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

"Hello, Mom~"

Hearing her daughter's voice, Su Manhua's anxious mood calmed down, and she said softly:

"Honey, did you have fun today?"

"I'm so happy, Lin Zhou's singing is so good."

Hearing her daughter's tone, Su Manhua became even more certain of her thoughts.

The main reason is that Lin Zhou's song was too powerful.

With dimples and long eyelashes, isn't that exactly what her daughter looks like?

Any girl would probably be moved if a guy flirted with her like that.

Not to mention that her own daughter seemed to have a good impression of Lin Zhou.

She smiled and asked, "I just saw him walk you back to your dorm. What did you say the way? Can you tell your mom?"

Jiang Muxue didn't think much of it: "Lin Zhou asked me to go see the sunrise at the beach with him tomorrow."

Su Manhua didn't even ask Jiang Muxue if she agreed, and directly said:

"Then remember to wear an extra jacket. It's quite windy at the beach in the morning, so don't catch a cold."

"Okay, Mom, I'm not a little kid anymore."

After thinking for a moment, Su Manhua tentatively spoke:

"By the way, honey, I just spoke with your Aunt Sujuan. She can arrange for you to leave at the end of this week. Do you want to...?"

Before Su Manhua could finish speaking, Jiang Muxue instinctively shook her head, "I don't want to..."

"Are you going to keep recording?"

"Um."

"Did you stay because of Lin Zhou?"

"I……"

Jiang Muxue didn't know how to answer for a moment and became hesitant.

Hearing Jiang Muxue's tone, Su Manhua immediately understood what was going on.

Actually, there's no need to overthink it. Lin Zhou is the only friend her daughter has on the show, and that's the only reason she'd stay.

She feigned a joking tone and tentatively asked, "Girl, you wouldn't happen to have fallen for Lin Zhou, would you?"

Jiang Muxue's hand tightened around her phone, and her cheeks flushed instantly. She bit her lower lip and murmured softly, "I...I don't know..."

"have no idea?"

Su Manhua chuckled softly and said gently, "Then tell your mother, how do you feel when you're with Lin Zhou?"

Jiang Muxue leaned against the headboard, her fingers gently fiddling with the sheets, and the image of Lin Zhou flashed through her mind.

She slowly began, "When I'm with him, I feel very safe. When he sings, I can't help but keep looking at him. Sometimes when he talks to me, my heart races..."

Her voice trailed off, and she asked Su Manhua with a hint of confusion, "Mom, what does it feel like to like someone?"

Because Jiang Zhanming is usually busy with work and doesn't spend much time at home, Su Manhua and Jiang Muxue usually spend most of their time together. Su Manhua doesn't put on airs and treats Jiang Muxue like a friend.

That's why Jiang Muxue would directly ask Su Manhua if there was anything she didn't know.

Hearing Jiang Muxue's answer, Su Manhua already knew the answer in her heart, but she still explained it to Jiang Muxue in a gentle voice:

"When you like someone, you can't help but pay attention to their every move. If they laugh, you laugh too; if they're sad, you're sad too. Before, when you looked at scenery, you just thought it was beautiful. Now, when you see scenery, you think, 'If only he were here.' You also become reluctant to leave him and want to be with him 24 hours a day."

"what?"

Jiang Muxue leaned against the headboard, fidgeting with her fingers somewhat helplessly.

"Then, what should I do?"

"Silly girl," Su Manhua said with a smile, playfully scolding her.

"If you like someone, you like them. It's not something shameful. My Mu Xue is so wonderful. She deserves to be liked and to like others in return."

However, you haven't spent enough time with Lin Zhou, especially on a TV show. Although Lin Zhou seems quite nice so far, Mom still wants to tell you something—when dating, don't date someone who's nice to you, because there might be a reason why they're nice to you. We should date someone who is genuinely a good person.

After a pause, Su Manhua added, "By the way, Mom will be visiting you at the show next week. You can introduce me to her then."

Jiang Muxue was somewhat taken aback:

"Meet...meet? That would be too awkward."

"What's so awkward? I'm your mother. It's perfectly normal for her to meet the future... to meet the friends from your show."

Su Manhua coughed lightly to cover up her thoughts, "Alright, I won't say any more to you. Get some rest, don't catch a cold when watching the sunrise tomorrow."

"Hmm~"

After hanging up the phone, I looked at Lin Zhou's information on my phone and sighed softly.

This is the first time her daughter has ever liked someone so much in her life, and she is both happy and worried.

She was happy that her daughter had finally met someone she cared about so much, but she was also worried that Lin Zhou's interest was just a passing fancy and that he would let her precious daughter down.

Although she herself is a hopeless romantic, she is afraid that her daughter will be like her.

She decided to meet him next week to see if he was worth her daughter's affections.

She needs to carefully oversee the process.

……

Meanwhile, in the boys' dormitory, Lin Zhou had just finished washing up when a message from the program team popped up on his phone.

They reminded him to deal with the song copyright issue as soon as possible, and thoughtfully told him that the production team could help if he agreed.

This matter was not harmful to him in the first place, so Lin Zhou thought about it and agreed.

After finishing everything, he lay down on the bed with some excitement.

Actually, after he finished singing, the system reminded him that the task of accumulating emotional points had been completed.

However, he was busy with more important things at the time, so he didn't have time to check the reward.

The surroundings were quiet. Lin Zhou silently said in his mind, "System, open the rewards panel."

[Ding! Emotional value accumulated to the target, task completed!]

[Congratulations, host, you have acquired: Professional-level photography skills (including mastery of landscape, portrait, composition, and post-processing)]

Photography skills?

Lin Zhou was taken aback for a moment, then smiled slightly.

This reward really aligns perfectly with his future plans.

This can be considered a huge help.

He had originally planned to learn these skills online himself.

Thinking that he still had a lot of emotional points, Lin Zhou had an idea and immediately converted them all into lottery chances.

The final reward left him somewhat amused and exasperated.

I had five chances and drew four songs.

The last chance is also related to music—composition skills.

The system also thoughtfully unlocked a music library viewing function for him.

Lin Zhou was both amused and exasperated.

Could it be that the system really wants him to become a singer?

However, he didn't pay much attention to it. Thinking about watching the sunrise with Jiang Muxue the next day, he went to bed early.

At 00:01 that night.

After registering the copyright for Lin Zhou, the official account of [Heartbeat Coast] edited and pinned the video of Lin Zhou playing and singing two songs on the homepage of the official account.

Almost at the same time, live versions of the songs "Sorrow" and "Little Dimples" were released on Kuma Music and other major music apps.

Many viewers wanted to listen to the songs again after watching the live stream, so with the official promotion, the number of likes for both songs skyrocketed.

Even more surprisingly, the live versions of these two songs also climbed the new song charts in a short period of time.

The comments section was full of praise.

Who would have thought that the lucky guest at the beginning was actually a hidden musical prodigy?

[I'm officially switching from being a fan to a hater of Lin Gengxin! I'm giving him a shout-out!]

Where is Lin Biao's army?

[My goodness, you guys are amazing! Both of these songs are on the new song chart, and "Sorrow" even went straight to number one!]

[When I open a video platform now, the screen is filled with lyrics for these two songs!]

[Lin Geng is really popular now!]

[I'll listen to it a million times, and get up early again tomorrow to watch the live stream.]
