Zhu Mingyue: "Clip!"

A single, concise word ended the entanglement among the three people.

Zhu Jinzhao slowly raised her head, looking at Zhu Mingyue who had suddenly appeared behind her with some surprise.

Zhu Mingyue looked down at Shi Jing and handed him the sweet and sour pork.

Shi Jing raised the bowl in her hand, unusually obedient, and quickly picked out two pieces of pork tenderloin.

"Here you go." He handed the bowl back to Ning Shi, his temper, which had been flaring up halfway, instantly deflated.

Zhu Mingyue pulled the plate back: "Does Chaochao want some?"

Zhu Jinzhao didn't want any, but feeling that Zhu Mingyue's aura was too strong, she still gritted her teeth and took two pieces.

"Thank you, Mingyue."

Zhu Mingyue gave a faint "hmm," then picked up the plate and asked the other guests at the table, "Does anyone else want sweet and sour pork?"

Fang Lei raised his hand: "I want to try it!"

Li Weiwan: "I'd like to give it a try too."

Zhu Mingyue then carried the plate over and distributed the sweet and sour pork to the others one by one.

Wow, this real heiress has such a beautiful personality! I like her!

[She truly is a genuine heiress; she's much more pleasing to the eye than any imposter!]

[A stunningly beautiful woman with a cool and aloof demeanor, and a strong, independent personality! Any directors willing to offer her scripts? I'd love to see her act!]

"Thank you, Shi Choupi. The sweet and sour pork was delicious." Ning Shi was visibly happy that her small wish had been fulfilled.

Shi Jing gave a perfunctory "uh-huh" and didn't say anything.

"Shi Jing, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Jinzhao tilted her head and looked at him, feeling that he was suddenly acting strangely. "Why have you suddenly become so obedient since Mingyue came?"

"I wasn't being obedient," Shi Jing defended himself with a straight face. "I just felt that your sister Mingyue has a rather unique temperament, so I kept a low profile and observed the situation."

"Hmm... I need to correct you on two points." Zhu Jinzhao swallowed the pork tenderloin in his mouth and said seriously.

"Which two points?" Shi Jing started acting erratically again. "This point and that point?"

Zhu Jinzhao: "..."

She ignored Shi Jing's ramblings and continued, "First, Mingyue shouldn't be considered my older sister because we were born on the same day. Second, I don't think you're just observing calmly; you've been intimidated by Mingyue, haven't you?"

"...Nonsense." Shi Jing straightened his back, refusing to admit it no matter what. "How could a grown man like me be intimidated by a little girl like her? I'm just calm and composed!"

“…Oh.” Zhu Jinchao didn’t believe it.

In the live stream, a strange and unusual couple was born.

[What to do, what to do? I think Zhu Mingyue and Young Master Shi should be a great couple too!]

[A rebellious young master from Beijing's elite elite circle VS a cold and aloof heiress—ahhh, this is so sweet!]

"A mirage" isn't entirely out of the question... (Nike laughs)

Although I ship "Ning Jing's Summer," among the guests present, it seems only Zhu Mingyue could handle Young Master Shi! Mom, I ship "Mirror Flower Water Moon" too!

Keep kneading, kneading everything will only make your nutrition more balanced!

"Sister Yang."

Assistant Xiao Wu nervously pushed open the door to Yang Min's office.

Yang Min sat leisurely in the chair, with the tablet in front of her playing "Let's Make Friends Season 2".

"Sister Yang, Su Ying has made her move against Zhu Jinzhao first!" Xiao Wu said quickly as he walked up to Yang Min.

"I know," Yang Min replied calmly, showing no concern about the matter.

"Ah..." She stretched her arms and yawned, then twisted her slightly sore neck a couple of times, a faint smile on her face.

“Sister Yang…” Xiao Wu frowned, somewhat puzzled, “Zhu Jinzhao went on the variety show to get revenge. But now, before she’s even had a chance to do anything, Su Ying has already taken the lead. Everyone in the live stream is speculating whether Zhu Jinzhao did something bad to bully Su Ying, and Su Ying is about to go from being the perpetrator to the victim. If public opinion continues to develop like this, we’ll suffer a great loss.”

"I know," Yang Min replied with those same three words.

Xiao Wu became anxious: "Since you know, then why..."

What I'm about to say might be a bit offensive, so Xiao Wu thought about it but didn't dare to say it.

Yang Min slid her chair closer to the tablet, looking down at the constantly scrolling comments in the live stream.

"What's the rush? The variety show has only been airing for a morning, and these guests haven't even had a chance to show their true colors yet."

"...Sister Yang, what do you mean?" Xiao Wu didn't understand what she was saying.

She smiled knowingly, her red lips curving slightly: "They say variety shows are like a mirror that reveals all, showing both people and ghosts. Netizens have sharp eyes; they can clearly tell whether what's in front of the camera is a person or a ghost."

"Don't worry, these opinions are temporary. Give Zhu Jinzhao some time, and I believe she can reverse public opinion with her own abilities."

"...Huh?" Xiao Wu's lack of confidence was obvious to the naked eye.

Yang Min didn't say much to him. She focused intently on the live stream on her tablet and suddenly started complaining about the crazy CP fans.

"Seriously, what's wrong with these netizens? Why are they randomly pairing people up like this?"

"What?" Xiao Wu was completely confused.

Yang Min rolled her eyes speechlessly: "How could Young Master Shi possibly have a thing for Zhu Mingyue? It's obvious that he's interested in Zhu Jinzhao!"

"Holy crap, there are still people shipping Ning Shi and Shi Jing... Ning Shi's soulmate is clearly Fang Lei! Fang Lei has said for a long time that Ning Shi is his goddess."

"This is even weirder, it involves Su Ying and Shi Jing! If Shi Jing didn't slap Su Ying away, he'd be incredibly weak!"

Xiao Wu: "..."

The way you're doing it is pretty weird...

After dinner, the seven guests left the garden restaurant and took the production crew's van to the seaside villa.

The villa is located on the most famous beach on Flower Island and has three floors.

The first floor is the living room for dining and activities, while the second and third floors are the rooms for guests to rest.

After getting off the car, the seven guests gathered in the living room.

The assistant director, wearing a small bee-shaped hat and carrying a wooden box for drawing lots, stood by the dining table and announced the rules for drawing rooms.

"The production team prepared three suites for everyone, each with a different decoration style and size. To avoid arguments over unequal distribution, the production team specially set up a small task."

"Complete the task first, then draw lots. Whoever finishes first draws first."

Fang Lei: "What is the mission?"

The assistant director glanced at the cue card, and his rough, hoarse voice, accompanied by the buzzing of a small bee, echoed in the living room.

"Teamwork Challenge - Blindfolded Banana Feeding".

Su Ying smiled sweetly and said, "I know this. It's about one person being blindfolded and feeding another person a banana based on their intuition."

The assistant director nodded: "That's right, the team whose partner finishes eating the bananas first will be the first to draw lots."

"Xiao Yi, put on your eye patch!"
