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

"I was wrong."

As this topic came to an end, Lin Zhou was about to talk about something else when he saw other guests starting to walk in from outside.

Seeing the two of them almost touching, Shen Jiashu raised an eyebrow. "Why are you two sitting outside?"

"It's so boring staying indoors."

Lin Zhou looked behind him and noticed that Xia Wanxing, Lu Xiao, and Su Man were not there. He asked curiously, "Where are the others? Are they still playing over there?"

"No, Xia Wanxing has some work to take care of. Lu Xiao and Su Man are still over there."

Lin Zhou nodded and didn't stay outside any longer, so he followed them back to the room.

According to the order of cooking, Lin Jianwei should be in charge of preparing lunch today, so as soon as she entered the small house, she went straight to the kitchen.

The remaining few chatted idly, and the cabin soon fell silent.

With nothing else to do, Lin Zhou took out his phone to type a few words, since he didn't know the production team's schedule for the afternoon and if the recording went on until late, he wouldn't have much time in the evening.

After all, the signing is already secured, and all that's left is to hurry up and write some drafts to publish.

According to the platform's requirements, he needs 30,000 words to be published, and he is still more than 20,000 words short.

However, given his speed, it won't take long.

When the others saw Lin Zhou take out his phone, they also took out their phones and started watching videos.

Jiang Muxue sat on the sofa not far away, hugging a cushion, looking very quiet.

She was a little bored, but seeing that Lin Zhou seemed busy with his phone, she could only purse her lips and turn her gaze back to the window.

The cameraman's lens captured everyone's subtle movements.

After seeing Jiang Muxue turn her gaze to Lin Zhou with a disappointed expression, netizens couldn't sit still.

【No, am I seeing things? Why does Goddess Mu Xue look a little disappointed?】

I'm so jealous!

[What merit does Lin Gou have? I'm not convinced!]

[Making a fuss over nothing, you're obviously new here. Long-time fans like us are already totally into it.]

[Never mind, kill Lin Gou and take Mu Xue!]

My ex-girlfriend used to see me like this, it was so cute.

[Upstairs, you simp! She's your ex-girlfriend and you're still thinking about her? You're so pathetic!]

Why did they break up? Tell us so we can all have a laugh.

She has passed away.

【…】

……

Unlike the peaceful and serene atmosphere in the living room, Lin Jianwei seemed rather flustered in the kitchen.

Although she can cook, she usually only makes one or two home-style dishes at most, but now there are eight guests, one or two dishes are definitely not enough.

Moreover, many of the ingredients prepared by the production team were things she didn't know how to prepare.

But because there were cameras filming, she couldn't be too obvious, so she had to bite the bullet and spend her time on something else.

After chopping vegetables, she washes her hands; after peeling garlic, she washes her hands; even if she just touches the plate of scallions and ginger, she turns around and rinses her hands.

The water consumption is astonishingly high.

The fire on the stove hadn't been lit yet, and the pot was empty. She looked thoughtful, but still had no clue what to do.

As time ticked by, she grew increasingly anxious. She opened the kitchen door and called out towards the living room, "Lin Zhou, are you free now? Could you come to the kitchen and help me?"

He glanced at Lin Jianwei's slightly embarrassed expression, smiled and nodded: "Yes, I'll be right there."

He saved the content he had just typed and got up to walk towards the kitchen.

Hearing someone call Lin Zhou's name, Jiang Muxue, who was on the sofa, subconsciously looked up, but after seeing that he was just going to help in the kitchen, she looked away.

However, Jiang Yi's expression was rather unpleasant.

I'm here too, what do you mean by only calling out Lin Zhou?

After Lin Zhou arrived in the kitchen, he also understood the root cause of Lin Jianwei's embarrassment.

Lin Jianwei was a little embarrassed and explained, "There are too many ingredients, I can't handle it all by myself."

Lin Zhou didn't say anything.

Since it was a TV show recording, he couldn't very well refuse. Besides, he didn't want to have another terrible meal like yesterday.

His stomach really couldn't take it anymore.

[I knew it! Sure enough, Lin Jianwei called for backup!]

[They said they were there to help, but in the end, Lin Zhou ended up cooking.]

[Lin Gou has really become a chef.]

Without Lin Zhou, this show probably couldn't even be filmed; just dealing with meals would be a challenge.

This feels a bit unfair. Didn't we agree to take turns cooking? Isn't this bullying the honest person?

Is it possible that this is a setup by the production team? Are they just waiting to see Lin Zhou showcase his skills?

After Lin Zhou left the living room, Shen Jiashu glanced at Jiang Muxue, thought for a moment, and then prepared to go up and start a conversation.

"Jiang Muxue, you're usually so quiet, do you not like being in crowded places?"

Jiang Muxue felt a little uneasy when she saw someone come to talk to her, but she just nodded slightly.

Shen Jiashu smiled slightly, "Actually, I feel the same way. I feel more relaxed when I'm alone."

[Wait, could it be that Shen Jiashu also has feelings for Jiang Muxue?]

[Jiang Muxue is so beautiful, every man would like her, right?]

【Lin Gou, come back quickly! Someone's stealing our forest!】

[This is a dating reality show; it's about free-choice dating, isn't that normal?]

Jiang Muxue didn't know how to answer, so she remained silent.

That's just her personality; she chooses to remain silent about people or things she doesn't want to be involved with.

Seeing that Jiang Muxue did not speak, Shen Jiashu's lips stiffened slightly.

He hadn't expected Jiang Muxue to be so cold.

You weren't like this before, when you were with Lin Zhou!

Could it be that you've actually fallen for him?

Undeterred, he continued, "I remember reading is one of your hobbies. What kind of books do you read? Could you recommend a few?"

Just as he was expecting Jiang Muxue's reply, Jiang Muxue unexpectedly took out her phone, tapped the screen twice, and then turned the screen towards him.

Shen Jiashu frowned and looked over, puzzled.

It was a memo interface, which simply listed the titles of three books.

No, I'm right in front of you, and you can't even be bothered to say a word to me?

Just as he was about to say something more, he noticed that Jiang Muxue had already looked down at her phone.

Shen Jiashu's smile faltered.
