After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

There were chairs in the main room, and everyone carried them out to the courtyard themselves.

Ye Sanqing brought out a chair and saw Ye Wanyin waiting on the side.

When she looked around the courtyard, she saw that only Deng Lingxuan was sitting casually on the chair that Ji Wan had brought over, and Ji Wan was placing a second chair next to her; Pan Hongyu and Yin Xiangming were sitting in the row behind them, while Pei Canxing and Sheng Hanyu... were standing on the side with chairs.

Ye Sanqing found it somewhat amusing. So Ye Wanyin was waiting for them to sit down so she could snuggle up to them? Why wasn't she snuggling up to Deng Lingxuan now?

The other two were probably wary of Ye Wanyin, afraid that she would come close to them as soon as they sat down, so they were still standing.

Ye Sanqing decided to break the deadlock, so he walked over and placed a chair about two seats away from Yin Xiangming.

As soon as Sheng Hanyu saw her sit down, he immediately followed and sat between her and Yin Xiangming.

Pei Canxing reacted a beat too slow, quickly glanced at Ye Wanyin, and immediately sat down in the middle before she could move.

Ye Wanyin: ...

Sheng Hanyu's actions had distracted her. She wanted to sit next to Sheng Hanyu, but Yin Xiangming was on the other side, so she hesitated for a second, and then the seat was gone.

So she either sat next to Ye Sanqing or next to Deng Lingxuan. Otherwise, she would sit in the third row, all by herself.

It's infuriating that Ye Sanqing sat there carelessly!

She had already planned it out: as soon as Sheng Hanyu sat down, she would immediately go to his side. That way, if Pei Canxing was on the other side, it would be perfect; if not, she could at least be near him.

As soon as Ye Sanqing arrived, chaos ensued!

Deng Lingxuan was looking around at that moment, and when she saw that she was still standing there, she immediately invited her to come and sit down.

This conveniently saved Ye Wanyin from an awkward situation. Although she wasn't too keen on sitting in front of the two brothers, as it would make it difficult to observe their reactions, it was still better than sitting next to Ye Sanqing.

Who knows if Ye Sanqing will suddenly kick her chair away!

[Excited, nervous, finally it's here! So excited!]

Have you finished your breakfast?

[Quickly announce the answer! I want to see if my guess is right, and see who gets the lowest score!]

Am I the only one who noticed the seat-grabbing scramble just now?

[A mini-battleground, quite exciting.]

What are you talking about? It's just everyone sitting down normally.

It's too late, watch the replay yourself later.

Zhu Song walked to the front, holding a piece of paper in his hand. Someone pushed over a whiteboard with eight long strips of paper pasted horizontally on it.

"Everyone's here, so now I'll announce the results—" Zhu Song said excitedly.

That was brilliant! The scoring was absolutely brilliant! I've never had such a brilliant moment in all the seasons I've done!

"Which one should we announce first?" Zhu Song pretended to hesitate in front of the whiteboard.

Now everyone can see that the whiteboard has numbers from one to eight written on it, and the note attached to each number should contain the guest's name and score.

"Just so you know, the group with the lowest score will have an extra task, and the group with the highest score will get a reward—" Zhu Song said, moving his hand up and down over several numbers.

"I have a question. What about individual rankings? Are there any rewards?" Ye Sanqing asked.

"The individual ranking is simply the order in which rooms are selected," Zhu Song said. This is the first small pitfall, because after he explained that scores are calculated by group, people can easily subconsciously overlook individual scores. But since the scores are listed separately in eight parts, the individual ranking is still meaningful.

He won't warn anyone if no one notices.

Admittedly, this tactic worked the first time, and some viewers raised questions afterward, but not all of them questioned it immediately.

"Then let's start announcing from the middle!" Zhu Song quickly tore off the fourth and fifth slips of paper.

【Wow? Ji Wan is that tall】

[Not high, fourth place, but surprisingly higher than Teacher Pan...]

[This person was nowhere to be found in the entertainment industry yesterday, how is that possible?]

Zhu Song read out the words on the slip of paper: "Fourth place, Ji Wan, 58 points; Fifth place, Pan Hongyu, 54 points."

Zhu Songyin said with a smile, "I know everyone will have questions about this score, but we will announce everyone's score later, and everyone can calculate whether it is correct."

Is this a calculation problem...? This episode looks like it's already setting the stage for a bloody battle! I'm intrigued, I have to watch the live stream every day!

Why do you say that? Isn't it very tall?

[Um... let me explain, longtime viewers. Generally, when people give their first score, they're a bit polite, usually giving it an 8 to 10, meaning the average score is above 56, with most scoring in the 60s.]

[Great! It seems the guests this time are all honest people.]

This averages out to 56, which doesn't prove anything.

How low would that minimum score have to be...?

[No matter how low the ranking, it definitely won't be Wanwan. Wanwan is the most popular! She'll definitely be number one!]

[Xuanxuan is so lovable! Xuanxuan is number one!]

You guys shouldn't post things like that that you'll likely be proven wrong soon, or you'll be unhappy when you are.

Then Zhu Song tore off the sixth place, saying, "If there are ties, we will sort them alphabetically by the first letter of their names."

"Therefore, sixth place goes to Yin Xiangming, with 54 points."

[Strangely enough, the mother and son are listed side by side.]

This isn't low, let's take another look.

Ye Wanyin was shocked: How could this be? Yin Xiangming, such an unremarkable and dull person, actually ranked sixth? She thought he would be at least seventh.

However, upon further reflection, she wondered if this meant Ye Sanqing was very likely among the last two!

So she began to look forward to the outcome.

Haha, if Ye Sanqing ranks last in this round, then she can finally hold her head high for a while.

But Zhu Song didn't continue announcing the results. Instead, he turned the slip of paper in front of him and revealed the third place: "Third place, Ye Sanqing, 60 points!"

How could this be? Ye Wanyin's anticipation lasted less than a second before being dashed. She was so shocked that she almost broke the manicure on her hand.

No need to rush! She immediately comforted herself. She was only third, so didn't she have a chance to be first? As long as she could surpass Ye Sanqing, second place would be fine too!

Is Ye Sanqing's name a bad choice, destined to be ranked third?

Sixty points isn't very high... This time it's really brutal.

Haha, who's giving her such a low score? I watched her all day yesterday and didn't see anything wrong with her.

[Hehe, guess?]

[Maybe they're all very low!]

Zhu Song jumped down again to announce the seventh place. "Seventh place, Deng Lingxuan, 49.5 points!"

"What? That's impossible!" Deng Lingxuan thought to herself that she wouldn't get a low score; she believed she was very popular!

What did she hear next? Not only seventh place, but also a 0.5 point! She was so angry she stood up abruptly, turned to Ye Sanqing, and demanded, "Did you make up that 0.5 point?"

Ye Sanqing: "How did you know? You're quite clever. Let me give you a round of applause!"

He then actually started clapping.

Deng Lingxuan: "How...how could you give it 0.5 points?!" She actually admitted it frankly!

"Can't I?" Ye Sanqing looked at Zhu Song in confusion. "Then how about I change it to 1 point?"

"Um... Xuanxuan, changing it to 1 point won't change your ranking," Ye Wanyin tugged at Deng Lingxuan, trying to persuade her. She then turned and gave Ye Sanqing a reproachful look!

Upon hearing this, Sheng Hanyu glanced at the scores on the whiteboard and couldn't help but smile.

Ye Wanyin didn't know if she was blind or bad at math, or maybe both...

Zhu Song: "It's not that I can't give it 0.5 points..."

Ye Sanqing: "Then I won't change it."

Ye Wanyin caught a glimpse of Sheng Hanyu's smile but didn't understand what he meant. Did he think she looked gentle when she was persuading Deng Lingxuan?

Ye Wanyin was overjoyed, shyly tucked her hair behind her ear, and turned back away.

"Alright! Ta-da! Let's announce the second place!" Zhu Song tore off the slip of paper, "Second place, Sheng Hanyu, 60 points!"

Ye Sanqing: "Tsk." It seems they were actually tied for second place, but the reason they lost out was because of their surname.

However, the actual result was the same, so she didn't take it to heart.

Sheng Hanyu was also somewhat surprised by the result. He didn't care much about the score, after all, this group of people today... didn't seem very reliable, so their scores couldn't be taken too seriously.

But he didn't expect to be ranked alongside Ye Sanqing. Thinking of this, he whispered to Ye Sanqing, "Sorry, how about you go first when choosing a room?"

Ye Sanqing looked at him with surprise. What's the difference between the second and third choices?

Seeing the slight embarrassment in the other person's eyes, she decided to accept the offer, but only half. "Why don't we choose at the same time?"

Sheng Hanyu laughed and nodded.

What is it that I cannot hear? What is it that I cannot listen to?

I won't say who got hurt.

[Aww, Hanyu is so gentle, are they discussing choosing rooms?]

I raise the banner for nightly revelry!

I nominate the couple name "Three Lifetimes of Good Fortune".

[This one is also good; it feels more distinctive, considering there are quite a few people with the surname Ye...]

What about our Silent Couple?

Tell me, how long did it take you to find this word?

[Just a passerby] "Nightly revelry" sounds much more lively than "utter silence." Indeed, these two are not only very different in temperament, but their CP names are also very different in temperament.

Stay away! Retreat! Retreat!

【Wanwan didn't offend you!】

"Next up is our big reveal! The number one!!" Zhu Song raised his voice, "Pei Canxing! 63 points!"

Pei Canxing: Huh? Me?

Just as Ye Wanyin was about to congratulate him, she suddenly realized something, and her expression changed.

All eyes were on her.

The last name that wasn't pronounced was Ye Wanyin, wasn't it?
