Even Liao Xuliang, whose expression was still grim, unconsciously turned his gaze toward Su Tangtang, waiting for her to continue.
She had already exposed all his private affairs. It wasn't too much to ask to hear someone else's now, was it?
Seeing everyone act this way, Xue Ruyin involuntarily tightened her grip. After shooting Su Tangtang an icy glance, she immediately turned to the director, hoping he would remember what he had told her just before the show began: she would be the first female guest to introduce herself.
[Wait, the director's letting Su Tangtang introduce herself first? What gives her the right?]
[Don't tell me she doesn't have connections. I wouldn't believe it.]
[The director's in his thirties and has a wife and kids, doesn't he? Would Su Tangtang really knowingly become his mistress?]
[Why wouldn't she? Look how many people she's used for clout.]
However, the director didn't notice Xue Ruyin looking his way. All he could think about now was stopping Su Tangtang from spilling his secrets.
After all, so many people were watching. How would he maintain his authority as a director after this?
"Su Tangtang!" This time, when he called her name more forcefully, Su Tangtang, who hadn't finished devouring the gossip, finally reacted. She turned toward him blankly. "Huh?"
[Beer Belly's calling me?]
[What's he want? I only slacked off for a minute, and he already caught me?]
( ´◔ ‸◔`)
[Seriously, I'm just some obscure, bottom-tier celebrity. Why's he watching me so closely? Go watch the great award-winning actor Chen Sinian!]
The director: "..."
Chen Sinian: "..."
The two exchanged an awkward glance before the director spoke again. "Su Tangtang, introduce yourself to everyone here and our viewers."
"Oh, okay." Su Tangtang didn't think much of it. Right now, she was just playing the obedient one, doing whatever the guests and director said. Looking into the camera in front of her, she waved at everyone with a radiant smile. "Hello, everyone. I'm Su Tangtang. Su as in Gusu, and Tang as in the Chinese word for begonia."
|ω･)و ༉
[Barf. The director was just being polite by asking her to introduce herself first, and she actually went ahead and did it on camera??]
[Exactly. Even setting our Yinyin aside, aren't both Zhizhi and Yuntong better than her? Why does she get to introduce herself first?]
[Hey, stop dragging other people into this, okay? Our Zhizhi seems to be getting along pretty well with her so far. They're even linking arms. Just leave our Zhizhi out of it.]
[/facepalm/ Fighting over the order of introductions, too. That's Chinese showbiz for you.]
[Did anyone else notice that Xue Ruyin's expression seemed to freeze for a second when Su Tangtang spoke?]
[Noticed it too. All I can say is, like idol, like fans.]
Xue Ruyin's expression had indeed frozen for a moment. Only after Su Tangtang finished introducing herself and the main livestream camera switched to her did she recover and give the camera a slight smile.
The director seemed to finally remember their agreement. He hurriedly cleared his throat and asked her to introduce herself as well.
She kept looking into the camera, putting on a smile she considered graceful and attractive, and began slowly. "Hello, everyone. I'm Xue Ruyin."
"I'm an actress. I've played the female lead in the modern romance dramas Heartbeat and Gentle Fall, as well as the historical romance drama Pride and Glory."
"I'm delighted to meet everyone here today. Both Lin Qing and Xu Xing, the characters I've played, had beautiful love stories that anyone would envy. I've always looked forward to my own love story, too, which is why I joined this Dating Reality Show. I hope to meet someone who shares my interests, someone I can fall in love with, marry, and spend the rest of my life with."
[Aaaaaah, go, Yinyin, go! You'll definitely find your own beautiful love story, just like Lin Qing and Xu Xing!]
[After seeing your interaction with Liao Xuliang just now, I wonder if he's the one who's caught your eye. Though I'd still prefer you with Chen Sinian, I'll support whatever decision you make!]
[Leave Chen Sinian out of this, thanks. Our guy hasn't interacted with your idol at all!]
[LMAO. Do you seriously think Xue Ruyin's so perfect that all the male guests are hers to pick from?]
After Xue Ruyin finished her introduction, she nodded and smiled at everyone to indicate she was done. Only then did An Ruzhi and Xu Yuntong take their turns. They each offered to let the other go first, but in the end, An Ruzhi spoke first. After all, she had entered the industry before Xu Yuntong, so it was only right for her to introduce herself first.
"Hello, everyone. I'm An Ruzhi, the female lead in the upcoming drama The Eldest Princess. I'm delighted to meet everyone here."
Since this was a Dating Reality Show, she couldn't simply leave it at that. She also talked a little about herself, hoping to help the male guests get to know her better. "I don't have many hobbies. I like shopping, especially buying bags. As the saying goes, a bag cures all ills. There's nothing a handbag can't fix. And if one won't do, just buy a few more!"
"Once I have a boyfriend, I'd love to buy him lots of bags, too."
[Aaaaaah, Zhizhi, wait for me! I'm going to reincarnate as a man right now!]
[I heard Chen Sinian's actually Zhizhi's idol. Go, Zhizhi, go! Let's win him over and buy him bags!]
[Then shall I start shipping these two?]
Once An Ruzhi finished speaking, Xu Yuntong was about to begin, but Su Tangtang, who was scrambling to keep up with all the gossip, spoke first: [Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!]
[She actually meant every word!]
[Could she please have a lapse in judgment and fall for me? I'm so tired of this life of not being a billionaire. Sob, sob, sob~~~]
Hearing this, An Ruzhi immediately studied Su Tangtang seriously. The rumors online hadn't been wrong at all. She really was gorgeous. Her face was no bigger than a palm, and every feature was exquisite. Her eyes stood out most of all, as though they could steal someone's soul. No wonder so many male celebrities couldn't take their eyes off her.
Actually, it... it wasn't out of the question.
The moment that thought popped into her head, An Ruzhi blushed and hurriedly looked away. Her long, curled lashes fluttered, and she didn't dare look at Su Tangtang again.
As for the others, the corners of their mouths twitched slightly after hearing Su Tangtang's thoughts. It's not just you. We're all tired of not being billionaires!
Xu Yuntong reacted the same way as everyone else, but she recovered quickly. A moment later, she looked into the camera and spoke at the right moment. "Hello, everyone. I'm Xu Yuntong, and I played the second female lead in the drama Burning Obsession. I'm also delighted to meet everyone here. In my spare time, I like growing flowers and plants, and I hope to find someone who shares my hobby."
[Yes, yes, yes! Yuntong, Yuntong, watch you soar!]
[I heard Yuntong's a top student who scored over six hundred on the college entrance exam. Is that true?]
