"Master, you should read less novels!"
But sister, I watched it all with you.
The system's voice was innocent and naive, and Chu Xinxin suddenly felt a sense of guilt for leading the child astray.
"Ahem, that's all for now, time to sleep."
Chu Xinxin is so tired, she needs some peace and quiet.
Once things quieted down, I quickly fell asleep... and then a loud door slam rang out down the hallway—
"Damn it, I swear I'll never share the same sky with Shen Tianye!"
......
The next day, Chu Xinxin appeared at the recording site with huge dark circles under her eyes. Liu An looked at her and then at Shen Tianye, who also had dark circles under his eyes, and seriously suspected that the two of them had fought the night before.
Almost the same. After Shen Tianye deliberately slammed the door, Chu Xinxin refused to back down and knocked on Shen Tianye's door every ten minutes, then ran away. Shen Tianye was annoyed and finally simply left the door open and waited for her. The two argued back and forth until three in the morning, when Shen Tianye finally realized that he was wasting his life and that was the end of it.
Fortunately, only the two of them live on the third floor; otherwise, given the level of disturbance, others might have called the police.
The system was speechless at their childish behavior and deeply regretted sending Chu Xinxin to the dating show.
After glancing at Chu Xinxin and Shen Tianye a few times and sensing their low mood, Liu An remained rational and didn't ask any questions. Instead, he turned around and began assigning tasks to the guests for the day. The tasks were divided into pairs, with men and women drawing lots separately. Those who drew the same task would form a pair.
Chu Xinxin and Shen Tianye happened to draw the same lot to go hiking together, and they climbed to the top of the mountain to bring back the mission items.
"System, did you cheat? Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?" Chu Xinxin was very suspicious, but she had no evidence.
The system voice sounded a little sleepy: "Sister, you guys were arguing until 3 AM last night, and I just logged on."
The implication was that it was purely accidental and had nothing to do with his system.
Just as Chu Xinxin finished speaking to the system, she heard Shen Tianye tell Liu An that he wanted to replace the person.
Upon hearing this, the cameraman immediately shoved the lens into Shen Tianye's face; audiences love watching these kinds of dramas involving feuds and disagreements.
Liu An deliberately stirred up trouble: "President Shen, so many people want to be on Xin Xin's team. Don't you like her?"
Shen Tianye: "We are incompatible according to the Chinese zodiac."
Everyone: ...
So direct, so straightforward, so unpretentious!
Liu An: "How come I remember that you, President Shen, didn't believe in these things?"
The fact that Shen Tianye's car license plate number is 4444 makes this reason completely unconvincing.
Liu An withstood Shen Tianye's threatening gaze and decisively refused him.
Shen Tianye wanted to ignore everything and go straight to his room to rest, but his assistant promptly handed him the investment contract to look at.
After seeing the string of zeros on the contract amount, Shen Tianye pursed his lips, pressed down the corners of his mouth, and stood there for a few seconds before walking towards the car.
The car had five seats; the driver and photographer sat in the front, while Chu Xinxin sat in the back.
Shen Tianye suddenly acted out like a typical CEO, insisting that the production team send him a car by himself.
Liu An really wanted to yell, "Dude, this is a dating reality show! How can you have a relationship if you don't interact with the female guests?"
Shen Tianye didn't care; he wouldn't go unless a separate car was sent.
He was the financier, so he made the decisions, and Liu An compromised.
It took almost an hour for the new car to arrive.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, it was the hottest time of day.
Chu Xinxin made up her mind: if she wanted to break the contract, so be it; if she wanted to pay compensation, so be it. Anyway, she wasn't going to do it anymore. Shen Tianye was not only an idiot but also a troublemaker.
The mountain wasn't very high, but the path leading up it had no trees to provide shade, and Chu Xinxin was practically drying out in the sun.
To encourage more interaction between the male and female guests, the production team set up some charades and other small games during the show, rewarding them with cable car tickets if they succeeded.
Chu Xinxin drew a picture, and Chen Tianye guessed.
But it would be better if this game didn't exist.
Shen Tianye insisted that "Stewed Chicken with Mushrooms" was actually stewed chicken with mushrooms.
Chu Xinxin pointed at the shiitake mushroom: "What is this?"
Shen Tianye: "Umbrella."
"It's not an umbrella, it's a similar type of food."
Looking at the flat-topped "umbrella" drawn by Chu Xinxin, Shen Tianye blurted out, "Jellyfish."
"......"
In the end, Chu Xinxin realized that the president was physically inept and knew nothing about farming. She reasonably suspected that Shen Tianye had never eaten this dish before.
The next question is even more ingenious.
The title is "Monkeys Eating Bananas".
Chu Xinxin drew the monkey first, then the banana.
Shen Tianye couldn't even guess it!
Chu Xinxin: "Think again, this is an animal, this is fruit..."
Shen Tianye looked at the straight, upright thing, and the thing that was drawn very abstractly, but could be vaguely made to look like a person.
Before he could even finish speaking, he frowned and asked the staff around him, "If I told them this, would the show be broadcast?"
Everyone: ......
Staff member: What the hell is going on in your head?!
Anyway, Chu Xinxin and Shen Tianye didn't guess any of them correctly and wasted a lot of time. Even the photographer had come to believe that their horoscopes didn't match.
The summit was still a long way off, and Shen Tianye's brows were furrowed so tightly they were practically knotted together.
He took the painting Chu Xinxin had drawn, looked at it for a couple of seconds, and then threw it back into Chu Xinxin's arms: "Go back and sign up for a class to learn how to draw."
Chu Xinxin: "President Shen, why don't you tell me where you learned to shift blame?"
The two exchanged a glance, snorted, and turned their heads to the sides.
As time went on, by the time they reached the top of the mountain, it was already dark.
The production team prepared quite a lot of items, packed in a large bag.
The original idea was for the male and female guests to go down the mountain together, with the male guest taking care of the female guest during the descent, which would then lead to the female guest developing feelings for him, and so on.
Although Shen Tianye didn't want to carry the bags with Chu Xinxin, he didn't want to carry them himself either, so he had no choice but to walk down the street with Chu Xinxin, each carrying one bag on one side.
He was 1.9 meters tall with long legs and big strides, which made it difficult for Chu Xinxin to keep up. In addition, it was dark and she couldn't see the road clearly. When they passed an uneven spot, Chu Xinxin didn't see the depression in the ground and twisted her ankle, falling forward.
Shen Tianye noticed the commotion and nimbly dodged to the side, causing Chu Xinxin to fall heavily to the ground.
That's terrible!
My knee is badly scraped and my ankle is twisted.
It was late at night, and they were on a mountain. The two photographers, three assistants, and four bodyguards were so scared that their hearts almost stopped. They immediately dropped what they were holding and came up to help Chu Xinxin up. Shen Tianye was completely pushed aside by this group of people.
After seeing Xin Xin's wounds clearly, all nine people turned to Shen Tianye with reproachful eyes.
Shen Tianye's expression remained indifferent, his brows and eyes cold and stern, showing no concern.
Seeing Chu Xin's heartbroken, tearful eyes, he added casually, "Don't pretend to fall and throw yourself at me, I won't fall for that."
Chu Xinxin was so angry at him that she cried. How could there be such a... such a wicked person!
Chu Xinxin was injured in the fall, so everyone had to take the cable car down the mountain.
Shen Tianye followed along, but as soon as he lifted his foot, Chu Xinxin pointed at his nose and said, "He wasn't hurt, he should follow the program rules and walk down by himself."
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Chu Xinxin looked at him defiantly: "You said you wouldn't buy into that, but you want to enjoy the same treatment I received when I was injured. So, Mr. Shen is two-faced after all..."
Chu Xinxin lipped out the word "bitch" but didn't say it aloud, though Shen Tianye understood.
Shen Tianye gave Chu Xinxin a deep look. Very well, she'll be blacklisted soon.
