Under Xie Mi's rule, everyone got to eat barbecue that tasted bad but was at least edible.
And so their night at the guesthouse passed pleasantly.
Early the next morning, Xie Mi was woken by the terrified cries of the Production Team's staff.
She shuffled onto the balcony, still bleary-eyed, and saw a group of staff sprinting along the beach in the same direction.
They kept shouting as they ran.
"Best Actor Xiao! Best Actor Xiao!"
"Best! Actor! Xiao!"
Looking in the direction they were chasing, she saw a familiar tent hanging from a tree. Xiao Jingxi himself was lying peacefully on the sand beneath it.
Watching the medical team carry Xiao Jingxi away on a stretcher, Xie Mi narrowed her eyes and did some deduction.
Fact: Xiao Jingxi had insisted on sleeping on the beach last night to show off. Another fact: fierce winds had swept across the beach last night.
Therefore, Xiao Jingxi had probably been blown away, tent and all.
Showing off really did come at a price.
[What a dedicated lunatic variety show. Serving us comedy first thing in the morning.]
[Is Xiao Jingxi a professional clown? How does he make a fool of himself every single day?]
[I strongly suspect Xiao Jingxi got jealous yesterday when he saw Bro Mimi was more popular than him. Now he's trying to go the comedian route too and steal Bro Mimi's job.]
[Case closed.]
After changing into the white tracksuit the Production Team had specifically provided for today, Xie Mi went downstairs to gather in the living room.
The other guests had also changed into identical white tracksuits and were sitting on the living room sofa, including Xiao Jingxi, who was hooked up to an IV.
"What's going on today? Why are we all wearing the same thing?"
