I don't care about dating reality shows or the entertainment industry!

"Su Youzi!" Li Bingcheng shouted excitedly, holding up the vase base as if it were a victory flag, showing it off to Huo Jia.

A burst of chuckles and applause followed.

But to Su Youzi, all of this sounded like an echo from afar.

His brows furrowed slightly.

Immediately, she suppressed her emotions, put on a professional actor's smile, and clapped her hands in feigned excitement.

"Jiang Mu and Duan Xingye are in the same group," the staff announced, bringing the selection process to a temporary close.

-

A private room in a restaurant.

Charlene sat on the soft sofa, her eyes glued to the television, afraid of missing a single detail.

"oh--!"

The moment the staff announced it, Charlene's eyes lit up and her lips curved into a perfect smile.

She slammed her hand on the sofa armrest. "I knew it! Those two look so perfect together!"

Ning Zhi, sitting opposite, smiled and gently closed the menu in her hand.

"You invited me for tea but didn't even give me a glance?"

Charlene turned to look at her, "That's my son on the screen, your goddaughter~ Look, they stand together, they look like a perfect couple, so well-matched!"

Ning Zhi chuckled softly, "I think Mu Mu and Xiao Zhu are a better match."

"..." Xia Lin pursed her lips slightly and said stubbornly, "That's because Mu Mu and A Ye lack interaction, that's exactly what they're missing."

“I think Mu Mu and Xiao Zhu are a better match.” Ning Zhi raised an eyebrow. “A bet?”

"Fine, let's bet!" Charlene retorted without backing down. "The first to win doesn't count. This is just the beginning. There are still so many variables to be discovered in the coming days!"

“Okay, it’s a deal then.” Ning Zhi readily agreed.

Then, changing the subject, he joked, "However, we need to have a gentleman's agreement; you can't interfere with the show privately."

Charlene touched her nose and smiled guiltily.

She thought for a moment, raised her right hand, extended three fingers, and solemnly swore, "Alright, alright, I, Xia Lin, swear to God that I will never interfere with the program in private."

Her vow elicited a soft laugh from Ningzhi.

Ning Zhi knew her too well and guessed that she wanted to secretly interfere.

“Hey you, your makeup is much lighter today.” Xia Lin picked up the teacup beside her, gently sniffed the rising tea aroma, and casually mentioned, “With this lighter makeup, you really do look a bit like you. I’m almost in a daze.”

Ning Zhi glanced at the television and nodded in agreement.

"Could she be your lost sister?" Charlene joked.

Ning Zhi was taken aback at first, then laughed speechlessly, "Stop letting your imagination run wild."

-

Games start.

Huo Jia and Liu Tang were the first pair to perform.

The staff member placed a paperclip in Liu Tang's palm.

Zhao Yunlan's eyes widened. "...This is too hard to guess."

Huo Jia, like a blind man, held Liu Tang's hand with one hand and rubbed it incessantly in her palm with the other.

Liu Tang was not blindfolded. Although she harbored resentment towards Huo Jia, the touch between her palm and fingertips still made her heart race and her cheeks flush slightly.

[Liu Tang's expression is so nervous, but also so cute!]

This game is so ambiguous, it made me blush!

Su Youzi hugged her arms tightly, her emotions unconsciously showing on her face.

God!

What a terrible game!

The thought of Li Bingcheng caressing her palm made her feel nauseous and uncomfortable all over.

[Su Youzi's expression is a bit strange, is she jealous?]

[Su Youzi: I'm so jealous]

"I'm going back to my room to touch up my makeup," Su Youzi whispered to Li Bingcheng.

"Huh?" Lee Byung-sung was stunned.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on his lips. This little girl was trying to dress up for him.

She said happily, "Hurry up!"

Su Youzi nodded.

Back in her room, she immediately started searching for her suitcase.

After searching for a long time, I finally found the pair of black gloves, and I immediately felt relieved.

She put on black gloves and styled her long hair into a classic low bun, with a few stray strands falling naturally across her forehead.

Then, a lustrous pearl necklace encircled her neck, echoing the pearl earrings on her earlobes, perfectly replicating the classic look of the Hepburn era.

[...It amazed me!]

She's so beautiful and elegant. Putting aside her character, her looks are truly those of an angel on earth.

Indeed, there's no denying it.

...

Su Youzi smiled and pushed open the door to the home theater.

Her appearance was like that of a leading lady who stepped out of a classic movie, stunning everyone.

Even Jiang Mu, who was playing the game, couldn't help but let out a soft "wow".

Duan Xingye was blindfolded, but his hearing was exceptionally sharp.

He heard the door open, followed by a low gasp.

She has come back.

Huo Jia stared intently at Su Youzi, his infatuation with her evident in his eyes.

Liu Tang pursed her lips, her dissatisfaction growing stronger.

"Wow! I almost thought it was Audrey Hepburn!" Zhao Yunlan praised without reservation.

Li Bingcheng raised an eyebrow at Huo Jia, then moved closer to Su Youzi, their arms almost touching.

With a smile on her face, Su Youzi subtly turned to ask Zhao Yunlan about the competition results.

"My group and Chuan-ge's group guessed 5 correctly, Jing-chu guessed 8, and Ye-zi-ge's group currently has 6."

“We can guess nine correctly!” Li Bingcheng interjected.

Su Youzi nodded with a smile.

"Ten seconds left," the staff member reminded them.

Duan Xingye's fingers hovered lightly above Jiang Mu's palm, never actually touching her skin.

"USB flash drive?"

"That's right!" Jiang Mu replied with delight.

Duan Xingye gracefully removed his blindfold and looked into the crowd.

I paused for a moment, then noticed her gloves.

A slight smile subtly appeared at the corner of her lips.

He turned to look at Jiang Mu and said regretfully, "What a pity, you only guessed 7 correctly."

"You're amazing!" Jiang Mu said sincerely.

[Duan Xingye is such a gentleman; he barely touched Mu Mu's hand.]

[Look at it another way, doesn't this just show that he's not interested in her?]

[Hmm, this pair doesn't have any sweetness.]

...

It's Su Youzi and Li Bingcheng's turn.

Lee Byung-sung put on the blindfold and eagerly reached out his hand.

"We haven't even said 'start' yet," Duan Xingye said quietly, as if maintaining order.

Lee Byung-sung awkwardly withdrew his hand, grinning sheepishly to hide his embarrassment.

The staff member gently placed the dice in Su Youzi's palm. "Start the timer."

Su Youzi wore a faint smile, but her eyes revealed a hint of aloofness.

Lee Byung-sung stretched out his hands, his fingers first touching the back of her hands.

? ?

His brow furrowed slightly, the silky fabric...

She looks beautiful in this outfit, but he can't touch her!

His fingertips slid gently from the back of his hand to his palm, imagining the delicate skin beneath the fabric, and his Adam's apple bobbed.

Duan Xingye glanced at Li Bingcheng sideways, his eyes seemingly hiding a chill.

Su Youzi's hand holding the dice unconsciously sank downwards.

Lee Byung-sung tilted his head slightly. Where was his hand?

His hand then reached down.
