Chu Xiyue looked He Jinyuan up and down, then shook her head. Clearly, she did not agree with him, but she did not intend to say anything more.
The vehicle went over another speed bump. A bus's shock absorption was definitely no match for a high-end RV's, and the driver might have driven public buses before. He drove with wild abandon, never slowing down even for speed bumps.
He Jinyuan's face turned slightly pale, and his smile became more strained.
The system shook its head. [Tsk, tsk, tsk. He Jinyuan's injury down there hasn't healed yet, and now the road is so bumpy. It's truly one misfortune after another, adding injury to injury. He can't sit or stand comfortably, yet he doesn't dare show the slightest abnormality.]
Chu Xiyue admired him even more. "He can really endure it. As expected, men who run supermarkets are naturally gifted!"
Meanwhile, outside the camera's view, fans who scrutinized He Jinyuan with magnifying glasses at all times noticed his expression and were extremely displeased.
[Is Chu Xiyue trying to sell a blunt-and-honest persona? She speaks without thinking. Every single hair on our Yuanbao is perfect—how could he possibly have hemorrhoids!]
[Exactly. Yuanbao hasn't even held a girl's hand before, yet she started talking about hemorrhoids and perianal diseases right away. Does she think she's funny? Yuanbao was so embarrassed his face turned red. The fact that he didn't give her a dirty look on the spot already showed incredible gentlemanly manners.]
[I feel bad for Yuanbao. With a partner like this, she not only clings to him desperately and buys promotional posts to hype up a CP with him, but her emotional intelligence is also rock-bottom. Does she really think what she said is
funny
!?]
Amid the noisy barrage of comments, He Jinyuan's restless discomfort, and Chu Xiyue and the system's lingering interest, the vehicle arrived at their destination—a seaside villa.
He Jinyuan quietly breathed a sigh of relief and got out of the vehicle with a composed expression.
"The One She Loves Most" was an S-tier married-couple romance reality show planned by Apple TV. The production team had invited ten guests: three real married couples and two trainee couples.
Chu Xiyue and He Jinyuan were one of the trainee couples.
Chu Xiyue and He Jinyuan entered the villa. Since the guests had different schedules, they were the first to arrive.
The villa's rooms had already been assigned, so there would be no room-grabbing like on typical variety shows. Chu Xiyue's room was on the third floor, while He Jinyuan's was on the first.
He Jinyuan carried his own suitcase and did not forget to turn back to Chu Xiyue. "Junior, there isn't an elevator in this villa. Let me carry your suitcase upstairs for you."
Chu Xiyue glanced at He Jinyuan, and the system's words, "wine bottle," suddenly surfaced in her mind. "—Beep beep—"
Without changing her expression, Chu Xiyue tightened her grip on her suitcase and decisively refused him. "No need."
After saying that, she hauled her suitcase up to the third floor in one breath. He Jinyuan stood there dumbfounded for quite a while before telling the camera, "Junior is really strong."
Chu Xiyue put her luggage in her room and rested for a while. Then, suddenly, her stomach growled twice.
Only then did Chu Xiyue remember that she had been busy all morning. It was nearly noon, and she had not eaten anything yet. Rubbing her stomach, she headed downstairs to find something to eat.
But just as she reached the staircase, she suddenly heard a girl's voice, dripping with sarcastic mockery and heavy with hostility.
"Teacher Zhao is so delicate and precious. We won't trouble you with this luggage, lest you hurt those noble hands of yours."
The man smiled. "Teacher Li, you're too kind."
"Who was praising you?!" The woman sounded displeased. "Your skin is really thick!"
For a moment, Chu Xiyue could neither go up nor down.
But in the end, the hunger in her stomach overcame her rationality. She coughed heavily twice before walking downstairs.
She discovered that the two people downstairs were the show's other trainee couple.
Chu Xiyue had looked up information beforehand and knew that they were the other trainee couple on the show. The girl was Li Fan'er, a new member of a famous domestic girl group. The man beside her was her partner, Zhao Xizhou, a second-tier actor who had played the male lead in several low-budget web dramas and had considerable popularity.
When she searched for information about them online, she had also seen rumors that the two did not get along.
Now, it seemed those were not merely rumors.
Chu Xiyue's arrival slightly eased the subtle atmosphere between them.
After they greeted one another, Chu Xiyue noticed that Li Fan'er did not look very pleased. Though she stood beside Zhao Xizhou, her gaze had never once landed on him. There was an inexplicable smell of gunpowder in the air.
The two of them really did not get along.
The livestream viewers were not blind, of course, and they could naturally see the subtle atmosphere between Li Fan'er and Zhao Xizhou.
[Looks like the rumors are true. There really is conflict between Li Fan'er and Zhao Xizhou. If Chu Xiyue hadn't come out just now, they probably would have started fighting.]
[I heard they became enemies on some flop variety show. Li Fan'er said Zhao Xizhou danced like a disabled person doing rehabilitation, while Zhao Xizhou insinuated that Li Fan'er's acting was like a blind person's. They've held a grudge ever since. Whenever one of them appears somewhere, the other definitely won't.]
[Which genius came up with this plan? They actually invited Li Fan'er and Zhao Xizhou onto the same show, and it's a damn romance show at that. Rumors about their feud are everywhere. Even someone like me who isn't in fandom knows about it.]
[The director must have saved Li Fan'er and Zhao Xizhou's lives, or I can't think of any reason these two would appear on the same show.]
[Fight! Fight!]
Chu Xiyue passed them and took a boxed meal from the production team, intending to fill her stomach.
[Eh? I found some gossip about Li Fan'er and Zhao Xizhou. Host, do you want to hear it?] the system asked.
Chu Xiyue's eyes lit up. She really had come to the right variety show. In just one morning, she'd already found two juicy bits of gossip!
"What gossip? What gossip? Hurry up and tell me! I happen to need some digital side dishes with my meal."
#The Archenemies Turned Out to Be Former Lovers#
The system eagerly spilled the gossip. [It's true that Li Fan'er and Zhao Xizhou don't get along, but not because they became enemies on a variety show as the rumors say. Before they debuted, they were boyfriend and girlfriend. They later broke up for certain reasons, and the breakup was not very pleasant, so every time they met afterward, things were somewhat unpleasant.]
