That evening.
The founders of the selection competition all knelt before the cameras to apologize.
"We apologize to everyone, and to all the viewers who have supported our show."
"We apologize to the contestants from all countries."
"We have decided... to temporarily suspend the competition!!"
"Also..."
After apologizing, the competition organizers stood up and ordered people to bring out neon lights and banners.
They cheerfully celebrated: "To commemorate breaking the 40% viewership mark!"
"We have unanimously decided!"
"All expenses for tourists visiting the island during this season will be covered by us, the competition organizers!"
"Oh, and in the top left corner, there are 10,000 household robots worth 1 billion, provided by our investor, the Qian Family! Just click follow and you can take one home!"
"Additionally, all livestream viewers will receive a 1 yuan cash red packet, also provided by the Qian Family!"
"Now for our commercial break."
"Qian Technology, changing the era..."
"..."
"..."
In the hotel room.
"What! Are they crazy?!"
Su Muwan turned off the TV with a click, her expression shocked.
She was stunned - what kind of normal person apologizes one second and then pulls out celebration banners the next?!
And was this really the time for commercial breaks?
Was something wrong with the competition organizers' heads?
She checked various online platforms, certain that netizens must be tearing the organizers apart!
However.
"Netizen A: Actually, I think this show is quite entertaining, much more interesting than before."
"Netizen B: Yeah, the production team really knows how to create content, this must be for show effect."
"Netizen C: What scandal? It's all fake, this competition is the most fair and just ("
Hey hey hey.
Su Muwan's eye twitched. She finally understood why she became the big villain in her past life - she was constantly provoked to her breaking point.
This is just...!
This world isn't normal at all!!
Am I the only sane person in the world?
By the way, Netizen C, you forgot to delete your parenthesis!
Are paid commenters this unprofessional these days?
"Young Miss, don't be angry. We won't come next time."
"This kind of competition is completely meaningless."
Qin Luo brought a plate of fruit to Su Muwan's side. He picked up a slice of watermelon and held it to her mouth: "Here, Young Miss."
Su Muwan glanced at it, let out a light snort, and took a bite: "This awful place (munch munch munch) I (munch munch munch) will never come back again!"
Mmm~ this seedless watermelon is so sweet!
Bursting with juice with every bite~
Qin Luo sat nearby, smiling as he watched Su Muwan, noticing how she resembled a little hamster - whenever watermelon was pushed towards her mouth, it would automatically disappear.
Thinking this, he picked up another slice and held it to Su Muwan's mouth.
Munch munch munch.
In an instant, only the rind remained of the watermelon slice.
Another slice.
Munch munch munch.
And another.
Munch....
Su Muwan's mouth was too full to eat more. She moved her mouth away and first swallowed what she had.
Then she glared at Qin Luo, who had been continuously feeding her, with embarrassment: "Stop!! Is this how you feed someone watermelon?!"
Qin Luo blinked and smiled: "Sorry, but Young Miss is just too adorable when eating. I couldn't help but get addicted to feeding you."
??
At these words.
Su Muwan's face reddened.
She glared at Qin Luo.
Hey!
Please don't say such embarrassing things with a smile!
Qin Luo, you rascal, you must spend all day talking with those seductive hussies, that's why such compliments roll off your tongue so easily!
Thinking this.
Su Muwan picked up a slice of watermelon herself and snorted lightly: "Smooth talker!"
"Come closer, I'll let you experience what it's like to be fed!"
Seeing Su Muwan's reaction, Qin Luo's smile deepened.
Ah, the Young Miss being defiant like this was just too cute.
So he feigned innocence and looked at her: "Oh? Young Miss wants to feed me watermelon herself? Am I worthy of such treatment?"
Seeing his expression, Su Muwan felt even more embarrassed, her cheeks flushing pink, but unwilling to back down, she snorted: "Stop talking nonsense! Since you're my follower, just do as you're told."
After speaking, she picked up a slice of watermelon, hesitated slightly, then said in a pretend-angry voice: "Hurry up, don't keep me waiting!"
Seeing this, Qin Luo dropped the act.
He obediently leaned forward, opening his mouth to accept the feeding.
His eyes narrowed slightly, carrying a peculiar smile.
Su Muwan... was quite different from the character profile the system had given him.
She was distinct from the villain in the character profile.
Instead, she was a richer, more authentic person.
As Qin Luo leaned closer, Su Muwan wasn't sure if it was because of her cold constitution or if Qin Luo's physique was special.
In any case, she could feel the scorching heat radiating from him.
It was just... warm.
Su Muwan's eyes flickered as she reached out, gently bringing the watermelon to Qin Luo's lips.
Qin Luo slightly closed his mouth.
Seeing him actually bite down, Su Muwan felt an indescribable sensation in her heart.
She bit her lip, trying hard not to laugh out loud.
Hehehe~
From this angle, Qin Luo looked like a little puppy....
"Munch..."
Watermelon juice splashed as Qin Luo took a gentle bite, then chewed a few times before deliberately saying: "Mmm, watermelon fed by Young Miss really is different, it's especially sweet."
Hearing his words, Su Muwan's heart seemed to beat faster.
She tried to maintain her composure and said: "Stop sweet-talking, just eat your watermelon!"
As she spoke, while Qin Luo was eating the watermelon.
Su Muwan's lips curled slightly upward as she reached out and gently placed her hand on Qin Luo's head.
She slowly stroked his head, her movements gentle and natural, like petting an obedient puppy.
Feeling Su Muwan's hand gently rubbing his head, Qin Luo looked up with a smile: "Young Miss, what are you doing?"
Hearing this, Su Muwan's face showed a trace of shyness, but she still tried to maintain her composure and said: "Since you're being so good, consider it a reward."
Qin Luo raised an eyebrow and asked: "Oh? So should I continue being good to receive more rewards?"
Perhaps Young Miss could use a different body part... ahem.
Just as he thought this.
Su Muwan put on a pretend-haughty expression and lightly tapped Qin Luo's head, snorting: "Don't push your luck, you little puppy."
"Just keep being like Boqi and make me happy!"
Wait, now you're getting cocky?
Qin Luo smiled helplessly and raised his hand, gently gripping Su Muwan's wrist.
Under Su Muwan's slightly trembling gaze, Qin Luo's lips curled into a smile, his eyes showing a hint of playfulness: "Young Miss, saying such things, are you really treating me as your pet?"
"So Young Miss likes this kind of dynamic?"
