However, Derek did not feel any extra pressure just because his opponent was Finn.Instead, he was very calm."Finn, how about this, whoever finishes first will be the winner, okay?" Derek proposed.Finn nodded coldly.Then, he turned his head and looked at Wyneth's face as if he thought about something."Come and cheer for us if you have nothing else to do."After all, he only wanted to milk five more buckets for Wyneth.Wyneth was speechless.She wanted to turn him down, but Lauren had already grabbed her wrist and dragged her over."Finn, you can do this!"Lauren already wanted to cheer for Finn before he asked, but she was afraid that others would think that she was only doing that for attention. However, she ran over without hesitating now that she had gotten the opportunity."Thanks." Finn nodded and shifted his gaze to Wyneth. "What about you?"Obviously, he was asking Wyneth to cheer for him too.At that time, Derek spoke up, "Even though I have a very strong heart

Seeing Lauren's eager eyes, Wyneth felt like she was not holding just a jacket, but something very precious."Take it, take it." Wyneth gave it to her."Thank you!" Lauren took the jacket and tie thrillingly.That was probably her first time getting so close to her idol.She initially thought that it was already a great honor to be in the same variety show as Finn. She would never dare to dream of holding Finn's clothes in her arms.Lauren felt like after holding Finn's clothes, she would not need to shower that night. Also, she was going to keep the outfit she was wearing and frame it to cherish it forever.Wyneth had no idea what Lauren was thinking at all. Besides, she never knew what it felt like to be a fan of someone. However, after meeting Yoyo and now Lauren, she could understand them more.Finn was probably provoked by what Derek said earlier, so he adjusted himself and started taking the competition seriously.To him, it was fine to lose a competition or follow just a

On the other side, the trio team did not share the same good fortune. They had wrestled with their morning task till midday, with the lion's share of the work falling to Harry and Henry. Giada had barely lifted a finger. Harry, having borne the brunt of the work, was now exhausted to the bone, his clothes soaked through, looking as though he had been dredged from the depths of a lake. Seeing him in such a state, Giada could not help but recoil, her distaste for his bedraggled appearance plain on her face.Harry, already worn down to a nub, felt a simmering resentment at her reaction. "What are you flinching for? If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be in this state, would I?"Giada found herself speechless. She longed to retort, but considering she was still teamed up with him, and might need his help in the afternoon, she thought better of it. If she lashed out now, he might refuse to help her later. Biting her lip, she suppressed her temper and forced a chuckle. "I didn't mean anything

Seeing Giada, Lauren felt a surge of unease. With that smile plastered on her face, Giada reminded Lauren of an old adage—beware of Greeks bearing gifts. 'But who am I to spurn such an offer? After all, one shouldn't burn bridges, especially those that lead to more illustrious names,' Lauren thought. Thus, like a timid little lamb, she followed Giada outside.Everyone was taking their rest at this time, so the surroundings were quiet save for Giada and her manager Natalie. Upon seeing Lauren, Natalie quickly stepped forward, reaching out to clasp Lauren's wrist in a show of false intimacy. "Lauren, you've been working so hard today, haven't you?"Lauren said nothing.Natalie continued, "You were startled by Giada's outburst yesterday, right? She didn't mean to take it out on you. She just had a minor upset beforehand and lost control. I hope you aren't upset."'So that's why they called me out here?' Lauren realized. Giada was still hung up on Finn, but she did not see why they wou

A sense of tension hung in the air, reflected in the faces of the guests and crew members present. Aside from Harry's team and the photographers from the day before, everyone knew that Finn and Wyneth were acquainted. Finn's request for Wyneth's sunscreen seemed harmless enough. But Giada's motive was a tad too blatant.Finn looked at the sunscreen bottle, his eyes darkening. When Giada had greeted him yesterday, he considered her a junior. Without a change in expression, he reached past the spray-on sunscreen Giada offered and took the lotion from Wyneth's hand.Giada's smile froze on her lips. "F-Finn, don't you like using spray-on sunscreen?""Yes," Finn responded nonchalantly.Giada's hand hung in mid-air, awkwardly caught between withdrawal and staying put.Harry, with his straight-forward nature, hurried over, calling out, "Give me some, give me some. I got sunburnt yesterday."Though Giada did not fancy Harry, his boisterous intervention helped to diffuse the awkwardness.
