The young man exuded a gentle temperament with a tall and straight figure akin to a bamboo shoot in the mountains, giving people a refreshing and cool sensation.
He quickly averted his gaze, and turned his head awkwardly.
He ‘diligently’ helped him carry the luggage and left.
He wore a T-shirt and jeans. The simple attire gave him a particularly masculine aura.
Because of the lack of scheduled itineraries in the past, his hair had always been cut short, easy to manage without frequent trimming for a styled look.
This highlighted his facial contours even more distinctly. His arms effortlessly lifted the suitcase, showcasing robust muscle lines that exuded strength.
Standing next to Chu Ge, they presented a stark contrast.
Chu Ge had grown up with a silver spoon in his mouth, but Gu Yi had literally come running out of the countryside to the mountains.
Saying that participating in variety shows was tough, but that kind of life posed no challenge for Gu Yi.
Almost everyone around him, while out with Chu Ge, urged Gu Yi to take good care of him. It seemed like neglecting Chu Ge would be a sin.
What was even more frightening was that Gu Yi seemed to have unconsciously accepted this brainwashing.
In his previous life, he had indeed felt disdain towards Chu Ge.
But in this life, it seemed there was no reason to harbor such deep hate towards him. He gestured for someone to fetch a blanket, intending to cover Chu Ge with it.
Chu Ge felt quite helpless and said, “Gu Yi, it’s quite hot today, and we’re heading south. There’s no need for this…”
He pursed his lips, abruptly stopping his words, but Gu Yi already understood. With a somewhat vacant “Oh,” he set the blanket aside.
“You should rest for a while first. We won’t have much idle time today,” Chu Ge reminded him.
Gu Yi acknowledged with a nod. He then noticed the young man putting on an eye mask and leaning back in his seat, preparing to rest for a while.
Gu Yi’s gaze involuntarily fell on those hands.
Chu Ge’s hands were indeed very beautiful, with slender joints and distinct bones, fair and tender, resembling a work of art.
Gu Yi sensed movement beside him and withdrew his gaze.
Leaning to the side, he rested for a while.
They started filming right after landing today.
When Chu Ge woke up, Gu Yi was looking out the window, preparing to disembark.
The temperature in the city today was high, so Chu Ge took out the prepared sunscreen spray before disembarking.
As Gu Yi was about to leave, Chu Ge stopped him directly.
“We’re filming outside today. Come here and apply some sunscreen protection,” Chu Ge said.
Since Gu Yi wasn’t wearing much makeup anyway, and the sun was scorching today, it was necessary.
Gu Yi looked at Chu Ge with some resistance, saying, “It’s not necessary. I’m fine.”
“You’re not fine. It seems you haven’t experienced the harsh realities of society. At the very least, your face is your livelihood,” Chu Ge retorted, leading him to a seat outside.
Cameras were already around, so Gu Yi couldn’t be too harsh with Chu Ge. He could only let Chu Ge grab him and spray his face.
“Close your eyes.”
“Alright, wait for me to get you touched up later.”
Chu Ge rolled up his sleeves and gently patted Gu Yi’s cheeks, forehead, and even his neck. His touch was gentle, his hands were soft, enveloping Gu Yi as if invading his personal space.
In the eyes of others, Gu Yi’s expression seemed grim, and he even tried to evade, like a child unwilling to cooperate in getting cleaned up.
Chu Ge persisted until Gu Yi’s cheeks were cleaned. Just then, two more people arrived at the door.
They were the other two senior regular guests, An Lei and Qin Liwen.
When the two saw Chu Ge helping Gu Yi, they felt that these two younger brothers were quite amusing.
Of course, these were minor details. The main thing was Chu Ge’s status, which meant those around him were destined to get along well with him.
After Chu Ge greeted everyone politely, they all walked towards the car.
Soon after, someone brought over some cards.
Thoughtfully offering a pen, they said, “To better understand each other, please write down your likes and dislikes.”
As they finished speaking, Chu Ge blinked and glanced at Gu Yi.
Gu Yi, who had never participated in variety shows and missed Chu Ge’s gaze, began writing vigorously.
Chu Ge sighed inwardly and started writing as well.
Unexpectedly, once they finished writing, the program team promptly collected the cards.
This season introduces new guests who are completely unfamiliar with these rules and do not resist.
At this moment, the director began explaining the task.
“In the previous two seasons, people often said our program lacks humanity, so this season there have been some reforms in certain systems. These are tickets to the amusement park, and this month’s living expenses will depend on how much you can earn today. Each activity will have a clearly marked price.”
This sounded quite exciting.
Go to the amusement park, play activities, and get paid for it. Is there really such a good thing in the world?
Immediately, several people agreed.
However, when everyone received the list of activities they were assigned to play, they couldn’t help but furrow their brows.
An Lei, also a veteran in variety shows, familiar with the director, spoke directly: “I thought the director had softened up, but I didn’t expect you to be as unscrupulous as ever.”
These task activities were clearly based on the “likes and dislikes” information they had just provided.
The more someone dislikes something, the more likely it is to be included in their assigned tasks.
For example, Chu Ge wrote down “fear of heights” on the card, which directly assigned two people to complete the task—the roller coaster.
An Lei has been on a recent weight loss journey and originally thought that enduring some hardship on this program could help her lose some weight.
The tasks on these cards were also quite intriguing. An Lei’s task was to consume a certain amount of calories.
An Lei glanced at it and realized that these high-calorie items could fuel her for a whole day. It’s not bad to enjoy delicious food, but isn’t the mentality of this program a bit too harsh?
Of course, the program team didn’t want to take responsibility. They just said, “Everyone, don’t be angry. This is a random assignment, maybe it’s fate. However, if everyone has enough funds, you can choose to refuse to complete the task. Today, the program team also has its own tasks, which is to live stream the daily schedule of each guest.”
Enough funds?
Is that so?
Everyone had already put away their wallets and communication devices long ago, so how could they possibly have enough funds?
Chu Ge handled it smoothly, completing the task as soon as it was assigned.
Originally, Gu Yi also had his own task, but he wasn’t in a rush. Instead, he went directly with Chu Ge to catch the ride.
The camera crew followed the two of them, and the live stream had already started.
Soon, the live stream room was flooded with viewers, and the barrage of comments dazzled the eyes.
“Do you fear heights?” Chu Ge asked sideways after fastening his seatbelt. “I don’t fear heights,” Gu Yi replied.
It’s just that Gu Yi isn’t very fond of these intense entertainment activities; he’s simply accompanying Chu Ge.
However, since he had never tried this before, he decided to treat it as an experience.
