Chapter 2

Zhou Jingyu's words once again saved Jiang Nanyu from trouble. Jiang Nanyu looked at her with eyes shining, as if he wanted to confess his love to her right then and there.

【Oh my god, my sister is so gentle, I love her so much. 】

【Hahahaha, Jiangnanyu is in love. 】

Zheng Wei speaks so quickly, it's hard not to suspect she's deliberately poking fun at people...

[I quickly checked. In the second season, Su Mu ranked first, and Jiang Nan Yu ranked twelfth.]

[How can there be such a huge gap in development between people who came from the same show?]

…

Jiang Nanyu's expression was too blunt, and Zhang Yang, perhaps unable to bear it any longer, said, "You two can discuss this kind of artistic question later. There are still people who haven't been introduced yet."

For a moment, several pairs of eyes looked at the last male guest. He had fluffy curly hair and slightly long bangs that slightly covered his eyes. He sat very casually, and his whole body exuded a subtle sense of laziness and decadence.

Hearing Zhang Yang's words, he raised his eyelids and said slowly: "Chen Qinglin, 25 years old, actor, nice to meet you all."

He said he was happy, but there was not a trace of joy in his tone. Even if it was just a polite remark, it was too formal.

Yin Mu found it inexplicably funny and looked at him a few more times with interest.

Zheng Wei, who was not sure what she was thinking, asked again, "Are you an actor too? What roles have you played?"

Chen Qinglin's reaction was very flat. He didn't mention the roles he had played. He only said, "If you look carefully in those online movies that are classified as bad movies, you can usually see me as the protagonist's henchman or the villain's henchman."

Perhaps because they were both actors, Zhou Jingyu was very interested in him and asked, "Have you signed with a company?"

Chen Qinglin answered every question: "Yes, I signed with Xingchen Entertainment."

Zhou Jingyu's eyes widened in shock. "The resources shouldn't be so harsh. How long have you been signed?"

Chen Qinglin curled his lips and said, "I signed it when I graduated from university."

Zhou Jingyu was getting increasingly confused and was about to continue asking questions when Chen Qinglin ended the topic: "This matter is very complicated and cannot be explained in a few words. Let's not talk about it anymore."

[Those who can sign Xingchen must be very powerful, how could this happen?]

[This is normal, right? Xingchen has so many signed artists, and not all of them can become famous.]

[Chen Qinglin, what an unfamiliar name, does anyone know? ]

[This person's temperament is so unique, isn't it sad? ]

[Can you pull your hair up so I can see your face clearly?]

…

Chen Qinglin's words were obviously perfunctory and did not satisfy Zhou Jingyu. However, Jiang Nanyu, perhaps displeased to see the goddess paying too much attention to others, interrupted and said, "That's right, everyone has secrets. Let's protect Chen Qinglin's privacy."

"Well, I was too abrupt." Zhou Jingyu readily accepted the advice and smiled sweetly, "I'm sorry, Qinglin, please don't mind."

"It doesn't matter."

Zhou Jingyu added: "We are all actors, so we can communicate more about performances in the future."

The corners of Chen Qinglin's mouth almost drooped, and he reluctantly nodded: "Yeah."

Jiang Nanyu finally couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted their one-on-one conversation, saying, "Let's discuss the room allocation issue first. Didn't the production team leave us any information?"

After he reminded her, Zheng Wei, who was talking to Zhang Yang, suddenly realized: "Oh, right, when I walked in, I saw an envelope by the entrance. Could it be something the production team left for us?"

Zhang Yang immediately stood up: "I'll get it."

He took the envelope back, held it up and shook it: "I opened it."

There was only a task card in the envelope. Zhang Yang glanced at it and handed it to Jiang Nanyu, who was closest to him: "Let the singer with the best voice read it."

Jiang Nanyu didn't hesitate to accept the task card. "Welcome everyone to our Heart-Stirring House. We have three tasks for you today: 1. Get to know each other; 2. Check in. Men, please choose any room on the second floor, and women, please choose any room on the third floor; 3. Please divide the work and work together to prepare dinner." He read the task card, paused for a few seconds, and then continued, "We have completed the first task. Now, please choose your own room and check in."

Zhang Yang said nonchalantly, "I guess the rooms are all similar. There's not much to choose from."

Zheng Wei continued, "I think the layout might be slightly different. Anyway, let's go up and take a look first." She looked at Zhang Yang, blinked, and said, "Zhang Yang, could you please help me move my suitcase?"

Zhang Yang readily agreed, "Of course, no problem. —Jingyu, Yin Mu, your big boxes are also here, I can just help you move them to the third floor."

Zhou Jingyu smiled and said softly, "That's great. Thank you."

Jiang Nanyu didn't want to be left behind, so he quickly said, "I can help too. Although I'm not as experienced as Zhang Yang, moving a few pieces of luggage shouldn't be a problem."

Yin Mu didn't want to owe anyone a favor from the beginning. Besides, her two suitcases were not very heavy, so there was no need to wait in the living room for others to help. She politely declined: "Don't bother, my suitcases are not heavy, I can do it myself."

"It's no big deal, why are you being so polite?" Zhang Yang said, "You girls don't have much strength, don't tire yourself out."

Yin Mu didn't argue with him any further. He picked up his suitcase and followed them upstairs.

The living room was temporarily empty, but the barrage in the live broadcast room was still scrolling.

[The impression is okay at the moment. I feel like Zhang Yang and Zheng Wei are somewhat interested in each other.]

[Jiang Nanyu's intentions towards Zhou Jingyu are also very obvious! ]

[Jiangnan Rain - Zhou Jingyu - Chen Qinglin, this is more complete. ]

[Huh? Doesn't that mean Yin Mu is the only one without a love connection?]

[But I think Yin Mu looks the best. He's a completely different person than he was during the live broadcast.]

[No, didn't you guys notice that Yin Mu was looking at Chen Qinglin just now? ]

…

There are five livable rooms on the second and third floors respectively. Yin Mu, Zheng Wei and Zhou Jingyu looked at the rooms one by one and confirmed that apart from the different colors, everything else was similar. There was really nothing to be picky about.

They didn't hesitate too much and quickly decided on the rooms they wanted to stay in. Zheng Wei and Zhou Jingyu stayed in adjacent rooms 1 and 2 respectively, while Yin Mu chose room 3 on the other side, across the hall from them. From the window, he could see the garden and swimming pool behind.

Yin Mu packed his luggage, washed his face, and lingered for a while before reluctantly leaving the room. Zhou Jingyu happened to open the door and came out. The two smiled at each other, and Yin Mu asked, "Is Zheng Wei still in the room?"

Zhou Jingyu shook her head and walked directly to the door of Zheng Wei's room and knocked: "Zheng Wei, are you there?"

No one answered.

"They should be going downstairs now. I didn't notice the sound of the door opening." Zhou Jingyu said, "Let's go down too."

"good."

The two of them went downstairs together. Just as they reached the living room, they heard laughter coming from the kitchen. Following the sound, they saw Zheng Wei, Zhang Yang, and Jiang Nanyu. They were gathered around the refrigerator, probably discussing what to make for dinner.

Zhou Jingyu naturally joined the conversation: "Do you have any ideas about the dinner menu?"

Jiang Nanyu's eyes lit up when he saw Zhou Jingyu, and he answered attentively, "Not yet, but I see the ingredients in the refrigerator are quite complete. Do you have any favorite dishes? I can cook them for you."

"I can do it all, but you can actually cook? That's amazing."

"Hahaha, it's not that great. Home-cooked food is fine."

"That's enough." Zhou Jingyu smiled and said, "I just don't have a natural talent for cooking. I've tried many times, but the dishes I made were totally inedible. My friends all despised them."

Jiang Nanyu joked: "If you cook it for me, I will eat it no matter how bad it tastes."

Zhou Jingyu smiled but didn't answer. She asked, "Besides Nan Yu, do we have anyone else who can cook?"

Zhang Yang raised his hand. "I can do that too, but I usually eat a lot of fitness meals, so when I cook, I tend to keep the flavors a bit lighter. I hope you don't mind."

Zheng Wei pouted: "That's why I told you to just add a little more seasoning, it's very simple."

Zhou Jingyu, however, didn't care: "It's okay. You guys worked hard to cook. Who are we who are waiting to eat to be picky? - As compensation, I'll be responsible for washing the dishes after dinner."

Yin Mu said hurriedly, "I can't cook either, so I'll take care of the aftermath with Jingyu."

"Hmm..." Zheng Wei tilted her head. "Then I'll help prepare the food and lend a hand?"

After several people divided up their tasks, Chen Qinglin finally arrived. Zhou Jingyu turned around and saw him first, so she asked, "Qinglin, can you cook?"

Chen Qinglin said: "Yes, but not much."

Zhang Yang clapped his hands and said, "That's perfect. Can you help me too?"

Chen Qinglin didn't even ask about other people's work assignments, and nodded in agreement: "Okay."

Zhang Yang was probably used to guiding students, so he spoke to them in a commanding tone: "Then let's get moving. Eat dinner early. Eating too late is bad for the digestive system."

Yin Mu and Zhou Jingyu didn't have to cook, and she wanted to go upstairs to her room to get some peace and quiet, but Zhou Jingyu pulled her aside to chat, and she couldn't leave, so she could only cheer herself up and sit in the living room with Zhou Jingyu.

While the two were talking, Zheng Wei's laughter came from the kitchen. It seemed that she was extremely amused by something. Zhou Jingyu suddenly stopped talking in the middle of her words, and a moment of loss appeared on her face.

Yin Mu keenly caught her mood change, smiled, and pretended to be nonchalant: "The atmosphere in the kitchen is not bad."

Zhou Jingyu quickly adjusted her mood, smiled and responded, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Yin Mu, among the three boys, who do you like more?"

"Me?" Yin Mu thought about the three male guests and shook his head honestly, "I don't have any feelings yet. They are all very nice people. Maybe I need to spend more time with them."

Zhou Jingyu sighed softly: "That's true, but I really believe in first impressions."

To show that he was not just being perfunctory, Yin Mu asked her, "So you already have someone you like?" She vaguely felt that Zhou Jingyu was interested in Chen Qinglin, but it was not easy to jump to conclusions.

"I wouldn't say I like you, I just have a good impression of you." Zhou Jingyu hesitated. "I'm telling you it's okay, but don't tell anyone else."

Yin Mu immediately promised: "I will definitely keep it a secret for you, I swear."
