A smile appeared on Qin Yubai's lips; her heart was almost melted by her casual coaxing.
I was about to say "I miss you too," but before I could say it, I heard her say, "Bye-bye, I have a lot of packages sent to school, but I don't want to go all that way to pick them up. Can you bring them to me and then open them for me to see?"
Qin Yubai: "..."
I knew it; every time she said something nice, she would start ordering him around.
She's been like this since she was little.
I remember one winter vacation when she didn't want to do her homework, so she dragged him and showered him with compliments: "Bai Bai, serious boys are the most handsome, especially the way you look when you're doing your homework. You could easily be included in the Asia-Pacific's Most Handsome People's Pictorial."
Then she shoved the pen into his hand, propped her chin up, and stared at him intently: "Help me with my homework, I want to see your handsome face more often."
Then Qin Yubai admitted defeat.
Even knowing that she was just sweet-talking him and deceiving him, he was still happy to accept it and willingly succumbed to her sweet words.
Who told him to fall for that?
So now he has fallen into her trap again: "Okay, I'll go get it for you tomorrow."
Then Jian Zhizhen talked to him about many recent events, mostly everyday trivialities.
Qin Yubai gradually understood.
Actually, she wasn't just saying nice things to deceive him.
She did miss him, just as he missed her.
The two didn't end their chat until Jian Zhizhen was so tired she couldn't stay awake any longer.
During this period, Jian Zhizhen needed to stay at home with his parents, and he couldn't stay in Yan Village every day.
He used to dislike appearing on variety shows, but now he's starting to look forward to it.
At least after going on the show, we can be together openly and even sleep in the same room at night!
...
In the days that followed, Lin Yunfei really didn't dare to cause any more trouble.
Moreover, in order to win back Lin Yi's heart, she also subtly tried to win over Jian Zhizhen.
Although she didn't personally campaign for Luo Xiaoqiang, she liked posts that were campaigning for her.
She expressed to the audience, "I know that Luo Xiaoqiang and Jian Zhizhen are close, but I still support her joining, so I really have no grudge against Jian Zhizhen."
Luo Xiaoqiang's votes are far ahead of the competition, she's definitely going to be the new female guest next episode.
On the male side, the most competitive candidate is an e-sports player.
His real name is Yu Ming, which is quite ordinary. His game ID is "Leng Yue Ao Shuang". People usually call him "Leng Ao".
He usually likes to wear a black hoodie and sunglasses when playing e-sports, to hide his tall, slender figure and mysterious face.
His personality is as aloof as his ID. During the competition, he kept his head down the whole time and didn't say a word of nonsense, like a noble lone wolf.
His fans choreographed a hand gesture dance for him, with the following lyrics and gestures:
A cold moon shines brightly amidst frost, and his face is handsome! (↑←↖↗↑)
A lone wolf in the esports world, standing tall against the cold moon and frost! (↙↘↑→←)
Eighty million summoners are all going crazy for you! (→→↗↗↖↖)
Anyone who dares to oppose you is courting their own destruction! (←←↙↙↗↗)
...
Why would someone as aloof as Leng Ao participate in a dating reality show?
The reason is that in the previous episode, Qin Yubai played a game with people from the opposite timeline and completely crushed them.
Then some people, not wanting to miss out on the drama, left a message for Leng Ao: "Qin Yubai is a scientist who is good at studying and also good at games. It's a good thing he didn't enter the e-sports circle, otherwise your reputation as a lone wolf in e-sports would be in jeopardy."
He replied, "I must have a chance to spar with Qin Yubai."
Then, I actually submitted my resume.
The audience really wants to see him fight, no, spar with Qin Yubai. Many people have voted for him and are looking forward to their clash.
However, compared to the entertainment industry, the e-sports circle is still a niche market.
Leng Ao was neck and neck with several other male celebrities, and the atmosphere was tense until the very last moment. He only won the qualification to participate by a small margin of a few hundred votes.
Once the guest list was finalized, all guests prepared to depart.
...
On the eve of departure.
Inside the Orange Esports Club.
In the conference room, the aloof coach earnestly lectured Leng Ao: "This time, our company went all out to spend money to buy you a ticket to the dating reality show so that you could enter the entertainment industry after you retire. Our company is also planning to switch from e-sports to the entertainment industry, so you see, we even changed the company name to Fruit overnight."
Leng Ao nodded: "I know."
“No, you don’t know.” The coach sighed, “Your personality is not as aloof as people say online. In real life, you are just like Zhou Sui on the show, a completely normal person with nothing memorable about you. I’m really worried that you won’t become popular.”
Their company is now in the same situation as Jinju back then, it's at its wit's end.
All the other employees in their company had already switched jobs, leaving only Leng Ao.
It's really tough being an esports company these days, and esports players have short careers and high competition pressure, so they want to transform their businesses.
They then went all out to promote Leng Ao alone.
He'll live off his success for three years if he becomes famous, but he'll go bankrupt if he doesn't.
He remained aloof and silent.
He understood, but didn't know what to do.
The coach said, "I've come up with a character for you that suits you very well: aloof and arrogant. But this isn't just ordinary aloofness; it's extreme aloofness! If a cute kitten runs up to you, you kick it away! If the nation's little sister, Chien Chih-chen, tries to be friendly with you, you turn around and walk away! If the director interferes with your actions, you slap him! The main character is ruthless and cold-blooded."
