The system makes me so beautiful that I don't care about anyone else's life or death.

"Host, are you going to ignore him?" Little Butterfly was referring to Gu Cai outside the door.

Su Ran picked up the bag of barbecue with both hands, brought it closer to smell it, and it smelled pretty good.

Hearing the little butterfly's words, she replied without hesitation, "I don't care."

Little Butterfly suddenly felt a little sorry for Gu Cai.

"Host, isn't this the legendary behavior of a scumbag woman?"

Su Ran looked up at Little Butterfly: "It's the behavior of a scumbag woman to start a relationship and then abandon it. I haven't even dated him yet, and I haven't started a relationship and then abandoned him. Where did you get this conclusion about being a scumbag woman?"

The little butterfly thought for a moment, then suddenly realized and said, "Oh, I know, you're not a bad girl, so he must be the legendary simp?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Little Butterfly retorted, "Hmm... with Gu Cai's appearance, the term 'simp' is a bit too vulgar. What word can express it more directly?"

A skewer of meat was offered to the little butterfly's nose.

Stop overthinking and eat.

"I'm not hungry."

"Of course you're not hungry, you cyborg. Are you going to eat or not?"

"Eating is fine, but I'm more interested in gossip than food right now. Host, do you really have absolutely no feelings for Gu Cai?"

"Even food can't shut you up?"

"Just tell me the answer and I'll get it."

"no feelings."

"Really? Turn on the ECG sensor so I can hear it."

Do you want to get beaten up?

"If getting beaten up will let me know the real answer, then I'll get beaten up." Little Butterfly closed her eyes, looking like she was ready to die.

Su Ran pouted, ignored the little butterfly, turned and went into the bathroom, and soon the sound of washing up could be heard.

After waiting quite a while for the beating, the little butterfly opened its eyes, its expression thoughtful.

The mirror was shrouded in a layer of misty vapor. Slender, white fingers traced a clear line on the mirror, reflecting a face covered in steam.

Su Ran dried her black hair with a towel, examined it for a moment, and felt that her hair had grown longer and faster, already reaching below her shoulders.

She changed into her pajamas and came out of the bathroom. The barbecue on the coffee table had been mostly eaten by the little butterfly. The little girl had a conscience and left her some barbecue and corn.

I don't know where Gu Cai bought it from, but the barbecue was properly smoked over charcoal, and a rich, smoky aroma still lingers.

Does she hate Gu Cai?

it's OK.

She even thought Gu Cai was cute and liked to tease him.

The boy had delicate features, especially his watery eyes, which looked extremely pitiful when he begged for mercy. When he smiled, his whole face was sweet. Perhaps because of this harmless appearance, he always acted arrogantly, as if someone owed him eight million.

Su Ran composed herself, ignoring the innocent eyes in her mind and the barbecue on the coffee table, and returned to her room.

Gu Cai sat outside in a daze, unaware that a paramecium had quietly crawled to his collar.

In the end, it was Zhong Jue who found him.

He slapped her across the face.

"Snapped"

A poor insect died without a proper burial.

"Brother Zhong, what are you doing?" Gu Cai jumped up in fright, looking completely bewildered.

Zhong Jue took out a handkerchief and elegantly wiped her palms. There was definitely an element of revenge in that slap.

"Are you sitting here in the middle of the night performing some kind of 'lost boy eaten by insects' act?" Zhong Jue sat down as well.

"I don't understand what you're saying. It's too hot inside, so I'm going outside for some fresh air." Having his secret exposed, Gu Cai's cheeks flushed slightly, but he still stubbornly refused to admit it.

“I already know. It’s not a pleasant feeling to fail, is it?” As if he had thought of something, he smiled softly. “Su Ran is no ordinary girl. I can see through the hearts of many women, but I can’t see through hers.”

“If you could see right through her,” Gu Cai turned to look directly at Zhong Jue, “would you still like her?”

Zhong Jue paused, his hands, which had been casually resting on his lap, as if to hide his unease. He put his hands on the back of the chair, looked up at the night sky, which was dark and starless, just like his mood.

“I can’t see through her,” Zhong Jue said in a low voice, “but I know she will definitely not choose either of us.”

"Whether it's you, me, or even An Yecheng, in her eyes, we are all just passersby in her life. She won't stay for any of us." This is the experience Zhong Jue has summarized. He can't see himself in Su Ran's eyes.

Gu Cai retorted vehemently, "Impossible!"

If that's the case, then what about the time she deliberately teased him?

Zhong Jue said helplessly, "Don't get too involved, or you'll be the one who gets hurt." As he said this, he couldn't help but give a bitter smile to himself.

"I don't want to talk to you anymore." Gu Cai got up and left in frustration.

"Hey, hey, hey? You're getting all worked up over a few words. You have no patience at all. Su Ran will never like this," Zhong Jue shouted from behind.

Gu Cai stopped in his tracks, turned around and glared at Zhong Jue: "That's fine too. If you don't like me and you don't like me, we're brothers in misfortune. I'll feel balanced."

"Too much."

"We'll see."

Gu Cai made a lot of small moves in the following days.

On his way back from work on the show, he picked colorful wildflowers but didn't directly say he wanted to give them to Su Ran. Instead, he put them in a vase and placed it in the most conspicuous spot in the yard, constantly watching Su Ran's expression. Whenever Su Ran glanced at them a few more times, he would immediately say, "Do you like them? I picked them on the way. If you like them, I can give them to you."

Zhong Jue couldn't bear to watch. Unlike Gu Cai, he still had some self-respect in front of the camera.

Gu Cai has already lost all shame.

He openly harbored his crush.

Not only the production team, but even the viewers in the live broadcast room noticed the signs.

Could Gu Cai's accusations be any more obvious?

As soon as Guiyin accepted the bouquet of flowers, he could barely suppress a smile.

[He even pretended to drink water, his eyes crinkling with laughter. Is this really the Gu Cai we know?]

Su Ran did accept the bouquet of flowers, but it wasn't hers that wanted them; it was Little Butterfly who wanted them.

So when Su Ran handed the flowers to Little Butterfly, Gu Cai's drinking motion clearly stopped, and even his curved eyes widened slightly, quickly turning red, as if he was aggrieved.

Just before Su Ran looked over, he casually put down his cup and said with a smile, "I learned a new sizzling beef dish today. Let's try it together with Little Butterfly after we finish grading."

After saying that, he looked at Su Ran with anticipation.

Little Butterfly whispered to Su Ran, "He doesn't seem to care about winning or losing at all, he only cares whether you want to eat the food he makes."

For Su Ran, who has an I-like personality, refusing a small request from a good friend in front of the camera would be impolite and illogical.

But her response to his hidden feelings would undoubtedly make him fall even deeper.

Su Ran nodded, almost as if possessed.

Gu Cai visibly became excited, almost jumping up and down, and said with a smile, "I'll go prepare right away, you wait here."

Zhong Jue frowned, thinking to himself: Could it be that a strong woman is really afraid of a persistent man?
