Chapter 112 Summer Date [He Yan, marry with confidence, Yan Si will always be with you]...
Gift?
He Yan tapped the phone screen with his fingers.
This is the first time since the show started that someone has been asked to prepare a gift for the other person on a date. They didn't specify what type of gift to prepare, just that they shouldn't let the other person know in advance.
So what should I give as a gift...
Generally speaking, there are only a few gifts for dates. Flowers and jewelry are usually the first choice. Watches, ties and cufflinks are also very popular.
He Yan suddenly hesitated and fell into memories. After a few seconds, he pulled himself away and was shocked to realize that he had never given Zhu Shengting a gift.
Not even once.
He felt a little depressed because of this, and even confused for a moment, just like the day when Yuan Xingliang asked him what birthday gift he would give to Zhu Shengting.
Because time was tight and he couldn't prepare any particularly complicated gifts in one day, he closed his eyes, lay back on the bed, and began to "face the wall and reflect on his mistakes."
However, they are not officially in a relationship yet, they are more like ambiguous dates, so gifts need to be kept at an appropriate distance.
This is in line with the "game" rules of this show.
The room was very quiet. Yuan Xingliang was not there. The chirping of birds could be heard outside the window. He Yan stared at the lush tree in the yard in a daze. A gust of wind suddenly blew by, and a few dark green leaves fell, carrying a faint scent of gardenia.
He Yan paused, then suddenly thought of something and sat up.
He knew what to give.
He Yan didn't hesitate much, called the program staff, got up, changed his clothes and prepared to go out.

At night.
"Director Zhu, have you decided what gift to prepare?" Zhou Chengyin and Zhu Shengting sat at the table in the back garden drinking coffee.
Zhu Shengting had an idea soon after receiving the text message, "Well, what about you?"
"As for watches, the VB brand is quite suitable for Producer Tan." Zhou Chengyin coughed lightly twice.
Zhu Shengting took a sip of coffee and frowned, "Isn't it too expensive?"
After all, the minimum price of a watch of this brand starts at one hundred thousand. Although all the guests here have enough money, and Zhou Chengyin has it even more, it is still a bit too expensive to be given as a gift to a potential date.
After being reminded by Zhu Shengting, Zhou Chengyin realized that it seemed a bit inappropriate. He was used to giving all kinds of big-name gifts to his relatives and friends, and forgot that they were now participating in a dating variety show.
"You're right. Then I'll give her a CM pen. It's only a few hundred yuan, not a thousand yuan, and it's very cost-effective." Zhou Chengyin is quite good at giving gifts and knows a little about all brands.
Zhu Shengting smiled and suddenly became curious, "What did you usually give Yang Shao as a gift in the past?"
Zhou Chengyin's expression was unusually unnatural. He clasped his hands together on the table and said, "...wool felt or something like that."
"He wouldn't accept the expensive things I gave him, or he would give me expensive things in return. So I ended up making handmade gifts for him. To be honest, I don't have much talent for this. I have to try several times before I can finish one."
Zhu Shengting nodded thoughtfully. He finished his last sip of coffee and stood up. "I'm going to prepare a gift. See you later."
Zhou Chengyin didn't realize it until the people walked away. Zhu Shengting didn't say a word about what gift he was going to give, but he was the one who blurted out everything as if the cat had slipped out.
He slapped his head and said, "Damn."

On the fourteenth day at the villa, the third date is about to begin.
The guests still don’t know the venue of the date and are as curious as the netizens watching the live broadcast.
He Yan handed the gifts he had prepared to the staff in advance for safekeeping, then got into the nanny car, followed closely by Zhu Shengting.
The live broadcast officially began.
"It's like this. You two can write down on the whiteboard we've prepared what you think the other person has prepared for you as a date gift. We will exchange gifts after the date. If you guess right, the other person can promise to do something for you. If you guess wrong, you won't have this right." The staff member sitting in the co-pilot seat turned around and handed He Yan and Zhu Shengting a whiteboard and a pen each.
[Frog Fun, this date actually includes a date gift?!]
It’s time to test our tacit understanding
It’s too difficult to just guess.
[Maybe I can guess it right, I believe in Brother-in-law Ting]
[This is too hard to say, even harder than guessing where we'll go on a date later.]
【Can’t give a hint? 】
He Yan put the end of the pen to his lips and began to think about what Zhu Shengting would give him.
But... because the other person is someone who is used to giving him surprises, he usually can't guess correctly.
In the end, he played it safe and wrote the answer "rose".
Zhu Shengting didn't know if he could guess what gift he was going to give. Looking at his calm expression... he couldn't figure it out.
He Yan and Zhu Shengting handed the written whiteboard back to the staff. No one looked at it on purpose, leaving everyone in suspense.
[Ah... Why can't we see it from this angle?! ]
This show is so intoxicating! It keeps me scratching my head! It's so infuriating.
[It's okay. I feel relieved when I think about how they don't know each other either. It's not just us scratching our heads.]
[Where are the production team taking my product next… How did this road become a suburb?]
[The suburbs are great, you can do wild things]
【What is wild? ? 】
[Fuck, the barrage is too bold——]
Zhu Shengting looked at the scenery outside the car window and saw vast expanses of... rice fields.
"He Yan, this is a mistake." He turned his head and said to He Yan.
"Hey?" He Yan turned his head to look at him, "What's wrong?"
"We didn't wear sun hats or sun-protective clothing." Zhu Shengting pointed to the bright sun outside.
At one or two o'clock in the afternoon, the sun is at its hottest. They can't feel the air conditioning in the car now, but if they go out, they will start sweating in less than half a minute.
But based on their habitual thinking, they guessed that the date was most likely indoors, so it was impossible for them to prepare these things.
"Ah..." He Yan looked out the car window at the endless vegetable fields and realized belatedly that the production team might be taking them outside to a place without air conditioning. "It seems like this was indeed a bad idea."
[We're in a relationship that's out of place. You're not going to drag me and your partner into farming, are you?]
[When did it change from a pure love urban channel to a farming channel?]
[Farming literature is coming, right?... Okay, I like it too.]
[This is terrible! I thought a date was just the two of us being together indoors, but now I have a bad feeling.]
[Oh, Yang Shao and Yuan Xingliang went to the animal cafe to take pictures with the animals]
Xiao Qian and Mr. Fu went to the ski resort... Wow, it's so cool in the hot summer.
Teacher Lu and Brother Yuan have arrived at the theater. They seem to be watching a play. This is fine, but I would fall asleep easily.
[I think Zhou Chengyin and Tan Shengming really fell asleep. They went fishing in the lakeside park.]
【Oh, I know what the feast is going to be for! 】
The program crew's car stopped, and Zhu Shengting got out first, opened a parasol prepared in the car, and waited for He Yan to come down.
He Yan stepped from the cold air-conditioning into the hot and humid air, feeling a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, Zhu Shengting was holding an umbrella, so he was not exposed to the sun.
He raised his head slightly and looked forward, and saw the name of the destination written on the sign - Taoyuan.
"Welcome to your date destination today. You can pick as many peaches as you want in the orchard within three hours. You can eat them on site or take them back to the villa to share with other guests, but please don't waste them." After the staff said this, they handed the two people over to the boss in charge of the peach orchard.
[Oh, I knew it! They must be picking fruit.]
I didn’t expect this date.
[Eating peaches! It feels so good too. I love eating peaches!]
[Three hours of picking whatever you want... I'm turning into Monkey King, so jealous]
[But picking fruit in this weather is still a bit painful. It must be even hotter inside the fruit shed.]
[This is going to be physically sweaty]
The person in charge of the peach orchard is called Li Mu. He is a very enthusiastic person. He became even more enthusiastic when he saw the two handsome guys coming. He handed each of them a sun hat, prepared clean towels and aprons, and gave them two baskets that they could carry on their backs to carry the peaches.
"You can eat the peaches right after you pick them. Our peaches are pesticide-free and fresh, healthy, and sweet!" Li Mu led them into the fruit shed. "Go ahead and pick them. When you're done, just sit in the pavilion and rest."
"Thank you, Uncle Li." Zhu Shengting nodded to Li Mu.
It was the first time for He Yan to do this and he found it very novel. He carried the basket on his back with great enthusiasm, not at all bothered that the shirt he was wearing was an endorsement of a big brand.
As soon as half of his body entered the shed, he felt stuffy and hot instantly enveloped him, and He Yan subconsciously began to breathe heavily.
The peach shed is quite large, and if they were picking strawberries today, it would probably be even more stuffy.
Zhu Shengting followed behind He Yan, gently helping him carry the basket to relieve the pressure on He Yan's back.
He Yan naturally felt it as well. He didn't turn around, but just slowed down his pace and his ears turned red.
[Brother-in-law is worthy of being a brother-in-law, so considerate]
[Sister Yan, did you feel... your ears are red?]
[He Yan, rest assured to marry, Yansi will always be with you]
[Don't act upstairs, Yan Bao is the only one who is beautiful, she is dull and has no blush]
[Oh my god, there are actually live fans watching the feast date]
I feel like this date is going to be a feast where everyone gets their own picks… It won’t be as interactive as at the Animal Cafe, nor will it be like fishing where you can chat all the time, nor can we go skiing together… I hate you, production team.
[It’s okay, it’s okay. At least the visuals are very pleasing to the eye… It looks like a summer art film about same-sex relationships. Very beautiful.]
[The main reason is that Shengyan and his two friends are so beautiful and handsome that they look like a movie in one frame.]
[The peaches here look delicious... I really want to eat some. Can Leopard Cat bring some back for me?]
He Yan walked to a peach tree and looked up, his attention drawn to the beautifully colored peaches on the tree. He raised his hand and grabbed the one closest to him, twisting it gently, and the fresh peach fell easily into his hand.
He remembered what Li Mu had just said, and without hesitation, he took a bite of the peach in his hand. It was juicy, moderately sweet, and very delicious.
"Is it delicious?" Zhu Shengting tilted his head and looked at him.
He Yan took another bite and nodded repeatedly without even bothering to speak. "It's really delicious. Come on, take one and try it."
The sweet juice flowed down He Yan's fingertips, through his slender fingers to the palm and back of his hand, making his hand sticky.
But He Yan ignored all this and concentrated on eating the peach in his hand. After a few more bites, only a core was left.
He threw the core into the garbage bag he had prepared in advance, and just as he was about to change his hand to pick another one, his wrist was grabbed.
He Yan looked up along the hand that was holding him, and saw that Zhu Shengting was also equally focused, but he was just carefully taking out a clean towel and wiping his hands.
The air became thicker, and the coolness that had just entered his mouth quickly disappeared. He Yan blinked and felt even more thirsty.
After Zhu Shengting wiped the peach carefully, he let go. He Yan curled up his fingers that had been wiped clean, picked another peach, and handed it to Zhu Shengting.
"Try it."
Zhu Shengting glanced at the mouth-watering peach in his hand, but instead of taking it with his hands, he lowered his head and took a bite before standing up, his eyes fixed on He Yan's.
He Yan's face also turned the same pink as the peach. He felt the peach in his hand was getting hot. "Is it delicious?"
Zhu Shengting grasped the wrist of He Yan's hand holding the peach with his large hand and took another bite.
"Yeah, it's the sweetest peach I've ever tasted."
