Li Ye paused for a moment, then politely said, "Thank you, you're very beautiful too."

"Haha, really? I've been staying up late a lot lately, and my skin has gotten worse."

In the video, Yu Caiwei touched her face with both hands and said to herself, "You are really handsome. Even without makeup, you look so healthy."

Girl, have you forgotten this is a group video chat?

The first time they met was through a group video chat. Li Ye didn't know how to answer, feeling like he was being dragged along by a stranger to be a scapegoat.

Fortunately, Wang Fu spoke up in time.

"Alright, everyone's here. Let me explain the rules for this trip."

"Let me make it clear in advance that this is a crazy trip. You can't bring your agents or assistants. Before you leave, you need to hand over your wallets, credit cards, and other personal belongings. In short, you can only use the travel funds provided by the production team."

None of the guests reacted in any particular way, which meant they were all aware of the situation.

"As you all know, this is a self-guided tour, so you now need to select a tour guide to help arrange the first stop, Rome, Italy."

But upon hearing this, many people couldn't sit still.

Tu Shan, the oldest guest, frowned: "We know it's a self-guided tour, but we're leaving on the 28th, and you're only now asking us to arrange accommodation?"

"So this is a crazy trip, especially since it's the off-season for tourism in Italy," Wang Fu said without changing his expression.

Tu Shan was speechless for a moment. When the group contacted her, they had clearly stated that this was a crazy trip.

"But this is too crazy." Another actress, Gao Yalan, who is the second oldest, looked uneasy.

"Don't worry, everyone. The production team has prepared a travel guide for you, which includes recommendations for accommodations, attractions, and activities at each stop."

Wang Fu pressed his hands down to signal everyone to calm down: "The most important thing now is to select a tour guide for your first city so that the tour guide can plan the itinerary."

This trip is expected to last 24 days, and everyone should have the opportunity to be a tour guide. Now, who will be the first tour guide?

You can vote, or you can nominate yourself.

As soon as she finished speaking, to everyone's surprise, Yu Caiwei raised her hand in the video.

"Me, me, me, I'll be the tour guide for the first stop. Although I don't speak Italian and my English isn't very good, I've been to Rome."

It's rare for someone to volunteer, and besides, everyone is supposed to be a tour guide for the rest of the trip, so naturally no one objects at this point.

"Finally, welcome again to the Blossoming Travel Group!"

Wang Fu then mentioned some precautions and the meeting time before ending the group video chat.

Yu Caiwei then said, "Everyone needs to help each other. We can't let the tour guide do all the work. The same goes for the rest of the trip, so please pay attention to the group chat messages later. I need to consider everyone's opinions."

This woman is very straightforward, but what she said makes sense... Li Ye's impression of Yu Caiwei deepened once again, and he nodded seriously.

This is a job, and even a trip between friends shouldn't be something one person can handle alone.

But not long after the video call ended, Li Ye regretted it. Before he could even see the group chat messages, Yu Caiwei had just added him on WeChat when a video call came in.

"Oh no, what do we do? The program's guidebook only lists either very expensive hotels or really bad guesthouses. Li Ye, what do we do?"

'

""

This was the first time Li Ye had met someone so outgoing, and he was a little unaccustomed to it.

On the day of departure.

Early in the morning, Li Ye first met with Zhong Manyue at Guangzhou Airport.

The two met in the VIP room, and Zhong Manyue asked in surprise, "You only have one suitcase?"

"That's enough, I still have this." Li Ye turned around and showed the hiking backpack behind him, which contained a small backpack for travel.

"Did you bring any winter clothes? It's very cold there now," Chung Manyue asked with concern.

"I have everything, don't worry." Gu Xiaoyu also bought him a lot of hand warmers, which Li Ye wore.

The two chatted for a while, then boarded the plane and arrived at Shanghai Airport at 10:00 AM.

This flight to Italy departed from Shanghai Airport.

The recording of the program will begin now.

Before the others arrived, Li Ye and Zhong Manyue pushed their luggage to check in and drop off their bags. After everything was settled, they saw Kong Lingxiao walking in, completely uncovered and surrounded by security guards.

"Hello, nice to meet you," Li Ye greeted him with a smile.

Kong Lingxiao was surprised that Li Ye would take the initiative to greet him. In his mind, when the two met, they would be like rivals in anime, with their auras clashing.

He paused for a moment, then involuntarily bowed slightly and extended his hand: "Hello, hello."

Just as he was feeling frustrated, thinking that he had only come in second place, he realized that he hadn't won the "Singer" championship, so why should he show weakness?

Chung Manyue chuckled beside her, "Your performance on the final stage was fantastic; I watched the whole thing live."

"It's really impressive, I've seen it too." Li Ye nodded in agreement.

Kong Lingxiao scratched his head and said, "Haha, no way."

As they were talking, the fourth person arrived. She was the third sister on the show, named Chen Wanwan. She was thirty-five years old and seemed to exercise regularly, as she looked very healthy.

As required by the production team, everyone was sorted by age in the group chat.

Li Ye is the youngest, followed by Yu Caiwei, and then Zhong Manyue.

Chen Wanwan is an actress whose name most viewers can recognize, but she is not very popular or has a high status.

Perhaps because of this, she seemed a little reserved.

A short while later, Tu Shan and Gao Yalan arrived one after the other.

The former is 45 and the latter is 43; both are well-maintained and look to be in their thirties.

Tu Shan chuckled and said, "They're all handsome men and beautiful women!"

"Caiwei is absolutely right, Li Ye is really handsome."

Gao Yalan's gaze lingered on Li Ye's face for three seconds longer, then, remembering there were other men present, she quickly added:

'

Lingxiao, you're adorable too.

You might as well not say anything... Kong Lingxiao revealed a silly, childlike smile.

Twenty minutes later, Tu Shan checked her watch: "Why hasn't our tour guide arrived yet?"

Her expression and tone remained unchanged, but the word "tour guide" was clearly emphasized.

Zhong Manyue said softly, "Caiwei said in the group that it's only a few kilometers away."

"Wait a minute, she's been working hard these past few days planning her schedule," Gao Yalan said, nodding.

Tu Shan said, "I'm just worried she won't make it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Caiwei jogged in, followed by people helping to push her luggage.

"Oh dear, I'm so rushed! I was finalizing my itinerary with the landlord before I left home," Yu Caiwei said, patting her chest to catch her breath.

"You've worked hard, Caiwei." Tu Shan took the initiative to hug her.

Gao Yalan glanced at her with some confusion. Wasn't she unhappy just now?

Yu Caiwei had a sudden thought and hugged the other members one by one, saying things like "First time meeting" and "Please take care of me".

Apart from Li Ye and Zhong Manyue, the other members of the Blooming Flowers group were not familiar with each other, even if they had met before.

When they reached Li Ye, Yu Caiwei opened her arms and excitedly said, "Li Ye, you're even more handsome in real life than in the videos!"

Thank you for your help and advice these past two days.

"???"

Li Ye looked puzzled: I wanted to offer you some advice, but you don't talk about the show much.

As for the hug, before he could even react, Yu Caiwei grabbed him and exclaimed "Ouch!"

"Sorry, I have a camera hanging on me."

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

Upon hearing that she was alright, Li Ye quickly checked the film camera for any damage.

Yu Caiwei rubbed her collarbone in frustration, it was sore from being pressed against it. Seeing that there were no seats left on either side of Li Ye, she had no choice but to sit down next to Tu Shan.

"Oh dear, my old bones, I don't know if I can withstand almost thirteen hours in economy class." Tu Shan rubbed her neck, talking to herself, and only Yu Caiwei and Gao Yalan next to her could hear her.

"The production team went too far. It's one thing to travel on a budget, but why did they book economy class for us?" Gao Yalan chimed in. She had already complained to the production team yesterday when she saw the flight information.

"that is."

As the tour guide, Yu Caiwei was very responsible. Upon receiving feedback from the group members, she immediately looked around and exclaimed, "Where's the director? I need to find the director!"

Gao Yalan accompanied Yu Caiwei and found Wang Fu hiding behind a group of staff members.

Wang Fu said helplessly, "You two, shouldn't we abide by the program rules?"

"But economy class for more than ten hours is too uncomfortable. By the time we arrive in Rome, it will be evening, and we still have to rush to the hotel. We can't be exhausted from the journey on the first day, can we?" Yu Caiwei said, and Gao Yalan nodded in agreement.

"This was agreed upon from the beginning, and I was also in economy class."

Wang Fu wanted to show them his plane ticket information, but Yu Caiwei waved her hand and shook her head, saying, "I don't care!"

"Okay, I'll have someone check how many business class seats are left." Wang Fu chose to back down.

Seeing Yu Caiwei walk back triumphantly like a victorious older sister, Gao Yalan, who was over forty years old, followed her with pride.

"What did the director say?" Tu Shan asked immediately.

Yu Caiwei said proudly, "He went to ask."

"But with so many of us, what if there aren't enough seats for upgrades?" Tu Shan said, gently rubbing her lower back with her hand, her brows furrowed slightly.

Yeah, what if it's not enough?

Yu Caiwei was in a dilemma. She wanted to suggest ranking by age, but she was the second to last in age, and there was also the youngest, Li Ye. Wouldn't that mean she would most likely not be able to get an upgrade?

She could only say, "Let's wait for the director to come back before we talk about it."

Soon, Wang Fu came to the middle of the group and said directly, "There are only four seats. You can decide for yourselves who wants to upgrade. Go to board first, and you can change seats after you get on."

He was a little unhappy.

Because Yu Caiwei wasn't just doing it for the sake of the show; it was obvious she was going to make a scene if he didn't agree, especially since she herself was flying economy class.

Li Ye, Zhong Manyue, and Chen Wanwan were sitting further away when they realized what had happened.

"I don't need to be promoted. Sister Manyue has been holding concerts for months and it only ended a few days ago. Let's give her a spot," Li Ye said as he got up and walked over.

Zhong Manyue, who was following behind, blinked. She was prepared to suffer on this job, but after thinking about it, she didn't say anything.

The others were somewhat surprised. They knew that Li Ye and Zhong Manyue were friends, but they didn't expect Li Ye to be so impolite.

Yu Caiwei's eyes widened instantly, feeling uncomfortable, and she blurted out, "I also filmed for several months."

"Then you can have it yourself, I didn't stop you..." Li Ye nodded: "Yeah, you've worked hard too."

Yu Caiwei suddenly didn't know whether she should be angry or not.

Zhong Manyue quickly replied, "It's alright, I can fly economy class."

"Me too, I don't need it either," Chen Wanwan added.

"Let's board the plane first," Tu Shan said, supporting her waist as she stood up and rubbing her neck, leading the way.

Zhong Manyue shook her head slightly at Li Ye, and he said no more.

His thinking was simple: he didn't care about himself, but of course he had to fight for good things for Zhong Manyue.

Li Ye got up and slung his hiking backpack over his shoulder. Then he took Zhong Manyue's small suitcase and, seeing Yu Caiwei looking at him expectantly, he also took Yu Caiwei's backpack and placed it on top of the suitcase.

Yu Caiwei watched Li Ye's retreating figure, unsure how to describe her feelings.

After boarding the plane, the seats for the group of people in the "Floral Group" were basically all together.

Tu Shan neither put down her luggage nor spoke.

Gao Yalan hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.

After Li Ye helped her put her luggage away, Yu Caiwei said somewhat embarrassedly, "Then let Sister Manyue go."

Zhong Manyue is only two months older than her. Originally, she would call her by her name directly, but now she calls her "sister" along with Li Ye.

"No need," Zhong Manyue waved her hand.

Li Ye respected Zhong Manyue's opinion, and at this moment Kong Lingxiao also humbly said, "You guys go ahead."

Li Ye immediately said, "Sister Manyue, you go ahead."

Zhong Manyue nodded without hesitation: "Okay."

"I'm just being polite..." Kong Lingxiao revealed his signature silly grin.

The cabin seats are arranged in a 3-3-3 configuration. After the person who was upgraded left, four seats became available.

"Sister Wanwan, sit in a row by yourself. You can lie down and rest if you get tired."

"Thank you." Chen Wanwan could tell that Li Ye wasn't just being polite.

Li Ye stood up, nodded to Kong Lingxiao who was looking at him, and walked over to sit down.

Don't come any closer... Kong Lingxiao was on the verge of tears.

Sister Shan is being a bit arrogant because of her age, but she hides it very well.

Sister Lan is rather pampered and hasn't shown any ill intentions so far.

Kong Lingxiao is not young, but he is immature.

Yu Caiwei didn't seem to have any bad intentions, but perhaps because of her popularity, she spoke and acted somewhat recklessly.

Chung Manyue didn't reveal much yet, but she wasn't someone who got angry easily. She seemed cold, but I didn't expect her to be so talkative.

Li Ye...

As Chen Wanwan was reviewing the situation in her mind, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Li Ye: He also seemed a bit unrestrained, but not in a way that made him act like a big shot; it was just his personality.

Chen Wanwan only found out about the guest lineup after accepting the program's invitation, and her first reaction was regret.

After all, she is neither the youngest nor the most senior. The others are either big names or popular celebrities, so there is a high probability that she will be the one to suffer.

Because of these concerns, she kept observing everyone from the sidelines, trying to figure out who was easier to get along with.

A preliminary assessment has been made.
