Chapter 11 Curiosity Killed the Cat
Chen Yuan noticed Zhang Jianjian's gaze and quickly turned his head to look elsewhere.
curiosity kills the cat.
After spending the day together, he did notice that Zhang Jianjian's personality was just as she had described. Although she seemed quiet, she had a curious mind.
Moreover, Zhang Jianjian was wearing a white tank top today, the hem of which just reached his waistline, paired with light blue jeans, making him look youthful and energetic.
Her hair, tied in a high ponytail, swayed with her movements.
Zhang Jianjian was even more annoyed when she saw Chen Yuan turn his head away. Was this guy looking down on her?
Thinking of this, Zhang Jianjian pointed at Chen Yuan in front of everyone and said, "I choose Chen Yuan as my partner."
"Me?" Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked at her in surprise.
"That's right, it's you." Zhang Jianjian nodded, then said with a smile, "Please take care of me for the next two days."
"..."
Chen Yuan was speechless, but then he thought about it and realized that it wasn't so bad, since they were going to be matched anyway.
Zhang Jianjian's choice seemed somewhat unexpected to others. Was this the reward for persistent pestering?
Lu Zeyan took a deep breath, feeling frustrated. He felt he had never been so annoyed by anyone, especially since he had been outmaneuvered time and time again.
Despite his good manners, he had a dark expression at this moment.
Ji Chengyu and the others glanced at Lu Zeyan silently, sighing inwardly. In a sense, competing with Chen Yuan was unpleasant regardless of winning or losing.
A creator who has been working at the company for three years without producing a single work, and who also seems to be in modest financial condition.
Everyone noticed Chen Ye's faded jeans and the round-neck cartoon T-shirt he was wearing; the cartoon character's skin had peeled off.
This was obviously caused by washing it many times.
Although everyone was curious about how Chen Yuan got on the show, it didn't matter. Ji Chengyu and the others tacitly agreed to avoid going up against Chen Yuan.
Winning doesn't feel like anything, but losing is even more embarrassing.
"Then it's Xu Zhiyi's turn."
Xu Zhiyi glanced at Chen Yuan, then her gaze swept over the other male guests before finally settling on Ji Chengyu. She calmly said, "I choose Ji Chengyu."
Upon hearing this, Ji Chengyu opened his mouth wide in silence, making sure he hadn't misheard, before he came to his senses.
Although Xu Zhiyi is very beautiful and has the girl-next-door type, what frustrates him is that he is actually two years older than Xu Zhiyi.
He was standing next to Xu Zhiyi, and Xu Zhiyi was the younger brother.
"It's an honor to work with you, Zhiyi!" Ji Chengyu said with a smile.
Xu Zhiyi didn't care about Ji Chengyu's forced smile. She nodded slightly and continued to flip through the book in her hand, which she had found in the study of the villa.
"Then I'll choose Jiang Yichen." Lin Wanxing, who was the third to choose, directly designated Jiang Yichen and then smiled apologetically at Shen Zhici.
In an instant, the first three teams were all thrown into disarray.
Of the remaining two female guests, Meng Shuran chose Shen Zhici, while Su Qingyuan chose Lu Zeyan.
"Okay, the final five groups are as follows."
"Zhang Jianjian and Chen Yuan, Xu Zhiyi and Ji Chengyu, Lin Wanxing and Jiang Yichen, Meng Shuran and Shen Zhici, and Su Qingyuan and Lu Zeyan."
"Next, let's start planning tomorrow's activities."
"Tomorrow, we have prepared five activity routes for everyone. You need to complete them as quickly as possible, and then, according to the order of completion, you will receive different date rewards in the evening."
"Then, let the female guests continue to choose their routes, and the order will follow the order in which they played rock-paper-scissors."
The butler spoke in a calm and unhurried voice.
Then, he placed the five task cards in his hand on the table, and Zhang Jianjian was the first to choose.
Seeing this, the five female guests came to the table, picked up the cards and looked at them. Soon, Zhang Jianjian decided on the route he wanted to take.
"I choose route number three."
"Alright, then please welcome the next female guest, Xu Zhiyi," the butler said.
"I choose number five," Xu Zhiyi said.
"Then I'll take number two." Lin Wanxing quickly made her choice; choosing one of the three was not bad.
"I'll take four numbers," Meng Shuran said without hesitation, choosing between number one and number four.
The remaining option, number one, was a very unusual activity route. Su Qingyuan was forced to accept the last choice, and upon seeing the details, she sighed helplessly.
Her group's first task is to be responsible for the breakfast and lunch of ten guests tomorrow, and also to set up the banquet venue.
This means that she and Lu Zeyan will need to work all day tomorrow.
What I envy most is Zhang Jianjian's task.
"By the way, before we set off tomorrow, please ask the female guests not to tell the male guests about the mission details," the butler suddenly reminded them.
"Huh?" Ji Chengyu and the others who had been eagerly waiting were immediately stunned.
"By the way, each male guest will receive a postcard shortly. Please fill it out and put it in the mailbox of the corresponding female guest."
After the butler finished speaking, he left the camera's view.
Chen Yuan blinked, a sense of foreboding creeping over him.
It was now 10 p.m., and with the housekeeper leaving, the first day of filming officially came to an end.
However, for Chen Yuan and the other male guests, their filming was not yet over.
After the five female guests returned to their rooms, the five male guests each received a postcard from the production team. In addition, there were five mailboxes placed in the living room, each corresponding to one of the five female guests.
In the living room of the villa, Chen Yuan and the others sat separately, each looking at the postcards in their hands.
Chen Yuan looked at the little note tucked inside the postcard and smiled helplessly. They even gave him a task before he was about to leave work.
However, he was familiar with this segment; in the variety shows that Lanxing had watched before, there was indeed a segment where the female guests wrote letters to each other.
But what's the point of asking him to write this to Xu Zhiyi now?!
Chen Yuan roared inwardly, cursing the director. He would have preferred to let him continue to harass Zhang Jianjian, but why did he suddenly have to betray him?
After calming down, Chen Yuan picked up a pen and began to write.
In fact, the so-called postcard is just a simple expression of one's thoughts and feelings about the female guest they like.
Fortunately, I teamed up with Xu Zhiyi today, so writing it down shouldn't be a problem.
Chen Yuan wrote quickly and finished in no time. Then he got up and went to Xu Zhiyi's mailbox to drop it in.
"For Xu Zhiyi?" Ji Chengyu asked in surprise.
"Wait, buddy, what's this?" Even the usually quiet Shen Zhici was somewhat taken aback.
"I teamed up with her today, so isn't it normal for me to write to her?" Chen Yuan asked, puzzled by the others' surprise.
"..."
These words stunned Ji Chengyu and the others. After thinking about it carefully, they realized that it made perfect sense. So they crossed out their names and changed them.
Chen Yuan scratched his head, wondering what they were doing. But now that he was off work, all he wanted to do was go home, take a shower, and lie down comfortably.
More than an hour later, around 11:00, Zhang Jianjian and the others came down to the living room to check their mailboxes.
