A Male Beauty Who Brings Disaster

"I remember your show pulled in quite a lot of sponsorship, didn't it?" Qi Si looked dazed, unable to understand why he had insisted on paying to appear on such a lousy show.

Had he come here to suffer?

And he was fucking paying to suffer!

"Exactly! With so many sugar daddies, can't you even arrange a decent place for us to stay?" Xu Zhening looked utterly distraught at the accommodations before them.

The others didn't look much happier.

Zhou Linzhe in particular practically had the words "pissed off" written across his face.

Xiang Qianchong looked at the guests with an expression that left no room for negotiation. "That's the arrangement. You can choose not to stay here, of course—if you can find somewhere else to stay around here."

Everyone's eyelids twitched.

Since Xiang Qianchong dared say that, he was clearly certain they wouldn't be able to find anywhere else.

Or, more precisely, they wouldn't find anywhere better than what the production crew had arranged.

Yang Yi sighed. "Forget it. We're already here, so let's treat it as a life experience. What do you all think?"

The others didn't want to say anything. They just wanted to go home.

But like Yang Yi said, they were already here. What else could they do?

["We're already here," my ass. 😂]

[Hahahahaha, I'm dying!]

[The four invincible excuses. 🙈]

[We're already here, it's the New Year, they're just kids, and the person's already dead. 🐶]

Just as Yang Yi said, they were already here. No matter how unhappy they were, they could only grit their teeth and go along with it.

Qi Si looked at the others. None of them seemed inclined to step forward and claim this place.

They were probably waiting to see whether the next place would be better.

"Director, do we have to decide right away? Can't we look at all the places before choosing?" Qi Si asked.

Xiang Qianchong shook his head. "Nope. You have to decide immediately."

"But what if the next place is better than this one?" Xu Zhening asked.

"Then that depends on your luck. This might be the best accommodation, or it might be the worst. Only after you make a choice can we move on to the next place," Xiang Qianchong said.

The moment the viewers in the livestream heard the rules, the chat exploded.

[Ohhh! The director is stirring things up!]

[This is so exciting! Isn't it like opening blind boxes? You never know whether the next one will be better or worse.]

[Doesn't it feel a lot like life? You never know whether the decision you make now is better than what comes later. Some people don't dare gamble and choose the safer option, while others are ambitious but lose everything with one misstep.]

[Whoa! Why did this suddenly get so profound?]

[Hurry up! I just want to see who's the unluckiest. rubs hands]

The fans all hoped their favorite wouldn't end up choosing the worst house, but with this blind-box style of selection, nobody knew whether they would be the one with the worst luck.

"Have you decided? Who's choosing this house?" Xiang Qianchong waited for a while, and when no one stepped forward, he urged them.

"You'd better hurry. If you're late, there won't be any lunch."

The moment he heard there would be no food, Qi Si immediately perked up.

He couldn't go hungry!

"None of you want this place? Then I'll take it. No objections, right?" Qi Si asked everyone.

The others exchanged looks. Xu Zhening and Jiang Han shook their heads, indicating they had no objections.

They didn't want to be the first to take the risk.

Yang Yi shook her head as well. "No objections from me."

Naturally, Shen Shuyu had no objections either.

Seeing that everyone else had no objections, Lin Weiwei obviously couldn't jump out and oppose it, but she wasn't about to do nothing.

She looked at Zhou Linzhe and said with concern, "I don't have any objections, but Young Master Qi, you'll be staying with Second Young Master Zhou. Shouldn't you ask for his opinion?"

Zhou Linzhe looked at Lin Weiwei in surprise, as though he hadn't expected her to mention him.

The next moment, he felt deeply moved.

When no one else had considered him, only Lin Weiwei cared about how he felt.

Qi Si gave Lin Weiwei an indifferent glance. "Wasn't I just about to ask him? Besides, if Zhou Linzhe doesn't agree, will you and Shen Shuyu stay here instead?"

Lin Weiwei's expression stiffened, resentment rising in her heart.

What was wrong with this Qi Si? Why did he keep snapping at her?

Was it just because she didn't like him? This man was way too petty, wasn't he?

"Young Master Qi, I was only asking. Why are you so hostile toward me?" Lin Weiwei looked at Qi Si with a wounded expression.

Qi Si looked at her speechlessly. "Answer my question first. If Zhou Linzhe doesn't want to stay here, will you two stay?"

Lin Weiwei choked. With him staring at her like that, she could only bite the bullet and answer, "Of course we can."

Qi Si sneered. "Really? You made that decision all by yourself? Why didn't you ask whether your roommate was willing?"

Lin Weiwei's face went pale, and she instinctively looked at Shen Shuyu. "I..."

Shen Shuyu gave her an expressionless glance.

The next second, she said with a smile that didn't reach her eyes, "Naturally, I can't compare to Miss Lin. Whatever Miss Lin says goes."

The moment Shen Shuyu said that, Lin Weiwei immediately looked as though she were on the verge of tears, as if she had suffered some enormous grievance.

Shen Shuyu couldn't be bothered to act with her and turned her head away.

But as soon as she did, she met Zhou Linzhe's displeased gaze, his eyes filled with reproach for her.

Shen Shuyu froze, and a suffocating pain welled up in her chest.

She looked away, refusing to look at Zhou Linzhe.

She and Zhou Linzhe had grown up together. Back then, Zhou Linzhe had always protected her so fiercely.

But now, Zhou Linzhe was looking at her like that because of Lin Weiwei.

Shen Shuyu's nose stung, and she nearly failed to hold back her tears in front of the cameras.

Qi Si looked at Lin Weiwei's performance speechlessly. "Don't cry. Anyone who doesn't know better will think I bullied you. I didn't even do anything to you."

"Qi Si, that's enough. Why do you keep targeting a girl?" Zhou Linzhe finally couldn't hold back any longer and spoke up to defend Lin Weiwei against Qi Si.

Qi Si looked at Zhou Linzhe. "Are you okay? If it weren't for you, would I even be talking to her? Cut the nonsense. Are you staying or not? If not, Lin Weiwei and the others can stay here!"

Zhou Linzhe hadn't expected Qi Si to react like that and was left speechless.

He took a deep breath. "I'm staying."

Under the circumstances, it was even more impossible for him to say no.

Qi Si rolled his eyes at Zhou Linzhe and muttered, "Wouldn't it have been over if you'd just said so earlier? What a male beauty who brings disaster."

"Pfft!" Yang Yi, standing nearby, couldn't hold back her laughter when she heard Qi Si.

Xu Zhening and Jiang Han wanted to laugh too, but they didn't dare be as blatant as Yang Yi.

Yang Yi had backing and wasn't afraid of Zhou Linzhe holding a grudge. They were!

The livestream viewers, on the other hand, were far more uninhibited.

[Hahahaha! Young Master Qi, how dare you?! 😂]

[Good lord! Only Qi Si would dare say something like that right in front of Zhou Linzhe. If it were anyone else, they'd already be dead. 🙈]

[It's ridiculous, but I think Qi Si actually makes a lot of sense, hhhhh.]

[Why do I feel like Second Young Master Zhou might be interested in Lin Weiwei???]

After Qi Si and Zhou Linzhe settled on their accommodations, the others continued on to the next place.

Qi Si wasn't curious about where the others would be staying. He only wanted to eat, so he didn't follow them.

Because Zhou Linzhe was worried about Lin Weiwei, he followed after putting down his luggage.
