To the right was a flower bed filled with flowers of different colors. Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at it and then looked away.
In front of us is a three-story building. Since it's a rural-themed variety show, I imagine there are probably some vegetables or something similar growing in the backyard.
But now is not the time to explore these things. After Tang Xue and Lin Xiaoxiao went inside,
They found that there was only one person on the huge first floor. He looked to be in his forties or fifties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and was sitting on the sofa reading a book.
Hearing the noise, the man looked up and saw two girls standing at the door.
The sunlight streaming through the window fell on the two of them. Seemingly dazzled by the sunlight, the man squinted.
"Teacher Chen."
Lin Xiaoxiao stepped forward and greeted them, while Tang Xue followed suit a step later.
Chen Xingyu was also a remarkably talented singer in his youth.
However, at the height of his popularity, he was embroiled in a plagiarism scandal, and he has been fighting the case ever since.
Although they ultimately won, because they had spent too much time and energy on this matter, they gradually faded from the public eye in the ever-changing entertainment industry.
Before coming, Tang Xue and Lin Xiaoxiao had done their homework, so they recognized each other at a glance.
"Hello, please come and sit down." Chen Xingyu put down the book he was holding. "Come and have a cup of tea."
"Teacher Chen, let's go put our luggage down first." Lin Xiaoxiao pointed to the suitcase next to her.
"Look at me, I'd completely forgotten about that." Chen Xingyu patted his forehead.
Tang Xue and Lin Xiaoxiao smiled at Chen Xingyu, then carried their suitcases to the second floor.
There were four rooms on the second floor. Since they were the second to arrive, they had more options. Because they couldn't stay together, the two of them chose rooms next to each other.
[It's Chen Xingyu. I feel so sorry for him. I used to listen to his songs. He was such a talented person, but he encountered such a terrible thing.]
Yes, it's been rare to see him active in the entertainment industry these past few years. I used to really like his songs.
[I'm looking forward to Teacher Chen releasing new songs in the future. I'm a fan of his and have been following his news. I was really excited to learn that he participated in this program.]
Yes, yes, I'm about to cry. I miss his spirited young self so much.
Don't be sad, everyone. Our teacher is becoming more active again, which means we'll still have the chance to see her concerts in the future.
[Yes, yes, everyone should be happy!]
When Chen Xingyu was young, he was an idol in the hearts of many people. Even though he faded out of the entertainment industry later, his fans have always been looking forward to his return.
Although this time we saw Chen Xingyu on a variety show, for fans, it seems like they can already see Chen Xingyu standing on the stage again.
"Looks like I'm the second one to arrive. Hello, Teacher Chen, I'm Xiao Yu from Xingyu Entertainment."
The girl, dragging her suitcase into the living room, had her hair tied in a neat ponytail and was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts for easy movement. Her eyebrows were curved, and her bright eyes were full of happiness and curiosity.
Xiao Yu is a newcomer at Xingyu Entertainment. The company sent her to participate in this program without any expectation that she would become a big star.
I just wanted to use this platform to give her some exposure, and if I could gain a following, that would be even better.
“Someone got here a little earlier than you and is putting their luggage upstairs.” Chen Xingyu pointed upstairs with a gentle smile on his face. He had a good impression of this girl with her bright, smiling eyes.
The other person looked young, probably a recent college graduate, and exuded youthful energy, making Chen Xingyu feel as if he had become a few years younger himself.
"Teacher Chen, I'll go put my luggage away first." Xiao Yu said to Chen Xingyu, picked up her suitcase, and hurried upstairs.
Chapter 73
==================
This episode of "Rural Life" invited eight guests: four celebrities and four ordinary people.
Ordinary people can be friends or family members of celebrities, or they can be invited by the program team.
In this episode, apart from Lin Xiaoxiao who came with Tang Xue, the other three non-celebrity participants were all found by the production team.
When Tang Xue and Lin Xiaoxiao finished putting down their luggage and came downstairs, there were already several more people in the living room.
Besides Chen Xingyu, whom they saw at the beginning, there was also a girl with a ponytail and two boys carrying suitcases.
The two of them didn't look very old, probably around twenty years old.
"Hello, Teacher Tang. Hello, President Lin." The young girl stood up from her seat and greeted the two men.
"Hello," Tang Xue replied to Lin Xiaoxiao, and then nodded to the two boys standing next to her.
The two boys were twins, and they were wearing the same clothes. If it weren't for the different colors of their suitcases, you would really think they were the same person.
From this, we can infer that these two people, like Lin Xiaoxiao, are ordinary people.
"Let's go put our luggage down first." After saying goodbye to the others, the two carried their suitcases upstairs.
"Come over and have a cup of tea," Chen Xingyu waved to Tang Xue and Lin Xiaoxiao.
"Thank you, Teacher Chen." The two didn't stand on ceremony and found a place to sit down.
"My name is Xiao Yu. I hope I won't cause any trouble for everyone during the upcoming filming."
After the two sat down, Xiao Yu stood up and said with a smile, "I don't have any other skills, but I'm a little confident in my physical strength. If there's anything that requires physical strength in the future, you can leave it to me."
Xiao Yu is a very cute girl. You can tell that she has a very straightforward personality and doesn't seem to have any ulterior motives.
"Tang Xue, I'm fairly confident in my cooking skills. If you don't mind, you can give me this task."
“I can help too,” Lin Xiaoxiao replied with a smile. “Of course, you can also come to me if you need any physical strength.”
For us young people, the only thing we don't lack is this much strength.
Tang Xue turned to look at Lin Xiaoxiao, pursing her lips slightly. So, was this guy saying she didn't have much strength?
"What's wrong?" Lin Xiaoxiao blinked, looking completely innocent.
Tang Xue looked away, her eyes lowered slightly. "It's nothing." It's not important. Anyway, she'll have plenty of opportunities to prove that she's strong too.
Lin Xiaoxiao, wondering what Tang Xue was thinking, tilted her head in confusion, reached out and touched Tang Xue's arm, and whispered, "Are you really okay?"
"No," Tang Xue replied in a low voice as well.
Xiao Yu, who had been observing the two of them, revealed an excited light when she saw this scene, and even the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
[That expression looks familiar; it's exactly how I look right now.]
Seeing that familiar, doting smile, I have reason to suspect that this young girl named Xiao Yu participated in this show just to ship a popular couple.
I'm so envious! I can ship couples up close like that.
Just as the audience guessed, Xiao Yu's participation in the show was something she had worked hard to secure.
As for the purpose, just as the audience said, it was to ship the couples that were close by. Xiao Yu didn't care much about whether she could gain attention on the show.
Because the moment she saw Tang Xue and Lin Xiaoxiao, she felt content.
Seeing the two of them so sweet and affectionate, Xiao Yu felt her blood pressure was about to rise.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?" Lin Xiaoxiao was very sensitive to other people's gazes and immediately noticed that someone was staring at her.
"It's nothing, I just felt that President Lin and Teacher Tang have a very good relationship." Xiao Yu touched her nose a little embarrassedly.
Although she knew it was impolite to stare at others like that, she really couldn't control her gaze when looking at those two people.
It's so sweet! Xiao Yu really wanted to shout it out loud, but she couldn't. She could only suppress her excitement, which made the smile on her face look slightly distorted.
Xiao Yu's slightly distorted face made Lin Xiaoxiao's lips twitch. "We're friends, it's normal for us to have a good relationship."
She didn't know why, but she always felt a little uneasy about the way Xiao Yu looked at her.
But she couldn't sense any malice in the other person's eyes, only that fervent gaze...
Wait, frenzy? Lin Xiaoxiao thought she was seeing things. By the time she wanted to take a closer look, Xiao Yu had already looked away.
Lin Xiaoxiao frowned, picked up her teacup and took a sip of tea, her mind filled with questions. Why did she see fervor in the other person's eyes?
Tang Xue nudged Lin Xiaoxiao's arm. "What's wrong?"
Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head. It was hard to say. She couldn't very well tell Tang Xue that Xiao Yu was a problem.
Tang Xue frowned slightly, her gaze sweeping over Xiao Yu, but she didn't ask any more questions. They were currently live-streaming, and it wasn't appropriate to continue asking about certain things.
The group chatted for a while, and then the two boys who had gone upstairs to put their luggage down came down as well, continuing their conversation.
We also gained a general understanding of the two boys' situation. We heard that they were caught by the program crew while they were shopping.
Seeing that they were very good-looking, I invited them to participate in this program. The two of them were just visiting the city and thought it would be interesting, so they agreed.
[I got picked up on the street! Oh my god! I'm going to wander around the busiest street right now, but what if the production crew picks me up?]
[Friend upstairs, wake up! They've taken enough people; they're not taking any more.]
[Sobbing, I'm crying so hard! I really want to go to the event and ship this couple!]
I think Xiao Yu is such a happy girl.
She was indeed quite happy, but friends, did you notice President Lin's expression? President Lin's expression was absolutely hilarious.
[Hahaha, they were probably scared off by the kids' enthusiasm.]
The atmosphere among the people who came on the show has been quite harmonious since they sat down to chat, and everyone has gotten along quite well.
Because this is a rural-themed program, viewers seem to really enjoy this leisurely lifestyle, the comments are friendly, and there are no disruptive individuals.
"It must be other people coming." Hearing the noise outside, Chen Xingyu put down his teacup, and the others stood up as well.
"Teacher Lin." Tang Xue's eyes lit up when she saw the woman pushing a suitcase in, her voice tinged with surprise.
Lin Xin, 35 years old this year, is already an actress who has won two Best Actress awards.
He is a very talented actor and Tang Xue's idol. Tang Xue really didn't expect to meet her idol on this show.
[Holy crap, it's Lin Xin! Is this some kind of extravagant production for "Rural Life"? They even managed to get Lin, the movie star, to participate.]
[This isn't right. Didn't the guest list previously released by the production team include Lu Yu?]
[I know that. It seems that Lu Yu's schedule didn't work out, so they replaced her. But I really didn't expect the production team to be able to invite this award-winning actress.]
We really have to give a thumbs up to our idyllic rural life! Is this a sign of its rise to prominence?
I have a feeling that idyllic rural life is about to become a hit.
