Su Mian answered the call.
Fang Nuonuo of the video call was crying her eyes out.
" Teacher Su, I'm sorry, I was out all day and didn't go online at all, so I have no idea about these things online."
"Because my main and alternate accounts were handed over to my assistant a long time ago, those posts online were all posted by my assistant."
"I had no idea, I'm so sorry, so sorry..."
Su Mian pinched her nose, looking disgusted. "Did you finish the probiotics I gave you last time? Your breath smells bad."
Fang Nuonuo: "..."
She hung up.
Su Mian continued eating.
Unexpectedly, Fang Nuonuo immediately posted the video of her apology online.
Of course, the part where Su Mian confronts her is not included.
Fang Nuonuo: [I've already apologized to Teacher Su. I haven't been managing my account myself for a long time. I only got it back after this happened. I will never give my account to anyone else again! (Apology video)]
[A sincere apology, it's good that you know your mistake and can correct it! [Thumbs up]]
[You're so sincere, Su Mian will definitely forgive you!]
[This isn't your fault. It's just that your assistant couldn't stand seeing you being bullied all the time, so she stood up for you!]
Really? I don't believe it.
[Why did you only release a video of yourself crying and apologizing, but not a video of Sister Mian "It's okay"? It's her who hasn't forgiven you, but you and your fans are just forgiving yourself on her behalf?]
[You even put on beautiful crying makeup, while Sister Mian in the video is eating barbecue with her mouth all greasy, clearly unprepared. Aren't you just trying to put others down in terms of appearance?]
[What a cheap trick! This tea smell is really overpowering!]
After finishing her meal, Su Mian returned home and lay down on her bed.
Seeing these discussions online seems normal.
Every public figure has a number of fans who choose to believe in them no matter how things go wrong.
The program team sent out the route for visiting the guests in their group chat.
Our first stop tomorrow is Gu Yichen's house.
Su Mian was genuinely quite curious about him.
I'm also curious to know if he will fall in love with Fang Nuonuo in this version of the story.
She asked the system to bring up the original plot so she could watch it again carefully.
80% of this post consists of various forms of humiliation towards the original poster.
She was so tormented that she quit after the first episode, and then her fate was briefly explained.
"After Su Mian withdrew, she disappeared without a trace. Several months later, people found her body and her suicide note..."
The final paragraph explains the fates of the other participants on the show.
All the male guests confessed their feelings to Fang Nuonuo.
Gu Yichen's confession was. "Thank you for supporting my dreams. If it weren't for you, I would never have dared to defy my mother, nor would I have dared to do what I truly wanted to do."
After a touching speech, Fang Nuonuo ultimately chose not to hold his hand.
She only sees this dating reality show as a stepping stone in her career and has no intention of dating anyone.
After carefully reading this passage, Su Mian suddenly understood.
The key reason he fell in love with Fang Nuonuo was that she healed the trauma of his family of origin and helped him resist it.
But... what is it that Gu Yichen really wants to do?
Coming from a family of doctors, did he not want to be a doctor?
Moreover, Gu Yuanqiu doesn't seem like the type of mother who is very domineering or controlling.
If that's the case, how could the daughter of a prominent medical institution be so easily manipulated by her son-in-law?
How about hanging him up and beating him?
Many mysteries remain unsolved.
Su Mian was filled with anticipation for tomorrow's intelligence gathering.
-
Early the next morning.
All the guests rushed to the recording site.
Duan Xuanyu initially thought it was nothing, just a chance to broaden his horizons.
But seeing how excited and expectant Su Mian was early in the morning... he became unhappy.
What's going on? Is she really interested in Gu Yichen?
Duan Xuanyu was in a bad mood throughout the journey.
Soon, everyone gathered at Gu Yichen's house.
Upon entering the courtyard gate, you are greeted by a very large musical fountain, but it was not operating.
As soon as Duan Xuanyu entered, he immediately began to nitpick at the host. "Why aren't you turning on the fountain? Aren't you welcoming us?"
Su Mian poked him with her finger. "Look at me."
Duan Xuanyu turned around.
Su Mian took a sip of mineral water.
Head held high.
Spit water!
puff--
Here comes the musical fountain he wanted to see.
Duan Xuanyu: "..."
[For a moment, it was unclear whether she wanted to pamper the Tyrant Bro or protect Teacher Gu...]
[Given Sister Mian's mental state, she probably just wants to put on a show.]
[Ahhh, I've saved this! Those of you who don't have any special talents when visiting relatives during Chinese New Year are in luck—you can perform this musical fountain for them!]
[No, I have big gaps between my teeth, so my spray will look like a showerhead, not as elegant as Mianmian cosplay.]
After watching the musical fountain, everyone continued walking inside.
The living room features gold and dark brown tones, exuding luxury.
The wall is adorned with genuine abstract art... the kind of true abstraction with geometric lines, not fake abstraction.
Upstairs are a study, bedroom, and gym, with the study filled with medical books.
He also has a private medical laboratory containing medical equipment and chemicals, so it seems he does research at home as well.
After he finished showing everyone around, he agreed that everyone could visit freely.
He had already locked the area where entry was prohibited.
Finally, we've arrived at the part Su Mian was most looking forward to.
Based on her experience reading mystery novels, she now suspects that Gu Yichen is doing some kind of dark research, which his mother forbids, causing friction between mother and son and bringing trauma to his family of origin.
So she focused her attention on his laboratory.
Duan Xuanyu naturally followed her in.
However, after looking around, I didn't find anything suspicious.
She couldn't easily touch the doctor's things.
With the program broadcasting live, the intelligence gathering was severely hampered.
She was planning to leave.
Just as I reached the door, I suddenly heard the sound of a glass bottle shattering.
Then a sweet and pungent aroma wafted over...
It's ether!
Highly volatile anesthetics can cause central nervous system depression when inhaled through the respiratory tract; excessive inhalation can lead to loss of consciousness!
Su Mian subconsciously held her breath and turned around to tell Duan Xuanyu.
He hasn't learned about this stuff; if he inhales it, it'll be disastrous.
But it was too late!
Duan Xuanyu rested one hand on the table, his gaze somewhat unfocused, looking at her helplessly, as if he didn't know why he suddenly felt dizzy and weak.
His originally cold and stern face now held a hint of brokenness and poignant beauty.
[I just saw a recommendation outside the live stream saying that the Emperor-Empress CP were using a honey trap... I excitedly clicked in to find out that the Tyrant Bro is the beauty Mianmian is the king?]
[Aaaaaah, the Northern Liang Succubus!]
[A recent card game featuring ancient heroes added him, and his charm stat was set even higher than Diao Chan's. The game planner was criticized at the time, but now it makes sense!]
Su Mian quickly opened the door to ventilate the area.
Ether diffuses quickly, and the concentration in the room isn't high; letting him get some cool air will do the trick.
In fact, Su Mian had experienced similar plots twice.
The last time was in ancient times, when he was a hostage in an enemy country.
Even more sensual and breathtaking than this time.
