The simply yet exquisitely elegant living room on the first floor was done in soft white, with a large open kitchen at its far end.
Three large gray-blue fabric sofas and several armchairs stood in the middle of the living room.
They were artfully staggered to form three-quarters of a circle, with a large, round black-glass coffee table in the center.
Several people were already sitting on the sofas, all of whom had come out because staying in their rooms was too boring.
Not seeing the puppet-like boy, Wang Xinyang actually felt a little disappointed.
"Hello, everyone. My name is Wang Xinyang." Forcing a smile, Wang Xinyang greeted them and held out his hand to one of the boys.
"Hello, Hu Bing." The boy greeted him in a gentle tone.
Hu Bing had delicate features with an air of nobility, a pair of attractive almond-shaped eyes, and well-defined features.
Although he promptly shook his hand, Wang Xinyang could tell that Hu Bing was only being polite on the surface.
"Hello~ My name is Chen Shiyu."
This Chen Shiyu had such a sweet voice. He looked innocent, too, with fair skin and a lovely smile.
Wang Xinyang shook his hand as well.
The remaining person... said nothing and was playing on his phone, so Wang Xinyang didn't go looking for a snub.
"How did you get here?" Wang Xinyang deftly got the conversation going.
Hu Bing said, "By taxi."
Chen Shiyu propped his face on his hand and looked at him. "I took a taxi, too."
"I took a coach, then transferred to a bus. Neither was too crowded. Have you eaten?" Only then did Wang Xinyang remember that he hadn't had lunch!
Chen Shiyu said, "When we passed through the city center, we went for lunch together."
"Huh? You came together? You know each other?"
Chen Shiyu smiled. "We met at the airport. Does that count as knowing each other?"
The image of the boy in slippers sleeping so quietly on the plane surfaced in Wang Xinyang's mind again. "Of course it counts. Why wouldn't it?"
Wang Xinyang found a seat near them and sat down as well. "The production team provides meals, right?"
Chen Shiyu nodded. "Yep, but we wanted to try the local food first, so we went out to eat. Hehe~"
After unknowingly sleeping for three hours, Chi Yining finally felt refreshed and glanced at the time on his phone.
It was almost three in the afternoon. He had slept his fill.
He dug a bag of sugar-free biscuits he had bought that morning out of his suitcase and ate them with the sponsor-brand water in his room.
It barely filled his stomach.
After taking care of his needs, he picked up his tablet, found a drawing app, and downloaded it.
I'll draw the advertisement first...
After watching all afternoon, Director Feng was getting restless. He had no idea what Chi Yining was doing in his room. No useful sounds had come from inside.
They hadn't even captured a single useful shot.
The viewers in the livestream were dying of curiosity, but that was fine! That was exactly the effect he wanted!
It was soon six in the evening. Chi Yining came downstairs right at dinnertime, the mask on his face long since gone.
Wang Xinyang and Chen Shiyu had grown familiar with each other over the afternoon and were chatting up a storm.
But when he heard footsteps and looked up to see a boy coming down the stairs, with bright eyes, white teeth, impeccably refined features, and a slightly languid air, he froze...
Wasn't this the boy in slippers?! He had thought the people already here were handsome and good-looking, but now someone even better-looking had appeared.
Wang Xinyang was even starting to admire the director's eye.
The boy ignored them and walked straight toward the kitchen and dining area.
Was this guy autistic? From behind, he actually looked rather slight.
The others also saw Chi Yining, but they didn't recognize him.
"He's gorgeous! Who is that?" Chen Shiyu's eyes lit up the moment he saw the boy in slippers.
