#Explosive Gossip About a Model Couple#

The focus shifted from Li Fan'er and Zhao Xizhou to He Jinyuan and Chu Xiyue.

Chu Xiyue's attention never left Li Fan'er and Zhao Xizhou. She nodded perfunctorily. "I ate already."

He Jinyuan's gaze fell on Chu Xiyue's cool, delicate profile, and his heart stirred slightly. He continued asking, "Then what does Junior Sister like to eat?"

"Eating melons." Chu Xiyue answered without thinking.

He Jinyuan:?

Chu Xiyue came back to her senses, coughed twice, and patched things up. "I mean watermelon. It's so hot—I want some chilled watermelon."

He Jinyuan chuckled softly and told Chu Xiyue in a magnetic voice, "Since Junior Sister wants chilled watermelon, I'll get one for you no matter what."

It was as if Chu Xiyue had been eating when a mouthful of lard suddenly clogged her throat—greasy and nauseating. Her whole body shuddered. She turned to look at He Jinyuan, her expression impossible to describe, and said to the system, "Who would've thought He Jinyuan was one of those cutesy guys?"

And he wasn't even good at it.

The system nodded in agreement. It connected to the internet and scanned the comments, hoping to find more kindred spirits.

But perhaps beauty was in the eye of the beholder. He Jinyuan's fans clearly didn't see it that way.

[Ahhh, Yuanbao's bubble voice is so dreamy!]

[Who gets it, family? I was listening to Yuanbao with headphones just now, and my mom asked why my ears were red!]

[Chu Xiyue must've accumulated blessings over eight lifetimes to be treated so gently by Yuanbao in this one! I want to transmigrate into Chu Xiyue so badly!]

Chu Xiyue didn't see the comments. Otherwise, she definitely would have retorted: she must have committed sins for eight lifetimes to encounter such a greasy creature in this one.

He Jinyuan didn't notice Chu Xiyue's subtle expression. He turned toward the camera and gave it a wink, then looked at the director hidden among the staff and continued in that affected tone, "Director, Junior Sister wants watermelon. Could you give me a chilled watermelon?"

It had to be said that He Jinyuan had some variety-show instincts. The director glanced at the comments, which had already been taken over by He Jinyuan's fans.

[Ahhh, Yuanbao's wink is so gorgeous!]

[So dreamy! My ears are going to get pregnant!]

He Jinyuan was brimming with confidence. He felt the director wouldn't refuse such a small request.

Until—

"I was going to announce this later, but now works just as well." The director opened the folder in his hand, glanced down at it, and said, "Guests, welcome to The One She Loves Most. Next, I'll announce the rules."

"First, before filming begins, all guests must hand their phones over to the production team for temporary storage;"

"Second, all supplies needed during filming must be exchanged by completing tasks. Remember: all supplies."

"Third, food delivery is not allowed during filming. We're treating you to this meal today."

"Fourth, The One She Loves Most production team reserves the right of final interpretation."

The director closed the folder as the assistant director wheeled over a blackboard. The director pointed to one section of it. "For every basic task completed, you may exchange it for one type of fruit."

The production team's tasks were divided into basic tasks, advanced tasks, difficult tasks, and hell-level tasks. Aside from the basic tasks, all the others required two people to complete them together.

Chu Xiyue also glanced over the basic tasks on the blackboard, then looked at He Jinyuan. At the same time as the system, she let out, "[Well, this...]"

The board read: 100 frog jumps, 200 standing jump-rope jumps, 200 high knees, 200 squats... At a glance, they were all exercise-related.

Chu Xiyue hesitated. "Is the production team trying to kill He Jinyuan?"

These tasks didn't seem very friendly to someone with a busted ass. If He Jinyuan did them, wouldn't he bleed heavily and end up in the hospital?

He Jinyuan looked at the tasks on the blackboard, his expression somewhat grave. The doctor had said that before his wound healed, he should rest for half a month. He shouldn't sit or stand for long periods, nor engage in strenuous exercise.

But they were livestreaming. He had just said on camera that he would get Chu Xiyue a watermelon. If he shirked these seemingly simple tasks in front of the cameras, failing to follow through on his own words would be like handing dirt on himself straight to his rivals.

But compared with the risks of his image collapsing and his popularity slipping, what was the pain of his wound splitting open?

He Jinyuan made his decision in an instant. He warmed up on the spot and said to the production team, "I work out every day. Get that watermelon ready!"

Chu Xiyue sucked in a breath, her gaze at He Jinyuan carrying a trace of admiration. No wonder he was the kind of badass who could open a supermarket—no, a total savage! He was still going into battle while injured!

Afraid something might go wrong, Chu Xiyue hurriedly tried to stop him. "Forget it. I'm not really in the mood for fruit right now."

He Jinyuan had finally made up his mind. Besides, he knew that if he completed the task and got a watermelon from the director, the first big highlight of the show would belong to him!

The One She Loves Most was a variety show with S-tier investment. It had not even officially premiered yet, but its livestream already had over a million real-time viewers. It was a hit before it even aired.

If he could get more screen time on this show and gain more fans, his future opportunities would improve as well.

With that in mind, He Jinyuan told Chu Xiyue, "Don't worry, Junior Sister. If I promise you something, I'll definitely do it!"

He Jinyuan's fans were rather proud.

[Yuanbao is extremely strict about managing his physique. He runs three kilometers every day and does an hour of cardio. His image management is always on point. Sisters, you won't regret investing in Yuanbao~]

[There aren't many male celebrities in the domestic entertainment industry as demanding of themselves as our Yuanbao. Everyone, welcome to the River Fans family!]

The camera focused on He Jinyuan as he warmed up. He lowered his eyes and revealed a satisfied smile. No one noticed Chu Xiyue in the corner, looking surprised yet hesitant to speak.

In the end, she said earnestly, "Be careful."
