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

She looked at Gu Yan.

Gu Yan's lips curled up, his eyes seeming to say, "I explained, but he doesn't believe me, and there's nothing I can do."

Shu Zi again: "..."

She gave up completely.

She stood up, gave Mark a polite smile, and then walked expressionlessly toward the hidden door inside the office, which was Gu Yan's lounge.

Without turning around, she said, "You guys chat, I'm leaving."

Out of sight, out of mind.

Meanwhile, in the studio.

After Jiang Yunyou finished playing a section, he stopped and turned to look at Fang Yutong on the sofa:

"Sister Yutong, what do you think? Give me some feedback."

Fang Yutong paused for two seconds, then gave her evaluation seriously:

"The melody is very nice, and the arrangement is very layered. I think it would be even better if the chorus were a bit more prominent."

Jiang Yunyou nodded, turned back thoughtfully, and jotted down a few notes in the notebook beside him:

"That makes sense. I did flatten the chorus a bit. I'll adjust it again later."

Fang Yutong smiled slightly as she watched him take notes with his head down.

[Wait, she can really understand?]

She was faking it.

Fang Yutong shifted to a more relaxed sitting position: "Is this how you usually write songs, starting with the melody and then adding the lyrics?"

Jiang Yunyou leaned back in his chair and thought for a moment:

"Not necessarily, it depends on my mood."

"Sometimes the lyrics come first, sometimes the melody comes first, and sometimes I dream about a melody in the middle of the night, and then I get up in a daze and grab my phone to record it."

He gestured:

"Once I woke up in the middle of the night and a melody popped into my head. I was groping for my phone in the dark when I stepped on an effects pedal on the floor, tripped, and my phone flew off and hit the wall."

"The first half of what I recorded was the melody, and the second half was the sound of me swearing."

Fang Yutong was amused by him and asked, "Was that swearing voice used later?"

Jiang Yunyou said earnestly, "I want to use it, but the styles aren't quite consistent."

Fang Yutong laughed so hard her shoulders shook.

[Hahahaha, the style is not consistent at all, it really is very inconsistent.]

To be fair, Jiang Yunyou is quite handsome when he's serious about making music.

Our Youbao is just a little bit abstract, so much so that his comedic talent makes you overlook his good looks.

Ahhhhh, the two of them together look so harmonious, so adorable!

【Are you serious, upstairs? You're already shipping them?】

【No way, it's only been a few minutes and they're already shipping them? You guys really don't discriminate when it comes to shipping couples!】

[Let's go upstairs and get something better to eat. This is really not good. If all else fails, I suggest you go eat some sunflower seeds.]

But I really think the atmosphere is great, at least it's more interesting than Yu Shize's place.

Uh...that's true. Yu Shize's side is indeed a bit hard to describe. In comparison, this side is much better.

The way Fang Yutong looked at Youbao seemed a bit deliberate to me; I had a feeling she had ulterior motives.

On the other side, in the art studio.

Han Jingxue stood in front of the easel, dipped her brush in the palette, and then put it back on the canvas.

Shen Yihuai sat quietly in the chair by the window, his gaze fixed on her the whole time.

Han Jingxue drew for a while, then stopped, took a half step back to look at the picture, then walked closer and added a stroke.

Without looking up, she asked, "Can you usually sit still?"

Shen Yihuai said with a hint of amusement, "That depends on who's drawing me."

Han Jingxue didn't reply. Her brush paused briefly on the canvas before continuing.

When she got to the eyebrows and eyes, her wrist trembled slightly.

The stroke was very small, leaving a barely noticeable mark on the canvas with the tip of the brush.

She stopped, stared at it for a while, then looked down at her right hand, her brows furrowing slightly.

She gently rotated her wrist, adjusted her grip on the pen, and then resumed writing, adding a stroke along the mark and integrating it into the overall line.

[Han Jie looks so focused when she's drawing; people who are serious about art are definitely the most charming.]

[Shen Yihuai's gaze was so direct! He didn't take his eyes off Sister Han the entire time, staring at her without moving for almost an hour. Who could stand that?]

"That depends on who's drawing me" -- Tsk tsk tsk, you've got honeyed words on your lips, haven't you? You usually seem like such a serious person, how come you turn out like this in front of Sister Han?

Did Sister Han's hand twitch just now?

Your hand must be sore from drawing for so long, right? Maintaining the same posture for too long can definitely get tiring.

It was probably just a slip of the hand. It's normal for artists' hands to get tired easily.

[But it doesn't look like she slipped. The expression on her face when she looked down at her hand seemed off, like her hand wasn't feeling well. It was the same in the first episode, the string was shaking a lot.]

I think so too. Sister Han must have injured her hand and can't paint for long periods of time.

In the evening, the groups returned to the villa one after another.

Shu Zi and Gu Yan arrived first, followed a little later by Shen Yihuai and Han Jingxue. Not long after, Jiang Yunyou and Fang Yutong also returned, chatting as they walked, seemingly enjoying a pleasant atmosphere.

Yu Shize was still sitting behind the table in the corner of the living room.

The live stream was still running on the phone stand in front of him.

His water glass was empty, and his voice was a bit hoarse than in the afternoon, but he still maintained his professional smile, though he looked utterly miserable.

The comments section was flooded with messages, and all sorts of questions kept popping up.

[Teacher Yu, what does it feel like to be rejected by three people in turn? Share your experience!]

[Teacher Yu, do you feel superfluous today? What is your role in this program? Just a background character?]

Teacher Yu, do you think you still have a chance to turn things around? Or are you already prepared to give up?

[Teacher Yu, why did you sign up for this show in the first place? Was it to ride on Zizi's popularity?]

[Teacher Yu, how did you manage to say such things so calmly and even with a hint of pride that made people cringe? I need to learn from you. I'm very serious.]

[Teacher Yu, have you and Fang Yutong broken up? Did she cheat on you? Is it true that she and Liang Zihao were together?]

Teacher Yu, don't you feel like you have a green meadow on your head? If so, please breathe in the air.

[Teacher Yu, are Shu Zi and Gu Yan already together? What about Han Jingxue and Shen Yihuai? Tell me quickly! This is very important to me!!!]

[Teacher Yu, what would you do if you accidentally farted in front of the other guests? Apologize? Make excuses? Play dead?]
