• Lin Li discovered he could not register as a Meituan rider because he was seventeen, and his attempts to count review moderation as Escort Agency tasks left the task progress at zero.

• Lin Li watched the show beside Chen Yuying, occasionally chatting with her, while Ding Sihan moved aside to watch makeup tutorials.

On the bus, Lin Li finished watching a variety show before asking Chen Yuying if he could try doing his own makeup. As the girls began practicing makeup and joked about Chen Yuying’s wealth, she again remembered to call Lin Li a “good pervert.”
