Touya Yaoyao

No sooner had Yu Yaoyao finished speaking than, whether by coincidence or design, the director, who had been nowhere to be seen moments before, suddenly reappeared and, quite tactlessly, interrupted the woman's impending retort, saying directly:

"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's start filming. You'll be in pairs, so will you form your own teams or draw lots?"

As soon as the director finished speaking, the couples on set quickly formed an alliance, leaving only Yu Yaoyao, Bai Taoshi, the woman who had just mocked Yu Yaoyao, and a seemingly ordinary young man.

Before the woman could speak, Bai Taoshi directly took Yu Yaoyao's hand, who was hesitating whether to team up with the young man, and said loudly:

"I'm paired with Yaoyao. We were classmates before, so I think we'll have better teamwork and it'll be easier to complete the tasks."

The woman originally wanted to team up with Bai Taoshi, since Bai Taoshi was not only a movie star, but also had the most fans among them. If she were to cooperate with him, it would be entirely beneficial.

Before she could even speak, she heard Bai Taoshi choose Yu Yaoyao, and her expression immediately turned somewhat unpleasant.

She glanced at the seemingly dull young man beside her with obvious disdain. Although she didn't like him much, she couldn't possibly team up alone, so she could only grit her teeth and agree.

However, the look in her eyes when she looked at Yu Yaoyao was clearly unfriendly, indicating that she held a grudge.

Yu Yaoyao rolled her eyes without hesitation, then whispered to Bai Taoshi:

"Who is she? Is she popular lately?! How come she seems even more arrogant than Chen Yuexin?!"

Seeing Yu Yaoyao's displeased expression, Bai Taoshi couldn't help but explain in a low voice:

"She's a star performer at Shen Family Entertainment Company in Beijing, a rising starlet that Shen Junhe is currently promoting. Her name is Ye Lanmei, and I've heard she has a somewhat ambiguous relationship with Shen Junhe, so..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yu Yaoyao understood what Bai Taoshi meant and showed a look of sudden realization.

Like the Ye family, where Yu Yaoyao belongs, and the Bai family, where Bai Taoshi belongs, the Shen family, to which Shen Junhe belongs, are all well-known aristocratic families in the wealthy circles of Beijing. Their entertainment company is one of the earliest in the Beijing film and television industry, so their foundation is extremely deep.

Being promoted by Shen Junhe and even securing a top spot in Shen's entertainment company, she must be no ordinary person. Therefore, Yu Yaoyao looked at her with considerable scrutiny before shifting her gaze to another person.

Seeing Yu Yaoyao looking at the man, Bai Taoshi didn't think much of it and introduced him directly:

"He's the most unique one in our group. His name is Liu Ying, but people in the industry prefer to call him 'the acting fanatic.' He loves acting so much that he'll take on any role, good or bad. As a result, while his acting skills might be considered very good within the industry, his overall performance isn't that great."

.........

Perhaps to help Yu Yaoyao adapt to the environment quickly, Bai Taoshi introduced everyone present to her.

It has to be said that this director is quite capable, finding several well-known people from various industries to participate in the variety show.

For example, the pretty, fresh-faced girl with long, flowing hair and a beige dress who was close to Ye Lanmei was a cartoonist named Xia Man.

Next to Xia Man, the young man with quirky clothes, cold and arrogant eyes, wearing a cross necklace and a baseball cap, is an unruly rock singer named Jiang Cheng.

Next to Jiang Cheng, a smiling woman dressed in cute and endearing clothes was talking to a man. She was Shen Zhenzhen, a female internet celebrity actress who had recently become popular online.

The man in the suit who was chatting with Shen Zhenzhen, and who had a refined demeanor, was a professional model named Li Yue, who was quite well-known in the industry.

As expected, they were all big shots from various industries. Yu Yaoyao withdrew her gaze, looked at Bai Taoshi, and couldn't help but ask:

"You brought me to this variety show, aren't you afraid of getting attacked by your fans?! They'll say you're love-struck or something?!"

Bai Taoshi's previously calm expression cracked slightly at Yu Yaoyao's complaint. Then, he said irritably:

"Didn't that variety show cause you to be cyberbullied by my fans last time?! So, to make up for the harm my fans caused you, I've decided you'll come to this variety show to heal your wounded heart, okay?!"

This explanation clearly made Yu Yaoyao's lips twitch, and she said with a rather speechless disdain:

"Then you should know that instead of appearing on variety shows, wouldn't giving me a small sum of money directly show your sincerity?! Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands is not too little, millions or tens of millions is not too much, I'll accept it all."

Looking into Yu Yaoyao's extremely sincere eyes, Bai Taoshi gritted his teeth and said, unable to bear it any longer:

"Yu Yaoyao, you're hopeless! You're such a money-grubber!!"

Yu Yaoyao didn't feel embarrassed by Bai Taoshi's accusations; instead, she shrugged and joked:

"You don't need to save me. You know I'm a miser, so you'd better just bury me in money."

Bai Taoya was so angry with her that he didn't want to talk and simply ignored her.

Seeing that Bai Taoshi was angry, Yu Yaoyao looked away innocently. Before she could take a closer look, Bai Taoshi, who could no longer bear it, grabbed her by the collar and dragged her into the car.

As soon as they got in the car, the driver handed them a task card. Yu Yaoyao glanced at the contents of the task card, which asked them to write down their preferences and such.

What's the point of filling this out?! Are they surveying people's preferences so they can do something bad?!

Thinking of this, Yu Yaoyao subconsciously glanced at Bai Taoshi, who was filling out the form carefully, and felt that there must be something fishy going on. So, she looked at the preference form in her hand and subconsciously began to think.

Don't overthink it. She felt that the production team was definitely up to something. It was an intuition, or something else, but she just had a vague feeling that something was not right.

Finally, Shiratoshi, who had filled out his preferences form, handed it over. Yu Yaoyao thought for a while and then handed over her own form as well.

Well, Yu Yaoyao's perceptiveness is quite remarkable, because their first challenge on the variety show was to make the other person guess how well they knew him.

Yu Yaoyao glanced at the seesaw in the arena, then at the pool behind it, and finally fixed her gaze on the white shirt under Bai Taoshi's suit jacket, a mischievous smile inexplicably creeping onto her face.

She doesn't have any bad intentions. If I had to say, she probably wanted to give fans a treat. Of course, the one giving the treat is Shiro Touya. So, this is God's arrangement. You insisted on being on my team, so don't blame me.

Yu Yaoyao was eager to try her hand at it, while Bai Taoshi was confident of victory and remained calm. As for the others, they were more or less nervous, seemingly afraid of being punished.

To help everyone understand the rules as quickly as possible, the director told them directly that the task was to win a prize if they guessed correctly and be punished if they guessed wrong. The punishment was to be thrown into the water by a seesaw.

It really was a punishment that came as a godsend. Thinking about this, Yu Yaoyao felt that it was right to fill in her hobbies randomly just now, because she could trick Bai Taoshi.

Bai Taoya was completely unaware of this. Instead, he looked at the pair of dolls on the awards stage with a determined expression. He had heard from the director that the dolls could add points to the final scoring round of the romance competition, and the couple with the highest score would receive a free 10-day trip to Sanya provided by the program team.

Although he had been to Sanya before, he felt he could give it a try if he were to go with Yu Yaoyao.

It's possible that Ye Lanmei and Liu Ying weren't very compatible, so they were eliminated within minutes. The remaining pairs had all given each other hints about the questions, which allowed them to take longer.

When it was Yu Yaoyao's turn, she easily answered all of Bai Taoshi's questions. But when Bai Taoshi went up, he suddenly realized that Yu Yaoyao, that troublemaker, had actually changed the questions!

The first question is: What flavor of food does the other person like? 1. Sweet, 2. Spicy, 3. Sour.

Shirato confidently chose the dessert, and then, without any warning, he was mercilessly thrown into the water by the seesaw, creating a huge splash that soaked him completely, and his custom-made suit was also ruined by the water.

This sudden turn of events left him completely dumbfounded. He looked incredulously at Yu Yaoyao, who was excitedly snapping photos with her phone, and angrily climbed onto the table to continue answering the questions, glaring fiercely at Yu Yaoyao.

Seeing this, Yu Yaoyao innocently leaned over and whispered, "Should we take off our coats? After all, even though the temperature is rising, it's easy to catch a cold if you're wearing wet clothes."

Bai Taoshi ignored this, but still quickly took off his clothes and handed them to Yu Yaoyao, revealing a nearly transparent white shirt underneath.

Yu Yaoyao nodded, secretly pleased. Great, now there's nothing to hide.

Next is the second question: What style of clothes does the other person like? 1. Sweet, 2. Intellectual, 3. Hot.

Bai Tao thought that Yu Yaoyao probably chose the answers she disliked, so he unceremoniously chose answer 3. Then, full of confidence, he was thrown into the water again because Yu Yaoyao's answer was 1, sweet.

The saying goes that fortune favors the bold; one should not rely on a single way of answering questions, but rather use a mix of truth and falsehood to deceive others.

Yu Yaoyao failed to deceive everyone, but she did indeed trick Bai Taoshi, resulting in Bai Taoshi being thrown into the pool seven times in total!

The result of being thrown into the pool many times was that Shiratoya was soaked to the bone, but she continued to take pictures with an excited and thrilled expression.

This kind of benefit is rare, so she has to hurry, otherwise what if the other party deletes her photos?!
