Chapter 6

It was Cen Yueyue's turn. Cen Yueyue said,"Hello everyone, I'm Cen Yueyue."

And that was it.

[What an annoying person, why so arrogant?]

[I was just about to go curse her on Weibo, and guess what?]

[Her Weibo doesn't even have a thousand followers, I thought it was a secondary account.]

[Really? Why did the show invite her? I don't get it.]

[It's for the traffic, right? As long as she piggybacks on anyone, she can become famous through controversy. Look, aren't we searching for her now?]

[So disgusting, get her out of here.]

Next, the other girls introduced themselves, starting with the short-haired girl who had mentioned the mural earlier.

"Hello everyone, I'm Liu Chuxia. I graduated from S University and I'm currently a popular science content creator on social media."

[Wow, S University? The top university? And now she's an internet celebrity? Isn't that a bit of a waste of talent?]

[I know her, she has 20 million followers on TikTok, quite famous. I didn't expect her to join this dating show.]

[High education and good looks, she fits in well with the others. She's pretty too, I love her already.] S~ᴇaʀᴄh the Nʘvᴇl(F)ire.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

"Hello everyone, I'm You Xichun. I'm just an unknown newcomer, please guide me, seniors."

[The little sister is so cute, she's just my type.]

[They're both unknown, but that bubble gum chewing woman, don't fall asleep! Why are you dozing off at a time like this?]

[Comparison really kills. The contrast is too obvious.]

The introductions for the women's side were complete, and it was the men's turn. Except for the top actor who introduced himself first, everyone else seemed to form an introduction ladder.

The first to introduce themselves were the actors with the most traffic.

"Hello everyone, I'm Fei Zhemin, I'm an actor."

Fei Zhemin was known as the pinnacle of period drama male gods. Unlike Nangong Yi, who was the cold and aloof type of male god, Fei Zhemin was the cool and noble young master type.

[Zhemin, Zhemin, I'm crazy for you, I'd crash into walls for you.]

[Zhemin looks a bit dazed, is he like this in real life?]

[Zhemin is so handsome, he doesn't lose out to the top actor at all. Strange, why did Zhemin look towards the women's group after his introduction? Who was he staring at?]

Fei Zhemin wasn't interested in dating shows until he saw Zou Yunshu's name, so he agreed to come. This time, he came only for Zou Yunshu.

But...

Zou Yunshu was looking at the dozing Cen Yueyue.

"I'm Bi Yuanshang, I'm a singer. That recent hit song 'You and Me' was sung by me."

[Bi Bi is so cute, he even blushed after speaking. I guess he's shy with so many older sisters around?]

[Ah, Bi Bi, mommy won't let you date!]

[But don't you think the sisters here are all quite suitable? Of course, except for that bubble gum chewing woman who's already fallen asleep.]

"Hello everyone, I'm Yu Jieqi, you can call me Qi Qi. I'm a TikTok celebrity like Xia Xia, but I can't compare to high-educated people like her. I'm just here to liven up the atmosphere."

[I know Yu Jieqi, he's super funny, I like him a lot. Funny guys forever!]

[Qi Qi, take good care of the sisters, okay?]

[So it's a pair of internet celebrities, that's balanced.]

"Hello everyone, I'm Yuan Shumo. They call me the young Nangong Yi, but now I see the gap between me and my senior is huge. I need to learn a lot from him."

After speaking, Yuan Shumo unconsciously glanced at Nangong Yi, only to find that he was completely ignoring him. It was this kind of disregard that was more hurtful.

[Oh my god, what 'young Nangong Yi'? Don't try to associate yourself with him. You look so fake.]

[You are who you are, why call yourself 'young Nangong Yi'? Don't you have your own characteristics? Why imitate others? And it's a low-quality imitation at that, how can you compare?]

[Don't try to associate with our top actor, not just anyone can do that.]

[He doesn't even look similar, why say that? Piggybacking on someone's fame is so disgusting.]

Finally, there was one person left.

"Hello everyone, I'm Dongfang Yuanming. I'm a regular person, you can also call me Dongfang. I've started my own business from scratch, and currently have a company with a few hundred employees."

Dongfang Yuanming was wearing a well-tailored custom suit, exuding a strong businessman aura, and wore gold-rimmed glasses.

[Wow, a real tycoon, now we have all types here, don't we?]

[The novel tycoon has come to life, he's very handsome, not losing out to those male celebrities at all.]

[A real tycoon coming to a dating show to find true love, I wonder who he has his eye on.]

The bullet comments were discussing enthusiastically as the self-introductions finally came to an end.

Six male and six female guests, the director and assistant, plus an assistant for Xie Er'lan.

If it were anyone else, they would definitely be criticized, but this was Xie Er'lan. Everyone knew about her poor health, so having an assistant to take care of her was acceptable.

"I don't need to introduce myself, right? Everyone knows I'm the director of this show. The reason I'm filming this reality show is because the production team has been inviting me persistently, offering too much. I'm just here for a vacation."

[Haha, the director is so funny, as expected of our great director.]

[The director knows how to liven things up, impressive.]

[Given too much, I think if we asked the top actors why they joined this show, the answer would probably be the same - given too much.]

Next came the dinner issue, which the guests were to handle themselves.

Of course, everyone showed off their skills to perform in front of the director.

Cen Yueyue was lazy and simply boiled some water and prepared a cup of instant noodles.

"No! How can you eat this? It's so unhealthy!"

It was Yuan Shumo. He snatched the instant noodles from Cen Yueyue's hands and gave her his homemade vegetable salad instead.

Cen Yueyue: ...

"Don't girls all like to strictly control their diet to maintain their figure? Eat this, it's good for you. Don't be polite."

Cen Yueyue watched helplessly as he ate her instant noodles, her eyes almost overflowing with murderous intent.

"Oh, he likes you, he must like you! That's great, formal filming starts tomorrow, you can pull him in as an ally."

You Xichun came over, nudged Cen Yueyue with her elbow, and spoke ambiguously, as if they were close friends. But as soon as she finished speaking, she found the other woman staring at her, exuding murderous intent, and immediately swallowed hard.

"Uh... I'll go help over there."

[Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Why do I feel like the bubble gum sister wants to chop him up?]

[Surely no one actually thinks this behavior is sweet?]

[To be honest, I hate this kind of self-righteous behavior the most, eating something you don't like under the guise of being good for you, and thinking you're so great.]

[But it is indeed good for her, isn't it?]

[Don't you know that taking someone's food is an unforgivable sin? The bubble gum sister must be a foodie.]

In the end, Cen Yueyue ate the salad on her plate expressionlessly, mechanically, as if chewing on wax, completely devoid of life.

[Hahaha, hilarious, why is she so funny?]

[I can feel her despair. I'm the same when eating salad, feeling like I might as well be dead.]

[Oh, I strongly relate to that. I seem to see tears in her eyes.]

Cen Yueyue had almost finished eating and was about to throw the remaining salad in the trash when someone stopped her.

"How can you waste food?"

Unsurprisingly, it was Yuan Shumo again.

"Because I'm allergic to carrots. If I eat them, I'll break out in hives all over my body, have difficulty breathing, and end up in the hospital. Do you want to see that result?"

Yuan Shumo: ...

The long lecture he had prepared got stuck in his throat.
