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

The door to room 302 closed, and the small living room was quiet for two seconds.

"so……"

Jiang Yunyou stroked his chin, deep in thought. "That huge bag that Sister Zizi brought—is it all in Director Liu's hands now?"

Su Yanhuan nodded in grief and indignation: "Sister Zizi must be heartbroken! That's her life!"

[Hahahaha, Huanhuan, you really understand your sister Zizi!]

[The hidden KPI for all the guests right now is probably: Defeat the production team and win back the snacks!]

Director Liu, you've successfully become public enemy number one (doge)

Second floor, suite 201 "Listening to the Tide".

Shen Yihuai opened the door, and Han Jingxue followed him inside.

The suite has a more tranquil style, with dark blue and gray-white tones. The living room is not large, but it is elegantly decorated and also has floor-to-ceiling windows and a small balcony.

The two bedrooms face each other.

Shen Yihuai put down his luggage, walked to the window, and opened it a crack.

The sound of the tides could be faintly heard; it was indeed very clear, but not noisy—it was a kind of regular white noise.

He pushed open the door to the master bedroom, glanced inside, and then pushed open the door to the second bedroom across the hall.

The master bedroom is large, and the second bedroom is a bit smaller, but both look quite comfortable.

He walked back to Han Jingxue and said, "You sleep in the master bedroom."

Han Jingxue looked up: "Reason?"

Shen Yihuai's lips curved slightly as he took a step closer and lowered his voice, "I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep at night if I sleep in the master bedroom."

Han Jingxue seemed to realize something, her pupils dilated slightly, and her face flushed red.

She glared at him, but her tone lacked power: "Shen Yihuai!"

"exist."

Shen Yihuai readily agreed, a smile spreading across his eyes, "So, the master bedroom is yours, I'll go to the second bedroom."

After he finished speaking, he picked up his suitcase and walked straight to the second bedroom. He glanced back at her at the door and said, "Get some rest, Teacher Han."

Then, he slowly closed the door to the second bedroom.

Han Jingxue stood at the door of the master bedroom, looking at the closed door opposite, her face still flushed.

After a long while, she finally let out a soft breath, pulled her suitcase into the master bedroom, and gently closed the door.

[What inappropriate things did Shen Yihuai say?! Sister Han's face turned bright red!]

"I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep if I sleep in the master bedroom"—Holy crap! Is this something I can hear?! Ms. Shen, are you driving a car heading to kindergarten?! Quick-acting heart medicine needed!

[This is like something out of a midnight movie! Combined with his austere face and deep voice, I'm totally speechless!]

[Han Jie is shy! Really! Her face is red from her ears to her neck! Who understands this innocent yet mature woman?!]

[Shen Yihuai flirted and ran away! He then closed the door and savored the moment alone? A master!]

[This push-and-pull dynamic between adults is pure gems! It's even more addictive than just giving out candy! (doge)]

Second floor, suite 202 "Picking Shells".

Fang Yutong opened the door, and Yu Shize followed her in.

The suite is decorated in a warm beige tone with many small ornaments of seashells and starfish, which makes it look very lively, but the atmosphere inside the room is quite the opposite.

"Shize, which room are you sleeping in?" Fang Yutong put down her handbag and asked gently.

Yu Shize glanced at the two bedrooms and casually pointed to the one closer to the door: "This one will do."

"Okay, then I'll sleep in the inner room." Fang Yutong smiled and carried her suitcase towards the master bedroom.

As she reached the door, she turned back and said to Shi Ze, "If anything happens tonight, feel free to call me."

Yu Shize twitched the corner of his mouth: "Yeah, you too."

Fang Yutong entered the master bedroom, closed the door, and the smile on her face instantly faded.

She walked to the window, her back to the camera, looking at the dark sea outside with a cold gaze.

She took out her phone; the screen showed her chat with her agent, the last message being from her agent:

"We can't get in touch with Young Master Liang. His father has taken over the company and is currently purging it. Keep a low profile and don't cause trouble, especially with Shu Zi."

Fang Yutong bit her lip and typed back, "Understood."

After sending the message, she went to the bathroom, looked at her meticulously made-up self in the mirror, and slowly revealed a smile she had practiced a thousand times.

There was little warmth in his eyes.

The first floor of the villa, the common area.

It was late-night snack time, and not everyone had arrived yet.

The long table was set with fruit, salad, sandwiches and juice.

Shuzi changed into comfortable loungewear, put on slippers, and swayed down listlessly.

Every pore on his body exudes a sad aura of "I don't want to live anymore because I've run out of snacks."

Gu Yan followed half a step behind her, his expression unchanged.

Su Yanhuan and Jiang Yunyou were already squatting by the table, picking through a bowl of lush green vegetable salad with forks, trying to find something edible besides the grass.

"Sister Zizi! Teacher Gu!"

Su Yanhuan, with her sharp eyes, immediately waved her hand, her little face scrunched up, "Come quick! There isn't even a decent piece of chicken breast in this salad!"

Shu Zi gave a weak "hmm," pulled out a chair and sat down opposite her, her gaze fixed blankly on the dry-looking whole-wheat sandwich in front of her.

She picked it up, took a small bite, chewed it a couple of times, but it tasted like nothing at all.

"Don't be sad, Sister Zizi," Jiang Yunyou tried to comfort her.

"Look, we didn't get anything either! We're both starving travelers, why bother with formalities?"

"Stop!"

Shu Zi lifted her eyelids and gave him a long, lingering glance:

"What you had was never going to happen, while mine was like a cooked duck—no, more like potato chips, jelly, and chocolate that were about to be eaten…all gone. How can the nature of these things be the same? Are the levels of pain even comparable?"

Jiang Yunyou: "..."

Makes sense.

Footsteps came from the other end of the stairs, unhurried and leisurely.

Shen Yihuai and Han Jingxue came down one after the other.

Han Jingxue changed into a silk robe and casually tied her long hair behind her head. Shen Yihuai also changed his clothes.

The two were about half a person's distance apart and didn't speak, but their quiet and intimate aura somehow made the shabby restaurant seem high-class.

"Sister Han! Teacher Shen!" Su Yanhuan perked up again, automatically taking on the role of the atmosphere-maker.

Han Jingxue nodded slightly to her, walked to Shu Zi's side, and naturally pulled out a chair to sit down.

Shen Yihuai then sat down opposite Han Jingxue, which was diagonally opposite Gu Yan.

Yu Shize was the last to come down.

He changed into a light gray hoodie and black sweatpants, his hair was simply styled, and he had a perfectly balanced smile that was both slightly tired and refreshing.

"Teacher Yu, where's Sister Yutong? Aren't you coming down for something to eat?" Su Yanhuan asked casually.

Yu Shize walked to the other end of the table and sat down in the empty seat next to Shen Yihuai. Hearing this, he smiled and spoke naturally:

"Yutong said she was a little tired today and wanted to rest early, so she wouldn't be coming down for dinner and asked me to apologize to everyone."

"Oh, I see. It's alright, it's alright. Rest is the most important thing." Su Yanhuan nodded, not thinking much of it.
