Ning follows Yu

The production team: "..."

The Alpha's expression was calm, but his words carried such intense aggression.

Even when the staff present watched the footage again, they wondered whether they had misheard. C-could they really air this???

Li Ming had already begun silently praying for Jiang Yumiao. Now that he had attracted the attention of someone so formidable, who knew what lay ahead for him?

The subject of those prayers was currently lying on his stomach in bed, his silky long hair spilling over his shoulders and back, with a few strands slipping onto his pillow. He wore creamy-white cotton pajamas, occasionally lifting and lowering his right lower leg, looking utterly relaxed.

Propping his upper body up on his forearms, he browsed his phone.

Director Yang had assigned them promotional tasks: follow the other guests and repost the show's promotional Weibo post.

Jiang Yumiao opened his Weibo account. His username was "Jiang Yumiao0219," a perfectly ordinary combination of his name and birthday. Surprisingly, he had only made one post: a repost of the official Guest announcement. He had not even added any promotional wording, just the words "Repost this Weibo post."

Clearly, the body's original owner had registered this Weibo account specifically for the dating show.

To Jiang Yumiao's surprise, he had over 100,000 followers, and both his comments and private messages showed 99+ notifications.

He clicked into the comments beneath his sole Weibo post and understood why.

The comments were all calling him "wifey" or complimenting his looks.

Some people shipped him with Ning Chunchi, and a few had even left outrageously explicit remarks. Reading them, Jiang Yumiao suddenly felt the air grow hot.

Jiang Yumiao opened his private messages next and skimmed through them. There were fans praising his looks, mom fans cheering him on, and even career fans offering advice on how to dress and pursue Ning Chunchi.

Of course, some thought he had deliberately made himself ugly early on to generate buzz with a dramatic transformation, while others accused him of riding Ning Chunchi's coattails.

One private message in particular caught Jiang Yumiao's attention.

"You don't seriously think you're good enough for Ning Chunchi, do you? He's going to marry me sooner or later!!!"

Jiang Yumiao burst out laughing. Where had this delusional person come from? The second male lead had brought countless readers to tears with his obsessive nature and loneliness. It really was hard to associate the word "marriage" with him.

After his laughter subsided, Jiang Yumiao remained quite levelheaded as he looked through the varied messages. He knew perfectly well that participating in such a popular dating show meant facing judgment from all sides, and he had long since prepared himself for it.

He had been alone since childhood. He had never been fragile.

Otherwise, he would not have adjusted so quickly after transmigrating, settling into his role and starting his mission.

Besides, given the second male lead's wealth and background, if he truly wanted a lasting relationship with Ning Chunchi, he would have to win over those outrageous relatives in the Ning Family, as well as... the Omegas from wealthy families who liked Ning Chunchi.

Jiang Yumiao let out a long sigh, but his gaze held a quiet determination.

He opened the show's official Weibo account, and the first thing he saw was the task photos the guests had taken at the Water Kingdom that afternoon.

The photo of him and Ning Chunchi lying in each other's arms on the Water Float Bed occupied the very center of the nine-photo grid, the most eye-catching spot.

Jiang Yumiao's pupils contracted. That photo of him and the second male lead looked far too intimate!!!!

It brought back memories of the shoot that afternoon, as well as the temporary marking that had happened afterward...

The Omega visibly turned pink again.

Jiang Yumiao zoomed in on the photo with two fingers and studied it for a while. The longer he looked, the pinker his ears became. Then he quietly saved it.

Yes, I really just think this photo is artistic and aesthetically pleasing. Nothing else.

It definitely isn't because Ning Chunchi looks so incredibly Alpha.

Jiang Yumiao then opened the production team's following list and followed all seven other guests.

He noticed that Ning Chunchi's Weibo account followed absolutely no one.

Just what you'd expect from a domineering CEO. So aloof.

It was already past midnight. If he had not slept so long that afternoon, Jiang Yumiao probably would have gone to bed ages ago. He set his alarm and drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, Jiang Yumiao was awakened by his phone vibrating with a message notification.

It was a WeChat message from Amelia, asking whether he was still coming to get styled that day.

Jiang Yumiao woke up instantly. He hurried to reply, then hastily pulled on his clothes, washed up, and rushed downstairs.

The RV was the same one as yesterday. Amelia smiled as she watched the Omega run inside.

"There's no need to rush. It's only seven. Styling you won't take long. You don't need much makeup anyway; it's mainly your hair."

Jiang Yumiao nodded gratefully. Amelia really was his savior. He felt that all those compliments on Weibo were thanks to her meticulous makeup and styling.

Thinking of the day's schedule, Amelia quietly revealed, "It looks like your activities today will involve water again, so we'll keep things simple."

"Okay, any hairstyle is fine with me! I trust your skills, Amelia."

Amelia had not expected Jiang Yumiao to be such a sweet talker. In her six years in the industry, she had met plenty of haughty celebrities. Someone as good-looking and humble as Jiang Yumiao was genuinely rare.

She immediately felt even more motivated and picked out a pale blue-green jacquard shirt with a stand collar for Jiang Yumiao, making his face look as softly luminous as warm jade.

When Jiang Yumiao returned to the house, he smelled food the moment he stepped through the door.

A young man in a sky-blue sweatshirt was cooking congee. Seeing him enter, he greeted him with a bright smile.

Jiang Yumiao walked over and replied, "Good morning, Lin. Is there anything I can help with?"

In the original novel, although Lin Xu was not much of a cook, the other guests had barely ever set foot in a kitchen. He had therefore volunteered to handle the comparatively simple task of making breakfast, winning the guests' hearts even further.

Who wouldn't love waking up to a beautiful young man cooking congee for them?

Lin Xu said, "Just wait until it's ready, Jiang! I'm almost done. Once the congee finishes cooking, we can eat."

Seeing that, Jiang Yumiao went to sit in the living room and casually opened Weibo.

Yesterday, he had only looked at his own account and the production team's, without checking Trending Searches.

Thanks to its star-studded Guest lineup, this season of Love Mailbox had attracted plenty of attention ever since the official announcement. Now that the livestream had officially begun, it was constantly appearing in Trending Searches.

He had even appeared in several Trending Searches himself.

#Ning Chunchi and Jiang Yumiao write letters to each other#, #Jiang Yumiao takes off his glasses#, #Ning follows Yu Water Float Bed#, #Ning follows Yu flees the livestream#

...He could understand the first two, but "Ning and Jade Together" in the last two couldn't possibly be the ship name for him and the second male lead, could it?!!

All he could say was that people online were truly talented... The names they came up with never disappointed. This ship name actually seemed to fit their current situation quite well.

Although Jiang Yumiao grumbled inwardly, a hint of sweetness unconsciously crept into his eyes.

Seeing that the congee still needed a while, Lin Xu sat down beside Jiang Yumiao and noticed that he was browsing Weibo.

Lin Xu opened his own account too and showed Jiang Yumiao his following list. "Jiang, we're following each other now!"

Jiang Yumiao glanced at it and nodded with a smile.

He checked his own following list as well and discovered that all seven guests had followed him back.

Wait. Seven?

Jiang Yumiao checked again. Qin Yuan and Ning Chunchi, the two he had thought would never follow him back, had actually followed him too!

Lin Xu seemed to notice something. He suddenly leaned over and said in a playful tone, "Jiang! Look at who President Ning follows~"

With trembling fingers, Jiang Yumiao opened Ning Chunchi's Weibo account and discovered that his following count had changed from "0" to "1."
