Chapter 365: The male protagonist of this soul-swap story is quite rebellious.
Lin Xu spoke in a calm and serious tone, as if reporting on work: "President He and Miss Song are very affectionate, which is truly enviable."
He Chengyi: ...Suddenly I feel like I paid Lin Xu a bit too much.
They don't even know how to feel envy, jealousy, or hatred; their abilities are limited!
He picked up the plate of cucumbers from the coffee table, ate them as a snack, and then glanced at Lin Xu.
Lin Xu understood and said, "Ling Xiao, male, 22 years old, is currently an artist under Huan Yue Entertainment..."
After introducing Ling Xiao's basic information, Lin Xu paused for a moment and continued, "He likes relationships with older women, and all three of his girlfriends were beautiful older women. He also pursued Wen Yu, but was rejected by her."
"His purpose is still unclear. It could be to create a romantic pairing, to stand up for Wen Yu, or to really want to pursue Miss Song."
In the original storyline, Ling Xiao's role was to showcase Wen Yu's charm in this variety show.
Despite being rejected, the adorable puppy remains deeply devoted and unwavering, always protecting its older sister.
He Chengyi sneered, "Pretty older sister type? Does he think he's a gardener? He likes roses, so he just grows one pot, and when he's in the mood, he can fill the whole yard with them?"
"Give Huanyue a heads-up and ask them to manage their artists properly."
"Also, regarding my official announcement with Qingqing, have someone follow up on it and try to minimize the impact on her."

Ling Xiao was unaware that he had been targeted by a powerful figure.
When Yun Qing returned to the kitchen, Ling Xiao and Lin Xinrou had already discussed working together and had even included Yun Qing in their plans.
Yun Qing was a little confused when she heard the news. They were doing their own jobs just fine before, so why did they suddenly want to cooperate?
There are dedicated people in the kitchen preparing the ingredients; is there a need for them to cooperate?
She paused for a moment, then asked sincerely, "How do we cooperate? After the food is in the pot, each of us will take a turn flipping it with a spatula?"
Ling Xiao, who proposed the collaboration: ...
Lin Xinrou, who agreed to cooperate: ...
[Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter! What's wrong with Song Yunqing's thought process? Couldn't she just make a dish for each customer, choosing what she's best at?]
To be honest, there's really not much need for collaboration. The dishes ordered by customers should be prepared by the chefs who are best suited to cook them, right? What's the point of collaboration?
They're filming a TV show, not actually chefs. Collaboration is essential for more interaction!
[Hmm... So, when Ling Xiao made the suggestion, who did he want to interact with?]
[Is there even a question? It's Song Yunqing! Ling Xiao's scheming nature couldn't be more obvious.]
[Shut up, haters! My brother is adorable, cute, handsome, and has amazing charisma—he's not a green tea bitch at all!]
[Lin Xinrou always seemed reluctant to stand with Song Yunqing before, so why did she agree to cooperate so readily now?]
[She's just given up, hasn't she? Anyway, she's already trending for being ugly.]
[Enough with Song Yunqing's fans! Is this whole "outshining" thing even meaningful? Where is Xinrou ugly? Isn't it perfectly normal for her to look better without makeup than with it?]
[The most important thing for an actor is acting skills. Only pretty faces lack confidence and can only rely on their looks!]
[Does anyone know if Song Yunqing is really without makeup? She didn't remove her makeup during the live stream. Aren't there rumors that Song Yunqing is a wealthy heiress? Maybe she's wearing makeup but no one dares to call her out on it?]
[Lin Xinrou's fans are the ones who are sick! What did my Song Jie do to deserve this? They blame their own looks on my Song Jie being too beautiful, right?]
The pink and black people were arguing fiercely, while in the kitchen, Ling Xiao said, "Okay... I'll be in charge of the Western food, Xinrou will be in charge of the stir-fries, and you can take care of the simpler dishes, just choose what you can do."
Yun Qing: ? ? ?
So what's the difference from before?
Since there was no difference, Yun Qing agreed without caring.
The main reason was that she was about to officially announce her relationship with He Chengyi, and He Chengyi would be associated with her from then on. She should try to act more sociable and improve her public image, so as not to cause He Chengyi to be disliked by the public.
Therefore, she never wanted to reveal her identity because she didn't want her family to be watched and criticized.
But He Chengyi is different.
Her parents and sister wouldn't worry about her hiding her identity, but He Chengyi, who lacked love since childhood, needed more security.
Hiding him away to protect him will only make him overthink and become even more unhappy.
Of the three guests in their group, Lin Xinrou was the most popular, and thus the busiest one. She cooked with great enthusiasm, and although she occasionally made mistakes, they were not exactly culinary disasters.
During her free time, Yun Qing quickly grabbed her phone and watched cooking videos. After watching the videos, she wanted to try cooking herself.
She's planning to try stir-fried eggplant with green peppers; the video looks pretty simple, so she should be fine.
She was still very afraid of cutting her hand while chopping vegetables, especially without He Chengyi's guidance, which greatly diminished her confidence.
Fortunately, there were people who prepared the food.
But she got stuck on the first step. How hot does the oil need to be to sauté the scallions and garlic?
Just as Yun Qing was hesitantly about to pour in the scallions and garlic, Ling Xiao, having finished making the steak, took the opportunity to come over and said, "Sister, let me teach you! Turn the heat up a bit, and if you haven't put in enough oil, add some more."
Yun Qing was already undecided, and when she heard him say that, she turned the fire up even higher.
Then, with a "whoosh," flames shot up high in the pot, startling Yun Qing so much that she covered her head and retreated while howling.
Ling Xiao reached out to grab her, but she almost hit him in the face with a spatula.
Lin Xinrou rushed over, turned off the fire, put the lid on the pot, and calmly turned the tide.
Then she looked at Yun Qing and Ling Xiao, adopting the demeanor of a gentle older sister, even her scolding was gentle and soft, "Why are you two being so reckless? What if something happens?"
"Yunqing, cooking skills require practice and cannot be rushed. It is dangerous for you to cram at the last minute like this."
After this series of actions, Lin Xinrou's fans were overjoyed and almost praised her to the skies. At this moment, she was simply radiant.
Lin Xinrou breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Wen Yu was right. She shouldn't be afraid to compare herself with Song Yunqing, because Song Yunqing had nothing to offer except for her face.
Wen Yu is currently waiting for her face to recover. Apart from learning about He Chengyi's preferences from the system and formulating a strategy, she has nothing else to do.
She would naturally pay attention to Yun Qing, her rival, participating in a variety show.
She already disliked Yun Qing.
She didn't feel guilty about taking Yun Qing's role back then. Winning a role is all about ability, and she didn't use any dirty tricks or bully anyone.
Yun Qing lost her role but didn't look for the reasons within herself, instead blaming her. Don't you find that ridiculous?
They continued to target her afterwards, which is simply unreasonable!
Now, she needs to win over He Chengyi, but Yun Qing has a close relationship with He Chengyi. He Chengyi is even suspected of following Yun Qing to the hotel where she was filming.
Wen Yu couldn't help but feel wary, thinking that Yun Qing would ruin her plans, and she felt even more disgusted with her.
She even asked the system if it could make Yun Qing disappear completely, which scared the system into shaking its head frantically.
The Matchmaker System is just a system responsible for sweet romances; it's relatively gentle and won't kill anyone easily.
And kill Song Yunqing?
Ha... You've never seen He Chengyi go crazy! And you've forgotten how your face was ruined, haven't you?
However, Wen Yu's idea of making people disappear at the drop of a hat is quite crazy.
For a moment, the system couldn't help but feel sad, wondering if it might have a constitution that attracts madmen.
Since Song Yunqing couldn't just disappear, and Wen Yu was unwilling to see her public image improve, she kindly gave Lin Xinrou some advice.
As her long-time rival, she knows Song Yunqing's personality all too well and knows how to make the audience dislike Song Yunqing through comparison.
See, this clearly shows the audience just how stupid Song Yunqing is.
In the hotel kitchen, Ling Xiao asked with a worried expression, "Sister, are you alright? Were you frightened?"
Yun Qing looked at him with a complicated expression. "You might as well not have taught me at all! I never believed your nonsense!"
It's definitely more reliable to do your own thing.
Ling Xiao wanted to say that he had only asked her to turn the fire up a little, not to turn it all the way up.
But after hesitating for a moment, he grabbed his ears with both hands, hanging his head dejectedly, and said, "Sister, I was wrong, scold me..."
Yun Qing silently moved away from him, her face clearly saying "Don't come near me," and frowned, saying, "Don't be so flashy! What if the production team adds some ambiguous pink bubbles in post-production? I'll be in deep trouble no matter what."
"I have a boyfriend!"
Lin Xu was hurrying after President He, who was about to go to the kitchen to rage, while also watching the live stream. Upon hearing this, he quickly said, "President He, did you hear that? Miss Song said she has a boyfriend!"
President He finally stopped his agitated pace, his whole demeanor instantly calming down. He smiled helplessly, "Sigh... I told her to take her time, but she's still so impatient. There's just no way to deal with her."
Lin Xu: ...What are you pretending for! Your face is practically splitting open with a grin!
