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

"Wow! This smells amazing!"

Once all four dishes and one soup were placed on the table, everyone immediately gathered around and sat down.

Lin Zhou's cooking skills are now recognized as the best on the show. His dishes are comparable to those of so-called master chefs, and even better.

So, besides looking forward to the afternoon activities, what they looked forward to most on the show was the food Lin Zhou cooked.

So when Jiang Yi suggested that the cooking task be handed over to Lin Zhou, no one had any objections, and some were even looking forward to it.

With such delicious food, what's a little work?

"This tomato and beef brisket is so flavorful."

Su Man ate while praising it.

Although they don't participate in cooking, they can provide emotional value.

What's more, Lin Zhou's cooking is really delicious.

"This broccoli is delicious! It's refreshing and flavorful, just as good as what you get in restaurants."

"Really? I want to try it!"

"This broccoli was stir-fried by Jiang Muxue, and so were these other vegetable dishes made by her?"

Lin Zhou attributed all the credit to Jiang Muxue.

"Mu Xue, you're amazing!"

"Is this your first time cooking? You're so talented!"

"Lin Zhou taught me..."

Jiang Muxue lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly and explained in a low voice.

"She's definitely a natural talent; being with Lin Zhou has even improved her cooking skills!"

"I'm envious, such a talented player."

"Lin Zhou, could you teach me sometime?"

Jiang Muxue, who was initially pleased with the praise, suddenly felt less happy upon hearing these words.

"It's actually very simple. There are tutorials online. Just follow the tutorial and do it a few times, and you'll get it."

Lin Zhou responded naturally.

Upon hearing Lin Zhou's reply, Jiang Muxue's dimples reappeared.

She was clearly satisfied with Lin Zhou's answer.

Jiang Muxue's subtle expressions were all captured in the footage.

[Others would just tell you to search for tutorials and do it yourself, but with Jiang Muxue, it's a step-by-step tutorial. Isn't the favoritism a bit too obvious?]

[If I'm not mistaken, was Jiang Muxue just jealous?]

You are not alone.

[Mu Xue's little eyes clearly showed she was pleased, I'm so smitten!]

Lin Zhou is so talented!

How delightful! To hear something like this while eating is truly delightful.

【No way, why are you all so into this? Just kill Lin Gou already!】

No one said anything more, and they all buried themselves in their rice with relish.

Say one more word and you'll eat one less bite.

Only one person thought differently.

Seeing everyone enjoying their meal so much, Jiang Yi felt a pang of unease.

Didn't you all say you wanted to control your weight back then?

Why are you eating so heartily now?

Although I did a little poorly back then, you didn't have to make it so obvious.

Don't I have any pride?

Fortunately, I was able to get rid of the chore of cooking in time.

Otherwise, by comparison, he felt he might lose even more face.

About halfway through the meal, Jiang Muxue encountered a very serious problem.

She wanted to pick up some food from the other side, but found she couldn't reach it.

In the past, when Lin Zhou cooked, he would divide the food into two portions, but today he was in a hurry and had been teaching her for so long that she may have forgotten to do so.

The girl sitting in the middle naturally didn't have this problem.

Su Man, who was also sitting on the other side, would stand up to pick up food, but Jiang Muxue was a little embarrassed.

Lin Zhou also noticed Jiang Muxue's subtle glance.

As Jiang Muxue looked up, he gave her a wink.

Jiang Muxue was taken aback for a moment, then understood the meaning in his eyes and blinked gently.

Lin Zhou quickly got up and picked up the braised prawns she was eyeing.

Jiang Muxue also raised her small bowl.

Then Lin Zhou picked up another piece of beef brisket and put it in her bowl.

Jiang Muxue looked down at the food in her bowl, and her dimples reappeared at the corners of her mouth.

But this scene left the other guests completely bewildered.

So they're showing off their love right in front of us?

Isn't the progress a bit too fast?

Do I have to pick up food like this?

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on them, Lin Zhou and Jiang Muxue both felt a little uncomfortable. Lin Zhou quickly explained, "Jiang Muxue can't reach the food over there, so I'm helping her pick it up."

"Oh~"

The group nodded, all showing expressions of sudden realization.

But actually, they still don't quite understand.

No, you didn't say anything just now either.

They managed to achieve this level of understanding just through eye contact?

Have you two become this in sync already?

Is that correct?

For a moment, no one spoke up among the male guests, while the female guests warmly greeted Jiang Muxue:

"If Mu Xue can't reach it, just stand up and grab it. Don't be shy."

"Yes, yes, we're all family, there's no need to be so formal."

"Just tell us what you want to eat, and we'll get it for you."

Jiang Muxue nodded, but less than two minutes later, she continued to look at Lin Zhou with longing eyes.

Lin Zhou glanced to the other side, his eyes conveying a clear message—want more?

Jiang Muxue nodded repeatedly, responding with her eyes, "Mm."

Lin Zhou didn't say anything, but got up again to serve her another serving.

[Mu Xue's adorable expression clearly shows she wants Lin Zhou to serve her food; she's so cute!]

[They understand each other with just a glance; what incredible teamwork!]

【My dear wife, I can help you pick out food too.】

The guests' expressions were hilarious! Haha, we're here to participate in a dating reality show, not to be fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection)!

[I declare this the sweetest moment of the day!]

Brothers, let's shout out the slogan!

Kill Lin Gou and seize Mu Xue!

In Jiang Muxue's mind, there was nothing wrong with picking up food with her chopsticks.

At home, her parents often serve her food; it's normal for them to be close to her.

Besides, Lin Zhou is still her good friend.

Then there's even less of a problem.

Not long after we finished eating, the assistant director came over with a group of people.

Lin Zhou, along with the other guests, were a bit confused.

It's only a little past twelve o'clock now, and they usually arrive around one or two in the afternoon. Why is the production team here so early today?

Attention, guests!

"Our tasks for this afternoon will be released ahead of schedule!"

"What kind of mission is it?"

Su Man asked curiously.

The assistant director quickly unfolded the task card and read aloud: "Afternoon task: Divide into pairs, forming four teams."

"Each group will collaborate to shoot a short video. The content and style are not limited, but both people must appear in the same frame."

The videos will be posted to your personal accounts before 10 PM tonight. Likes will be tallied tomorrow at noon, and the group with the most likes will receive an Ocean Heart reward.

"Did you all understand?"

"Understood."

Seeing the thoughtful expressions on the guests' faces, the assistant director added with a smile:

"And here's some big news—collect all four Ocean Hearts to unlock an exclusive off-island date for two!"

Also, the first segment of our program, "Heart-Fluttering Encounters," is about to end. After it concludes, we'll have a voting segment where the male and female guests with the most votes will receive an extra mystery bonus!

"The guest who receives the fewest votes will be... eliminated."

"I hope everyone cherishes every day spent with us on the show."
