While Su Ye was out delivering packages, Wang Zhengyu arrived at the villa where Reba was temporarily staying, ready to have a serious talk about what had happened the day before.
That guy with the supercar—what was his deal?
Could he really be Reba’s boyfriend, like the internet was speculating?
After yesterday’s livestream, the mysterious “celebrity boyfriend” incident exploded online. Everyone was trying to guess who this delivery guy really was.
Some said, “No way he’s just a delivery guy. Look at that face! He must be pretending to deliver packages just to secretly date Reba. They probably got caught by surprise when the show did a live check-in.”
Others claimed, “He really is a courier—I’ve seen him before. Hard to believe Reba would fall for a guy like that.”
And then there were those who said, “Maybe he’s just playing around, experiencing the life of a delivery guy. Anyone who drives a multi-million-dollar supercar must be insanely rich.”
…
The debate only made the show Yearning for Life and Reba’s popularity skyrocket.
Especially the show’s official Weibo account—it shot up from just over three million followers to more than ten million overnight!
Wang Zhengyu was totally overwhelmed by the numbers.
But in a way, it was great news. More attention meant better ratings—and more eager sponsors.
Still, yesterday’s events had happened too fast. Wang hadn’t had a chance to ask Reba about her private life.
Now that the incident had gone viral, things weren’t so simple anymore.
He had to figure out Reba’s actual relationship with that handsome, supercar-driving courier.
This wasn’t just about Reba’s personal image—it could affect the show’s public perception too.
Inside the villa, Reba had already been explaining the situation to her manager for a while.
She insisted repeatedly: she and the guy were not a couple.
But the manager kept picturing the livestream footage—both of them dripping wet, Reba in a bathrobe… There was no way this was just a coincidence, right?
When Wang Zhengyu arrived, they all sat down for a proper talk.
“Reba, everyone’s thrilled to have you on the show,” Wang began seriously. “But yesterday’s incident was so sudden, and now it’s blown up online. We need to get to the bottom of it.”
Wang was known for his serious demeanor on set, and his solemn face now said it all.
Seeing his expression, Reba sighed and decided to tell the whole story.
She explained everything: Su Ye came to deliver a package, the pipe burst, and he helped her shut off the water.
Of course, she conveniently left out the part where she was fangirling hard. That was private.
Once she finished, Wang and her manager finally understood.
“So... you two didn’t know each other before? He’s not your boyfriend?” Wang asked again for confirmation.
Reba nodded firmly. “Right. We just met yesterday. He was just delivering a package—and happened to help me out.”
Her manager thought for a moment and said, “I’ll contact PR to minimize any potential fallout from this.”
But Wang Zhengyu said thoughtfully, “Actually, this whole thing hasn’t hurt the show at all—on the contrary, it’s been amazing publicity. Our Weibo account broke ten million followers overnight.”
Reba, who hadn’t been paying attention to Weibo, was stunned.
Seriously?
The manager stayed silent for a moment—she’d been tracking the trend and knew things were indeed heating up.
After a pause, Wang continued, “Actually, I’ve got an idea. I want to invite that courier guy onto the show.”
“What?!”
Before the manager could respond, Reba shot up from her seat, her face full of disbelief.
And excitement.
Yes!
She’d get to see that dreamy guy again!
While others were worrying about the scandal and possible damage to her image, Reba couldn’t stop thinking about Su Ye’s insanely handsome face.
Especially when he was in that bathrobe, dripping wet, totally exuding raw masculinity…
It was intoxicating.
Sadly, her tight filming schedule meant she hadn’t had the chance to get to know him better.
But if Director Wang invited him to the show… that’d be perfect!
Wang Zhengyu blinked, surprised by her over-the-top reaction.
“Are you… against the idea?” he asked. “Worried it’ll damage your image?”
After all, the ‘boyfriend scandal’ was still trending. If the show really did bring Su Ye on now, it could cause some public backlash.
Reba quickly waved her hands. “No, no! That’s not what I meant. I just—do you need his phone number? Otherwise, how will you contact him?”
Wang and the manager exchanged a look.
They hadn’t expected her to be this eager.
The manager thought for a moment, then said calmly, “I’ll handle the PR. If having him on the show helps overall, we have no objections.”
Wang nodded. With Su Ye’s number in hand, he and his team immediately started trying to contact him.
…
But they couldn’t get through.
Because at that very moment, Su Ye was out delivering packages, making call after call.
“Miss, your delivery!” Su Ye said with a bright smile, handing over the package.
Just as he turned to leave, the woman called out, “Wait!”
She had long black hair, wore a tight black workout outfit that revealed her toned curves, and looked like the type men would normally give a second glance.
But Su Ye didn’t even blink.
The woman was slightly thrown off.
The more she looked at him, the more her heart pounded.
Why did this delivery guy get more handsome the longer she stared?
“Something wrong?” Su Ye asked, puzzled.
“Could you do me a quick favor?” she asked with a sweet, playful smile—though it carried a hint of mischief.
Su Ye’s heart sank.
Man… does being a courier now come with customer requests too?
He forced a smile. “Sure, as long as it’s not fixing your plumbing…”
“I, um… I ran out of water in my dispenser. Could you help me change the jug?”
She’d just made it up on the spot—any excuse to keep this hot guy around a bit longer.
Su Ye looked torn.
Bro, we’re just delivering packages—not running a full-service household help business…
Seeing his hesitation, the woman pouted, “Come on, handsome~ help me out?”
