The nine of them got up early to welcome the newcomer after receiving notification from the program team.
Around nine in the morning, a helicopter descended from the sky.
Following that, a young man, who looked like he walked out of a comic, slowly entered everyone's sight in slow motion.
The handsome young man was wearing a white shirt and black suit pants, with an estimated height of 1.85 meters.
Up close, he was even more stunning. He had refreshing short brown hair, clean and fair skin, perfectly drawn sword-like eyebrows, and a pair of peach blossom eyes that sparkled with moisture and stars. The corners of his mouth were slightly curved, exuding youthful energy while maintaining the charm of an adult man. He was like a little sun, making people want to get closer and closer.
"Hello everyone, my name is Bai Xingyan. I'm the surprise guest this season. I hope for your guidance," Bai Xingyan said, his lips rosy and teeth white, his smile pure, instantly capturing the hearts of many women.
[OMG, what is this heavenly beauty? Girls, I'll admire him first!]
[I haven't seen this person in the entertainment industry before. Is Star Sea Entertainment promoting a new talent?]
[Ahhhhh, I'm bleeding from the nose, someone save me.]
[In five minutes, I want all the information on this man.]
As soon as he appeared, the Movie Queen System became agitated. This was an absolutely high-quality man, and conquering him was equivalent to conquering five ordinary high-quality men.
Without the system needing to say anything, Lin Yinyin's heart had already flown to this young man. As someone experienced in social circles, Lin Yinyin knew at a glance that he was extraordinarily talented.
With the system's confirmation, her judgment became even more certain, as the high-quality men chosen by the system were all top-notch in both appearance and physique.
Lin Yinyin stepped forward, extended her hand, and introduced herself enthusiastically, "Hello, Xingyan. I'm Lin Yinyin. Welcome to the Island Survival family. Feel free to ask me anything you need."
"Thank you," Bai Xingyan nodded politely, retracting his hand before it even touched hers.
Then, everyone else introduced themselves.
When it was Qiao Ci's turn, there was no reaction. Everyone looked at her, seemingly accusing her of not being enthusiastic about the handsome young man.
Xiao Shaozi also joined in the fun: "Host, this is the cute puppy you like, why aren't you enthusiastic? This is unscientific~"
Qiao Ci's voice was flat: "You understand it all?"
She perfunctorily extended her hand and said carelessly, "Hello, I'm Qiao Ci."
"Hello, I'm Bai Xingyan. Please guide me," Bai Xingyan said, his eyes curved, looking soft and cute.
Qiao Ci was momentarily stunned by his expression.
Next was the team selection. To accommodate the newcomer, the program team asked the groups willing to accept new members to send representatives to state their team's advantages. Bai Xingyan would then decide which team to join.
Ignoring Gong Han's displeasure, Lin Yinyin enthusiastically introduced her team: "There are two people in our group. Gong Han is responsible for finding resources, and I'm responsible for organizing household affairs. We basically know where it's safe, where it's dangerous, and where resources are on the mountain. If you join our group, you'll have a very easy time, and I'll personally help you adapt here quickly."
Then Qi Sixian stepped forward, as if they were old acquaintances: "I didn't expect you to come too, kid. Haha, my team always welcomes you."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions varied. Qi Sixian's family background was very mysterious. It was rumored that his family had deep political connections, indicating that anyone he treated warmly must have an extraordinary identity.
Then, Cui Qing and Wang Keke also introduced themselves.
Qiao Ci stood still like a bystander. Everyone knew she had been very capable lately and had significant advantages. They were all relieved that she wasn't interested in the handsome young man.
When it was Bai Xingyan's turn to choose, he walked directly to Qiao Ci, scratched his head, and asked with a slightly nervous expression, "Hello, you're Qiao Ci, right? Can I call you A'Ci?"
"You're the only one in a team of one here. Do you need a teammate?"
Can I call you A'Ci...
Can I call you... A'Ci...
Qiao Ci's brown pupils contracted slightly. Only then did she begin to look at the handsome young man in front of her. The soft sunlight illuminated his ears, making them appear slightly transparent, like a pure angel.
Her small face tensed a bit: "Can you cook?"
Bai Xingyan replied obediently, "Yes, I've always loved to study cooking and know a little bit about all kinds of cuisines."
Qiao Ci looked at the boy who seemed too ethereal to be touched by worldly matters with some surprise. After a moment, she said, "My team is lacking a mascot who can cook. Are you willing to join?"
Upon hearing this, the handsome young man nodded repeatedly and extended his hand of friendship, "Yes! We are teammates from now on. Please guide me, A'Ci."
"Welcome to the team." Qiao Ci extended her hand, which was lightly held by the handsome young man for a moment before being released.
[What incredible luck did Qiao Ci have to be chosen by the handsome young man!]
[Maybe he saw she was alone and felt sorry for her.]
[What luck? Qiao Ci has both looks and strength. At least following her means you won't go hungry.]
[Ahhh, I'm cheering for Yinyin. Let's see who dares to oppose her!]
[Floor above, stop being a bot and bothering other people's livestreams. Yinyin's fans are looking for attention elsewhere.]
[Floor above, who are you a fan of?]
[Of course, I'm a fan of the male god Gong Han!]
[What are you doing in Qiao Ci's livestream?]
[...Hmph, of course, I'm here to see if this woman is qualified to pursue our male god!]
With the help of the staff, Bai Xingyan moved his daily necessities and set up another tent next to Qiao Ci's, placing the two tents together like little pigtails tied on a child's head, cute and warm.
"Host, just admit it. You can't resist this kind of soft, cute puppy. You were indifferent before, but now that he's made a move, you've readily accepted him."
Xiao Shaozi said with a tone of "I knew it." Fearing that Qiao Ci would get angry, it quickly added, "The host who says one thing and means another is also great~ Xiao Shaozi approves of this match. Host, go for it, olyge!"
Qiao Ci ignored it, watching Bai Xingyan busy packing his things. Her eyes were shallow, lost in thought.
Seeing that Qiao Ci didn't object, Bai Xingyan, as if getting addicted, called out "A'Ci" whenever he had nothing else to do. After calling her name, he would smile at Qiao Ci with his eyes curved, causing Qiao Ci's forehead to develop dark lines: "Mascot, if you have something to say, don't hold back, just say it."
"It's nothing. I don't know why, but I really like calling your name. It feels like I can never say it enough." The handsome young man looked confused. A diamond stud on his left earlobe shone with colorful light, making the boy's clean profile appear even more innocent.
Perhaps sensing that calling a girl like this was too informal, Bai Xingyan fiddled with the corner of his clothes with his right hand and asked nervously, "If you don't like me calling you A'Ci, then from now on..."
"No," Qiao Ci rubbed her temples with her finger.
"Okay, A'Ci." Bai Xingyan's eyes brightened, and he looked in a good mood. He lowered his head and continued to sort his luggage.
