Most popular

What is that? Ding Xuefei immediately looked at Yu Songlin.

Yu Songlin received Ding Xuefei's panicked gaze but didn't react much. He raised his hand, as if he were petting a puppy from a distance.

Surprisingly, Ding Xuefei was calmed down.

Xu Yimeng suddenly remembered something: "If I had known, I would have asked more questions about my ex when we played Truth or Dare!"

"Which of those exes I heard about sound like they were there? Let me think..." Stella looked up at the sky, trying to think hard.

Ke Ran said seriously, "First of all, let's rule out my brother Fei. If my ex were here, he wouldn't say that."

Ding Xuefei, feeling guilty, lowered her head and touched her nose: ...I'm sorry to have disappointed you.

Shang Rou, who was sitting next to her, suddenly sat up straight and said, "If you ask me... I think Song Lin is the most similar."

“Now that you mention it, it’s true.” Ke Ran nodded as if she suddenly realized, “The reason for the breakup was given in a very polite way, as if she had some reservations.”

"Is it Xiao Sheng? By the way, have you two ever had a rumored romance?" Bai Mu asked suspiciously.

Ning Yusheng laughed and waved her hand, finding it utterly absurd.

“No, it doesn’t feel right. It’s too natural, so it doesn’t feel right.” Stella touched her chin.

"Is there anyone that Brother Lin is particularly nice to... uh, or particularly unkind to?" Ke Ran asked.

Yu Songlin neither admitted nor denied it, remaining calm and composed. His smile even deepened due to the chaos of the scene. He said, "If it were me, I'd be curious to know who you all think my ex is here?"

"Isn't this chaotic enough already?" Ding Xuefei thought to herself, but then suddenly realized that he might be deliberately misleading everyone... Never mind, let's not talk about him for now.

Ding Xuefei lowered her head, then realized she couldn't be too obvious when they were face to face. She used all her acting skills to manage her expression and listened to everyone's discussion with an innocent look.

Everyone exchanged suspicious glances. When Ding Xuefei met Shang Rou's gaze, her heart skipped a beat. Suppressing her guilt, she mustered her courage and went to meet her.

Shang Rou blinked, and Ding Xuefei realized something was wrong, speaking up before Shang Rou could: "Ah, I have an idea. Is it possible that those who rush to point fingers at others at this time are actually trying to divert attention, or perhaps..."

That's true. Just like in Werewolf, the one who jumps the highest is always the charging wolf.

As soon as he said that, Shang Rou immediately fell silent.

The eight people were like playing a spy game, suspicious of each other, and because Ding Xuefei hadn't been able to say her words directly earlier.

Production crew: "Dear detectives! Have we forgotten something?"

"What?" Ding Xuefei asked, bewildered.

Only Xu Yimeng sat up straight and answered quickly, "I know! It's the answer to the previous question!"

Because there was no recording the night before last, the answer was announced today. Several days have passed, and Ding Xuefei, who is not very attentive, has completely forgotten about it.

The production team: "Yes! Isn't everyone curious about who the current most popular person is?"

Ding Xuefei thought to himself that he wasn't really curious. He had come to the dating reality show purely for fun and hadn't planned to find a partner. It was just that some unexpected situations arose after he arrived...

As for his texting habits, they're actually quite irregular. He's sent texts to everyone, fairly evenly, usually just to whoever he interacts with the most that day. But Yu Songlin is an exception.

Yes, I do send it to Yu Songlin sometimes, but only for a day or two.

Everyone was very supportive of the production team, looking at each other curiously.

Bai Mu whispered, "To be honest, I'm really curious which male guest is the most popular among the male guests. I feel like it might be a little awkward..."

Stella nudged him from the side and laughed, "Don't worry, it's not you!"

Everyone burst into laughter, urging the production team to stop keeping them in suspense and just reveal the answer.

The production team said, "Since everyone is so curious, let's start by announcing the male guest who is most popular with the female guests!"

"whispering sound--"

Xu Yimeng's eyes darted among the male guests, and she said, "Actually, I feel like there shouldn't be any suspense..."

Shang Rou blinked: "Really? I don't think so."

Xu Yimeng received Shang Rou's signal and became hesitant: "If that's the case, it seems..."

The production team: "Let's all guess!"

Xu Yimeng raised her hand: "I think it's Brother Lin!"

Ke Ran also raised his hand: "I second that proposal!"

Ding Xuefei's gaze fell on Yu Songlin's face. The latter was at the center of the conversation, but his face showed no emotion. He just smiled as usual, without accepting, without pride, and without rushing to refuse.

In terms of daily interactions, Yu Songlin is polite to everyone. Among the four female guests, except for Shang Rou, they are all very close to him.

Ding Xuefei snorted inwardly, thinking, "What kind of talk is this about 'giving him a chance'? He has no sense of male virtue."

Bullet comments:

"It's definitely Yu Yingdi, isn't it? Is there any suspense?"

"Right? Putting everything else aside, just based on the fact that the food is delicious, if it were me, I would definitely send a thank-you text message every day."

"Brother Bai is too bland, and Little Dog Ke is visibly uninteresting."

"Have you forgotten someone?"

"Please, with Ding Xuebeng's infuriating attitude every day, do you really think the female guests would like him?"

Yu Songlin was inexplicably glared at by Ding Xuefei, but he wasn't angry; instead, he felt a little happy.

I don't think so.

Everyone followed his gaze and looked at Ding Xuefei, who was sitting in the back corner of the crowd.

Ding Xuefei didn't react at first, but panicked when everyone looked over. She stuck out a finger and pointed at herself stupidly: "Why are you looking at me?"

Stella crossed her arms and frowned: "It's not impossible."

Ding Xuefei paused for a second, then quickly waved her hand.

How could that be! Although he received a lot of text messages, Yu Songlin definitely received more than him!

Feeling it couldn't be her, Ding Xuefei was eager to distance herself, telling the production team, "Just announce it already! I don't want to stir up trouble!"

The production team: "In that case, let's reveal the answer now. As of now, the most popular male guest among the female guests is—"

Ding Xuefei!

When those three words were uttered, everyone applauded Ding Xuefei.

Ke Ran: "Wow, Xuefei, you're even better than Lin! You didn't even give me a hint. I should have chosen you!"

Ding Xuefei felt inexplicably embarrassed and said to the female guests, "What's wrong with you guys? Why are you texting me!"

Stella pulled Shang Rou aside and said, "Isn't this kind of thing cute?"

Ding Xuefei: ...

Ke Ran was still a little unwilling because she didn't score, and asked, "Could I interview the ladies and tell them why they love my Xuefei so much?"

Shang Rou said, "I probably only realized after spending a lot of time with Xuefei that she has a really good personality. She's just a bit sharp-tongued sometimes, but she's actually very considerate of the team and a gentleman. I sent the most messages to Xuefei among the guys."

Stella said, "Yes, sometimes it's really fun to tease him, to argue with him, and to see him get angry."

Xu Yimeng suddenly realized something: "Oh dear, now that I think about it, I sent the most messages to Xuefei among the boys, so why didn't I choose him! How silly of me!"

Even Ning Yusheng, who had just arrived, said, "Haha, I also think Xuefei is especially cute! I hope we can get to know each other better in the future."

Her words were casual and easy, but they sent three male guests into a panic.

In Ding Xuefei's acting career, there are few such moments. He usually plays a supporting role, doing his best for his younger brothers in the group, and in variety shows, his bad temper highlights the good persona of other guests. He is used to it and doesn't care much.

Now that he's suddenly the center of attention, he feels quite uncomfortable...

Besides, he doesn't like girls! Although, he senses that none of the female guests have any romantic feelings for him...

Ding Xuefei was genuinely shy this time, and he quickly changed the subject: "Let's announce the next one quickly! This is purely coincidental!"

Production team: "Okay, let's see who the most popular male guest is! Who do you think it is?"

Ke Ran, looking distressed, recounted her thought process: "This is really hard to guess! I thought about it for a long time when I saw the question, and all I can say is—it's not me!"

Bai Mu quickly added, "Everyone knows it wasn't me."

Ding Xuefei had just breathed a sigh of relief. Since he was the most popular among the female guests, what did that mean? It meant that all those extra text messages he received were from the girls!

This greatly reduces his chances of being voted "most popular male guest".

He chuckled and said, "It shouldn't be me either."

Yu Songlin raised an eyebrow: "Let's hear the program team's answer."

Because this question was indeed difficult to guess, the production team didn't try to be mysterious this time: "Okay, then we'll announce the most popular male guest right away."

Three large characters lit up on the screen, leaving Ding Xuefei utterly astonished. "No? Why?"

"Is there... a mistake?" Ding Xuefei stammered, her voice trembling slightly. "The man... is that me too?"

The girls burst into laughter, exclaiming, "It's exactly what everyone wanted!"

Ke Ran laughed so hard she fell to the ground: "As expected of my brother Xuefei, you're awesome!"

Ding Xuefei was genuinely furious this time. He stood up, almost jumping up and down: "Why are you guys texting me for no reason! Didn't you all say you're straight men?!"

Bai Mu waved his hand: "We never said that. To be fair, I only sent one message to each of the male guests."

Ke Ran thought for a moment and said, "Me too."

Shang Rou's gaze fell on Yu Songlin.

Bullet comments:

"The most popular male guest among the male guests—just the first two words and the last four words are enough."

"No? What makes Ding Xuefei so special? Is she a relative of the production team?"

"Look, none of the male guests admitted to sending him text messages. Isn't the production team embarrassed?"

"Wait a minute, someone hasn't spoken yet."

"Never mind all that, let's start with a hearty kowtow as a sign of respect [eating voraciously]"

Ding Xuefei thought, "Wait a minute," and whispered to the production team, "Could it be that Elio's was included as well?"

The production team: "Elio wasn't included."

Ding Xuefei looked at Yu Songlin as if she had heard a ghost story. Yu Songlin turned to look at her in a hurry. Yu Songlin did not flinch but smiled at her.

If we eliminate all possibilities, the remaining one, no matter how outrageous, is still the answer—besides, it's not that outrageous.

What is Yu Songlin up to? The show just mentioned his "ex," and now he's bringing it up again. Isn't he afraid of arousing suspicion?

But Yu Songlin seemed completely unconcerned. He didn't respond to the chatter of the crowd, but stared at Ding Xuefei with a sly smile in his eyes.

Amidst the crowd, Ding Xuefei's cheeks flushed uncontrollably.

Seeing Yu Songlin tilt his head, Ding Xuefei knew that what he was about to say would cause a big problem, and he would have stopped Yu Songlin in private.

But at this moment, his words seemed to make him sound more approachable.

Ding Xuefei closed her eyes. Oh well, let him be! Anyway, Yu Songlin's mental problems have been going on for a while now!

Yu Songlin's voice was as gentle as ever, not loud, but very captivating.

"Yes, I text Xuefei every day."
