That's really bad luck.
The director breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that all the guests had finally gathered safely.
He patted his chest, overwhelmed with emotion.
This day was probably the most emotionally turbulent he had experienced since becoming a director.
The director had originally planned to give the guests another round of challenges that evening, but now he feels it's unnecessary.
After all, the various program effects of the day's live broadcast had exceeded his expectations.
With that in mind, the director decided not to disturb the guests' precious rest time any further and turned to leave discreetly.
Inside a separate tent on the other side, Gu Jinhuai was checking the signing information of the project contract.
Not long after, Gu Jinhuai, who was focused on his work, was interrupted by a message.
It was sent by Lu Sicheng: [My brother suddenly went on your show for some reason. If he messes things up and accidentally offends you, please remember to go easy on him.]
Seeing that Lu Haoming hadn't replied, Lu Sicheng knew that his phone had probably been taken away by the production team, so he sent a message to Gu Jinhuai.
Gu Jinhuai replied with "[OK]", then quickly finished his work before closing his laptop, getting up, and leaving the tent.
His gaze unconsciously drifted towards the beach, where he saw a slender figure standing on the shore, gazing into the distance. It was Chu Yu, standing there lost in thought.
At this moment, the assistant who had just been sent out on an errand came over and whispered a reminder to Gu Jinhuai:
" President Gu, the fireworks and sparklers you asked me to prepare have been expedited and should arrive in about ten minutes."
Gu Jinhuai nodded and said nothing more. He then walked towards Chu Yu, leaving footprints along the beach.
Lost in thought, Chu Yu sensed the movement behind her and instinctively stopped what she was thinking. She turned around and was surprised to see Gu Jinhuai walking towards her.
At this moment, the camera was still filming the live broadcast, and Gu Jinhuai didn't seem to care about avoiding suspicion, stopping right next to Chu Yu.
The occasional sea breeze rustled Chu Yu's skirt, bringing her back to her senses.
Chu Yu turned back to gaze at the waves, and asked casually, " President Gu, are you done with your work?"
Gu Jin's gaze fell on Chu Yu's face. "Hmm. I haven't asked yet, how were you doing during those years abroad?"
After Chu Yu went abroad to study, Gu Jinhuai and she lost contact.
Chu Yu smiled. "It's alright, everything went smoothly, otherwise I wouldn't have had the chance to stand here and chat with you."
To an outsider, this answer would seem perfectly reasonable.
But this left Gu Jinhuai somewhat disappointed.
He understood Chu Yu's personality well; Chu Yu would only joke, tease, and even banter with people he knew and was close to.
Chu Yu was very polite to him now, so polite that Gu Jinhuai felt that there was a great distance between them.
At this moment, their conversation, which contained a wealth of information, was being broadcast live to the live stream room.
[Holy crap! Judging from this conversation, President Gu knew Chu Yu before??]
[Oh no, I'm starting to think the rumors circulating online that Chu Yu is the heiress of the Chu Group are actually true. Otherwise, how could she even know President Gu?]
Why do I feel like there's something strange about the atmosphere between these two? They seem very familiar with each other, but there's also an awkwardness between strangers.
Neither Gu Jinhuai nor Chu Yu spoke again, and they fell into silence.
Then a cheer erupted from next door, "Oh my god! Brother Jinhuai, that's so romantic! How did you know I love fireworks and sparklers!"
All that could be heard was Lu Haoming's joyful voice coming from the other side.
It turned out that the fireworks that Gu Jinhuai had specially asked his assistant to prepare had been transported over by speedboat.
Actually, Chu Yu used to love watching fireworks by the sea, Gu Jinhuai's original intention was for Chu Yu.
"Brother Jinhuai, Sister Yu, come over and set off fireworks!" Lu Haoming shouted again.
What should have been a great opportunity for conversation was thus interrupted.
Gu Jinhuai: "..."
He's starting to doubt whether keeping Lu Haoming around was the right decision.
When Chu Yu heard about sparklers and fireworks, a look of surprise flashed across her face, and she even glanced at Gu Jinhuai across from her.
However, Gu Jinhuai's attention was completely drawn to Lu Haoming at this moment, and he did not notice Chu Yu's gaze.
Two minutes later, led by Lu Haoming, the warm-up king, everyone received a few sparklers.
"Aaaaaaah, Chu Chen! Come and chase me!"
After lighting the sparkler, Lu Haoming instantly let loose and started running wildly on the beach, the sparkler in his hand releasing a faint starlight.
Chu Chen: "..."
Why did he have to be so foolish as to call over that idiot Lu Haoming?
But before the internal monologue could even finish, Chu Chen took off chasing after Lu Haoming, yelling, "Aaaaaah, Lu Haoming! You stop right there!"
Now look what's happened! The two idiots started running around the beach with sparklers in their hands.
While other couples are usually seen chasing and laughing on the beach, showing off their sweet affection, these two completely shattered the conventional image of love.
Chu Yu, who witnessed this scene, was speechless.
So, what were my parents thinking when they insisted on having this younger brother for me?
Xu Mengying, who had gone next door to get a lighter, ran back, " Sister Chu, Sister An Ya, I'll light your sparklers for you."
An Yu, who was shorter, jumped up anxiously, "Me too! Me too!"
Perhaps infected by the joyful atmosphere, the Wen siblings stopped causing trouble and leisurely lit sparklers, each enjoying the night view of the beach.
