Who Have You Provoked This Time?

Then Xue Ruyin's fans were the first to start hurling insults.

[Selfish jerk! Our Yin Yin kindly reminded her that it would be better to wait and eat together. What right does she have to accuse our Yin Yin of putting on a show?!]

[That's what people with no manners or upbringing are like. No wonder the entire Chinese entertainment industry hates her.]

[Uh, I don't think Su Tangtang said anything wrong. Chen Sinian and Qi Zhaoyi both told them to eat first. Besides, she cooked it herself. Why can't she eat whenever she wants? What's with the guilt-tripping?]

[Well, let me say something too. Don't drag the entire industry into this. I think our Ruzhi gets along pretty well with her. We don't hate her yet.]

[Wow, you're really generous. She's already stealing Chen Sinian from your Ruzhi, and you're still defending her. When she actually starts riding his coattails, go cry about it!]

[First, I'm a Chen Sinian fan. Second, our Chen Sinian doesn't belong to anyone. He's just himself, thank you!]

The live chat was already fighting first thing in the morning, which naturally delighted the production team.

Arguments meant buzz, after all.

Their greatest fear was that nobody would even bother arguing.

Du Lanxi was happy too. Someone in the live chat was finally willing to speak up for Su Tangtang. It looked like the trending topic she had paid for yesterday hadn't been a waste!

Only when Su Tangtang had finished eating and gone to wash her bowl did Chen Sinian and Qi Zhaoyi come downstairs.

The others gradually came down too.

"Tangtang, have you finished eating?" An Ruzhi bounded down the stairs and greeted her first.

Su Tangtang nodded.

Then she saw Qiao Yufan, sporting two huge dark circles, glare at her. Hmph!

Su Tangtang: "!"

Holy crap, where did this giant panda come from?!

Qiao Yufan: "..."

It's all thanks to you!

Thinking of the torment he had endured last night, he glared at Su Tangtang again. This time, he even snorted aloud. "Hmph!"

Su Tangtang: "?"

What's wrong with him this early in the morning?

Whatever. I've just eaten and I'm in a good mood. I won't bother with this idiot.

She went over to the sofa to play on her phone.

Qiao Yufan: "..."

He went to eat breakfast with everyone else.

When Qi Zhaoyi saw Xue Ruyin coming over with a bowl too, he asked in puzzlement, "You haven't eaten yet?"

Xue Ruyin smiled and nodded. "I wanted to wait for you."

"Oh." Qi Zhaoyi acknowledged her, then added, "You didn't need to wait. You were here, so you could've eaten first. It won't taste as good once it gets cold. We had to shower, so we couldn't help it."

The smile on Xue Ruyin's face instantly stiffened. She had been so happy when he brought it up; now she wished just as fervently that he had never opened his mouth.

Seeing Liao Xuliang come over, she stopped paying attention to Qi Zhaoyi and handed him the bowl of boiled dumplings she was holding.

Liao Xuliang was used to women fussing over him. He took it without saying a word.

A dozen or so seconds passed before he seemed to remember something. He set the dumplings on the dining table, fetched a pair of chopsticks, and invited Xue Ruyin over to eat. "I can serve myself."

Xue Ruyin's face, which had just darkened, instantly brightened again. She walked over with a faint smile.

[Ruzhi and Xuliang are still so sweet /heart/]

[I declare these two locked together. I swallowed the key!]

Once their simple meal was over, the production team handed them a mission card.

They took it and gathered around to read it.

The mission card told them to begin their first date of the day.

There were four destinations: the Amusement Park, the Horse-Riding Park, the Ski Resort, and the Zoo.

Each person was to choose one to visit.

Putting down the mission card, everyone exchanged glances, seemingly considering where to go.

Qiao Yufan directly asked Xu Yuntong, "Which one are you choosing?"

Xu Yuntong hadn't expected him to be so direct and immediately grew bashful.

[Aaaaaah, Qiao Yufan, you're really that direct?!]

[I don't care, I'm shipping these two already! Being direct is the best!!!]

Everyone there laughed and turned to look at Xu Yuntong.

She was smiling too. Afterward, she answered seriously, "I want to go to the Zoo."

Qiao Yufan nodded.

As for the other six, none of them said anything else.

Back in her room, Su Tangtang had packed a few essentials into her bag and was getting ready to leave when she suddenly received a call.

Seeing the contact name "Brother Mu Qing," she felt a wave of disgust. She hung up, deleted the contact name, and swiftly blocked the number.

The whole sequence was smooth and effortless.

But as she started walking out again, another call came in. This time, it was an unsaved number.

Thinking it was probably that same idiot calling, she declined it and blocked the number again.

After this happened several more times, her blocklist had gained a full six phone numbers.

She waited a little while, and only when no more calls came in did she leave. Because of this delay, she was the last of the eight guests remaining.

She got into the car provided by their generous sponsor, told the driver her destination, and started browsing her phone.

Naturally, the first thing she opened was Weibo.

Ever since the Dating Reality Show premiered yesterday, its popularity had only kept growing.

First, there was the big star Chen Sinian. His fans might not have been as fierce in the live chat as Xue Ruyin's, but there were so many of them. If each posted just once on Weibo with his hashtag, they could send him straight onto the trending list.

Then there was Xiao Ziyao withdrawing on the very first day, along with Qi Zhaoyi's sudden arrival.

Sure enough, topics about those three still occupied the top three spots on the Entertainment Rankings.

Probably because the online speculation had gotten out of hand, the Xiao Ziyao Studio had also issued a response. It said an urgent family matter had suddenly arisen, forcing him to leave, and asked everyone not to focus too much on him, but on the show itself and his music instead.

Oh, it also mentioned her, Su Tangtang. It said his withdrawal had nothing to do with her and was entirely for personal reasons. Although he hadn't yet received the letter she had left him last night, he already knew what it said and would return her five hundred yuan.

Su Tangtang: "?!"

Dude, you're being this cooperative?!

Doesn't that deserve a like?

Only after liking it did she seem to remember Du Lanxi's instructions. She was just about to undo it when Du Lanxi's call came in.

( ;｀ヘ´)

Seriously? Is she watching that closely? I only just liked it, and she's already calling?

Su Tangtang answered with a radiant smile. "Lanxi, did you need something?"

"What's going on with you?" were Du Lanxi's first words.

Su Tangtang thought, Here we go again. In one ear and out the other.

"Your dream guy has even called me?"

Su Tangtang hurriedly said, "I know I was wrong, Lanxi. I won't randomly like..." Posts.

"Huh? Lanxi, what did you just say?"

Du Lanxi paused at her words too. Especially with this girl admitting her mistake so readily, she wondered whether she had called the wrong person. She even pulled the phone away from her ear to check the contact name.

She hadn't called the wrong person, so she asked, "Who have you provoked this time?"
