A person in Wuha: The whole internet is urging me to get back together with my ex!

Half an hour later, in the hotel lobby.

The "Terracotta Warriors" finally washed off their face powder and gradually gathered around.

Wang Zhengyu led everyone towards the door.

A gray Coaster minibus was parked on the side of the road, its exhaust pipe emitting white smoke.

Lu Han, carrying her backpack, kept her eyes fixed on Dilraba.

He spotted where Dilraba would sit.

He took a quick step forward, bent down, and squeezed into the empty space next to her.

Dilraba grabbed Baby, who was following behind, and pulled her hard.

"Baby, come quick! We saved you a window seat!"

Lu Han's half-step was stuck in mid-air.

Taking it in is not an option, nor is taking it out.

He stood frozen in place for a full two seconds before silently retracting his leg.

Chen Ye and Song Yuqi happened to pass by.

"This guy's skills at pursuing girls are even more clumsy than my grandma's," he muttered in a low voice.

Song Yuqi pinched the soft flesh on his waist with her other hand, suppressing a laugh.

Lu Han slunk back to the back row and landed on his butt next to Wang Mian.

Wang Mian looked disgusted and silently moved his body closer to the window.

Li Chen and Chen He huddled together, arms around each other's shoulders.

Deng Chao pulled Tao Zhe, who was still in a daze, to sit down.

Zheng Kai sat alone in the last corner of the row, hunched over and silent.

The car started smoothly and drove onto the highway.

Deng Chao clung to the back of the seat, sticking his head out to look at the front.

"Old Wang, where are we going now?" he asked warily. "You're being so secretive, you're definitely holding back something."

Wang Zhengyu turned around, a smug smile playing on his lips.

"Go to Z port and take a boat."

"By boat?" Chen He's beady eyes lit up. "A luxury cruise ship? With a buffet? Unlimited seafood?"

Chen Ye leaned back in his chair, interrupting his reverie.

"Old Wang, just tell me how far," Chen Ye cut to the chase.

Wang Zhengyu pushed up his black-rimmed glasses.

"It's not far, only about 300 kilometers."

A chorus of wails erupted instantly from inside the carriage.

"Damn it." Chen Ye rolled his eyes.

Three hundred kilometers is not far.

Even the donkeys in the production team don't work this non-stop.

That bastard Lao Wang is using them as training material for a triathlon.

The protests were ineffective, and the car was already speeding down the highway.

Exhaustion from days of recording overwhelmed me.

Even Lu Han was too exhausted to think about how to bump into him again.

In less than twenty minutes, the only sound in the carriage was the chorus of snores.

Chen Ye pressed Song Yuqi's head onto his shoulder and closed his eyes, instantly falling asleep.

More than four hours later, the vehicle suddenly jolted.

"Wake up, we're here!" Wang Zhengyu shouted, banging on the carriage door.

Chen Ye rubbed his sore neck and opened his eyes.

It was already completely dark outside the window.

The group slowly got out of the car.

A cold wind blew by, and Chen Ye shivered, his mind clearing a bit.

Before us was a huge port and dock.

Bright lights.

The large, illuminated lettering above the ticket booth reads "Z Returns to Port".

Wang Mian, carrying a portable megaphone, began his temporary business.

"Everyone, wake up!" Wang Mian clapped his hands. "Today we're aboard the most luxurious cruise ship on the Yangtze River!"

"Really? Old Wang is that generous?" Chen He was skeptical.

The group entered the ticket office.

We boarded a short cable car that led to the floating rafts on the river.

The cable car descended slowly.

A huge white cruise ship was moored on the river.

Each floor is shimmering with neon lights.

The boarding area was covered with a red carpet.

Two waiters dressed in sailor uniforms stood on either side of the room, heads bowed, to greet the guests.

Chen Ye yawned and handed Song Yuqi the boarding pass.

One of the waitresses, who had her hair in a bun and was petite, took the sign.

"Welcome aboard. Please proceed to the third floor to check in."

She spoke in a low voice, and her Mandarin accent was extremely non-standard.

The voice sounds familiar.

Chen Ye glanced down at the girl.

The girl wore huge black-rimmed glasses, with most of her face buried in her uniform collar.

The facial features are not clearly visible.

Chen Ye was too tired to think much, so he pulled Song Yuqi straight into the elevator.

Deng Chao, Chen He, and Lu Han, who were following behind, didn't even look up.

A group of people were yawning incessantly.

As all the top celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry entered the elevator, the metal doors slowly closed.

The petite waitress suddenly looked up.

He took off his black-rimmed glasses.

She is none other than Deng Ziqi, a rising star in the Chinese music scene.

She stared at the numbers flashing above the elevator.

He turned to face the camera hidden in the flowerpot, grinning smugly.

"Hahaha! None of them recognized me!"

Deng Ziqi lowered his voice, his eyes and brows brimming with excitement at the prospect of stirring things up.

"We're going to have to give them a big one later!"

The elevator goes directly to the third floor of the cruise ship.

The door opened, revealing a thick red carpet covering the spacious corridor.

The waiter just now ran up from some internal staircase.

He led everyone to a private guest room area.

"These rooms are all yours; please feel free to use them as you see fit."

She kept her head down, her voice muffled.

Chen Ye looked her up and down.

"So we're staying in this area?" Chen Ye asked casually. "Nothing else? Like, a hidden mission where we sound the alarm in the middle of the night and jump into the river to survive?"

The waiter was clearly taken aback.

His shoulder twitched twice.

"No, sir. Just listen to the announcement over the loudspeaker later."

After saying that, she immediately turned and ran away.

Chen Ye frowned.

Why is this waiter acting like a thief?

However, he was too tired to investigate further and turned to choose a room.

A sharp scream rang out in the corridor.

"Holy crap!! Brother He, come quick!!"

Lu Han pointed to a poster on the corridor wall and jumped up on the spot.

Chen He shuffled over.

The moment he saw the contents of the poster, his beady eyes widened instantly.

The poster features large, bold, cursive characters: "[The First Annual XX Esports Tournament – ​​CF & League of Legends Challenge!]"

"There's an esports competition?" Chen He swallowed hard.

"Not only is there a match! Look over there!"

Lu Han pointed to a room at the end of the corridor with its door half-open.

The two of them took off running.

He kicked the door open.

This is a luxurious, private e-sports room.

Five top-of-the-line Alienware desktop computers were neatly arranged inside.

The RGB lighting on the gaming chair flashed in the dimly lit room, looking quite stylish.

These two internet-addicted teenagers reverted to their ancestral ways on the spot.

"Mine! This room is mine!"

Lu Han rushed to a computer and hugged the monitor tightly.

"Get lost! I'm booking the whole night!"

Chen He used both his hands and feet to frantically pound on the power button of the main unit.

Chen Ye stood in the corridor and rolled his eyes.

What a loser.

Two top celebrities worth over 100 million yuan got this excited just by seeing an internet cafe.

I can't be bothered with those two internet addicts.

Chen Ye pulled Song Yuqi along to start choosing a room.

The two wandered around for a while.

At the far end of the corridor, I chose a river-view king room with a private balcony.

Push open the door to reveal a luxurious interior.

The floor-to-ceiling windows offer a breathtaking view of the stunning nightscape along both banks of the Yangtze River.

A breeze blew in through the gaps, dispelling the sweltering heat.

"This is the room." Chen Ye flopped onto the large bed, casually pulling Song Yuqi over. "Stay away from those two idiots."

Song Yuqi laughed and broke free, running to the balcony to look at the night view.

Just then, static came on from the room's loudspeaker.

"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening."

A deep female voice echoed simultaneously in the corridor and all the rooms, with a deliberately broadcast-like tone.

"A grand captain's cocktail party will be held on this cruise ship in half an hour."

"Distinguished guests, please proceed to the bar on the fifth floor. A surprise awaits you."

The broadcast abruptly stopped.

Chen Ye rolled over in bed, his brows furrowed slightly.

That voice belongs to the waiter from earlier.

It was both a cocktail party and a surprise.

That bastard Lao Wang would never let them have a peaceful meal.

There's definitely a trap.

"Let's go and check out this riverside party." Song Yuqi opened the wardrobe, took out a black jacket, and put it on.

"Let's go, let's see what kind of trouble he'll cause." Chen Ye got out of bed.

The two left the room and arrived at the meeting point.

People gradually came out.

Chen He and Lu Han kept turning back to stare at the computer, reluctant to leave.

The group went up the spiral staircase, preparing to pass through the fourth-floor lobby to the fifth floor.

I just stepped out of the elevator.

The group was blocked by a huge crowd.

A senior citizens' tour group with an average age of over sixty.

Dozens of middle-aged women, wearing colorful scarves, were taking photos of each other on the viewing platform.

"Oh my! Isn't this Xiao Deng!"

A sharp-eyed middle-aged woman with curly hair immediately spotted Deng Chao, who was walking at the front.

"Who? Who is it?"

"Oh my goodness, it really is Deng Yingchao, the actor who played the emperor!"

Instantly, the middle-aged women swarmed around them.

It directly submerged Deng Chao.

"Little Deng, I really enjoy watching your performances!"

"Little Deng, come take a picture with Auntie! Stand in the middle and make a heart shape with your hands!"

Deng Chao was surrounded by a group of people wearing floral scarves, and the smile on his face froze completely.

Maintaining the demeanor of a national heartthrob, he could only let the older women pull him around and make him pose for all sorts of outrageous photos.

Lu Han and Chen He had already slipped away.

Hiding behind a pillar, she was trying so hard to suppress her laughter, her shoulders twitching.

Chen Ye leaned against the stair railing, watching Deng Chao being pinched on the cheek and forced to take photos by the older women, and clicked his tongue in disapproval.

She is an absolute idol for middle-aged and elderly women.

"This old Deng is a true friend of women," Chen Ye said, raising an eyebrow at Song Yuqi. "If the boat sinks in a bit, these aunties will definitely have to use silk scarves to make a lifebuoy for him to float back."
