[Exactly!] The system couldn't help but feel proud, [Who doesn't like melon! With me around, you'll definitely be liked by even more people in the future!]

Yu Qianxia smiled, feeling very satisfied with the result.

Ruan Zhiyao couldn't stay where she was any longer, but she didn't leave the show. If a guest voluntarily quit, they would have to pay a penalty, which Ruan Zhiyao couldn't afford. So, she just made up some excuse and took a leave from Director Qian.

The next day, Yu Qianxia left the guesthouse, and Director Qian announced a new task to everyone. The first day's task was to earn money through work to buy ingredients, and the second day's task was much simpler.

The staff handed each guest a picture of classic Z City food, asking them to find the dishes in the food street.

Once all the guests found all the dishes, the third episode was almost over.

Director Qian shouted, "That's a wrap!"

Everyone relaxed, and the staff packed up their equipment and left.

Sister Rong and Xiao Ke were waiting for her outside. Yu Qianxia got into the nanny car, and the vehicle drove steadily away.

"Sister Xia, are you tired?" Sister Rong handed her some wet wipes and bottled water.

Yu Qianxia took the items from Sister Rong and shook her head. "I'm not tired, it's been really fulfilling."

Xiao Ke waved her hand excitedly and said, "Following Sister Qianxia and watching the gossip, I've been more than satisfied!"

Since the next recording was in H City, Sister Rong directly booked flight tickets to H City.

The flight landed after three hours, and Yu Qianxia and the others checked into the hotel.

"Sister Qianxia, the voting has started!" Xiao Ke said excitedly, holding up her phone.

Sister Rong spoke with confidence, "This time, our Xia Xia will definitely get the most popular votes!"

Xiao Ke nodded eagerly, "That's right, that's right!"

Yu Qianxia finished organizing her luggage and joined them in watching the voting results.

As soon as she clicked into the page, it was still lagging badly.

After waiting for a few minutes, the page finally returned to normal.

Xiao Ke gasped, pointing at the ranking on the phone, "Oh my god! Now Sister Qianxia is in first place!"

Yu Qianxia's eyes lingered on the top. At that moment, Sister Rong excitedly said, "Last time, Xia Xia's popularity was over 2.6 million, and now her votes have already surpassed that! This time, the votes are definitely higher!"

[Every day, let's help the rotten fish leave the industry!]

[Help the rotten fish leave the industry!]

Yu Qianxia glanced at the group chat for a moment before exiting the conversation.

These trending topics were no longer something Yu Qianxia needed to worry about. Sister Rong was already handling it. She had bought a few articles and crafted a narrative that resonated with many netizens. The momentum of the trending topics was slowly dying down under the pressure of public opinion, losing its intensity.

[How is it unfair? Since the first episode, what black materials about Yu Qianxia have actually been true? Did she interfere with Lu Jianchen and Jiang Shasha's relationship? No! Did she steal Si Churou's audition spot? No! In fact, she and Si Churou have become the best of friends! Did she treat Ruan Zhiyu poorly? No! Everything was Ruan Zhiyu's own doing! All these black materials are baseless!]

[We, the netizens, aren't fools. We have the ability to judge what's real and what's not in the entertainment industry. Whether Yu Qianxia deserves our support, we know it ourselves, and it's our decision!]

[Exactly! Yu Qianxia may have started a gossip account, which is a pretty unique move, but the votes supporting her are because we genuinely like her!]

[Besides, what's wrong with following her to eat melon (watch the drama)? We love eating melon, and we love following her to eat it, and then supporting her!]

The public opinion quickly reversed, and the three trending topics vanished soon after.

Later that night, Yu Qianxia lay back in bed, her brows furrowed in deep thought. She had been thinking about one particular question.

Why had she spoken the truth so impulsively?

Despite now being bound to the gossip system, gaining time for clarity, and no longer being controlled by her character or the plot, how had she still been unable to hold herself back from speaking the truth?

It was strange.

Yu Qianxia replayed the three episodes of the variety show, paying close attention to the scattered details. If she had to link them to Yan Zhirou, there was one thing: every episode, Yan Zhirou's image would be damaged due to black materials, and the system had told her that Yan Zhirou valued her fans deeply. So, whenever black material surfaced, Yan Zhirou would work hard to retain her fans.

Yu Qianxia scrolled through her Weibo and saw that Yan Zhirou would go live to chat with fans and give gifts. Not cheap gifts, either—many high-end cosmetics and accessories.

Yu Qianxia thought for a long while, but something about Yan Zhirou's overemphasis on her fans didn't feel right.

Perhaps, the secret behind Yan Zhirou was tied to her fans.

The next day, Sister Rong and Xiao Ke woke Yu Qianxia up as usual.

"Sister Qianxia, I'll do your makeup," Xiao Ke said, opening the makeup bag.

Yu Qianxia nodded, still looking half-asleep. She kept her eyes half-lidded, her dark short hair smooth against her fair neck.

Xiao Ke smiled softly. Without her usual sharp presence, Yu Qianxia looked like a lazy cat, her claws sheathed, her softness almost irresistibly cute.

Yu Qianxia kept her eyes closed as Xiao Ke worked on her makeup.

Sister Rong Jie leaned in and reminded her, "Xia Xia, we're going to the Mu Hua headquarters to shoot the jewelry advertisement."

Yu Qianxia opened her eyes, her drowsy gaze slowly sharpening. "Okay, I got it."

At that moment, Yu Qianxia fully woke up. She couldn't resist stretching her arms and letting out a casual yawn.

"Sister Qianxia, the makeup artist from Mu Hua will be doing your final makeup and outfit changes, so I only did a light makeup for you," Xiao Ke said after finishing. She packed up the makeup bag.

Yu Qianxia nodded, "Mm, okay."

After saying that, she stood up and went with the two of them to the hotel's underground parking lot.
