After I fell in the romance drama, my nemesis kissed me.

"Ah Yuan, what would you like to eat?"

"Whatever."

"Ah Yuan! You..."

"Okay, we think we bought fish today. How about we make braised fish?"

"Sure, what do you need me to do?"

"Ah Yuan, you go and rest first, I'll do it myself."

"Mr. Chen, what are we doing now...?"

"Let's go, there shouldn't be anything else for us."

us?

"What's wrong?"

Chen Yubai looked at the silent Lin Yanyan with some confusion.

"Mr. Chen..." Before she could finish speaking, Chen Yubai interrupted her: "Don't call me Mr. Chen, just call me Yubai, that's what my friends call me."

Lin Yanyan blinked, "Okay, Brother Yu Bai."

"Then don't call me Miss Lin, just call me..."

Ah Yan? No way! Yan Yan? Absolutely not!!!

Lin Yanyan racked her brains, and then she had an idea!

"Brother Yu Bai, you can call me Tuan Duo, that's what my grandma always calls me."

"Tuanduo?"

Lin Yanyan immediately knew what Chen Yubai was thinking when she saw him frowning.

"It's okay, we're not close. That's what my family calls me." Lin Yanyan's lips twitched.

If it weren't for the fact that your deceased beloved also had the character "妍" in her name, I wouldn't have taken my cat's name.

"Okay, Tuan... Tuan Duo."

For some reason, Chen Yubai always felt his ears were burning.

No, I can't let Ah-Yan down!

She is Lin Yanyan, not my Ayan... not my Ayan...

Lin Yanyan looked at Chen Yubai's lowered head and opened her mouth.

Looks like I'm thinking about her again. What should I do? I'm terrible at comforting people.

"I'm so sorry, Miss Lin, I... I'm really sorry."

"Don't cry, look ahead, don't dwell on the past."

Chen Yubai raised his head and looked at Lin Yanyan, his face still streaked with tears.

"You...you knew?"

"Um."

"I...I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I never intended to use you as a substitute."

"I know." Lin Yan Yan sighed. "Never mind, I'll take you somewhere to calm down."

"What? What? A stand-in?"

"No, why are you crying again? It's so annoying. Why are you such a crybaby?"

"..."

Huo Jinci put the wedding rings in her hands into the cleaning solution, and her fingers twitched slightly.

"What's wrong, Ah Jin?"

"It's cold."

"What's bright? Where is it bright?"

"Silly girl, what's bright? It's cool, this cleaning agent is cool." Huo Jinci tapped He Xiuchuan, who covered her forehead and frowned.

"Didn't I tell you not to touch my forehead?!"

Huo Jinci's pupils dilated slightly, and he quickly grabbed He Xiuchuan, "I was wrong, I was really wrong."

"How are you? Calmed down yet?"

"Yes, I feel much better. Thank you, Lin Yanyan."

"It's nothing, you're welcome."

Lin Yanyan watched the waves rise and fall on the beach, then leisurely lay down on the ground, with Chen Yubai sitting behind her.

"Cough cough cough, what are you doing, Luo Chuanheng!"

"I...I feel like something's wrong...cough cough cough..."

"What did you put in it? Why does it smell so pungent? I remember you could cook, didn't I?"

"I can do it, but I can't make braised fish."

"If you can't cook, why are you making braised fish? Get out!"

Lu Yuan pushed Luo Chuanheng out, "A Yuan, I..."

"roll!!!"

"Ah Yuan, I can cook, please don't lock me out, okay? Ah Yuan..."

Lu Yuan opened the door, and Luo Chuanheng stumbled.

"Ah Yuan, believe me, I really can cook."

"Never mind, I just turned on the range hood, let's let the air circulate first."

"it is good."

"Ah Jin, help me put it on."

"it is good."

Huo Jinci picked up a ring and put it on He Xiuchuan's ring finger.

"you……"

"Chuanchuan, I remember Xu Weiyi saying to Meng Anhe, 'Anhe is the most important, you are the most important.' We've been together for so many years, but I've never confessed to you. You planned and prepared everything yourself..."

"Ah Jin, please don't..."

"Don't interrupt me, He Xiuchuan. I want to say everything I want to say today, using this pair of wedding rings as an example."

"Xu Weiyi, do you think we should go back?"

"Don't rush, wait a little longer."

"Move aside, I'll cook, you go chop the vegetables."

"Okay, then be careful, A-Yuan."

"I was careless, but you were careless too; you almost set the house on fire."

Lu Yuan tied on an apron, placed the diced chicken on the cutting board, and looked it over.

"Luo Chuanheng, where did you put the seasonings?"

"Here, I'll get it for you."

Luo Chuanheng took out a series of things such as dried chili peppers and peanuts from a shelf, and Lu Yuan looked at Luo Chuanheng speechlessly.

"What? You're afraid I'll eat it, so you put it so well hidden?"

"Ah Yuan, I..."

"Don't just stand there, hurry up and go chop the vegetables."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Luo Chuanheng quickly walked to the other side. "How about I make a cold gourd salad?"

"what ever."

Lu Yuan picked up the cooking wine and light soy sauce, poured them into the bowl containing the diced chicken, and mixed them well with her hands.

"Please stop talking, Huo Jinci, I feel a little embarrassed."

"But……"

"No buts, I know what you're thinking. I love you too, and that will never change."

"Xu Weiyi, I have a question. Why do you have a screensaver that looks so much like my phone charm?"

How did you know?

I caught a glimpse of it when I handed over my phone.

"Meng Anhe, you still don't understand?"

"You cunning thief, you've been plotting this for a long time!"

"Ah He, if it hadn't been premeditated, why would you have agreed?"

"Xu Weiyi, if I am unwilling, it will be meaningless no matter how long you have been planning it."

"Hey, Luo Chuanheng, you're really something."

Lu Yuan glanced at the oil temperature in the pan, poured in the peanuts, and started stir-frying.

"Ah Yuan, what are you doing?"

Kung Pao Chicken.

"Ah Yuan, you've learned so many dishes."

"So what? Can't it be something I want to do?"

She picked up a kitchen knife and chopped the scallions into short sections. Luo Chuanheng placed the chopped vegetables next to Lu Yuan's hand.

"I've cut it up and put it on your left, A-Yuan."

Lu Yuan took a deep breath. "Luo Chuanheng, can you please stop calling me A Yuan? What's our relationship? I've put up with you calling me A Yuan for a long time."

Luo Chuanheng put down the knife. "A-Yuan, don't you know what our relationship is?"

"I don't know if you can just shut up!"

"Ah Yuan, the character design..."

Before Luo Chuanheng could finish speaking, Lu Yuan interrupted him: "Don't keep talking about your persona. I don't care. Shut up, stop calling me 'Ah Yuan, Ah Yuan,' are you trying to summon my soul?"

"Then... Yuan Yuan?"

"Don't be angry, it's not worth it, I won't call you anymore."

Lu Yuan scooped out the peanuts and continued pouring oil into the pot.

"Brother Yubai, let's go back. It's almost noon, they should be done by now."

"Okay, let's go."

Chen Yubai stood up and bent his arm in front of Lin Yanyan, "If you can't get up, you can lean on it."

"Thanks, Brother Yu Bai."

The Sichuan peppercorns were frying in the oil. After waiting a while, Lu Yuan added the diced chicken.

"Be careful of the oil."

Luo Chuanheng whispered a few words of advice, then carried the good dishes out.

Lu Yuan paused for a moment, then continued cooking indifferently.

Luo Chuanheng, will you stay...?

Lu Yuan! Wake up!! Please!!!

Lu Yuan poured the sauce she had prepared into the pot, stir-fried it over high heat for a few seconds, sprinkled on peanuts and scallions, and then served it.

"alright."

Lu Yuan took off her apron and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Luo Chuanheng, take the dishes out."

"Okay, A-Yuan."

Lu Yuan frowned, but relaxed her expression after a short while.

Forget it, let it be. I'm so tired...

"It's so hot."

"I brought an umbrella."

"You're quite experienced."

Meng Anhe opened her umbrella. "Let's go, we should go back. We've been out for a long time."

"Okay, let's go."

Xu Weiyi stood up and pulled Meng Anhe back.

Where did these people go? We can't find them anywhere.

"Let's wait a little longer."

Huo Jinci twirled the ring on her ring finger and saw that it was a pair with the one on He Xiuchuan's finger.

"Oh, you're wearing it already?"

He Xiuchuan blushed slightly upon hearing Lu Yuan's words.

Luo Chuanheng looked at the matching rings on the two people's hands, and subconsciously rubbed his ring finger, only to find it bare. He unconsciously curled up slightly.

"We're back."

Lin Yanyan pushed open the door and looked at the people sitting at the dining table.

"Are you all seated? I'll go wash my hands first."

"Go on, go on, and remember to wash yourself thoroughly."

"Sister Lu Yuan, I'm angry."

"Now only Xu Weiyi and Meng Anhe are left. Where did they go, old man?"

"How would I know? That brat has probably run off with my daughter somewhere."

"Oh, old man, don't be like that. What if your daughter really likes him? If she ignores you, don't be upset."

Xu Weiyi pushed open the door and glanced at the situation inside the room.

"Sorry, Anhe and I will be right away."

"What are you doing?"

"Go wash your hands, everyone is already seated at the table."

Meng Anhe's heart tightened, and she quickly followed Xu Weiyi's steps.

Once everyone was seated at the table, Zhou Min's voice rang out:

"Alright, everyone's here. Let's announce the game results."

He paused for a moment, then said, "To be honest, everyone lost in this round. You didn't maintain your personas at all. Being a parent isn't something you can act out; you turned it into a romance. So—there's no punishment for this round."

"No punishment?"

"Yes." Zhou Min repeated, "As the saying goes, 'The law does not punish the masses.'"

"Really? Then does that mean...?"

Lin Yanyan's tone was full of anticipation. Zhou Min glanced at her and said directly, "Teacher Lin, don't overthink it. There's no punishment this time because this is unusual."

"Unusual? What's unusual about it?"

"Teacher Lu, the main reason we designed this activity is to let you experience what it's like to be parents in advance. After all, if any of you actually become parents, you might have children in the future."

"Having a baby? The production team is thinking that far ahead?"

"..."

"I think you will understand the responsibilities that your parents need to bear."

Zhou Min stopped and looked at the quiet people at the table. "Alright, the parents' session is over. We'll rest this afternoon. Remember to send your love messages tonight."

As soon as Zhou Min finished speaking, Lin Yanyan looked at the quiet atmosphere at the table and picked up her chopsticks first. "Stop thinking about it, the food is getting cold, let's eat."

Lin Yanyan picked up a piece of meat with her chopsticks and exclaimed, "Delicious! (•؎•)"

"Oh, I forgot to mention, tonight's 'Heartbeat Text Message' theme was: If tomorrow were the last day of recording, what would you say to the other person?"

"Cough cough cough, director, you scared me to death!"

Lin Yanyan was startled by Zhou Min's sudden words and couldn't help but cough.
