Upon arriving at the Heartbeat House, it's likely that several other guests shared the same thought and had already arrived.

The three female guests, Su Man, Xia Wanxing, and Lin Zhiwei, even took the opportunity to touch up their makeup, since they might have sweated a bit during the afternoon's activities, and their makeup was somewhat smudged.

The boys weren't as particular. Apart from Jiang Yi, the others were still dressed as if it had just started in the morning, at most they had changed their clothes or something.

Jiang Muxue had also arrived. Unlike the others, she didn't touch up her makeup, probably because she had just washed her face, revealing her natural bare face.

Without the cover of foundation, her skin appeared even more translucent and fair, with a natural pinkish glow. So even standing there with a bare face, she was in no way inferior to the female guests next to her who had carefully touched up their makeup.

The female guests looked at Jiang Muxue with envy on their faces.

Who wouldn't be envious of skin like that?

Lin Zhiwei muttered to herself, "I'm a beauty blogger, and it's hard not to envy someone who can look so clean and beautiful even without a face."

With the arrival of Lin Zhou and Lu Xiao, all the guests were officially gathered together again.

"Everyone's here, shouldn't we start preparing dinner?"

These words struck a chord with everyone, as they had all expended a lot of energy in the afternoon and were already starving.

Everyone's eyes were drawn to Jiang Yi.

During the filming period, the guests had to take care of their own meals.

But at lunchtime, Jiang Yi insisted on cooking, and the group of people ate with some difficulty. They still felt lingering fear when they thought about the taste.

As a result, no one spoke up for a moment.

Fortunately, Lin Zhiwei reacted quickly and broke the awkward atmosphere by saying, "The show has been filming for such a long time, we can't let Teacher Jiang cook for us all the time, can we? How about we take turns cooking three meals a day? That would be fairer, and it would also allow everyone to participate."

"I think it's okay."

"But what if someone can't cook?"

"So, those who can cook will take turns cooking, and the rest will be responsible for tidying up the Heartbeat House?"

"Can."

"I'm fine."

I agree.

"Besides me and Teacher Jiang, who else can cook?"

Seeing that no one reacted, Lin Zhou smiled and raised his hand, "I can cook a little too, how about I cook dinner this time?"

"No way, Lin Zhou, you were hiding this trick all along?"

Lu Xiao exclaimed in surprise. Apart from Jiang Muxue, who knew Lin Zhou could cook, everyone else looked at him curiously. Lin Zhiwei nodded, "Alright, Lin Zhou will take care of dinner tonight! We'll take turns. Teacher Jiang, what do you think?"

Jiang Yi's smile froze for a moment, and a trace of resentment flashed across his eyes. After all, cooking was one of the most likely ways to get screen time, and if it was divided up now, it meant that he would get much less screen time.

But in front of everyone, he couldn't directly refute them, so he could only pretend to be magnanimous.

"Of course, no problem. It's more fun if everyone takes turns. I was tired at noon, so I'll rest tonight and try Lin Zhou's cooking."

After finalizing the dinner arrangements, the atmosphere in the living room became much more relaxed, and everyone started chatting casually.

Just then, Su Man seemed to suddenly remember something, patted her forehead and said, "Oh right, we haven't talked about breakfast yet. Besides lunch and dinner, there are so many of us, and our schedules are probably different. Some people like to get up early and eat something hot, while others might sleep until noon and not eat breakfast at all."

Shen Jiashu nodded in agreement, "I don't usually eat breakfast."

"Me too."

Lin Zhou thought for a moment and then looked at everyone and suggested, "I think it would be better if we all took care of our own breakfasts. We keep milk, bread, and oatmeal in the refrigerator. If anyone wants to cook some porridge or fry an egg, that's fine too. All the ingredients are in the kitchen, so everyone can take what they need. This way, it's convenient, avoids waste, and also takes into account everyone's schedule and habits."

This plan is reasonable, and no one has any objections or faults.

"I agree, it's definitely more appropriate for each person to have their own breakfast."

"no problem."

"Then I'll go defrost the meat and prepare for dinner."

Seeing that everyone agreed to his suggestion, Lin Zhou pointed towards the kitchen, smiled, and stood up.

"Then go ahead, thank you for your hard work."

Lin Zhou nodded, and as he took a step, Jiang Muxue also stood up.

Seeing this, Jiang Yi asked, "Jiang Muxue, are you going to help?"

"Um."

"But... we're just thawing meat, we don't need two people, right?"

"That's right, let's chat for a bit, we can help later!"

Jiang Muxue stopped in her tracks, pursed her lips, and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"It's alright. I was too busy to handle everything by myself anyway, so it's perfect that Jiang Muxue came to help."

Lin Zhou knew Jiang Muxue's personality and had been looking for an opportunity to invite her. This was a good opportunity to help her out of a difficult situation.

Jiang Muxue's eyes brightened, and the slight awkwardness from before vanished instantly. She gave a soft "hmm" and quickly followed Lin Zhou's steps, a faint smile curving her lips.

Jiang Yi's smile faded slightly, but he didn't say anything more.

Su Man thought that she hadn't helped out at noon, so she got up and said, "I'll help too, I can lend a hand."

"No need, no need. The kitchen isn't very big, and it would be too cramped if there were more people. I prefer to cook in a quiet environment, and it gets chaotic when there are too many people. You can just wait in the living room; dinner will be ready soon."

Su Man paused for a moment, then smiled and waved her hand, "Alright, then I won't cause any more trouble. You two keep it up, we're waiting for the feast!"

Lin Zhou responded and turned to Jiang Muxue, saying, "Let's go in and check the ingredients first."

Jiang Muxue nodded and quickly followed him into the kitchen.

The other guests watched the two of them from behind with a hint of curiosity in their eyes.

They're still in the process of getting to know each other, so how did they get together so quickly?

Isn't this development too fast?

But the audience doesn't care about any of that; this is a dating reality show, so they're all just shipping each other.

The more alone they are in a scene like this, the better it is, especially in the confined space of a kitchen. Who knows what might happen that they'd love to see...
