My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

An Youyu shook her head slightly, "I'm sorry, I choose Leng Wanwan."

This unexpected turn of events left host He Shui in a bind. He quickly stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Brother Ran, since contestant An Youyu doesn't want to team up with you, she'll have to team up with Leng Wanwan. Does Sister Leng have any objections?"

"No."

Leng Wanwan smiled broadly, raising her hands, "I couldn't be happier to team up with the first perfect scorer of the Xia Dynasty."

He Shui smiled and nodded, then winked at Wang Ruran, "Brother Ran, you can only team up with Lin Mo now, you have no other choice."

Wang Ruran opened his mouth, about to say something, but before he could speak, Lin Mo spoke up first, "Teacher Wang, I'm really sorry, this matter is ultimately my fault. Before the recording, I asked An Youyu not to team up with men because I'm a bit jealous and don't like my girlfriend teaming up with other men. Please forgive me."

The moment the term "girlfriend" was uttered, a chorus of groans erupted from the audience.

"No, why?"

"Exactly, what makes Lin Mo so special?"

"That's right, he's just a little more handsome, a little more talented, and from a better family than us. Other than that, what makes him better than us? How did Goddess An become his girlfriend? I don't accept it!"

"I don't accept it either!"

"I really want to laugh, acting like he's begging for everyone's approval!"

...

Wang Ruran couldn't help but laugh after hearing Lin Mo's explanation.

In this situation, Lin Mo actually dared to admit that he was jealous, not caring about saving face at all. What else could he say?

"Alright, then we'll have to team up. But I have to make this clear from the start: I'm determined to win the championship, so you can't hold me back."

Wang Ruran smiled mischievously, "If I don't win the final championship, you'll have to pay me fifty million!"

As soon as these words were spoken, laughter rang out again.

Lin Mo curled her lip and glanced at Wang Ruran indifferently, "Teacher Wang really has a big face!"

Wang Ruran didn't care and said with a smile, "Don't worry about whether I'm shameless or not, you have to do your best. I won't say the championship, but you should at least make it to the top four, right?"

"The semi-finals?"

Lin Mo smiled, thought about it seriously for a moment, and nodded, saying, "I can't guarantee the championship, but the semi-finals are still possible."

"Shh..."

Boos erupted from the audience.

Lin Mo smiled and didn't say anything more.

At this point, the celebrity teams and members of the Dragon and Phoenix List have all been formed.

He Shui stepped to the front of the stage and announced loudly, "This concludes the first episode of 'Dragon and Phoenix Splendor.' We will now proceed with commercial breaks. Thank you to Moyu Technology for their generous support of this program."

The moment He Shui's voice rang out, a short advertisement appeared on the big screen.

In the scene, heavy snowflakes are falling from the sky.

An Youyu, dressed in a white dress, was like a snow fairy. Her skin was so white that she almost blended into the surrounding environment. Her long black hair fluttered in the wind, and snowflakes fell on her shoulders and hair, perfectly embodying the word "beautiful".

Then Lin Mo appeared, presenting her with a portable air conditioner. A scene flashed by showing a series of sci-fi components being assembled. An Youyu, who was shivering from the cold, now had a visibly flushed blush on both sides of her cheeks.

The entire short advertisement contained no dialogue, and at the end, it left two lines of large text.

Technology changes lives; portable air conditioners are an essential winter necessity.

Inkfish Technology's technological products.

The recording has now completely ended.

The audience members were completely bewildered. Wait, such a big variety show only has one advertiser?

Moreover, they had never heard of this advertiser before. What was this "Inkfish Technology"? What was this "portable air conditioner"?

However, this short advertisement is really good. An Youyu is so beautiful and Lin Mo is so handsome. It doesn't feel like an advertisement at all, but rather like a high-quality youth art short film.

Lin Mo and An Youyu exchanged a smile.

After leaving the stage in turn, Lin Mo and An Youyu were blocked backstage by Leng Wanwan and Wang Ruran.

Leng Wanwan coughed, "Brother Wang, it's your turn to shine."

Wang Ruran rolled her eyes. "Sister Leng, we have the same goal, so why should I be the one to stick my neck out? I know the saying 'the nail that sticks out gets hammered down.' If anyone should speak, it should be you. You're more famous than me."

Leng Wanwan chimed in, "I'm more popular than you, so naturally I'll be the last one to appear."

Wang Ruran: "..."

Lin Mo was utterly speechless at their conversation. "Do you two have something to say? If not, please step aside. There's an old saying in our Xia Kingdom."

He didn't say those words aloud; as the saying goes, one should only speak three-tenths of what is said, leaving the rest for the two of them to figure out themselves.

Wang Ruran looked puzzled. "What ancient saying? Tell me."

Leng Wanwan looked at him strangely, "Lin Mo, you wouldn't be thinking... that a good dog doesn't block the way, would you?"

"No."

Lin Mo shook his head repeatedly, "I didn't mean to say that. Both of you are top-tier celebrities. I don't have that kind of courage. Of course, if you insist on thinking that way, then there's nothing I can do."

Leng Wanwan: "..."

Wang Ruran: "..."

Good guy!

They exclaimed, "Wow!"

Standing next to Lin Mo, An Youyu secretly nudged him from behind and gave the two teachers an apologetic smile, "Is there something you need, teachers?"

At such close range, Leng Wanwan could feel An Youyu's breathtaking beauty even more clearly. She couldn't help but gasp and took a step forward, casually taking An Youyu's arm. "Little sister, from now on we're teammates. Don't you think we should add each other on WeChat and follow each other on social media?"

An Youyu nodded slightly with her chin. "It's my pleasure."

As she spoke, she habitually touched the hem of her skirt, only then realizing that she was wearing an evening gown with no pockets. She smiled apologetically, "If you're free, Sister Leng, you can come and sit in our dressing room for a while."

"I can't ask for it."

Leng Wanwan had been waiting for An Youyu to say those words, and her face was beaming with joy.

This scene left Lin Mo feeling utterly helpless.

As expected of his little fish, this kind of charm... is simply irresistible.

Wang Ruran seized the opportunity to interject, "Count me in, Lin Mo and I are teammates too."

After saying that, he winked at Lin Mo, showing absolutely no airs of a top-tier celebrity.

Lin Mo rubbed his forehead and reluctantly nodded, "This way, please, both of you."

After the four of them arrived at the No. 1 VIP dressing room, An Youyu poured a glass of water for the two of them, then sat down next to Lin Mo and smiled politely, "Sister Leng, where's your phone? I'd like to add you on WeChat. I've already followed you on Jiaoke."

"Okay, okay."

Leng Wanwan quickly took out her phone and added An Youyu on WeChat. Her smile widened, and she clicked her tongue and said, "Little sister, you are so beautiful."

"Sister Leng is also very beautiful."

An Youyu was already adept at handling such polite remarks.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ruran took out her phone and waved it in front of Lin Mo, saying, "Lin Mo, you're very handsome."

Lin Mo: "..."

No, is this how you chat?

If Wang Ruran weren't a top-tier celebrity, he really wouldn't bother with this guy.

Seeing that Lin Mo remained unmoved, Wang Ruran repeated, "Lin Mo, I said you're very handsome."

"Ok, I know."

"..."

Lin Mo's response made Wang Ruran's eyes widen. "Huh? Normally, after I complimented you on your looks, shouldn't it be your turn to compliment me?"

Lin Mo rolled his eyes. "Handsome, handsome, handsome! You're handsome too, are you satisfied now?"

"It's alright, but it's a bit perfunctory."

Wang Ruran gave her evaluation seriously, then shook her phone again, "What are you still standing there for? Add me on WeChat, let's connect and follow each other!"

Lin Mo: "..."

Not to mention him, even Leng Wanwan, who came with Wang Ruran, couldn't stand it anymore. "Brother Wang, you say others are being perfunctory, but aren't you being perfunctory too? You want to add Lin Mo on WeChat, make friends and follow each other, can't you use your own methods to achieve your goal? What kind of behavior is copying homework?"

Wang Ruran blinked, "Copying homework...is it illegal?"

Leng Wanwan: "..."

After giving Wang Ruran a big eye roll, she smiled apologetically at Lin Mo, "Sorry, that's just Wang's personality. He's a well-known rascal in the entertainment industry."

"What old rascal?"

Wang Ruran was very dissatisfied with his nickname and declared confidently, "I've only just turned forty this year, and I'm still in my prime. How can I be an old rascal?"

Leng Wanwan shrugged. "Why are you telling me this? I didn't give you the nickname 'Old Rascal'."

Wang Ruran said angrily, "Don't let me find out who it is, or I'll kill him!"

Three people: "..."

He swears so easily, what a top-tier celebrity!

"Lin Mo, what are you still standing there for? Add me on WeChat, let's become friends and follow each other."

Wang Ruran urged, "Let me tell you, I rarely add people on WeChat first. I'm giving you face, so you have to accept it."

Lin Mo looked at Wang Ruran with a half-smile, "What if I don't want it?"

"don't want?"

Wang Ruran stood up abruptly, "Not wanting it means you're not giving me, Wang, any face."

Lin Mo's smile held a hint of amusement. "So what if I don't give you face?"

Wang Ruran's momentum instantly vanished. "If you don't give me face, I'll lose face."

After saying that, she blinked pitifully.
