On the contrary, Gu Chengyuan thought waiting tables would help make him more approachable.
The two exchanged points for their travel expenses and boarded a bus.
Hu Bing and Jia Mingchuan really seemed destined to be together; they had been paired up again. With no ideas of their own, they planned to go to the bustling Century Park and have some fun while they were there. So a few minutes later, they boarded a bus on a different route.
The 185-centimeter-tall Wang Xinyang felt that standing beside the 188-centimeter-tall Bai Chongxuan made them look like Black and White Impermanence, off to claim someone's life.
The reason was that he was too dark, while the long-haired Bai Chongxuan was too pale. Perhaps Bai Chongxuan had finally realized how hot his long hair was, because he had tied it up with a black hair tie.
Bai Chongxuan asked, "Bus or taxi?"
Wang Xinyang laughed outright. "Can you even get a taxi?"
Then he turned to the two VJs following behind them with cameras on their shoulders and asked, "Can we use a ride-hailing app?"
A VJ replied, "Yes, but the fare will be deducted from your points. Going downtown will probably cost over a hundred. Do you have enough points?"
Wang Xinyang could only feel helpless at that. He did not care which form of transportation they took anyway.
But Bai Chongxuan could not do that. He was a perfumer with an extremely sensitive nose, so the smells on the bus would make him throw up as soon as he got on!
Seeing the beautiful Bai Chongxuan frown, Wang Xinyang decided to try again. "If we don't have enough, can we borrow the rest from the director? My partner can't take the bus. Surely the production team isn't that heartless?"
The VJ listened. Good grief, now they were calling it heartless. "All right, we'll book a car for you. Remember to pay back the points you owe."
The VJ deftly took out a phone, immediately opened the app, and booked a car. The fare came to exactly 110 yuan.
They only had 95 points between them, so now they owed the director 15 points.
And just like that, Wang Xinyang's team had gone into debt before earning any money.
Li Qingmi and Shao Chongsi chose to take the bus. They already had their masks on and did not care what the bus smelled like. They boarded one bound for the area near a university.
The two preferred a little more freedom, so each wore a GoPro strapped to the wrist, ready to move it elsewhere on the body if necessary.
The director watched in satisfaction as they all set off to make their way in the world. Then it occurred to him that he had always been curious about what Chi Yining and Yan Guiyun did in their respective rooms.
So he called over Xiaofang, a member of the staff. "Go ask our two guests, Yan Guiyun and Chi Yining, to take the cloths off their room cameras. Tell them they still have to film even if they aren't going out."
Xiaofang nodded. "Okay, I'll go right away."
Xiaofang was a level-ten Chi Yining meme enthusiast. She was delighted to receive the assignment.
Before long, she arrived outside Chi Yining's room and knocked. "Mr. Chi Yining, are you there?"
A moment later, Chi Yining opened the door. "Is something wrong?"
Xiaofang was stunned. This was her first time seeing him up close. Weren't Chi Yining's eyes far too beautiful?
And his fair skin did not even have a visible pore. How were girls like her supposed to live with that?
Xiaofang did not let the exaggerated expression inside her show on her face. "The director said you still need to film even if you don't go out. Sorry for the trouble, but could you turn your camera on?"
Chi Yining seemed to grow unhappy at that. Even the air around him brimmed with unhappiness, but there was nothing Xiaofang could do. She was only an employee!
A few seconds later, Chi Yining nodded. "All right... Thank you."
With that, he shut the door with a click.
Xiaofang then turned to call on Yan Guiyun. Without hesitation, Yan Guiyun replied with an "Mm" and closed the door.
In the control room, the director finally saw the blue cloth in Chi Yining's room being lifted away.
