Going home for Chinese New Year, I squeezed onto a bus with three energetic young women.

Bai Li coughed twice, then quickly waved his hand, his tone very sincere:

"Ahem, of course you're not!"

Lin Xiaoshuang reacted quickly; her blond hair twitched, and she ran over to grab Jiang Ruyue's sleeve.

"Yes, yes, how could we possibly have that kind of idea? Ruyue is the smartest."

Li Jiaxin and Chen Tingting also joined in, chiming in with their own comments.

Jiang Ruyue chuckled and raised her small face.

She reached up and brushed a stray hair behind her ear, her face full of pride that said, "I knew it, you all think I'm not stupid."

"Although it's said online that girls become stupid after falling in love."

Jiang Ruyue sat on a small stool, swinging her small feet, which were wearing white sneakers.

Then, she stroked her chin thoughtfully for three seconds, then looked up and said seriously:

"But I just feel like I'm incredibly smart."

At this time.

Zhang Qian, who usually presents a mature and sophisticated image, had a gentle, aunt-like smile on her face.

She walked over, her long, shapely legs wrapped up tightly: "Yes."

Zhang Qian reached out and pinched Jiang Ruyue's fair cheek:

"Ruyue is the smartest. It would be such a waste of your intelligence to play a fool."

At this point, Zhang Qian's tone changed, and her smiling face fell.

She lowered her head, her long blue hair hanging down her chest, looking both aggrieved and pitiful.

"But..." Zhang Qian sighed softly, her watery eyes looking at Jiang Ruyue:

"We are now facing a really big problem."

"You saw the filming just now; the results were terrible."

"I wonder if Sister Ruyue would be so merciful as to lend us a hand?"

Jiang Ruyue couldn't bear to see Zhang Qian like this, her innocent heart couldn't take it.

She glanced at Bai Li sitting in the director's chair, then at the four colorful-haired girls surrounding her.

Her small chest stood out.

"good!"

Jiang Ruyue readily agreed.

Bai Li breathed a sigh of relief and gave Zhang Qian a thumbs up.

Zhang Qian is quite adept at manipulating things outside of bed, always targeting Jiang Ruyue's weaknesses.

"Alright, Ruyue, come here."

Bai Li beckoned to Wang Wei, who was stuffing his face nearby, and called him over:

"The equipment is ready. Let's have Kisaragi audition first."

Jiang Ruyue obediently stood up from the small stool and walked to the camera in the center of the venue.

She straightened her white hoodie, and her cool, aloof face showed no sign of stage fright, but rather a sense of novelty.

"How do I try it?" she asked.

Bai Li cleared his throat and began to patiently guide him:

"Don't be nervous, and don't pretend to be stupid, that would be too fake."

He held up a finger and pointed at the air:

"When you turn it on, just give your first reaction based on your normal thinking."

"Let's officially start filming now!"

Jiang Ruyue felt something was off, but she still nodded her chin.

"Let's start with a simple test."

Bai Li leaned back in his chair:

"Please make a sentence using the words 'eldest,' 'second,' 'third,' 'fourth,' and 'fifth.'"

As soon as the question was posed, the energetic young women in the studio all perked up their ears.

Jiang Ruyue stood under the bright lights, looking so pure and innocent.

Upon hearing this question, she smiled, looking confident of victory.

"This is too easy." Her clear voice echoed throughout the venue.

Then, without pausing, she began to speak in a serious tone.

The fifth brother said to the fourth brother, "The third brother's second son is the eldest."

Wang Wei looked shocked, his hands trembling as he muttered to himself:

"Is this what a veteran actor is like...?"

Chen Tingting tossed her red hair, turned around, and began to frantically shrug her shoulders.

Li Jiaxin covered her forehead, forcibly suppressing her laughter.

"Perfect!" Bai Li clapped his hands.

"Kisaragi, just like that, absolutely brilliant!"

Lin Xiaoshuang jumped up and down excitedly.

She waved her hands and blurted out:

"A natural performance! Kisaragi, you were born to be..."

Before he could finish speaking, two hands reached out from the side.

Li Jiaxin and Chen Tingting moved in unison, each using one hand to cover Lin Xiaoshuang's mouth.

They forcefully suppressed that "idiot's" words.

Zhang Qian quickly stepped forward, blocking Lin Xiaoshuang and trying to smooth things over:

"Xiao Shuang, don't tell, don't tell."

Jiang Ruyue looked at the strange reactions of these people.

She tilted her head, her dark eyes darting around, full of confusion:

"This is normal thinking for me. Is there a problem?"

She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then muttered to herself:

"But I can't imagine how the idiot you're talking about would answer this question."

Seeing that he was about to be exposed, Bai Li quickly stood up from his chair and started to laugh it off.

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

Bai Li walked up to Jiang Ruyue and patted her on the shoulder:

"I feel like our show doesn't need idiots. It just needs beautiful women."

Upon hearing this, the young women immediately understood and began to flatter them.

"Yes, yes!"

Zhang Qian then took Jiang Ruyue's hand:

"With Ruyue's face on screen, who cares about the plot? Just looking at her face is enough."

Li Jiaxin let go of Lin Xiaoshuang and echoed:

"If you stand in front of the camera, those netizens will lick the screen until it's worn out."

Chen Tingting put her arm around Jiang Ruyue's shoulder and praised her in a carefree manner:

"That aura is absolutely deadly."

Surrounded by a group of girls showering her with compliments, Jiang Ruyue felt a little embarrassed.

Her face flushed, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn upwards.

But a few seconds later, that feeling that something was wrong came back up again.

"That's not right."

Jiang Ruyue muttered to herself:

"So your reaction just now was basically saying I'm stupid...?"
