Chapter 131 The Movie Emperor's Little Cat Darling 15
After a pause, Wang Hong's gaze swept over everyone, and he continued, "Actually, this is also an opportunity for everyone to rethink things. After all, different combinations may spark different ideas and might have unexpected effects."
Of course, the final choice is entirely in your hands; the production team will not force anyone.
Everyone understood what he meant: yesterday's group assignments hadn't worked as expected, lacking any sense of chemistry and failing to generate buzz. The production team wanted to shuffle things up and start over, reminding the guests that they could also seize this opportunity.
Su Yao wasn't buying it, and scoffed, "They call it a choice, but isn't it basically just making us fight over the male guests? This rule design is just too unfair..."
Having made the decision to give up the entertainment industry, she has no fear.
[Su Yao is right, the show's rules are outrageous! Why should the female guests have to choose again when the male guests don't move? Isn't this blatant manipulation? It's incredibly greedy!]
[Why should female guests have to compete for male guests?]
[Isn't Su Yao being too sensitive? It's just a rule, why make such a big deal out of it? Wang Hong already said it was voluntary, it's like someone forced her.]
[I admire this woman. I used to think she was a bit pretentious, but now I realize she's really outspoken. I've become a fan.]
[Haha, Su Yao's move directly slapped the production team in the face; they must be stunned!]
[Does the production team think viewers enjoy watching this kind of cutthroat competition? It's really unnecessary; can't they just focus on completing the tasks?]
The comments section was flooded with messages, and the show's actions clearly sparked considerable controversy.
Qin Shu glanced around calmly, then gently tugged at Su Yao's sleeve and whispered, "Su Yao, don't get too excited. The production team is just making a suggestion. Why don't we listen to what other people think before making a decision?"
Zhou Muyan also smiled and smoothed things over: "Yes, Teacher Su, the production team said that we can re-form teams, but we can also maintain the original teams. Don't worry, I will definitely continue to choose you. No one can replace your position in my heart."
After saying that, he winked at her.
Su Yao: ...
Having let go of her burdens, she found herself struggling to resist such earthy temptations.
Gu Huaiye held Yun Zhen in his arms, staring intently at her pointed ears, showing no interest in the argument or the opposing topics.
He now only has Yunzhen in his heart and eyes.
It doesn't matter who his partner is, as long as they don't bother him.
However, it seems we need to urge Yan Shuyi to hurry up and replace the entire production team as soon as possible!
Jiang Yubai leaned to one side, arms crossed, his gaze fixed on Yun Zhen, focused and deep, seemingly oblivious to the noisy arguments around him.
Yun Zhen looked at Su Yao, wondering to herself, "Has she really given up on the mission? She didn't even glance at Gu Huaiye today."
It's unclear what measures the system will take if she continues to remain inactive.
Yunzhen felt she needed to observe and understand the situation more carefully.
Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, Lin Yue felt a bit more confident and quickly took over the conversation, trying to divert everyone's attention.
"Alright, now that the rules have been announced, let's think about how to regroup. We'll give you ten minutes to discuss freely, and then we'll officially confirm the teams in ten minutes."
After she finished speaking, she winked at Wang Hong, who nodded and said, "Yes, let's discuss this first. Feel free to share any ideas you may have."
Although Su Yao was still dissatisfied, seeing that no one else intended to continue arguing, she had no choice but to suppress her emotions for the time being, stand coldly to the side, and stop talking.
The atmosphere in the living room became somewhat tense for a moment. The female guests exchanged glances, but none of them spoke first.
Su Yao was unwilling to be led by the nose by the production team, and she didn't dare to approach Gu Huaiye. She also didn't want to be rude to Jiang Yubai. After thinking about it, she still felt that Zhou Muyan was not unbearable.
Qin Shu didn't want to give up on Gu Huaiye, so naturally she didn't want to form a new team.
Song Wanqing was the most serious and dedicated among them. She participated in the show for fame and traffic, but she didn't want to change the situation. She felt that Jiang Yubai was pretty good. Apart from having an extra mouth, there was nothing wrong with him.
Thus, the group assignments remained unchanged, and all the hard work of the production team was wasted.
The director and others did not expect that the female guests this time would be so unambitious, and that they did not even compete.
Seeing that everyone had made their choice, Wang Hong quickly clapped his hands and announced, "Alright, since that's the case, let's set off now. I wish you all a successful mission today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the guests began to move the watermelons onto the car, preparing to head to town.
Gu Huaiye, holding Yun Zhen, looked at Qin Shu beside him and asked, "Teacher Qin, can you ride a tricycle?"
Qin Shu shook her head, embarrassed, and said, "No."
"Then I'll trouble you to sit in the truck bed."
The driver's seat of this electric tricycle is for one person, but it can squeeze in two people.
Qin Shu was surprised that he would make her sit in the cramped back of the cart, not even letting her squeeze in to sit in the front. A look of embarrassment flashed across her eyes.
"Okay, okay."
Qin Shu climbed onto the truck bed, while Gu Huaiye carefully placed Yun Zhen beside him and gave her detailed instructions:
"Xiaoyun, sit tight. The ride might be a bit bumpy. If you feel uncomfortable, call me immediately, no matter what, okay?"
Yun Guai nodded and let out a soft "meow".
Upon seeing this, Qin Shu's expression turned unsightly.
Her overtures were met with such a cold response; in his heart, she was not even as good as a cat.
Undeniably, this cat is very beautiful and intelligent, but it is, after all, just a cat!
Qin Shu felt a surge of grievance and resentment, and her gaze involuntarily fell on Yun Zhen, her eyes deep and dark.
Yunzhen suddenly turned around and met her gaze.
Their crystal-clear eyes seemed to pierce through to the very core of one's being, revealing all darkness and obscurity.
The moment Qin Shu met her gaze, she felt extremely uncomfortable, as if all her pretenses had been stripped away.
She bit her lip, subconsciously looked away, her heart pounding uncontrollably, and a strange panic rising from the soles of her feet.
Seeing this, Yun Zhen also turned around, not taking Qin Shu's malice to heart.
Although she is vengeful, she is not a ruthless person. Moreover, we live in a society governed by law. As long as the other party does not intend to do anything to her, she has no intention of taking action.
But if the other party really wants to do something, she will never be polite!
Gu Huaiye slowly started the car and drove towards the town.
Throughout the journey, Gu Huaiye kept glancing at Yun Zhen beside him. Seeing that she was sitting obediently and did not try to jump out of the carriage, he was relieved.
Yunzhen swayed gently in the breeze, her tail bobbing softly, looking quite content.
Upon arriving in town, Gu Huaiye parked his car in a spot with good foot traffic.
Because of Gu Huaiye's visibly cold demeanor, Qin Shu didn't ask him to help her out of the car; she simply jumped down herself.
After all, her every move is being watched by the audience, and she doesn't want to become a laughing stock by being too proactive.
Gu Huaiye quickly set up his stall, while Yun Zhen squatted to the side, occasionally patting the watermelon with her paw or swaying it from side to side.
A gentle breeze stirred, causing her long, silky fur to sway gracefully in the wind, its sheen shimmering. Her clear, bright, and innocent eyes, like crystal, captivated passersby who glanced at her.
Not only passersby, but also viewers in the live stream were immediately struck by the shock.
Feeling the overwhelming power of affection, Yun Zhen squinted her eyes contentedly.
It was worth it for her to deliberately act cute.
This watermelon sale is the perfect opportunity for her to win over the audience.
Gu Huaiye knew Yun Zhen's plan, so he cooperated without making a sound.
But he also felt bad, thinking that she had been wronged too much.
If a cat wants to gain a lot of love, it has no better way than to act cute.
However, Gu Huaiye also had other plans in mind.
He plans to use Xiaoyun as the core IP to create a theme park, launch a series of figurines, and prepare a corresponding movie to promote the Xiaoyun image in all aspects, so that more people can know and love her.
Because of Yunzhen's actions, the stall was quickly surrounded by people, and the number of watermelons disappeared at a visible speed.
When Jiang Yu finally managed to find Yun Zhen and her group's stall after pedaling his tricycle with great effort, they had already sold out of watermelons and were packing up to head home.
Jiang Yubai's face, which had been carrying a slight smile, instantly fell apart.
Gu Huaiye gave him a smug look, then picked up Yun Zhen and strode away.
Jiang Yubai's face immediately turned ugly. He gritted his teeth, wishing he could rush up and punch him, smashing that disgusting face to pieces.
Back at the country cottage, Yunzhen found that all the staff members were new faces, and even the director had been replaced. She couldn't help but glance at Gu Huaiye.
Gu Huaiye kept her by his side at all times, so Yunzhen naturally knew about the things he had entrusted to Yan Shuyi.
This is good too. With the staff replaced by her own people, the camera can focus on her more, making it easier for her to win over the audience.
Sure enough, the production team didn't cause any more trouble after that. They even opened a separate live stream room for Yun Zhen, and Gu Huaiye registered a Weibo account in her name.
In the following few days, Yunzhen quickly became an internet sensation thanks to her quirky and adorable performance on the show.
His fan base has rapidly grown to millions and is about to break the ten million mark.
This is incredible for a cat, considering that this data is based solely on this ordinary rural variety show, which she has never shown before.
These figures even surpass those of Gu Huaiye when he first debuted.
This rapidly growing fanbase also brought Yunzhen enormous benefits.
A continuous stream of love gathered and poured into her body.
Although these energies are not as pure as the power of love and desire, they are enormous in quantity.
Yunzhen clearly felt that her soul was filled with an unprecedented sense of fullness. This fullness piled up layer upon layer, spreading from the deepest part of her soul to her limbs and bones, giving her an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
…………
In the dead of night, the country cottage fell into tranquility, and the moonlight poured down, dyeing the surrounding world into a cool and white hue.
In the bedroom, Yun Zhen, as usual, was curled up in Gu Huaiye's arms, sleeping soundly.
Unbeknownst to anyone, a faint glow quietly emanated from Yunzhen's body as she slept, like the first wisps of morning mist, hazy and dreamlike.
The halo of light flowed gently, and wherever it touched, the originally fine and soft cat fur quietly faded away like snow melting in spring, replaced by long hair as smooth as black silk, which spread freely on the pillow.
The cat ears and tail slowly disappeared, and the furry body gradually transformed into a graceful woman.
The woman's skin was as white as snow, her face was beautiful, her lips were naturally red, and her delicate and beautiful eyes were slightly closed, with long eyelashes casting faint shadows that trembled slightly with her breath, like fluttering butterflies.
She was like a fairy of the night, beautiful as a dream, even the quiet space was tinged with a magical color because of her.
The morning sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains. Gu Huaiye groggily opened his eyes, his arm moving unconsciously as if he wanted to hug the kitten in his arms tighter.
However, what his palm touched was no longer the soft, fluffy cat fur, but a piece of delicate, warm skin.
He was startled and instantly snapped back to reality. He instinctively looked down and his pupils constricted.
The cat that had been curled up in his arms was gone, replaced by a stunningly beautiful woman.
She nestled in his arms, her long, black hair cascading down the pillow like a waterfall. With her soft, gentle breathing, her warm breath brushed against his chest like a feather, sending shivers down his spine.
No matter how beautiful the woman was, Gu Huaiye's heart had already been given to Xiaoyun, even though others would not understand the depth of his feelings.
He instinctively tried to push the person out of his arms, but just as he raised his hand, a lightning-fast thought flashed through his mind, and an unbelievable conjecture surfaced in his heart.
—Could this woman be Xiaoyun?
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Gu Huaiye immediately thought of Xiaoyun's special characteristics and confirmed his guess.
He wasn't a light sleeper who would wake up at the slightest noise, but if someone quietly sneaked into the room and snuggled into his arms, he would definitely not be unaware and would still be sound asleep.
There is only one person who can make him completely let down his guard and relax to this extent, and that is Xiaoyun.
Moreover, he subconsciously felt very close to this woman.
What she brought him was not the abruptness and wariness of a stranger intruding, but a strange sense of security, as if they were meant to be together all along.
She belongs here, in his embrace.
Gu Huaiye's heart skipped a beat, his throat tightened, and he was speechless for a moment.
He opened his mouth, and after a long while, he managed to call out with difficulty, "Little...Little Yun?"
Upon hearing the sound, Yunzhen stirred slightly and slowly opened her eyes.
