This is the entertainment industry! No tantrums or shouting allowed!

"Ahhhh!"

Not only were the guests screaming, but the viewers in the live stream were also spamming the chat.

[Holy crap! It's a ghost!]

Where did this ugly thing come from?

[No supernatural beings allowed after the founding of the People's Republic! Whose water monkey has come ashore?!]

...

Lu Anbo stared blankly, "What are you yelling about?"

"You wouldn't happen to be Lu... Lu Anbo, would you..." Wen Yao's voice trembled as she mustered her courage to confirm, "Bai Zi, is that you?"

She always thought of herself as a staunch materialist.

But she didn't believe anyone could remain calm upon seeing a water monkey!

"No, there are only five of us. The four of you are all here. Who else could it be besides me?" Lu Amber rubbed his eyes. "Whether there's one more or one less, it's just like a scene from a horror movie..."

and many more.

His movements suddenly stopped.

Why do my hands turn black after rubbing my eyes?

He looked up and noticed a crack above him, from which dew was dripping continuously.

He was so tired after a long day that he slept like a log, completely unaware that the constant smudging had gradually smudged his solid-look foundation and waterproof eyeliner...

This led to the scene where Wen Yao was frightened by the water monkey—

"Bai Zi, your makeup has come off."

Wen Yao's voice rang in my ears like a spell.

Lu Anbo instantly emitted a sharp explosion.

Wen Yao and the others covered their ears.

Countless viewers in front of the screen nearly had their eardrums shattered by the noise.

Wow, so the water monkey is actually Bai Zi!

[My fangirl/fanboy has unfollowed me! I can't accept that the guy I idolized is such a slob!]

[On the contrary, I've become a fan! The fact that Bai Zi's natural features can be made up like this shows her incredibly high level of makeup skill! From now on, I'm a fan of Bai Zi's makeup artistry!]

...

Lu Anbo quickly appeared in a place where there were no cameras, picked up a powder puff and started banging away.

The noise was louder than the renovation.

Wen Yao yawned: "It's late, let's go to sleep, we can finish it tomorrow."

Lu Anbo remained silent, focusing solely on decorating his face.

Everyone: "..."

Common touch-up cosmetics like cushion foundation and loose powder are one thing, but when everyone saw that Lu Anbo even took out false eyelashes, they were all wide awake and their eyes widened like saucers!

Dude, who's the kind person who puts on false eyelashes so late at night?!

"Bai Zi, with your perseverance, you'll succeed at anything..."

Lu Anbo touched up her makeup, making sure it was flawless before appearing in front of the camera.

"Just to clarify, the footage we just saw was all generated by AI! Please don't believe it!"

Yunxing couldn't help but ask, "Then why did you generate your ugly photo and not ours?"

Lu Anbo choked for a moment, then became furious and embarrassed: "You don't understand! This is all a scheme orchestrated by capital! I'm being targeted!"

"..." Yun Xing pouted, "Alright, I can't argue with you, let's go to sleep."

The four of them tacitly stayed far away from Lu Anbo as he slept.

Unexpectedly, Lu Anbo broke down.

"What do you mean by this? Are you isolating me?" Lu Amber was dumbfounded. "This is workplace bullying!"

Wen Yao: "What happened?"

Yunxing: "What happened?"

Fu Wanzhou: "So what happened?"

Joshua: "So what?"

Lu Amber: "..."

The comments section became lively.

I'm sorry, I know this isn't right, but this is the first time I've felt so strongly about siding with a bully...

Imagine you're sleeping next to a water monkey—oh no, I mean a cypress tree—you'd definitely have nightmares that night!

[Don't be afraid, little sister, let me purr my fur, it won't scare you! I strongly suggest that Bai Zi wear a mask to sleep! What should be the punishment for scaring our little sister?]

...

In the end, Wen Yao and the other three slept on one side, while Lu Anbo slept on the other side by himself.

Yunxing quickly fell asleep again.

Wen Yao tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

She simply sat up.

Hearing the noise, Fu Wanzhou also got up and added a few pieces of firewood to the campfire.

"Uh...did I disturb you?" Wen Yao asked apologetically.

"Someone has to keep watch at night," Fu Wanzhou said gently. "Can't sleep?"

Wen Yao had mixed feelings: "He was probably scared by Bai Zi. I must say, his bare face... is quite striking."

Fu Wanzhou chuckled softly.

Wen Yao stared at him, slightly lost in thought.

Fu Wanzhou's smile gradually turned bitter.

"...Do I look a lot like him?"

Wen Yao was stunned for a moment before realizing that the "he" Fu Wanzhou was referring to was her uncle, her boyfriend Fu Qianchuan.

She shook her head.

Strictly speaking, Jiang Jinghuai is the one who most resembles Fu Qianchuan, while Fu Wanzhou and Fu Qianchuan, this uncle and nephew pair, don't look much alike.

One is mature and reserved, the other is passionate and outgoing.

One is like a wolf lying in wait to hunt, the other is like a happy puppy rolling around.

but……

"No, I just feel like you've been smiling less often." Wen Yao looked directly at him with her clear eyes. "Does this variety show make you unhappy?"

The surroundings were silent.

The only sound it makes is occasionally crackling when the firewood is burning.

The two were very close, separated only by the flickering flames.

Fu Wanzhou knew, however, that there was an insurmountable chasm between them.

That's a distance that can never be bridged, no matter how many times we start over.

The distance between hearts is the farthest thing in the world.

He sighed, his voice filled with helplessness at the face of fate:

"Sister Yao, I am not a saint."

Therefore, he was unable to control his emotions.

He wanted to be rational, objective, and calm, but every time he saw her, every time he looked at her, his heart would completely lose control.

People really can fall in love with the same person over and over again.

Ugh, this couple is so heartbreaking!

[Waaaaah, even the happy puppy has turned into an emo puppy!]

[Sister, please hug him, he's almost broken!]

...

Wen Yao was somewhat at a loss.

"I don't know how to comfort you, but perhaps time will heal all wounds..."

She knew it was a white lie.

For example, her obsession is the death of Gu Yan in her previous life.

Time will never erase it.

Even without being reborn, she will definitely find the real culprit and bring him to justice.

If the law cannot punish, then... she will choose to resolve it herself.

People only realize what they truly care about when they lose it.

This time, Wen Yao will not repeat the same mistake.

But she didn't want Fu Wanzhou to remain mired in this quagmire.

"Do you have any regrets? If you were given a second chance at life, what would you most like to do? For example, what major would you want to study, who would you want to see, what stocks would you want to buy, what career would you want to change to... Tonight is a chat session, let's speak freely!"

Fu Wanzhou fell into thought.

The topic of Wen Yao has aroused the interest of many viewers, and everyone is sharing their thoughts in the barrage comments.

"Can I choose when I'm reborn?"

"Of course. If I were to go back to the college entrance exam hall right now, I'd be doomed. With my current knowledge base, forget about getting into a prestigious university, I probably wouldn't even be able to get into a regular university," Wen Yao complained. "So? What time do you want to choose?"
