Fake Cannon Fodder A Becomes a Sensation in Romance Variety Shows - Chapter 23

Guest Ye Zhuoyan invites you to build a love nest with her?

Of course, accept.

Wen Huiyun vigorously typed “YES” in reply!

Ye Zhuoyan’s narrow house had changed a lot since the beginning.

Wen Huiyun’s street stall wasn’t far from the narrow house, so she often strolled over to sneak a peek, checking if there was anything she could help with.

Today, she could finally step inside openly.

Ye Zhuoyan stood waiting for her at the entrance stairs.

For ease of renovation, Ye Zhuoyan always wore pants on-site.

Today, she had on a pair of sleek black high-waisted wide-leg trousers that accentuated her already long legs, making her appear even more graceful.

Wen Huiyun waved from afar, “Zhuoyan!”

“You’re here? Come in.”

Ye Zhuoyan opened the door, and Wen Huiyun followed curiously inside. The foundation had been redone, and dark wooden flooring now covered the ground, giving the place a fresh new look.

Standing at the doorway, Ye Zhuoyan teased with a playful tone, “What does the little elf think?”

Wen Huiyun froze, glancing left and right before chuckling sheepishly.

Being caught red-handed for her little tricks didn’t feel great, it was a mix of shyness, awkwardness, and a hint of secret delight.

After a moment’s thought, Wen Huiyun replied, “I just asked the little elf, and she told me to say the old house has been renovated wonderfully. Sister Ye is amazing!”

Ye Zhuoyan gave a slight nod. “Thank you.”

“It’s what I should do.”

Wen Huiyun kept it simple, unspoken but understood because they were wives.

Taking care of one’s spouse was only natural.

With towering buildings on both sides blocking sunlight, the house had to rely on artificial lighting.

Ye Zhuoyan had carefully studied Wen Huiyun’s notes, installing multiple diffused lights to mimic natural daylight, making the indoor lighting much more comfortable.

Wen Huiyun immediately recognized that Ye Zhuoyan had applied her suggestions. It felt great to have been of help.

“Huiyun, come upstairs and take a look.”

“The second floor is done too? You work fast.”

Wen Huiyun held onto the wooden handrail as she climbed the winding stairs, the old steps creaking beneath her feet.

Ye Zhuoyan followed behind. “Not that fast. The upper floor hasn’t been touched yet. There’s something I want to show you.”

Wen Huiyun felt pleasantly surprised. Ye Zhuoyan’s attitude toward her had grown much more relaxed, even initiating conversations now.

What was this? Major progress! If winning the heroine’s favor was an academic subject, this performance would earn a scholarship.

Wen Huiyun had a feeling today was a sure win. Little La would surely report another points record tonight.

The second floor was slightly brighter than the first, but only by a little.

Since it hadn’t been renovated yet, there were no lights just the faint glow seeping through the windows.

In the dim, ambiguous light, wisps of sandalwood smoke curled through the air.

Ye Zhuoyan stepped over scattered debris and approached a cleared table, where a simple wooden box rested.

Wen Huiyun glanced at the box, then at Ye Zhuoyan.

“What’s this?”

Ye Zhuoyan gently tapped the lid before slowly turning to meet Wen Huiyun’s gaze, her eyes calm yet shimmering.

“Open it.”

Wen Huiyun hurriedly complied. Lifting the lid, she found a wooden carving nestled in crimson velvet, a robust bull, hooves raised proudly, exuding an air of majesty.

Ye Zhuoyan’s clear voice drifted through the dim light, soft and deliberate:

“This is my loving gift in return. Don’t you enjoy collecting antiques and crafts? While renovating the house, I found some camphorwood that the owner said was useless, so I had a craftsman carve your zodiac ox. It can’t compare to your collection, but it’s my heartfelt gift.”

Wen Huiyun stood frozen, her gaze locked on the small wooden ox for what seemed like an eternity.

She didn’t know that in Ye Zhuoyan’s eyes at this moment, she resembled an innocent child who’d never seen a remote-control car before, staring at their favorite toy in the whole world.

Wen’s eyes grew round, her cheeks flushed pink, and her lips slowly curved into a beaming smile.

“No no no, none of my collection could compare to this little wooden ox you gave me.”

Ye Zhuoyan covered her mouth, unable to suppress her laughter.

Indeed, the person before her wasn’t the “Wen Huiyun” she knew.

The original Wen Huiyun had adored jade and gold, looking down on paintings and wooden crafts, let alone worthless camphorwood.

Had it been the old Wen Huiyun, she would have thrown the ox away immediately and cursed her for being trash.

Ye Zhuoyan had loathed the former Wen Huiyun, but this current version.

She was thoughtful, somewhat adorable, and reasonably responsible.

Hmm, more observation and evaluation were needed. If Wen passed the assessment and was willing to cooperate, they could skip the divorce hassle, maintain their secret marriage, and continue generating buzz after the dating show ended.

Of course, Ye wouldn’t pursue the matter of Wen’s possible soul possession, if that was indeed what had happened.

Wen Huiyun had no clue about the storm raging in her beautiful wife’s mind.

Her heart ached only for her beloved.

Through transmitted memories, Wen had learned that the original host didn’t actually like antiques – she’d collected them only because her white moonlight was obsessed with valuables, and the expensive pieces had all gone to that vile supporting character.

Yet Ye Zhuoyan, unaware of this, had painstakingly crafted this zodiac carving for her QAQ

It was so touching, so heartbreaking T皿T

Wen longed to embrace Ye tightly, but Ye would never allow it, not with cameras overhead.

Before transmigrating, Wen’s father had gifted her a ceramic ox he made himself for her twentieth birthday.

That same year, her father passed away unexpectedly, prompting Wen to abandon her automation studies and return home to fulfill his legacy by managing the family restaurant.

The images of her father’s ceramic ox and Ye’s wooden ox gradually overlapped in Wen’s mind, stirring complex emotions that made her eyes sting.

It had been so long since she’d felt this warmth of being cared for by someone close.

Though countless words swirled in her heart, Wen could only swallow them all, telling Ye with red-rimmed eyes: “Thank you, Zhuoyan. I really love the little wooden ox you gave me. I truly do.”

Ye responded with a gentle smile: “Mm… The driver just called – the lumber has arrived. Could you help me assemble the cabinet?”

“Leave it to me!”

Wen carefully tucked away her precious ox.

Building a love nest with her wife.

Pure happiness.

City A had been experiencing continuous drizzles for several days.

Perhaps because of the rain, the production team delayed announcing their next activity.

The production team quickly confirmed this idea. On a sunny afternoon, after several days of rest, the AI broadcast resumed its work.

“All guests, please gather at the garden plaza!”

The same pink bus transported the guests to a luxury hotel.

specifically, its rooftop open-air swimming pool.

The vast, crystal-clear azure pool shimmered gently, soothing the soul.

High-end scents masked the chlorine smell, while surround sound played cheerful light music.

The six guests changed into swimwear as instructed and gathered by the wave pool.

The director approached with a small box, wearing a smile that was kind but only slightly.

“This activity is a small competition. The grouping method is simple and straightforward: drawing lots.”

The alpha guests had already arrived when the omega guests finally emerged from the changing rooms.

Both sides paused to discreetly observe each other’s swimwear appearances.

Wen Huiyun’s gaze instantly locked onto Ye Zhuoyan.
