Gu Yueyue sighed inwardly several times.
She was unaware of Zhao Yuan's feelings for her before, but after Yin Yu's reminder, she suddenly realized it.
At first, she couldn't believe it because in her mind, Zhao Yuan was an excellent actor. They could be friends or colleagues. If their relationship developed into something else, she would find it very strange.
This strange feeling, along with the aversion to developing a further relationship with Zhao Yuan, made Gu Yueyue want to distance herself from him.
Xu Yi wasn't entirely unaware of this; she vaguely sensed that Miss Gu was avoiding Zhao Yuan.
But judging from Zhao Yuan's appearance, he was a man of great wealth and honor, blessed with both good fortune and virtuous deeds.
Xu Yi didn't understand why Miss Gu was avoiding Zhao Yuan. Logically speaking, being around someone like Zhao Yuan should be very comfortable.
Zhao Yuan naturally noticed that Gu Yueyue was avoiding him, and he smiled bitterly to himself, no longer speaking to her.
After driving for more than half an hour, we finally arrived at our destination.
The production team arranged a farmhouse for the eight guests to spend their first week there.
Yin Yu, the chief planner, is now also the owner of a farmhouse inn and is already waiting for all the guests at the inn.
After the vehicle stopped, Gu Yueyue and Xu Yi got out together, followed closely by Zhao Yuan.
Zhao Yuan originally wanted to help Gu Yueyue move her luggage, because there was a big step at the entrance of the farmhouse, and the heavy suitcases had to be carried up.
Before Zhao Yuan could even get started, he saw Xu Yi stack the three boxes together and effortlessly pick them up and take them away.
Seeing Xu Yi's actions, Gu Yueyue couldn't help but laugh and quickly followed after her. Naturally, the camera also followed Gu Yueyue closely, filming them closely.
"Alright, alright, it's all in. Put it down quickly. It's too tiring for you to carry so much stuff." Gu Yueyue was afraid of crushing her.
Xu Yi shook her head. "It's not heavy."
“It’s not heavy, so you can put it down.” Gu Yueyue placed her hand on her arm, and even through the thick down jacket, she could still feel the strength hidden under the clothes.
I really don't know why she's so amazing at such a young age.
Xu Yi put down her suitcase, and Gu Yueyue helped her pull it.
Actually, the steps there were arranged by the production team to create some drama and add some fun to the show.
As a result, it has now become Xu Yi's personal show.
Zhao Yuan was still there, carrying one box at a time; he carried four boxes by himself.
—I don't know why, but I suddenly feel sorry for Brother Zhao.
—I'm laughing so hard I can't stop! Seriously, how does he have so much stuff? Running around like that is so funny! Cameraman, stop showing him on camera! Doesn't our idol have any dignity? Hahahaha!
—Am I the only one who cares about Xu Yi and Gu Yueyue?
Xu Yi and Gu Yueyue arrived at the farmhouse courtyard. The courtyard was decorated in a warm and cozy style, with a strong sense of rural life.
A man and a woman ran out of the house; they were Yuan Beidu and Xia Lan.
As soon as Xia Lan saw Gu Yueyue, she ran towards her excitedly, calling out, "Teacher Gu, Teacher Gu!"
When Gu Yueyue saw Xia Lan rushing over, she instinctively dodged to Xu Yi's side. Xu Yi naturally pulled Gu Yueyue into his arms and pulled her aside.
As a result, Xia Lan, who was rushing towards him, unexpectedly bumped into Zhao Yuan, who had arrived late.
Zhao Yuan was knocked off balance by her collision, but luckily there were many suitcases nearby, which he managed to grab onto and regain his balance.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, Teacher Zhao, I didn't mean to. Are you alright?" Xia Lan was startled. She hadn't expected Gu Yueyue to dodge, and she certainly hadn't expected to bump into the newly crowned movie star.
Zhao Yuan smiled and waved his hands repeatedly: "Hey, it's nothing, don't be nervous. Even if you really drop me, I won't try to extort money from you, don't worry."
Hearing his teasing, Xia Lan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled shyly.
Gu Yueyue came over somewhat awkwardly and said to Xia Lan, "I'm sorry, you suddenly pounced on me, I had a bit of a shock reaction."
"It's alright, it's alright. It was my fault, I was too loud and boisterous." Although Xia Lan had a bit of a temper, she was also very straightforward and wouldn't dwell on the matter.
Under the camera's lens, Yuan Beidu maintained the airs of a high-quality idol, but in his mind, he was already mentally ranting about how he felt like an outsider.
"Welcome! We have a new guest at our cabin."
A woman emerged from the house, exuding a quiet and gentle demeanor, her smile conveying a sense of warmth and approachability.
The woman's name is Chen Sha, and everyone is familiar with her. She was an actress when she first debuted, but after acting for several years, she remained relatively unknown. Later, at the suggestion of her agent, she switched to variety shows.
You can see her on almost every well-known variety show in China. If she's not on a particular show, it just means that the show isn't popular enough or the investors aren't powerful enough.
Following her out was a male model. His appearance was nothing compared to Zhao Yuanyuan and Bei Du; he was only considered handsome, but he had a particularly good physique. As soon as he appeared, his imposing aura of 2.8 meters was overwhelming.
"He Tao! What brings you here too?" Yuan Beidu saw an old acquaintance and quickly went over to greet him.
He Tao's domineering aura vanished after being interrupted by Yuan Beidu, and he walked over with a simple and honest smile.
"We were just discussing when you guys would be coming," He Tao said with a smile, patting Yuan Beidu on the shoulder. "Long time no see, I've missed you so much."
"Miss me? You mean you want me to play games with you, right?"
"Hahaha, I want them all, I want them all."
He Taoyuan and Bei Du were reminiscing about old times.
Zhao Yuan was packing his luggage. Xia Lan offered to help him carry his suitcase as an apology, but Zhao Yuan refused her help. The two argued and tried to persuade each other.
Chen Sha walked slowly to Gu Yueyue and Xu Yi, her gaze casually drifting over them. Chen Sha couldn't help but ask with a smile, "I knew you two were close, but I only found out today. You're so close that you even hug each other when you walk!"
The camera suddenly zoomed in.
Startled, Gu Yueyue quickly stepped back from Xu Yi's embrace, secretly relieved that her makeup had covered her blush.
Xu Yi felt her arms suddenly empty, and her eyes darkened slightly.
"Go on in. There's someone waiting for you inside. They've prepared some nice things for you." Chen Sha eased Gu Yueyue's embarrassment and quickly went to Zhao Yuan and Xia Lan, urging Zhao Yuan to give Xia Lan a chance to shine.
Xia Lan insisted on helping Zhao Yuan, who was both amused and exasperated. After hearing Chen Sha's words, he began to concede: "Alright. You help me with that small box, I'll take care of the rest."
After finishing up here, I went to Yuan Beidu and He Tao's place and brought the two people, who couldn't wait to take out their phones and play games together, into the house.
Friends! The most exciting moment is almost here! The last guest will be revealed soon, so place your bets now!
—Let me make a bold guess about Lin Shizhi!
Wow, that's really bold! Well then, I'll be even bolder: I guess it's Lin Shizhi's wife, Yu Shumo!
—Have you guys gone this far? I'll just follow the trend and guess Han Muzhou.
—Han Muzhou: ? ? ? Sorry, I only care about filming, not variety shows.
—I'm dying of laughter. If I could invite Han Muzhou, I'd wash my hair upside down and draw Yin Yu on the ground with the bubbles!
As everyone entered the house, the television in the living room was on, playing another variety show starring Yin Yu. The guests who were originally watching the television were nowhere to be seen.
"Everyone's here." Chen Sha told everyone to take their luggage back to their rooms, and then come downstairs to play.
Yin Yu then appeared and distributed room cards to everyone.
"You know, we're a dating reality show, so the room assignments are quite interesting. Let me show you around first."
Yin Yu led them upstairs to see the apartment.
Each suite has only one door, leading to two smaller rooms, each containing two large double beds.
"How about it? Isn't our production team's setup incredibly thoughtful?"
Yin Yu boasted and led everyone inside, saying, "These two small rooms have a door that controls entry and exit, but it's a one-way door. That means you can only freely enter and exit the other person's room when both of you agree to open the door."
Xu Yi frowned slightly, quite disappointed. She thought she could sleep with Miss Gu, but it turned out they were only sleeping in the same room and were separated.
Gu Yueyue breathed a sigh of relief. This way, even if she and Xu Yi separated later, the child would not share a bed with other people, or even be overly intimate in the same room.
Yin Yu then led everyone to look through all the rooms, and then took out the small box used for drawing lots.
"Next, please come over and draw lots to determine your room for the first night. We will assign one roommate to the first roommate, and the other roommate can move out or change rooms at any time."
Yin Yu played very elaborate games, which put a lot of pressure on the guests.
At least Gu Yueyue and Xu Yi really didn't want to separate.

Chapter Sixty-Seven
During the drawing of lots, Xu Yi glanced at the box intentionally or unintentionally, desperately wanting to use magic to change the outcome.
However, she quickly remembered what Ono had said before she came: the lottery system arranged by the production team was usually predetermined, otherwise any mishaps would be detrimental to the subsequent plans.
Xu Yi didn't want to attract too much attention, so she gave up on the idea.
Gu Yueyue kept looking at the box, hoping that she and Xiao Xu would draw the same one.
Yin Yu stood next to the box, letting everyone line up to draw a prize. She looked at Gu Yueyue, whose face was full of anticipation, and couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile. How could this girl still be so naive? Was this something to look forward to? Didn't she know it had already been planned?
Gu Yueyue knew, of course, that the decision had already been made, but she remembered that Yin Yu had mentioned Xu Yi to her several times before she came, and she had also revealed some of her own thoughts to Yin Yu. She thought that Yin Yu would help her.
After everyone had drawn their cards, Gu Yueyue's expression froze, but she quickly recovered, though the smile on her face always carried a hint of falsehood.
Yin Yu announced the results with a smile:
"Zhao Yuan, He Tao. Room number one, the room owner is Zhao Yuan."
"Gu Yueyue, Chen Sha. Room number two, the room owner is Gu Yueyue."
“Yuan Beidu, Xia Lan. Room number three, the owner is Yuan Beidu.”
Xu Yi looked around and raised her hand, saying, "PD Yin, I won't be in your group, will I?"
Yin Yu winked at her, and Yingying laughed out loud: "You want to be in my group?"
"He probably does want to," Xu Yi replied, even feigning anticipation for the sake of the show. However, her acting was far too exaggerated.
—Oh my god, this is hilarious. Xu Yi, what are you thinking? You practically have your disgust written all over your face.
