Anything related to Gu Lan instantly exploded online.

As a well-known ice-cold goddess in the entertainment industry, she was already the center of much attention.

Now, with these sensitive topics, it skyrocketed straight to the top three trending topics in no time.

Li Liren had no idea that his shocking words would cause such a storm.

As he bent down to pick something up, his nose twitched — he smelled something odd.

Li Liren looked directly at Gu Lan in front of him and could tell that she was furious.

Had he known this would happen, he would’ve communicated with the production team better.

If they had cleared things up from the start, he wouldn’t have said the blunt truth.

But as a doctor, some things must be said.

“If you don’t want to get checked here, I suggest you visit a gynecologist.”

That sentence was like adding fuel to the fire, pushing Gu Lan to the brink of completely losing control.

“Quack! You quack! How many times do I have to say it? I’m not sick! Do you not understand human language?!” Gu Lan shrieked, throwing what he just picked up back on the ground.

Li Liren: “…” Being a decent human is really hard.

“Please don’t get agitated, let me explain…”

Gu Lan sneered coldly, “What’s there to explain?!”

Li Liren tried to patiently reason with her, “Because of female physiology, the private area is easily susceptible to infection — this is common knowledge. I strongly recommend you get a gynecological exam.”

Gu Lan’s fury erupted like a volcano, completely out of control.

“I’m not sick! I’m not sick!” she screamed hysterically. “Who paid you to come here and ruin me?!”

“I’m trying to help you — how is that ruining you?” Li Liren found her reaction baffling.

He patted his chest and declared earnestly, “Just get checked. If it turns out I misdiagnosed, I’ll come to you personally and apologize! I haven’t done a full examination, but based on your symptoms, I suspect it might be genital warts. Don’t shy away from treatment. Get it taken care of early.”

Gu Lan felt so triggered that her vision spun; she nearly fainted on the spot.

Bai Xiaoxian hurriedly asked, “Doctor, what’s genital warts?”

Li Liren replied, “It’s commonly known as HPV.”

Bai Xiaoxian nearly passed out in shock. “What the heck is HPV?”

From his expression, Li Liren could already tell he was thinking in the wrong direction.

“This is not the same as HIV, don’t misunderstand.”

But Bai Xiaoxian wasn’t even listening anymore. His face turned pale as he asked, “Is it contagious?!”

Li Liren quickly reassured him, “Relax, it’s primarily transmitted through sexual contact. You’ll be fine.”

Bai Xiaoxian momentarily forgot they were still filming. His legs went soft, and he clung to Li Liren’s leg.

Of course he wasn’t fine!

“Dr. Li, please check me too! What if I got infected?! Am I going to die?!”

Li Liren: “?”

Though confused, he still responsibly answered Bai Xiaoxian, “No, no. Don’t panic. As I said, it’s mainly transmitted sexually. You—”

Li Liren suddenly paused. He looked at Bai Xiaoxian, then at Gu Lan, and seemed to realize something.

“Oh… You two are a couple, right? Then yes, there’s a risk of transmission. Also, men’s physiology gives them a natural advantage — they can carry the virus without showing symptoms. If you’re still worried, go get checked with your girlfriend.”

Gu Lan swayed on her feet, her chest tight with pent-up rage and pain — she couldn’t even muster a rebuttal.

Bai Xiaoxian, that idiot! That absolute moron!

Ruan Li watched the scene in a daze and voiced the question on everyone’s minds: “Are you two dating?”

Surely not. They didn’t seem like a couple.

Gu Lan’s throat felt like it was being strangled. Just opening her mouth was like slicing it with razor blades — no sound came out.

The calmest person of all was Li Fan.

She already knew, so she wasn’t surprised.

After Bai Xiaoxian collapsed, Liang Kang couldn’t sit still either.

He wasn’t worried about himself, but what about Shen Yuwan later?

Without caring that they were still filming, he grabbed Shen Yuwan and tried to leave.

Shen Yuwan yanked her hand away, “What are you doing?!”

She came on this show to promote her jewelry brand.

As for Gu Lan’s mess, the bigger the scandal, the better the publicity. The more chaos, the more views.

She was inwardly thrilled — this show was definitely going to blow up.

Liang Kang was anxious, “I’m taking you to get a gynecological exam.”

Shen Yuwan’s face flushed red as she glared at him.

“Gu Lan is the sick one. Why should I get checked?!”

Liang Kang’s face turned grim. “This disease is contagious!”

Shen Yuwan scoffed, “Dr. Li said it’s sexually transmitted. I haven’t even—”

Before she finished, realization struck her. Her face changed drastically, and she slapped him hard across the face.

Ruan Li mumbled, “So… what does this have to do with Shen Yuwan if it’s contagious?”

Li Fan gave her a sympathetic look and consoled, “It’s okay if you don’t get it. Not everyone in the world has a brain.”

Ruan Li: “……”

【If I’m not mistaken, didn’t Liang Kang sleep with Gu Lan, then go to Shen Yuwan afterward? He’s the bridge between them?!】

【Holy crap, this circle is so messy! But wasn’t Gu Lan with Bai Xiaoxian?!】

【Let’s clarify: sleeping together doesn’t mean they’re in a relationship. It’s only the third day of the show and Gu Lan is already confirmed to be very sexually active.】

【So… one guest just dragged down three people? This show is cursed.】

【Someone take our Xiao Bai away! He’s single and just has normal needs. At worst, he was duped by Gu Lan. Why should he go down too?】

【Then Liang Kang shouldn’t count as ruined either. He’s single too, right? So everyone’s just friends-with-benefits. What’s the scandal?】

Ren Xuan looked at the director, unsure of what to do.

“Director, should we turn off the livestream? Or at least check online opinion first?”

The director sighed, “You and the assistant director hold the fort here — I’ve got something urgent.”

Ren Xuan: “What is it?”

“I’m going to the hospital for a checkup.”

Ren Xuan: “?”

And then she saw the director sneak over to Li Liren.

“Dr. Li, HPV really isn’t the same as HIV, right? Can you take a look at me too?”

Li Liren’s expression grew complicated. Bai Xiaoxian, Liang Kang… now even the director? His brain was about to fry.

“You’d better just go to the hospital.”

He needed a moment to sort this all out. These relationship entanglements were harder than diagnosing patients.

He originally came to promote traditional Chinese medicine. If he’d known, he never would’ve agreed to appear.

Ren Xuan had no choice but to follow the assistant director’s advice and shut down the livestream.

Once the livestream ended, the day’s filming wrapped. Everyone was free to move about.

But they were all off to the hospital or working on PR damage control — who had time to film?
