Oh no, he's really become a millionaire.
Xie Ji couldn't contain his excitement and looked at Shang Yan with starry eyes.
Shang Yan paused for a moment, then said, "Your portion will be credited to your card before the end of the year."
Xie Ji smiled, his eyes narrowing, "Thank you, brother."
Shang Yan frowned as he looked at Xie Ji's abnormally swollen lips, but didn't say anything more.
Lu Xunji sat to one side, flipping through the points mall list, his expression unchanged. Ji Shi, noticing his displeasure, spoke up, " Lu Xunji has always been in charge of the farmhouse's renovations, right? Staying in a well-equipped bedroom and enjoying 'princess' treatment, our ' Princess Lu ' is the most qualified to comment on the farmhouse experience. Why don't we let him choose?"
All eyes turned to Lu Xunji's face as Ji Shi spoke.
Ji Shi's implication was quite clear: he was mocking Lu Xunji for enjoying himself on the show without putting in any effort.
Lu Xunji looked up without changing his expression, tossed the list aside, and smiled, "Get lost."
Ji Shi sneered, "So fierce, huh? You think you can't say that?"
He had always resented Lu Xunji for occupying that bedroom, not because he was jealous of its well-equipped and luxurious conditions, but because he disliked Xie Ji always following Lu Xunji around calling him "brother."
It's an eyesore.
Lu Xunji didn't speak, but looked at Ji Shi with a dismissive gaze, as if he were looking at trash.
Ji Shi Xie Ji couldn't bear this humiliation and tried to grab Lu Xunji by the collar, bypassing Xie Ji.
"Wait, wait!" Xie Ji quickly put down the corn he was eating, pressed Ji Shi down, and said seriously, "Actually, that's not what my brother meant! He meant... uh... it's just..."
Their gazes then turned to Xie Ji's face.
Xie Ji: "..."
He really couldn't stand this human-machine world anymore.
Please transfer to human assistance, thank you.
He closed his eyes briefly, coughed, and said, "My brother means that our agritainment business should be called -- Brother House Affection! Great! Great name!"
silence.
A prolonged silence.
They will either perish in silence or become perverted in silence.
Lu Xunji raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's so good about it?"
Xie Ji: "What's so good about it... um... um..."
Its good point is that it's deliciously spicy.
Xie Ji felt that life was becoming meaningless.
I'm frantically trying to sabotage you here, and you're frantically undermining me there, huh?
Lu Xunji propped his head up with his hand. "Does it mean being affectionate with your brother inside the house?"
Xie Ji: "..."
That's a bit strange.
But I don't know what's wrong with it.
"That's how you explain it," Xie Ji, sitting down with his eyes closed. "It's not entirely unacceptable."
Lu Xunji smiled, leaned forward slightly, and with that same look of looking down on people like dogs, whispered in Xie Ji's ear in a voice only the two of them could hear.
"Sweetie, is the noodles I made delicious?"
Xie Ji's face was blank; he remained silent.
Bro, do you remember you're live streaming right now?
Are you really not afraid of others hearing this?
Like a lover caught in the act, Lu Xunji chuckled and nuzzled his earlobe before turning away.
Even though he couldn't hear Lu Xunji's explosive remarks, this ambiguous action undoubtedly ignited Ji Shi's anger.
He jumped to his feet, gritting his teeth as he said, " Lu Xunji, I'm warning you, don't go too far."
"You're warning me?" Lu Xunji's dark eyelashes drooped. "By what right do you warn me?"
"I—" Ji Shi's breathing became rapid, his chest heaving, unable to speak because Lu Xunji had blocked his way.
Shang Yan tapped the table and said in a deep voice, " Ji Shi."
Ji Shi glanced at Shang Yan, Ji Shi sat down angrily.
" Lu Xunji, you should tone it down," Shang Yan said coldly. "I don't care what mental problems you have, but now is not the time for you to be so self-righteous."
Lu Xunji was too lazy to argue, and simply raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Sorry."
A real man never tries to win with words.
The morning meeting was filled with heated debate, but in the end no one suggested changing the farmhouse's trademark name. So Shang Yan could only submit the trademark name to the program team with a unanimous vote.
A list was also sent along with it.
Director He opened the file, saw the trademark name, and his vision blurred. He asked the assistant director beside him, his expression indescribable, "Tell me, what kind of mental state were they in when they came up with this trademark name?"
Is this still a farmhouse inn? This is a farmhouse hate inn! The name itself has a crazy, take it or leave it.
The assistant director paused for a moment, then said, " Lu Xunji took it."
"I wouldn't believe you if you said Xie Ji didn't take it."
"Give me a sip of water to calm me down."
The assistant director nodded, brought him a glass of water, tested the temperature, and found it to be just right—not too cold and not too hot.
It won't cause any harm if it's knocked over.
After handing over the water, he handed over a list, saying, "These are the things Lu Xunji wanted. The points mall doesn't currently have these items, so he made a list."
Director He, holding a glass of water, finally calmed himself down and took the list from the assistant director, casually asking, "Anything not available in the points mall?"
To ensure the guests' well-being, the points mall was incredibly comprehensive, even providing diaper covers for babies. How could it be that Lu Xunji didn't have what he needed?
Director He flipped through the list. "I want to see what this kid wants... Nantong sex and AI instructor--!!!!"
Director He He's pupils trembled, his hand holding the water cup shook slightly, and the water in the cup instantly spilled out and onto his clothes.
By the time he realized what was happening, he had already recited most of the name of the first item.
He tossed the list three meters away in a flash, then turned to look at the assistant director in disbelief.
"What does he want? Say it again, what does he want?!"
Fortunately, there were no live-streaming cameras here, otherwise Director He would have lost face globally.
The assistant director silently picked up the item from the ground, his face also showing signs of grief.
If you run into someone like Lu Xunji while making a TV show, you're basically doomed.
"... So, should we add more books to the points mall?" The assistant director coughed and said, "The purchasing staff below are hesitant to make a decision, so they've come to ask you."
Director He, supporting his head, said, "My head hurts so much."
The assistant director comforted her, "Don't worry about the pain."
Director He: "I really can't understand it."
Assistant Director: "Then let's try to think of something again."
Director He: "I'm so angry!"
Assistant Director: "Don't be angry."
Director He glanced at him. "Transfer to human resources."
Assistant Director: "..."
Director He stared at the list for a long time before asking, "Do these books really exist in the world?"
Can this be published?
The assistant director rubbed his nose. "If we look hard enough, we should be able to find something similar."
Director He waved his hand. "Find it for him, and send it directly to him after you've found it. No need to put it on the points mall."
"Those points..."
Director He: "Give it to him for free."
The assistant director nodded and quickly arranged for someone to make the arrangements.
On the small island.
Xie Ji returned from the breeding area early in the morning. After taking a shower, he sat in the living room feeling a little bored.
Lu Xunji walked back from outside wearing a vest, followed by a group of staff members in work clothes.
"Put it here." Hearing Lu Xunji's indifferent voice, Xie Ji turned around from the sofa. "Thank you for your hard work."
The furniture movers, drenched in sweat, put the items down as instructed by Lu Xunji.
Xie Ji, ever the quick-witted one, scurried to the dining room, grabbed a few energy drinks from the refrigerator, and handed them to the staff moving things. "You've worked hard, have some water to cool down."
"Oh, thank you, thank you." Several workers took the drinks from Xie Ji's hands, nodded repeatedly, and looked at Lu Xunji, saying, "We'll bring the rest of the things over for you in a bit. Oh, and this, Director He asked me to give it to you."
The worker pulled a black plastic bag from a pile of furniture. Inside the bag was a neatly stacked pile of things, which, judging by its thickness, appeared to be several books.
Lu Xunji accepted the package with a calm expression, placing it along with the bag on the coffee table in the living room, and then turned around to begin unpacking the large pieces of furniture.
" Lu Xunji, let me help you." Xie Ji didn't even notice what was in the black bag before running over to help Lu Xunji: "Did you exchange all these things with points?"
"Hmm," Lu Xunji replied, "It's not a book."
Xie Ji bent down and peeled the wrapping paper off a wooden strip, casually asking, "What book?"
Lu Xunji didn't speak. When he looked up, he found that Lu Xunji had stopped taking apart the book and was sitting to the side writing something with his head down.
Xie Ji curiously leaned over for a look and found it was a drawing. Under Lu Xunji's sketches, it gradually emerged, and the whole design looked sunny and warm.
"Beautiful." Xie Ji, somewhat illiterate, gave a thumbs up, unsure of what else to say, but it truly was beautiful.
It has the feel of a sunny, spacious villa.
Lu Xunji glanced at him, then looked down, casually wrote "love" next to the drawing, and looked up at him again.
"..." Xie Ji blushed, thinking to himself that the young man's romantic and pure love story was so touching that if he weren't a straight man, he would have fallen for him by now.
After a long pause, he coughed hesitantly and said, " Lu Xunji, what... what do you mean by this?"
Lu Xunji: "I want to do it."
Xie Ji: "..."
This isn't pure love; it's pure lust.
Xie Ji felt he couldn't communicate with Lu Xunji at all, so he turned around and continued unpacking the pile of furniture packages.
Lu Xunji watched his retreating figure and continued to doodle on the design drafts.
Xie Ji was quiet for a while, but couldn't stay still. Even though he knew that Lu Xunji never said anything serious, he still couldn't help but chat with him.
" Lu Xunji, what kind of person do you like?"
Lu Xunji put down his pen, paused for a moment, and then continued, "If you're asking about my preferences in a partner, I'd like someone who's pretty and obedient, with a slim waist, fair skin, and preferably a bit muscular... well, because someone too thin can't handle me."
Xie Ji: "..."
They really do steer the conversation towards the bedroom.
"Then after our show ends, I'll introduce you to someone!" Xie Ji stood up and patted Lu Xunji on the shoulder. "I feel like your illness is caused by not having a steady partner."
Lu Xunji curled his lips into a smile, a hint of mockery in his eyes. "No need. I won't like anyone."
