As previously stated by staff, the guest stars and regular cast members for this episode have basically all arrived.

This resort hotel offers two types of rooms: one is more like a small villa, and the other is the type where you can get up close and personal with small animals.

The other option is a regular hotel suite; if you want to see the animals, you have to buy a separate ticket to enter a specific area.

The villas can accommodate at least two people, but considering that the celebrities were meeting for the first time and were not familiar with each other, the production team arranged for each person to have their own room.

Cen Yu looked at the room key that the production crew had handed her in the car, then turned to Mu Fengyin, who was walking behind her, and asked, "Where is Teacher Mu staying?"

Mu Fengyin and his assistant stood behind Cen Yu, the vehicle responsible for picking up and dropping off passengers was about to arrive... Mu Fengyin glanced at his room key, "Giraffe Room".

This is also a unique feature of the hotel; these villas are all named after animals.

“I am a red panda,” Cen Yu said, as the hotel shuttle vehicle arrived.

The vehicle could seat at least eight people. As soon as the car stopped, hotel staff came up to help them with their luggage... After Cen Yu got in the car, Xie Jinshen naturally sat down next to him.

Then there was Mu Fengyin and his assistant.

"Will recording start today?" Cen Yu turned to look at Mu Fengyin.

Mu Fengyin draped his clothes over his knees. He looked at Cen Yu, who was looking back at him, and Xie Jinshen, who seemed gentle but whose eyes were full of impatience, and suddenly smiled.

He leaned forward slightly, staring at Cen Yu's face, and teased, "So eager?"

Cen Yu seemed surprised that Mu Fengyin would suddenly approach. He subconsciously took a step back, as if he was startled.

Mu Fengyin immediately raised his hand to apologize, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."

“Teacher Mu.” Cen Yu looked at Mu Fengyin with a serious expression.

"Hmm?" Mu Fengyin thought Cen Yu was angry and was thinking of what to say to appease her when he heard Cen Yu say earnestly—

"Wheat bran should also be sold to suppliers of comparable strength."

"Otherwise, they'll just be freeloading on the hype."

Mu Fengyin paused for a second upon hearing this, then couldn't help but laugh out loud. "What is this?"

"Your sales statement?"

Cen Yu shook his finger. "That's not right."

These are my heartfelt words.

As the two were talking, the hotel shuttle bus slowly drove towards the villa... Mu Fengyin thought for a moment and said to Cen Yu, "Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any filming tasks today."

Because everyone arrives at the hotel at different times, and considering that Mu Fengyin was originally scheduled to arrive tonight, the director did not schedule filming for tonight.

"But there will be a task for you early this morning."

"Hmm?" Cen Yu immediately became interested.

"As a new member, I was responsible for waking up all the regular guests at 4 a.m.

"The director will probably let you know tonight."

Cen Yu immediately understood Mu Fengyin's meaning. The director probably felt that directly introducing new guests was a bit too abrupt. In addition, Mu Fengyin was originally scheduled to arrive in the early morning. In order to ensure that everyone could appear on screen, the director decided that the first shot of these guest stars would be calling the regular guests in the early morning.

"Do the regular guests know?" Cen Yu asked immediately.

"I know," Mu Fengyin said. Otherwise, what if he really lost his temper during filming because of his morning grumpiness?

Although it's possible to reshoot later, this show doesn't follow the drama route, so it's going to be as slow-paced as possible.

As they were talking, the shuttle bus had already stopped near a small villa—

"Mr. Cen, we've arrived at your room," a hotel staff member said, turning around before getting out of the car to help him with his luggage.

Xie Jinshen got out of the car first and helped the hotel staff with their luggage.

Mu Fengyin looked at Cen Yu, who was standing beside the car after getting out, and reminded him as if he had thought of something, "When you open the door, you must first confirm that it is a member of the production crew."

Cen Yu looked up at Mu Fengyin, "You mean?"

Mu Fengyin nodded. "Be careful of illegitimate children."

...

Upon arriving at the wooden villa, Cen Yu looked at Xie Jinshen, who had followed her, and asked, "Where do you live?"

He recalled that, according to the production team's arrangements, apart from the artists who lived alone in these small villas, the rest of the staff lived in the hotel building behind.

"It's not far from you," Xie Jinshen said, putting down his luggage.

"I upgraded to a higher room type."

Before Cen Yu could even tease the other party about no longer hiding his wealth, he saw Xie Jinshen find slippers, squat down in front of him, and grab his ankle with one hand.

"?!" Cen Yu was so startled he almost jumped up.

What are you doing?

Xie Jinshen looked at him, puzzled. "Let me help you change your shoes."

He gripped Cen Yu's ankle tightly, seemingly not wanting him to break free.

"..." Cen Yu carefully recalled the plot and found that before the talent show, Cen Yu often had Xie Jinshen serve him in order to show that he was the "head of the family".

This includes, but is not limited to, changing his shoes, helping him with chores, and so on.

However, since they debuted through the talent show, the two have hardly had any time to spend alone together, which is why Xie Jinshen has not made any moves.

Looking down at Xie Jinshen, who was half-squatting in front of him, Cen Yu was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig his toes into the ground.

He braced himself against the wall with one hand, preparing to pull Xie Jinshen up with the other. "No need." This is too embarrassing!

“Xiao Yu.” Xie Jinshen suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with unreadable emotions as he looked at Cen Yu. “…Don’t refuse me even for something this small…”

Cen Yu leaned against the wall, looked at Xie Jinshen for a moment, and then suddenly squatted down to meet Xie Jinshen's gaze.

I said no.

Cen Yu looked at Xie Jinshen, and just like that time backstage at the talent show, he casually reached out and pinched Xie Jinshen's face, "Aren't you going to listen to me anymore?"

Xie Jinshen looked down at Cen Yu's hand that was pinching his face.

Cen Yu's skin was pale and cold, and his fingers were long and strong... Perhaps because he was impatient, his expression was colder than usual, which was why Xie Jinshen was so infatuated with Cen Yu.

He moved closer, seemingly wanting to smell Cen Yu's perfume.

“Of course I’ll listen.” Xie Jinshen squatted down and looked at Cen Yu. “You know I’m the most obedient.”

He looked at the beauty mark under Cen Yu's eye, and the tongue piercing that appeared between the other's lips and teeth as the other spoke... and finally said to Cen Yu—

"Shouldn't I get some reward for being so obedient?"

Looking at Xie Jinshen's expression, Cen Yu changed the position of the hand that was pinching the other's face. He stroked Xie Jinshen's earlobe along his cheek and said after getting close, "Good boy, good boy."

He stroked Xie Jinshen's head as if he were petting a big dog.

Xie Jinshen changed his posture slightly, as if he was tired of squatting.
