Touya Yaoyao

Yu Yaoyao's words stunned Bai Taoshi, leaving him speechless. Seeing Bai Taoshi's shocked expression, Yu Yaoyao didn't bother to continue talking to him and simply turned and left the room where she had been talking to him.

But as soon as she stepped out of the room, she saw Liu Ying, dressed in women's clothing, and Ye Lanmei, dressed in men's clothing, pass by her looking exhausted.

Judging from their demeanor, they must have just returned from checking in, and neither of them seemed to be in a good mood!

When Ye Lanmei saw Yu Yaoyao looking at her, she glared at her fiercely, leaving Yu Yaoyao speechless.

What does this have to do with her?! And she's glaring at her, is she sick in the head?! Liu Ying was a little better, nodding slightly to show respect.

When Liu Ying greeted her, Yu Yaoyao smiled, only to be glared at by Ye Lanmei.

Ugh, speechless. I was just giving a polite smile, did they have to be so domineering? Thinking this, she subconsciously pursed her lips and quickly left that place of trouble.

As expected, Liu Ying and Ye Lanmei were last in the check-in process, which resulted in them being punished by the program team by eating a bowl of extremely unpalatable noodles.

Originally, this was just a show for fun, but Ye Lanmei was so angry that she posted a sarcastic Weibo post that evening, saying that Liu Ying was dragging her down.

Although Liu Ying is not as famous as her, she also has fans. For a time, the entire Weibo was filled with posts of the two fans fighting.

Ye Lanmei's fans mocked Liu Ying, saying she was good for nothing but acting and didn't know how to be considerate of women.

Liu Ying's fans criticized Ye Lanmei for having a princess complex, saying that she's an adult and still needs to be pampered and coddled, not a little baby.

The two groups were locked in a fierce battle, with some fans even getting the director's phone number and calling him late at night to demand a replacement. They threatened to harass him with daily phone calls if he refused.

This was the first time the director had experienced something like this. In previous variety shows, the guests got along very well and their interactions were very sweet.

This time, regardless of his opinion of Ye Lanmei, the fact that her fans called him in the middle of the night has made him lose most of his goodwill towards her.

However, he still took the threats from the other party's fans to heart. After all, Ye Lanmei was a rising starlet heavily promoted by Shen's entertainment company, and there was no benefit in offending her.

Because of this incident, the director made an excuse the next morning, saying that the ratings were too low the day before, so they were going to change the rules and draw lots to decide who would be paired with whom!

Shirato looked at the director in astonishment, thinking, "What nonsense are you spouting?! Yesterday's ratings were clearly higher than your previous variety shows. Who are you trying to fool by saying the ratings aren't good?!"

Before he could even speak, he saw the director make a gesture to calm down. Helpless, he could only calm down and wait quietly.

The so-called lottery system involves the director preparing two slips of paper of different colors, crumpling them into balls, and placing them in two separate boxes. Whoever draws the same color gets to team up directly, making it a combination based on luck.

This time, the team members were completely changed. Jiang Cheng and Shen Zhenzhen were in one group, Xia Man and Li Yue were in another group, Bai Taoshi and Ye Lanmei were in another group, and Yu Yaoyao was in another group with Liu Ying.

Yu Yaoyao didn't know whether others were satisfied or not, but when she was drawn to be in a group with Ye Lanmei, Bai Taoshi's expression flashed with displeasure.

Yu Yaoyao wanted to laugh, but fearing Bai Taoshi's revenge if she laughed, she could only pretend to look away unintentionally, though the corners of her mouth were almost upturned to the sky.

Just as Yu Yaoyao was trying to hide her smile and turned her face away, she heard Liu Ying's gentle voice.

"Hello, my name is Liu Ying, and I am an actress."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yaoyao stopped smiling, straightened her posture, and introduced herself with utmost sincerity:

Hello, my name is Yu Yaoyao.

Liu Ying glanced at Yu Yaoyao, inexplicably sensing that someone was watching him from behind. He smiled awkwardly, then whispered:

"I'm just trying to complete a task, so I hope you'll cooperate!"

Will you cooperate to complete the mission? It's not impossible. Thinking this, Yu Yaoyao nodded and confidently assured them:

"Okay, don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble."

Seeing that she agreed, Liu Ying subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. Yesterday had been a long and tiring day; not only was Ye Lanmei furious, but he was also seething with anger. Now, all he wanted was to find someone to quickly finish the task and end the variety show recording. Therefore, he quickly forced a relaxed smile and said:

"That's good"

Meanwhile, Shen Zhenzhen and Jiang Cheng, Li Yue and Xia Man introduced themselves and got along very well. Therefore, Bai Taoshi and Ye Lanmei's pairing stood out from the crowd.

What made her stand out was that Ye Lanmei wanted to get closer to Bai Taoshi, but Bai Taoshi simply wouldn't cooperate. Not only was he indifferent, but he also remained unmoved, showing absolutely no gentlemanly manners towards a lady.

Seeing Bai Taoshi's indifferent expression, Ye Lanmei's originally sweet smile inevitably became somewhat stiff. As a pillar of the Ye family's film and television company, she also had a certain degree of arrogance.

Since the other party ignored her, she was too lazy to waste her breath on them. As a result, compared to the others who were chatting fluently, these two seemed extremely aloof.

Now that they had successfully formed their own teams, the director announced today's task: to buy ingredients and work together to make a cake for the production team to taste. The losing team would have to eat the entire cake and also draw on the other team's face.

This task immediately made Yu Yaoyao's face fall. She looked pitifully at Liu Ying, but before she could even speak, Liu Ying guaranteed her success:

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yaoyao's eyes immediately lit up, and she said excitedly:

"Really? Bro, you can even bake cakes?! You're amazing!"

Although her performance was somewhat exaggerated, her sincerity and genuine gaze were her strengths. Looking at Yu Yaoyao, Liu Ying smiled awkwardly and explained:

"I specifically studied this for filming a movie, so you don't need to worry. Just decide what kind of ingredients you want to buy."

Seeing Liu Ying's assurance, Yu Yaoyao readily agreed without hesitation. Meanwhile, Shen Zhenzhen, Jiang Cheng, Li Yue, and Xia Man looked at each other awkwardly, as none of the four of them were very good at making cakes, which was quite a challenge for them.

Bai Taoshi had specifically learned how to make cakes, just so he could put it to use today. However, the person he wanted to please was in a group with someone else, so he couldn't help but lose interest. Ye Lanmei, on the other hand, looked miserable.

She doesn't know how to bake cakes, nor did she ever think she would. She just doesn't understand why a dating reality show would include a culinary activity like baking cakes. Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?

Regardless of their inner complaints, things had to continue. And this unexpected turn of events left many viewers watching the live stream completely bewildered.

【Wait, why the sudden change of personnel?! Everything was fine yesterday??】

[What's so good about her?! My Meimei suffered so much yesterday, but she seems fine now.]

[That's right, that's right! Our MeiMei is so wronged. I think today is great. She gets to be paired with Bai Yingdi. The two of them look so good together.]

[What's so pleasing to the eye about this? Yesterday's photos were definitely more pleasing to the eye!]

【You're talking nonsense! It's clearly our Meimei who's the best match for the movie star. That woman just knows how to flatter Liu Ying like an idiot. Don't think we can't see that she's trying to seduce men.】

[What's wrong with praising our Liu Ying?! Our Liu Ying is excellent, okay?! I wonder if his cake is good or not, I really want to try a bite.]

Tao Tao has recently learned to make cakes, and I really want to try one. I wish I could be Ye Lanmei so I could eat Tao Tao's cake.

.........

Seeing the style of the scene getting more and more off, the director simply stopped explaining the rules and gave an order for all four groups to go buy ingredients. Because Yu Yaoyao liked strawberry cake, she asked Liu Ying if she could make strawberry cake.

Liu Ying didn't care what kind of cake it was; as long as he completed the task, he didn't care about anything else, so he quickly agreed.

Since Liu Ying had no objections, the next step was to figure out how to complete the task. Having made their decision, the two left first, hoping to complete the task as soon as possible and achieve their goal.

Since someone took the lead, the others were not to be outdone and left one after another. As for Bai Taoshi and Ye Lanmei, although they didn't really pay attention to each other, they still resigned themselves to the punishment the director mentioned and got into the car to the supermarket.

However, they were quite far apart from the other guests, as if they were looking down on each other.
