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

The noodle shop was filled with the salty aroma of seafood soy sauce.

Chen Ye leaned back in his plastic chair, tapping his fingers on the greasy tabletop.

He knew all too well how much trouble the "Five Ha" veterans could cause when they got together.

Going with the flow and boarding this pirate ship to gain the popularity points needed by the system is definitely a sure-fire way to make money.

But that doesn't mean he's willing to be a sucker who can be taken advantage of.

"Exclusive privileges?" Chen Ye stared at Wang Zhengyu. "Old Wang, your promises are too vague. Give me something concrete."

Wang Zhengyu rubbed his hands together, his face revealing a cunning businessman's expression.

"For our tour group, each person has to pay at least two hundred yuan in tour fees at each destination," Old Wang said in a low voice. "I can make the decision to waive all your tour fees."

Chen Ye raised an eyebrow.

"I can waive my tour fee," Chen Ye said, shifting to a more comfortable sitting position. "But what about my expenses? I'm here to enjoy life, not to participate in a labor camp."

Wang Zhengyu was waiting for these words, and suddenly pointed to Deng Chao, Chen He, and Lu Han, who were huddled together in the corner.

"You can spend the money they earn however you want!"

"Holy crap!" Deng Chao sprang up from the plastic stool on the spot.

"Wang Zhengyu, are you even human?!" Chen He roared, his face flushed and neck bulging. "The three of us can't even scrape together a hundred yuan! You might as well just throw us into the Huangpu River to feed the fish!"

Lu Han also looked utterly hopeless: "It's over, a vampire has fallen from the sky."

Chen Ye ignored the three men's wailing and howling.

He turned his head and glanced at Song Yuqi, who was sitting quietly watching the show beside him.

In today's episode, she was simply dragged in by the production team to be a tool for generating buzz.

The two parted amicably in the first place, and now they're being made a fool of like monkeys. That doesn't make sense.

"Old Wang." Chen Ye tapped the table, interrupting the three men's wailing.

"The abacus beads all hit my face." Chen Ye pointed to himself, then to Song Yuqi, "Yuqi and I are both suckers who were tricked by you guys today."

"With this privilege, you can waive our group fees for both of us on the show."

Song Yuqi was drinking water from a disposable paper cup when she suddenly stopped.

She raised her head and stared blankly at Chen Ye.

The phrase "Yuqi and I" that slipped out immediately placed her in the protection circle.

The live stream chat exploded.

"Ugh! He even brought her into the negotiations!"

"What ex-husband?! This is my current husband! I've already moved to the Civil Affairs Bureau!"

"Extreme favoritism! Chen Ye, you know exactly how to handle the God of Pure Love!"

Wang Zhengyu frowned slightly, looking somewhat hesitant.

Waiving the tour fee is a small matter, but if Chen Ye and Song Yuqi weren't worried about making a living, where would they find anything interesting to watch?

Chen Ye noticed Lao Wang's concerns.

"We'll earn our own money for daily expenses," Chen Ye said calmly. "But you can't set some ridiculous rule like 'no facial recognition' for us."

"Of course, we won't deliberately try to gain attention, and we certainly won't take money from fans for free," Chen Ye added. "We earn money through our own hard work. Is that alright?"

Wang Zhengyu quickly calculated in his mind.

With their current massive online following, if these two were to actually work on the streets, the show's entertainment value would be absolutely explosive.

"Okay! Deal!" Wang Zhengyu waved his hand.

In the corner, Deng Chao, Chen He, and Lu Han's eyes lit up instantly.

Chen He nudged Deng Chao with his shoulder and chuckled in a low voice.

"Brother Chao, we've hit the jackpot this time. With that pretty boy Xiao Ye's looks, he could just go out and busk on the street and the money would pour in!"

Lu Han nodded frantically beside him, "Wild kids eat meat, we'll just have the soup!"

Wang Zhengyu's cold and ruthless voice shattered their beautiful dream.

"To prevent cheating, I'll add an important rule," Old Wang said, pointing at Deng Chao and the other two. "The money Chen Ye and Song Yuqi earn absolutely cannot be used to pay your group fees!"

"Wang Zhengyu, I'll fight you to the death!"

Deng Chao completely lost his temper and grabbed an empty plastic bowl from the table, ready to throw it at him.

The protest was invalid.

Wang Mian, the tour guide who had been hiding to the side like a nobody, timidly raised his hand.

"Um... brothers, can we head over to the dock market to look for work first?" Wang Mian pointed outside the door. "We haven't settled our bill for this meal yet."

The voice just fell.

Deng Chao, Chen He, and Lu Han all turned their eyes to stare at Chen Ye.

"Brother Ye~" Chen He skillfully pinched his throat and made a nauseating squeaky sound.

"Good little brother, can you bear to see your older brothers being made to wash dishes because of a bowl of noodles?" Deng Chao flirted wildly.

"Alright, alright! Shut up! I'll pay!" Chen Ye stood up with a look of disgust on his face.

Looking at these three things even once would make me feel like I'm at work.

He took out his phone to scan the QR code to pay and casually turned on the screen.

The screen was filled with rows of densely packed missed call notifications, all evidence of the three bastards' relentless bombardment of calls since 5 a.m.

Chen Ye secretly decided that he had to let these three people know the wickedness of society today.

Everyone put on their personal microphones.

Chen Ye pushed open the glass door of the noodle shop, and the group of six walked towards the dock market.

The morning sea breeze carried a strong fishy smell.

I had only taken a few steps when a figure wearing a baseball cap suddenly darted out from behind the seaweed stall next to me.

"Oh my! Isn't that Trendy!"

The person ripped off their mask, revealing a shrewd, wrinkled face.

It was none other than guest star Huang Bo.

"Brother Bo!" Deng Chao and Chen He rushed over as if they had seen a relative and poured out their grievances.

Huang Bo glanced around, his gaze sweeping over everyone before settling on Chen Ye and Song Yuqi at the edge.

He thought to himself, "Wow!"

The entire internet is staying up all night searching for evidence of the tragic ending aesthetics of these two, and the trending topics list is almost crashing.

As a result, the two stood quietly side by side at the seafood pier.

"Xiao Ye, Yu Qi, you two are quite leisurely this early in the morning, aren't you?" Huang Bo greeted them with a smile, his tone full of excitement as if he were watching a drama unfold.

Chen Ye twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Brother Bo, if these three scammers shook you out of bed at 5 a.m., you'd be quite elegant."

After listening to Deng Chao and the others' accusations, Huang Bo couldn't help but launch into a tirade of complaints.

"What kind of labor camp program have you guys signed up for? And we have to earn two hundred yuan for the tour fee ourselves? I'd rather die than do it!"

The group complained as they walked deeper into the market along the wet street.

My steps stopped in front of a huge, dilapidated notice board.

The job posting was crookedly pasted on it.

Crab-tying worker: 50 yuan per hour.

Porter: Paid by piece, the more you do, the more you earn.

Ice transporter: Requires extremely strong physical strength.

These conditions made even pampered celebrities drool.

"I'd be exhausted after a day of this, wouldn't I?" Chen He rubbed his stomach and started to back out.

Deng Chao glanced at the time.

"Too many people, too much of a target. Let's split up and see who can find good work, and no one should hold anyone else back!"

"Agreed!" Lu Han raised her hand in agreement.

Standing to the side, Huang Bo caught a glimpse of the monitor screen on the cameraman's body.

The screen was filled with the same sentence.

"Please let them be a pair! Please! Let them be a pair!"

Huang Bo, being a shrewd person, would naturally not let go of favors and opportunities for the show that came his way.

He raised his hand and pointed to Chen Ye and Song Yuqi, who were standing by watching the show.

"Since we're splitting up," Huang Bo announced loudly, "Xiao Ye and Yu Qi will be in the same group."
