I was slacking off on a dating reality show when the female guests treated me like a treasure chest.

Chen Nian arrived in the living room and found that he was the first one there; he was quite early.

However, from the perspective of the production team off-camera, it was simply that this guy had far too little luggage, while the other guests' oversized suitcases were packed full.

As for Chen Nian's suitcase, three sets of clothes were too much to fit in a suitcase; a backpack would have sufficed.

A few minutes later, the second guest began to come downstairs.

Hearing footsteps, Chen Nian turned around and glanced at the stairs. The next moment, he met Su Xiao's eyes as she walked down the stairs. He still remembered this girl quite well.

When Su Xiao introduced herself while drawing rooms, she spoke softly, and he listened attentively.

She must be a simple, slightly introverted girl.

However, the other person's name sounded somewhat familiar to him, perhaps because he had heard the name before.

Su Xiao drew room number 202, making her Li Tian's neighbor.

The villa's room layout is basically an odd-even number of rooms arranged side by side, separated by a central hall.

201 and 202 are adjacent to each other, while 203 and 204 are on the other side of the corridor. Therefore, although they are all on the second floor, they are still some distance apart in this villa of one or two thousand square meters.

Su Xiao came down the stairs and found a place to sit in the living room.

Seeing that Chen Nian was the only one there, she gave an awkward smile, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly, "Hello."

If it weren't for the quietness, Chen Nian doubted he would have missed the other person's greeting.

He paused for a few seconds, then nodded slightly. "Yes, hello, you're Su Xiao, right? Please take care of me in the future."

Su Xiao's eyes lit up. She hadn't expected Chen Nian to remember her. She smiled faintly and said, "Yes, please take care of me." Just as she was about to say a few more words, Chen Nian's gaze turned to the courtyard outside the French windows.

Seeing this, Su Xiao had no choice but to look away and sit quietly to the side and wait.

Before long, the others came down one after another to gather.

As everyone took their seats, they consciously sought out their neighbors to sit next to.

When it was Liu Ting's turn, she looked at Chen Nian sitting on the single sofa, then at the sofa with plenty of seats for others, and her lips twitched a few times.

"This guy, the only single sofa..." Liu Ting muttered to herself, silently labeling Chen Nian as a loner, and then found a seat to sit down.

Once she sat down, everyone had arrived.

In the quiet atmosphere, someone looked up at the clock in the living room; there was still half an hour until midnight.

"How about we prepare lunch first?" Suhe's voice broke the silence. After speaking, he looked at everyone and waited for their response.

"It's getting late, we should definitely get ready," Liu Ting agreed.

With the two of them making the suggestion, the others readily agreed and decided to take care of lunch first, and then see how to proceed.

For those who were used to being told what to do, the sudden freedom to express themselves actually made them feel somewhat constrained.

After all, this is something that needs to be done in front of the camera.

When Chen Nian heard that he had to cook, he touched his stomach. He was already starving. He hadn't eaten dinner last night and hadn't had breakfast this morning either.

"So, how many people can cook?" Tang Xi asked, raising her hand. "I cook at home, but I still need a few more people to help me."

"I can do that too," Wen Jingran said, raising his hand in agreement with Tang Xi.

"Two more, let's have two more." Tang Xi looked at the others.

"I can barely help out," Liu Ting said.

"Then I'll do it too," Li Tian said, echoing Liu Ting's suggestion.

Thus, the four-person team responsible for cooking was complete.

"Let's go see what ingredients we have. As for the others, they can find something to do," Tang Xi said, getting up and walking towards the kitchen.

Now that we have someone to cook lunch, all that's left is setting the table and such.

For the remaining six people, this matter is quite simple; one or two people are enough to handle it.

Chen Nian glanced at the four people who were busy in the kitchen, then looked away, leaned back on the sofa, stared at the seven or eight-meter-high ceiling above his head, and marveled at the luxury of the villa.

As for what to do, he had no idea. He believed that the more he did, the more mistakes he would make, and the less he did, the less mistakes he would make.

"Let's set the table and get the bowls and chopsticks ready," Suhe suggested, then got up and walked towards the dining room, and the others followed.

Su Xiao paused, looking at the four people rushing into the dining room, hesitant, unable to say what she was about to say.

She glanced at Chen Nian, who was still staring blankly at the ceiling, then at the others who were already busy at work, and whispered, "Um, should we go help?"

"Chen... Chen Nian".

Seeing that Chen Nian didn't react, Su Xiao called his name again in a low voice.

Chen Nian snapped out of his reverie when Su Xiao called his name, looking at her with a confused expression. "Um, what's wrong?"

"Should we go help?" Su Xiao whispered.

"Help?" Chen Nian blinked. Although he didn't know why Su Xiao wanted to ask for his opinion, he glanced at Su He and the others and said in surprise, "I don't think we need to. One person can handle that kind of thing."

"Let's wait for dinner," Chen Nian said seriously.

"Oh, okay." Su Xiao nodded slightly upon hearing this, then sat up straight and waited quietly.

"....."

Chen Nian's mouth was slightly open, and he was a little confused. He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it, so he simply stopped thinking about it and continued to lie there in a daze.

This scene stunned everyone on set. They were all taken aback by how casual they were in front of the camera. They wanted to be this relaxed, but they could at least put on an act!

Where is your idol image?

The next moment, a stagehand quietly handed the guest's information to everyone, and the production crew members were stunned when they saw it.

As time went by, a faint aroma of delicious food soon wafted from the kitchen.

Upon smelling the food, Chen Nian's appetite was immediately whetted. He sat up and looked towards the kitchen, thinking that whether he could eat and drink well for the next month depended on this meal.

As for the four people on the other side, Chen Nian had long forgotten that there were still such people around.

At this moment, Su He and the others, who were sitting in the dining room, looked at Chen Nian and Su Xiao in the living room, smiled awkwardly at each other, and felt that something was not right.

"Ready, everyone, let's serve the dishes." At this moment, Liu Ting's voice came from the kitchen, and Su He and the others immediately sprang into action, entering the kitchen to serve the dishes.

"It's ready to eat. Let's go eat." Seeing this, Chen Nian got up and stretched his limbs, said to Su Xiao beside him, and then walked towards the kitchen.

"Oh, okay." Su Xiao nodded slightly and followed behind Chen Nian.

"No..." Liu Ting, who was finishing up in the kitchen, caught a glimpse of this scene and was immediately stunned, wondering when this guy had become familiar with Su Xiao.
