I put you on a dating reality show, but I didn't make you a viral sensation!

Because the camera has almost no blind spots, even if Jiang Muxue's movements are very subtle, they are still clearly projected into the live broadcast room.

Wait, something's not right with that look in his eyes.

[Beautiful lady, open your eyes! Lin Zhou is not good enough for you.]

【No way, you're blatantly lying, aren't you? What were you guys talking about just now?】

Aren't programmers supposed to be all straight men? Why does Lin Zhou seem to have pretty high emotional intelligence?

To be honest, knowing that Jiang Muxue is socially awkward, and taking the initiative to help her out of an awkward situation, really earns him points.

[Holy crap, no wonder I'm single. Lin Zhou figured that out in such a short time?]

[What a good man! But why do I still feel a little jealous?]

[I don't care, Lin Zhou, I'm going to kill you!]

Inside the control room.

Li Sujuan was surprised. She originally thought that Lin Zhou's status as a lucky guest might make it difficult for him to fit in with the other guests, but to her surprise, Lin Zhou not only integrated but also gained more and more attention on the show.

That's right, she felt that the other person and Jiang Muxue were getting a little too close.

Although they're only at the stage of making friends right now, they've gotten quite close compared to the other guests, and her best friend should have noticed that too.

She hesitated.

Lin Zhou and Jiang Muxue are currently the most popular pair on the show, and she really doesn't want to give up this free traffic.

But the key issue is that she doesn't know if her best friend agrees.

But what if...?

Never mind, I'll call and ask tonight.

If all else fails, just give Lin Zhou a gentle reminder.

I'm sure the other person will understand what she means.

Compared to the heated debate in the comments section, the atmosphere in the living room was relatively peaceful.

Su Man and the other woman did not delve further into this topic.

Before long, Jiang Yi greeted them.

"Dinner's ready! It took a while to prepare, everyone's probably alright, right?"

No, no.

Su Man immediately replied with a smile, "I can tell it's delicious just by the smell. Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Jiang."

"Indeed, just the smell makes my mouth water. We're in for a treat today."

"No, everyone deserves credit."

Jiang Yi was even more pleased by their compliments. He reached up and smoothed the stray hairs from his forehead, then pointed to each dish on the table and began to introduce them:

"This garlic-flavored lettuce is refreshing and perfect for cutting through the richness; for this stir-fried green peppers with shredded pork, I specifically chose pork tenderloin; and this main attraction, cola chicken wings, I simmered them for almost half an hour until the sauce was reduced just right; oh yes, and this stir-fried green beans are crisp and appetizing, I deliberately didn't overcook them to preserve their original crisp texture!"

Jiang Yi spoke with great enthusiasm, clearly very satisfied with his skills.

Four dishes and a soup in forty minutes is quite efficient.

Lin Zhou glanced at the dishes on the table. Apart from the green beans, the other dishes actually looked quite good.

I just don't know how it tastes.

Thinking this, he glanced at Jiang Muxue beside him without making a sound.

As if sensing his gaze, Jiang Muxue turned her head slightly, met his eyes, blinked gently, and shook her head very slightly, indicating that she remembered his reminder.

Once everything was ready, the guests eagerly took their seats.

They certainly looked hungry.

The tables provided by the production team were long tables, with the male and female guests seated separately on either side.

The seating arrangement was also casual; Lin Zhou and Jiang Muxue both tacitly chose the seats on the far side.

The way they sat down also revealed their respective professions.

People like Lu Xiao and Shen Jiashu don't pay much attention to details like their posture.

However, celebrities and artists like Jiang Yi and Xia Wanxing seem to care a lot about their image.

In the entertainment industry, celebrities' every move is trained. For example, the way they smile and how they present themselves in front of the camera are all trained by their management companies.

They know very well which part of their body looks best and which pose is most photogenic.

Even when sitting down to eat, their movements are proper and their posture is elegant.

It won't leave any bad images on the camera.

Lin Zhou then acted even less concerned.

If he, an ordinary person, deliberately acts in an affected manner, he will seem out of place and become a laughing stock.

His relaxed posture contrasted sharply with Jiang Yi, who sat upright next to him.

Ahhhhh, even the way he eats is so handsome!

I'm in love! His profile is so handsome!

Lin Zhou looks so real, just like me eating at home.

Jiang Yi is sitting so upright, it's tiring to watch. He seems to be carrying a heavy celebrity image.

Am I the only one who thinks Lin Zhou's relaxed demeanor is a plus? In comparison, Jiang Yi seems a bit forced.

"Everyone, let's eat! My cooking skills aren't great, so please don't mind."

As Jiang Yi spoke, everyone picked up their chopsticks, and Lin Zhou thought to himself that it was time for the acting competition to begin.

Sure enough, Su Man picked up a piece of stir-fried pork with green peppers, chewed it a couple of times, and her eyes lit up instantly. She smiled and gave Jiang Yi a thumbs up: "My goodness, Teacher Jiang, this pork is so tender! The heat is just right, not dry at all, and the crispness of the green peppers is perfectly preserved. It's amazing!"

Shen Jiashu slowly picked up a piece of cola chicken wing, pursed his lips, and said, "These chicken wings are very flavorful, the sauce coats them evenly, and the sweetness is just right. They're not cloying at all. Not bad."

Xia Wanxing took a bite of the garlic-flavored romaine lettuce and nodded in agreement: "The romaine lettuce is also good; the garlic flavor is especially strong, and it's so refreshing!"

However, Lu Xiao, who had been very lively with the other guests since the show started, became silent after taking a bite of the chicken wing.

Under the lens of variety shows, no one is willing to publicly criticize something, even if it doesn't taste good, they still have to put on a show of supporting it.

After all, they all know very well.

Even if someone doesn't directly say the food is bad, as long as the review is negative, there might be haters stirring up trouble, saying things like, "If you think it's bad, then you come and eat it. You're so picky about food, so fussy."

Seeing this, Lin Zhou thought he had guessed wrong. Could it be that the food was really good and he had misunderstood the other party?

He hesitated for a moment, then tentatively picked up a piece of romaine lettuce that didn't seem too threatening.

He realized something was wrong as soon as he took a bite.

How can blanching be so salty?

It has lost all the original flavor of the vegetables, leaving only a pungent garlic smell.

He didn't mind the strange taste and took another bite of the chicken wing.

That's even more outrageous, damn it.

It was supposed to be flavorful, but why is it still just white meat inside?

It wasn't even opened with a flower knife!

He glanced at the other guests, who all seemed to be enjoying some kind of delicacy, and gave them a look of admiration.

It's no wonder he's in the entertainment industry; his acting skills are truly superb!

Lin Zhou suppressed the strange taste in his throat, picked up the water glass and gulped down two mouthfuls before he could barely recover.
