Yu Xiuyuan rejected Yun Chuan

Had Fang Yi believed what Yu Xiuyuan had just said?

No, I can't lose him yet. I have to keep him on my side first.

Wen Lin forced himself to calm down. Yu Xiuyuan had just said he liked Yun Chuan, but he hadn't admitted it, so there was still room to maneuver.

He steadied his breathing and gazed at Fang Yi with the same tender affection as always, announcing outright, "Correct answer."

He just wanted this segment to end as soon as possible.

Let Fang Yi keep believing he was the one in Wen Lin's heart, while everyone else thought it was Yun Chuan. Everyone would be happy.

Unfortunately, things didn't always go as he hoped.

Fang Yi watched him in silence, then said flatly:

"Correct? Not necessarily."

"The person I meant wasn't Yun Chuan."

You could have heard a pin drop on set.

The live chat fell silent.

A moment later, it exploded.

"Holy shit? That look, that tone-there's drama here!"

"I swear on the watermelon in my hand, there's definitely juicy gossip!"

"This is going to be good. Time to compare receipts."

"Fang Yi and Wen Lin's expressions are so twisted."

"Yu Xiuyuan's too!"

"He's obviously so excited about the drama that he forgot to control his face!!"

"God Yun is on another level. He has zero expression."

Wen Lin suddenly lost his voice, unable to put a sentence together.

Feigning shyness, he said, "Fang Yi, you know saying things like that makes me shy. Anyway, your answer was right."

Fang Yi looked at him without pressing the issue.

He merely said in a low voice, "Forget it. Count me as having answered two questions correctly. Director, let's move on." With that, he stopped looking at Wen Lin.

Wen Lin froze.

What does he mean, forget it? Doesn't he believe me anymore?

Then what about those resources?

He stopped believing me just because Yu Xiuyuan made one random comment? Is his love really that shallow?

Yu Xiuyuan couldn't share in Wen Lin's anger and devastation. He was thoroughly enjoying the show.

It's only my second day here, and I've already gotten rid of the bottom protagonist's "invincible support package"? Was it really that easy?

I've barely made a move. I haven't even used my ultimate yet!

The director scratched his thinning hair, smiled in satisfaction at another surge in live viewers, and cheerfully continued the proceedings:

"Next, let's have our award-winning actress Lin reveal her answers!"

Lin Qingnuan turned her answer board around. Sure enough, her answers were all about Yun Chuan too.

The first two held no surprises, but her answer to the third was, "Yun Chuan loves drinking sweet strawberry yogurt!"

Once everyone had read the answer, they turned toward Yun Chuan.

Dressed entirely in black, he sat there in silence, composed and imposing.

What a contrast! The award-winning actor drinking strawberry yogurt would look kind of cute~

"Incorrect."

The image had barely formed in their minds before Yun Chuan's cold, deep voice shattered it.

"Ms. Lin, you saw that on set, didn't you?"

Yun Chuan looked off into the distance, trying to find the right words. "Let's just call it a prank by a family member. I don't personally like it."

Lin Qingnuan smiled, meeting his eyes as she replied gently, "Oh, I see. Your family sounds rather adorable. I saw you taking the yogurt back to your room that day and thought you liked it."

There wasn't a trace of embarrassment on her face at being corrected. She truly was an award-winning actress.

Su Ziming was next. He had been fairly quiet all along and hadn't said much.

He turned his answer board around and explained to the camera with a soft chuckle, "I'm not very good at making friends, so I haven't learned everyone's birthdays yet. Luckily, I'd read God Yun's online profile before, so I managed to score two breakfast items."

His performance was perfectly ordinary, with no juicy gossip to offer, so everyone turned their attention to the last two beauties.

Sure enough, beauties always seemed to gravitate toward one another. Lin Xi and Li Rou had filled in each other's information, but since they had only just met, they didn't know any little secrets yet and had only answered the first two questions correctly.

Everyone picked out their breakfast. Yu Xiuyuan returned to his "exclusive seat" and quickly lost himself in the food, eating with his head practically buried in his bowl.

This body couldn't even lift a suitcase. He really needed to build it up.

Wen Lin took his food and sat beside Fang Yi, unable to taste a thing.

While choosing breakfast just now, Fang Yi had only looked after himself and hadn't even asked what Wen Lin wanted. That would have been almost unthinkable before.

Yun Chuan drank his congee with his head lowered, quiet and elegant, though his gaze occasionally swept coldly toward the corner. A faint chill hung around him.

The others inexplicably found the atmosphere a little strange and unconsciously quieted down too.

Watching the silent set, the director nearly tore his hair out.

How had his carefully prepared little flirting game ended up killing the mood?

No, he had to give them something to talk about. The livestream was already losing viewers.

After breakfast, the director stepped forward to announce the next segment.

Each guest would draw a ball. Anyone who drew a red ball would have to anonymously devise a full-day date plan and give it a name.

Those who drew blue balls could choose which date they wanted to join based on the plans' names.

Sprawled on the sofa, Yu Xiuyuan thought that things had diverged from the original novel again.

In the original novel, the production team arranged the dates that day, and the guests drew lots to pair up directly. The original owner of his body had been paired with the award-winning actor Yun Chuan, instantly sending buzz about the show through the roof.

He had been worrying about how to rig the draw and swap his lot to avoid Yun Chuan. Now, it seemed he wouldn't need to.

The director brought out the prop box, and everyone drew in turn. The red balls went to Yu Xiuyuan, Fang Yi, Su Ziming, and Lin Qingnuan.

Looking at his red ball, Yu Xiuyuan raised an eyebrow and grinned smugly.

Since he got to decide what they did on the date, not slacking off would be a waste of his good luck. What overworked employee didn't want to slack off on the clock?

The director stared at the large words "Lazy Fish Wellness Tour" and fell silent. Was this supposed to be some brilliant suggestion? What was he so smug about?

After handing their date plans to the director, the four of them sat on the sofa and waited to be chosen.

Wen Lin looked over the four date options-"Lazy Fish Wellness Tour," "Art Tour," "Active Sports," and "Quiet Recharge Day"-and nodded.

This was easy to guess. Fang Yi liked sports, so Active Sports should be his. The priority now was to win him back.

Afraid someone else would choose it first, Wen Lin stepped forward, winked playfully, and told everyone, "I'm really interested in Active Sports. Don't fight me for it, okay?"

Lin Xi, who had been quiet all along, blinked, noticing his eagerness.

Once, backstage at an event, she had seen Wen Lin acting coy with Fang Yi and sweet-talking him.

Thinking back to the scene just now, she realized that "Active Sports" must be Fang Yi's.

Wen Lin, the pure, resilient little bunny everyone talks about. Looks like the rumors aren't reliable. Interesting.

Yu Xiuyuan is interesting too. Are the rumors about him unreliable as well?

But what did that have to do with her? She gave Wen Lin an amused smile and said, "I'm really interested in Quiet Recharge Day."

Following Lin Xi's lead, Li Rou also smiled gently at Wen Lin. "I'm not interested in sports at all. 'Lazy Fish Wellness Tour,' on the other hand, sounds pretty nice. It seems really relaxing. I'll choose that."

"I'm interested in 'Lazy Fish Wellness Tour' too. May I compete for it?"

Yun Chuan's deep voice came in right over the end of Li Rou's sentence. It seemed he really was interested.
