Chapter 8, Waist-grabbing Kill?

Chen Qiyang is not highly educated. He started working as a game streamer online after graduating from junior high school. He is only 18 years old this year. He has grown up and is tall. He is witty and humorous when playing games. He is also good-looking and has a lot of female fans.

Seeing the little boy's worried expression as he handed over the letter, the chat in the live stream was filled with both laughter and words of comfort.

Meanwhile, Yu Shuling was struggling with who to invite tonight.

Giving it to Zhao Cheng would seem a bit too deliberate and definitely wouldn't be good, and she didn't want to provoke Chen Qiyang, let alone ruin things for others. After thinking it over, it seemed that she could only send it to that white-collar worker Huang Dingyu.

Yu Shuling remembered that his relationship with that Zhu Tu was just so-so, and their attraction level wasn't very high. She figured they could just casually team up, since she wouldn't be too involved anyway.

Today was a tiring day. Although she gave Zhao Cheng a good beating, Yu Shuling also got several times more exercise than usual. After interacting with fans during the live stream, she finished making invitations for people, took a shower, and went to sleep. Naturally, she didn't forget to post a Weibo update before going to bed.

This is something she learned today with the system's help. She also went through the original owner's old Weibo posts to understand the original owner's selfie style. After that, Yu Shuling enthusiastically edited the entry related to the romance variety show, posted the photo of her and Zhao Cheng at the gym today, and tagged Zhao Cheng's Weibo account.

Zhao Cheng, who had just angrily logged off Weibo before going to bed, received a notification from someone he was following: "..."

The next day, when the show's cosplayer was doing Zhao Cheng's makeup, she couldn't help but ask:

"Didn't you sleep well last night? Your dark circles are so bad."

Zhao Cheng coughed and replied perfunctorily, "I had some personal matters to attend to and didn't sleep much."

As he said this, Zhang Deqi glanced at him secretly with resentment, his face showing displeasure.

Today's task is to team up for a PK battle. In order not to delay the process, the director posted the rules and last night's results on the big screen at the beginning.

As expected, Yu Shuling received an invitation from Chen Qiyang, and her invitation to Huang Dingyu was rejected; Huang Dingyu instead invited Zhu Tu.

When Zhu Tu saw an arrow suddenly appear on Huang Dingyu, her expression changed. Although she quickly returned to normal, it was still noticed by Yu Shuling and some attentive viewers.

Yu Shuling was surprised, but she remembered that the two of them were second to last in terms of their attraction level, even lower than Du Xuan and the others. Could it be that these two were slow to warm up?

Du Xuan and Zhao Cheng successfully teamed up, Huang Dingyu and Zhu Tu became a couple, and Lin Mucai and Tan Xiu, two anime enthusiasts, were already interacting sweetly. They were even sitting together at breakfast, with Lin Mucai handing Tan Xiu a tissue to wipe her mouth. Zhang Deqi was politely declined by Du Xuan and had to team up with Lu Lingling, who had invited him. After considering everything, Yu Shuling only had Chen Qiyang left to choose from.

The boy with silver-streaked hair is handsome and dashing. His tall stature and slightly childish face create a charming contrast, making him the kind of cute, puppy-like younger brother that everyone loves.

In her previous life, Yu Shuling lived to be in her thirties. Now, in this body, she is exactly twenty years old. Looking at this kind of boy, she definitely has a younger man vibe, and the age gap could even be considered a generation gap.

But the boy's warm gaze possessed a gentle, spring-like quality, completely different from the impeccably dressed yet greasy and repulsive Zhao Cheng. Seeing the slightly conflicted look on Yu Shuling's face, as if afraid she would reject him, he hurriedly leaned closer, then realized his mistake, his fingertips lightly fidgeting with the hem of his clothes, and lowered his eyes to discuss it with her:

"Sister Ling, would you like to join me? Actually, I already talked to Brother Zhang and Lingling last night. If you don't want to join me, we can switch teams!"

The younger brother was so cute and well-behaved that the comments section exploded instantly. Half of the comments were saying, "My son, don't let good looks blind you," while the other half were shouting that they wanted to ship the two of them as a couple.

Yu Shuling's fans are struggling to survive. Since Chen Qiyang appeared on this show, his popularity has been rising steadily. His Weibo followers are growing even faster than those of Yu Shuling and Zhang Deqi, who are both idols and actors. However, this is also because neither of them is very popular.

The production cost of "Heartbeat Start-up Plan" was not too high. It focused on a low-cost, high-return approach and became famous for "not relying on high traffic to attract viewers and not giving viewers fake sweet moments during live broadcasts." Therefore, the highest number of actors they could afford was second-tier. Zhang Deqi could be considered to have one representative work at best, but the supporting role he played was not a particularly outstanding character. Yu Shuling was even less impressive. Therefore, the appearance fee was not too high.

Yu Shuling's fans, of course, dared not say anything, fearing that it would ruin their idol's hard-won goodwill with the general public. Most of them remained silent and dared not speak, only watching the male side's fans and anti-fans who went too far to report her.

On camera, Yu Shuling was too embarrassed to directly refuse her younger brother's half-coquettish, half-pleading request. The main reason was that Chen Qiyang had already asked on camera, and even if his voice was soft, it could still be heard through the microphone. If Yu Shuling refused on the spot, it would be quite disrespectful.

She didn't dislike Chen Qiyang, but she wasn't thinking about dating right now. Besides, today's task was to go to the countryside, and the only mode of transportation was a tricycle or a motorcycle. Rewards would be distributed based on arrival time, with the first person to arrive getting priority in choosing the task.

The tricycles are electric, so the production team wouldn't bother having these people struggle to ride them on dirt roads. Besides, the tricycles have canopies, and since it's sunny today, the usual format would have the male guests outside in the sun while the female guests sit inside. Motorcycles can carry passengers, but after asking around, almost no one knows how to drive one.

"Sorry, I can only ride an electric scooter."

Chen Qiyang's answer was within Yu Shuling's expectations. Among the other male guests, only one could ride a motorcycle. In an era when people often traveled by subway and car, it was indeed rare for people to specifically practice riding motorcycles.

However, Yu Shuling knew from the original owner's memories that the original owner had ridden a motorcycle when filming music videos before, and had even learned some racing techniques. Since she had the original owner's body memories, she should only need to practice a little, so while others walked towards the electric tricycles, she went straight to the motorcycle.

"Can your sister ride a motorcycle?"

Without her realizing it, the boy had changed how he addressed her, but for some reason, it carried a more ambiguous and ambiguous feel.

Chen Qiyang followed closely behind her, his slender body casting a shadow in the sunlight, perfectly concealing Yu Shuling.

The subtle yet reassuring physique difference, along with the boyfriend-like charm hidden in the details, made viewers scream with excitement in the comments. Their chemistry was noticeably stronger than when she was with Zhao Cheng.

Yu Shuling simply nodded nonchalantly.

With a swift movement of her long legs, Yu Shuling straddled the front seat, Chen Qiyang following closely behind. The design of this motorcycle had clearly been altered; the bulky rear box had been removed, leaving only handrails on either side for passengers to hold onto.

As Yu Shuling was adjusting and getting used to the feel of the instrument, she heard the boy behind her speak in a deliberately lowered voice. Chen Qiyang lowered his eyes, his gentle, peach-blossom eyes showing a hint of shyness and unease at the prospect of rejection.

"Sister, may I hold your waist?"
