It will rain on Flower Island today.
Just as dawn was breaking, a torrential downpour began, enveloping the entire Flower Island in a misty rain.
The production team's original plan was to take the guests to the beach pool to complete tasks today, but due to the heavy rain, the entire production team was trapped in the villa and had no way to go out.
"Buzzing—"
My phone suddenly vibrated twice; it was a group notification from the villa's property manager on WeChat.
Villa Manager: @Everyone, it's raining on Flower Island today, so it's really not advisable to go out. The original mission plan of the program cannot be implemented and is currently being temporarily revised. Friends, please enjoy yourselves for now and wait for the next notice from the program team.
"I probably won't be able to go out today," Zhu Jinzhao said softly, looking out the window at the heavy rain.
The room door was not closed, and Shi Jing walked in from outside when he heard her speaking.
"With the rain so heavy, we definitely can't go out. I bet the production team is discussing how to keep us indoors for the tasks."
"Hmm..." Zhu Jinzhao nodded, "This villa is so big, it might be a bit difficult to do missions, but it should be good for playing games."
"Play games?" Shi Jing frowned slightly, thinking seriously about Zhu Jinzhao's guess. "Hey? You know what, the production team might actually let us play games in the villa."
"Go ahead and do it." Whether it's a task or a game, it doesn't really make a difference to Zhu Jinzhao. It's all just for fun, as long as he can finish recording the show and earn money.
"Today." Before the live broadcast started, Shi Jing stepped forward and said what he had been thinking about all night.
"I think we should change our attitude towards Su Ying."
"How do we change it?" Zhu Jinzhao turned around upon hearing this, leaned against the glass door of the balcony, and looked up at Shi Jing.
Shi Jing, with his hands in his pockets, still had that arrogant and cocky look on his face: "Su Ying is obviously the kind of person who won't shed a tear until she sees the coffin. We're not going to scare her by slowly boiling her like a frog in lukewarm water."
"So I think we need to be more radical in how we treat her."
"Radical?" Zhu Jinzhao didn't quite understand the meaning of this word, so he simply asked, "What do you want to do?"
Shi Jing raised an eyebrow and sneered, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Zhu Jinzhao was the complete opposite—gentle: "There's so much I want to do, too much to say. From now on, just follow my lead."
"Don't be afraid, don't worry, I will bear all the insults and condemnations alone."
"...Shi Jing." Zhu Jinzhao, who was always slow to react, finally realized at this moment that Shi Jing was unusually kind to her.
She opened her big, round, bright eyes and blinked blankly at Shi Jing, feeling inexplicably uneasy.
Why are you so good to me?
"If I want to be good to you, I will be good to you." Shi Jing raised his hand and touched Zhu Jinzhao's round head. The tenderness in his eyes was like a calm and warm lake. As long as Zhu Jinzhao stepped into it, she would be 100% seduced and drowned in it.
"You're so easy to bully, what would you do if I didn't treat you well? Do you really expect your 'older sister' to protect you?"
"..." Zhu Jinzhao pursed her lips pitifully, too moved to utter a single word.
"It's okay to be touched, but please don't cry." Shi Jing saw the tears welling up in her eyes and panicked. He quickly said, "Although I've never seen you cry, I feel like I wouldn't know what to do if you cried. So please don't cry, and don't make me panic."
"Okay!" Zhu Jinzhao nodded obediently, trying hard to hold back the tears in her eyes. "I won't cry, at least not in front of you."
"Tsk, that's not what I meant." Shi Jing moved his hand down, his strong, thin fingers carefully wiping away the wetness from the corner of Zhu Jinzhao's eyes. "I didn't tell you not to cry in front of me. I meant you should be good and try not to cry if you can avoid it."
Zhu Jinchao frowned: "But what if I can't hold it in?"
Shi Jing: "If you can't hold it in, then don't. If you really want to cry, then I'd rather you cry in front of me, so at least I can be there for you."
"Thank you." Unable to express her feelings, Zhu Jinzhao could only awkwardly and monotonously utter these two words to Shi Jing.
Shi Jing smiled at her: "No need to thank me. From now on, you don't need to thank me in front of me."
"Buzzing—"
Just as Zhu Jinzhao was about to speak, a new group notification from the villa manager suddenly popped up in the WeChat group.
Shi Jing unlocked her phone and stood next to Zhu Jinzhao to watch it with her.
Villa Butler: @Everyone, new tasks have been issued. Please check them quickly.
"A new task has arrived." Zhu Jinzhao took out his phone from his trouser pocket and received a text message from the production team as soon as he unlocked it.
—It's raining today, so it's not a good day to go out. Let's all meet downstairs and play games!
"Hey, you were right, today's task really is to play games." Shi Jing put away his phone, looking at Zhu Jinzhao with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"I was just guessing." Zhu Jinzhao lowered her head, revealing a very shallow dimple on her fair profile.
Shi Jing found the dimples cute and couldn't resist poking them with her finger.
"Knock knock knock—"
Just then, there was a knock on the suite door from the outside, followed by the voice of the accompanying assistant, Xiao Li: "Is it convenient for you to come in?"
Shi Jing: "Come in."
The next second, the door opened, and Xiao Li and the cameraman walked into the room one after the other.
At this moment, Shi Jing's hand was still poking Zhu Jinzhao's face, idly tapping her dimples.
The fans who shipped the couple in the live stream immediately erupted in a sharp, explosive reaction.
[Ahhhhh! I've been saved! What did I just see? What did I just see?]
[Hahaha, I told you waking up early would bring good things! I'm staying up all night tonight!]
[Shi Jing! You're actually touching Jin Zhao's face! And you didn't even try to hide it when someone came in? What are you trying to do? Are you going to announce your marriage tomorrow?]
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the wedding of Miss Zhu Jinzhao and Mr. Shi Jing. Yes, they are getting married today and will have a baby tomorrow!
[“Jing Jin Takes the Exam” - I’m so sad! Who will spoil me like this after I leave you guys?! You even personally fed me the CP (couple) content!]
"The mission has been issued, you can go downstairs to assemble." Xiao Li's gossipy gaze darted back and forth between Zhu Jinzhao and Shi Jing, suppressing a laugh as he went through the formalities.
"Let's go." Zhu Jinzhao himself didn't seem to mind at all. Even though he was caught on camera during the live stream, he remained calm and composed.
Shi Jing followed behind her with his arms crossed like a bodyguard, his expression equally natural, showing no embarrassment at being caught being secretly intimate.
