In a great mood, Shen Xingcan was even more motivated, and before long, he had moved everything piled outside the door into the cabin.
Shen Xingcan dusted off his hands. "All done. Come on, let's check out that rest area. These clothes feel so uncomfortable. I need a shower."
Building the cabin and moving their things had inevitably left Shen Xingcan covered in dust. Even though he didn't consider himself a clean freak, in weather this hot, he still couldn't help feeling itchy all over.
With that, he casually picked up his and Xie Linchuan's backpacks.
"Let's go."
A whiteboard had already been hung outside the rest area, with two lines of large writing on it.
One: one point could be exchanged for five minutes in the rest area.
Two: the rest area was divided into four sections, A, B, C, and D. The facilities in each section were exactly the same.
Three: those entering the rest area could temporarily remove the compatibility test props.
Shen Xingcan said, "One point for five minutes in the rest area... What happens if we go over time?"
Jiang Yifeng, who had come over at some point, smoothly picked up the conversation. "They'll definitely deduct points if you go over."
Standing beside the whiteboard, Song Tiantian said casually, "Nope. As soon as your time runs out, the black-clad staff inside the rest area will immediately break down the door with cameras and forcibly remove you."
Ye Ran asked timidly, "Will we get dragged out even if we're showering?"
Song Tiantian grinned mischievously. "Of course. And taking gender into account, the production team has arranged for both male and female black-clad staff."
Shen Xingcan's eyelid twitched. "Why do I feel like this rule is even scarier than forcibly deducting points..."
He absolutely did not want black-clad staff breaking down the door while he was showering! Absolutely not!
Song Tiantian said, "So make sure you exchange enough points for the time you need."
Shen Xingcan looked at Xie Linchuan. "How much time should we get? Is twenty minutes enough?"
"Let's do thirty."
Shen Xingcan nodded, then turned to Song Tiantian. "Then we'll take thirty minutes."
Song Tiantian acknowledged him, then used a key to unlock the chain connecting Shen Xingcan's and Xie Linchuan's wrists. Finally, she handed them an alarm clock set to ring in thirty minutes.
"If you don't want the black-clad staff breaking down your door, make sure you leave the rest area before the alarm goes off."
Shen Xingcan answered, then swiftly took Xie Linchuan's hand and pulled him through the entrance behind Song Tiantian.
Xie Linchuan looked at Shen Xingcan's hand holding his, a slight shift in his gaze.
Shen Xingcan turned and suggested, "I think we could totally shower together. It'll definitely be faster with both of us."
Xie Linchuan said, "...I don't think so."
Shen Xingcan looked at Xie Linchuan in disbelief. "How are you still shy at a time like this?... Oh, forget it. If you don't want to, we'll take turns."
He's so thin-skinned. How has he managed to get by in film and television? Though, looking at everything Xie Linchuan has acted in, none of it seems to have any particularly intimate scenes...
Shen Xingcan pulled Xie Linchuan into the nearest rest section, which was labeled A.
A place involving this much privacy was naturally no longer suitable for filming, so the viewers camped out in the livestream could only stare at the door and sigh.
The entire area was further divided into three parts: a bathroom area, a laundry area, and a lounge area.
Shen Xingcan looked at Xie Linchuan. "You first or me?"
"You."
"Okay, I'll try to be quick. Rest on the sofa for now."
With that, Shen Xingcan rushed into the bathroom area as though his pants were on fire.
The frosted-glass door slammed shut before Xie Linchuan, and the room fell silent.
It seemed that only now did Xie Linchuan have a moment to think-to think about Shen Xingcan.
At eighteen, Shen Xingcan had said he wanted to marry the person he loved when he turned thirty. If his wife was willing, they would have a beautiful, adorable little baby, too.
If he hadn't harbored other feelings, he would have thought that was wonderful. But he had developed feelings he shouldn't have.
And so, Xie Linchuan had chosen to run away.
Naturally, Shen Xingcan couldn't have failed to notice his deliberate distancing, and someone as proud as Shen Xingcan naturally couldn't stand it.
After that, things had gone just as Xie Linchuan had expected. Their relationship had grown distant and cold, and they had begun to clash at every turn...
It had gone on like that for years, until today. Shen Xingcan seemed to have forgotten all of it. This time, the young master who had always been proud had chosen to bow his head.
