They started drawing from left to right.
Xie Li was the first one.
When the staff member brought the box forward, Xie Li first clasped his hands together in front of his chest in a prayer gesture.
He closed his eyes obediently and made a wish, then opened them and reached in with a sweet smile.
He wanted to be paired with Pei Heng.
That way, he could have a proper talk with Pei Heng and explain the slander Shen Yan had spread about him in front of Pei Heng.
He pulled out a pink bracelet from the box and smiled as he put it on his wrist.
His skin was fair, and pink made it look even more delicate.
After putting it on, he smiled sweetly and obediently at the camera. “I really like this color!”
『Wow, Xie Li is really pale. Pink is such a picky color for skin tone!』
『My baby smells so good. I want to kiss him.』
『Looking forward to Teacher Lu drawing pink too, so he and Li Bao can run toward each other!』
As soon as he smiled, his fans immediately flooded the screen.
Xie Li was standing next to Lu Xingchuan.
Lu Xingchuan shot Shen Yan a vicious glare, then silently prayed in his heart: let me be paired with Pei Heng.
That way, he would have enough time to explain all the frustrating things from before to Pei Heng.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Xingchuan reached in.
He pulled out a pink bracelet.
Xie Li’s eyes immediately flashed with deep disappointment, but he still leaned in. “Brother Xingchuan and I are in the same group. I’ll be relying on Brother Xingchuan later.”
Lu Xingchuan was disappointed too.
But being in a group with Xie Li still made him happy. He smiled and said, “Let’s work hard together.”
The camera moved away from the two of them and turned to Pei Heng.
Pei Heng let out a huge sigh of relief and muttered softly, “Thank goodness.”
『Hahahahaha, President Pei is so real. He’s making it perfectly clear he doesn’t want to be in a group with those two scumbags.』
『I really hate Pei Heng. He came to the show just to target the guests. If you can’t play, then don’t come.』
『Because of his own little scheme, everyone couldn’t record the show normally and had to keep running back and forth. Is it not normal for him to be targeted?』
『I’m saying it again: Xie Li is very pure. He has no ulterior motives. He just kindly wanted to cook for everyone.』
『May your life be surrounded by good people like Xie Li, and may you be locked together forever.』
The bullet comments started fighting again.
Pei Heng pulled out a green bracelet from the box.
Without saying much, he silently put the bracelet on his wrist.
Then it was Shen Yan’s turn to draw.
He pulled out a bright green bracelet from the box in one go.
It just happened to match Pei Heng’s group.
Lu Xingchuan’s eyes sparked with jealousy and anger. He couldn’t help saying, “Shen Yan is really lucky. On his first group draw, he’s already paired with President Pei.”
Shen Yan raised an eyebrow at Lu Xingchuan. “I may never have been famous in this life, but I’ve been cuckolded. I’m satisfied.”
Xie Li immediately bit his lip. “Shen Yan, you really misunderstood me. Brother Xingchuan and I are really completely innocent.”
Shen Yan… had already turned to look at Bai Jing and Song Qianshan drawing their bracelets.
As if he were intensely interested in the suspense of the result.
Pei Heng couldn’t help laughing. “I really want to know who Bai Jing gets grouped with.”
Xie Li: …
Lu Xingchuan: …
The grouping was over.
“Next is the segment where the guests look into each other’s eyes and speak from the heart. Please, the guests who have successfully formed groups, hold hands with your partner.”
Lu Xingchuan looked at Xie Li. “Finally, you came back to the country.”
『Ahhhh!』
『So sweet!』
『Are these two for real?』
『For real my ass. Xie Li has been stressing that he and Lu Xingchuan are innocent.』
Xie Li looked up at Lu Xingchuan, his eyes full of tenderness, but what he said was, “I hope to have a pleasant cooperation with Brother Xingchuan.”
Lu Xingchuan didn’t think there was anything wrong with that.
Xie Li’s gaze at him proved everything.
Nearby.
Bai Jing took the initiative to hold Song Qianshan’s hand, looked up at her, and said, “I’m hungry.”
Song Qianshan nodded seriously. “Me too!”
The director: …
『Hahahahaha』
『So real』
The camera shifted to Shen Yan and Pei Heng.
Shen Yan eagerly grabbed Pei Heng’s hand, his eyes anxious. “I need to pee.”
It was all because the game had gone badly just now and he had drunk too much water.
He really couldn’t hold it anymore.
Pei Heng: …
The director: …
『Hahahahaha!』
『I’m dying of laughter. Damn, I just sprayed luosifen everywhere.』
Pei Heng smiled. “What a coincidence, I need to too.”
The director rubbed his forehead.
“Everyone has one minute to solve your own problems. After one minute, the game officially begins. You need to find the ingredients the production team has prepared for you in this villa and its courtyard.
“The timer is thirty minutes.
“You eat whatever you find. Any guests who don’t find anything won’t get to eat anything.”
As the director spoke, Shen Yan and Pei Heng had already dashed toward the stairs to go pee.
Shen Yan comforted Pei Heng. “It’s okay. If we really can’t find anything, we can still steal.”
Pei Heng was completely on the same page. “I think so too!”
The director: …
He added through gritted teeth, “You are not allowed to steal other guests’ ingredients!”
『Hahahahaha!』
『They spotted the loophole in the game right away.』
One minute later.
The game officially began.
Bai Jing and Song Qianshan, holding hands, went straight for the refrigerator and smoothly found something in the double-door refrigerator… three shrimps.
Bai Jing rolled her eyes on the spot. “The production team is such trash.”
Song Qianshan nodded in agreement while putting the three shrimps into the basket hanging over her arm.
The two of them continued searching for other ingredients.
Shen Yan and Pei Heng, still holding hands, planned to look around the courtyard.
Xie Li wanted to know what Shen Yan and Pei Heng were saying, so he pulled along Lu Xingchuan and kept getting intentionally or unintentionally close to Pei Heng.
Lu Xingchuan didn’t know what Xie Li was thinking, but he himself really wanted to know what Shen Yan and Pei Heng were talking about, so without needing Xie Li to pull him along, he stayed close behind Shen Yan and Pei Heng’s group.
“Why do you keep following us? Are you trying to steal our ingredients? The director already said no stealing!” Shen Yan said warily, looking at Lu Xingchuan.
Lu Xingchuan sneered. “The entire villa area is open to all guests. What do you mean, following you? Anyone can come here.”
Xie Li tried to smooth things over, smiling at Shen Yan and Pei Heng. “The four of us can cooperate too.”
Shen Yan and Pei Heng exchanged a glance.
They were clearly people who had never met before.
And yet, for some reason, they just instantly understood each other.
In each other’s eyes, they saw their own thoughts.
Pei Heng acted casually and pulled Shen Yan along. “Let’s see what’s over here.”
He led Shen Yan toward the doorway.
Lu Xingchuan and Xie Li also moved toward the doorway.
Just as Lu Xingchuan and Xie Li took two more steps forward.
The two people in front suddenly shouted in unison.
“Run!”
Whoosh…
A gust of wind.
The two of them sprinted off.
Behind them.
Xie Li and Lu Xingchuan both had ugly expressions.
『Hahahaha, Lu Xingchuan and Xie Li are about to crack apart.』
『Shen Yan and Pei Heng are way too outrageous. Can’t they just get along peacefully with the guests?』
『The villa area is so big. They could go anywhere else, but they insist on going wherever those two go. How is that any different from a clingy dog?』
『Lu Xingchuan, what are you doing? Can’t you just date Li Bao properly? Why keep chasing after other people’s groups? I’m speechless.』
