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

With Chen Nian awarding Su Xiao a point, three people now had the same score, and the question-and-answer session came to an end.

Everyone turned their attention to the butler standing to the side, waiting for his answer.

Obviously, for the production team, a tie was inevitable, so he took out three experience vouchers from the envelope.

"Chen Nian, Su He, and Liu Ting are tied, so each of them will receive an experience voucher, but each experience voucher is different."

"Currently, I have a dinner voucher for a private restaurant, a movie ticket for a forest cinema, and a voucher for an open-air hot spring that opens after 8 p.m.

"Please let the three guests decide for themselves who will make the first choice," the butler said with a smile.

As soon as the butler finished speaking, Liu Ting and Su He's eyes lit up. They wanted to try all three vouchers, but it seemed that was impossible.

Finally, the two exchanged a glance, then looked at Chen Nian simultaneously and said, "Rock-paper-scissors?"

"I'm fine with it." Chen Nian nodded. He wanted the dinner voucher; he wanted to eat, drink, and have fun first.

"Let's go!" Sukh said, putting all his effort into it.

"Rock, paper, scissors!"

"Out!" Liu Ting flicked her wrist, kicking Su He's cloth away with a scissor-like gesture, then looked at Chen Nian with great enthusiasm. "By the way, before we begin, let me ask you, which one do you want?"

"Maybe we don't even need to play rock-paper-scissors. Perhaps the three of us want different things," Liu Ting said.

"Dinner vouchers," Chen Nian said.

"Oh, okay, let's have a duel then!" Upon hearing this, Liu Ting's eyebrows shot up. "Since there's a conflict, let's play rock-paper-scissors."

"..."

"Rock, paper, scissors!"

"cloth!"

"cloth!"

"I'll cut it!"

"Scissors!"

"....."

Three rounds in a row ended in a draw, leaving the onlookers dumbfounded.

"These neighbors have quite a temper!" Qi Feng whispered, and the others nodded in agreement.

"Stone!"

"Scissors!"

"Out!" Chen Nian shook his big fist and said calmly.

Liu Ting looked at the scissors in her hand and fell into deep thought. This thing is her nemesis!

Afterwards, Chen Nian accepted the dinner voucher handed to him by the butler, a satisfied smile on his face. As for the remaining hot spring vouchers and movie tickets, Liu Ting won again, but looked conflicted.

Whether it's soaking in a hot spring or watching a movie, she feels she's probably not in the mood for it today.

After hesitating for a moment, she still chose the movie ticket. As for soaking in the hot spring, especially the outdoor one, it was not sacred for a girl who didn't bring her own bath swimsuit.

Suhe looked at the hot spring voucher in his hand, both amused and exasperated. "Am I supposed to invite a guest to soak in the hot springs with me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the female guests silently took two steps back.

Finally, Suhe could only turn his gaze to Qi Feng and the others beside him, "Anyone want to soak in the hot springs together?"

"I'll go with you," Wen Jingran stepped forward.

"Sister Tangxi, wanna go see a movie?" Liu Ting looked at Tangxi. The two were both actresses and had met a few times in real life, so they were practically friends.

As for inviting men, that's out of the question for her.

In the end, the hot spring tickets went to two grown men, and the movie tickets went to two women...

The production team was both amused and exasperated by this scene. It seemed too radical to start with such ice-breaking contact on the very first night, so they could only place their hopes on Chen Nian.

The production team had a feeling that this guy, who had been slacking off all day, would be enjoying the feast all to himself.

At this moment, Chen Nian was indeed thinking this.

Even though it's a two-person voucher, there's no rule saying you can't eat alone, right?

He nodded to himself, then sat back down, waiting for six o'clock in the evening to go out for a big meal.

"Chen Nian, aren't you going to invite anyone?" Liu Ting asked curiously upon seeing this.

"No need, I'll eat it myself," Chen Nian said calmly.

"..."

"Is this okay?" Liu Ting was stunned and asked the butler beside her.

The butler's lips twitched a few times, and he forced a smile, "Yes, there are no restrictions. You can arrange it yourself." After saying that, the butler silently withdrew from the camera's view.

Liu Ting frowned, wanting to ask Chen Nian for a seat at the restaurant, but now she was too embarrassed to ask.

With the butler gone, the afternoon meant more freedom to move around.

Chen Nian glanced at the weather outside; the July sun was so intense that the heat waves in the air seemed to distort.

"Should I go back to my room and sleep?" Chen Nian thought to himself. Of course, this was just a thought; he knew that during the show, he wouldn't be allowed to go back for a nap.

Seeing that he was stuck in the villa, Chen Nian stood up from the sofa and walked towards the villa's entrance.

After watching Chen Nian leave the villa, everyone thought for a moment and then began to do their own thing.

Some people went back to their rooms to change and prepare to go out, while others strolled around the villa, looking for any hidden treasures they hadn't yet discovered.

Chen Nian came out of the villa, stood under the scorching sun, pondered for a moment, and then walked towards the interior of the resort.

The place was very large. In the villa's room, the production team gave them a resort map to guide them. Chen Nian vaguely remembered that there was a treehouse cafe in the map.

Before long, Chen Nian arrived at the coffee shop located deep inside the resort, built under two large banyan trees.

The age plaque hanging under the banyan tree nearby made Chen Nian gasp in amazement.

"Eight hundred years?"

"This is an ancient tree!" Chen Nian exclaimed. It was living well in the mountains and forests, who would have thought that one day it would become part of the resort.

"The ancestral tree?"

Why is it called the Ancestor Tree?

A voice came from behind, startling Chen Nian. He turned around and saw Xia Yao, who had appeared behind him with a photographer at some point.

"Huh?" Xia Yao tilted her head slightly, looking at Chen Nian with confusion, and said, "Doesn't it say 'Banyan Tree' here?"

Chen Nian withdrew his gaze and focused on the banyan tree, saying, "Because this tree was already growing here before humans migrated here and settled down."

"Oh?" Xia Yao nodded thoughtfully, then smiled slightly and said, "You're really interesting. So, are you really a music creator?"

"That last sentence is redundant," Chen Nian said, then walked towards the coffee shop next door. The first rule of slacking off is not to have too much contact with popular characters.

Seeing this, Xia Yao blinked and then followed.

"You must have been interested in this coffee shop after seeing the map, right?" She followed behind Chen Nian, no more than two steps away.

"No, I'm more interested in deeper escape rooms," Chen Nian said casually, but there were indeed escape rooms.

"what?"

"Me too! Shall we go play?" Xia Yao's beautiful eyes sparkled. She had been drawn to this escape room while looking at the map, but being from a family of pianists, she wasn't allowed to play these kinds of things.

If you cut your hand, it could be a fatal problem.

"I was just kidding, I'm not interested." Chen Nian stopped in his tracks, said seriously, and then pushed open the door to walk into the coffee shop.

"Hmph." Xia Yao's cheeks puffed out.
