I put you on a dating reality show, but I didn't make you a viral sensation!

The production team quickly led everyone to the villa by the sea, where they selected their names in order of ranking.

Lu Xiao and Su Man chose the two rooms with the best views without hesitation, while Lin Zhou and Jiang Muxue each chose the remaining two sea-view rooms.

Actually, the layout of the room is almost the same as the first one, except that the terrace faces a slightly different direction, but you can still see the blue sea and white sand when you open the window.

The remaining rooms were basically the same. Jiang Yi chose room number three, and finally glanced at Lin Zhou with a somewhat dissatisfied expression, but ultimately did not show any emotion.

After assigning rooms, the group returned to the temporary rest area in the villa.

The female guests found a shady bench to sit on and bent down to take off their shoes and pour out the sand that had accidentally gotten into their shoes during the competition.

The cameraman once again gave a group close-up, focusing the lens on the female guests' feet.

Holy crap! The photographer is spot on! This deserves a huge thumbs up!

Step on me! Step on me all you want, sister!

I really want to lick it.

[The convergence point ahead! My mouth is practically watering!]

【You guys are all disgusting.】

[Who was just spamming the comments section saying they wanted to touch his abs?]

Beautiful things are meant to be appreciated! If you can't even appreciate them, you're a gold digger!

The female guests were completely unaware of the change in the camera. After cleaning the sand out of their shoes, they got up, patted their skirts, and discussed going to the storeroom to get their luggage.

Everyone's suitcases were placed not far from the villa and kept by the staff. Each suitcase was labeled with the guest's name.

The boys were fine, since it was summer and clothes didn't take up much space, so they mostly carried one suitcase. Jiang Yi was the exception; he brought two suitcases and a backpack.

The girls' situation is different. Each of them has a lot of luggage, since they're going to be filming a show for a month. They need to bring clothes, skincare products, and sunscreen.

It's impossible to move everything in one go.

And so, it was time for the male guests to try and win over the other guests again.

This kind of segment where male and female guests help each other is the easiest way to attract fans who ship them as a couple. The show's cameramen won't miss it, keeping the camera focused on the guests the whole time.

Jiang Yi could never forget his original intention for appearing on the show.

He walked over to Xia Wanxing, a smile he thought was gentle on his face, and asked with feigned concern:

"Wanxing, your suitcase looks heavy. Shall I help you carry it?"

A hint of displeasure flashed in Xia Wanxing's eyes. Weren't these words a veiled criticism that she was spoiled and had many flaws?

However, she didn't show it on her face and politely declined:

"No need, Teacher Jiang. You brought a lot of things too. I can handle it myself."

"It's okay, I'll get it later. We guys should help girls carry things. How can a girl carry such heavy things?"

Xia Wanxing's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, and she felt even more uncomfortable.

She wasn't familiar with Jiang Yi to begin with, and before this, she didn't even have his contact information. Now that he was using the camera as an excuse, she could only nod slightly.

"Thank you, Teacher Jiang."

"Of course."

Jiang Yi immediately put on a gentlemanly expression and walked to the two suitcases with Xia Wanxing's name on them.

Since the suitcases are all placed on the shelves, you need to take them down from there first.

Jiang Yi walked to the largest suitcase.

He intended to lift it with one hand and strike a relaxed and stylish pose for the camera, but as soon as he pulled out the suitcase, he felt a little unsteady and stumbled, almost bumping into the photographer behind him.

This action drew the attention of the people around him, and Jiang Yi's smile froze.

He was only thinking about showing off, and he didn't expect the box to be much heavier than he had imagined.

Damn, is there some kind of rock in here? How can it be so heavy?

But since he had already said it, he naturally couldn't show it on his face, otherwise he would have lost face.

He had no choice but to grit his teeth and grab the handle of another suitcase, pretending to lift it up easily, if you ignored his flushed face.

"Teacher Jiang, be careful not to twist your ankle."

Xia Wanxing simply gave him a brief reminder, without showing any intention of going up to help.

After lunch and what just happened, her opinion of Jiang Yi began to plummet.

Why force yourself to do something you're not good at, only to cause them suffering as well?

But the fans of the two didn't care about any of that. What they saw was Jiang Yi gentlemanly helping Xia Wanxing carry her suitcase, showing his thoughtfulness, and they all said they were shipping them.

Wow, this guy is so handsome! He's got such boyfriend potential! I love him!

[I'm totally shipping them! Jiang Yi's gaze towards Wan Xing is so doting! I'm totally shipping Yi Xing!]

I love guys who proactively help girls carry their things; it shows their character in the details!

Of course, there were also some more level-headed netizens in the comments section.

[What kind of boyfriend material is this? He even turned red while carrying a suitcase. Couldn't he at least make it look convincing?]

[What era are we living in? People still say "boys should help girls carry things," as if girls can't carry them themselves?]

[Exactly, helping someone is a favor, not helping is one's right. How did it become a "duty" for a guy? It's completely unnecessary.]

[It's just moving a box, there's no need to escalate it to this moral high ground, really, there's no need for that.]

The comments section split into two camps, arguing fiercely.

After Jiang Yi helped Xia Wanxing put away her luggage, Xia Wanxing saw that he was struggling, so she finally stopped being cold and took another small suitcase from him, saying softly, "I can handle the rest myself. Teacher Jiang, please go and get your luggage first."

These words gave him a way out, and Jiang Yi quickly nodded in agreement. Then, the two of them walked towards the dormitory one after the other.

Lu Xiao and Shen Jiashu each helped the female guests who had just teamed up with them carry their luggage. After saying goodbye to each other, they followed Jiang Yi and the others towards the dormitory.

As a result, only Lin Zhou and Jiang Muxue remained at the place where they were moving their luggage.

"Are these yours?"

After Lin Zhou finished collecting his luggage, he pointed to the two suitcases, one large and one small, in the corner.

"Um."

Jiang Muxue nodded gently.

"Shall I carry the bigger one for you?"

"Thanks."

"You don't need to keep saying thank you, aren't we friends?"

"Um."

Lin Zhou smiled, bent down and picked up the large box. He tested its weight and didn't find it too heavy. Then, he put one in each hand and took the lead in walking out.

Jiang Muxue watched his retreating figure, a beautiful smile subtly curving her lips, and quickly jogged after him.
