You Look Like a Bottomless Pit Now

Qi Si woke from a nap to find Zhou Linzhe still fussing over his bed.

Grandma Yu's freshly made sheets and bedding had all been stripped off and replaced with the ones he had brought himself.

He had even put covers he had brought over the bedding.

Qi Si sat on the bed for a moment, shaking off his sleepiness.

Once he was fully awake, he looked at Zhou Linzhe, who was still at it, with sheer admiration on his face.

"So you wasted more than half the space in that suitcase on these?" Qi Si asked, pointing at the replaced sheets and bedding.

"Mm." Zhou Linzhe nodded.

Qi Si looked at him admiringly. "My brother said I was high-maintenance, but compared to you, I'm nothing!"

Watching the livestream, Qi Wang deeply regretted compromising with the production crew so easily.

He should have stood his ground and made Qi Si bring all those things along!

"But how did the director agree to let you bring all this? Everything I packed got screened out. Why didn't yours?" Qi Si asked doubtfully.

Zhou Linzhe replied, "I traded other necessities for them."

"Huh?" Traded? How?

Fans who had been in Zhou Linzhe's livestream from the beginning immediately came forward to testify.

[I can confirm he's telling the truth!]

[I can too! Second Young Master Zhou took out some of his clothes and swapped them for bedding!]

[He took out all his warm clothes too. (facepalm)]

[Good lord! If I remember right, it's supposed to get colder here in the next few days. (doge)]

[Hahahaha, I'm dying! I want to fast-forward and see Second Young Master Zhou freeze his ass off. (doge)]

[Hahaha, that's ruthless!]

After Qi Si learned what Zhou Linzhe had traded for those sheets and covers, he could no longer hold back his laughter.

Obviously, he had checked the recent weather forecast too.

They did not know the final destination, but they knew the general city, so they knew there was a high chance of a cold snap in the next few days.

That was why he had packed several sets of warm clothes in his suitcase, just in case.

Meanwhile, the space in Zhou Linzhe's suitcase that should have held thick clothes had been taken up by bedding, so naturally he had nothing to keep himself warm.

"Second Young Master Zhou, brilliant!" Qi Si gave Zhou Linzhe a thumbs-up.

When the livestream viewers heard Qi Si praising Zhou Linzhe, they nearly laughed themselves crazy.

Originally, Qi Si had been the only rich second-generation heir, so the viewers' attention had naturally been focused on him.

Now that Zhou Linzhe had joined them, and both were young masters, they were inevitably compared.

Qi Si's young-master airs had always been something his haters attacked, but with Zhou Linzhe there as a comparison, he unexpectedly made Qi Si look better.

Compared side by side, Zhou Linzhe's sheet-changing behavior really did seem overly fussy.

If Qi Si had done the same thing, the viewers might not have thought much of it.

But the point was, Qi Si, who had always been seen as having young-master syndrome, had done nothing at all!

He had simply lain down and gone to sleep!

[Tsk tsk! A young master really does look down on country people's things. (picking nose)]

[I'm dying. If you dislike it so much, then don't stay there!]

[This is honestly kind of off-putting. Grandma Yu's sheets and bedding were washed white from use, but they looked perfectly clean. Was this really necessary?]

[Qi Si suddenly looks a lot more pleasing to the eye.]

[True. Qi Si has done plenty of off-putting things before, but he performed pretty well this time.]

Qi Si woke from his nap feeling refreshed.

Sitting on the bed, he watched Zhou Linzhe fuss around for ages until he had made his bed look completely new.

Then Zhou Linzhe wiped down the entire room with alcohol wipes before finally settling down.

Qi Si clicked his tongue as he watched.

"That's our Second Young Master for you! So particular! So refined!"

Zhou Linzhe glanced at him but said nothing.

It was as though Xiang Qianchong had deliberately given Zhou Linzhe time to organize his things. Just as Zhou Linzhe finished tidying up, the director called everyone to gather.

When Qi Si and Zhou Linzhe arrived at the meeting spot, the others were also making their way over.

Once everyone had assembled, Xiang Qianchong looked at the guests and announced the next filming task.

"Did everyone eat well at lunch?"

"Not bad."

"Director, you know what? Grandma Yu's cooking was really delicious!" Qi Si smacked his lips. Thinking of lunch, he still felt unsatisfied.

Shen Shuyu chimed in, "Jiang Granny's cooking was delicious too! Even though I'm supposed to be dieting, I ate until I was stuffed at lunch!"

"Right? Too bad Second Young Master didn't get to taste it!" Qi Si said, looking at Zhou Linzhe with a regretful expression.

The guy had gone out with Lin Weiwei and the others to look at houses. By the time he got back, Qi Si had already finished eating.

Grandma Yu had saved food for Zhou Linzhe, but unfortunately, he had looked down on it, so he had not eaten lunch.

Shen Shuyu froze. "Linzhe didn't eat lunch?"

Zhou Linzhe listened expressionlessly as the two mentioned him, with no intention of speaking.

"Young Master Zhou didn't eat lunch? Then isn't he hungry now?" Lin Weiwei suddenly spoke up, looking at Zhou Linzhe with concern written all over her face.

Meeting Lin Weiwei's concerned gaze, Zhou Linzhe felt warmth spread through his heart. "It's fine. I'm not hungry."

"How could you not be hungry? It's already afternoon. No matter how much you ate this morning, it should all be digested by now. Director, can't you really provide something to eat? It's so easy to get stomach problems like this," Lin Weiwei said worriedly.

Shen Shuyu looked at Lin Weiwei and Zhou Linzhe with an ugly expression, her lips pressed tightly together.

Yang Yi glanced at her, her gaze darkening slightly.

Qi Si could not help laughing after hearing Lin Weiwei.

"Miss Lin, what's the point of asking the director? It's not like the director refused to give him food. Second Young Master himself thought the food was beneath him and refused to eat it. Whose fault is that? Grandma Yu still has his meal warming in the pot. If he's really hungry, can't he go eat it himself?"

Lin Weiwei's expression also darkened when she saw that Qi Si was once again making things difficult for her.

"Young Master Qi, I didn't mean anything by it. I'm just worried that Young Master Zhou will hurt his health by going hungry. The food here really isn't very refined, so it's normal that Young Master Zhou doesn't like it. I thought the director would consider the guests' dietary habits and prepare at least a little food."

"No," Xiang Qianchong said as soon as Lin Weiwei finished speaking. "Since you chose to join the show, everyone on the show is treated the same. If you can't adapt, withdraw voluntarily. The production crew will not force anyone to stay."

[Exactly! If you can't handle it, don't join! I seriously don't get what Zhou Linzhe is even here for.]

[Qi Si can eat it, but Zhou Linzhe is somehow too precious? Will he die if he eats it?]

[I'm dying! Qi Si really snipes Lin Weiwei with perfect accuracy! The second she opens her mouth, he fires back. (laughing crying)]

[He's so in love! I'm crying!]

[Hahahahaha! Lin Weiwei probably hates Qi Si to death by now!]

[Lin Weiwei: Are you insane? Can you stop fixating on me?!]

[Haven't you figured it out yet? Zhou Linzhe probably joined the show for Lin Weiwei, right? He acts indifferent whenever anyone else talks, but the moment Lin Weiwei speaks, his eyes soften immediately!]

[That really is true!]

[Fuck! Does Lin Weiwei have the script of an irresistible heroine or something? Why does every man like her, or used to like her?]

Although Xiang Qianchong had not meant to target Lin Weiwei, his words had still slapped her across the face in public.

Lin Weiwei could not keep up her composure, and her eyes reddened slightly.

Seeing this, Zhou Linzhe immediately spoke up to defend Lin Weiwei.

"It's fine. I really am not hungry. Also, thank you for caring, Weiwei. I'm very happy."

Hearing Zhou Linzhe, Qi Si sneered inwardly.

Sure enough, he's the devoted male supporting character.

To put it bluntly, he's Lin Weiwei's simp.

Qi Si glanced at Shen Shuyu beside him again. When he saw her pale face, he could not help wanting to roll his eyes.

Are these protagonists in this book really beyond saving?

But whether they were beyond saving had nothing to do with him. He was not some savior, so they could all go to hell!

After convincing himself, Qi Si stopped caring about the love-hate drama among those three.

"Director Xiang, hurry up and announce the task. I'm waiting to finish early so I can go back and eat," Qi Si called out to Xiang Qianchong.

Xiang Qianchong rolled his eyes at him. "Young Master Qi, do you know what kind of change your image has undergone in my mind in just half a day?"

"What change?" Qi Si asked.

"You've successfully gone from a young master to a bottomless pit."

"Pfft!" The others could not hold it in and burst out laughing.

Qi Si: "..."

"Fine, fine! Personal attacks, huh?" Qi Si laughed in anger. "Just you wait! My brother is definitely watching the livestream! Let's see whether you make it back!"

Qi Si glared at Xiang Qianchong as he threatened him viciously.

Xiang Qianchong's expression changed. "How old are you? You're still tattling? Haven't you been weaned yet?"

"I'm not tattling. My brother saw it himself!" Qi Si said righteously.

"Your brother is the chairman of a company. Where would he find the time to stare at your livestream every day?"

Just as Xiang Qianchong finished speaking, a golden-red comment floated across the livestream.

[Little brother is so good: I am indeed watching.]

The staff member monitoring the livestream went pale when he saw the comment, hurriedly took a screenshot, and handed it to Xiang Qianchong.

Xiang Qianchong's expression froze. He took a deep breath.

"Hehe... Young Master Qi, I was just joking! How could you possibly be a bottomless pit? I'm the bottomless pit!"

Qi Si looked at Xiang Qianchong with a half-smile. "My brother doesn't have time to watch livestreams?"

Xiang Qianchong: "..."
