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

Jiang Yunyou paused for a moment, then pointed to himself: "...Huh? Me?"

Fang Yutong nodded and explained naturally:

"I've always loved Teacher Jiang's songs. I've also heard you play guitar online before, and it sounds amazing. I'd like to take this opportunity to ask you about songwriting."

"And I think the daily work of singer-songwriters must be very interesting, and I'd like to experience it."

Jiang Yunyou felt a little embarrassed by her words and scratched his head:

"Oh... okay, then Sister Yutong, you'd better be prepared. I get so bored when I'm writing songs that I can stare at a single chord for two hours straight."

Fang Yutong smiled and said, "That's perfect, I also want to learn how to daydream."

[Wait, wait, no, this girl surprised me! I thought she was going to choose Gu Yan!]

[Fang Yutong chose Jiang Yunyou? Because she likes his songs?]

[Please pay the tuition, thank you (handshake) (handshake)]

[Su Yanhuan: Finally, I've gotten rid of this bombshell. I don't have to be bothered by Jiang Yunyou anymore. (kneeling in gratitude)]

[Hmm... learning to daydream, what an obscure term]

[A sibling duo! A gentle older sister and a musical younger brother, wow, I'm kind of curious to see what happens (thinking)]

[Upstairs, are you really hungry?]

[Jiang Yunyou: I thought I was just here to coast along, but then a boss suddenly appeared out of nowhere.]

Staring blankly at a single chord for two hours—is this the life of a singer-songwriter? I get it; I can be a singer-songwriter too.

Upon hearing the result, Shu Zi raised an eyebrow, glanced at Fang Yutong, and then looked at Yu Shize.

Yu Shize sat to the side, saying nothing, his expression calm, as if he had expected it all along.

Director Liu drew another card, turned it over, and said, "Next, Shu Zi."

Shu Zi glanced at Gu Yan subconsciously, and was about to speak when Yu Shize suddenly spoke:

"Director Liu, I'd like to volunteer myself."

The words had barely left her lips when Shu Zi immediately spoke up, without a moment's hesitation: "Gu Yan, I choose Gu Yan!"

Yu Shize: "..."

He was caught off guard by her words: "Zizi, you—"

Shu Zi ignored him and turned to Han Jingxue: "Senior sister, you're next. Choose."

After saying that, he plopped down next to Gu Yan.

Gu Yan leaned back on the sofa, his posture composed, a slight smile playing on his lips.

[Hahahaha, Zizi, are you serious? You didn't even hesitate for a second!]

[Yu Shize: I haven't finished speaking yet. Zizi: I'm not listening to this bastard's rambling, get out!]

Gu Yan remained completely calm throughout; is this the true status of the empress? As stable as a mountain.

Is Yu Shize a professional rejection target today? He got rejected by two people in a row. I feel sorry for him for a second.

I've already felt sorry for her for this second; the rest is just hilarious.

Director Liu looked at this one and then that one, his face a mask of suppressed laughter, and silently scratched his toes in embarrassment on Yu Shize's behalf.

Then I couldn't hold it in anymore, turned around and laughed for a while before turning back.

Yu Shize again: "..."

He sat there, his expression indescribable.

[Hahahaha, did Yu Shize eat too many leafy green vegetables today?]

Director Liu finished laughing, cleared his throat, and tried to put on a serious face again: "Well, let's wait until the teacher finishes speaking, okay?"

Yu Shize adjusted his expression and spoke:

"I can show you the atmosphere on set, let you understand how filming is done, and I can also teach you some acting techniques."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Han Jingxue again, as if trying to seize one last chance.

Shen Yihuai stood up, walked to Han Jingxue's side, and pulled her closer to him, looking at Yu Shize:

"Sorry, she chose me."

Yu Shize: "..."

He was speechless and turned to look at Director Liu.

Director Liu watched them scrambling with a smile. After receiving a pleading look from Yu Shize, he coughed, his tone slightly troubled:

"...Well, that depends on the female guest's own wishes."

Yu Shize then looked at Han Jingxue.

Han Jingxue added calmly, "I'm an actress too, I don't need to experience it."

Shen Yihuai chuckled beside him without saying a word, but the meaning in his smile was quite clear.

Yu Shize looked at Director Liu again: "Then what should I do?"

Director Liu thought for a moment: "They're all alone, how about we give them half a day off?"

Upon hearing this, Shu Zi's eyes lit up, and she immediately said, "He can be with Gu—"

He was only halfway through his sentence when Gu Yan covered his mouth.

Gu Yan looked down at her, raising an eyebrow: "Started something and then abandoned it?"

Shu Zi pushed his hand away and glared at him: "What are you saying!"

Gu Yan didn't speak, just looked at her calmly, his eyes clearly saying, "Explain yourself, I'm listening."

Shu Zi felt both unreasonable and indignant under his gaze, so she simply smiled and naturally changed the subject:

"What I meant was that he can take care of himself, all by himself."

After saying that, she immediately turned to Director Liu, raising her voice by half an octave, "Director Liu! It's unfair of him to give us a holiday!"

Director Liu: "..."

Yu Shize: "..."

Director Liu looked at Yu Shize:

"Then... Teacher Yu, could you teach our viewers in the live stream? That would give us something to do?"

Yu Shize was silent for two seconds, then nodded: "Okay."

Director Liu clapped his hands and concluded:

"Alright, everyone's grouped up, and the vehicles are ready. We're all set to depart!"

"From now until dinner, all assistants must stay with their partners and follow their instructions."

"Any behavior of slacking off or being uncooperative will be dealt with."

He paused, then gave a malicious smile. "The production team has punishment measures in place, you know."

[I'm all too familiar with Director Liu's smile; every time he smiles like that, someone's going to be in trouble.]

[Yu Shize: So I'm here today to be an online teacher?]

[Yu Shize: I signed up for a dating reality show, not an educational channel. Director, are you mistaken?]

I really want to see Jiang Yunyou and Fang Yutong as a couple, please give them more screen time!

You are indeed hungry.

The speed with which Shu Zi chose Gu Yan, I suspect she has an automatic aiming system in her brain.

[No, no, it really was Yu Shize who just kept backing down.]

Each group boarded the vehicle arranged by the production team.

Shu Zi sat in the passenger seat, Gu Yan was driving. She fastened her seatbelt and glanced at him sideways: "Where are we going?"

"company."

Shu Zi was taken aback: "...Are you serious?"

Gu Yan raised an eyebrow: "Otherwise?"

Shu Zi leaned back in her seat and muttered, "Fine, I thought I could slack off."

Gu Yan's lips curved slightly, but he didn't say anything.

On the other side, Fang Yutong followed Jiang Yunyou to the entrance of a cultural and creative park converted from an old residential building.

The exterior walls are covered with vines, and the wrought iron sign bears the studio's name in handwritten lettering, which looks somewhat informal but very stylish.

Jiang Yunyou parked the car and, while unbuckling his seatbelt, said:

"We've arrived. The place is a bit remote, but it's quiet and peaceful, so we won't be bothered."

Fang Yutong followed him out of the car, looked around at the surroundings, and asked, "Do you usually stay here?"
