Wang Xiao handed Pei Hanmo the cards printed with houses.
"Choose the little villa."
Wan Linqing moved closer to Pei Hanmo and suggested beside him:
"It'll be more convenient for everyone to stay there."
Man Feiluan's excited expression immediately wilted. If his ears had been out right then, they would surely have drooped on either side.
He had really been looking forward to that old-fashioned residence.
[Wan Linqing, are you okay?]
[Learn from Chu Xinghui how to cozy your way into Universal Entertainment.]
[Linqing was just offering a suggestion. What are you people getting so triggered about?]
Pei Hanmo tilted his head and asked softly beside Chu Xinghui's ear:
"Which one do you want to go to?"
Chu Xinghui was the one who had actually found Wan Linqing. Pei Hanmo had been watching Chu Xinghui the whole time and had never even noticed Wan Linqing walking over.
Wan Linqing lowered her head, looking a little dejected, and stood there docilely, waiting for Pei Hanmo to choose.
Chu Xinghui did not particularly care about their accommodations, but seeing how disappointed Man Feiluan was, he could not bear it and said:
"Let's go to that old residence."
The kid had spent all last night looking forward to it on WeChat. He couldn't let him down, could he?
"Really!"
Man Feiluan immediately raised his head and lunged toward Chu Xinghui with his arms out:
"Huihui, I love you so much!"
Halfway through his lunge, Yuan Zhanpeng reached out and pulled him back again.
He looked up and stamped his foot as he stared at Yuan Zhanpeng, his eyes blazing with fury:
"Why won't you let me hug Huihui!!"
If he had horns right then, he would already have rammed them into Yuan Zhanpeng.
Sensing the waves of jealousy coming from Pei Hanmo's gaze, a hint of helplessness appeared on Yuan Zhanpeng's usually expressionless face.
He bent slightly, wrapped an arm around Man Feiluan's waist, and lowered his head with a sigh.
[I get it. Wolfie's jealous!]
[Wolfie: I can't say much. Just stay away from Chu Xinghui when Pei Hanmo's around.]
[Is this the mutual understanding between two tops?]
Seeing that Pei Hanmo had not chosen the place she recommended, Wan Linqing bit her lip slightly.
Was Chu Xinghui really that great?
He reeked of a fox spirit's seductive tricks!
Could Pei Hanmo like that sort?
Wan Linqing was a fox too, though an orange one, not a white fox.
She had searched online for ages for Pei Hanmo's preferences but had found nothing.
She had spent so long dressing up carefully today, yet Pei Hanmo avoided her as though she were some terrifying fiend.
Where exactly had things gone wrong!
"All right, then let's head to this old residence first."
Wang Xiao took back the cards and led the group down from the little bridge.
Several small boats were already moored beneath the bridge, with fishermen waiting aboard, leisurely singing fishing songs.
Seeing Wang Xiao approach, they immediately climbed out and handed the card they were holding to Lan Xiangxian, who arrived first.
Lan Xiangxian hurriedly accepted the card, then turned around, wanting to pass it to someone else.
Everyone behind him gestured for him to read it.
Moments like this offered the most camera time, especially for someone with little popularity like Lan Xiangxian.
Reading the instructions would give him more exposure.
Just as Lan Xiangxian was about to read, Wan Linqing spoke:
"Let me."
She stepped forward and, without waiting for Lan Xiangxian to hand it over, snatched the card from his hand and began in a syrupy, cutesy voice:
"Hello, guests. For this journey, you have chosen the old residence.
The old residence has five rooms for everyone to choose from. Please follow the fishermen and learn to row. Upon arrival, place the card in your hand into the designated card slot inside a room to receive the right to use that room for three days and two nights.
Please note: every room is furnished differently~"
Listening to Wan Linqing's voice, Wen Liangtian gave an inward chuckle.
Another one who didn't know her own limits.
Because of his own embarrassing performance in the previous episode, he had never dared watch the first episode edited by the director.
Now this was good. Someone else had come to keep him company.
[Qingqing's so nice. She's even helping someone else read the card.]
[That guy called Lan something gets so much stage fright. Who knows how he even got in.]
[Qingqing's so generous!]
With Wan Linqing's addition, large numbers of her fans flooded into the livestream and began steering the conversation.
Wan Linqing lowered the card, gazing affectionately at Pei Hanmo with watery eyes.
He should understand, seeing her like this, right?
She wanted to share a boat with him.
There were four boats in total, so if they divided up evenly, three people would definitely have to share one boat.
Wang Xiao coughed twice, drawing everyone's attention to himself:
"We'll divide you up according to where you were just standing.
Hua Zhiyuan and Qiao Tong will be one group,
Lan Xiangxian and Yuan Zhanpeng will be one group,
Man Feiluan and Wen Liangtian will be one group,
and the remaining three will be one group."
Hearing the assignments, Pei Hanmo raised his eyes to look at Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao guiltily shifted his gaze aside.
This was what made things worth watching. What would there be to watch if everything stayed uneventful?
[Well, damn. All I can say is, well, damn.]
[Wang Xiao: breaking up ships for a hundred years.]
[The lovebirds have been split up QAQ]
Neither Lan Xiangxian nor Yuan Zhanpeng was particularly talkative. They nodded and climbed into the first boat.
As the only one whose pairing had not been split up, Qiao Tong could barely contain the excitement in her eyes. She gently took Hua Zhiyuan's hand and led her toward the next boat.
Wen Liangtian and Man Feiluan had already become very familiar with each other and hopped aboard with their arms around each other's shoulders.
The three left onshore stared at one another.
"Uh, shall we... get on?"
In the end, Chu Xinghui spoke first and stepped toward the last boat.
Pei Hanmo said nothing and followed Chu Xinghui.
"Oh, there are three of you!"
Seeing the three climb aboard, the boatman immediately made room for them.
"Three is good. More strength."
He handed out the oars he was holding to the three of them:
"I'll teach you how to row in a moment. Just watch my hand signals and follow the rhythm, and you'll definitely get there first."
There were a few fine wrinkles on his face, but they could not hide his delight.
"The little fellow can sit on one side with this young lady, and the tall fellow on the other. That'll distribute the weight properly so we won't capsize easily."
He stood steadily on the boat, explaining things to the three of them.
Chu Xinghui looked at the oar in his hands and followed the boatman's instructions, learning earnestly.
There were only five rooms. Did that mean someone would have to sleep together?
Wan Linqing was making her own little calculations behind them.
She and Pei Hanmo were on the same boat, closer to each other. Proximity gave her the advantage. As long as she followed behind Pei Hanmo and inserted her card, she could stay in the same room as him.
Then she could seduce him a little... wouldn't that make it easy?
As for Chu Xinghui, she would be the boss's wife at Universal Entertainment in the future. Why would she care about some insignificant Chu Xinghui?
She was a fox just like Chu Xinghui. Judging by Pei Hanmo, he definitely liked foxes.
As long as she seized her chance...
The more she thought about it, the happier she became, and a smile curled her lips.
[Why is Qingqing so happy? Does she already know how to do all this?]
[Seeing how confident Qingqing is, I feel like our group's already got this in the bag.]
[Victory is guaranteed, okay!]
