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

With encouraging looks from the two people on either side, Yuan Xin forced herself to speak: "I'm just... I'm still a little unwilling."

As soon as those words left her lips, she realized that some things weren't as difficult to say as she had imagined, and the rest of her speech flowed smoothly: "So many years of relationship, ending just like that, it would be a lie to say I'm not hurt at all. But I really didn't expect it to end like this, I thought, I thought..."

Her words stirred up memories buried deep in Shi Wanmeng's mind. Had she felt the same way back then? It wasn't that she couldn't accept breaking up, but this reason made her years of relationship seem ridiculous.

With a deep sigh, Shi Wanmeng patted her back and whispered, "It'll be alright in the past."

Yuan Xin's voice choked with emotion: "I wanted to go there too, but I never expected him to be in front of me every day now."

Shi Wanmeng: "..."

Right.

“Yes, this guy really has no sense of propriety at all,” Su Muqing said indignantly. “I really want to throw him far away.”

Yuan Xin: "?"

You seem angrier than I am.

Shi Wanmeng quickly picked up the conversation, afraid that she might have let something slip: "So what are you going to do next? Do you want to forgive him?"

Yuan Xin looked confused and murmured, "I...I don't know."

Thinking about Yuan Xin's future, Shi Wanmeng didn't want to see this gentle girl follow the same path, so she said seriously, "I'm the kind of person who always advises separation rather than reconciliation."

"what?"

“In my eyes, a leopard can’t change its spots. Once it does, it will do it again,” Shi Wanmeng continued, amidst the shocked gazes of the other two. “So, instead of making yourself so unhappy, it’s better to let that bastard get lost.”

The people in front huddled together, whispering, but the movie's sound drowned out their words, so the viewers in the live stream couldn't hear what they were saying. However, when Shi Wanmeng said her last sentence, she couldn't control her voice, and just as the movie was playing and the main character was sleeping, it suddenly became quiet. Her words were heard clearly by everyone in the live stream.

Holy crap, what kind of queenly remarks are these?

【】

I think I can guess what they're secretly talking about.

[I've become a fan now! That's exactly how it should be. You can't be indecisive in relationships. You can't stay with a jerk like that. He should be kept away.]

I don't understand why she's meddling in other people's relationships.

[The person above is hilarious! Yuan Xin herself has no objections, so why are you in such a hurry?]

Those who are jumping up and down are probably Zhou Ran's fans.

What? Zhou Ran has fans?

Shi Wanmeng's words silenced the air for a moment, and as the background music from the movie started playing again, the other two seemed to come to their senses.

Su Muqing observed Yuan Xin's expression and, seeing that she wasn't angry, grabbed her arm and said excitedly, "Wanmeng is right, stay away from scumbags to stay safe. If you want to date, I can introduce you to some good ones... I know quite a few..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yuan Xin, her face flushed, covered his mouth.

"No, no," Yuan Xin awkwardly smoothed her hair, "I didn't really want to."

"That's fine then, just enjoy yourself. There are so many men out there, why get tied down to just one?"

After saying that, he winked at her with an ambiguous expression.

Yuan Xin's face turned bright red.

Shi Wanmeng immediately slapped him: "Don't talk nonsense, go find him yourself."

Then he turned to Yuan Xin and said, "Don't listen to her nonsense. Apart from that scumbag Zhou, everything else is up to fate."

"Hmph, where did I say anything wrong?" Su Muqing muttered under her breath, unconvinced.

[Ahhh, what are they talking about? I really want to know!]

We're all sisters, why are you being so formal? What's wrong with having one more person in the chat?

My heart is itching with longing.

[Was Yuan Xin blushing just now?]

Yes, you read that right, and they became incredibly famous.

Looking for a sister who can read lips to help me decipher this.

The live stream chat went on for a long time without reaching any conclusion. Soon, this part of their conversation was posted on Weibo by enthusiastic netizens. Apart from Shi Wanmeng's crystal-clear sentence, everyone zoomed in on the other parts of the video, studying their lip movements and expressions. Before long, it became a trending topic, and even casual viewers joined in the decryption session.

However, after much discussion, no consensus has been reached.

In countless interviews that followed, many people tried to uncover the truth indirectly, but all three involved in the incident remained tight-lipped about their conversations. This made the incident another key subject in the study of love cryptography, known as the Seaside Villa Audio-Visual Room Incident.

Of course, Shi Wanmeng's words were not spared either, and were singled out and put on trial on various platforms. Most of the comments supported her and even helped her gain a large number of fans. The few remaining discordant comments were quickly drowned out by Chi Yun's marketing efforts.

After dinner, the director announced that tomorrow morning would be the reward session for the top three today. The rest of the time was up to everyone, and they could ask their crushes out on a date or stroll on the beach.

"Wanmeng, shall we go for a walk together later?"

Hearing Su Muqing's question, Huang Chen, who was standing to the side, also perked up his ears.

"No, I'm joining the production team in a few days, and I need to memorize the script tonight."

Su Muqing patted her shoulder with a sympathetic look: "Hey, you've had a tough time."

Hearing that she would have to memorize the script herself that night, Huang Chen lowered his head in disappointment. Then, as if remembering something, he cleared his throat and said, "Um, do you need any help?"

"What?" Shi Wanmeng didn't understand what he meant for a moment.

"It's just to help you rehearse your lines."

Shi Wanmeng's expression was complicated: "My scenes with the female lead in the early episodes are all with her, so there's no need for you to... go to your trouble."

Bai Zhu chuckled and looked at Huang Chen, saying, "How about we go for a walk, or you can rehearse some lines with me?"

They spoke softly, but their words clearly concealed a strong desire to stir up trouble.

Hearing this, Huang Chen, who was already quite unhappy, smiled strangely and said, "Okay, let's go for a walk."

Now it was Bai Zhu's turn to be stunned.

【? ? ? 】

[Another strange pairing has emerged.]

Not surprising at all; I invested in them when they had their gym showdown last time.

[Ahhh, friends, investing in this is definitely worthwhile! The door to our Chenzhu Zai Xiong CP is always open!]

Okay, okay, I like it.

An image of herself and Huang Chen strolling on the beach automatically flashed into her mind, with moonlight streaming down and the sound of waves crashing in her ears. Hiss, Bai Zhu couldn't help but shiver.

"Um, I suddenly remembered I have something to do. Why don't you go for a walk with someone else?"

After saying that, Bai Zhu hurriedly returned to her room.

Watching his flustered back, Huang Chen smiled smugly. "Little brat, I can't handle you."
