Wake Up, This is Not a Dating Show!

Ye Nai debuted as the champion of a rap competition. Usually, if something displeased him, he would diss it a bit. This provoked many anti-fans, and his public reputation had always been poor.

His management company forced him to participate in a competitive variety show, telling him to strive to win back the public’s favor.

Ye Nai agreed on the surface: “Fine.”

In reality—

Seeing a Best Actor bring ten assistants into the production group, he said, “Here for a football match? Why are there no substitutes around?”

Seeing a top-tier idol wanting to go to the hospital over a minor injury, he said, “I advise you to bring a microscope, otherwise the doctor won’t be able to find the wound to save your life.”

When assigned an outrageous task, he said, “The production team seems seriously ill; tell the director to come handle it himself.”

His manager stayed up all night writing a resignation letter, but upon opening Weibo, discovered that Ye Nai’s public reputation had actually improved.

[It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a real person in the domestic entertainment industry hahaha!]

[This handsome guy has the aesthetic of someone retiring from the industry tomorrow. Say a few more words before you leave, I love listening to it, I love watching it!]

[Protect our… oh, it’s Ye Nai. Protect yourself then, sis is retreating first.]

Manager: OK, just keep this persona. Maintain it.

Soon, everyone realized that Ye Nai didn’t just diss anyone he met.

When Yi Xingzhi slung an arm around his shoulders and asked, “Who are you grouped with today?”, this rapper who always wore a stinky face flushed from the base of his neck all the way to the tips of his ears. His usually sharp tongue actually started to stutter: “W-with you.”

Yi Xingzhi debuted as a band champion. He was a powerhouse lead singer who played the guitar masterfully.

Fans were all worried he would be out of his element on a variety show. After all, this bro had always been aloof and unapproachable, and disliked keeping conversations going or interacting.

Who knew that during an archery segment, while Yi Xingzhi was nocking an arrow and drawing his bow, Ye Nai suddenly said from the side, “Don’t worry, you’re more accurate than him even with your eyes closed.”

Yi Xingzhi tilted his head to look at him. The sharp gaze he had while aiming a moment ago instantly turned gentle, even carrying a trace of… doting?

“You’ve seen me shoot arrows?”

Ye Nai touched his nose. “No, I haven’t.”

“If I hit the target with my eyes closed, is there a reward?”

“Ah?”

Not waiting for Ye Nai to react, Yi Xingzhi had already raised his bow again. With just a brief aim, true to his words, he closed his eyes and then—accurately hit the ten-ring bullseye.

“Think about it?” Yi Xingzhi looked back at Ye Nai, the corners of his lips curling up.

The bullet screen instantly boiled over—

[Reward what? Think about what? Expand on that, I can afford the data!]

[Asking if I don’t understand: are these two dating on the company’s dime?]

[Wake up, this is a competitive variety show, not a dating show!]

Popular CV Lin Jian had an incredibly magnetic and alluring Top voice, drawing in countless fans.

In order to maintain his popularity, he hid his true nature, working hard to play the part of an incredibly dominant, unattainable flower in public.

But in private, he was a highly popular voice blogger in the meme section of a certain site, switching freely between male and female voices. He was a complete drama queen, causing mischief all day long.

Lin Jian recently agreed to a die-hard fan’s plea to punish a fuckboy. Originally, he wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine and pull a ruthless stunt, making the fuckboy never dare to fool around again.

Who knew that after switching through several voices, he still couldn’t flirt his way into the guy’s heart. The other party was completely impervious.

There are fuckboys who are the unattainable flower type? Is that even right?

Seeing that his meme-making career was about to overturn, Lin Jian, desperate for any remedy, decided to go find his imitation target—the true unattainable flower, Yu Yin—to learn from his experience.

Yu Yin noticed that the Party B CV he was recently collaborating with was very strange. First, he liked to pretend to be aloof and cold on the outside. Second, he frequently approached him on purpose, and later even started flirting with him using various styles.

Today, he even directly asked, “Taking the liberty to ask, what is President Yu’s ideal type?”

Yu Yin’s meaningful gaze fell upon his face: “Cute, interesting, and loves acting.”

Lin Jian: “Oh.”

He didn’t really understand the CEO’s preferences, but acting it out seemed very easy…

Turning his head, he crazily spammed the fuckboy with messages—

“This weather goes perfectly with your coldness; it’s just right for cooling off the heat.”

“Why aren’t you speaking, trying to get my attention? That’s a bit unscrupulous.”

“Not playing games today? Then I want to play with something else, like your feelings.”

Surprisingly, the progress was incredibly rapid.

Until one day, after Lin Jian flawlessly and smoothly sent a combo of messages to the fuckboy, he noticed that Yu Yin’s phone lit up…

Small Theater:

Later, while Lin Jian was doing a live voice stream, Yu Yin—whom he had been avoiding for several days—showed up at his door, pinning him against the corner of the wall. Scalding breath brushed past the tips of his ears.

“Why aren’t you calling me Hubby anymore? Have you played enough with my feelings?”

The CV voice that was super Alpha just a moment ago suddenly weakened, and he said nervously, “W-wait a minute, don’t you… Mmph.”

The rest of his words were blocked by something unknown, turning into a soft, humming nasal sound.

The next second, the microphone seemed to be shut off by someone struggling.

Netizens: ???
