Chapter 15 Lin Yu? This Man Certainly Draws Attention!

“Wow, just look at this outstanding man—his way of coaxing is so pampering, it’s impossible not to overthink things!”
“Sobs, in just half an hour, I’ve already fallen for Lin Yu. Brother Yu is simply the model of a modern gentleman! He can do housework and cook delicious food. Please, what kind of dream do I need to have to get a boyfriend like this?”
“Don’t fight with me! This handsome guy is mine! It’s rare to catch such a stunning guest, I swear I’ll move the marriage bureau here myself!”
“He’s so handsome! I simply can’t resist his charm. Excuse me, does anyone have his contact information?”
“Wake up, this is not a dating show!”
“Everyone, stop arguing. All my followers are top-tier hotties! If you agree, stay alive; if not…”
“Kick out those who are just fishing for followers!”
…

Lin Yu could actually cook many dishes.
But considering the female celebrities needed to maintain their figures, he ultimately decided on fish balls.
The fish balls were bouncy and tasty, but most importantly, they were low in fat and rich in nutrients.
He blanched them in water to set their shape, froze some for later to serve as a welcome treat when all the guests arrived, and arranged the rest artfully on a plate, forming a circle with a vegetable leaf as garnish.
Next, he prepared the soup base.
Lin Yu had noticed that Bai Yichu and Ji Ya had different tastes—Bai Yichu preferred spicy flavors.
“Should I prepare a new soup base?” he asked.
“A double-flavored pot!”
“Of course, the spicy pot!”
Both women answered at once, their responses clashing as they exchanged glances and then looked at Lin Yu.
Bai Yichu, fair-skinned and fond of spicy food, was from the cold north.
Ji Ya, on the other hand, epitomized the south where the climate was humid and hot, and food was generally non-spicy.
Lin Yu quickly decided that it was best to have both, so a double-flavored hot pot would be ideal.
He took two pots, filling one with chili peppers and the other with mushrooms for a mild broth, adding bones to simmer.
While the broth was cooking and the fish balls were nearly ready, he rubbed some pork offal with salt, washed it clean, and arranged it on a plate alongside the fish balls, placing everything on the dining table.
“The double-flavored hot pot is ready. Let’s eat.”
The two women sat down together, their lips curling with anticipation at the sight of the fish balls—only to see Lin Yu return to the kitchen.
“We don’t eat much. This is already enough, don’t trouble yourself further.”
Lin Yu smiled gently, knowing that female celebrities generally ate little to keep their figures, but all the ingredients he’d prepared were low-fat, low-calorie, and nourishing, with a natural sense of satiety.
There was no need to worry.

Bai Yichu, seeing Lin Yu’s insistence, stood and headed into the kitchen. “Let me clean up here.”
As a typical northern girl, she hadn’t done much housework growing up, but her parents had taught her to be polite.
Lin Yu had already done a lot—she couldn’t let him handle everything.
Meanwhile, Ji Ya, already helping herself to the fish balls, watched them quietly.
She hadn’t expected Lin Yu to suddenly become so diligent. For a month after signing the contract while waiting for the show to start, he’d been in a state of laziness.
When he first arrived, he didn’t seem serious either.
But now, unexpectedly, he was exerting himself, even making the top-tier celebrity pick up chores. Watching them busy in the kitchen, there was a distinct impression of a newlywed couple.
Are university students these days all so hidden and talented?
This strange sense of a romantic pairing… Should she start shipping them?
Ji Ya went over and pulled Lin Yu to sit beside her, whispering,
“I didn’t expect you to hide so much. Quiet until you strike, and now you’ve won over our top star so quickly?”
“You really have quite the charm.”
What nonsense!
He merely wanted to show a bit of himself on camera.
How did he suddenly become the show's heartthrob?
As a recent graduate,
And just freshly dumped,
His thoughts were pretty innocent!
Bai Yichu, just out of the kitchen, saw Ji Ya and Lin Yu sitting so close and felt an inexplicable discomfort.
He was just cooking with me a moment ago, and now he’s cozying up to the boss lady?
The sour feeling was hard to describe, but she quickly suppressed it. As a top star, her focus should be on her career, and as for men? Aren’t they all the same, just central heating!
Bai Yichu returned to her seat, watched Lin Yu and Ji Ya in silence, and began eating the fish balls.
“Thank you for your hard work.” She placed the cooked fish balls in Lin Yu’s bowl,
Her tone cold,
But her eyes clearly said:
[If you don’t eat, you’re dead.]
Lin Yu shivered involuntarily.
Goodness…
Women are terrifying!
Who can relate?

Never trust how celebrities appear online—it’s all manufactured!
Don’t fall for it!
To be fair,
The female celebrities’ appetites were surprisingly small.
The two of them together ate less than half of his usual portion, but they took the initiative to handle the kitchen cleanup.
“The taste is good, but next time, make less.”
Having eaten her fill, the young lady Ji Ya reverted to her usual cool and proud demeanor.
The two worked together to tidy up the kitchen, while Lin Yu headed upstairs to use the bathroom.
Unexpectedly, a commotion sounded outside.
“Mr. Lin… your camera is still on…”
Lin Yu looked down and a thousand expletives flashed through his mind.
The camera clipped to his collar followed his movements, shooting wherever he went…
Which meant that when he just took off his pants, everything had been caught on camera?!
“Damn!”
He was still a virgin; his ex-girlfriend hadn’t even touched his hand…
He never expected that joining a variety show would result in losing his innocence!
If the cameraman had been a woman, she’d have screamed ‘pervert’ on the spot!
The cameraman urgently contacted the director. Although the show was live, thankfully there was a backstage emergency team that blurred the footage. Otherwise, the show would have been shut down as soon as it aired.
As for the part that wasn’t immediately censored, it flashed by so quickly that the viewers didn’t manage to see much.
After the incident, the production team sent everyone upstairs to joke with Lin Yu and steer the conversation away.
The atmosphere became lively, and the comment section was filled with laughter.
“Hey, is this the kind of footage you get without a VIP subscription? Did anyone catch a glimpse of Qin Tianzhu just now?”
“?? The person above, you’re a girl! Is it appropriate for you to say something so lewd?”
“Ahhhh! To be honest, even with the blur, you could still vaguely see that it was quite impressive.”
“Everyone, please restrain yourselves. It’s not like you haven’t seen a man before. Why are you all so excited?”
…
