Love (forty-nine)
Everyone had expected that Cheng Jinyan and Wang Leke were willing to replace Jiang Hengda and stay as regular guests.
Ruan Qi looked up from her bowl in surprise.
"Brother, isn't your company busy? Will staying abroad affect your work?"
Cheng Jinyan shook his head, picked up a piece of small steak for her, and said softly, "I already handed over the work before coming here. It won't affect me if I don't go back for two or three days. Besides, I haven't had a break this year, so I can take this opportunity to relax."
Cheng Jinyan is a well-known workaholic. In his life dictionary, there is only involution, and there are no words such as "rest" and "relaxation".
So, everyone knew why he wanted to take this opportunity to relax - of course, it was for Ruan Qi.
It was because of Ruan Qi that Cheng Jinyan was willing to stay a few more days. It was also because of Ruan Qi that Young Master Cheng was willing to give the director this favor and replace Jiang Hengda as a regular guest.
As for Wang Leke, the reason for staying is easier to guess. As the entertainment industry's top Ruan fan, he is wherever Sister Ruan is. Wang Leke is more than willing to stay with Sister Ruan for a few more days.
So, the two temporary guests stayed.
Without Jiang Hengda, the stinky fish, the atmosphere in the hut became more relaxed and harmonious. Everyone got along well with each other every day. Although there were often jokes while doing farm work, everyone was very happy.
And happy days always pass quickly.
Amidst everyone's laughter and cheers, the first episode of the dating variety show came to an end.
According to the program's procedures, on the last day of each live broadcast, the guests will take turns entering the small black room to make a brief summary.
This summary can be a confession to your partner, a self-reflection, or some words from your heart to express your inner feelings for the past seven days.
So, at ten o'clock in the morning on the last day, all the guests gathered in the living room on the first floor of the villa.
Arranged according to the age of the guests, the first one to enter the small dark room was Shi Su, followed by Ge Meilanlan and Xi Jiu.
While waiting for Xi Jiu and the other three to enter the small dark room, Si Lin took out a deck of cards and started playing Landlord with Ruan Qi and Ji Beibei.
"Three with one, do you want it?"
"Yes! Four threes, I'll blow you up!"
"Hey, four sixes, bigger than yours! Anyone else want one? I only have two cards left!"
"I want it." Ruan Qi said, throwing out two kings. "King bomb, no one wants it? Then I'll continue. Four twos and a three. Win!"
Ruan Qi quickly cleared the cards in his hand, and then reached out to them amid Si Lin Ji Beibei's wailing.
"Each of you, put a piece of paper on your face. Hurry up and be proactive."
Si Lin Ji Beibei took the note from Ruan Qi with a sad face, and complained as he pasted it on his face, "Ruan Bao, what's your luck? You've won three games in a row! Do people who are good at studying also play cards well?"
"It's just luck. Thank you very much." Ruan Qi shuffled the cards with a smile. When she looked up, she saw Wang Leke wandering around in the living room.
She couldn't help but ask Wang Leke: "Wang Leke, what are you doing? I saw you wandering around the living room all morning."
Wang Leke, who was scratching his head, stopped and frowned: "Sister Ruan, I can't find my phone."
"Cellphone?" Ruan Qi blinked. "I remember you used your cell phone to call your dad during breakfast."
Wang Leke: "Yeah. But I couldn't find it after dinner. I even searched the refrigerator, but there was no trace of it."
Wang Leke and Cheng Jinyan were temporary guests and did not need to go into the small dark room to make a summary. Wang Leke kept looking for his phone in the small villa for nearly an hour but found nothing.
Ruan Qi grabbed the cards and asked him with concern, "Have you searched the bedroom? And the kitchen?"
"I've been staying on the first floor since breakfast. My phone can't be in the bedroom. I've looked in the kitchen, but it's not there." Wang Leke said, irritably opening the TV cabinet drawer and rummaging through it. "I have a video conference today. I can't have the meeting without my phone. My dad will scold me to death."
Seeing that Wang Leke was anxious, Ruan Qi decided to help him look for it after he finished playing this hand of cards.
At this time, Xi Jiu, who was waiting in line to go to the small dark room to make a summary, pushed the door and walked in from outside.
Ruan Qi saw him and blinked in surprise: "Jiujiu, why are you back? Have you finished the summary?"
"No." Xi Jiu walked over to sit beside her, gently shaking the phone in his hand. "I just received a call and took care of some official business. Baby, are you playing Landlord?"
Ruan Qi narrowed her eyes and said, "Yeah, I won three games in a row. Isn't that impressive?"
Xi Jiu glanced at Si Lin Ji Beibei, whose face was covered with notes, and raised his thin lips.
"Awesome, baby is the best at everything he does." Xi Jiu completely ignored Si Lin and Ji Beibei's life or death, and praised Ruan Qi like he didn't want any money.
Ruan Qi's face turned red from his praise. She pursed her lips in embarrassment and threw out a pair of trump cards.
Si Lin, who had only one card left, screamed.
"Teacher Ruan, why do you have another trump card? Can't you just let me win for once?!"
"I can't help it, I'm just too lucky." Ruan Qi threw the last card away with a smile, "Sorry, I won again."
Si Lin and Ji Beibei sighed and threw the remaining cards in their hands onto the coffee table.
"Still playing?"
"Let's stop playing. It's almost our turn to go into the small dark room." Ruan Qi packed up the cards and stood up. "I'm going to help Wang Leke find his phone. You guys take a break. Jiujiu, how long will it take you to get into the small dark room?"
"Right away." Xi Jiu lowered his head and handled some official business on his phone. At this moment, the staff of the program team informed him at the entrance that it was time to enter the small dark room.
Xi Jiu responded and was about to turn off his phone when Assistant Mu suddenly sent him a WeChat message.
Assistant Mu: Boss, we have an urgent document that needs your attention. It's quite large, so it might take a minute. I've sent it to your email. Please sign it after receiving it. The company needs it urgently.
The Xi family has been dealing with a large project in recent days. Many things require the decision of Xi Jiu, the helmsman, and many documents are waiting for his signature.
Assistant Mu finally managed to contact Xi Jiu, and couldn't wait to send him the documents that needed to be processed urgently.
Xi Jiu understood his subordinates' urgency and immediately opened his mailbox and clicked to receive the message.
The file was quite large, and it would take about a minute to transfer it completely. However, at this moment, the staff of the production team came over to urge him again.
"Master Xi, Sister Lan Lan has finished recording. It's your turn to go in."
Xi Jiu didn't want to keep the production crew waiting. The file wasn't finished transferring yet. If he left now, his phone would lose the internet connection, and the half-transferred file would be wasted.
Xi Jiu thought about it and put his phone on the sofa.
"Baby," he looked up at Ruan Qi who was helping Wang Leke find his cell phone and called her.
Ruan Qi, who was searching for her phone, raised her head.
Xi Jiu pointed to the phone on the sofa and said to her, "Assistant Mu is sending me a document. I'm going to the small dark room soon. Please keep an eye on the phone for me for a while."
Ruan Qi glanced at Xi Jiu's phone call and nodded.
"I know, Jiujiu, go ahead and don't worry."
Xi Jiu stood up, walked to Ruan Qi, rubbed her head, then turned and went to the small dark room.
After Xi Jiu left, Ruan Qi searched in the living room for a while, and then Wang Leke, Si Lin and Ji Beibei came back.
"Did you find it?"
"I can't find it. I searched the second-floor bedroom, but I can't find it." Wang Leke was getting anxious. "The meeting starts in half an hour. Where on earth did I put my phone?"
Ruan Qi comforted him: "Don't worry. Think about where you went this morning."
"Yes, Mr. Wang, don't be anxious, think about it slowly. Beibei and I will go to the yard to help you look for it." After Si Lin finished speaking, he and Ji Beibei went to the villa yard.
Wang Leke stood at the door of the living room, racking his brains for a long time, but still couldn't remember where he had lost his phone.
Helplessly, he had to search the living room again with Ruan Qi.
Ruan Qi was responsible for finding various cabinets and drawers, while Wang Leke lay on the ground checking the gaps under the sofa and cabinets.
"It's not under the coffee table, nor under the TV cabinet..." Wang Leke stuck his butt out, put his face on the ground, and muttered as he searched, "Under the sofa...under the sofa..."
He moved to the front of the sofa, his eyes swept under the sofa, and then moved to the top of the sofa.
Suddenly, a mobile phone appeared in his sight.
It's black, the same brand, and the screen is the same size as his phone.
Wang Leke's eyes lit up.
Found it!
Isn't this his cell phone?
Perhaps he was so distracted by searching for the phone that Wang Leke didn't think about why he hadn't seen it on the sofa just now. He quickly got up from the ground, rushed over, and grabbed the phone.
"Damn it, damn it, I finally found it. Quickly open WeChat and video chat with my dad!"
Wang Leke muttered softly, and long-pressed his finger on the phone screen. Various apps running in the background appeared on the main interface.
Wang Leke quickly found WeChat and tapped it lightly with his finger.
However, perhaps because he was too tired from rummaging through the boxes and drawers just now, his fingers were shaking a little, so the hand that was originally going to click on WeChat clicked on Weibo next door.
"Oh, Wang Leke," Ruan Qi, who was rummaging through the cabinets with her back to him, suddenly said, "Jiujiu's phone is on the sofa, don't move it."
Wang Leke: ???
Jiujiu’s cell phone?
On the sofa?
Wang Leke suddenly raised his head, and his confused gaze moved from the mobile phone in his hand to the sofa, and then from the sofa back to the mobile phone.
Then, the pupils trembled.
Shit...he took the wrong phone?!
This phone isn't his, but Mr. Xi's?!
Wang Leke had a natural fear of Xi Jiu. When he learned that the phone belonged to Xi Jiu, his hands began to tremble and froze in mid-air.
This stiff and slow reaction made him miss the perfect moment to turn off Xi Jiu's phone. The Weibo post he had accidentally clicked on earlier popped up in the blink of an eye.
In order to broadcast every aspect of the guests live, the program team installed countless cameras in this villa.
One of the cameras was placed one meter behind the sofa in the living room.
So, when Wang Leke accidentally touched Xi Jiu's phone and the Weibo interface popped up, the high-definition, blue-ray camera, which could even see the texture of the sofa fabric, took a clear picture of Xi Jiu's Weibo main interface.
As luck would have it, Xi Jiu was alone in his empty room this morning. Out of boredom, he changed his Weibo account and liked and reposted Ruan Qi's new magazine cover.
And his Weibo account is called——
Little sun and big ice cube.
Wang Leke: Hello, how much is the cemetery in Fule Mountain? I want a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment.
