Chapter 4.1 - Hurry Up and Kneel to Address Sister Ning! (1)
On the way to the recording of “Love Destiny,” the system kept persuading Ning Chuchu earnestly, “Host, even though I’m forcing you to tell the truth, I’m really doing it for your own good! I promise, as long as you cooperate with me and become an absolutely honest person in the future, you can reverse the current unfavorable situation and achieve unlimited glory, just like in the original book!”
Ning Chuchu’s face showed a smile that wasn’t quite a smile. She no longer appeared as gentle and amiable as usual but instead had a somewhat profound and inscrutable coldness.
She chatted with her manager about the upcoming work while conversing telepathically with the mysterious system, “If you want me to believe you, then use results to convince me.”
Ning Chuchu had long shed her naivety and wouldn’t easily trust others anymore.
The system seemed sincere, and its methods, surpassing the current technological level, were astounding. After it secretly manipulated her and forced her to speak her true thoughts, she didn’t fall into a desperate situation as she had expected. Instead, she miraculously gained several benefits.
Undeniably, Ning Chuchu felt a bit tempted, but she couldn’t completely trust the system for now.
Over the years, she had gotten used to masking herself and lying, and this so-called “green tea” facade of gentleness had helped her greatly and brought her many benefits.
Of course… the last two months had been incredibly unfortunate for her. She faced one setback after another, and her career and popularity had hit rock bottom. But she couldn’t make up her mind to change her ways just as the system suggested.
Firstly, she was accustomed to being a gentle, caring, and weak green tea. It was difficult and uncomfortable for her to suddenly change her style of behavior. Secondly… she had to make sure the system was completely reliable before she could let down her guard and cooperate with it.
From now on, no matter how much the system tried to entice and persuade her, Ning Chuchu wouldn’t respond anymore. She maintained an air of composure and calm.
Until she arrived at the familiar villa, Ning Chuchu’s eyes slightly narrowed, and her heartbeat unconsciously quickened.
Love Destiny was a large-scale dating variety show prepared by Fruit TV and had been highly anticipated since its release.
The program selected nine guests, five men and four women, who would live together in this exclusive villa for three months. The guests who successfully formed a couple would receive a big prize prepared by the production team.
Among the nine guests were not only popular stars but also successful individuals in their respective fields. There were also a few rich heirs and heiresses, adding to the luxurious lineup of “Love Destiny.”
However, what attracted people most about Love Destiny was its unique recording process.
During the filming, the guests had to live in the villa, and every night from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., they would go live. The program would then edit the exciting moments from this time and broadcast them as the main episodes of the variety show.
Ning Chuchu had moved into this villa two weeks ago since the dating variety show started. During the day, she would go out to work and shoot, and at night, she had to return early to handle the live broadcast every night, which was quite exhausting.
The key problem was that this dating show seemed to be incompatible with her. Only two episodes had been aired, and the live broadcast had been going on for just half a month, but Ning Chuchu’s reputation had rapidly declined, and she had become the scheming green tea that everyone scolded.
Sometimes, Ning Chuchu even doubted if she could endure the three months until the end of the show’s recording.
But now… Ning Chuchu gently massaged her temples. Thinking about the inexplicably bound system, she felt a complex mix of nervousness and anticipation.
Hopefully, this system was reliable and could help her turn the tables in this dating variety show.
However, Ning Chuchu couldn’t help but twitch her lips at the thought of only being able to tell the truth during the show.
It was a dating show, after all!
Men and women gathered together, testing and flirting with each other. If she could only tell the absolute truth… Ning Chuchu could already foresee the extremely awkward atmosphere that would bring.
Ning Chuchu sighed and massaged her forehead. Before she could be sure of the system’s reliability, she decided to speak as little as possible.
In no time, they arrived at the villa where Love Destiny was being filmed. Looking at the familiar Love Cabin from a distance, Ning Chuchu took a deep breath and calmly got out of the car.
Her manager, Sister Zhang, seemed even more anxious than her and kept reminding her, “You’ve just offended Director Song and Liu Mei. The Love Destiny team will definitely want to get more information from you to hype things up. There will probably be many questions about this during tonight’s live broadcast, but don’t respond to any of them. Leave the follow-up to me.”
“I know,” Ning Chuchu nodded.
More words could lead to more mistakes, especially now that she was bound by a truth-telling system. She had to be cautious with her words and actions.
After bidding farewell to Sister Zhang, Ning Chuchu gracefully walked to the front of the villa. Looking at the imposing and ancient gate in front of her, she narrowed her eyes, steadied her mind, and smiled gently and elegantly as she pushed open the door calmly.
Stepping into the luxurious and exquisite villa, Ning Chuchu could clearly feel all eyes on her and cameras focused on her.
Pretending not to understand their curiosity and gossip, Ning Chuchu smiled and greeted everyone as she elegantly changed her shoes and took off her coat before gracefully sitting on the sofa.
It was past 6 p.m., and the daily live broadcast of Love Destiny had just started. Cameras were aimed at the guests sitting in the living room, ready to capture every moment.
Ning Chuchu leisurely poured herself a cup of tea. During her tea break, she subtly surveyed the other guests.
Then she noticed that a few people were missing, and one of them was her “blunt” stepsister, Yun Yirou.
Just as Ning Chuchu was puzzled, the director took the initiative to explain, “Yun Yirou received the most heart-throbbing messages from male guests yesterday, so she has a chance to go on a date today and can choose her heartthrob companion. She picked Yin Shaoquan.”
Ning Chuchu unconsciously tightened her fingers around the teacup. She smiled and nodded, pretending to be indifferent. However, when she lowered her head to drink tea, a touch of coldness flashed in her eyes.
