Chapter 56: Moment of Love (5)

“You Kewei” shyly scratched his head and said, “I’m a homebody. Besides training, I rarely go out. So, I don’t have a girlfriend.”

Everyone laughed knowingly.

Well, homebodies tend to stay indoors and often don’t have girlfriends, even if they are quite outstanding.

This little chat sent the barrage comments soaring once again.

“Little Brother cooking like that makes my heart flutter!”

“Let’s give a shoutout to Little Brother You Kewei!”

“Ahhhh, a guy who’s good both in the living room and the kitchen? I’m all for it!”

“Did anyone else notice? The Young Lady keeps saying she’s just so-so, yet she’s scooping up huge spoonfuls of rice!”

“Hahaha, I saw that too. Such a cute Young Lady. Talks a big game but her actions say otherwise.”

“Little Brother doesn’t, have, a, girl, friend!” @InfiniteGoodStories, all at Jinjiang Literature City

“I’m in love! So handsome!”

“You Kewei is so shy!”

“I think he’s blushing! 💖💖”

While eating, everyone was surprised to discover that You Kewei had an enormous appetite—he ate three big bowls of rice all by himself.

Immediately, the group exchanged meaningful glances.

Qiaoqiaoqiaoyue asked with a teasing tone, “Wow, You Kewei, you eat so much! I can barely finish half a bowl, and you’re downing three.”

Then she laughed coquettishly, “How do you eat that much and not gain weight? I’m the type who gains weight just by drinking cold water. I’m so jealous of you, OBOJ!”

Her words instantly drew everyone’s attention to You Kewei.

Although Qiaoqiaoqiaoyue was joking at the end, no one paid it much mind.

The atmosphere turned strange, tense—ready to snap at any moment.

Su Luo had no doubt that if You Kewei showed even a slight sign of hesitation or stammered, everyone would rush to submit “Large Appetite” as his hidden trait—including herself.

But clearly, You Kewei wouldn’t give away such a big flaw.

He pursed his lips and smiled, “You all know I’m an athlete, right? I have to train a lot every day, so naturally, my appetite has increased.”

His words were casual, leaving everyone uncertain.

Was he covering up his hidden trait or deliberately trying to mislead them into submitting the wrong one?

With this doubt in mind, no one dared to submit.

Who knew if his large appetite was real or just a ruse?

Su Luo, however, had other thoughts.

She now believed “Large Appetite” might indeed be one of You Kewei’s hidden traits because she noticed a pattern.

Su Luo realized that “Large Appetite” could be transformed into “Loves Eating Rice,” and “Germophobia” could turn into “Loves Cleanliness,” while she herself was “Loves Sweets.”

They all shared a common thread.

That’s right—just now, when she saw You Kewei eating voraciously, Su Luo finally understood the similarity among these three: they all represented things the person liked!

But Su Luo also worried You Kewei might have discovered this rule and was deliberately misleading others.

So, she decided not to submit the hidden trait just yet; she needed to discuss it with Yun Feibai first.

After finishing their meal, everyone returned to their rooms.

Su Luo was told there would be another segment coming up, so she patiently waited on her bed.

Sure enough, after a while, the broadcast sounded: “Please ‘Ji Hei’ proceed to the Broadcast Studio to record today’s ‘Moment of Love.'”

Su Luo was puzzled, ‘What was this all about? Was “Moment of Love” for confessions? Or expressing who you liked today?’

She had to admit, she was curious.

Soon, her question was answered.

“Please ‘Lost’ proceed to the Broadcast Studio to record today’s ‘Moment of Love.'”

Su Luo stood up and walked toward the Broadcast Studio.

Inside, the familiar row of blue sofas awaited her, but now there was a camera set up in front.

A small speaker in the studio crackled: “Who do you like most today? And why?”

Ah!

Just as she thought.

Su Luo gathered her thoughts and said, “As for today’s male guests… well, most of them were so-so. If I had to pick the best among the ‘shorties,’ I guess ‘Ji Hei’ would be the one.”

“As for why…” Su Luo pretended to think hard, then raised her chin proudly, “Do I really need a reason to have a crush on someone?”

She didn’t elaborate.

What she didn’t know was that the barrage comments were already exploding.

“What divine duo is this? Love at first sight?”

“They both picked each other—I’m so sweet, aaahhhh!”

“One says the other’s cute, the other says the first is gentle. Ah! I’m dead!”

“Gentle professor × tsundere Young Lady, I love it!”

“What should I do? Can someone write a story about this? I really want to see it!”

“So that’s why the professor frowned earlier—because of the Bai Lianhua’s nonsense?”

“Red Rose faction wins!”

“Though the Young Lady said she was picking the least bad, when it came down to it, she was totally decisive!”

“Tsundere or not, you can only judge the real feelings through the little details.”

After finishing the recording of “Moment of Love,” Su Luo finally returned to her room.

But just as she sat on the bed, she remembered something.

After some thought, she got up and went to Yun Feibai’s room.

When the door opened, she saw a stunning scene—a handsome man just out of the bath.

Yun Feibai had just finished showering, still covered in steam.

His hair was wet, giving off a somewhat alluring vibe.

He was also wearing glasses, seemingly to protect his image, having put them on before opening the door.

Yet this only added to an air of restraint, making one wonder what kind of charm he’d exude in bed.

He was still wearing a bathrobe, hinting at a subtly impressive figure.

Su Luo felt her nose twitch.

Once inside, she cleared her throat and said, “I’ve figured out a pattern in one of the groups.”

She didn’t say it outright, but Yun Feibai knew what she meant.

Raising an eyebrow, he said, “Do tell.”

Su Luo explained, “Both Germophobia and Loves Sweets share the trait of liking something.”

Yun Feibai thought carefully and said, “True, but how do you know that’s the common point? What if there’s another?”

Su Luo said, “Look at You Kewei’s large appetite today—isn’t that just a way of saying he loves eating rice?”

Yun Feibai nodded, “Makes sense. So you think You Kewei’s behavior today wasn’t just a bluff but genuine?”

Su Luo nodded, “Right. So I want to submit it.”

Yun Feibai said, “If the submission fails, there might be negative consequences. Should I do it?”

Su Luo shook her head and said, “No, I insist. I’ll bear the consequences myself.”

After speaking, she took a deep breath and addressed the System: “I believe one of You Kewei’s hidden traits is Large Appetite.”

The System responded: “Are you sure you want to submit?”

Su Luo replied firmly, “Yes.”

The System notification sounded:

“Ding, submission successful. Verifying…”

“Ding, correct. Player [Lost] has successfully discovered one hidden trait of player [You Kewei].”

‘Success!’ Su Luo exhaled in relief and laughed with Yun Feibai.

This was great—not only did they find a hidden trait, but they also added a debuff to their opponent.

Plus, now they could know the opponent’s debuff.

Three birds with one stone.

The next morning, Su Luo got up on time and picked out a red-themed outfit—a loose red sweatshirt paired with denim shorts that barely reached her upper thighs.

The outfit, matched with her petite figure, gave off the trendy illusion of wearing no pants at all.

As usual, she painted her nails red.

Dressed, Su Luo left her room excitedly, eager to find out what the debuff was.

To her surprise, there was not a single boy in the hall—only Ice having breakfast in the living room.

Ice wore a very schoolgirl-like outfit—a white top matched with a sky-blue pleated mini skirt, paired with that innocent first-love face.

Su Luo couldn’t help but think, this must be the high school’s campus queen!

But strangely, Su Luo glanced at the clock in the living room—yes, it was exactly eight o’clock.

Had none of the boys gotten up yet?

Ice noticed Su Luo looking over and shrugged.

“I’m wondering the same. I got up at seven, and you’re the first one I’ve seen come out besides me.”

Su Luo nodded, grabbed a steamed bun from the table, and sat down beside Ice to eat.

Ice casually asked, “You Kewei ate so much yesterday, right? I really think that’s his hidden trait.”

Su Luo already knew that Ice and You Kewei were very likely teammates, so she was aware Ice was testing her.

So she played dumb, “I also thought something was off, but his explanation was too natural to doubt.”

Then she lowered her voice mysteriously and said to Ice, “Besides, I suspect he deliberately revealed a flaw to lure us into submitting that hidden trait, and then give us the debuff.”

Her serious yet wise words completely dispelled Ice’s suspicions.

She smiled, “That’s what I was thinking too.”

Suddenly, the System notification sounded:

“Ding, player [You Kewei] has only one hidden trait left.”

“Ding, player [You Kewei] has only one hidden trait left.”

“Ding, player [You Kewei] has only one hidden trait left.”

The notification repeated three times before stopping.

Su Luo was a bit surprised—had You Kewei already revealed other hidden traits yesterday?

Compared to Su Luo’s simple surprise, Ice’s expression was extremely grim.

Her teammate had two hidden traits discovered right at the start and triggered such a debuff—what were they going to do now?!
