Chapter Sixty-Six: Heartwarming Everyday Life, A Surprise from the Production Team
As soon as the loudspeaker stopped, soft lights illuminated the exterior of the old, dilapidated villa, instantly brightening the gloomy space.
The guests and NPCs walked out of the villa together.
The female NPC on the second floor hugged the boss on the third floor as if he were a family member.
"Boss, I'm so sorry!" The female NPC, with tears streaming down her face, slid down to her knees and hugged her boss's leg.
"You've had it tough too," the NPC owner sighed, thinking about everything that had happened in those short 10 minutes.
Upon hearing this, a glint of anticipation flashed in the female NPC's eyes: "Then boss, my bonus..."
"You should go cool off somewhere else, I haven't received my bonus yet." The boss's sympathetic expression vanished instantly.
"No, boss!"
Xu Wang and the others watched this scene with great interest, while the cameraman, with keen insight, pointed the camera at the two ghosts pulling at each other.
[Haha, these two NPCs are kind of funny.]
[The prize money's gone, hahaha.]
[The way Mrs. Xu ate the melon was just like how I used to listen to the older women gossiping in the village.]
[We still need a handful of sunflower seeds.]
[We're still missing a small stool.]
[I'm still missing a floral cotton-padded jacket from someone else.]
[Headscarf/Headscarf.]
………………
After finishing the melon, the group returned to the beach to rest. As soon as they reached the beach, they suddenly discovered that the tents that had been set up on the beach had disappeared without a trace, as if they had never been set up at all.
"Where's my house?" Xia Yu hopped around on the beach where her tent was set up, but it was empty, without a trace. Could it be that she had just dreamt about her home last night? Impossible.
Xu Wang felt that something was wrong, and it was very wrong.
Just as everyone was wondering, a medium-sized yacht docked at the beach.
"Teachers, get on board!" the director shouted repeatedly from the yacht, holding a megaphone.
The director arranged for staff and relevant professionals to bring the guests to the ship.
"Director, are you really planning to take us away?" Gu Yunlan asked with a distrustful expression, not believing that the director would be so kind.
The director smiled and nodded: "Of course, I mean what I say. You can leave the island as soon as you find the key."
"Where do we go next?" Xu Wang calculated the time. This episode's recording would last all day tomorrow. The director couldn't possibly let us leave early, could he?
"Teacher Xu, that's a good question. All of you have had a long day. Our production team has prepared rooms for you to rest in. Please have a good night's rest, as a huge surprise awaits you tomorrow." The director left everyone in suspense.
"Is it that mysterious?" Xia Yu became even more curious, her heart itching with curiosity, eager to know the answer immediately.
"I can't say more, I can only say it's an absolute surprise." The director had a smug smile on his face, but if you looked closely, you could also see a hint of heartache mixed in with his smile.
Xu Wang and Pei Yanchuan entered the cabin and found the room with their nameplates on it.
The two gently opened the door, and a cozy and comfortable large bed was placed in the center of the room. Although the room was small, it had everything one needed.
Even their luggage was neatly arranged in front of the bed.
Xu Wang lay comfortably on the soft bed, sprawled out in a starfish shape.
Pei Yanchuan looked at Xu Wang lying on the bed and a smile appeared on his face.
Pei Yanchuan went into the bathroom and started filling the bathtub with hot water.
Hearing the sound of the showerhead, Xu Wang sat up and tiptoed to the frosted glass bathroom door, peeking out.
At this moment, Pei Yanchuan was wearing a charcoal gray shirt, with three buttons undone at the collar, vaguely revealing the lines of his muscles underneath.
Pei Yanchuan stood by the bathtub, his sleeves rolled up to the middle of his forearms. He held the showerhead in his right hand and kept testing the temperature with his left hand. Only after determining the optimal water temperature did he place it in the cleaned bathtub.
Looking at the scene before him, Xu Wang couldn't help but marvel once again at his own impeccable judgment.
The smug person in Xu Wang's mind laughed triumphantly.
"Have you seen enough? Why don't you come and take a shower? Do you want me to help you personally?" Pei Yanchuan's amused voice rang out in the empty bathroom.
"No need, no need, I can do it myself. Thank you, President Pei, for personally facilitating my water supply, mua." Xu Wang walked in wearing white disposable slippers.
Pei Yanchuan looked at the person in front of him, gently kissed Xu Wang's forehead, and then walked out.
Half an hour later, Xu Wang walked out of the bathroom with his hair still wet.
Pei Yanchuan had already prepared a hairdryer. When he saw Xu Wang come out, he waved to him, indicating that he should sit in front of him.
Xu Wang sat on the edge of the bed. Pei Yanchuan first used a dry towel to wipe the moisture off the surface of Xu Wang's hair, and then slowly dried it with a hairdryer.
Once everything was ready, Pei Yanchuan went back into the bathroom.
Xu Wang lay on the bed listening to the constant sound of the shower in the bathroom, his already steaming face turning slightly red.
Xu Wang covered his face and rolled around on the bed, finally managing to curl himself up into a ball and lie in the middle of the blanket.
When Pei Yanchuan came out of the bathroom while drying his hair, he saw a small bump on the bed.
After drying his hair, Pei Yanchuan quietly lifted the blanket and lay down next to Xu Wang.
"Goodnight," Pei Yanchuan said softly, stroking Xu Wang's soft hair.
After Pei Yanchuan finished speaking, he turned off the light switch with his right hand, and the room was instantly plunged into darkness.
In the darkness, the little drum moved and finally clung to Pei Yanchuan.
Goodnight, my love.
The next day, at seven o'clock in the morning, there was a knock on the door from the staff.
"Teacher Xu, Teacher Pei, it's time for breakfast."
Xu Wang burrowed his head into Pei Yanchuan's pajamas collar.
"I understand." Pei Yanchuan felt the warm breath against his chest, his voice slightly hoarse.
After receiving a response, the program crew members outside the room quickly left.
With everyone at the table present, the production team began today's live broadcast.
"Wow, Director, did you win the lottery?" Xia Yu looked at the fusion breakfast in front of her with disbelief written all over her face.
"Director, you're not thinking that because we're making too much money off you, you're planning to... uh!" Yunxi held up her right hand and gestured to her neck, then stuck out her tongue and tilted her head.
"Pah, pah, pah! Why are you getting more and more off-topic? Do you think I'm that kind of person?" The director was so angry at their words that he jumped up and down.
"Hahaha."
After a hearty breakfast, all the guests gathered on the deck.
The yacht had now reached the middle of the sea, surrounded by calm waters that brought a sense of tranquility to everyone present.
The director stood proudly at the front of the crowd, loudly announcing today's surprise.
"Today, the program team will lead all the teachers to participate in the entire whale chasing journey. The teachers can choose freely, either to dive and swim with the whales or to take pictures of the whales leaping out of the sea from the boat."
The director's words did not elicit the enthusiastic applause he had imagined; instead, everyone fell silent. The director felt that he could hear a pin drop.
The live stream paused for several seconds, as if it had frozen.
"Why aren't you all excited? Did I not explain it clearly?" The director scratched his head in confusion, then looked at the draft in his hand. There were no missing words.
"Director, are you sure you're taking us to see whales and not goldfish?" Xu Wang puffed out his cheeks, pretending to be a goldfish.
"Of course, how could there be goldfish in the ocean?" The director was even angrier at the disbelieving looks on everyone's faces. He was the director, after all, the boss of this production team besides the big sponsor.
[Haha, I declare that the director has taken over all the laughs for today.]
[The director has shot himself in the foot (laughs and cries at the same time). His sudden generosity is rather unusual.]
[The director today is kind of handsome! (P.S. He's also kind of rich!)]
[Chasing whales, just thinking about it is so romantic. I feel like today's live stream is going to be super sweet.]
[Xu's wife is so cute, I've taken a screenshot and used it as my wallpaper.]
