Chapter 58

You can then receive a prize of 100,000 yuan.

"Understood, thank you for your help, Assistant Director." A bright female voice came from the other end of the phone.

After hanging up the phone, the assistant director couldn't help but wonder where the director had found such an amateur.

I met her once when we signed the contract last time. With her looks, she could definitely make it in the entertainment industry.

She was truly the most suitable person to play the role of a werewolf.

evening.

The cottage in "The Mystery of Love" is located in the suburbs of City A. It is a well-maintained garden villa with a pastoral style wooden building and several open-air balconies.

To the southeast is a large glass room, which contains a tea room and an indoor garden.

The photographer was already in position and had begun shooting from the road near the cabin.

Photographer Xiao Li watched from afar as a woman in a light, fitted dress walked over, her long, black hair further accentuating her fair and radiant skin.

He immediately picked up the camera and carefully captured a beautiful moment.

The woman in the video had a cool, aloof air about her, with eyebrows like ink paintings, but a small mole at the corner of her eye added a touch of allure. She smiled and greeted Xiao Li, "Hello."

She nodded but did not bend over; her back was as straight as a pine tree.

A radiant glow shines from her every glance.

Xiao Li initially thought it was a celebrity, and his mind went blank for a moment. He almost responded to her, but his years of professional ethics made him realize that Ying Ning was greeting the camera, so he calmed down and followed her.

Yingning pushed her suitcase through the gate. As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, she saw a tall, handsome young man with slightly upturned peach blossom eyes and an air of unrestrained freedom.

It is Shen Yan.

From head to toe, he was dressed entirely in luxury brands: a B brand vest, an L brand baseball cap, M brand sneakers, and a Jaeger-LeCoultre men's watch on his wrist.

Although the production team lent Ying Ning some luxury clothes, standing next to Shen Yan, she felt that her attention would be completely drawn to his luxurious aura.

Shen Yan had only come out for some fresh air when he heard a noise coming from the doorway.

Turning my head, I saw a beautiful woman with a suitcase at the doorway.

"Let me help you." Shen Yan saw the photographer behind them and immediately realized that Ying Ning was also one of the guests. He quickly adjusted his expression and ran over.

"Thank you," she said softly.

Shen Yan had assumed she had a beautiful face, but when he stood in front of her, he noticed that her arched eyebrows were slightly raised, instantly revealing a cold and aloof demeanor.

The small mole at the corner of the eye is like a mole on one's heart, making one's chest itch with desire.

"My name is Shen Yan, and I just arrived at the cabin this afternoon."

Shen Yan led Ying Ning from the courtyard into the front of the villa. Just as he was about to push open the outer door, he heard her say softly behind him:

"My name is Yu Yingning."

With a knock, Shen Yan pushed open the door to the villa.

Yingning followed him inside. The small villa had three floors. The first floor had a living room, kitchen, and video recording room. The second floor had rooms for the female guests, and the third floor had rooms for the male guests.

Two young women sat on the large sofa in the beautifully decorated living room.

"This is Chen Hui, and this is Zhao Ruoruo," Shen Yan said, moving closer to Ying Ning and introducing her.

The two women on the sofa immediately got up and came over. The woman with long, wavy brown hair was Chen Hui, who extended her hand in a friendly manner.

"Hello, I am Chen Hui."

Zhao Ruoruo stood to Shen Yan's side and greeted Ying Ning across Shen Yan: "My name is Zhao Ruoruo, you can call me Ruoruo, sister."

"Hello everyone, my name is Yu Yingning."

Yingning's gaze slid unnoticed past Zhao Ruoruo's side, and the group exchanged their first greeting.

Shen Yan then spoke:

"Yingning, Lu Yuzhou has gone to change his clothes. You'll see him soon."

"We should have one more male guest who hasn't arrived yet, but he should be here soon."

The group sat on the sofa. Chen Hui sat on a single sofa, Ying Ning and Zhao Ruoruo sat together on the large sofa in the middle, and Shen Yan sat on a single sofa on the other side.

There are many fixed camera positions inside the villa.

Aside from the bathrooms and some changing rooms, almost every room has a pre-installed camera.

The cameras were all rolling, and although it was the first time the group had met, they could only chat awkwardly for the sake of the show.

"Sister Yingning, what do you do for a living?" Zhao Ruoruo asked.

“I just graduated and I’m currently working on planning my own brand,” Yingning replied, thinking about the need to cultivate a “rich, beautiful, and successful” persona.

"Wow, Sister Yingning is amazing!" Zhao Ruoruo clapped her hands and said, "I'm the consultant."

“I run a beauty salon,” Chen Hui suddenly said. Ying Ning looked at her and noticed that her skin was very well-maintained.

"Sister Huihui's family owns a chain of beauty salons, she really deserves to be called a rich and beautiful woman!" Zhao Ruoruo chimed in.

Chen Hui didn't reply, but instead glanced at Ying Ning.

"You are welcome to visit my family's beauty salon in the future."

Suddenly, footsteps came from the stairs on the second floor. The people on the sofa looked up and saw a man wearing a clean t-shirt and simple jeans coming down the stairs.

His sword-like eyebrows were striking and his eyes deep and thoughtful; his thin lips were pale as water; and the ends of his hair were slightly curled.

"Yu Zhou." Shen Yan called out his name, and Lu Yu Zhou walked to the sofa.

"Yu Zhou, this is Ying Ning who just arrived."

Yingning stood up and extended her hand: "Hello, I am Yu Yingning."

Lu Yuzhou didn't show much emotion, but responded politely and extended his hand.

"I am Lu Yuzhou."

It wasn't until his palm enveloped Yingning's small hand that he felt how soft and boneless it was, as if he could easily crush her with the slightest force.

Yingning could also feel the thin layer of calluses on his fingertips.

The two touched briefly before parting, and even as she withdrew her hand, Lu Yuzhou could still feel the last trace of her white, slender fingertips; the delicate, smooth texture of her skin lingered in his palm.

Lu Yuzhou's eyes darkened, but no one noticed.

Today is the day for the guests to check into the cabin. They will receive their assigned task cards early tomorrow morning. Five of the six guests have already arrived.

He Zhiqian has not arrived yet.

It was almost dinnertime, so the group discussed how to have dinner.

"I can't cook," Chen Hui said frankly.

"I don't know how either." Shen Yan was a young master, and his family usually had a chef, so he didn't need to cook for himself.

Zhao Ruoruo's eyes lit up with excitement as she raised her hand: "My cooking skills are pretty good."

“I’m doing alright too,” Yingning replied.

Lu Yuzhou nodded, indicating that he could also cook.

That's how the dinner chores were divided: Yingning, Zhao Ruoruo, and Lu Yuzhou were in charge of dinner.

Chen Hui and Shen Yan were responsible for washing dishes and cleaning the kitchen.

But everyone's enthusiasm after receiving the dinner assignments came to an abrupt halt the moment Lu Yuzhou opened the refrigerator...

Lu Yuzhou stared blankly at the empty refrigerator for a moment, then turned to them and said:

There are no vegetables in the refrigerator.

Yingning stopped in her tracks as she was about to enter the kitchen.

He walked over to his side and glanced at him: "There really aren't any vegetables. Looks like we'll have to go buy some."

"I'll go!" Shen Yan volunteered, his face beaming with excitement.

He hardly ever does grocery shopping anymore, but now he's quite enthusiastic about it.

"Should I go too?" Chen Hui felt bad asking the three of them to go out and buy groceries while the other three were cooking.

But who would have thought that Shen Yan would suddenly speak:

"I'd better have someone who can cook come with me, otherwise I won't know what to buy."

"Yingning,"
