Xie Linchuan: "My house is often cleaned by someone."
Shen Xingcan blinked. "What does it have to do with me that your house is regularly cleaned?"
Xie Linchuan calmly, "I want you to live with me."
Shen Xingcan: "... Living together? I haven't even accepted your unrequited love yet."
"This is how we used to live."
Shen Xingcan shook his head. "Can the past and the present be the same? You used to be a gentleman, but now... who knows if you'll suddenly go berserk in the middle of the night?"
Xie Linchuan: "... I don't know how."
Shen Xingcan: "I can't stay at your place, but you can stay at mine."
Although where she lived didn't prevent Shen Xingcan from kicking Xie Linchuan out at any time, she would obviously be more justified in doing so on her own turf.
Xie Linchuan: "... Okay, I'll have someone pack my things."
"Please have someone clean it up. We live in the city center, so it'll be convenient for you to get to the company."
"Um."
Shen Xingcan: "Help me braid my hair, there are silk scarves in that box."
"Good."
The live stream camera was placed in the living room.
After putting his luggage away, Jiang Yifeng returned to the living room, where he was chatting happily with viewers in the live stream.
He held his phone, watching the rapidly scrolling comments on the screen while answering questions from netizens. Even though he was the only person in the living room, he made the scene lively.
Shen Xingcan exclaimed in amazement, "If Jiang Xiaobai went into live streaming, he'd definitely be the top streamer in the industry."
Hearing the sound, Jiang Yifeng looked up. "The captain is out?"
"Hmm, we're out. Let's go downstairs and take a walk on the deck."
The production team gave us an hour of free time. Although it hasn't been an hour yet, there's nothing to do in the room anyway, so I might as well go to the deck and enjoy the sea breeze.
"Okay."
[ Jiang Xiaobai came out of the room in five minutes. Why did you two stay there for so long? Were you hiding in the room kissing?]
[ Xingcan changed his scarf; this pink one is so pretty, it matches his pink shirt so well. He's like a human peach!]
[Haha, if it weren't for the production team's rule against bringing too much stuff onto the island, we would have seen Xingcan of all colors these past few days.]
[I'm so curious how many of these hair scarves Shen Xingcan actually owns.]
[Curiosity adds one.]
When the three arrived on the deck, they found Song Tiantian already there, with a group of staff members setting something up beside her.
"What are you trying to do?"
"Barbecue party tonight."
Wow.
Shen Xingcan narrowed her eyes. "Eating barbecue tonight, feeling the river breeze, and looking at the Chongshan on both sides, it'll be beautiful."
Song Tiantian smiled and said, "She is indeed very beautiful."
After chatting for a while, the other guests also gathered on the deck one by one.
Once everyone had arrived, Song Tiantian took the script and began announcing the next steps.
"The production team has prepared a barbecue party for everyone tonight, as tonight is also the last night we'll all be together. To thank the audience for their support of 'A Fruit,' we'll be hosting a live stream Q&A session after the party starts. Viewers can choose who they want to interact with and ask questions, but each viewer is only allowed to ask one question at a time, and each guest has a ten-minute cooldown period, meaning the guest only needs to answer one question within ten minutes."
Shen Xingcan raised her hand to indicate that she wanted to ask a question, "What if there's a question I don't want to answer?"
"A penalty cup."
Ye Ran: "Only drinking alcohol?"
Song Tiantian smiled and said, "Yes, the reason there was bitter melon juice last time was because the production team was worried that the guests wouldn't be able to get up on time for filming, but on the last day, we can do whatever we want."
Shen Xingcan astutely grasped the key point in those words: "So tomorrow's recording doesn't start at six o'clock?"
Song Tiantian: "Tomorrow's recording starts at 10 a. m., so the guests can sleep in."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately cheered.
Ah, a lazy sleep! It's been so long since I've had one!
Shen Xingcan tentatively asked, "What if you still can't get up by ten o'clock..."
Song Tiantian: "The crew in black will break down the door, so I suggest everyone set several alarms in advance."
Ye Ran sighed, "Hiss... It's the last day, and the production team is still so ruthless."
Jiang Yifeng had a good idea. "Breaking down the door isn't a big deal. We can sleep in our clothes, and they can break down the door whenever they want."
Shen Xingcan turned to Xie Linchuan: "You'll wake me up beforehand, won't you?"
Xie Linchuan did not answer Shen Xingcan's question immediately, but paused subtly for a few seconds.
Not getting an immediate answer, Shen Xingcan was very unhappy. " Xie Linchuan, you need to think for so long just to wake me up? Do you want some kind of reward in return?!"
Xie Linchuan looked at the fuming Shen Xingcan, his tone unchanged from before, but a clear smile appeared in his eyes, "That's indeed the idea."
Shen Xingcan instantly flew into a rage. "Is something as trivial as waking me up worth asking for a reward?"
Xie Linchuan: "Whether it's worth it depends on whether you need it."
Shen Xingcan, a lazy person who desperately needs this service, asked, "... So what do you want?"
Xie Linchuan: "Remove me from the blacklist."
Shen Xingcan: "Okay."
Since he's going to be released anyway, this request is harmless to him.
"It includes all social media apps."
Shen Xingcan readily agreed.
After replying to that, Shen Xingcan took out her phone and started playing Xie Linchuan.
[They were almost in bed together, but is Best Actor Xie still on the blacklist?]
[I'm curious to see what Xingcan's contact name is for Best Actor Xie. Could any of the sisters who managed to get a live stream connection tonight ask her about that?]
[ Best Actor Xie, you're so foolish! Since you two have already made up, he'll release you sooner or later. Shouldn't you ask him to kiss you when you get such a good opportunity?]
[So the person upstairs isn't Best Actor Xie. Before the two were together, Best Actor Xie would never have made such a request.]
I completely agree with the comment above.
Soon, Shen Xingcan removed Xie Linchuan from his blacklist.
To prove that she hadn't lied, Shen Xingcan even sent Xie Linchuan a meme of an angry cat.
Shen Xingcan raised her chin. "Is it okay now?"
Xie Linchuan looked at the angry cat emoji on his WeChat and smiled slightly, "That's enough."
Shen Xingcan threatened menacingly, "If I don't wake up early tomorrow morning, you can expect to be blacklisted again."
"That won't happen."
That would be best.
After announcing the evening's schedule, the live stream came to an end.
Shen Xingcan: "Shall we wander around a bit, or go back to rest?"
"Look at you."
"Let's go back. I'll try to reconnect with my second brother; we might need his help when we get to France."
"Good."
Song Tiantian, who had gotten into the elevator with the three of them, asked curiously, " Xingcan's second brother in France?"
"Yes, he designs jewelry; you should know his name, Nuowente Kenuohe."
Shen Xingcan had no intention of hiding anything.
Anyway, once they get to France, everyone will know who his second brother is, and besides, Song Tiantian is clearly not a big mouth.
Song Tiantian's breath hitched. In fact, she had already guessed from Shen Xingcan and Xie Linchuan's words, but having a guess and having it confirmed were two completely different things.
Shen Xingcan looked at Song Tiantian's expression. "So surprised? I thought you already knew."
Song Tiantian nodded. "I had guessed it for a while, but having a guess and hearing you admit it to my face are completely different feelings. I've liked Ms. Shen Lingxun since I was a child, and the thought that you are Empress Shen's son gives me a very strange feeling."
Shen Xingcan: "A strange feeling?"
Song Tiantian said solemnly, "A strange feeling of tenderness welled up within me."
Shen Xingcan: "..."
Okay.
Jiang Yifeng sighed, "Luckily, the captain didn't reveal his identity, otherwise everyone would be a 'mommy fan' right now."
Shen Xingcan: "..."
After returning to her room, Shen Xingcan sent a long message to her second brother.
The essay begins by expressing the younger brother's longing for his older brother, followed by a description of what the younger brother had done in China over the past few days, and how these actions led to a successful reconciliation with Xie Linchuan.
Finally, he wrote that he would be going to France to record a program in a while, but due to some reasons, he would need his second brother's help in some areas after arriving there.
A housekeeper will take care of their food, clothing, accommodation, and transportation, but since they don't have cell phones, their second brother is needed to fill in any gaps in their plans.
But perhaps the other party was busy at the moment, so Shen Xingcan's short essay did not receive a reply.
Following the principle of not showing favoritism, Shen Xingcan also sent a short essay to her older brother.
