Chapter 743 Haoyue Extra (5)
Gao Yingying tried to negotiate with the production team, asking if she could bring a yoga mat or an air pillow, but the director deftly deflected her with a simple, "As long as you're not overweight, you can bring whatever you want."
Little did she know, the netizens in the live chat were already laughing hysterically.
"Hahaha, did Sister Ying move her whole house here? This is the first time I've seen someone bring a yoga mat on a trip. Isn't it heavy?!"
"A yoga mat is nothing. Didn't you see the two large bottles of air freshener, three Stitch dolls, an aromatherapy lamp, and a foot bath tub in the suitcase? You could open a home goods store with that!"
"I can only say... she truly lives up to her reputation as Sister Ying."
Over the years in the entertainment industry, Gao Yingying hasn't filmed many dramas, but she always manages to go viral for her "good stuff sharing" vlogs, inexplicably earning her the title of "Queen of Product Recommendations".
So when people saw her carrying so much stuff, they didn't find it too strange; instead, they found it a bit funny.
Everyone was busy tidying up, but Wen Yue was taking pictures here and there with her phone, looking quite leisurely.
Zhao Pu, who was standing next to Wen Yue, asked curiously, "Sister Wen Yue, why aren't you picking out anything?"
Only after she said that did the others notice that Wen Yue really wasn't packing her things.
"Yes, Yueyue, where's your luggage?" Zhou Yang subconsciously looked around. "Did you leave it in the car?"
Wen Yue smiled and patted her bag: "It's all here."
"No way? You only brought a backpack?!" Zhou Yang exclaimed in disbelief.
Wen Yue nodded: "Didn't they tell us before we came that we should be self-reliant? We figured the production team would probably take us back after we arrived, so we didn't bring too much."
"I admire you, you have such foresight." Zhou Yang cupped his hands in greeting.
Song Huaiyuan also laughed and said, "I actually guessed that the production team wouldn't let us bring too much stuff in, but I didn't expect them to be so strict. If I had known, I would have just brought a bag. My suitcase is so heavy, how am I supposed to carry it here and back?"
Gao Yingying, who was packing her things with a look of utter despair, heard the commotion and immediately exclaimed in surprise, "You're a girl, and you only bring this little bit of stuff when you go out? You didn't know the rules beforehand, did you?!"
What was said unintentionally may have been taken to heart by the listener.
Tang Minghao had been badly burned by unscrupulous media too many times, so when he heard Gao Yingying say this, his "anti-fraud DNA" immediately kicked in.
The accusation of "knowing the rules of the show beforehand" might be dismissed as a joke at best, but if people take it seriously, it becomes "using connections" or "cheating," and if that gets discussed, who knows what kind of rumors will spread.
As it turns out, the live chat was already exploding at this point—
"I initially thought Wen Yue was quite clever, but what Sister Ying said is a bit confusing."
"Yeah, all the guests brought luggage, but she only brought so little. Could she have known something beforehand?"
"If everyone knew everything, what would be the point of playing?"
"Would the production team be so shameless as to treat us viewers like fools?"
Ever since he rescued Wen Yue from the hotel bathroom once before, Tang Minghao instinctively treated her as the weaker party when they were together. Although he didn't know what was going on with the comments, he still stepped forward subconsciously and said nonchalantly, "We came from the same company. If she really knew the rules beforehand, how could I not know? If I knew, would I have brought such a big suitcase? Stop making things up."
Tang Minghao's words immediately changed the tone of the comments section.
"Hao Hao spoke up for Wen Yue!"
"Speaking up for Wen Yue at this moment, our Hao Hao is truly handsome and kind-hearted!"
“That makes sense. He and Wen Yue are from the same company, and he’s a much bigger star than her. There’s no way he wouldn’t know what Wen Yue knows.”
"Alright, alright, this is just the beginning. Let's continue and see what happens next."
Gao Yingying regretted saying those words as soon as they came out.
She may be willful, but she's not stupid. She just blurted out her words without thinking.
But as much as she regretted it, seeing Tang Minghao step forward changed everything. She immediately pouted in dissatisfaction: "I was just saying it casually, I didn't take it seriously."
Seeing the atmosphere starting to soar, Zhou Yang immediately pulled Gao Yingying over: "Alright, are you done packing? There's still so much left. Are you going to make us all wait for you to finish our work?" As he spoke, Zhou Yang lifted her to her suitcase, rummaging through it while muttering, "You even brought this health-preserving kettle? Don't expect to be healthy here. Throw it away, throw it away. And this badminton racket, do you even have the energy to play badminton?! I don't understand you..."
"Hey, don't throw these away! This is my daily exercise routine, and I also need to use that health pot to make red date tea. I can't sleep without it, Zhou Yang!! Leave some for me...!!"
The viewers in the live chat were amused by the two clowns again, and soon no one questioned whether Wen Yue actually knew the rules.
Wen Yue knew that Tang Minghao was trying to help her out of a difficult situation. She hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Thank you."
Tang Minghao chuckled upon hearing this: "President An told me to keep an eye on you, so I'll definitely keep an eye on you. How about that, manly enough?"
Wen Yue's eyes, which had been shining brightly, dimmed slightly after he finished speaking.
Yes, he must have helped her because of President An's instructions. What else could it be?
She smiled and said, "Yes, you're really manly. I'm almost in love with you."
Tang Minghao, true to form, boasted, "My charm is just that irresistible."
Wen Yue smiled and didn't continue the conversation.
Seeing the interaction between the two, Song Huaiyuan, who was standing to the side, curled his lips slightly and looked amused.
The production team didn't interfere at all when the group handed over their luggage; in fact, they seemed quite pleased with it.
After all, they need topics to talk about.
The more topics there are, the higher the viewership will be.
Back then, they racked their brains to invite guests who would generate buzz.
Fortunately, the final result was not bad—Tang Minghao protected Wen Yue, Gao Yingying liked Tang Minghao, and Zhou Yang was able to cure Gao Yingying, a perfect closed loop!
They could all imagine how many topics this complex relationship would spark later on!
Look, it's just handing over luggage and collecting a phone, and the number of viewers watching the live stream has already exceeded 20,000!
The production crew cheerfully loaded everyone's phones and luggage into the car. The director then turned to them and explained, "We've arranged accommodation for you all, right at the east end of the village. Pack your things and head over now. Also, a friendly reminder: from now on, you'll be on your own for the next month. If necessary, use your lucky cards to ask us for help; we'll do our best to assist you!"
If people didn't know there would be further punishment, they might find it considerate.
At that moment, the director's words unsurprisingly earned him eye rolls from everyone.
The group, carrying backpacks, made their way to the house arranged by the production team.
When they got to the door, they were stunned after just one glance.
This "house" is quite large, with a yard and two bedrooms facing each other at the back. There's also a large stove outside the bedrooms, so you can cook. It's complete in every way, but it's just—too dilapidated!
