Chapter 080

The private plane flew in the sky for twelve hours and landed in an ice and snow city in the southern hemisphere.

The plane door slowly opened, and a cool breeze blew across my face. Before my eyes was a country covered in snow, all in white, so beautiful it was breathtaking.

Probably influenced by the date between Yan Xi and Cheng Xun, Director Yu had an idea to choose the last stop of "The Journey" in the Queen City of Country X. The plane crossed half of the earth, and the season changed from hot summer to snowy winter, making the pictures more impactful.

As soon as the guests landed, the barrage became lively——

[It’s snowing~ It’s a pity that Cheng Xun is not here, there is no sweet love]

[You are out of date, Cheng Xun and Yan Xi died a long time ago! ]

[This snow is so beautiful. It’s so hot here. It makes me want to go traveling.]

[The thief Director Yu can only follow the big lady's live broadcast now, just like traveling! ]

Zhou Qingyu and Yan Xi got off the plane. The car arranged by Pei Yubai was already parked at the airport. It was a snow off-road vehicle. The wheels had been modified and replaced with tires suitable for snow driving.

Zhou Qingyu frowned, "I don't like this type of car."

Off-road vehicles are too rough for Zhou Qingyu; she likes exquisite and luxurious cars.

Pei Yubai explained flatteringly, "The ground is slippery, and the extended Lincoln is not convenient in the snow, and this off-road vehicle will be easier to drive."

After hearing this, Zhou Qingyu reluctantly agreed.

The flight attendant helped put the luggage in the trunk of the SUV. Zhou Qingyu got into the back seat. Pei Yubai naturally followed and wanted to sit next to Zhou Qingyu.

Zhou Qingyu said rudely, "Why did you come up here? You stink of sweat all over, get out!"

Pei Yubai's smile froze. With the PD filming next to him, he was obviously embarrassed.

【You deserve it! 】

[The eldest lady actually forgave Pei Yubai and let him be a travel consultant. I think she is very kind! ]

[Of course, this kind of scumbag should just be thrown away! ]

[I feel disgusted when I see this scumbag]

Zhou Qingyu ignored Pei Yubai's livid face and turned to greet Yan Xi who was happily taking photos outside. "What are you doing standing there like an idiot? Come up. I'm freezing to death!"

Yan Xi was stunned for two seconds, then smiled and happily climbed onto the back seat of the SUV, "I thought you didn't want to sit with me!"

Zhou Qingyu raised her head proudly, "I just think you are cleaner than Pei Yu, and you don't have that much sweat odor on your body, don't think too much!"

Yan Xi smiled, "I know~"

In order to facilitate filming, the front passenger seat was reserved for the PD. Pei Yubai could only hail another taxi and follow behind Zhou Qingyu's off-road vehicle.

The road was wet, so the off-road speed was not fast to prevent slipping.

Half an hour later, the off-road vehicle arrived at the homestay booked by Director Yu.

It is called a homestay, but it is actually a hot spring resort hotel. The hotel area is very large, covering multiple villas, and each villa is equipped with a hot spring pool.

Zhou also owns a similar hot spring resort. Zhou Qingyu knew that this thing was worth a lot of money and couldn't help but sigh, "Director Yu spent a lot of money this time!"

Yan Xi's eyes rolled around and her gaze fell on the conspicuous logo of the villa.

"Do you think... this logo looks familiar?"

The logo is bilingual, one line is Maori and the other is English. Zhou Qingyu can't read Maori, but the English is easy to read.

"Royal hotel...Royal hotel? Isn't this my family's? My family also has a hotel in Queen City?"

Yan Xi: “…”

She glanced at Zhou Qingyu and asked, "You don't even know where Zhou's business is?"

Zhou Qingyu took it for granted, "Our business is so big, how can I know everything? Can you remember the names of all the artists' works in Xingyao?"

Yan Xi didn't even think about it, "I can do it."

Zhou Qingyu: "..."

She paused, "Shut up!"

Yan Xi: T^T

Hearing the noise outside, the door of the villa was pushed open, and the Samoyed, full of energy, jumped out happily and ran around Yan Xi and Zhou Qingyu.

Unlike the heat in Hancheng, the snowy weather is more suitable for sled dogs like Yaozu. With its furry body, it almost blends in with the snow. Wrapped in a cute dog coat, it smiles and looks particularly energetic.

Lu Beiyu poked his head out, "Sister Yan Xi, Miss! You are here~ Come in quickly!"

He invited the two to enter the villa and brought two glasses of hot red wine. "This is the specialty of Queen City. Red wine cooked with cinnamon and other spices can warm the body~"

Zhou Qingyu and Yan Xi held mugs and sipped red wine. The aroma of the wine filled the air and their bodies felt much warmer.

Lu Beiyu and Ye Luoyi were the first guests to arrive, Zhou Qingyu and Yan Xi were the second, and the last group were flying guests, and we don’t know who they are yet.

Lu Beiyu: "Sister Yiyi and Sister Lingling are cleaning up upstairs and will be down soon."

Zhou Qingyu drank mulled wine and asked him casually, "Have you found your second sister?"

Logically, the DNA of a related person has been detected, it's just that the blood sample was wrong. The hospital has relevant records, so it shouldn't be difficult to find the person.

Lu Beiyu looked disappointed, "No, that person just disappeared from the world, there is no trace at all."

Zhou Qingyu was startled and subconsciously looked at Yan Xi.

But Yan Xi was happily drinking red wine, as if she didn't hear the conversation between the two.

"Zhou Qingyu! Why are you here just now? You're so slow!" Su Lingling packed her luggage and came downstairs. When she saw Zhou Qingyu, she proudly put her hands on her hips and said, "We arrived an hour earlier than you!"

Zhou Qingyu sneered, "Tsk, what's there to brag about?"

But Su Lingling didn't care. As long as she could beat Zhou Qingyu, she was happy.

Ye Luoyi followed behind Su Lingling, her face as serene and beautiful as ever, and she lived up to her character of being as gentle as a chrysanthemum to the end.

She greeted them tenderly, "Qingyu, Yanxi, you are here too~"

The living room was filled with attractive young men and women, and the scene was quite beautiful, but Lu Beiyu always felt that there was a subtle current flowing in the living room, and he couldn't tell what it was.

——Until Pei Yubai pushed his luggage into the living room.

"Qingyu, which room are you staying in? I'll help you move your luggage up there."

In an instant, the atmosphere in the living room froze. The guests' expressions changed drastically. Su Lingling and Lu Beiyu opened their mouths in surprise, Pei Yubai's eyes were evasive, and a hint of coldness flashed in Ye Luoyi's eyes.

Even Yaozu felt the heavy atmosphere. He held the baseball in his little paws and whimpered timidly.

The bullet screen also rushed to a climax at this moment——

[What the hell! What kind of top-level Shura field is this? ]

[Fight, fight, fight! I love watching Shura Field! 】

[I think the Bai Yi couple is real. The way Pei Yubai and Ye Luoyi look at each other is so touching! Even TV dramas don’t show such deep affection! ]

[The mistress is a match for the dog, please wake up, Miss! Pei Yubai is not worth it! ]

Zhou Qingyu leaned on the sofa and took a sip of red wine leisurely.

Although she was also in the Shura Field, she was not affected by the awkward atmosphere and looked at Ye Luoyi and Pei Yubai quite leisurely.

Pei Yubai's throat rolled. In the cold winter, beads of sweat slid down his neck and into his collar. He deliberately ignored Ye Luoyi and turned to look at Zhou Qingyu, "Qingyu, which room are you and Yan Xi in? I'll help you move your luggage up."

Zhou Qingyu chuckled, "No hurry, seeing an old acquaintance, why don't you say hello first?"

Pei Yubai's breathing stagnated, and the words of explanation came out of his mouth, "Didn't I already tell you that Ye Luoyi and I are just hyping up a couple..."

"I know!" Zhou Qingyu interrupted him impatiently, "But isn't Ye Luoyi an artist from your company? There's no need to be so cautious, right?"

[It's so funny, Pei Yubai is too obvious! ]

[Yes, at least they are the boss and the artist. If it was just a CP hype, why would they not even dare to look at Ye Luoyi? ]

[Pei Yubai's attitude shows how guilty he is! ]

[But why do I feel that Pei Yubai not only feels guilty towards the eldest lady, but also towards Ye Luoyi? ]

Pei Yubai was indeed feeling guilty.

Theoretically, the four groups of guests on "Travel" have almost no interactions except living together and playing their own games. If he hadn't taken this into consideration, he wouldn't have dared to chase Zhou Qingyu onto the show to win her back.

Pei Yubai originally wanted to be careful and avoid being in the same frame with Ye Luoyi. But he never expected that when he arrived at the B&B, he would see such a shocking scene!

Pei Yubai doesn't want to make Ye Luoyi sad anymore, but it is also important to stabilize Zhou Qingyu...

"Now that I have a girlfriend, of course I have to avoid suspicion, even with my subordinates."

Ye Luoyi took the initiative to help Pei Yubai out and sat next to Zhou Qingyu without any grudges. "Qingyu, the Second Young Master did this just because he was afraid that you would misunderstand! He really cares about you!"

Everyone looked at Ye Luoyi, their eyes getting bigger and bigger.

Ye Luoyi...you're too calm!

Especially Su Lingling, she couldn't understand it.

Pei Yubai was the first to react, following Ye Luoyi's words and saying, "Yes Qingyu, I just care about you too much! There's nothing between Luoyi and me!"

Zhou Qingyu ignored Pei Yubai. Pei Yubai's acting skills were too poor and not good enough for her. Zhou Qingyu looked at Ye Luoyi with a playful look in her eyes.

Ye Luoyi's smile was gentle, and her expression was flawless. There was a sense of relaxation in her gentleness, and a bit of tranquility in her relaxation.

There is absolutely no sign of sadness or resentment.

Even the system gave a thumbs up: [Ye Luoyi is awesome! With such acting skills, it would be a shame if she didn't pursue an Oscar! ]

Yan Xi believed it deeply, "After all, she is the heroine."

Zhou Qingyu asked, "Ye Luoyi, are you not angry?"

There was red wine in the small induction cooker on the table. Ye Luoyi picked up a few sticks of cinnamon and threw them into the hot red wine. "Why should I be angry? It's just a temporary thing, not real."

Ye Luoyi's fans were instantly shocked:

[I told you long ago that our Yiyi is not a mistress! ]

[Yes, even if he is a scumbag, it is Pei Yubai who is the scumbag, and Yiyi is innocent. ]

[What's wrong with Yiyi? She was just following her boss's request to hype up the couple! ]

Ye Luoyi looked at Zhou Qingyu calmly, "Qingyu, I am sincere. Anyway, let's be frank. Second Master Pei and I are just friends! But you two are a perfect match! I wish you a long and happy marriage~"

The original Shura scene disappeared in Ye Luoyi's gentle voice.

No matter if she was pretending or acting, Ye Luoyi's performance made many viewers in the live broadcast room dispel the idea that she was a mistress.

Only Su Lingling, as the only person who knew the truth, turned off the Little Bee and moved closer to Ye Luoyi when everyone changed the subject and exchanged greetings.

"Yiyi, are you okay?"

Ye Luoyi also locked up the little bee and cooked red wine indifferently, "I'm fine."

…

It was already dark. The plane had flown for twelve hours, and the Imperial City was five hours ahead of China. It was already two o'clock in the morning.

The guests were still gathered in the living room, mainly waiting for the flying guests.

Director Yu was in a good mood. He was looking at the data backstage. Although the Shura scene in the living room did not come up, the popularity of the program had indeed increased significantly.

As for the flying guests, Director Yu believes that they will definitely make this program more interesting.

In the living room, Director Yu introduced the three groups of guests, "We have broadcast this program live for two episodes now. We currently have a group of best friends, a group of couples, a group of unmarried couples, and hey, there is also a group of human and dog!"

"This time, we have a brand new 'father and son' combination!"

Zhou Qingyu raised an eyebrow, "Father and son? So, either the old one or the young one? Are there any famous father and son pairs in the entertainment industry?"

Yan Xi thought for a moment, "...the ones who participated in Where Are We Going, Dad?"

Zhou Qingyu was not interested. "Then we need a younger one. I hate children. They are so annoying."

"You won't play with us anyway." Yan Xi comforted her.

As they were talking, the last group of guests arrived.

The two young men were wearing black and white combat jackets. They were almost the same height, about 1.88 meters tall. They brought a certain sense of oppression to the living room as soon as they appeared.

Yan Xi sat on the sofa, tilting her head high so that she could see the two people's faces clearly.

She was silent.

Zhou Qingyu also fell silent.

No one else said anything. In the living room, Yan Xi heard the sound of Pei Yubai gritting his teeth.

"So..." Zhou Qingyu pointed at Pei Hanli, who was wearing a white sprint jacket, and Zhou Yanci, who was wearing a black sprint jacket, and said, "Who is the father and who is the son? Before you replace other father-son combinations, can you please change the name of your combination first?"

Pei Hanli smiled, "There is no replacement, Miss. I was originally supposed to be the guest of honor for this episode. The program crew said they found an intern son for me. I didn't expect..." He glanced at Zhou Yanci, "This son is so big!"

Zhou Yanci also glanced at Pei Hanli, "When the program team invited me, they also said they would find me an intern who was a rebellious son. It turns out that person is you."

Pei Hanli: “…”

"How could you give birth to a child as big as me?"

"How could you give birth to a child as big as me?"

"I can try."

"Get lost!"

Director Yu was very satisfied with this and said complacently, "See! Isn't the relationship between men just the relationship of 'I want to be your father'? The father-son combination is just right!"

Everyone: “…”

——

After the meeting, the guests returned to their rooms.

On the way, Zhou Qingyu and Zhou Yanci briefly walked side by side. Zhou Qingyu had a cold face and lowered her voice, "Zhou Yanci, you even came to the show just to chase Yan Xi! Aren't you the king of rolls? The company doesn't care?"

"I'm here to inspect the hotel business in Country X and attend the show," Zhou Yanci said calmly, "Thanks to someone, I don't have to worry about Meng's business now. I'm very free. But you have to film movies, record variety shows, and be the chairman of Meng's. Can you handle it?"

"None of your business!"

Zhou Qingyu held Yan Xi's hand tightly and went back to the room.

After washing up, Yan Xi went to the kitchen to heat milk as usual.

She has now developed the same habit as Zhou Qingyu, drinking a glass of sweetened milk before going to bed to help her sleep.

In the kitchen, Yan Xi met Zhou Yanci.

She was startled and pulled Zhou Yanci to hide behind the refrigerator to avoid surveillance in the kitchen.

"Why are you here?"

Zhou Yanci leaned against the refrigerator idly, playing with Yan Xi's small hand with his fingers, "I was a little worried about Pei Hanli coming, so I teamed up with him."

Yan Xi suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Pei Yubai only got the position of travel consultant. It turned out that the position of flying guest had already been taken by Pei Hanli.

He is a big villain after all, so we still have to be careful!

But they didn't travel with Pei Hanli, so they shouldn't have much contact, so it's not a big problem!

The key is Zhou Yanci!

Before, Zhou Qingyu couldn't notice it because they were halfway across the world, but now Zhou Yanci was right beside her, and it was hard to hide their relationship. If Zhou Qingyu knew that they were together, she would probably be even angrier at her!

Yan Xi looked at Zhou Yanci and hesitated for two seconds, "Zhou Yanci, how about we not be together for now?"

Zhou Yanci paused, his eyes turned cold, "Yan Xi, do you think I'm easy to talk to?"

Yan Xi blinked and nodded.

Zhou Yanci was speechless. He had seen scumbag men before, but this was the first time he had seen such a scumbag woman. The key point was that she did this for his sister.

Zhou Yanci asked, "Tell me the truth, if Zhou Qingyu and I fell into the water, who would you save?"

Yan Xi:?

What kind of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problem is this? Aren't these questions usually asked to men?

Yan Xi said rationally, "With her light weight, I can still drag her to the river bank. With your weight, I can only drag you to see King Yan..."

Zhou Yanci was so angry that he laughed, "You can't even say a few words I like to hear in front of me. Are you so biased?"

Yan Xi shrank her neck and said, "No normal person would ask who to save when my sister and I fell into the water..."

Zhou Yanci was helpless.

In fact, he had long felt that the kiss outside the home theater that night might have been due to Yan Xi's emotions, or it might have been due to the ambiguous atmosphere, and in the end it was just a human physiological impulse.

Even as early as when he was in Yunbai Mountain, he should have understood that Yan Xi only had a good impression of him, not love for him.

It was he who forcibly upgraded their relationship to a sexual one. Whether it was a brief encounter at a charity auction or a deep kiss in the back of the nanny car, he used intimate physical contact to accelerate their relationship and blur the line between liking and affection.

But it was obvious that Yan Xi was just flirting with him for a while.

This simple throbbing comes quickly and goes away quickly.

Zhou Yanci was reluctant to leave, as he was afraid that this good impression would soon disappear, so he hurried to the Imperial City.

But Yan Xi's feelings for him seemed to be weaker than he thought. She could even say something like breaking up without any worries. She was not worried at all about what would happen if the two of them didn't get along after saying this.

Zhou Yanci held Yan Xi's hand tightly and felt a dull pain in his heart.

"No." Zhou Yanci said.

Yan Xi was stunned, "Why not?"

"Breaking up is impossible."

Zhou Yanci leaned forward and buried his head in Yan Xi's neck. "But I promise you, I won't touch you in front of Zhou Qingyu."

Zhou Yanci's head rested against Yan Xi's neck. Yan Xi clearly felt itchy, but she didn't push him away.

Holding back the itch, Yan Xi changed the subject, "Coming to such a cold place, is your ankle okay?"

Zhou Yanci smiled, happy from the bottom of his heart.

"Now you care about me?"

Yan Xi squatted down and checked the wound on his ankle.

Zhou Yanci deliberately teased Qiao, "Didn't you say you didn't want to be with me anymore? Then what are you looking at?"

Yan Xi shrugged, "Then I won't watch it."

She turned around to leave, and the next moment, Zhou Yanci hugged Yan Xi tightly.

He hugged her tightly every time, wrapping Yan Xi's small body into his own. It seemed that as long as he hugged her tightly enough, the person in his arms would never leave.

Yan Xi was overwhelmed by this sudden hug, her face flushed, and her heart began to beat uncontrollably.

She tried to escape from Zhou Yanci's embrace, "People will see me..."

Zhou Yanci: "I locked the door of Whisper's room when I went downstairs, so she couldn't get out."

Yan Xi:?

What kind of divine unfolding is this?!

At the same time, there was a "bang bang bang" sound of banging on the door from upstairs, and Zhou Qingyu's voice echoed throughout the villa -

"Who is it? Close my door!"

Yan Xi quickly pushed Zhou Yanci away, "This is all your fault!"

She glared at Zhou Yanci fiercely, picked up two glasses of milk, trotted upstairs, and opened the door for Zhou Qingyu.

Zhou Yanci was the only one left in the kitchen.

There was still Yan Xi's body temperature remaining on his body, which seemed particularly warm in the cold winter with wind and snow.

——

After resting in the kitchen for a while, Zhou Yanci poured himself a glass of water, drank it and went back to his room.

Turning around, I saw Ye Luoyi at the door.

Ye Luoyi was wearing a thin suspender and only a thick cloak on the outside.

Ye Luoyi looked up at Zhou Yanci and lowered her voice, "Sorry, Mr. Zhou, I just happened to go downstairs to drink some water. I didn't mean to spy on you and Yan Xi."

Zhou Yanci looked down at him with a cold gaze, "Don't tell anyone."

Ye Luoyi nodded.

As early as the charity auction, Ye Luoyi saw the clues. Many people said that Zhou Yanci was competing with Zhou Qingyu for the brooch. The two siblings in the Zhou family were not on good terms and were always at odds with each other. But only Ye Luoyi noticed that the brooch they were competing for was donated by Yan Xi.

Girls are always very sensitive in this regard.

And today in the kitchen, Ye Luoyi further confirmed the relationship between the two.

Ye Luoyi likes to keep men hanging and get resources from them, but she will not take action against men who already have a partner, let alone be a mistress. This is her principle and bottom line. After confirming the relationship between Zhou Yanci and Yan Xi, she kicked Zhou Yanci off her list.

Zhou Yanci left, and Ye Luoyi looked at his back.

It was very strange, maybe because Zhou Yanci was the white moonlight of her youth, Ye Luoyi always felt that Zhou Yanci was different from others, but when she saw him hugging Yan Xi, Ye Luoyi did not feel sad, just felt a little sour.

But when Ye Luoyi saw Pei Yubai confessing his love to Zhou Qingyu, her heart ached.

She thought that the person who was difficult to let go was able to let go easily; but the person who she thought she held firmly in her hands was the one who hurt her the most.

Things like feelings are really complicated.

Ye Luoyi sighed helplessly.

——

The next day, it was time for the live show again.

Because we slept too late last night, although the recording time was at 8 o'clock in the morning, most of the guests slept in and did not get up until after 10 o'clock.

Zhou Qingyu was sleepy and put on a facial mask after getting up.

Usually at this time, the travel consultant would prepare breakfast for her, which might be a local specialty or a healthy salad.

But today, it was Pei Yubai's turn to prepare, and what he prepared was a buffet from the hotel restaurant. These meals looked good to others, but not exquisite enough for Zhou Qingyu.

Zhou Qingyu was in a bad mood and scolded Pei Yubai, "Don't you know how to hire a chef? What are you cooking? Is it something that pigs eat?"

The other guests who were enjoying the breakfast buffet were saying: "..."

Pei Yubai was embarrassed to be scolded early in the morning, "I'll go get the chef later."

Zhou Qingyu threw down the bagel, completely uninterested, and drank a cup of black coffee to relieve her edema.

Director Yu said that he had something to announce this morning, probably about this episode's program activities.

The first stop was in Country F, where the guests had a meal together and cooked hot pot. The second stop was in Country H, where the guests could earn money on their own. In short, they were very simple activities. As for Country X, the guests instinctively felt that it would not be too complicated.

At half past ten, Director Yu appeared.

When he saw the guests, his eyes lost some of their former shrewdness, especially when he saw Zhou Yanci and Pei Hanli, his neck shrank and his voice became flattering.

"The guests are all here! It's just right for me to announce this episode's program activities!"

"As you know, the purpose of our program is to travel, so the program activities are not too complicated. Today's activities are the same. The program team has already booked a ski resort, so the program activities for this stop are - all guests successfully learn to ski and pass the designated track!"

Guests discussed:

“Skiing is not that difficult.”

"But I can't!"

"It's okay, I can teach you, it's very simple~"

"Originally, skiing was also on our itinerary!"

Even the live broadcast barrage seemed to make this event seem non-existent. If you traveled halfway around the world to come to Queen City, what else would you do if not to ski? Are you going to stare at the snow all over the sky?

The program activity proposed by the program team is really boring!

Director Yu saw that everyone had almost reached an agreement on the activity and that everyone was willing to accept it. He then coughed and said, "Well, skiing is just one of the activities on the show."

"Before that, there is one more specified condition."

Everyone looked at Director Yu.

Director Yu: "The specified condition is... exchanging partners! All guests must change travel partners before participating in the skiing project!"
