Reborn to bury love, I can reach for the stars.

"Gu Ling, is your foot better?" Li Zhao asked with concern when he saw the person who had been sitting silently in the corner.

There was a moment of silence. Gu Ling gritted her teeth, trying to force a smile. If someone else had asked her that question, she would have had to think it through, but since Li Zhao had asked it, she knew it meant no harm.

"What's going on with those two? Why haven't they arrived yet?" Su Muqing anxiously nudged Shi Wanmeng's arm beside her, her face full of worry.

In her past memories, Huang Chen and Xie Yunting had always been extremely punctual, almost never late. But what was going on today? The program had already started broadcasting live, but they were still nowhere to be seen, and Su Muqing began to feel uneasy.

She kept glancing towards the door, silently speculating on all sorts of possible reasons why they might be late. The more Su Muqing thought about it, the more anxious she became, and her brows furrowed tightly.

Shi Wanmeng frowned as well, but her worries were clearly different from Su Muqing's. Could it be that these two had gone off to do something big since they hadn't shown up yet?

However, the two didn't have to wait long. A moment later, the villa door opened again, revealing Huang Chen, tall and imposing, and Xie Yunting, with steady steps and elegant demeanor. The two walked side by side into the villa, clearly having dressed up carefully.

"Wow, handsome!" Upon seeing the newcomers, Bai Zhu stood up first, winking at the two of them: "You two showed up last, were you busy getting ready?"

Huang Chen smiled slightly and did not explain, "Indeed, some things took some time."

Xie Yunting simply nodded calmly.

With everyone gathered together, the show officially began.

"This is the last episode, and there aren't any special events," Director Wang appeared behind the camera and announced today's rules: "Everyone is free to move around now. The production team has prepared a lavish lunch for everyone at noon."

"Such a good thing?"

"How luxurious is it?"

"Haha, this is the last episode, finally they're being generous this time."

Upon hearing this, everyone on set started chatting, but Director Wang's face grew increasingly dark: "Ahem, our production team isn't that stingy, is it? Didn't we let you travel abroad last time?"

It would have been better if he hadn't spoken up, because once he did, everyone started complaining again, leaving him no chance to get a word in edgewise.

Hahaha, this is hilarious!

[This is the last episode, so I'm not hiding my resentment anymore.]

Yes, yes, I love watching this segment!

If this show gets a second season, maybe they could increase the budget, hahaha!

Exactly, they're making a killing, with so many advertising sponsorships!

[At this moment, Brother Bai is channeling his working-class spirit, hahaha!]

Seeing that the topic was getting more and more off track, Director Wang quickly raised his hand: "Okay, okay, we'll talk about this later. Let me finish what I have to say first."

Seeing that everyone had finally quieted down, Director Wang nodded in satisfaction: "You are free to choose this afternoon. Whether you want to confess your feelings, wait and see, or leave directly, it's all up to you until 8 p.m.

"Of course, if the confession is successful, the production team will give you a special gift."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Zhu raised his right hand without hesitation. His bright eyes were fixed on Director Wang, and he asked impatiently, "Director Wang, could you give us a little hint about what kind of gift it is?"

However, facing the expectant and curious gazes of the crowd, Director Wang appeared unusually cold and indifferent. He slowly shook his head expressionlessly: "No, it's a secret!"

"Oh, and don't confess your feelings just for the sake of the final gift. Everyone, please do so from the heart," Director Wang quietly added, seeing Bai Zhu's eager expression.

Bai Zhu pursed her lips and put away her little thoughts.

After hearing Director Wang's words, everyone had different thoughts.

Gu Ling glanced furtively at the male guests, her eyes filled with complex emotions. She knew from the last episode that she had no chance; if she confessed again today, she'd only become a laughingstock online. The only possible candidate was the kind-hearted Li Zhao, but what if he rejected her too? She'd be finished in the entertainment industry.

Su Muqing leaned close to Shi Wanmeng's ear and whispered, "Who do you think will confess their feelings today?"

Shi Wanmeng smiled and said, "It's hard to say."

Yuan Xin's expression remained unchanged since she entered, indicating that she had already made up her mind.

Seeing that no one was speaking, Shi Wanmeng nudged Su Muqing, and the two of them tacitly took out several small packages from their bags: "Here, these are the gifts we picked out for everyone yesterday. They are all small ornaments. We hope you like them."

"You guys have prepared so much!" Su Yao said, taking the little rabbit from the bag with a look of delight. "It's so cute!"

Yuan Xin took the giraffe and couldn't put it down: "Where did you buy it? It's so exquisite."

Wow, so cute!

[Huang Chen got a cat, hahaha]

[Is that a peacock?]

【Huh, Lu Ye has one too?】

What are you thinking up there? We're all decent people, how could we not give them a gift?

[Hahaha, are you two doing this on purpose? Bai Zhu's is a puppy!]

[This is so cute! All-knowing netizens, please tell me how to buy the same one?]

I bought it yesterday, so I should be able to see it when the platform releases yesterday's episode.

【Aaaaaah, tomatoes, hurry up!!!】

Stepping back into this familiar villa, a strange feeling welled up inside me, as if time had reversed, instantly transporting me back to the summer months ago when we first met.

At that time, everyone's face was filled with curiosity and anticipation, and no one knew what the future held.

At that moment, everyone in the room was chatting enthusiastically, their laughter echoing like a joyful and exciting symphony reverberating in every corner of the room. Suddenly, a burst of laughter broke the rhythm—Su Yao, for some reason, suddenly covered her cheeks with her hands, lowered her head, and chuckled softly.

Upon seeing this, everyone stopped talking and turned their gazes to her.

Su Yao was laughing while gently rubbing her stomach, looking both cute and somewhat comical.

Seeing everyone looking at her, she quickly waved her hand, trying to stop laughing, and said, "Oh, don't mind me, you guys keep chatting." After saying that, she even winked playfully.

"Why are you laughing like that?" Bai Zhu leaned over, wanting to pat her back, but to his surprise, Su Yao laughed even harder when he spoke.

Bai Zhu: ?
