Filming began

The production team chose S City's famous seaside as the location for filming the second episode.

S City's seaside was a very famous tourist attraction and a filming location for romantic scenes in many television dramas.

Many fans had also posted about their visits online, and traffic had remained consistently high.

This time, the directors spent a fortune renting an entire seaside villa and a stretch of beach for the activities.

When Xu Wang and Pei Yanchuan saw the news, they went to the mall together the next day to buy a few things.

On the day of filming, the guests finally boarded the plane they had missed out on in the first episode.

The director had generously chartered a flight.

"That profiteering director actually opened his wallet. Something feels off." Sitting in his seat, Xia Yu looked left and right. He even suspected there was a bomb under his backside, ready to send him to the afterlife the next second.

Beside him, Hou Yunqi got a blanket ready for him. "The director wouldn't bear the expense."

"True." After pondering for a moment, Xia Yu nodded in agreement.

[Hahaha, this variety show is hilarious right from the start.]

[Oh my gosh, did the director strike it rich? We even get a plane now. (doge for protection)]

[With how stingy the director is, he probably couldn't manage a bomb. (doge)(doge)]

[Hahaha, don't look, director. These are negative reviews. (doge)]

Beside them, Qin Huai had already settled into a comfortable position, wearing an eye mask and preparing to sleep.

Just as he was about to close his eyes and rest, he looked at Gu Yunlan beside him. "Watch your posture when you rest later. Have a little professionalism, understood?"

Gu Yunlan had also been about to close his eyes and rest. Hearing his wife's words, he looked at him aggrievedly. Did he not love me anymore?

Looking at the aggrieved face before him, Qin Huai reached out and stroked his cheek, his touch very gentle, as though soothing him.

Just as Gu Yunlan smiled again, Qin Huai's next stab went even deeper.

"I have complete confidence in that face of yours. It's that mouth of yours that drools."

Gu Yunlan's smiling face successfully cracked, crumbling to pieces with a series of crunches.

Gu Yunlan turned away angrily. This time, unless Qin Huai coaxed him for a full three minutes, he absolutely would not get over it.

Qin Huai was in no hurry. He calmly pulled down his eye mask and began resting.

[Hahaha, our sister-in-law is wise!]

[All you gossip accounts, keep watching. You might get a screenshot of our award-winning actor drooling today. Whether you seize this trending topic delivered right to your doorstep is up to you.]

[Award-winning actor Gu one second: hehe. The next second: no more hehe.]

[The aggrieved award-winning actor VS the cool, composed sister-in-law. I declare a complete victory for our sister-in-law.]

[Hahaha, the anger put itself out.]

Zhong Ran and Leng Yifan seemed a little smarter this episode. They did nothing particularly exaggerated, simply holding hands and resting against their seat backs.

[Ranran looks so beautiful asleep.]

[Feels like Young Master Leng and Ranran are entering old-married-couple territory too.]

[Have they turned over a new leaf?]

Xu Wang and Pei Yanchuan sat side by side. Across the aisle beside Xu Wang, Yun Xi sat alone.

Xu Wang looked at Yun Xi, who seemed a little different. For some reason, he kept feeling that the other man's hair was giving off a faint green glow.

Xu Wang quietly told Pei Yanchuan beside him about his discovery.

At first, Pei Yanchuan thought it was the lighting, but when he looked over, he found that Yun Xi's hair really was a little green-and glowing green at that.

Their gazes successfully drew a response from the man himself.

"Hey, what are you two looking at? Never seen a handsome guy before?" Yun Xi looked at them suspiciously, unable to help wondering whether the beauty treatments he had undergone over the past few days were working.

"Why did you make your hair green?" Xu Wang pointed at his hair.

"Wh-what?" Looking bewildered, Yun Xi pointed at himself. Why was he having trouble understanding what Xu Wang was saying?

[So I wasn't imagining it. (snicker)]

[I was just about to ask what was going on. Was this voluntary?]

[I've been watching this little fake-sweet schemer's livestream from the start. Everyone who passed him stared at him for ages.]

[The thing is, staring for ages was one thing, but the more people looked, the prouder he got. Once he tilted his head up, even more of his hair caught the light.]

[Hahaha.]

Looking as though the sky had fallen, Yun Xi turned and hurriedly grabbed his phone from beside him, opening its camera.

Yun Xi took one look, his vision went dark, and he sucked in a sharp breath.

Yun Xi took a deep breath. He suddenly remembered: back in the RV today, the makeup artist had told him not to forget to sprinkle a little glitter on his head. He had casually picked up a small opaque bottle from the table. Without paying much attention, he had sprinkled some on the left and some on the right, as though seasoning his hair...

"Don't tell me you did this yourself?" Xu Wang hit the truth squarely.

...Yun Xi had no answer.

"Your team doesn't know, do they?"

...Yun Xi successfully took another arrow.

"Then does your manager know?"

...Spurt, spurt, spurt! Coughing blood!

Yun Xi slumped in his seat, his face ashen.

[Hahaha, I'm laughing my head off ꉂ (´∀｀)ʱªʱªʱª]

[How can this little fake-sweet schemer be so funny?]

[Every word from Xu's Wife stabbed Yun Xi right in the heart.]

[Aaaaah, President Pei kept watching his wife and smiling the whole time. They're so shippable.]

[I saw it too. As a shipping scholar, I excel at spotting details. (genius glasses)]

The trending topic Yun Xi had dreamed of arrived, but it seemed a little different from what he had imagined.

#Yun Xi went green#

Seeing such an explosive headline, many people browsing online instinctively clicked on it.

Just as everyone was wondering who had been so unlucky, a photo of Yun Xi's glowing green hair appeared before their eyes.

The comments section erupted into laughter, and not a single person broke the pattern.

Yun Xi's very first meme also burst onto the scene.

Far away at the agency, Yun Xi's manager had just finished a meeting with senior management. The moment he stepped out of the office, he was met with strange looks from many of his colleagues.

An ominous feeling suddenly rose in Yun Xi's manager's heart, and he quickly pulled out his phone.

The moment the screen lit up, messages in Yun Xi's team chat shot up too fast to follow, quickly reaching 99+. Even then, his phone kept vibrating madly.

Yun Xi's makeup artist alone had sent nearly fifty messages to the group.

Yun Xi's manager closed his eyes and exited the group chat. As soon as he opened the trending topics, his vision went dark again.

It was already noon when Xu Wang and the others reached their destination. The seaside sunshine was intense, and the heat sweltering.

Xu Wang and Pei Yanchuan stepped off the plane in matching floral shirts, the hot wind blowing through the ends of their hair.

This time, the vehicles picking up the guests were no longer that double-decker bus, but a fleet of sleek black minivans.

"Looks like the director landed a big advertising deal." Xu Wang looked at the small stand beside the vehicles. A large advertising placard sat on it: "Thanks to the Feng Teng brand for its generous support..."

They got into the vehicles and headed for the villa the production team had prepared.

The moment they entered the villa, they exchanged looks of disbelief.

"Yanchuan, the production team hasn't changed directors, has it?" Xu Wang looked up at the villa, a full three stories tall, and asked doubtfully.

"I haven't received any notice, so probably not." Pei Yanchuan shook his head.

"Could the director have been possessed?" Xia Yu went straight for a fantasy explanation.

"And gotten a Tycoon System that gives him a huge villa for checking in every day," Hou Yunqi added from behind him.

"Yes, yes, yes! That's exactly it." Xia Yu nodded furiously. Perhaps the director really was the chosen one.

The director heard their conversation just as he entered and nearly tripped over his own feet. Beside him, the assistant director's shoulders began to shake gently.
