—— Celebrity Observers Live Commentary ——
In the eyes of the production team, the content of Love Cottage Episode Eight was a very compelling installment.
At the same time, it was also recognized by all the Love Cottage staff as the beginning of Bai Baozhu’s transformation from a Green Tea Bitch into a Goddess, the start of her comeback and redemption!
Although the entire internet was currently bashing Bai Baozhu, the camera guys and gals who had tasted her food, along with the post-production editing guys and gals, unanimously believed that by the end of the broadcast, Bai Baozhu would definitely manage to turn things around!
Of course! They absolutely weren’t thinking this just because Bai Baozhu’s food was too delicious, giving them an impossibly thick filter of bias!
“Regarding last episode’s shocking twist where Bai Baozhu unexpectedly chose Wei Wenbo, I wonder if, after so many days, any of you have figured out why she did that?”
Right after the program started broadcasting, the several Celebrity Observers on Love Cottage began discussing the topic from the end of the last episode, where they had misread Bai Baozhu’s romantic interest.
There was no helping it; Bai Baozhu’s love text message was just too baffling!
So even by the eighth episode, everyone was still puzzling over why Bai Baozhu had sent the love text to Wei Wenbo.
Clearly, during the date, she hadn’t liked Wei Wenbo at all and had been disdainful of the entire library date.
However, how could these love detectives know that when Bai Baozhu cast her vote in Episode Seven, her inner self had been completely swapped out? It would be strange if anyone could figure it out.
But, while ordinary people couldn’t make sense of it, Xu Bingying, who harbored great malice towards Bai Baozhu and loved to set the narrative against her, had her own theory.
“I think Bai Baozhu realized afterwards that she hadn’t handled the date properly and was worried Wei Wenbo would dislike her. That’s why she so unexpectedly sent the text to him in the end—to win his favor.”
Xu Bingying’s words caused the other Celebrity Observers to fall silent for a moment. They were reluctant to speculate about a young woman of only twenty-one with the worst possible intentions.
After all, this was just a simple dating reality show.
“I don’t think it’s necessary to speculate about a girl with that kind of thinking. Bai Baozhu is only twenty-one this year, still not very mature.”
Song Zhi, who was always graceful and gentlemanly on the show and was called a Noble Son by countless fans, smiled and gently rebutted Xu Bingying’s malicious speculation about Bai Baozhu.
The other Celebrity Observers also agreed with Song Zhi’s view.
“Yes, Bai Baozhu is the youngest dating guest in our Love Cottage. In a sense, she’s still an immature child. Whatever surprising actions an immature child takes seem understandable.”
“She’s twenty-one, already graduated from university. I think, by any measure, Bai Baozhu can’t really be considered a child, right? Eighteen is adulthood; she no longer has the right to be willful.”
Xu Bingying didn’t dare confront Song Zhi, that super idol with tens of millions of fans who could be called a top star.
But when it came to arguing with others, she showed no softness at all.
After all, in the entire Love Cottage cast, her fan growth rate was the highest, and her exposure and topic heat were also the highest!
She was also supported by countless Love Cottage viewers.
So, Xu Bingying, who had successfully climbed up by stepping on Bai Baozhu, was already getting a bit carried away.
Coupled with the fact that bashing Bai Baozhu was now the prevailing sentiment, Xu Bingying really didn’t hold back at all when leading the charge against her.
Seeing the atmosphere in the live stream room turning a bit awkward, Liu An, the host in charge of controlling the flow on Love Cottage, quickly steered the topic away.
“Hahaha, have you all heard? The production team says this episode of Love Cottage is especially good.”
“Brother Liu An, I heard! It seems this episode of Love Cottage is not only good to watch, but also good to eat! I’m really looking forward to it.”
Xiong Mengmeng, very perceptive, cooperated with Liu An and helped shift the topic.
Thus, everyone’s attention returned to the plot of Love Cottage Episode Eight.
“I imagine the audience friends in front of their TVs are also very eager for this episode’s plot, right? Then, let’s all watch this episode of Love Cottage together now~”
Soon, the screens of the Celebrity Observers displayed the video edited by the production team.
Just as the production team had said, this episode of Love Cottage was indeed very compelling!
At the very beginning of the program, Su Han, Female Lead Number Two and the most popular among the female guests, initiated a Sun Date with Bo Shenyu, the most popular among the four male guests.
“Oh my! Su Han is really too brave! It’s hard for an ordinary girl to take such a step, right? And she was the first among everyone to propose a Sun Date.”
If Xu Bingying was a Bai Baozhu anti, then when it came to Su Han, her praise far outweighed any criticism.
“Hmm, Su Han is indeed a very brave woman.”
“But I think this Sun Date was something Su Han prepared for; it wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment idea. I believe, through this Sun Date, the romantic lines among the guests in Love Cottage will see some fluctuations.”
After the Celebrity Observers praised and analyzed Su Han’s act of initiating the Sun Date with Bo Shenyu, they continued watching.
Then, when they saw Male Lead Number Four Jiang Boyan and Female Lead Number Four Ye Jingyu both draw suns and join Su Han and Bo Shenyu’s Sun Date, forming a Four-Person Date, they really couldn’t stay calm!
“Ah—! A Four-Person Date! This is too exciting!”
“So, the clear romantic lines in Love Cottage now are that both Su Han and Ye Jingyu like Bo Shenyu, and Jiang Boyan likes Su Han? That’s the situation?”
“Who Bo Shenyu likes, I still can’t tell.”
All the Celebrity Observers were extremely excited about this Four-Person Date, discussing it non-stop.
Even the host, Liu An, very curiously asked Song Zhi and Xiong Mengmeng, who were young idols with many fans.
“Meng Meng, Song Zhi, I’m a bit curious. If it were you, would you draw a sun and participate in this kind of romantic date?”
Hearing Liu An’s question, Xiong Mengmeng furrowed her delicate brows, thought for a moment with a troubled expression, then shook her head.
“I probably wouldn’t participate.”
“Why not?”
“Because it would just be too awkward. Unless the guy clearly showed he liked me, I would absolutely not get involved.”
After getting an answer from Xiong Mengmeng, Liu An nodded understandingly and looked over at Song Zhi.
Song Zhi’s styling today was very handsome. A white shirt, black casual pants, a slender and tall figure, lazy strands of hair falling over his brows. When his deep, lazy black eyes looked at you, he really seemed like a refined and elegant Noble Son.
Even Liu An, who was used to seeing beautiful women and handsome men in the entertainment circle, had to admit that Song Zhi’s looks were truly one of a kind in the industry; no one could compare.
“I would choose to draw the sun.”
“Oh? Why?”
The Celebrity Observers on Love Cottage were all intrigued by Song Zhi’s answer.
After all, everyone knew Song Zhi was a ‘workaholic’ who was all about his career. Since his debut, he had never been involved in any gossip with a female star, or indeed, any member of the opposite sex!
So, for such a zero-gossip super star who showed no interest in romance, everyone was very curious about his views on love and relationships.
“Because it’s very difficult for me to like someone. So, if I really did have someone I liked, I would definitely put in one hundred percent effort to pursue them.”
“Ah, I really never thought our Noble Son Song Zhi was the direct type! Really never expected that…”
“I think the girl Song Zhi likes would be very happy!”
“I just feel Brother Song Zhi wouldn’t need to put in one hundred percent effort to pursue a girl! Feels like just one percent would be enough for any girl to like Brother Song Zhi!”
“Hahaha, I think, just based on Song Zhi’s face, there isn’t a girl who wouldn’t like him, right?”
…
Amidst the Celebrity Observers’ teasing of Song Zhi, they continued watching the Four-Person Date in Love Cottage Episode Eight.
The early part of the Four-Person Date proceeded quite smoothly. However, when Su Han and Ye Jingyu started arguing over a lollipop, the atmosphere became awkward again.
But soon, another high point arrived!
Su Han suddenly grabbed Bo Shenyu’s hand and, lively and playful, shook off Ye Jingyu and Jiang Boyan, and—
After completely shaking off Ye Jingyu and Jiang Boyan, she even stuffed the lollipop in her hand into Bo Shenyu’s mouth!
“Brother Shen, is it sweet?”
…
“Oh My God—! Su Han is too good at flirting! This is too sweet!”
“Yeah, so sweet! I feel like I’m watching an idol drama!”
“Ah~ Young people’s love is really too beautiful; watching it makes my heart flutter too.”
“I think after this episode’s Sun Date, the romantic line that will change the most should be Su Han and Bo Shenyu’s.”
“Judging by micro-expressions, Bo Shenyu didn’t seem to dislike Su Han’s abrupt action.”
…
Just as all the Celebrity Observers were captivated by Su Han’s Sun Date, exclaiming how sweet it was, the video jumped to the next segment, entering the home turf of the hapless brothers, Wei Wenbo and Lin Dong.
Watching this pair of partners in misery planning their Sun Date, the Celebrity Observers found it both funny and adorable.
Soon, after watching the segments of these dating guests, just as all the Celebrity Observers were pondering what the production team meant at the beginning by saying this episode was ‘good to eat’…
The video’s style suddenly shifted to the kitchen inside the Love Cottage villa.
And Bai Baozhu and Xia Tiantian were in the kitchen… giving a massage to a suckling pig.
To be precise, Bai Baozhu was giving a full-body massage to a suckling pig, while Xia Tiantian was watching Bai Baozhu, dumbfounded.
“Huh? What is Bai Baozhu doing? Is she going to cook?”
“Didn’t Bai Baozhu say she couldn’t cook? Such a whole suckling pig is really a waste of food.”
Under the puzzled gazes of the Celebrity Observers, they saw Bai Baozhu pick up a large cleaver and, with a swift raise and fall of the blade… easily dissected the entire suckling pig?!
“…?!!” The Celebrity Observers: Σ(⊙д⊙ノ)ノ
This scene was far too impactful for them! It was no less shocking than seeing a child as the perpetrator of a serial murder case!
As Bai Baozhu roasted the suckling pig! Sliced the meat! Poured oil! High-temperature fried the crispy skin! After this series of actions, everyone’s expressions gradually changed from dumbfounded to expectant!
Finally, when that dish of pork skin fried to a rosy hue, shrimp paste fried crystal clear, mouth-watering Gold Medal Roast Suckling Pig was finally completed and served on the table, everyone couldn’t help but swallow their saliva, their eyes filled with longing.
And this craving reached its peak when they saw Xia Tiantian take a bite of the Hundred-Flower Crispy Suckling Pig Piece and let out a “Crack—!” crisp sound!
“Ah! I’m so hungry!”
“According to the broadcast time, the production team putting this segment at the end is downright sinister!”
“It’s absolutely midnight food torture! Do they want to make all the viewers drool with hunger?”
“I don’t know if the viewers will be dying of envy, I only know… I’m about to be dying of envy right now!”
…
At this moment, all the Celebrity Observers were driven crazy by the Gold Medal Roast Suckling Pig Bai Baozhu made. Who remembered this wasn’t a food show but a dating reality show?
With great difficulty, after watching Xia Tiantian finish eating the Gold Medal Roast Suckling Pig, all the Celebrity Observers felt an emptiness in their hearts.
Even Xu Bingying, who always loved to pick on Bai Baozhu, forgot to find fault with her.
However, just as they had lost their energy over a plate of Gold Medal Roast Suckling Pig, who could have known that at the very end of the episode, during the heartline reveal segment for the dating guests, all the celebrity observers would be jolted awake once more by a punch from the instigator herself, Bai Baozhu.
“What?! Bai Baozhu sent her Love Text Message to Lin Dong?!”
