Lu Liruan was naturally happy that her wish had been fulfilled. As long as Cheng Nianzhi stayed as far away from the female lead as possible, their relationship wouldn't develop so quickly.

Lu Liruan did not intend to make Cheng Nianzhi dislike Shi Jingyun. After all, from the perspective of the original timeline, Cheng Nianzhi was a very affectionate person who was willing to risk his life for the female lead. How could he give up so easily?

I just hope to separate Cheng Nianzhi and Shi Jingyun as much as possible. Sometimes, the butterfly effect means that even a small change can lead to a very different outcome.

Four cars drove up, and the guests got into the cars in pairs, according to their assigned partners.

Lu Liruan rolled down the car window with great interest, but seeing that Lu Zheng and Lin Qianyou on the other side were both dissatisfied, she had no choice but to put on an ugly smile.

"Bang." The car door closed, and Lu Liruan felt the space next to her sink in. She smelled a faint, refreshing scent, like the scent of grass that has been snapped.

It doesn't smell like perfume; perfume doesn't have such a subtle scent.

Turning her gaze away, Lu Liruan gave Cheng Nianzhi a bright smile. Who doesn't love looking at a handsome guy? And from what she could see, he seemed to have a very good personality.

"Miss Lu..."

"Just call me Lu Liruan." Lu Liruan blinked.

"Li Ruan." Cheng Nianzhi smiled as well, appearing even more gentle and refined as she got closer.

Lu Liruan overlooked his act of omitting his surname without permission.

"Why did you choose me?" He tilted his head, a hint of confusion in his eyes. "I didn't listen to my agent..."

Lu Liruan waved her hand: "It was my idea. I thought being with you would get me more screen time..." Of course, she couldn't say that she was a professional demolition expert who came to destroy your budding romance.

Cheng Nianzhi was completely taken aback by the fact that someone would speak so frankly about such a thing. Before he could even react, Lu Liruan had completely taken control of the conversation.

Lu Liruan was very good at using her strengths. She lowered her head slightly and deliberately looked up at the person, saying, "I'm sorry, have I caused you any trouble..."

When reading Cheng Nianzhi's story, Lu Liruan's biggest feeling was that he was an incredibly gentle person, so gentle that it was almost unbelievable.

Sure enough, Cheng Nianzhi shook her head: "No, this show requires a partner. I'm not very good at communicating with people. I should thank Li Ruan for helping me out of that situation just now."

Lu Liruan seized the opportunity: "Yeah, it's really embarrassing if I'm never chosen. Sigh, I wish I hadn't taken this variety show, but I can't just not take it..."

Cheng Nianzhi followed her words and showed a puzzled expression.

"As an artist, I have no choice. I have to do whatever people ask me to do. If people want to see me make a fool of myself, I have no choice but to do it for them." She spoke lightly, with a hint of self-deprecation.

What Lu Liruan said wasn't the truth, but it wasn't a lie either.

She insisted on participating in the show herself, but in a shady agency, she really had no choice. Surely Cheng Nianzhi wouldn't ask the director how she got on the show, would she?

Cheng Nianzhi didn't expect the girl in front of him to be so honest. Everyone in the entertainment industry hides their true feelings and tries to be conspicuous, but she spoke so frankly.

Lu Liruan feigned pitifulness, but her mind raced. Seeing that Cheng Nianzhi had taken her words to heart, she continued to deceive him.

"We're all celebrities, who can really date in front of the camera? Rather than ending up with nothing, it's better to get more screen time!"

Celebrities don't date on camera, but I didn't say CEOs don't date on camera... Lu Liruan is very meticulous.

“Li Ruan is right.” Cheng Nianzhi nodded as Lu Li Ruan looked at him with a gaze that seemed to be seeking his approval.

"Right? I've told you everything the truth. Could you take pity on me in the future? If no one wants me, could you team up with me? I promise I won't hold you back!"

Lu Liruan raised her arm and clenched her small fist: "I'll lend you a hand and help you carve out a bloody path in the variety show!"

Cheng Nianzhi was amused by her, her eyes crinkling into a smile: "Oh? How can we carve out a path for ourselves in a dating reality show?"

Lu Liruan wasn't stumped by his question. She raised an eyebrow and said, "Since we're not planning on dating anyway, let's just be good working people. It's like a vacation. I heard there are a lot of competitive segments in the show. If we win, we'll get screen time and enjoy ourselves. What do you think?"

Looking into the girl's bright eyes, Cheng Nianzhi felt a little confused. How did the nature of the program suddenly change?

Moreover, her enthusiastic demeanor clearly indicated an invitation, and the way she looked at him was inexplicably fervent.

“But this is a dating reality show…” Cheng Nianzhi suddenly felt like teasing her and sighed softly.

"It's okay, as long as we play the game well and win, it's still contributing to the variety show!"

What contributions have you made?

"We need to show them through our actions that love alone can't sustain life. By adding some setbacks to their sweet romances, they can grow up stronger!"

This was the first time Cheng Nianzhi had heard someone speak of causing trouble and sabotage in such a natural and unconventional way.

"How about it, want to be a ruthless working person with me? If you agree, I promise you'll live a life of luxury and be happy every day~" Lu Liruan smiled, like a skilled kidnapper.

Cheng Nianzhi knew, of course, that all relationship reality shows had scripts and routines. He himself wasn't very interested in participating in the show, but compared to being forced into fast-paced idol dramas by his company, he preferred to participate in a variety show.

Cheng Nianzhi loves acting, but he is very picky about scripts. He considers a boring script to be a waste of his life.

"Okay, I believe Li Ruan." He smiled, suddenly feeling that the variety show wasn't so unbearable after all. He wanted to see what this girl would do...

He subtly traced the curve of Lu Liruan's lips with his gaze: her smile was so beautiful, so full of life, even the tips of her hair seemed to be beaming with enthusiasm.

Unlike myself, my smile looks like I'm wearing a stiff, inflexible mask.

Lu Liruan originally intended to use Cheng Nianzhi's gentle and soft-hearted nature to pave the way and find a good reason for her to get to know him later, but she didn't expect it to be simpler than she had anticipated.

What a kind and gentle person...

As Lu Liruan looked down at the group chat message sent by the director, she didn't notice the fleeting cold analysis in Cheng Nianzhi's eyes.

The director posted a screenshot of the number of viewers for the live stream in the group chat, which was more than expected. Lu Liruan checked her software and found that the part of her live stream where she was arguing face-to-face with Lu Zheng had the highest number of views.

Sure enough, the audience was all talk and no action; no one could resist the chaotic battleground!

Just as Lu Liruan was pondering how to keep everyone in her live stream, she suddenly heard Cheng Nianzhi ask softly from above, "Liruan, among the male guests, why did you choose me?"

Of course, it's because you're my target...

But Lu Liruan replied smoothly, "Because I feel a connection with you. The moment I saw you, I knew we'd get along!"

They are very adept at speaking to people in a human way and to ghosts in a ghost way, and they have a great understanding of the art of language and communication.

Lu Liruan gave herself a perfect score for the start of her actions, completely unaware that Cheng Nianzhi's gentle smile contained something else entirely.
