The audience in the livestream was all scrambling to know what was happening.

【What exactly is happening?】

【No one passed by this corridor.】

【Upstairs, the corridors of this hot spring villa extend in all directions, so you can come here from other places as well.】

【Wuuuu! Seeing Xiao Wu’s eyes eating melon, I made this same sound of wanting to gossip! （Extremely loud）】

That’s right, Ning Xiaoyu chose A when the countdown was about to end.

C would have been fine, but unfortunately, she’s holding a cantaloupe in her hand, making it sticky. It was inconvenient to hold her mobile phone.

As for option B, she had seen green tea before and also knew what it was. However, why did she have to make things difficult for the socialite? Why harm each other? It’s so troublesome.

After glancing at the socialite, according to the options, Ning Xiaoyu looked at Lu Jingdu questioningly（gossiply）.

No wonder people always say it’s human nature to gossip.

Even Ning Xiaoyu was no exception.

However, she restrained her curiosity and kept it at an appropriate level that would not be annoying.

Celebrities were used to seeing storms. Even when Ning Xiaoyu witnessed the confession, there was no embarrassment or panic on her face. After all, the only person there who could affect her mood was Lu Jingdu. But Lu Jingdu was even more surprised than she was, though his face remained expressionless.

If this unexpected appearance of Ning Xiaoyu hadn’t happened, this confession would probably have ended early.

Time seemed to stand still, and for a while, no one spoke.

At this time, Ning Xiaoyu lowered her head and took another bite of the cantaloupe. Confirming that the system’s task had been completed, she contentedly left without looking back.

The love system that had been rubbing its hands and waiting for sugar: “……”

The imagined scene of showing sovereignty did not appear, nor did ‘forcing back the love rival’, and the Main CP handing out sugar.

It was clear that the host was following all its options, so why was the result always different from what it imagined?

The love system fell into its daily dose of self-doubt and its small memory couldn’t help but crash.

It now wished that the host would give up making a choice and just accept the punishment directly.

The scripts were all certified by interstellar netizens and each one was super sweet, sure to satisfy its heart that was eager to eat sugar.

It’s a pity that the host didn’t play the cards according to what it wanted. She hasn’t received a punishment again since the last time she got one.

Ning Xiayu had finished the slice of cantaloupe and was looking around for a bin when a familiar deep voice suddenly came from behind her, “Here.”

Having said that, a hand with distinct joints pressed on a certain spot on the wall, and after a while, a robot came from around the corner.

The cleaning robot opened its chubby belly and signaled Ning Xiaoyu to throw the garbage in.

Ning Xiaoyu: “……”

She was the ignorant one.

After throwing away the trash, the two walked toward the communal hot spring in silence.

Ning Xiaoyu didn’t ask where the socialite went, nor did she ask about the outcome of the confession. Eating melon should be done in moderation. Moreover, she didn’t mean to gossip.

When she was about to walk into the hot spring area, Lu Jingdu spoke up, “I will not retract what I have said.”

He was probably telling her not to pay attention to what happened just now.

After all, everyone else seemed to disagree with his action, fearing that she would use him to get extreme benefits.

Ning Xiaoyu nodded. “Understood.” After saying so, she followed up with, “Actually, you have already fulfilled my request before. This matter can be forgotten.”

For Ning Xiaoyu, it didn’t matter if she had the movie king’s promise or not. From her point of view, Movie King = Trouble, and Movie King’s promise = Big trouble.

It’s possible that she had become a thorn in the side of others and an eyesore.

Moreover, she’s relying on the movie king to do tasks and get real money from the love system.

Saving people was voluntary and she didn’t think anything else was needed in return.

After she said that, Ning Xiaoyu strode forward without waiting for Lu Jingdu’s reply.

The program team arranged for two hot spring pools, one for male celebrities and one for female celebrities.

The two pools were very close to each other and they could see one another.

When Ning Xiaoyu went over, there were already three people in the female pool, and Ning Yuwei happened to be among them. Even though Ning Yuwei didn’t like Ning Xiaoyu, she wouldn’t do anything in front of the live audience to avoid damaging her reputation.

Where there were female stars, there was always an invisible ‘bloody storm’, and of course, the same was true for male stars. There were only so many resources, so how could they make the audience like them if they didn’t work hard? How could they get brands to notice them?

Therefore, celebrities have always been conscious of their appearance and strive to look their best in front of the audience.

Ning Yuwei was wearing a new white and blue one-piece swimsuit from a certain big brand. It was neither too sexy nor tacky, nor too dull and old-fashioned. The color complemented her fair skin. And while quietly showing off her good figure, she could also show off her fair and good skin.

As for Mu Jiajia, to avoid clashing with Ning Yuwei, she wore something more ordinary. But no matter how ordinary it was, it’s still from a luxury brand, not a less-known one.

Lastly, there’s Xi Rui. As the oldest female guest, she was wearing a skirt-style swimsuit with wider sleeves in a pink, blue, and white color that suited her very well. This swimsuit was a three-piece set as a whole. The outermost gown could be taken off and the inside was a sexy strappy bra. However, she did not take off the gown.

As soon as Ning Xiaoyu came, the three female guests immediately set their eyes on her.

In the entertainment circle, the speed of new replacing the old wasn’t slow. In particular, Ning Xiaoyu has attracted many fans in a short period.

If in the beginning, they didn’t care about Ning Xiaoyu, now, they were more or less concerned about her movements.

Ning Xiaoyu, who was in the limelight, took off the white bathrobe she was wearing and her swimsuit was presented in front of everyone.

Black.

Short sleeved.

Sports swimwear.

The style was completely different from other female stars.

In the end, Xi Rui was the first to react, “Xiaoyu…… from which brand is your swimsuit?”

Upon hearing her question, Ning Xiaoyu casually replied, “From Xida.”

Xida? What brand was that? How come they have never heard of it before?

In the end, it was the numerous fans in the livestream who solved this confusion for them.

【Hahahaha, I know, I also have one from that brand. It’s cheap and comfortable to wear, a great value for money.】

【This is the first time I saw such a down-to-earth female celebrity. I’m a fan.】

【Wearing the same brand as me, rounding it up, aren’t I a female star too?】

【Xida needs to pay an advertising fee! Dog head.jpg】

Although Ning Xiaoyu was wearing an unknown brand in the eyes of female celebrities, and even if she was dressed in such an old-fashioned swimsuit, it still couldn’t hide her good figure.

Her skin was lined with black, making it appear fairer than Ning Yuwei’s.

Only then did the audience realize that although this unknown actress usually appeared lazy, never standing when she could lie down, and she seemed to not have much career ambition as she only lazed around all day long, she actually had the capital to be a celebrity.

There was no need to mention her figure and skin, audiences with eyes could see it. Looking at her facial features alone, she was actually not inferior to everyone else. It’s just that the bad haircut lowers her appearance.

【Crowdfunding a stylist to take care of Xiao Yu’s hair.】

【Seriously, a stylist who charges 30 yuan is better than the barber who cut Xiao Yu’s hair.】

Ning Xiaoyu didn’t have a stylist and only went to a random street barbershop to get her hair cut.

After a while, all twelve guests arrived at the hot spring pool.

But not all guests like to soak.

There were only seven guests in the pool and five of them didn’t even enter fully. The other five guests drank tea and ate fruit nearby, including Lu Jingdu, who was a bit obsessed with cleanliness.

Not long after, the director announced their mission for the day.

“As the show reaches its fourth day, I’m sure many of the guests must have already had a preliminary impression of each other, thus the next stage is to deepen it. Since the atmosphere is just right, guests can showcase their talents and present themselves in multiple ways so that the other guests and the audience can have a more comprehensive understanding of you.”

For some of the guests, even if they didn’t come to this variety show to make friends and only wanted to attract fans, it’s worth their effort to showcase themselves.

Ling Zige was the first to show off his talents. He had always been active, so he wouldn’t miss such an occasion.

What he performed was a small magic trick.

As he flicked his fingers nimbly, the cards that were faintly visible in his hand turned into a paper rose.

Then, amidst the cheerful laughter of the guests, he smiled and gave the red paper rose to Ning Yuwei.

And Ning Yuwei, who received it, naturally became the most talked about person in the audience. She smiled sweetly, raised her head slightly from the hot spring pool, and graciously reached out to accept the rose. “Thank you, Brother Ling.”

Ling Zige bent down and gave a gentlemanly reply, “As long as you like it.”

The paper rose was given to Ning Yuwei, so the next performer became her.

Since Ning Yuwei came to the Shen family in her teens, she has worked hard to learn a lot of things in order to keep up with Lu Jingdu. Among them, what she was best at was a dance that tested flexibility.

She rose from the hot spring pool and put on her robe without caring about the dripping water on her body.

Soon, she was dancing on the edge of the pool with her clean and small bare feet. She was like a white swan with her graceful and beautiful movements.

Even though she was only wearing a white robe, she jumped and twirled like she was on a magnificent stage wearing a lace princess dress, showing off her beauty to the fullest. She raised her head slightly, exposing her beautiful swan neck and letting her best features shine through.

The duration of this dance wasn’t long and was just several seconds.

Finally, when she stopped spinning, she faced Ning Xiaoyu who was still soaking in the hot spring pool.

Seeing Ning Xiaoyu, she smiled slightly. “It’s such a coincidence to be facing Teacher Ning. Then, let’s proceed with Teacher Ning’s performance.”

The moment Ning Yuwei’s words fell, the voice of the love system sounded again in Ning Xiaoyu’s ears,

【Ning Yuwei wants to suppress you and show off in front of the movie king. Of course, we can’t let the other party increase her popularity and destroy our own. We must subdue Ning Yuwei and show the movie king that you’re the most special one here! You can—

A: Dance the same dance as Ning Yuwei. With no comparison, there’s no harm. Leap up and make her ashamed of herself!

B: Perform an exclusively unique talent. Being unique is the best!

C: They performed magic trick and dance but you can pull the movie king to perform comedy dialogue together. Don’t follow the ordinary path!

Girl, go, go, go! Be the most eye-catching person to the audience!】

Ning Xiaoyu: “……”

Love System, so in your heart, I am so capable? Thank you so much for thinking highly of me!
