We Went Viral After Appearing on a Dating Reality Show with Movie Queen O - Chapter 11

Bai Shulan instantly transformed from an observer to a participant. She raised her gaze, her beautiful peach blossom eyes meeting Gu Xingyu’s directly, devoid of warmth or any response.

Gu Xingyu’s hand froze mid-air, the cake hovering between them.

It was then that Gu Xingyu realized the foolishness of her actions.

She had unconsciously acted as if they were still at home, alone together.

But this wasn’t home. Chen Ren, the object of Bai Shulan’s affection, was here, along with their other friends.

Gu Xingyu lowered her eyes and awkwardly withdrew her hand.

Time seemed to freeze. Even the rustling of leaves and the breeze fell silent.

The only sound was the weight of everyone’s complex gazes.

Chen Ren’s sudden voice broke the tense atmosphere. “Gu Xingyu, let me have a bite.”

“…Mm, okay,” Gu Xingyu replied, meekly handing over the “weapon of her crime” like a child caught misbehaving.

“…It’s delicious—sweet but not cloying,” Chen Ren praised, turning to Qi Meng.

“Really?! Thank you! I made it myself at home,” Qi Meng replied, her voice lacking its earlier excitement.

“You made it yourself? That’s amazing!” Gu Xingyu exclaimed, smiling at her.

“I originally planned to sneak these in as my own snacks,” Qi Meng said, her expression softening considerably. “But I was surprised to find everything we needed here, so I brought them along for everyone to share during our camping trip today.”

“You can dance and bake desserts? What can’t you do?” Gao Pian chimed in, trying to smooth over the awkwardness.

The group worked hard to move past the earlier tension.

“She’s quite impressive,” Bai Shulan added slowly, though her expressionless face still conveyed a sense of detachment.

??? Gu Xingyu! You shameless Alpha! Can’t you eat from one bowl without drooling over the next pot?!

You already have Qi Meng! What are you even doing here? Our goddess is way out of your league!

Wow, using someone else’s gift to curry favor. I almost feel sorry for Qi Meng…

I have to say, Gu Xingyu and Qi Meng are a perfect match—always pulling off these ridiculous stunts.

Chen Ren and Bai Shulan are so sweet! They’re such a great couple, always stepping in to maintain the atmosphere! Love them!

Exactly! Qi Meng, how can you treat our Shulan sister like this?!

Seriously, is no one paying attention to Gao Pian? That little expression is literally me!

“I just hope everyone likes them,” Qi Meng said, sliding the plate of cupcakes toward the center of the table.

Everyone politely tried a cupcake. Bai Shulan chose a small teacup cupcake, took a delicate bite, and then set it down to pick up her teacup.

Seeing this, Chen Ren’s smile deepened. Her intuition had been right all along.

She glanced at Gu Xingyu, who was still engrossed in conversation with Gao Pian and Qi Meng, not even glancing in their direction.

The viewers in the livestream room had caught every detail:

Who gets it? Chen Ren’s smile at the goddess!

Marry her on the spot! Get together! Confess already!

A business tycoon and a Film Queen—they’re such a perfect match!

Just as everyone was enjoying a relaxing break, the program’s loudspeaker crackled to life:

Dear guests, the tents haven’t been set up yet! Please divide yourselves into two teams and complete the task! A surprise awaits you!

“Alright, break’s over,” Gao Pian said, immediately standing up.

“Xingyu, can I team up with you? I’m completely clueless about this stuff…” Qi Meng asked with a bright smile.

“Sure, sure!” Gu Xingyu nodded enthusiastically.

Seeing them like this, Bai Shulan’s eyes turned icy. She subtly withdrew her gaze and turned to Chen Ren.

When Gu Xingyu glanced at her, she found Bai Shulan staring intently at Chen Ren. Gu Xingyu quietly suppressed her restless thoughts.

“Let’s go?” Chen Ren stood up and extended a hand to Bai Shulan.

Bai Shulan ignored this thoughtful gesture and simply positioned herself beside Chen Ren.

“Gao Pian, want to join our team?” Chen Ren invited.

Thus, Gu Xingyu and Qi Meng formed one team, while Gao Pian, Chen Ren, and Bai Shulan formed the other.

Within minutes, the two teams had already established a clear hierarchy.

On Gu Xingyu’s side, the two women worked seamlessly together. Qi Meng followed Gu Xingyu’s instructions, laying out the ground cloth and handling simple tasks as her assistant, while Gu Xingyu focused on setting up the tent.

In Chen Ren’s group, Gao Pian was the only one with any experience with tents. Chen Ren and Bai Shulan were completely clueless in this area. As the group stared blankly at the scattered parts, Gu Xingyu’s tent was already taking shape.

Bai Shulan crouched on the grass, looking at the rope in her hands with confusion. From her nearby position, she glanced over at Gu Xingyu’s group.

Qi Meng was leaning affectionately close to Gu Xingyu, chatting and laughing with her, their bodies occasionally brushing against each other. From this angle, they truly looked like a well-matched, loving couple.

Bai Shulan unconsciously clenched her fists, the rough rope digging into her delicate palms, sending a sharp sting through her. She frowned involuntarily.

She averted her gaze, looking at the chaotic mess of tent parts. An inexplicable wave of frustration surged through her. Abruptly, she stared directly at Chen Ren and declared, “I’m done.”

“…Alright, you rest,” Chen Ren said, continuing her study.

Chen Ren and Bai Shulan are a team! Goddess, put your hand on it!

What should I do? Chen Ren is so considerate, I love her even more…

Look at Qi Meng next door! This is how a normal Omega should react! Omega virtues overflowing! Truly worthy of being a goddess! My heart is pounding…

This is unfair! Chen Ren, CEO of Chen Group, and Bai Shulan, the reigning Film Queen—when would they ever have to deal with this kind of thing?

Gu Xingyu looks pretty good, though. She just jumped right in and got to work.

Of course! The idle third daughter of the Gu Family has all the money and free time in the world. She probably spends her days gallivanting around, so it’s no surprise she knows this stuff.

Honestly, Qi Meng and Gu Xingyu have great chemistry. They both love pulling off these mysterious moves—they’re a perfect match! Lock them up!

Ahhh! How could they make the goddess do this kind of work?! Our Shulan is so delicate and soft; she shouldn’t have to do these rough tasks!

Holy crap, the goddess’s palms are red! The production team has no heart! They’re clearly trying to make things difficult for her!

In this situation, everyone was watching Gu Xingyu’s group, trying to learn some tent-building techniques, naturally overlooking Bai Shulan’s gaze. The viewers in the live stream were doing the same.

While Chen Ren’s group hadn’t even started, Gu Xingyu’s tent was already fully erected.

“Xingyu, you’re amazing!” Qi Meng praised happily.

“I often go camping with my friends, so I picked it up naturally. Many of my friends are really good at this too!” Gu Xingyu shared.

Gu Xingyu’s gaze unconsciously drifted to Bai Shulan, but she only saw her crouching on the ground, her fluffy head bowed, curled into a ball with her arms outstretched, looking injured and delicate.

Gu Xingyu’s heart tightened involuntarily. Bai Shulan was like a perfect rose, fragile and pampered in a greenhouse. How could Chen Ren let her help with such rough work?

Her gaze shifted to Chen Ren, who was deep in discussion with Gao Pian, both looking anxious.

“Qi Meng, let’s go help them. They don’t seem to know what they’re doing.”

Qi Meng followed Gu Xingyu’s gaze and saw only Bai Shulan, her intentions too obvious.

The smile on Qi Meng’s face faded slightly, but she still nodded and followed Gu Xingyu toward Chen Ren’s group.

A shadow suddenly fell from above. Bai Shulan looked up to see Gu Xingyu standing before her, her smile radiant as the sun. A wave of bittersweet emotion surged through Bai Shulan’s heart, overwhelming her with its intensity.

Gu Xingyu knelt down in front of her, her familiar gentle smile still in place, but her almond-shaped eyes now shone with concern and worry.

“Shulan, are you alright?” Her voice was soft and soothing, like the gentle drip of spring water, each drop falling onto the tip of Bai Shulan’s heart.

Bai Shulan froze, her eyes misting over. She quickly withdrew her hands. “I’m fine. My hand just got a little pinched, it’s a bit uncomfortable…”

Bai Shulan lowered her head, obscuring her expression. Yet somehow, Gu Xingyu could detect a hint of grievance in her voice, even though it was barely audible.

The sight of Bai Shulan’s vulnerable, pitiful state tugged at Gu Xingyu’s heart. “Shulan, let’s rinse your hand with cold water first.”

Bai Shulan nodded and stood up.

Gu Xingyu rose with her, her gaze sweeping over to Chen Ren. Shulan’s in this state, and Chen Ren’s still flirting with others?! What a terrible Alpha!
