Chapter 75

Jiang Yan was a little puzzled, but then thought, "Could it be because of my emotional outburst last night that he feels too embarrassed to face me?"

Gu Xilin did not know her thoughts. He stayed alone in his room all day, not eating, his mind in a daze.

He had slowly come to realize that Jiang Yan was so smart, so lucid, and even had ambition, with a temper that was endearingly bad... considering it over and over, falling into her hands seemed not a bad thing.

With his arrogant and proud nature, he had never imagined himself liking someone, let alone what kind of person he would like.

But for a proud man like Gu Xilin, the only certainty was that if he wanted to obtain something, he had to take the initiative and seize it.

Just as he had figured this out, a crew member came knocking on his door, calling him down for an activity.

This activity involved interacting with the live audience. All the guests gathered on the sofas in the living room.

Jiang Yan and He Suyi sat in the middle, with Su Liangchuan sitting beside He Suyi, and Pei Yanche and Lin Changxu sitting beside Jiang Yan.

Gu Xilin scanned the room, crossing his long legs as he sat in the small space in front of Pei Yanche.

"Hey, there\'s an empty seat opposite you." Since they were live, Pei Yanche only made a low-voiced comment, pushing Lin Changxu back a bit.

The live comments joked about Gu Xilin isolating Su Liangchuan, but Su Liangchuan gave Jiang Yan a thoughtful look.

The activity began with the first segment of answering fan questions. They used a random screenshot method for selection.

Following the director\'s cue, the first question appeared, from a viewer named "Granting You a Lifetime of Longing," asking: Why does He Suyi dote on Jiang Yan so much?

This easily brought to mind the fan wars when He Suyi first joined the show.

Someone asking such a question was likely a reporter lurking in the live chat, looking to stir up drama and hot topics. But the production team had considered such hot topic questions and didn\'t filter this one out.

He Suyi was used to such things, but she still smiled and said seriously, "It\'s probably because of that genuine fondness. Since I\'m an only child, I always hoped to have someone to accompany me, which later evolved into wanting a little sister."

"To be honest, a big reason I came on this show was because of the trending search for Jiang Yan taking off Gu Xilin\'s mask. The first time I saw her, I thought, \'Wow, this little sister is so cute!\' Then I came here and found that she really is so cute!"

As she spoke, she unconsciously stroked Jiang Yan\'s hair and clothes.

Gu Xilin\'s lips pursed slightly. Ever since realizing Jiang Yan could change faces, he couldn\'t help but stare at her for a long time, watching how she deceived people and acted cute.

Although he still found her cute.

But he had also gradually noticed Jiang Yan\'s true thoughts.

Like at this moment, Jiang Yan\'s formulaic fake smile faltered, and then amusement flickered in her eyes as she genuinely smiled. It was more sincere than usual towards him.

He Suyi really knew how to talk.

Gu Xilin silently scoffed. You should go take a course on emotional intelligence if even a heartless little deceiver like her can move you.

The audience\'s comments gradually became strange:

[Ahem, so why did Gu Xilin suddenly pinch his fingers and sneer coldly?]

[Oh my, maybe his hand was itchy, and so were his teeth.]

[Could it be he\'s planning to use that trick again of intentionally being harsh to the little sister, only to take the chance to hug her?]

[Sigh, all this boils down to Gu Xilin being jealous, doesn\'t it?]

[Alas, those above don\'t understand the art of subtlety at all.]

Fortunately, since Jiang Yan and the others were farthest away, they didn\'t see the comments on the screen clearly, and Gu Xilin\'s attention wasn\'t on them either.

Pei Yanche and Lin Changxu were equally confused, and even if they had seen the comments, they wouldn\'t have understood. Only Su Liangchuan became increasingly certain of a particular guess.

The following fan questions were all over the place.

Some asked how many seasons the show would run; some asked about He Suyi\'s future plans; some asked if Lin Changxu would act in movies; some asked if Su Liangchuan had a partner; some asked why Pei Yanche was so bad at gaming; some asked if Jiang Yan liked the gifts fans sent her...

But there were no questions about Gu Xilin at all.

It was no surprise, as Gu Xilin\'s temperament and personality were well-known to all—a typical arrogant celebrity in the industry. He had his own set of boundaries and principles, arrogant and independent, someone no one dared provoke easily. As the saying went, "You can play and fool around, but don\'t mess with Mr. Gu."

It wasn\'t until the very end, when this segment was about to conclude, that someone who seemed unable to sit still any longer used a default avatar with a random username to ask: Does Teacher Gu have an ideal type?

The hidden agenda behind this question made all the viewers who had been sending comments stop in their tracks, open their eyes wide, and prick up their ears, waiting for an answer.

Then they noticed that ever since coming downstairs, Gu Xilin, who had been dazed and distracted, suddenly paused, his ears slowly turning red.

Yet he himself seemed oblivious to his own flustered state, forcibly composed as he fixed his gaze on the screen, his voice trembling as he uttered a few descriptive words: "A bit short in height, with a not-so-good temper, looking very cute..."

The redness crept up to his cheeks as he went on unaware, describing more and more: "With soft, smooth hair that can be tied into two braids, big black eyes, liking sweets, with round little nails," and even subtly hinting, "And able to share some of her delicious treats with me."

The live audience went wild with delight:

[I\'m so amazed! Gu Xilin has even planned out his ideal type\'s hair strands and nails!]

[A blind person could see he\'s describing Jiang Yan!]

[My dear has a bad temper?]

[He must have used up all the descriptive words!]

[Is this what happens when even a famous singer-songwriter\'s cultural level drops in front of someone they like, describing a person\'s eyes as "big black ones"?]

[I was wondering earlier if Gu Xilin had blossomed like an iron tree, but it turns out it\'s Jiang Yan, so no problem.]

[Doesn\'t the last sentence have some special meaning? It sounds like there\'s a story behind it! I\'m so curious!]

The guests present were basically all perplexed, only feeling that Gu Xilin might have started a romance, since he was being too obvious about it, but they couldn\'t say anything to remind him because of the live broadcast.

Except for Su Liangchuan.

After Gu Xilin finished speaking, he added a "He Suyi". She lowered her eyes discreetly and loosely put her arm around Jiang Yan\'s shoulders, pulling her closer.

Jiang Yan was no fool and could naturally understand the implication, but she didn\'t seem too surprised. Last night when Gu Xilin walked out of the bedroom, she had already guessed.

After all, a certain someone\'s jealous nature had never changed from start to finish.
