Three hours later, the plane finally landed at the seaside villa arranged by the production team.
Because they arrived together, they need to wait for the two groups of people on another flight.
Yu Huaining and Wei Ke walked at the front. As soon as they saw the villa, Yu Huaining showed a look of surprise and delight.
"The production team must have really skimmed off this time!"
Cen Yu looked at the villa in front of them with some confusion.
Is there a discrepancy between the novel's portrayal and reality? He vaguely remembers the villa in the original story as a "cozy little house," but now it's hardly a house at all!
They could film 10 seasons of a reality show in there!
Sang Qianshan glanced at the villa, then looked at Yu Jinheng walking at the back of the crowd. At this moment, the program director spoke up—
"Thanks to our big sponsor who provided our seaside villa!"
Although Cen Yu was curious as to why the villa had suddenly gone from "cozy" to "unaffordable," he assumed it was because the sponsors behind the show had seen its huge potential and suddenly increased their investment, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
The entire villa is located on a hillside by the beach, occupying a large area.
The first-floor wall facing the beach was completely opened up and turned into a sliding floor-to-ceiling window. When the window is opened, you can walk directly from the living room to the outdoor terrace with teak sofas, facing the unobstructed sea view.
Behind the villa are facilities such as a swimming pool. The overall decoration of the villa is mainly beige, wood, and woven style. Cen Yu thought at a glance that the soft furnishings alone were very expensive.
After entering the villa, the group simply sat down on the outdoor sofa.
The luggage was temporarily placed in the living room by the group.
Then the production team started distributing task cards.
Sang Qianshan took the envelope and handed it to him. Cen Yu opened it and found that it contained the first task of the day—
Room allocation by lottery
"...Draw lots to allocate rooms?" Cen Yu couldn't help but read it aloud.
Sang Qianshan, standing beside him, frowned immediately. "Draw lots?" He looked at the production team. "Shouldn't it be friends living together?"
The director wiped away imaginary cold sweat and chuckled dryly, "Isn't it because... the budget suddenly increased a lot, so we don't have to cram everyone together anymore?"
As he spoke, his gaze couldn't help but drift towards Yu Jinheng, who was sitting quietly in the armchair.
Even in a warm place like the seaside, he only took off his coat, still wearing his beige-gray knit sweater. He glanced at the mission card, then put it aside as if he wasn't interested.
"Ahem," the director continued, "because there are suddenly a lot more empty rooms, so we don't have to share a room anymore!"
"However, there are only four single rooms available. I wonder who will be so lucky?"
Yu Huaining wanted to ask the director if he had lost his mind!
Isn't the point of this show supposed to be the sparks that fly when "good friends" live in the same room, and the subtle and overt conflicts with others? Now that they don't live together anymore, what sparks are there to generate?
Wei Ke, who was beside him, didn't seem to have thought of this yet.
Their eyes lit up as soon as they heard that there were single rooms available.
"What a fool!" Yu Huaining rolled his eyes inwardly, feeling that his brotherly bond with him was being wasted. While thinking this to himself, he still outwardly wore a surprised expression.
"However, we have some girls among us, so how about we give the single room to the female guest?"
He winked as he spoke, "Let's draw lots, you guys."
He was thinking to himself, "Heh, there are only three female guests in total. Each of them will have their own room. I don't believe I'm so unlucky as to be assigned a single room!"
Yu Huaining had already planned it out when he went on the show: this time he would not only suck the blood of Sang Qianshan, but also that of Pei Zhe!
As for that idiot Wei Ke, who cares!
【Ahhh, Ningning is such a sweetheart, so thoughtful!】
[...and they even put on an act for the guy who freeloaded, ugh!]
[Oh my god, the production team is really good at causing trouble! What if Gege and Tengge end up in the same room? I'll die laughing!]
However, Yu Huaining's plan was well-thought-out, but he didn't expect that the other two groups of artists would also arrive. When they heard that the first task was to assign rooms, the only female group immediately spoke up, "We two can stay together!"
Female idol Lin Xinyan immediately wrapped her arm around her senior's wrist, saying, "It feels like going back to when I was in school."
Her senior also said with a smile, "We won't draw lots, Yan Yan and I will live together."
The two of them lived together, which made things a bit awkward for the other couple. After all, it was obviously inappropriate for Yu Kexin, a female guest who wasn't a celebrity, to live in the same room as other strange men.
So the production team immediately decided that she would move into a single room.
At this point, only three single rooms and the remaining double rooms were available...
Cen Yu glanced at the remaining few people.
Yu Jinheng, you venomous snake, stay as far away from me as possible.
Pei Zhe, a smiling tiger, avoid contact with him.
Sang Qianshan is a good person, but it's best to avoid being one of the main characters' seme.
Yu Huaining and Wei Ke are two idiots.
Jian Zhou, the guy, I'm not familiar with him... He doesn't seem to have much of a role in the original work. Cen Yu stared at Jian Zhou for a moment. He's a sunny and refreshing handsome guy, the kind of guy who's the epitome of a first love. He's recently become very popular because of a youth movie.
The production team didn't care what these people were thinking and immediately took out the prepared props and had everyone draw lots.
Sang Qianshan glanced at the box in front of him. "Isn't that a bit unfair?"
"How is it unfair?" the director immediately asked. "These were all blind draws!"
"People who draw the same room will stay in the same room," he said, pausing slightly. "It's purely based on luck."
“What if someone does something underhanded?” Sang Qianshan said. “For example, they might have all the room slips prepared in advance, so they can’t just choose which room to stay in?”
[...I'm impressed, Princess. Her thought process is truly extraordinary.]
[Who is this lovesick fool who bribed the production team just to live with their friend? Stop judging others by your own standards, okay? (annoying)]
Love drives people crazy. I'm even worried that my boyfriend will live with another handsome guy. Even top celebrities are starting to talk nonsense. (shakes head and sighs)
Sang Qianshan glanced at Yu Jinheng, who happened to be sitting on the outermost edge of the crowd, and knew that it was obviously impossible to ask the production team to change the way they drew rooms at this time.
Then he added, "Let's start with us."
He happened to be sitting on the far right, with Cen Yu to his left... Following this order, Yu Jinheng was the last to draw lots.
Although the production team didn't know why Sang Qianshan wanted to do this, it was a small request anyway, so they simply did as he said and started drawing lots from Sang Qianshan's position.
After everyone had drawn all the cards from the box, Sang Qianshan glanced at Yu Jinheng over there and said, "Since you just drew your cards from our side, why don't we flip the cards from the other side this time?"
He looked at Yu Jinheng and asked, "What room number did you draw, Brother Jinheng?"
