Ning Xiaoyu came and went quietly, leaving the audience confused.

Her actions were quite ordinary in her own eyes. Ten minutes later, the task was completed so she cleared away the melon seed shells and left, it was as simple as that. However, for the audience, it was a bit uncomfortable.

They’ve been waiting for a long time to see some development, but they never saw any.

They thought Ning Xiaoyu was a scheming b*tch who came to rub off on the movie king’s popularity, but in the end, she didn’t act according to their expectations.

They thought she would stay for a little longer, but after eating two handfuls of melon seeds, she left the place as it was, as if she hadn’t been there at all.

In short, she made people guess what trick she was playing.

This eighteenth-line actress was…… quite unique.

After leaving the lounge, the ‘quite unique’ Ning Xiaoyu realized that the love system seemed to have been silent for a long time. But she didn’t care either.

She didn’t know that the love system was all about eating sugar, but in the end, it didn’t get any sweetness, only a mouthful of melon seed shells, and now, it’s still doubting life with a confused expression.

Ning Xiaoyu discovered that after completing the task, there was something extra in the upper right corner of the interface. Where there was no text before, it now shows 〖Love Value: 1〗. Not only that, there was an extra mall icon beside it.

So, what would be inside the mall?

She kept muttering ‘money, money, money’, in her mind as she opened the mall with anticipation.

Whoa.

This time, the love system did not disappoint her. The love value could really be exchanged for something she urgently needed in reality. If this was the case, she could stop worrying so much about her father’s hospital bill.

She didn’t know that not long after she left, the person taking a nap in the lounge soon opened his eyes.

They were clear and there’s not much drowsiness in them at all.

The young man leaning against the wall was blessed with good looks and had an elegant and gentlemanly demeanor. He had an unparalleled status in the entertainment circle and was sincerely loved by a myriad of fans.

Heaven seems to favor this movie king, giving him many things that other people couldn’t ask for. Only rarely does anyone notice the indifference and disregard beneath his impeccable attitude.

The afternoon sunlight danced and fell on the bottom of his eyes, and as he lowered them, they inadvertently revealed a hint of emptiness.

【Did Brother have a good rest?】

【Brother, just now there’s an 18^th-line actress who was eating Melon! Seeds! next to you! She actually resisted your beauty and didn’t covet you! If it were me, I would definitely not be able to resist!】

【That 18^th-line actress is really amazing. She didn’t even make a sound when cracking open melon seeds!】

【Moreover, she ate so many!】

At this time, the staff who arrived late apologized to Lu Jingdu. “Apologies, due to staff error, this room has been streaming live just now. Has it affected your sleep? How about changing to another room to continue your rest?”

Lu Jingdu came down from the bay window. He was very tall, roughly over 1.85 meters tall. With a golden ratio figure, every part of him looked perfect.

“No need.”

Even his voice was charming.

Seeing that he was about to walk out and knowing that the other party hadn’t seen the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room, the staff cautiously said from behind, “While you were resting just now, a guest also came in. But she only stayed here for about ten minutes and left soon after. Do you mind?

That guest is—”

Lu Jingdu shrugs it off. “It doesn’t matter.” He said, not waiting for the staff to say who it was before quickly stepping away.

For him, it made no difference whether he knew the other person’s name or not.

Anyway, in his world, there were only two types of people— himself and others.

———pr


After Ning Xiaoyu returned to her room, she quickly collapsed on the bed like a salted fish pancake.

Rest time always passed quickly and in a few minutes, it was time for dinner.

Probably because today was the show’s first day of recording, the program team specially prepared a sumptuous dinner for the guests. In other words, they didn’t need to cook by themselves tonight and could just eat the ready-made food.

When Ning Xiaoyu arrived downstairs, some of the middle seats were already occupied. The table was long and could accommodate fourteen people, which was more than enough for the twelve guests.

She noticed that the seat in the very center was still vacant, probably reserved for a certain movie king. As for the opposite seat, it was taken by Ning Yuwei.

As a rich socialite, the other party could be said to be like a fish in water on this kind of social occasion.

Everyone revolved around Ning Yuwei, chatting enthusiastically.

After Ning Xiaoyu arrived, she sat down on the furthest seat without any intention of interrupting at all.

【Does this 18^th-line actress have social anxiety?!】

【I can see myself in her, hhh.】

【Hahaha, she’s quite conscious and took the initiative to sit on the farthest side.】

Had Ning Xiaoyu seen these comments, she would have replied, “Not social anxiety, I’m just a salted fish. I’m too lazy to bother.”

After waiting for a while, the director finally said, “Everyone can have their dinner. Movie King Lu has something else to do so he won’t be coming.”

Upon learning that the movie king was absent again for the first dinner of the guests, the audience was filled with regret, while the other guests had mixed expressions.

Ning Xiaoyu didn’t think much of it. Not needing to participate in group activities— probably this was the privilege of a super big shot. After all, he was a well-known movie king, so being occasionally capricious was fine.

As a salted fish, Ning Xiaoyu just immersed herself in the delicious food.

During dinner, the director did not forget to remind, “Everyone, don’t forget to send a good night message to the guest you want to make friends with. In theory, the guests you send messages every day can be irregular, but in this case, it will appear that your friendship is very plastic. Therefore, I personally suggest that you keep messaging the same person for three days. It’s not recommended that you send messages to multiple people at the same time. After all, even if it’s friendship, too many people in a relationship isn’t ideal.”

The recently popular pretty boy, Ling Zige, said with a smile, “Director, I am a faithful type, let alone three days, during the whole recording of the show, I will only send a message to one person.” After saying so, he winked at Ning Yuwei.

Ning Yuwei naturally didn’t say anything. She looks down on someone of Ling Zige’s caliber.

She, Ning Yuwei, either didn’t want it or if she did, she always wanted the best.

A second-line actress also smiled. “I’m more of a loyal person and only like one-on-one friendship.”

【Wow, so, who will send messages to whom tonight?!】

【I’m curious.】

【Ling Zige will send a message to Ning Yuwei without a doubt. What about the others?】

【Brother, why don’t you send a message to Xu Cheng? I’ll be jealous if Brother sends a message to a female guest!】

【Chill, Upstairs, it’s only a variety show for making friends. There’s nothing bad with mingling in the circle as having multiple friends means multiple paths.】

The dinner passed in such a lively manner.

Nothing happened during the meal, but when returning to her room, Ning Xiaoyu ‘coincidentally’ ran into Ning Yuwei.

It’s probably true that popularity could nurture people. As a popular actress, Ning Yuwei was much prettier than when she was a child and her temperament has also changed a lot.

The other party’s peach blossom eyes, which resembled their mother’s, were just as proud as the latter, and she carried a hint of conceitedness and pride of a socialite.

Upon seeing her, Ning Yuwei’s eyes squinted in a smile. “Sis^[1]older sister, I heard that you’ve been struggling with your funds recently. Do you need me to lend you some money?” She sighed softly and continued, “You know that I’ve made quite a lot in recent years. Plus my dad is especially generous to me, so I have a lot of pocket money and I can’t spend it all. You can just tell me how much you need, I’m sure I have as much.”

The ‘dad’ that Ning Yuwei speaks of was naturally her stepfather.

Her biological father was still lying on the hospital bed, unconscious.

Ning Xiaoyu considered her and Ning Yuwei’s sisterly bond to be gone for a long time. She casually said “No need”, and speedily left.

From behind came Ning Yuwei’s seemingly innocent sigh. “Sis, you really don’t need to be polite to me.”

Ning Xiaoyu’s footsteps paused slightly before continuing.

After returning to her room, Ning Xiaoyu stared blankly at the card containing all the guests’ phone numbers.

To get generous pay from the program team, she naturally needed to cooperate with every task of this variety show.

It’s just……

Who should she send a good night message to?

【Love System: Is that still a question? Of course the movie king!】 Such good timing, how could she not interact with him?

The love system that had been lurking in the background suddenly surfaced, sounding expectant.

Do it so I can ship right away!

Naturally, Ning Xiaoyu wouldn’t listen to the love system.

She didn’t want to have any involvement with that big shot outside the task.

It’s not like she’s tired of living, attracting trouble for herself.

Soon, she had chosen someone.

She picked a relatively low-key third-line actress named Shen Yueyue.

《Hi, My Friend》 was a friendship variety show and it seemed pretty good if she could really gain a friend there.

She had been in the circle for a few years and had a few friends. However, she was usually busy making money, so she couldn’t form a deep connection with anyone.

The actress she picked had a good reputation in the industry and Ning Xiayu heard that the other party had a trustworthy character. As a matter of fact, Ning Xiaoyu had also followed a lot of the other party’s work. To be honest, the other party’s acting skills were quite good. In Ning Xiaoyu’s opinion, Shen Yueyue was much better than other starlets. However, the other party was a bit short of luck and never had a big hit.

Even so, being a third-line actress was still much better than an eighteenth-liner.

With that in mind, Ning Xiaoyu quickly sent a good night message to the other party.

After doing so, Ning Xiaoyu left the task alone. As for whether she would receive a message tonight, she didn’t care. In a variety show where one could make friends freely, there would always be those who wouldn’t be selected. Only this time, she would probably be included in that category. But salted fishes have big hearts, so it’s not a problem.

Seeing that Ning Xiaoyu didn’t send a good night message to the movie king, the love system shut itself down.

If it had a physical body, Ning Xiaoyu would have seen how aggrieved it was.

It was devoted to eating sugar but it hasn’t gotten anything so far. The love system expressed that life was too difficult.

And so…… in a short period, Ning Xiaoyu received a second love task.

【Girl, it’s a good time to get closer to the movie king in the stillness of the night. Right now, you can send a message to him and enter his inner world. You can send——

A: Babe, my heart has silently cheated.

B: Tonight, your head is a bit green^[2]cuckolded.

C: Babe, even though I sent a good night message to another, I still love you.】

Ning Xiaoyu: “???”

What the hell was this?!

This salted fish was tired.

Can she just simply destroy the system?
