After reading my mind, everyone collectively begged me to watch the drama unfold!

When it was Yan Cigui and Gu Qingye's turn, everyone's eyes were fixed on them, eager to see what the villain and the second male lead would say.

"I've dated before, but I'm currently single. I don't have a particular type, and I don't have anyone I like right now." Yan Cigui wasn't going to let others laugh at her, especially Lin Guiyi. Seeing her gossipy expression, Yan Cigui told her to get lost.

Gu Qingye continued, "I've been busy with my studies and career and have been single until now, but I have a strong liking for Ms. Lin Guiyi." Gu Qingye looked at Lin Guiyi at the end.

Silence, silence, silence; the scene was stuck.

"What? Me? You have feelings for me?" Lin Guiyi thought he must have misheard, that he was hallucinating, it must be a hallucination.

"Yes, I have feelings for you." Gu Qingye's eyes were burning.

Lin Guiyi was stung by the light and hurriedly turned his head away to avoid looking.

Sensing the awkward atmosphere, everyone laughed it off and changed the subject.

Gu Qingye's direct confession is so sweet! Lin Gui is blushing. It's pure love.

{On the first day alone, I've already shipped several couples; they're such a perfect match! I hope they end up together.}

Lin Guiyi managed to bring the atmosphere back on track, and everyone burst into laughter as they continued their conversation.

As Lin Guiyi lay in bed, his stiff muscles relaxed, his eyes fixed on the ceiling. Gu Qingye's words flashed through his mind. Lin Guiyi didn't believe Gu Qingye's talk of affection; it was probably just a casual remark.

[Hey, mistress, could you send me a message?]

[Crying, host doesn't love me anymore, we're so distant.]

[Don't pretend] Lin Guiyi pouted. This system is getting more and more outrageous.

In a villa in Beijing, a man stares intently at a message on his phone.

Be careful of those around you, be aware of potential accidents.

A short sentence, yet it contained profound meaning. The man's mind raced with thoughts: was it his enemy's doing, or his friend's?

Time slips away quietly, today becomes yesterday, and we've arrived at the second day of the dating reality show.

Everyone got up early and sat on the sofa, waiting for the director's instructions.

The task for this event involved the production team preparing materials, and the guests creating a handicraft based on those materials. Afterwards, a teacher would evaluate the creations, and the guest with the highest evaluation would receive the freedom to choose to go on a date, while the other guests would continue to rest at the villa.

The staff led the guests to the courtyard.

Lin Guiyi rested his chin on his hand, staring blankly at the materials in front of him. What should he do? His mind was a jumbled mess, devoid of any ideas.

"Got an idea?"

The sudden sound startled Lin Guiyi. "Oh no, I'm going to die!" she thought, patting her chest to calm herself. Lin Guiyi looked up and saw Gu Qingye. Seeing her brought back memories of yesterday, and a blush crept onto her cheeks. "Not yet," she said awkwardly, "haha, I was just thinking about it. You have an idea now?"

The girl in front of him was embarrassed and unnatural, her hands moving unconsciously. Gu Qingye smiled helplessly: "Guiyi, relax. This is just my opinion. It's up to you. We're still friends now."

Seeing that the other party was being so direct, Lin Guiyi calmed down and faced Gu Qingye with composure: "Okay, let's make this clear beforehand, I'm against marriage." Lin Guiyi wasn't lying; she could date, but marriage was out of the question, and she would never depend on a man.

Gu Qingye raised an eyebrow and nodded with a smile.

Lin Guiyi and the other party then discussed their respective ideas, with Lin offering inspiration to the other.

Lin Guiyi was getting bored doing the same thing over and over again. He figured he should have some gossip to eat at this moment.

[Mistresses, let's get some gossip.]

[Wow, host, whose is it?] The system was very excited that its host was so enthusiastic.

Lin Guiyi thought for a moment, and a certain person's gaze flashed through his mind. [Then let's go with Jin Lanlan. Her gaze seemed strange earlier.]

We're about to witness another round of gossip; excitement and anticipation fill everyone's hearts.

The filming crew's eyes lit up. They had heard Lin Guiyi's thoughts yesterday, but due to the location, they couldn't hear them up close. Now they were filming right in front of her, and they were overjoyed.

The director watched all this quietly. He had heard about Lin Guiyi from his friend, a talent show director, before, so he knew about her special qualities. He invited Lin Guiyi to participate in the show because he valued her special qualities and hoped that she could bring unexpected surprises to the program.

[Little Three, read it aloud, host, I still need to do some crafts.]

Okay, watch me.

System sound came.

[Plastic surgery! Jin Lanlan's face is completely unrecognizable; it looks like she had no plastic surgery at all.]

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Jin Lanlan. With her delicate features and fair complexion, it was indeed impossible to tell that she had undergone plastic surgery. They wondered which doctor she was.

The staff were even more shocked by the news. Jin Lanlan claimed to have never had any plastic surgery, and she marketed her natural face online. Her fans were very proud of it. If this news got out, everyone would be shocked.

Jin Lanlan froze the moment she learned Lin Guiyi was going to interfere in her life, her hands working numbly. Everyone's gaze was like needles. She wanted to stop him, looking up at the director in front of her. The director's sharp eyes were fixed on her, the meaning clear. "Ha," Jin Lanlan scoffed. What could she do? The cameras were rolling. Besides… Jin Lanlan glanced around; Gu Qingye and Yan Cigui had arrived early, just to prevent her from doing anything.

Jin Lanlan knew she was finished. She glanced in a certain direction and suddenly smiled slowly. It was not bad to have someone with her.

[Back then, her family was poor, so Jin Lanlan went out to work to earn money for plastic surgery. After earning some money, she went to a famous plastic surgery country and had some procedures done first. After that, whenever she earned money, Jin Lanlan would go back for more plastic surgery. After several difficult years, she finally became what she looks like now.]

[Why did she get plastic surgery? With that kind of determination, she'd succeed at anything.]

[Oh, so it's because of her parents. When she was little, her family was poor, her mother was sick and they had no money. When they borrowed money, they were looked down upon. Her father was getting old. These things were deeply rooted in Jin Lanlan's young heart, and she vowed that she must make money, make a lot of money. The glamorous celebrities on TV were the rich people she admired.]

Knowing all this, Lin Guiyi admired the other person greatly; she wouldn't have had the courage. As for doing things to make money, Lin Guiyi didn't think it was wrong. As long as it didn't cross that line, she respected all other methods because she couldn't do them.

Memories from the past were stirred up and surfaced in Jin Lanlan's mind as she recalled them.

As a child, Jin Lanlan lived with her parents in a house of less than 20 square meters. Two small beds took up most of the room, one for her parents and one for herself, with a cloth hanging between them by an electric rope as a screen. The kitchen was located at the foot of the bed. The small room was fully utilized, leaving a path for one person to walk through.

The family of three lived in this house for many years. They would sit on the bed to eat and chat about the little things that happened during the day. It was an ordinary, warm, and beautiful life.

But Jin Lanlan's eyes dimmed, and she increasingly didn't want to go back to that time. Just as Lin Guiyi had said, she didn't want to return to that impoverished and helpless period. Now, she had bought a big house for her parents, and they could now enjoy collecting rent every day, traveling everywhere, and living a carefree life.
