The travel group participating in the variety show consisted of eight people. When they met on set, Ye Chu looked at Michael, and Michael looked at Ye Chu. They were both surprised to see each other here, since the production team kept the participating members a secret.

The tour leader was a young woman named Jiang Qianqian. Ye Chu remembered that Jiang Qianqian had recently starred in a popular idol drama. So, upon meeting, she greeted her familiarly, mentioned the drama, and took the initiative to build rapport.

Ye Chu was the first member to arrive, followed by two familiar faces: Xie Wanyao and Michael.

"Xiao Chu is here too!" After greeting the team leader, Xie Wanyao excitedly reached out and hugged Ye Chu: "Long time no see!"

"Sister Wanyao, it's been a long time." Ye Chu replied, both amused and exasperated, as Wanyao hugged her. Michael, who knew the group leader, pulled her closer, saying, "Sister Chuchu, Sister Wanyao, and Qianqian are all here! That's wonderful!"

"Don't get too excited yet. I got the tour group's rules and regulations beforehand. Everyone will hear them once we're all here," Jiang Qianqian said, looking troubled. Clearly, these so-called tour group rules and regulations were no ordinary thing.

"I've heard about what happened last time. It seems like you have to earn the money yourself?" Xie Wanyao elegantly brushed her bangs aside: "This beauty would never sell her looks~" She then winked at the camera.

"Pfft." Ye Chu couldn't help but laugh, and Xie Wanyao immediately grabbed her and tickled her. Michael, seeing the fun, also wanted to join in. Jiang Qianqian was torn, not knowing which one to pull away.

"Why is it so lively inside?" a male voice rang out. The four people stopped what they were doing and looked towards the door. The camera also turned to them.

It's Qin Ke.

The neatly dressed boy was immediately welcomed by everyone. As everyone cheered and celebrated the arrival of the first laborer, two more figures appeared in succession: Xu Miaomiao, the nightingale of the music scene, and Song Nanran, the goddess of ancient costumes.

"Wow, they're all big shots." In front of the camera, Michael pulled Jiang Qianqian along, their eyes wide open, looking completely unaccustomed to the world.

"Haha, so cute." Xu Miaomiao was amused by her: "Michael, right? I've seen the TV series you've acted in."

"Wow! What an honor! Sister Miaomiao, may I call you that? Can I get your autograph?"

"Anything is fine, I don't mind what you call me." Xu Miaomiao nodded casually: "How about I sign it when we get back? You can't exactly carry it around with you the whole trip."

"I can be your talisman!" Michael exclaimed excitedly, rummaging in his pockets. "No paper or pen, I'm crying. Well, I'll wait until I get back." As he spoke, he strode closer to Xu Miaomiao.

Jiang Qianqian smiled and pulled her back, saying, "Sister Miaomiao, I'm so sorry, she must have scared you."

Xu Miaomiao glanced at Michael and nodded: "These days, it's rare to meet such a special fan."

Everyone burst into laughter, and Song Nanran chimed in, "Kids these days are so cute. But I remember you said eight people, right? There are seven here, where's the one who's missing?"

"Not here yet? Let me see who's late on the first day." Xie Wanyao clapped her hands, and a voice rang out anxiously, "Coming, coming, coming! Oh my god, I've come to the wrong place!"

The second member of the tour group to enter was comedian Zhou Tong.

"Tongzi!" Qin Ke walked over and hugged the person, introducing him to everyone: "I've known Tongzi for four or five years. His specialty is getting lost."

"So it seems we have to remove Brother Tong from the route-finding contestants?" Jiang Qianqian said, stepping forward to shake hands with the person.

Once all eight people had arrived, the program began with the tour leader reading out the tour group's rules and regulations.

First, you are not allowed to keep maps, guides, coins, bank cards, etc. All such items will be handed over to the agent to take back later.

Second, the tour leader has the obligation and responsibility to plan the tour group's travel route and arrange the tour group's accommodation, meals, entertainment, etc.

Third, the program team will provide a certain amount of funding, and the entire tour group can receive a certain amount of supplies by completing the task of taking group photos at each location. There will be two check-in tasks at each travel destination.

4. If a check-in task is failed and funds are insufficient, the production team will provide a loan service. On the day originally scheduled to go to the next travel destination, all members of the tour group must repay all loans in one lump sum (during which time they can use any legitimate means to earn money; note that when funds are insufficient, they are only allowed to borrow from the production team and are not allowed to use the money they have earned). If they cannot repay the debt, all members will be stranded until the debt is paid off before they can set off again.

V. The production team will supplement as needed.

After listening to Jiang Qianqian read out the rules and regulations, Ye Chu immediately asked, "Is there a trick in Article 5?"

“Ahem, Chu Chu, you don’t have to be so blunt.” Xie Wanyao coughed lightly. “This fifth point is clearly suspicious.”

Everyone: So your "don't be so direct" means cough and pause before speaking?

Qin Ke stepped forward: "Isn't the production team going to explain this?" His gaze swept over the group of people in front of him, and then he heard the director shout: "Literally, to prevent anyone from exploiting loopholes, leave a gap for future filling."

When the director announced this to prevent anyone from exploiting loopholes, everyone laughed in unison. After all, in the previous season, a "slippery character" had taken advantage of a loophole in the rules and extorted money from the production team.

“If that’s the case, then…” Song Nanran, the gentlest member of the team, cupped her hands expectantly and looked at Jiang Qianqian: “Shall we set off?”

Jiang Qianqian nodded and said to the camera, "Let's go! First stop, Japan!"

The camera followed the group, filming them submitting "prohibited" items and then getting into a car to go to the airport to board their plane.

On the plane, everyone's seats were naturally arranged together. Ye Chu's left was Xie Wanyao, and his right was Qin Ke.

"I didn't expect to see you here again." Qin Ke actually took the initiative to strike up a conversation with her, which surprised Ye Chu. She had thought that after that dinner party...

"Yeah, I didn't expect Brother Qin to be one of the other seven members." Ye Chu smiled, responding to the other party but not really wanting to talk more.

After replying, she lowered her head again, staring blankly at her palm, her thoughts drifting back to that dream. At that time, Gu Yu's hand was bleeding profusely, but he didn't shed a single tear, constantly comforting her as she sobbed.

I rubbed my thumb against my palm; it must have hurt a lot… Suddenly I started thinking about this person, wanting to grab his hand and ask him if it hurt.

"Chu Chu? I don't know if I can call you that?" Qin Ke suddenly asked. Startled by his interruption, Ye Chu quickly pulled herself together from her wandering thoughts, but for a moment she didn't know how to answer.

Ye Chu, without a doubt, is a name with the surname Ye and given name Chu. It's perfectly normal for girls to call each other Chu Chu; it sounds cute and intimate. But if a boy calls someone Chu Chu, it sounds like they have a very special relationship. That's why they use reduplication to call each other by name.

Such a form of address can easily be misunderstood by others.

Just as Ye Chu was caught in a dilemma, Xie Wanyao leaned forward and looked at Qin Ke: "Hey Qin, don't you know that boys can't just call girls by their names? Chu Chu is what we sisters call her, you should just call her... Little Ye, that'll do. It'll sound like you're the older brother."
