I was criticized on a dating reality show, but I retaliated and became an internet sensation.

Shu Zi instantly recalled his words in the bathroom, and her face flushed: "Stop talking! I don't want to know at all!"

Gu Yan chuckled softly.

Meanwhile, Director Liu added, "The partner who successfully completes the instructions can be exempted from answering one of the questions tonight."

After saying that, he clicked on the next page, "Okay, now let's announce the questions that each group needs to answer."

"First up is Gu Yanshuzi, your group."

Shu Zi immediately sat up straight, raised her chin slightly, crossed her arms, and adopted a "bring it on, I'm not afraid" attitude.

"The two most popular questions from your group on Weibo are—"

Director Liu read the words on the tablet.

"First, everyone is curious: when Shu Zi completed the 'wake up the male guests' task in the morning of the first episode, who was Gu Yan calling out 'Nuonuo' in the room? Who was he calling?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the living room fell silent.

Apart from Shen Yihuai, who had already guessed it, the others were all completely bewildered.

Fang Yutong looked over, Han Jingxue raised an eyebrow, while Jiang Yunyou and Su Yanhuan had expressions that said, "Oh, there's some juicy gossip."

The first session in the morning...

Shu Zi thought about it carefully, and then her heart skipped a beat, and the disdainful expression on her face almost cracked.

That morning, she barged into Gu Yan's room to wake him up, but he pulled her into his arms instead, and she thought he whispered in her ear, "Nuonuo, stop fooling around..."

Shu Zi: "..."

No, why is that the problem?!

It's been so long, she'd almost forgotten about it herself. How could netizens be so idle as to vote it number one?!

Shu Zi looked at the culprit.

He seemed perfectly normal, even... in a good mood?

"The second question," Director Liu cleared his throat, brought the tablet closer, squinted at it, and his smile became a little strange.

Yes, it's eerie.

"The netizens are extremely, extremely, extremely curious to know what you two did in the master bathroom about an hour ago, around 6:20 pm tonight?"

He deliberately emphasized and dragged out the words "in the bathroom" and "what was done".

"Pfft—cough cough cough!"

Jiang Yunyou choked on a mouthful of water, which went directly into his trachea, causing him to cough violently.

Su Yanhuan's eyes widened instantly, her gaze sweeping wildly between Shu Zi and Gu Yan. The amount of information was overwhelming, and her brain seemed to freeze.

Shen Yihuai glanced at Gu Yan, a playful smile curving his lips. He leaned back on the sofa, looking like he was about to watch a good show.

Han Jingxue looked at Shu Zi and raised an eyebrow. Shu Zi responded with an expression that said, "Senior sister, listen to me."

A faint smile curved her lips as she picked up the water glass in front of her, her movements unhurried and deliberate.

Fang Yutong's smile froze, and although it quickly returned, it looked somewhat forced.

Yu Shize touched his nose, looking slightly embarrassed, and then looked up at the ceiling.

Shu-Tzu's face turned bright red, probably hot enough to boil two eggs.

"What kind of stupid questions are these! Can't you be a little more constructive?!"

After saying that, she glared at Director Liu and then quickly glanced at Gu Yan beside her.

Here comes the deadly double question~ You didn't expect this, did you? The original second question wasn't this, it was "What did you do when you were clearing the area for the photo today?" (evil laugh)

[Yes, yes, yes! Then we spent an hour trying to beat them; the bathroom was definitely more appealing~]

[Hahahaha, Director Liu, where's your facial expression control?! You're laughing like a fox who just stole a chicken!]

[Director Liu, your emphasis on "What did you do?" is giving me the creeps!]

[Zizi, why don't you look in the mirror? Do you know how red your face is right now? (doge)]

[Gu Yan, answer quickly! We want to hear a live, uncensored text broadcast from the bathroom!]

"Hey upstairs, put on some pants! But... take me with you! (Moves up a little stool)"

[I bet six packs of spicy strips that it's definitely not just a simple case of a broken shower gel pump! I swear on my ten years of experience as a CP fan!]

[Frog Fun, the person upstairs is betting such a high stake?!]

[Sister Han is so calm! She only raised her eyelids slightly! But Shen Yihuai's smile! It's obvious his head is full of nonsense!]

[Fang Yutong seems a little embarrassed too? Yu Shize, where are you looking? Is there an answer on the ceiling?]

[Youbao Huanhuan, a comedian, never disappoints! This reaction is totally me!]

Director Liu completely ignored Shu Zi's protests, smiling as he looked at Gu Yan, his eyes seeming to look at his most promising son, who was about to drop a bombshell:

"Teacher Gu, Teacher Shu, congratulations on successfully completing the instructions and gaining a valuable exemption, which allows you to skip answering one of the questions."

"So, which one do you choose to skip?"

Shu Zi's mind was racing; her CPU was practically overheating.

The first problem is that it seems a bit embarrassing to say this nickname in front of so many people, but... maybe I can grit my teeth and get away with it?

The second question... absolutely cannot be answered! If she does, it will go viral on social media tonight, and she won't be able to face anyone tomorrow!

She glared at Director Liu again, then quickly turned to Gu Yan.

His eyes clearly said, "Choose the second one! Right now! Immediately! Otherwise, I'm not finished with you!"

He even secretly made a throat-slitting gesture.

[Shu Zi: Outwardly calm as a rock, inwardly panicking]

[Let's fight! I love watching young couples "fight" over which question to choose!]

[Something's fishy! The more Shuzi acts like this, the more suspicious she becomes! There's definitely something wrong in the bathroom (a knowing look in her eyes)]

Gu Yan received the murderous glare from her, but instead of panicking, he raised an eyebrow slightly, a faint smile flashing in his eyes.

He leisurely observed Shu Zi, who was practically jumping up and down in anxiety, before turning to Director Liu, who was looking on expectantly, and slowly began to speak:

"No need to answer the second one."

Shu Zi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling almost completely exhausted.

But the next second, Shu Zi really wanted to jump out of the screen and beat all these netizens up!

What kind of questions are these?! Can't you have some boundaries?! I still have to answer the first one!

"good--!"

Director Liu slapped his thigh in excitement, as if he had witnessed a historic moment:

"Now, please answer the first question!"

"Gu Yan, in the morning of the first episode, you were in your room, and you called out to Teacher Shu Zi, who had barged into your room to wake you up for the show, with that soft, sweet voice..."

"Who exactly is being called?"

He uttered each word carefully, accompanied by exaggerated gestures.

"Note that if it's someone outside the industry, you don't need to mention their name, just their relationship to you," Director Liu added.

Shu Zi: "..."

You're a really nice person.

The camera was fixed on the two of them; the living room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Shu Zi was thinking about how to answer.

Or maybe you should say you misheard? Or that you're a friend outside the circle? If all else fails, just say it's actually a dog?

Just as her CPU was about to burn out, Gu Yan next to her suddenly moved.

He turned to look at her, and his eyes, illuminated by the bright living room lights, clearly reflected her panicked and helpless face.

Then, under everyone's gaze and in close-up shots, he called out naturally and clearly:

"Nuonuo".
