[Petting cats? Director Xia, do you even believe that yourself?]

【Why don't you believe me? He's just petting the cat, he's petting the adorable cat, hmph <(｀^′)＞】

Why is he the only one who gets to pet the adorable cat? I'm so envious!

Am I the only one envious of Jinmaomao? Yuan Gou Gou is so handsome, with such a great figure—broad shoulders, narrow waist, defined collarbones, and his abs must be amazing too! Hehehe, can I take a look?!

"No way." Seeing this comment, Xia Linyuan finally spoke, with a hint of arrogance and a touch of smugness: "Everything I own belongs to Jinmaomao, and I only show it to Jinmaomao."

After saying that, he turned off the live stream, picked up his phone, and teased Si Jin: "Jin Cat, remember to turn off your phone, otherwise your account will be gone sooner or later."

"Oh." Si Jin nodded, then retorted with a smile, "Then who's to blame? Yuan Gou Gou?"

Xia Linyuan's heart skipped a beat, sensing that Si Jin's words implied, "Do you still want to sleep with me? You sly dog, Yuan?"

So, Yuan Gou drooped down his two invisible ears, stepped forward and hugged the person, saying in a muffled voice, "It's my fault."

… …

Half an hour later, the nighttime recording officially began.

The assistant director stood in front of the group of eight guests and earnestly explained the situation: "I'm sorry everyone, the weather forecast shows heavy rain tomorrow, so we have to change the live broadcast originally scheduled for tomorrow morning to a pre-recorded broadcast tonight. Please bear with us."

"This game is called 'Heartbeat Blind Box'. The guests are still divided into pairs. In each pair, one person is responsible for going back to the room to prepare a gift, and the other person is responsible for navigating the maze."

"One kilometer east of the inn, there is a 'Defeating the Enemy Maze' built by the locals. The guests who are responsible for navigating the maze have to find keys with their loved ones' names written on them to open blind boxes. Staff members will try to catch you in the maze, and if you are caught, you have to start over."

"After you find the key, staff will lead you out of the maze and give you a heart rate monitoring bracelet."

"When I got back to my room and opened the door, I saw the gift my partner had prepared for me."

"The team with the highest heart rate wins!"

"Now, please discuss which part you want to be responsible for. In five minutes, guests who have prepared gifts, please follow the staff to the prop room to select the materials needed to make your gifts."

The weather is getting gloomy; dark clouds are obscuring the moonlight, and the wind is making people shiver involuntarily.

Xia Linyuan decisively nudged Si Jin: "It's too cold outside. Go back inside and prepare the gift. Don't catch a cold from the wind."

After he finished speaking, Shang Yijue and Su Qingzhou said almost the same thing to their lovers.

As the dominant partner, of course I have to take responsibility; a little breeze is nothing.

Lu Wenshu glanced at the new guest and blurted out, "It's too cold outside. I'll go back inside and get ready. There's no surprise anyway."

After saying that, without waiting for the other party's agreement, she took the initiative to go back into the house to prepare gifts.

New guest: ...

Everyone: ...

The assistant director rubbed his temples wearily. His new guest was a popular young idol. Even if Lu Wenshu wanted to go back to his room, he should at least be polite to him, right?

If this part were released, Lu Wenshu would definitely be severely criticized by other people's fans.

never mind.

The assistant director was too lazy to remind him anymore—he couldn't stop an arrogant, untrustworthy, and recklessly self-destructive person like Lu Wenshu, who would eventually end up in utter ruin, just like Yu Bai.

… …

The game began, and the guests left to focus on their respective tasks.

As soon as Lu Wenshu returned to his room, he couldn't wait to lock the door and dial Yu Bai's number.

"Is that pretty boy you found, the one who went to the maze to seduce Xia Linyuan, reliable? You absolutely have to get evidence of their intimacy to prove that Xia Linyuan has fallen for someone else."

"Now, my darling Jinjin, you can truly return to my arms~"
