"I'm back! Let's see who's here today!"

Ding Xuefei returned to the Heartbeat Villa, still in high spirits, and excitedly introduced his idol to everyone.

Fang Jinyu followed behind him, reaching out to shield him from the decorations he almost bumped into, and whispered, "Be careful."

Ding Xuefei then noticed that it was a special arrangement they had made to welcome the new guests. The plastic balls were very light, so they wouldn't cause any harm if they were bumped.

But the long-lost feeling of being cared for warmed his heart, while also making him feel a little strange.

Ding Xuefei whispered "thank you," then pulled Fang Jinyu into the house. He dragged Fang Jinyu to the middle, spread his arms wide in an exaggerated welcoming gesture, and laughed, "Ta-da! This is my idol, Fang Jinyu!"

"Welcome, welcome!"

Everyone was very enthusiastic. Ke Ran winked at Ding Xuefei, saying, "It's been a long time since I've seen Brother Xuefei smile like that!"

Ding Xuefei glared at him, then glanced at the people on the sofa before noticing that there was a new female guest sitting next to Yu Songlin.

Their eyes met, and both of them stiffly looked away.

"Xuefei, you haven't met her yet, have you? This is our new female guest today, actress Ye Ming."

Ding Xuefei looked in the direction of Shang Rou's voice and saw Ye Ming waving at him with a bright smile.

She has a neat short haircut, a healthy complexion, and a style that leans towards androgyny with American-style makeup. However, it doesn't look out of place on her at all, and she looks full of energy.

Ding Xuefei nodded and greeted her, sensing that she would get along well with Ye Ming.

The first floor was filled with laughter and chatter as everyone gathered around the two new guests.

Ding Xuefei wanted to go upstairs to change her clothes, and as she went upstairs, she noticed that someone sitting in the middle of the sofa had also followed her.

He was feeling irritable, not because he wanted to argue with Yu Songlin, but because he hadn't been able to process what happened yesterday and wanted to calm down first. He didn't want to talk to Yu Songlin for the time being.

He could tell that Yu Songlin was also not in a good state.

Yu Songlin, who was usually so calm that he envied her, was now impulsively standing in front of Ding Xuefei. Even his eyes were no longer calm and unwavering, as if he was eager to explain something.

Ding Xuefei frowned and said a second before Yu Songlin could speak, "I don't want to talk."

Yu Songlin's eagerness came to an abrupt halt. He clenched his fists, swallowed his words, and watched helplessly as Ding Xuefei brushed past him.

Are you alright?

Ding Xuefei was about to run downstairs when she heard this, and she was taken aback. She quickly said "It's nothing" before running downstairs.

The conversation at dinner naturally revolved around the two new guests.

"I thought there wouldn't be any new guests, but I didn't expect two to come all at once, and they're such heavyweights!" Ke Ran was always the most supportive one.

The two guests modestly replied that they did not.

"By the way, why did you guys come to this show?"

Ye Ming spoke first: "Of course it's because I want to find someone to date! Actually, I wanted to come earlier, but I had other work to do. As soon as I finished my work, I came right away!"

The others were amused by Ye Ming, and Xu Yimeng asked her, "Are you satisfied with what you saw?"

"Very satisfied!"

After everyone laughed and joked for a while, it was Fang Jinyu's turn. Compared to Ye Ming, he was much more composed, and his words gave people a different feeling.

Fang Jinyu gave an awkward smile: "Actually, I was dragged here to save the day..."

Everyone knows what happened, of course. If Elio hadn't left the show at the last minute, there would have been enough male guests by now.

Ding Xuefei boldly criticized: "Fortunately, some people have self-awareness. It's so great that you could come, Teacher Fang!"

Fang Jinyu winked at Ding Xuefei and smiled, "I first heard about it from Bai Mu. He rarely appears on dating reality shows, so I paid attention to it too..."

Bai Mu and Fang Jinyu exchanged a glance and clinked their glasses.

They are both singers and have always kept in touch. When Bai Mu heard Fang Jinyu say this, he didn't deny anything.

"Later, the production team sent me an invitation, and I looked at the guest list..."

Fang Jinyu spoke slower and slower, then suddenly stopped, and everyone held their breath along with him.

"Who did you see?!"

"Oh, our teacher Fang came prepared!"

Fang Jinyu simply smiled and dodged the question: "I found that all the guests here are exceptionally talented, so I gladly accepted the program team's invitation."

Everyone sighed with regret, "Oh dear!"

Fang Jinyu deliberately said, "What's wrong? Wouldn't it be better if I accepted the invitation?"

Ding Xuefei, who was closest to him, was the first to retort: ​​"Of course not! We are all very happy and welcome you here!"

"Of course!" Xu Yimeng chimed in with a smile. "The chance to date a singing god is something you can't even ask for!"

"Exactly!" Stella winked deliberately. "God of Songs, I wonder if I have a chance?"

Fang Jinyu smiled without saying a word.

Bai Mu, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't bear it any longer and said to Stella on his behalf, "You're in a tough spot. I advise you to give up."

Having spent so much time together, Stella and Bai Mu were quite familiar with each other. She was so angry she hit him: "Hey, how could you do this!"

"Oh, I think I understand!" Ning Yusheng blinked her big eyes and covered her mouth.

"What? What!" Ke Ran turned to ask, but Ning Yusheng shook her head and remained silent. When pressed, she whispered, "I'll tell you later."

Ding Xuefei was completely confused and didn't understand what they were talking about. He glanced at Yu Songlin, who noticed his gaze but remained unmoved.

Even Ding Xuefei himself didn't realize that at times like this, he would subconsciously look at Yu Songlin. Of everyone present, he would subconsciously trust Yu Songlin first, as he was the closest to him.

If none of them knew, Ding Xuefei would feel like she wasn't alone.

If Yu Songlin knew, Ding Xuefei could ask him about it after the event.

It's now clear that Yu Songlin knows, but Ding Xuefei can't ask him.

Ding Xuefei felt a little annoyed after realizing this.

He could only nudge Xu Yimeng on the other side and ask her what she meant.

"Didn't you say you were his fan?!" Xu Yimeng looked anxious after hearing the question and whispered in Ding Xuefei's ear, "I also saw it online. Didn't they always say he's gay?"

Ding Xuefei had heard about this before. It was said that Fang Jinyu was nearly thirty years old and had never had any scandals, so many people speculated that he might not like women. In the past, there were rumors that he had a relationship with a male lyricist, but at that time Ding Xuefei had only recently become a fan and had great faith in her idol.

Later, he himself became gay, and looking back on this incident, he felt that what was said online wasn't impossible... However, he is a very principled fan, and he would never speculate wildly about things that his idol hadn't explicitly stated!

He himself is a pure fan of the work, and at most a fan of the looks and character. He completely admires his idol and has no fantasies about him in any way.

Ding Xuefei's gaze returned to Fang Jinyu. His idol showed no embarrassment and generously smoothed things over, saying, "It is my honor to have the opportunity to meet Stella."

Stella then realized what she had done and laughed, saying, "I'm sorry for the offense."

"Let's not talk about that anymore. Everyone's here, so of course we can't leave out a talent show!" Bai Mu helped his friend change the subject, giving him a chance to showcase his skills.

"Yay!" Ding Xuefei snapped out of her brief daze and became excited for her idol.

He has been a big fan of Fang Jinyu since high school, and Ding Xuefei still has Fang Jinyu's hit song "Adventure" on his playlist.

Fang Jinyu cleared her throat, and just as she was about to sing, she suddenly laughed again: "Won't it be a bit dry to sing a cappella?"

"Of course not!" Ding Xuefei exclaimed, completely affirming her idol's voice. "Teacher Fang sings beautifully no matter how she sings!"

"Please don't call me Teacher Fang, it sounds too formal."

Fang Jinyu sat next to Ding Xuefei. His voice was low, and he turned slightly to look at Ding Xuefei as he spoke, making Ding Xuefei feel like she had nowhere to hide.

Ding Xuefei admitted he was a little nervous; he wasn't used to being so close to other people. "So, what should I call you?"

"Just call me Jinyu." Fang Jinyu smiled at him. "Give it a try."

Ding Xuefei was at a loss for what to do, while everyone else just watched the spectacle without saying a word.

Even though I know it's for a TV show, it's still a bit too intimate, isn't it? Is he joking? He should at least call me "brother"...

Just as Ding Xuefei opened her mouth in a dilemma, Fang Jinyu suddenly smiled and said, "Just kidding, Xuefei, why are you so easily teased? Call me Brother Jinyu, okay?"

The others laughed, and Ding Xuefei felt a little embarrassed, her face slightly flushed.

Stella teased Ding Xuefei, "Looks like a true fan, she even gets shy in front of her idol!"

This made Ding Xuefei even more embarrassed. He didn't know how the atmosphere had turned out this way, and he felt that something was wrong.

In the chaos, Ding Xuefei's eyes met those of Yu Songlin, who was sitting in the corner. Beneath his smiling mask, Yu Songlin was not in a good mood, but Ding Xuefei had no idea why.

While this commotion was going on, Bai Mu had already brought out the guitar. Fang Jinyu took it and casually strummed the strings with a very professional motion.

Fang Jinyu's singing voice goes without saying; he only sang a few lines and he demonstrated the skill of a professional singer, completely drawing the audience into the atmosphere of the song.

As Fang Jinyu finished singing a section, he strummed his guitar, and applause rang out around him, as if it was almost over.

A sweet electronic voice suddenly rang in Ding Xuefei's ears:

[Task issued: Heavenly praise! After Fang Jinyu's performance, look at him with admiration and say in a coquettish tone, "Brother Jinyu, you are so amazing, can you teach me?"]

Mission Reward: One Fastpass Card!

Penalty for failure: You must sing off-key on the next show.

Huh? Why is it different from before?

Ding Xuefei called out in her mind, "Little Sweetie!"

【What's wrong, Master? OvO】

"Is something wrong with this mission?"

If he remembered correctly, every time he had ever acted cute before, it was clearly directed at Yu Songlin, right?

Ding Xuefei looked at Yu Songlin, who was clapping along with everyone else, but kept glancing at Ding Xuefei's movements.

Something's not right, something's definitely not right!

"Why would it be directed at Fang Jinyu? Shouldn't it be directed at Yu Songlin?"

After a three-second pause, or rather, a stutter, the electronic voice continued:

【No, Master, the mission is normal. Please complete it as soon as possible.】
