Zhong Siqiu looked at him in astonishment: "Ah?"

She didn't react, but Wang Bujie, who received Xia Ceming's hint, had reacted. He breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly, "Yes, yes, I did have this plan. I didn't expect that Si Qiu saw through it before I could even say it out loud. Hahaha."

Dinner? What kind of dinner?

Zhong Siqiu frowned and was about to speak when she inadvertently looked up and met the gaze of Shen Yan, who was sitting opposite her. The faint warning that appeared in his dark eyes made her expression freeze slightly.

Li Yingmeng's heart almost beat out of her throat.

When she first arrived at the villa, Zhong Siqiu had an unpleasant argument with her. She could feel Zhong Siqiu's hostility and dislike for her, and it was not simply because she did not greet them first.

Therefore, she would not be surprised even if Zhong Siqiu revealed in public the next second that "she" had had sex with Wang Bujie.

But Xia Ceming's sudden request for "dinner invitation" and Wang Bujie's subsequent response left her a little confused.

...Could it be that she was feeling guilty, overly nervous, and thinking too much?

"As long as this program has not been recorded to the end, each guest has the freedom to contact each other," Shen Yan stirred the soup in the bowl with a spoon, emitting hot steam, and said lightly: "Aren't you interfering too much with their freedom to have dinner?"

"Yes," Xie Chenxiao said unexpectedly, repeating Shen Yan's words with an ambiguous meaning: "As long as this program has not been recorded to the end, every guest has the freedom to contact each other."

I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but when he mentioned “each guest”, his tone became slightly heavier, as if he was implying something.

Shen Yan drank the soup expressionlessly, pretending not to hear his voice.

Zhong Siqiu was a little confused at first, but after hearing Shen Yan speak, what else did she not understand? It was nothing more than covering up in front of Shen You.

It was also her fault, she let the cat out of the bag in the heat of the moment.

Zhong Siqiu's smile froze. "Yes, you're right. I am too possessive. I'm worried that after Brother Jie and Xiao Meng get to know each other, he will fall in love with someone else..."

She gritted her teeth and babbled a few words, her mind went blank and she had no idea what she was talking about.

However, judging from Shen You's expression, he seemed to believe the "dinner date" excuse and dispelled his suspicions.

When dinner was almost over, Shen You volunteered to wash the dishes. I took a long nap today and couldn't help you. I'm really sorry.

Someone volunteered, so Xia Ceming was naturally happy to see it happen. He immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay, okay."

Xie Chenxiao also raised his hand like her, "Then I have to wash the dishes too. I didn't help much today."

???

Li Yingmeng looked at him in surprise: "You went to the supermarket with us today to buy things and helped move things."

How could it be that he didn't help? "No," Xie Chenxiao said calmly, "You remembered it wrong."

As he spoke, he stood up swiftly and quickly stacked the dishes on the plate together.

Li Yingmeng wanted to say something, but Xia Ceming, who had seen through everything, waved his hand to stop her and said with a smile: "It's okay, maybe he just likes washing dishes and loves to work. Just let him do it, otherwise he will feel uncomfortable."

It's almost like loving to tell lies with open eyes.

Shen Yan snorted in his heart, stood up without saying a word, picked up the dishes at hand, followed Shen You to the kitchen, and noticed Xie Chenxiao approaching, so he blocked him calmly, tilted his head and said coldly: "Please go to the sink over there to wash, men and women should not touch each other."

Xie Chenxiao:?

"Men and women should not touch each other?" Xie Chenxiao raised his eyebrows and smiled: "The Qing Dynasty has been gone for eight hundred years, but I didn't expect that the remnants of feudalism are still here."

While the two were talking, Shen You had already washed all the dishes at hand.

Feeling the increasingly strong smell of gunpowder in the kitchen, she sighed helplessly in her heart and said with a smile: "Actually, I can finish washing these things by myself. Otherwise, why don't you two go out and quarrel? The space here is too small, and it may not be enough for you to play."

“…” - As the night deepened, before the time for listening to the messages was up, the girls received several small gifts from the program production team.

There are four in total, and the staff means that each of them can randomly choose one according to their preferences.

The four gifts are:

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Sunglasses, a Lego sports car, a small pendant, and... a bag of nuts? Shen You couldn't help laughing when he saw the bag of nuts and asked the staff, "Is this a gift prepared by Xiao Ming?"

It is not difficult for anyone who has watched similar variety shows to guess that the program crew would certainly not give them gifts for no reason.

There are four male guests now, and the gifts happen to be four different ones. It is easy to imagine that the program team must have asked the male guests to prepare them.

Without telling them who gave each of the gifts, let them choose for themselves, and then reveal the dates that the gifts correspond to later or tomorrow.

This method, on the one hand, can reflect the fate between two people, and on the other hand, it can also test the tacit understanding between both parties.

After all, the gifts are prepared by the male guests themselves. They can prepare them according to their own preferences and let the girls who want to date him judge the target based on the gifts. They can also send gifts to a certain girl they want to date to increase the probability of the girl choosing this gift.

The first three gifts look normal, but this bag of nuts, when placed together with the other gifts, seems out of place. It looks like the style of Xia Ceming's conspicuous bag.

The staff smiled and did not answer her question. "Just choose first, and you will know after you choose."

Zhong Siqiu chose the sunglasses first. Shen Yan only glanced at the gifts when the staff brought them over. He didn't seem to be in a good mood and didn't come over to choose a gift. Li Yingmeng hesitated among several gifts, probably guessing which one might be from Xie Chenxiao.

Shen You didn't hesitate too much and picked up the bag of nuts. "Then I'll choose this one."

Tomorrow she will have to use this bag of nuts to make fun of Xia Ceming.

Li Yingmeng looked up at the nuts in her hand, then looked at the sunglasses in Zhong Siqiu's hand. After thinking for a moment, she decisively stood up and walked downstairs.

Originally, she planned to ask Xie Chenxiao directly, but soon thought of his cold attitude towards her, so she decided to use the process of elimination and went to find the other three people first.

Xia Ceming was playing games in his room with his game console. Hearing this, he was surprised and said, "Ah? Can we tell you this directly? If we tell you, what's the difference between that and helping you cheat?" (End of this chapter)
