I was slacking off on a dating reality show when the female guests treated me like a treasure chest.
Chapter 11 The Secrets of Socializing
Liu Ting swallowed the last bite of pudding, blinked, and looked at Chen Nian with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong?"
She thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed in surprise, "You mean the thing about Tang Xi giving up her movie tickets?"
Chen Nian nodded, saving him the awkwardness of having to speak.
"what!"
"Really?" Liu Ting looked surprised, then smiled awkwardly. "I was just saying it offhand. Besides, it's about time I went to see it."
Upon hearing this, Chen Nian frowned, feeling that what the other person said made sense; it was indeed too hasty. But when he thought about the 20,000 yuan reward he would receive if he completed it, he really couldn't bear to part with it!
Keep in mind that his monthly salary is only a little over 5,000 yuan, and he might not be able to save 20,000 yuan in a year.
"Alright, that's true." After a long pause, Chen Nian finally spoke up, "Since we've already made an appointment, there's really no way around it."
He was already awkward, and if Liu Ting hadn't brought it up, he probably wouldn't have spoken up. They had already made an appointment, and most people wouldn't be able to ask for the seat back halfway through.
"You really want to go?" Liu Ting was surprised to see Chen Nian's changing expression. Could it be that he was captivated by her charm?
"Well..."
"Let me think... It's supposed to start at eight o'clock, and there's still half an hour left. I wonder if Tang Xi is already waiting for me," Liu Ting muttered.
"No need, just pretend I never mentioned it," Chen Nian said, now genuinely worried that she might ask Tang Xi to give up her seat.
"Oh, okay then." Liu Ting nodded upon hearing this, realizing that it was indeed inappropriate.
"Let's go then, we're done eating." Chen Nian checked the time; the meal had taken more than half an hour.
Before leaving, the chef consulted them about the pros and cons of the dishes.
For Chen Nian, who was used to fast food, this meal had only advantages and no disadvantages whatsoever.
The chef looked at him with great satisfaction and exclaimed that Chen Nian understood food.
After leaving the private restaurant, the two headed straight for the villa. When they returned to the villa, only Tang Xi and Su Xiao were sitting in the living room.
When Tang Xi saw Liu Ting return, she asked, "How did it go? Shouldn't we go see a movie?"
"Okay, let's go." Liu Ting replied, glanced at Chen Nian, and seeing that he looked calm, she didn't bring up the matter again. Then she and Tang Xi went out.
In an instant, the living room was occupied by Chen Nian and Su Xiao.
Su Xiao had a lollipop in her mouth and was flipping through a book.
Chen Nian took a bottle of drink from the refrigerator, sat down on the sofa, and after a moment, he subconsciously looked down at the coffee table and was stunned to find that the book was gone.
"Could it be?" Chen Nian looked in Su Xiao's direction, and sure enough, the book Su Xiao was looking at was the same book he had placed downstairs today.
The secrets to socializing...
Well...
Chen Nian suddenly realized that this book might actually be quite suitable for Su Xiao.
Thinking this, Chen Nian leaned back on the sofa and recalled the day's events. It seemed that Su Xiao had very little interaction with other people.
Su Xiao has soft, cute eyes, fair skin, long, smooth hair, and a clean and sweet temperament.
The female guests each have very distinct characteristics.
Perhaps she is a little introverted, but that's only natural; everyone has a different personality.
Just like him, he writes two hundred songs a year at the company. He seems passionate, but in reality, he has very few social interactions with people.
Xiaoyu, the intern, was new to the job and didn't know him well, which is why she occasionally struck up a conversation with him.
"Um... is that private kitchen restaurant good?"
Suddenly, a soft, sweet voice rang out.
Chen Nian sat up, looked at Su Xiao, and met her gaze. After confirming that she was talking to him, he said, "Hmm, it's pretty good, but the dishes were served a bit strangely."
"Strange?" Su Xiao blinked, puzzled.
"They serve a lot of dishes, but each dish is only a bite or two in portion," Chen Nian said, recounting his experience at the private restaurant to Su Xiao.
After hearing this, Su Xiao looked on with anticipation, clearly eager to try it.
"Speaking of which, there are quite a few places in this resort where you have to participate in activities to get experience vouchers. If this private kitchen restaurant is open again next time, I'll keep an eye out for it for you," Chen Nian said.
"Uh-huh!"
"Thank you." Su Xiao thanked him earnestly.
"It's alright, we'll all be friends for the next month," Chen Nian said with a slight smile.
At this moment, the crew members off-camera, seeing this scene, all showed expressions of astonishment.
Someone muttered quietly, "Could it be that these two haven't recognized each other yet?"
The others nodded in agreement.
The two chatted for a while, then went back to doing their own things, and before they knew it, it was already nine o'clock.
Xia Yao and the others returned at this time.
After Suhe and Wen Jingran returned from the hot springs, they looked very relaxed and introduced the hot springs to everyone.
It's hard for most people to imagine two grown men soaking in a hot spring together.
However, besides soaking in the hot springs, after chatting with everyone, they discovered that there were still many other things to do at the resort.
Chen Nian would occasionally chime in with a few words.
For them, this was just the first day of a thirty-day trip.
Moreover, they had noticed from the beginning that the butler had been waiting on the side, clearly there were still things to arrange.
Currently, Liu Ting and Tang Xi have not yet returned.
In the living room, Su He and the others would occasionally strike up a conversation with Zhou Yu and the others.
Chen Nian sat quietly to the side, eating a peeled apple, treating the situation as a practice ground for social skills.
Compared to people like Suhe and Li Tian, he was on a completely different level in social situations.
Even just watching from the sidelines, there is so much to learn.
It wasn't until almost ten o'clock that Tang Xi and Liu Ting returned from outside.
The two walked in and were taken aback to see that everyone in the living room was there. They then found a place to sit down.
Before the two women could speak, the housekeeper walked in at the opportune moment.
"First of all, on behalf of the production team, I would like to welcome all the guests to have a pleasant day."
"In the remaining ten minutes, please allow me to give you a brief overview of the filming details. First of all, the recording time for the program is from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM, Monday to Friday."
"On Saturdays and Sundays, it will be a live broadcast, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. as usual."
"Over the next thirty days, the production team will release interactive tasks from time to time to help the guests get to know each other quickly."
"Well then, there's one last thing to do tonight, which is the 'Heartbeat Card' segment."
As he spoke, the butler distributed the letter cards and pens he was holding to everyone present, saying, "We have installed a name tag and a small mailbox on the door of each guest's room."
"Please submit your 'heart card' to the guest you like. The first matching session will begin tomorrow morning."
As everyone received their pens and postcards, a look of surprise appeared on their faces.
Chen Nian looked at the letter card in his hand. Did this mean that some people would not receive a letter card, while others would receive multiple cards?
