"This household has four people, more than the previous two families, but their living conditions are much better too. Discuss it among yourselves and decide who will stay here," Xiang Qianchong's voice rang out.

The three female guests looked at one another.

Shen Shuyu could not be bothered to watch Lin Weiwei's reaction. She looked at Yang Yi and said, "Sister Yang, why don't you stay here?"

Before Yang Yi could speak, Lin Weiwei's soft voice sounded. "But Best Actress Yang is afraid of noise. With so many people in this family, wouldn't she be uncomfortable?"

Lin Weiwei's words caught both Shen Shuyu and Yang Yi off guard. Neither had expected her to say something like that now.

It sounded as though she was considering Yang Yi's needs, but she was actually subtly expressing that she wanted to stay here herself.

Shen Shuyu immediately frowned and was about to speak when Yang Yi quietly tugged her back.

Smiling at Lin Weiwei, she said, "Weiwei has a point. Then I won't compete with you for it. You two can have this place; I'll go take a look at the next one."

Shen Shuyu stared blankly at Yang Yi, unable to understand her choice.

Lin Weiwei was already smiling as she said, "In that case, we'll gladly accept."

Yang Yi gave Lin Weiwei a deep look, then merely smiled without saying anything.

She turned and followed the director to the last household.

In the livestream, Yang Yi's fans were already somewhat unhappy.

[What does this mean? She saw that this place was nice and wanted it for herself? How does she know the next place will be better?]

[Shen Shuyu already said Sister Yang could stay here, so why did Lin Weiwei have to butt in?]

[The house isn't Shen Shuyu's alone. What right does she have to decide by herself? Besides, our Weiwei was thinking about Best Actress Yang too, afraid she'd be disturbed by the noise. Is that wrong?]

[This is hilarious! Has Lin Weiwei lived inside already? How does she know this family will definitely be noisy? If she wants the place with better conditions, she should just say so. Why pretend to be a good person?]

Yang Yi's fans were famously laid-back and generally did not get into arguments with other fandoms.

Yet this time, they had started fighting with Lin Weiwei's fans, which was quite a rare sight for everyone else.

Naturally, Yang Yi knew nothing about this. After seeing Lin Weiwei choose her accommodation, Zhou Linzhe returned to his own place. Only Yang Yi remained, following behind the director toward the final residence.

Yang Yi was very calm, as though she did not care where she stayed.

After following Xiang Qianchong forward for a short distance, she heard someone call out behind her.

"Sister Yang! Wait for me!"

Yang Yi turned around and looked in surprise at Shen Shuyu, who had chased after her.

"Why are you here? Aren't you going to eat?"

Shen Shuyu shook her head. "It's fine. I can go back and eat later. I'll go with you, Sister Yang, and familiarize myself with the route too, so I don't end up unable to find you."

Yang Yi did not expose Shen Shuyu's real intention. She smiled and nodded. "All right, let's go."

The four residences were not too far apart, only about a five-minute walk away.

But when everyone saw the final residence, they all fell silent.

Shen Shuyu's face darkened as she looked at the director. "Guide Xiang, are you sure it's here?"

Xiang Qianchong nodded without the slightest burden of conscience. "That's right. This is it."

"How can anyone live here?"

Looking at the thatched hut before her, Shen Shuyu felt deeply guilty. She could not help feeling that Yang Yi had to live in such a place because of her.

Yang Yi, however, quickly accepted the outcome.

"It's not too bad. At least it's livable."

The conditions in this house were genuinely terrible. It was small and dilapidated.

The roof was even thatched, making people worry just looking at it. If there were a heavy rainstorm, could this place really keep the rain out?

Yang Yi's fans in the livestream immediately exploded.

[Holy shit! Can people live in a place like this? Has Xiang Qianchong lost his mind?]

[Wait, they're making the guests stay here? Can their safety even be guaranteed?]

[Aaaaaah! I'm furious! It's all that bitch Lin Weiwei's fault! If not for her, why would my goddess have to stay here?!]

[Aren't you being way too hypocritical? If Best Actress Yang isn't staying here, then Lin Weiwei and Shen Shuyu would be. What, Best Actress Yang can't live here, but Lin Weiwei and Shen Shuyu can?]

[She chose it herself. Yang Yi could have refused, couldn't she? She agreed to it herself, so who can she blame?]

[Shen Shuyu is just talking after the fact too. If she cares so much about Yang Yi, then she should switch with her.]

No sooner had that been said in the livestream than Shen Shuyu turned to Yang Yi and said, "Sister Yang, let's switch! You can stay over there with Lin Weiwei, and I'll stay here!"

Yang Yi looked at Shen Shuyu in surprise. "You want to switch with me?"

"Mhm!" Shen Shuyu nodded firmly.

"Why? You already think this place isn't suitable for people to live in, so why do you still want to switch with me? If I can't stay here, can you?"

Shen Shuyu suddenly looked a little embarrassed. "I... I'm fine. I'm still young, so I can handle worse conditions."

Yang Yi raised an eyebrow. "Are you saying I'm old? That I'm no longer capable?"

"No, no! That's not what I meant!" Shen Shuyu was startled and hurriedly waved her hands in denial. She wanted to explain but did not know how, and sweat began to form on her forehead from anxiety.

Seeing Shen Shuyu so flustered, Yang Yi burst out laughing.

"All right, I'm teasing you. But there's no need. I can stay here. My health isn't as bad as you think," Yang Yi said with a smile.

Shen Shuyu blushed and defended herself softly, "That's not what I meant. I just..."

"All right, it's fine. I'll stay here. It's nice and quiet." Yang Yi stopped teasing Shen Shuyu and picked up her luggage, preparing to enter.

"You should head back too. The food over there will get cold soon."

When Shen Shuyu saw Yang Yi enter the house, she thought for a moment before following her inside.

[Emmm...]

[Suddenly, the atmosphere between these two feels a little subtle. (strokes chin)]

[Shen Shuyu really cares about Yang Yi. It doesn't seem fake.]

[I remember Shen Shuyu once said she was Yang Yi's fan.]

[Oh ho! Case solved!]
