The live stream viewership has long surpassed ten million.
At this moment, many noticed Shen Sizhan suddenly shedding two streams of tears.
— "What am I seeing? Shen Sizhan is crying!!"
— "Wuwu, Sizhan-gege, what's wrong? My heart is breaking with yours!"
— "As we all know, tears are a man's best fishnets!"
— "Who made Shen Sizhan cry?"
— "How could someone so cold-hearted cry??"
— "He's just sleepy!"
The director had just finished questioning Xie Guanyan and was about to move on to the next person when he noticed Shen Sizhan's teary eyes.
He was startled.
"Teacher Shen, why are you crying?"
Lin Mo's smile froze as she immediately looked up at Shen Sizhan.
Oh no! Did he figure out there was something between her and Xie Guanyan?
The silver-haired young man's eyes were red, his lips bitten tightly to hold back sobs, looking utterly pitiful.
Lin Mo instinctively reached for a tissue to wipe his tears, her voice soft and sweet, "What's wrong?"
Only then did Shen Sizhan, through his misty eyes, realize that his sister wasn't crying.
Right, how could someone as strong as her cry?
Then why had she been trembling earlier?
Had he misseen?
No matter what, he couldn't expose his sister's privacy.
Shaking his head, he said, "It's nothing. I just suddenly remembered how young I was when I was born—born without a single piece of clothing, not a single friend came to visit. For the first two years of my life, I couldn't even walk. Every time I closed my eyes, all I saw was darkness. I could only celebrate my birthday once a year, and if I stopped breathing for even a second, I'd suffocate."
Lin Mo: "..."
Director: "..."
— "Wuwu, same here! Less than a minute after I was born, I suffered my first life trauma—a person in a white coat slapped me twice until I cried!"
— "Shen Sizhan, don't be so abstract, or I might fall for you!"
— "Ahhh! The moment Lin Mo heard Shen Sizhan cry, she immediately showed concern!"
— "Yes! It's mutual pining! We're saved!"
The Black-Clothed Person attacked again.
Even while crying, Shen Sizhan instinctively raised his hand, as natural as a knee-jerk reflex.
Lin Mo averted her gaze, her peach-blossom eyes lowered.
Her little brother must have cried because he thought she was sad facing her ex-boyfriend and rival.
What a silly boy.
After a few seconds of stunned silence, the director resumed the game.
He turned to Gu Jingchuan.
"Do you prefer single or double eyelids?"
Gu Jingchuan: "Double eyelids!"
Director: "Do you like girls who are fragile or strong?"
Gu Jingchuan smirked. "Strong."
Li Huanyu pressed her lips together, secretly delighted.
Gu Jingchuan saw the strength beneath her delicate appearance!
The director then questioned Li Huanyu, whose answers perfectly matched Gu Jingchuan's.
The live chat erupted with shipping frenzy.
Lin Mo listened with a dazed mind.
The male and female leads would announce their relationship on this show.
But that had nothing to do with her.
Her only job was to keep Shen Sizhan in check.
Jiang Wan's segment also ended quickly—she just liked attractive people.
By noon, the program provided a decent meal.
At the dining table, Lin Mo devoured her food with gusto, her peach-blossom eyes sparkling with joy.
Shen Sizhan kept piling dishes onto her plate until he nearly got smacked into a persimmon pancake.
Even after Lin Mo stopped him, he sulked.
Gu Jingchuan sat at the table, feeling increasingly bitter.
The show had been running for so long, yet Lin Mo hadn't glanced at him once.
How could she resist?
After staring at Lin Mo for four more seconds, he finally looked away.
Then, as if struck by inspiration, he picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of rice.
The next second, he tilted his chin at a 45-degree angle, placed a hand beside his nose, and exclaimed, "Wow~~"
He then scooped some soup, gulped it down when it "wasn't looking," coughed several times, and went, "Wow~~"
In five minutes of eating, he spent four and a half minutes going "Wow."
The entire table: "..."
— "Huh? Did I just enter a koi pond?"
— "What is he doing? This is making me inexplicably furious!"
— "Cut him some slack—he hasn't had good food in Africa for so long."
Lin Mo frowned.
What kind of cursed noise was this?
Finally, she turned to look.
Gu Jingchuan sensed her gaze and "Wow"-ed even harder.
Not just "Wow," but also "Mmm~," as if constipated.
Lin Mo: "..."
Heaven help her if her past misdeeds were exposed to millions of netizens.
She'd rather die!
Shen Sizhan instantly recognized Gu Jingchuan's ploy to grab Lin Mo's attention.
Didn't he already have a girlfriend?
He glared coldly. "Gu, you should immediately board a flight to No. 1388 Renmin Road, Mudan District, Heze City, Shandong Province. Ten meters southwest, there's a building called Classic International Tower B. Pick it up and sit on it!"
Gu Jingchuan scowled. "Shen Sizhan, have I offended you?"
— "Shen Sizhan is just seeking attention! Always targeting Actor Gu!"
— "Exactly! No bad blood between them, yet he keeps picking fights—even tried to hit him once!"
— "If not for Black people's good temper, Shen Sizhan would've been blacklisted long ago!"
The live chat flooded with insults toward Shen Sizhan.
His fans stayed silent.
There was no defending this—their idol really did have it out for Gu Jingchuan.
One fan weakly typed: "This time, our brother was just reacting to Gu Jingchuan disturbing all the guests!"
Shen Sizhan opened his mouth to retort.
Lin Mo shoved a mouthful of greens into it.
Shen Sizhan: "..."
He chewed vigorously.
The moment he swallowed and tried to speak again, Lin Mo stuffed a spoonful of rice into his mouth.
Shen Sizhan felt like the sky had fallen!
His sister still liked Gu Jingchuan—she wouldn't let him curse him out!
But her cooking was delicious.
Chew chew chew!
— "LMAO I laughed so hard my Spain and Portugal fell off, leaving only a Jiang Ziya!"
— "Shen Sizhan, you lucky brat!"
— "If you don’t appreciate it, move aside and let me eat!"
Their antics were so hilarious that everyone stared.
Xie Guanyan's gaze lingered on Lin Mo's face.
When their eyes accidentally met, her heart raced, her toes curling.
Even after being hit several times, Xie Guanyan kept watching her.
Gu Jingchuan, too furious to eat, stormed off.
Zero people followed.
The afternoon was free time.
Soon, evening arrived.
Live stream numbers kept climbing.
Shen Yihan, Shen Ji'an, and Jiang Tang were all watching.
Jin Yang, done with work, also tuned in.
The director announced, "For dinner, the guests will cook—but only two can enter the kitchen. Kitchen footage won’t be streamed, and it’s exempt from the house rules. No one outside can enter!"
"Netizens will vote online for which pair cooks:
1. Xie Guanyan & Li Huanyu
2. Xie Guanyan & Jiang Wan
3. Xie Guanyan & Lin Mo
4. Gu Jingchuan & Li Huanyu
5. Gu Jingchuan & Jiang Wan
6. Gu Jingchuan & Lin Mo
7. Shen Sizhan & Li Huanyu

Results in five minutes—the highest-voted pair cooks."
