How could he possibly think of such trivial matters.
In his previous life, he had indeed watched that variety show.
He was basically a simpleton doing odd jobs on the show.
He had grace and artistic height.
But in the mundane aspects of life, like dealing with everyday necessities, his weaknesses were completely exposed.
He suffered from serious adaptation issues.
Since then, until his death, he never participated in variety shows again.
By the time he brought back the things he needed to the residence, it was already completely dark.
After walking for a day under the scorching sun, he was exhausted.
Fortunately for Chu Ge, Gu Yi took the initiative to take care of everything. Today wasn’t bad either, because they weren’t hungry.
This guesthouse had two rooms, one for girls and one for boys.
The dormitory was spacious, easily accommodating three to five people sleeping, which seemed to include the guest place.
However, such openness compromised privacy.
After Chu Ge finished showering, Gu Yi leaned on the sofa looking tired, almost falling asleep. Chu Ge walked over and said, “Gu Yi, I’m done showering.”
Gu Yi then opened his eyes sleepily, stood up, and went into the room.
In a daze, he walked into the bathroom and turned on the water before realizing he forgot to bring his change of clothes.
Chu Ge had picked up his phone and was checking if anyone had messaged him today. Throughout the day, due to the live stream, this program had practically dominated the screens. Chu Ge knew about selling signed photos with Gu Yi.
Now, all that remained was news from Lin Mo’s team.
Someone informed Chu Ge that Lin Mo seemed to be in a bad mood recently and asked what had happened.
It seemed this person knew Chu Ge and Lin Mo had a good relationship and was fishing for information.
Chu Ge replied calmly: Since I’ve chosen to be an actor, I must be prepared to act professionally. If my mood affects the whole crew, should everyone accommodate me?
In the entertainment industry, everyone had an extra set of ears, so naturally, some heard about Chu Ge’s indifference towards Lin Mo.
Therefore, they were all watching and listening. Upon hearing Chu Ge clarify the matter personally, they knew how to proceed in the future.
Just as he finished replying to messages, Chu Ge heard a sound from near the bathroom door. “Chu Ge.”
Chu Ge stood up and walked over to the door, asking, “What’s wrong?”
Gu Yi opened the door slightly and asked, “Did you turn off the cameras?” Chu Ge suddenly remembered the cameras in the room.
“Not yet,” he replied.
“Go turn them off,” Gu Yi instructed.
Chu Ge glanced up at him, realizing there was something Gu Yi wanted to discuss privately. He then turned off the cameras.
“What’s the matter?” Chu Ge asked.
“I forgot to bring my clothes. Can you bring the suitcase for me?” Gu Yi’s tone was calm as usual, but he avoided looking directly at Chu Ge.
The young man’s moist eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of a smirk tugging at his lips, a touch of mischievous.
“Okay.”
With a single agreement, the person walked over two minutes later.
Gu Yi wanted to get the suitcase, but he saw the person handing him pajamas instead. With his right hand, those slender, white fingers were hooked around the edge of his navy blue underwear.
Then, he casually handed it over to him.
“Here.” Chu Ge looked up at him with a righteous air, absolutely no other intentions, really! A complex expression flickered in Gu Yi’s glossy eyes. He gritted his teeth and took it from him. Then, he closed the door.
Chu Ge rubbed his nose, wondering if he was angry?
Getting angry so quickly?
Hasn’t he done anything to him yet?
After Gu Yi came out, Chu Ge had already laid down.
He was still kind enough to spread out Gu Yi’s blanket beside him, not too close but also not too far away.
Chu Ge was so understanding; Gu Yi probably wouldn’t feel comfortable moving away from him.
After Gu Yi lay down and turned off the lights, he disliked the pitch darkness and took out a dim night light to place in front of himself.
It was already past midnight, and everyone must have been asleep by now. It was the autumn harvest season.
During the journey here, everyone could only guess vaguely about what they would be doing tomorrow.
So, it was time to rest well.
As Gu Yi lay down, Chu Ge beside him moved closer towards him.
Gu Yi was startled for a moment, then turned his back to him.
“Gu Yi, now that the day is over, do you have any thoughts or gains?” Chu Ge asked. Thoughts or gains.
People’s hearts are complex, would they count?
But Chu Ge was indeed cunning.
Even now, the program team probably couldn’t figure out whether he still had money left. Tonight, he came to Gu Yi for some conversation.
Unfortunately, Gu Yi’s answers were also what Chu Ge had prepared him to say early on.
“Originally, I didn’t earn much money, so there shouldn’t be much left. However… Chu Ge is scheming, who knows?”
This sentence once again silenced the program team.
He seemed to express something, yet it seemed like he hadn’t said anything at all. “What do you think I should feel?” Gu Yi closed his eyes and asked lightly. “In reality, hanging out with me means there’s meat to eat.”
This statement sounded very boastful, but Gu Yi somehow heard a different meaning, wondering if he had misunderstood.
He turned to face Chu Ge and asked, “Master Chu, are you suggesting something to me? Are you trying to deceive me?”
Under the dim light, Chu Ge squinted and smiled. He didn’t deny it, but instead lifted a hand to grasp Gu Yi’s arm. After a moment, he softly spoke, “Young man, if you want a bright and promising future, you should walk the right path. Such cunning words don’t suit you.”
After saying that, Chu Ge pulled his eye mask over his eyes and went to sleep directly, seemingly forgetting who had provoked whom in the first place.
—Early the Next Morning—
Chu Ge woke up early.
The morning in the countryside was refreshing and crisp.
He stood by the window and breathed in the fresh air for a moment before turning to find Gu Yi.
Today is their first day here. Although they were men, it didn’t make sense to have their seniors cook.
At least on the first day, they should make an effort.
Therefore, Chu Ge decided to give this opportunity to Gu Yi.
He pulled Gu Yi along and asked, “Gu Yi, can you cook breakfast?”
Having just looked around downstairs, no one else had woken up yet.
Gu Yi replied and got up to wash up, asking Chu Ge as he did, “What would you like to eat?” “We didn’t buy much yesterday. I’ll organize while you make something light.” “Okay.”
With roles assigned, they changed clothes and headed into the kitchen.
It must be said that the program team was quite harsh. Originally, there were supposed to be groceries and daily necessities here, but upon knowing they had sufficient funds, they actually cleared everything out overnight.
It seemed like a form of retaliation against Chu Ge, and they even deliberately leaked this information.
Chu Ge sorted the ingredients and placed them in the refrigerator. When he looked up, he saw Gu Yi already wearing an apron, and standing in front of the stove.
