On the morning of the third day, Ye Wen woke up to find her phone buzzing with notifications.
Everywhere she looked, there were rumors about our couple team winning the reality show, suggesting some sort of scandal behind it.
"These rumors are seriously damaging my reputation. I need to find a way to clarify them," Ye Wen said.
I chuckled, "This is probably just the production team trying to create buzz. There's no need to take it too seriously."
Ye Wen frowned, "But I didn't receive any related scripts!"
I smiled again, "The production team will definitely elevate certain people for the sake of ratings and create talking points."
Ye Wen frowned deeper, "But we didn't cheat; we won fairly."
I shrugged, "It doesn't matter. As long as we know we did our best, that's what counts."
Ye Wen looked at me with concern, "You weren't like this before."
I raised an eyebrow, "How was I before?"
She replied, "You used to be ambitious and principled."
I laughed lightly, "That was a long time ago; I've forgotten all about it."
Since entering the entertainment industry, I had faced many harsh realities.
My pride and self-esteem had been worn down to nothing.
In the end, I was just a minor character in this vast world.
That little pride is hardly worth mentioning.
Ye Wen frowned, "But you clearly..."
I interrupted him, "In the past, it was the past; now is now."
Ye Wen frowned again, "I know it's not easy for you to enter the entertainment industry, but you can't..."
I cut him off, "Can't what?"
Ye Wen frowned, "Can't be so worldly."
I smiled lightly, "I am a worldly person by nature."
Ye Wen frowned once more, "But..."
I interrupted him again, "No more buts. This is who I am now."
Ye Wen looked at me, a hint of concern in his eyes.
I smiled again, "It's okay; I've long since gotten used to it."
He gazed at me with that same concern.
He gently embraced me and said, "It's okay; I can become the Male Virtue Class Leader. My little class leader must be the female lead."
His words stirred an inexplicable emotion within me.
I seemed to see that yellowed old photograph amidst the scenery of the small town.
At that time, I was still an ambitious young woman.
But now, I have become so worldly.
How ridiculous!
On the morning of the third day, Chen Xiaohui fell ill.
Old Li busily took care of her.
The others sat on the sofa, bored, waiting.
The director had a sudden idea and decided to film a segment of Truth or Dare.
Sister Zhao was the first to draw a card.
She smiled and asked, “Xiao Lang Gou, do you think what the netizens say is true?”
Xiao Lang Gou paused for a moment, then frowned and replied, “What’s true?”
Sister Zhao chuckled, “They say you’re living off me.”
Xiao Lang Gou was taken aback and then got angry. “Nonsense! I’m not living off anyone!”
Sister Zhao laughed again, “Then what do you say they’re saying?”
Xiao Lang Gou hesitated for a moment before getting angry again. “They say I’m a pretty boy! Living off women!”
Sister Zhao smiled and asked, “Then how do you see yourself?”
Xiao Lang Gou paused for a moment, then became furious. "I am their ancestor!"
The comments flooded in joyfully—
"Hahaha! Xiao Lang Gou is too funny!"
"Hahaha! Xiao Lang Gou really knows how to entertain!"
"Hahaha! Xiao Lang Gou is just too amusing!"
"Hahaha! Xiao Lang Gou is so entertaining!"
"Hahaha! Xiao Lang Gou is incredibly interesting!"
"Hahaha! Xiao Lang Gou is just so lovable!"
"Hahaha! Xiao Lang Gou is utterly captivating!"
"Hahaha! Xiao Lang Gou is making my heart race!"
"Hahaha! Xiao Lang Gou is simply enchanting!"
"Hahaha! Xiao Lang Gou is driving everyone crazy!"
Next, it was my turn.
