I said on a variety show that I had a crush on a man for eight years.

Then the program team asked me to call the man I had a crush on.

I fell into deep thought. I looked at his phone number, which had been saved in my phone for eight years. But I had never called him.

I made up my mind and called him.

When the ringing was about to end, he picked up the call. He said in a deep voice, "Tracy?"

I got nervous for a moment and hung up the phone quickly.

The audience went wild. The voice was very much like the voice of the Oscar Winner, Chris Stuart.

I clicked Twitter and soon was inundated with hashtags: "Tracy and Chris",

"Tracy had a crush on Chris for 8 years",

and "Tracy Mill".

All the netizens were discussing Chris and me.

Netizen 1: [Tracy, you should stay away from Chris!]

Netizen 2: [Tracy just wanted the popularity. She didn't have a crush on Chris at all.]

Netizen 3: [But I really think that voice is Chris. I have been a fan of Chris for five years. I can't be wrong!]

Netizen 4: [It really could be Chris. They were in the same high school. They were both the most good-looking people in the school. They were very famous in our school.]

Netizen 5: [What she said is true. I am their classmate. I have a class photo.]

Chris's and my positions were outlined in the photo.

As soon as the photo came out, it was flooded with comments.

Netizen 6: [Chris was so handsome when he was in high school!]

Netizen 7: [He's so cute. I love Chris so much!]

Netizen 8: [Tracy is so beautiful. They are a perfect match!]

Netizen 9: [No, they didn't match.]

Netizen 10: [Tracy is not worthy of Chris. Tell her to fuck off.]

"Can you tell me the truth? Is he Chris?" My agent, Amanda, asked me.

I stopped looking at the comments.

I said, "It's him. We were high school classmates."

"Why didn't you mention it before?"

"We haven't been in touch since we graduated from high school."

Chris and I never met again after high school. Even though we were both in the entertainment industry, I was just a nobody. But Chris was the Oscar Winner.

Amanda said, "You gained a lot of attention this time. I can get you more resources."

"Amanda, my contract is about to expire. I'm ready to leave the entertainment industry."

Amanda and I met when I graduated from my senior year. She thought I was beautiful. I entered the entertainment industry with my goals.

But I set a three-year goal for myself. If I couldn’t achieve it within three years, I would leave.

It had been almost three years.

"Tracy, you are so talented and suitable for acting. Do you really want to quit?"

"Yes. It's been three years."

"Okay. Then I won't persuade you anymore."

After Amanda left, I opened a drawer on the dressing table. I took out the photo that I had treasured for eight years.

This was the graduation photo. It was the only photo of Chris and I together.

In this photo, he was standing on the left. I was standing on the right. We were very far away from each other.

But I really wanted to be closer to him.

The next morning, I was woken up by Amanda's calls.

"Tracy, Get up. I've got a dating show for you. You need to rush to the production crew right now."

As soon as I answered the call, Amanda shouted.

I was startled. "Amanda, why are you just telling me this now?"

"Hurry up. It's too late!"

On the way there, Amanda told me that the actress in our company didn't have time for the show. Because of what happened yesterday, the director, Patrick Buck, let me participate in the show.

When I hurried to the scene, four guests had already arrived.

There were six guests in the show, three men and three women. They would become three couples and spend five days together in a villa.

"Tracy, you're here. Come and sit down."

The one who called me was the actress, Emma Nicholas. She was the only guest on the show I knew.

I have worked with her on a TV series before. She was the leading actress. I acted as her sister.

Emma introduced me to other guests. Another actress was Jayda Matthew, the rising star. There was a young idol, Eden Marcus the top singer, Tomas Whittier, was on the show too.

After greeting them, I began to observe the surrounding environment. There was a large screen in the center of the hall. It could play live images and real-time comments.

This dating variety show was broadcast live. Guests could interact with the audience. The audience could vote for their favorite couple. The couple with the most votes would receive a mysterious prize after the show ended.

Patrick said, "Did you notice that we still have another guest?"

"Yes, we still have a male guest." Jayda answered.

"Jayda is right. Now let's welcome our special guest!" Patrick smiled mysteriously, "Please guess who is behind the curtain. There will be rewards for those who guess correctly!"

I noticed that there was a large curtain in the corner of the hall. I could vaguely see the figure of the person behind it.

I wondered, "Is this Chris?

No, it's impossible. How could Chris come to such a show? I must be wrong."

"I think it's Franklin Cronin."

"No, I think it's more like Mario Dodd."

"It can't be Mario. He's still filming on the set."

Patrick suddenly said to me, "Tracy, what do you think?"

I replied, "I don't know. I'm not very familiar with him."

"Tracy, just take a guess. It doesn't matter if you are wrong."

Looking at Patrick’s expression, I knew he was implying something.

"Is that Chris?" I asked tentatively.

"Yes, you are right. Congratulations! Let's welcome Chris!"

At this time, the comments had begun to fill the entire screen.

Netizen 1: [Oh my god. It's Chris.]

Netizen 2: [How did Tracy recognize him? Did she really call Chris yesterday?]

Netizen 3: [I'm sure something is going on between them!]

Netizen 4: [Why didn't he tell us he was coming to the show?]

Jayda ran to Chris. She blinked at him.

Netizen 5: [How sweet! Chris must have kept it a surprise for Jayda.]

Netizen 6: [They are so lovely.]

Chris ignored Jayda. He walked straight to my right and sat down.

"Chris decided to come this morning. Jayda, please take a seat. Let me tell you the rules."

Patrick comforted Jayda.

Jayda smiled slightly. She seemed sad.

Her fans were so unhappy.

"You can choose their favorite guest to become a couple." Patrick said.

"Chris, can I join you?" Jayda walked to Chris's side.

Patrick said, "Tracy guessed right. So Tracy can choose first. Of course, the chosen person can refuse.

"Tracy, you can choose first."

After thinking for a moment, I decided to choose Chris, although netizens would scold me. Even if Chris and I were only a temporary couple, I would be happy.

"Chris, can I join you?"

I clenched my fists nervously. I dared not listen to Chris's answer. But I hoped he would say yes.

Jayda looked at Chris eagerly. She was waiting for his answer.

"Sure."

I felt relieved instantly when I heard Chris's words.

"Congratulations to Chris and Tracy for becoming a couple. The remaining people should start now."

The netizens in the live broadcast room were shocked.

Netizen 1: [Wow. Chris didn't choose Jayda.]

Netizen 2: [Jayda was about to cry. How could Chris abandon her?]

Netizen 3 : [Chris and Jayda were never been together. Chris was free to choose who he wanted.]

Netizen 4: [They looked so good together.]

Netizen 5: [I think Emma should be with Tomas. They are a good match.]

Jayda glared at me. She was so jealous of me.

I pretended not to see her. I immersed myself in joy. I didn't care about her attitude.

Finally, Emma and Tomas became a couple. Jayda and Eden formed a couple too.

It was already noon after the groups were divided. The program team only provided the ingredients. The guests had to prepare lunch by themselves.

"Who can cook? I really can't."

Emma was the first to say that she couldn’t cook. Emma could really make the kitchen explode when she cooked. I saw it when we were filming on the set.

"I will. I'll do it." I said.

I have lived alone for three years. I have had a few activities. But I still loved cooking in my spare time.

I even created an account to post some food videos. I became an amateur food blogger.

"Then let me help you. I know a little bit." Chris said.

Chris once acted as a chef in a movie. In order to play the role well, he went to the restaurant kitchen to study for some time.

"Do you have any dietary restrictions?"

I took out a pen and prepared to take notes.

"I don't eat chopped green onions, coriander, celery, minced garlic, eggs. I want to eat steak and pasta."

Jayda said a lot of things that she couldn't eat. I frowned slightly. Jayda said, "Tracy, am I asking for too much? But I always eat like this. Just forget it if you can't do."

I replied, "It's fine."

Others said they had no dietary restrictions.

"Emma and I will clean up the first floor."

Tomas also helped to clean the room.

So, Jayda and Eden were assigned the task of cleaning the second floor.

Jayda and Eden looked unhappy. They thought, "What the hell? Why do we have to clean? Is there no cleaning staff?"

It was the first time Chris and I were alone together. I was a little embarrassed. I didn't dare to look at him.

I took a deep breath. I looked up and met his gaze. His eyes were so deep that I couldn't help but be drawn in.

"Tracy, is there anything I can help you with?"

I looked at the ingredients prepared by the production team in the kitchen. I could make the steak that Jayda ordered. But I'm afraid I couldn't make the pasta. However, there were still a lot of ingredients. I could make some salad, roast chicken and fish soup.

"Chris, can you help me wash these vegetables?"

I put some of the vegetables into the box and gave it to Chris. I took the fish to the chopping board.

I quickly cleaned the fish.

Netizens were stunned.

Netizen 1: [Tracy can really cook. I thought she could only cook simple dishes.]

Netizen 2: [I am very good at cooking. I can tell you that Tracy is very skilled in handling the fish.]

Netizen 3: [[She is impressive. She must have cooked for so many years!]

Netizen 4: [Do you think Tracy's way of preparing fish is the same as that of the food blogger, Hungry Cat. Their habits are the same.]

Netizen 5: [Tracy must learn this from this blogger.]

"Do you cook often? You are really skilled at it."

Chris whispered beside my ears. He had a charming voice. He bent down slightly. His lips were only five centimeters away from my ear. I could feel his breath.

My face turned red. I stammered, "I live alone. Sometimes I would cook."

Chris chuckled.

I wondered, "Was Chris flirting with me? Am I thinking too much?"

"Chris, is there anything I can help you with?"

Jayda broke the loving atmosphere between us.

"No need, Jayda."

Chris stood up straight the moment Jayda walked in. His voice returned to the cold tone.

"Chris, don't be shy. We've known each other for so long."

Jayda winked at Chris and giggled.

"Ms. Matthew, can you help me take it out?"

I handed the freshly made steak to Jayda.

"Ms. Mill, you can just call me Jayda. I think you are older than me." Jayda said.

" Jayda, you are wrong. I remember Tracy is two years younger than you." Emma said.

Emma walked into the kitchen. She took the salad and pasta. "They smell so good. I want to eat now." Emma praised.

"Tracy is two years younger than me. She looks like..."

Jayda stopped talking halfway. Everyone knew what she meant.

She just wanted to say that I looked older than her.

"Ms. Matthew, you really look young. Please introduce me to your beauty doctor. I don't know much about this. I certainly don't look younger than you." I replied.

I thought, "I can also say some hypocritical words.

Everyone knew that Jayda had micro-plastic surgery once every two weeks.

She would spend 100,000 dollars a month on her face."

Jayda's facial expression changed instantly. Her image to the audience had always been that of a natural beauty.

Now she was being mocked by me. But she couldn't curse because it was a live broadcast. She suppressed her anger and said, "Tracy, you are joking. I didn't see any beauty doctors. I just did normal skin care."

I ignored her. I put the dishes on the table and invited everyone to eat.

When Jayda came out of the kitchen, we were already seated. She walked straight to Tomas. She said, "Mr. Whittier, can I change my seat with you?"

"No, leave me alone." Tomas refused without thinking.

Jayda's face turned pale. She was about to cry. In the end, she chose to sit in the only remaining seat.

Everyone knew that Tomas was the youngest child of the Whittier Family. Jayda didn't dare to offend him.

Jayda’s fans were furious.

Netizen 1: [Their attitude toward Jayda was so bad!]

Netizen 2: [Jayda is so kind.]

Netizen 3: [Jayda is about to cry. Chris, please speak up for Jayda!]

Netizen 4: [Jayda is so hypocritical.]

Netizen 5: [Maybe Jayda did have plastic surgery. I always thought her face was unnatural.]

Netizen 6: [Jayda has always looked like this. If you thought she did plastic surgery, show us the evidence!]

Jayda didn't dare to say anything. Everyone finished the meal in silence.

They all thought I cooked well. So I took the responsibility of cooking. Fortunately, except for Jayda, the other guests did not make any requests for food.

It was the first day of the shooting. The weather was hot. The production team did not make any arrangements for the afternoon. Guests could rest freely.

In the evening, the program team organized a night talk. We sat together and answered questions. The questions were randomly selected from the real-time comments.

Eden majored in broadcasting and hosting in the college. He was responsible for asking us questions.

"First question, why do you come to this dating show?"

"Because they paid me a lot." Emma answered honestly.

"Because I want to see someone I haven't seen for a long time."

Chris kept looking at me. I was so confused that I didn't dare to look at him.

"Because someone is here." Jayda smiled. She glanced at Chris.

Jayda hinted that the person Chris mentioned was her. Initially, Jayda wanted to flirt with Tomas. But now Chris was here. He was a better choice. So Jayda started to catch Chris's attention.

"Second question, what is Emma's ideal boyfriend?"

"I like neat boys who can sing and dance well."

I heard that Emma and Tomas were very intimate in private. I thought they joined this show for each other.

"Third question, Chris, I heard that you and Tracy were from the same school. Is Tracy the one you wanted to see?"

All the guests stared at Chris. Netizens and everyone in the set wanted to know the answer.
