I was criticized on a dating reality show, but I retaliated and became an internet sensation.

[Hahaha, Director Liu is really going to great lengths to ensure the "innocence" of this year's guests!]

"No mixed-use rooms allowed!" Director Liu, are you afraid someone will accidentally walk into the wrong room in the middle of the night?

[A suite is great! There's a small shared living room where you can chat privately~]

I'm already imagining what it'll be like visiting each other's homes tonight!

"I understand!" the guests replied in varying degrees of confusion.

"good!"

The host then continued, "Now, each group, please send a representative to come forward and draw the keys to your 'home' for the next seven days—that is, your suite key!"

"The order of selection will be based on the ranking of the selection rights just now."

"First, please welcome the first group, Ms. Gu Yan and Ms. Shu Zi!"

Gu Yan and Shu Zi stepped forward.

The host took out a lottery box, and Gu Yan reached in and pulled out an exquisite conch shell keychain with words engraved on it.

The host took it and announced loudly:

"Teachers Gu Yan and Shu Zi, you've drawn Suite Number One, the 'Stargazing' Suite! Located on the third floor of the villa, it boasts a private viewing terrace!"

Gu Yan took the conch shell engraved with "301 Stargazing" and nodded slightly.

Shu Zi leaned closer to take a look at the conch shell and muttered, "Stargazing... sounds like there might be a lot of mosquitoes."

Gu Yan glanced at her: "I have mosquito repellent."

Shu Zi: "..."

[Shuzi's focus is always so peculiar! Mosquitoes!]

[Just wondering, would a CEO use mosquito repellent?]

[Stargazing Suite! Third Floor! The view is definitely the best!]

[Tsk, the name sounds so romantic! It's a pity we have to sleep in separate rooms (doge)]

Next, Shen Yihuai and Han Jingxue stepped forward to draw.

Shen Yihuai took his hand out of the lottery box, a seashell-shaped keychain hooked between his fingers.

The host took it and read the words on it aloud:

Congratulations to Professor Shen Yihuai and Professor Han Jingxue for drawing the second-floor suite 201, "Listening to the Tide," characterized by its tranquility and superb acoustic design!

Shen Yihuai took the seashell key, weighed it in his palm, turned his head, and said to Han Jingxue in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"It should be very quiet when I sleep at night."

Upon hearing this, Han Jingxue glanced at him but didn't reply, though her eyes conveyed the message, "That's for the best."

"Very quiet"...Teacher Shen, what are you implying? (doge)

[The Tide-Listening Suite—that name, combined with Shen Yihuai's deep voice, already makes me imagine whispers in his ear at night!]

[Han Jie's eyes: You dare to be noisy? Ahhhhh, kill me, kill me, kill me!]

There's an unspoken understanding between them now; they don't need to say much, a single glance is enough.

"Next, please welcome the third group, Ms. Fang Yutong and Mr. Yu Shize!"

Fang Yutong walked forward with an elegant smile, and Yu Shize followed half a step behind her.

Fang Yutong reached into the lottery box, her fingertips touching the remaining keys. She seemed to hesitate for a moment before taking one out.

It's a starfish-shaped keychain.

"Congratulations to teachers Fang Yutong and Yu Shize for drawing the second-floor suite 202, 'Picking Shells'! It's cozy and comfortable, right next to 'Listening to the Tide'!" the host introduced with a smile.

Fang Yutong took the keychain and smiled at Shi Ze: "Shi Ze, we live in 202, next to Teacher Shen and Sister Han."

Yu Shize nodded: "Yes, that's good."

Polite yet distant.

[Right next door... compared to the couple next door, the atmosphere here is like night and day]

Yu Shize's "It's fine" sounded so dismissive. How could he treat Tongtong like that? Couldn't he just speak properly?

The "Shell Picking Suite" might just leave you with nothing but awkward silence.

"Finally, the remaining suite on the third floor, 302 'Riding the Waves,' will automatically be reserved for our teachers, Mr. Jiang Yunyou and Ms. Su Yanhuan!"

The host announced with a smile, "Located next to the 'Stargazing' suite, it also has a terrace!"

"Yes! Treading Waves! That's a cool name!" Jiang Yunyou cheered immediately, and Su Yanhuan's eyes lit up as well. The two happily came over to take the last key.

"Let's go, Su Yanhuan, let's go see our suite! The view from the third floor is definitely amazing!" Jiang Yunyou couldn't wait.

Su Yanhuan was also excited, but she didn't forget the primary task: "Let's check if there's anything good to eat in the communal kitchen fridge! Moving is hard work!"

[They're so happy to have automatically gotten the Wave Rider Suite!]

[Clear objectives: Jiang Yunyou – play and broaden his horizons; Su Yanhuan – eat!]

[The hilarious comedy duo never has a dull moment! I'm already looking forward to their daily life on the third floor, hahaha!]

"Okay! Suite allocation complete!"

The host clapped, "Now, please take your luggage and follow the staff to our dream villas to check into your respective suites!"

"The live stream will follow everyone into the villa's common areas and the small living rooms of each suite. There are also live stream cameras inside the bedrooms, which you can turn off when you go to sleep."

[A camera in the bedroom?! Wow, that's exciting!]

[Upstairs, can you turn it off? What are you thinking? (doge)]

[Director Liu: I've done my best. The rest is up to you all!]

[The live streams from the common areas and small living room are fantastic! I want to live in the studio and never leave!]

The group, carrying their luggage, walked towards a brightly lit, three-story modern-style seaside villa not far away, guided by the staff.

As night deepened, the sea breeze, carrying a salty and damp scent, dispelled the daytime heat.

The villa's exterior is a clean white, and the huge floor-to-ceiling windows let in warm light from the interior.

Stepping into the first floor of the villa, you'll find a spacious, high-ceilinged living room that connects to an open kitchen and dining area. The style is simple and modern, with a spiral staircase leading to the second and third floors.

"Alright, teachers, this will be our shared 'home' for the next seven days."

The host stood in the center of the living room:

"The first floor is a common area, and we replenish the kitchen ingredients daily."

"Now, please go back to your respective suites according to the room number on your key and settle in. If you're interested, you can come down later for some late-night snacks and a chat."

"Alright, the live stream continues, see you from different perspectives!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the live stream split into four small windows, following four groups of people as they walked down different staircases.

Third floor, suite 301 "Stargazing".

Gu Yan used the conch shell key to open the door.

The room is a spacious living room with a beige sofa and a light wood coffee table.

One wall is a floor-to-ceiling window, outside which is a spacious terrace. In the night, you can see the twinkling lights of fishing boats on the distant sea, and the Milky Way overhead is dazzlingly bright.

There is a door on each side of the living room, labeled Master Bedroom and Second Bedroom.
