However, the risk of exposing it now was too great. According to the timeline, Su Yuan was still very much in love with Lin Yuanzhou. Even if she exposed the negative information, it would be suppressed and she might even retaliate against her. It was really not worth it.
While she was daydreaming, Li Xi had already walked back to the B&B.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Lin Yuanzhou.
“…”Why is it so cunning?
"Sister, you're back from your walk." Without waiting for Li Xi to greet him, Lin Yuanzhou spoke loudly and cheerfully.
Li Xi: "..." Who is your sister, you big-slicked-back sister.
"When I first went out, I searched online for program information and looked up the guests' profiles. You should be Lin Yuanzhou, 22 years old. I'm only 20, so it's a bit inappropriate for you to call me sister." Li Xi believed that she looked very beautiful and youthful now, and she didn't deserve to be called "sister" by the 22-year-old Lin Yuanzhou. Besides, a guy who calls someone he doesn't know "sister" when he meets them is really a bit greasy.
Lin Yuanzhou was embarrassed for a moment, but quickly adjusted his expression and greeted with a smile, "My eyesight is not good, I should call you sister."
"Um."
"Where did you go shopping, little sister?"
"Just take a walk around here, take in the scenery and enjoy the breeze."
"Why did you think of traveling here alone?"
"Come if you want to." Li Xi didn't really want to chat with Lin Yuanzhou, and her answers were always perfunctory. But Lin Yuanzhou seemed oblivious to the distance in Li Xi's tone, and kept asking her questions.
As he was asking questions, he walked over to Li Xi, side by side. On the surface, he looked like a kind "waiter" taking the initiative to entertain the guests. To put it bluntly, he was just chatting, which was also a form of service.
Thinking of Li Xi, he asked, "The staff told me before that all services here besides accommodation are charged. Is your chatting with me for a while also a charge? How is the price set?"
Perhaps because he's used to being asked "how much" by guests, Lin Yuanzhou isn't embarrassed at all. "Because this is a reality show, we always have to have some topics to talk about. So the editing team designed this 'service fee' segment. Guests make requests, and we meet them. It's actually an opportunity for them to mess with us. For the production team, having the guests do this and that makes the edited show more interesting."
Li Xi nodded as she listened. If the customers didn't make any more trouble, these celebrities probably wouldn't have anything to do. They wouldn't be able to edit a single episode even after recording for ten days or half a month.
"As for whether I charge for my companionship just now, of course it's free! You can even try out the food when you go to the supermarket. If I want to charge for chatting with you, I have to try the position first. As for sales, I will naturally promote it and sell it when I think it's suitable." Lin Yuanzhou gave Li Xi a smile that he thought was very cheerful.
Li Xi: “…” She was stunned by the snow-white teeth again.
"I'm a little tired and hungry after walking around for a while. I don't need you to chat for the time being." To show that she was really tired, Li Xi pinched her eyebrows.
"It's okay, just come find me when you need me. I just checked in the kitchen, and the food should be almost ready. You can go sit in the dining room first, and I'll help you urge it."
"Thank you. I'll go to the restaurant first." She waved to Lin Yuanzhou and walked towards the restaurant without hesitation. As she walked, she sighed. Lin Yuanzhou was indeed very good at pleasing people and pretending to be someone else. Even though she knew his true face, she was still easily attracted by his smile. She thought he was just a sunny and cheerful boy with no ulterior motives, the kind that she couldn't help but want to get close to.
At this moment, Li Xi was particularly grateful for Luo Jingxuan's good looks. After looking at his handsome face more often, she was no longer so easily infatuated with handsome men. This was a good thing.
Li Xi had just sat down in the restaurant when Lu Jiu came over with some food.
Lu Jiu greeted Li Xi with a smile and began to direct the people to set the table. Li Xi looked at the delicious food on the table and her appetite was whetted. She didn't know how it would taste before she put it in her mouth, but from its appearance and smell, she knew it must be delicious.
To be honest, Li Xi really wanted to pick up her chopsticks and start eating. But Lu Jiu stood aside and clearly had something to say.
Li Xi smiled at Lu Jiu politely and asked, "Boss, do you have anything to say?"
"Ahem." Lu Jiu covered his lips with his hands and coughed twice to hide his cough. "Well, since you came to the inn, we haven't had the chance to introduce ourselves or our program. Now that everyone is here, I'll introduce it to you. It will be quick and we won't disturb your meal."
"Okay." Li Xi nodded and signaled Lu Jiu to start. Li Xi understood the routine of recording variety shows.
"You placed your order online, and you probably noticed that the B&B's online name isn't 'Happy Inn.' That was intentional by the production team. Our show, though called a reality show, is actually more like a few friends coming together to start a business and open a B&B. This place used to be a B&B, but it just didn't have much character. We signed a contract with the owner to rent it, and after discussing it with a few people, we redecorated it and tweaked the layout. Once it was complete, we opened it to the public. But since we're a show after all, our approach to guest reception is different from that of ordinary B&Bs. We only serve one group of guests at a time and meet any requests they have. Of course, there are appropriate fees for different services."
Lu Jiu didn't specify whether the expenses were paid by the guests themselves or by the production team, but Li Xi suspected that previous guests had paid their own way. After all, guests who could afford to stay at this B&B were likely well-off. She had asked the production team for funding simply because she didn't want to pay them, and she had negotiated for 20,000 yuan in reserve funds.
