Not only was Lin Jindu’s expression priceless, but the smiles on the faces of the on-site directing team were about to soar up to the sun and beyond.

Director Li, looking at the monitor, couldn’t contain his laughter, “Mr. Lin can’t handle it, huh? He’s already showing signs of weakness on the first day. I thought he had more endurance.”

The assistant director also chuckled happily, “Come on, it’s one thing to resist temptation in front of ordinary people, but if he can’t resist in front of Mr. Jin, then I seriously doubt his abilities.”

Director Li nodded in agreement, “Indeed, no one can resist Mr. Ji natural charm.”

Recalling something, he turned to the scriptwriter and said, “Xu, let’s follow today’s intimacy level for the upcoming scripts.”

Scriptwriter Xu adjusted his glasses, “Don’t worry, Director Li. There’s no maximum intimacy level, only increasing intimacy. I promise to make Mr. Lin and Mr. Ji relationship sparkle from the beginning.”

Director Li trusted Xu’s skills and nodded, “That sounds good. This way, Song Producer and I will be satisfied too.”

Back at the recording site, Cheng Song saw both pairs of guests completing their tasks and clapped his hands, “Well done, brothers. Now, Mr. Ji and Mr. Lin can return to the sofa to rest.”

Ji Chengyi nodded calmly and walked towards the sofa.

Lin Jindu put on his shoes and followed behind Ji Chengyi, maintaining a composed and natural demeanor on his face.

But only he knew deep down that his reaction just now…

Something is not quite right.

Lin Jindu was an extremely rational person and would never allow himself to make a mistake in any situation.

He maintained a composed demeanor, but deliberately kept a bit of distance from Ji Chengyi when sitting down.

“Mr. Lin.”

Before he could even settle down, Lin Jindu heard Ji Chengyi calling him.

Lin Jindu responded, “Yes?”

His body involuntarily moved closer to sit beside Ji Chengyi .

Ji Chengyi looked at him, his tone serious, “You worked hard just now.”

It was merely following the program’s flow, not a heartfelt sentiment.

Ji Chengyi wanted to reiterate his appreciation.

Lin Jindu gazed back at him intently.

He knew Ji Chengyi was principled, but he didn’t expect him to be so principled.

For Ji Chengyi, words must be spoken while looking earnestly into the other person’s eyes to be genuine. Even if it was a seemingly casual remark, he would emphasize it again by meeting your gaze once more.

But just now, Lin Jindu didn’t sense any pretense in those words…

However, upon reflection, he found it quite fitting with Ji Chengyi’s calm and adorable demeanor.

Lin Jindu couldn’t help but feel like smiling.

Yet, as his lips began to curl upwards, he caught himself and suppressed the impulse.

“No problem,” Lin Jindu’s voice was low, with a touch of deliberate calmness.

【Mr. Lin, you’re such a great actor! Smiling.jpg】

【I used to have no interest in this CEO couple, but with the way you’re speaking, I might have to eat my words. Smiling.jpg】

【Friends, I’m cracking up! Remember when people used to complain about the CEO couple’s bland interactions? How times have changed! Facepalm.jpg】

【Exactly, some were demanding to fast forward earlier, now the CEO couple’s livestream has the most viewers. Haha.jpg】

【First marriage, then love, amazing!!!】

While the two were whispering, Yu Heyan and Chi Xingwen were also assigned by Cheng Song to present the prize to the first-place winners, Yi Fei and Dong Shen, under the pretext of completing the punishment task.

Yu Heyan had no particular feelings towards Yi Fei and Dong Shen, a couple who ignited their fame through flaunting their affection. However, he cooperated in presenting the prize to them for winning first place.

After awarding the prize, Cheng Song clapped his hands and continued with the program, “Alright, everyone who came from afar, you’ve all worked hard today. Your respective rooms are ready, so please lead your partners to rest in your rooms according to the arrival order.”

Yao Tong had mentioned he was hungry earlier, so Shao Wenlun was the first to ask, “How are we going to solve dinner?”

Cheng Song said, “You don’t need to prepare dinner. Someone will call you down for the meal later.”

Yao Tong seemed skeptical, “Is the production team this generous?”

Cheng Song chuckled, “Yao Tong, why would you say that? The production team has always been good.”

Yao Tong grunted, “Don’t think I haven’t watched the first season. I know how the previous guests suffered.”

Cheng Song smiled but remained silent.

Shao Wenlun draped his arm over Yao Tong’s shoulder, “Alright, let’s go rest first. You need to rest well so you have the energy to suffer on my behalf.”

Yao Tong playfully chased after him.

To provide editing material for the production team, the four pairs of guests went upstairs together to view their rooms.

Yu Heyan and Chi Xingwen were the last to arrive at the cabin, so they were assigned room number four for the night.

Room number four was on the second floor, a very basic and plain bunk bed setup without any windows.

Even though Yao Tong knew what the production team was like, he couldn’t help but be shocked, “Isn’t this room too small?”

Chi Xingwen’s expression wasn’t any better. His eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the staff, “Can you guys be honest with me? This is basically a utility room that you’ve converted, right?”

The staff members chuckled but didn’t respond.

At this point, Yu Heyan started to play the good guy, “Sorry, Xingwen, we’ll have to make do with staying in this basic room today.”

Secretly, he was delighted. He didn’t want to share a bed with anyone else in front of Ji Chengyi.

Yu Heyan couldn’t shake off thoughts of Ji Chengyi. Ji Chengyi took a quick look at his room and then headed upstairs to the third floor.

Chi Xingwen, eager to bond with Ji Chengyi, hurriedly followed him, “Heyan, you go rest first. I’ll go check out Mr. Ji’s room.”

Yu Heyan would definitely have a ghostly encounter if he listened to him, so he set down his luggage and followed the rest upstairs.

On the third floor, there were two rooms. Ji Chengyi immediately noticed the sign with a heart-shaped number 3.

“Oh, that’s our room!” Yao Tong pointed to the other room with the number 2 and turned to Ji Chengyi, “Mr. Ji, we’re neighbors across the hall!”

Ji Chengyi smiled lightly, “Hmm.”

Yao Tong didn’t find Ji Chengyi’s response cold and even pulled Shao Wenlun along, “Let’s go check out Mr. Ji and Mr. Lin’s room first!”

Ji Chengyi naturally didn’t refuse. He walked over, opened the door, revealing a clean and tidy room. Although not spacious, it had a private bathroom and shower.

However…

“This bed is so small,” Yi Fei looked at the bed in the room, expressing concern, “Will two people sleeping be at risk of falling off at night?”

Ji Chengyi, looking at the bed that was only 1.2 * 2 meters, fell into silence.

“It’s alright, right?” Yao Tong thought it was fine, “It’s enough for two people to cuddle.”

Ji Chengyi fell even quieter.

Lin Jindu glanced at the camera, as if questioning Director Li silently.

Taking advantage of Lin Jindu not seeing him, Director Li innocently smiled, “Don’t blame me, it’s you who got third place.”

Even though Yu Heyan didn’t want to share a bed with Chi Xingwen, he felt even more annoyed at the thought of his Brother Yi sharing such a small bed with another man.

“This bed won’t fit Mr. Lin, right?” Yu Heyan pretended to be generous, “Why don’t Mr. Lin and Yì-ge stay in our room, and Xingwen and I will stay in this one.”

【Oh no, my Yu Heyan is such a kind person. Touching.jpg】

【Even though Yu Heyan’s intentions are good, I advise you to hold off for now. Smiling.jpg】

【Good intentions? Not so sure about that. Pouting.jpg】

【Do you guys have a problem? Anyway, my Yu Heyan can’t do anything right, right? Mindlessly criticizing is all you do! Smiling.jpg】

【Mindless fans are referring to you, right? Smiling.jpg】

Yu Heyan’s fans might not be aware of his hidden thoughts, but Lin Jindu was acutely aware.

Upon hearing this, he glanced at Yu Heyan, his eyes deep and serious, “No need, since we lost, we should follow the rules.”

Yu Heyan: …

Nonsense!

Upon hearing the word “rules,” Ji Chengyi also suppressed his emotions and nodded, saying, “Mr. Lin is right, so thank you, Mr. Yu, for your kind offer.”

This was the first time Ji Chengyi had initiated a conversation with Yu Heyan today, and Yu Heyan’s tail was nearly wagging to the sky.

Just as he was about to tell Ji Chengyi  not to thank him, Ji Chengyi  turned to Yao Tong, “Let’s go check out Mr. Yao and Mr. Shao’s room.”

Yao Tong smiled and agreed, “Let’s go! Let’s see our room!”

The group then went to see Yao Tong and Shao Wenlun’s room.

As the second-place winners, Yao Tong and Shao Wenlun naturally had a nice room, complete with a private bathroom and a large bed, and even a floor-to-ceiling window with a view of the sea.

Chi Xingwen looked enviously at the room, “Wow! This room is so beautiful! Yao, can I join you tonight?”

Yao Tong turned him around to face Yi Fei and Dong Shen, “Don’t forget we also have the first-place winners.”

Chi Xingwen looked at Yi Fei and suddenly seemed uneasy, “What should I do? I suddenly don’t want to see Yi Fei and his room, it must be the best!”

Despite not wanting to go, the group still proceeded to the fourth floor.

On the fourth floor, there was only one room.

Yi Fei pushed open the door, revealing a stunning sight that captured everyone’s attention.

Room number four was a suite with a sunlit living room as soon as you entered. Through the large floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, one could see the endless expanse of the azure sea outside.

Chi Xingwen entered the room in awe, passing the master bedroom, where he was once again drawn to the view from the bedroom, “Mr. Ji, come see this! Yi Fei’s bedroom also has a large floor-to-ceiling window!”

Ji Chengyi walked over and indeed saw a panoramic floor-to-ceiling window in the master bedroom, offering a beautiful view.

“Jealousy has transformed me entirely!” Chi Xingwen hummed.

Yi Fei gently reassured him, “Xingwen, don’t be sad. Strive to get first place next time.”

Chi Xingwen sighed, “Forget it, everyone knows that Yi Fei and Dong Shen have the best relationship. If these few days are about teamwork, no one can beat you guys.”

After viewing all the rooms, the guests each retired to their respective rooms to rest.

Ji Chengyi and Lin Jindu returned to their small room, momentarily unsure where to rest. They stood still for a while, unsure of what to do.

The room was so small that aside from the bed and a set of table and chairs, there was barely a one-meter-wide pathway to move around.

In all honesty, this room had a smaller area than the bathrooms in the two CEOs’ homes.

【Is my screen frozen? Why isn’t anything moving?】

【I don’t know, mine’s frozen too???】

【I wonder… could it be that the two CEOs really haven’t moved? Just standing there?】

【This awkward situation reminds me of the first time living with a boyfriend…】

【??? Don’t tell me the two CEOs were living separately before???】

【!!! If you’re going to bring that up, I’ll burst out laughing! Hilarious! This bed is so small! Mr. Lin couldn’t sleep with his beautiful wife the first night, ended up sleepless! Is this a distortion of human nature or a moral decline? Stay tuned for the CEO couple’s live stream room to find out!】

【The person above knows how to write headlines. Hilarious.jpg】

However, Ji Chengyi didn’t feel embarrassed at all.

He simply didn’t know where to rest.

Ji Chengyi didn’t have the habit of lying on the bed without freshening up, nor did he enjoy sitting on hard benches. The only way he could truly relax was by sinking into a soft sofa and unwinding.

Unfortunately, there was no sofa in the room.

After a moment of silence, Ji Chengyi decided to freshen up first.

“Mr. Lin,” he turned to Lin Jindu, “Do you need to use the bathroom now?”

Lin Jindu lowered his gaze and replied, “No.”

Ji Chengyi then said, “I’ll go freshen up first then.”

Lin Jindu nodded, “Go ahead, Mr. Ji. I’ll go ask the assistant to bring the laptop.”

After that, he turned to the cameraman, “You can leave now, right?”

Cameraman: …

【Cameraman, I advise you to stand your ground! Tell him you’re not leaving!】

【Mr. Lin, please clarify your position. Mr. Ji is now everyone’s “wife”! Why shouldn’t us, the loving husbands, watch our wife bathe… oh no, I mean freshen up!! So fierce!】

【Just leave if you want, cameraman. If you leave, isn’t there still a fixed camera?】

However…

There wasn’t.

The other guests’ rooms were equipped with cameras, but the rooms of the two CEOs were left without any. This decision was made considering that the CEOs might handle work in their rooms, and if any sensitive information accidentally leaked on the live stream, it would be a huge liability.

So, the cameraman decided to take on the task of capturing more footage himself. However, as soon as he set up the equipment, he heard Lin Jindu’s stern voice reprimanding him. Feeling aggrieved, the cameraman obediently left the room.

Once the cameraman closed the door behind him, Ji Chengyi  and Lin Jindu’s live stream room fell into complete darkness.

Director Li promptly muted the microphones of the two CEOs that were still connected to the live stream.

The sudden disappearance of the video and sound puzzled the viewers in the live chat for a few brief moments before chaos erupted.

The barrage of comments started mentioning the show’s responsible personnel and directors, demanding the release of Ji Chengyi, or else they threatened to create havoc in the live stream. One particularly disgruntled comment even joked: 【The desire to cause chaos has even reached the live stream. Smiling.jpg】

However, Ji Chengyi was unaware of these developments. After closing the door, he went to his luggage to retrieve his toiletries.

Thinking ahead to later activities, Ji Chengyi decided to forget pajamas and opted for a bathrobe instead. This way, he wouldn’t have to change clothes again before going out later.

But as he picked up the bathrobe, he suddenly remembered something and turned to Lin Jindu, “Mr. Lin, can I wear a bathrobe in the room?”

Ji Chengyi doesn’t have many clothing preferences; as long as he’s comfortable, he’s fine. However, Lin Jindu is different. Lin Jindu places great importance on manners and appearance.

Having known each other for so long, Ji Chengyi has only seen Lin Jindu not properly dressed once, and that was when he returned exhausted from a business trip and fell asleep immediately. Since then, Ji Chengyi hasn’t seen Lin Jindu disheveled again.

Lin Jindu is always meticulous in his suits or neatly dressed in casual wear and pajamas. Even when he swam in the swimming pool on the lower level, he appeared in front of Ji Chengyi only after changing clothes, never opting for the convenience of just a bathrobe.

Ji Chengyi was a bit concerned that Lin Jindu might mind his attire, so he thought it would be polite to ask.

Lin Jindu was about to fetch the laptop when he heard Ji Chengyi’s question. He stopped in his tracks, turned around to look at Ji Chengyi’s brown eyes, feeling a bit puzzled.

Had he ever displayed domineering or impolite behavior in front of Ji Chengyi? Why did he feel like he would hold others to his own standards?

Feeling both helpless and amused inwardly, Lin Jindu maintained a calm expression and replied, “Mr. Ji, feel free to dress as you like. I’m not that demanding.”
