For a moment, the audience was divided.

【I don’t believe there’s a heart this big in this world.】

【If it were me, I would not be able to resist getting close to my brother. Sticking to Brother.jpg】

【Brother is the world’s favorite.】

【I don’t believe it! How can you sleep with such a super handsome guy by your side? Anchor, do you have no heart?】

Even though many viewers believe it wasn’t possible for anyone to sleep with such a hot movie king sitting on the side, facts proved there was really a person who could.

Moreover, not only did the other party regard the movie king as nothing, but she also seemed to be sleeping soundly. In front of more than 100,000 viewers, she performed the art of falling asleep and even smacked her mouth.

They had no idea what kind of beautiful dream she was having.

The audience fell into a strange silence for a while. Facts speak louder than words and they couldn’t help but believe it.

【Anchor: There are no worldly desires.】

【Anchor: Men, they only affect the speed at which I fall asleep.】

【I really want to shake the anchor to wake her up. Wake up, Anchor, the one sitting on the stone chair next to you is Lu, Jing, Du!】

【This man you’re ignoring is the most distant yet also the most wonderful dream that a lot of girls could never get.】

【What you don’t care about is the person that others think about day and night.】

【Anchor, you really don’t know a blessing when you have it.】

No matter how much the audience complained, Ning Xiaoyu, the person in question, remained oblivious to it.

It might be because there were tasks to do daily, so in her dream, Ning Xiaoyu was also doing one.

In it, her only task was to make the movie king happy.

Make him happy?

Ning Xiaoyu pondered. Were there many things that made him unhappy? But to an outsider, he already looks like a proper winner in life.

If there’s a heavenly way in this world, the son of heaven would definitely be Lu Jingdu. Since he became a three-time movie king, he has spent most of the years outside the limelight. But even though he was hardly in any project, the entertainment world was still full of talks about him.

He was a proper traffic star.

If she was Lu Jingdu— rich, good-looking, and with money she couldn’t spend all in her lifetime— she would probably be laughing even in her dreams.

Then, she really dreamed of that scene.

Her father woke up from his coma.

She had more money than she could ever spend in a lifetime and could remain a salted fish forever.

So…… she really laughed.

This laugh woke her right up. Ning Xiaoyu was confused for several seconds.

The dream was so wonderful that she didn’t want to wake up so soon. One must know that it was the realization of her real dream. Her biggest dream in life was just to be a salted fish.

Soon, however, she remembered her task.

She had no idea how long she had slept, but the sun wasn’t as cozy as it was earlier. She hurriedly sat up from the grass, then turned her head and looked towards the place where Lu Jingdu was sitting.

As a result, she was immediately surprised.

The place where the person was sitting before was now empty.

She looked around and found that she was alone in the small garden.

She couldn’t help calling the love system in her mind, “Where is he?”

The love system was silent for a few seconds before saying, 【Gone.】

Gone? When did he leave?

With the person gone, what would she do about her task?

Fortunately, the love system answered the question in her mind, 【He left a few minutes ago. The task has been completed.】

For the past half hour, its host had been sleeping. She seemed to not do anything, but the task had indeed been completed. The movie king’s mood had recovered. So, was it a success or not??

The love system doubted life for a while. It was the first time it had encountered such a situation. It felt really complicated.

Ning Xiaoyu didn’t think it was complicated. Since the task was completed, why did it matter how it happened? As long as the result was so, it was fine. As for the process, this salted fish didn’t care.

Ning Xiaoyu yawned and checked the time on her phone.

She fell asleep for about half an hour or so. It’s not even 10:00 a.m. yet.

She didn’t want to go back so soon, thus she stayed in the garden alone for a while, checking the flowers and plants to make sure she had taken good care of them, before returning to Friends Lodge with the empty watering can.

When she arrived at the living room, Ning Yuwei’s group was playing cards and drinking milk tea on the sofa, looking laid back and relaxed.

Seeing her return, Ning Yuwei’s little follower, a second-line actress named Mu Jiajia, spoke up, “Work is really hard.” After saying that, she changed her tone and deliberately said, “But our Weiwei is different. Weiwei has too many friendship coins to spend.”

After a wave of ‘good night and good morning’ greetings, Ning Yuwei had 12 friendship coins on her. She made breakfast together with others in the morning and they spent about 2 coins each, leaving her with 10 coins.

The snacks in Friends Lodge were relatively cheap. A pack of plain milk tea priced at one yuan outside was only one friendship coin there.

So she generously invited three people close to her to milk tea.

As for this deck of cards, she also spent 3 coins to buy it.

Ning Yuwei still had 3 coins on her, but even if she didn’t have coins, Xu Cheng would treat her to dinner, so she didn’t need to go out and work hard in exchange for rewards.

Ning Yuwei covered her mouth and lamented, “Teacher^[1]commonly used in media and entertainment to respectfully address someone who is knowledgeable and has expertise in a certain field Ning, you’re done with work? Teacher Ning really had it rough, whether it’s in a variety show or outside.”

When Mu Jiajia heard that, she knew there was gossip to be had, so she hurriedly asked, “Weiwei, what happened to Teacher Ning outside?”

【Our Weiwei is really kind. She still has time to pay attention to an 18^th-line actress.】

【If it were me, I would definitely not have the time.】

【Protect our good Weiwei.】

The corners of Ning Yuwei’s mouth curled up. She was about to explain and let everyone know how pitiful Ning Xiaoyu was, when Shen Yueyue, who was sitting in the distance while drinking a cup of chrysanthemum tea, suddenly said, “Xiaoyu, you’re on the hot search again.”

The corners of Ning Yuwei’s mouth that had just curled up quickly dropped down.

Another hot search?

Wasn’t Ning Xiaoyu on the hot search just this morning? Was it possible that she’s on it again now?

Ning Yuwei was the first to open Weibo.

Indeed, at the very front of the hot search, she saw the dazzling entry #NingXiaoyuFellAsleep#

What? Even sleeping could get one on trending these days?

Or was this a hot search bought by Ning Xiaoyu herself? No, she’s so poor that she could hardly pay her father’s hospital bills, how could she possibly have money to buy a hot search?

So what’s this all about?

Ning Yuwei subconsciously clicked on the entry and she saw another name alongside Ning Xiaoyu’s— Lu Jingdu.

Not to mention Ning Yuwei, even Ning Xiaoyu herself was surprised.

She’s on the hot search again?

She glanced at her live feed.

At this time, the number of people in her stream had already exceeded 10,000. Although it was no match with Ning Yuwei’s mega live stream, compared to one day ago, it was a great improvement.

【This is the anchor who can ignore the popular movie king, Lu Jingdu? I came here due to admiration.】

【I came here due to admiration.】

【I love the anchor’s temperament.】

【Anchor, what are your thoughts on exceeding 10,000 people in your live stream for the first time?】

What were Ning Xiaoyu’s thoughts?

She wasn’t thinking of anything.

How could she have so many thoughts? With that effort, she might as well just sleep.

———pr


It was soon noon. Ning Xiaoyu watered the flowers and plants in the garden, so she received 3 friendship coins.

Therefore, she exchanged these 3 friendship coins for a self-heating hot pot.

After exchanging, her pocket was empty again.

Impoverished— this was her.

The rules of the show were that the guests needed to send messages to each other in the morning and evening, and it wasn’t required for noon.

Of course, this did not mean that the guests couldn’t message each other. They just wouldn’t be rewarded with friendship coins.

While Ning Xiaoyu was waiting for the self-heating hot pot to be ready, Shen Yueyue took the initiative to sit next to her. “Hello.”

Ning Xiaoyu greeted the other party back. She glanced over and found that Shen Yueyue was having vegetable salad for lunch, which was a low-calorie weight-loss meal.

Shen Yueyue told her, “Although it’s all vegetables, this meal cost me 3 coins.”

“That expensive?”

“Yeah.”

Both of them have mild personalities and quickly get to know each other.

Ning Xiaoyu noticed that Lu Jingdu didn’t show up for lunch. Even though her movement was small, Shen Yueyue still guessed who she was looking for.

The other party explained softly, “Stop looking. He won’t eat the food here in the kitchen. When it’s time, a nearby five-star hotel will deliver his meal. I heard that the one who cooks for him is the head chef, the kind that ordinary people can’t hire. Whether he will participate in group activities also depends on his mood. Even if he doesn’t cooperate during the whole recording, the director won’t say anything. In short, the director gives him complete freedom.”

Ning Xiaoyu only thought, Good heavens.

As she had previously speculated, Lu Jingdu had special privileges in the show. This was the power of a big shot. Even the top star Xu Cheng would most likely be ashamed.

Shen Yueyue wasn’t that old, so seeing Ning Xiaoyu sitting next to her, she couldn’t help gossiping, “That…… Do you know each other well?”

Although Shen Yueyue didn’t say who she was referring to, Ning Xiaoyu could guess the other party’s meaning. She shook her head. “We’re not familiar.”

For some reason, Shen Yueyue felt that Ning Xiaoyu was telling the truth.

She smiled and said, “Then you two are quite fated.”

In a place where no guests go, the two of them happened to bump into each other and even went on the hot search together.

This kind of luck was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

After lunch, Ning Xiaoyu had to strive for dinner again.

The program team would give the guests three to four days to let them get acquainted with each other. After that, the program team would set more interactive tasks.

At that time, there would naturally be more opportunities to earn friendship coins.

However, she preferred the current task of earning friendship coins. There was no need to work together or interact with people, and there was a lot of time to be a salted fish.

With that in mind, Ning Xiaoyu went to the staff to take on a task.

Although she had been to the garden in the morning, she still wanted to go there in the afternoon.

The task for today was to water plants in the morning and trim branches in the afternoon.

It wasn’t fixed and would constantly be updated by the program team. The guests could also put forward their own suggestions.

The garden was a great place to relax so Ning Xiaoyu wanted to go there, but she learned that the afternoon task had already been taken by Ning Yuwei.

Clearly, Ning Yuwei disliked doing tasks, so why was she so active now?

Ning Xiaoyu was too lazy to guess what the other party was thinking. Unfortunately, other tasks have already been taken over and the only one left was cleaning.

Ning Xiaoyu touched her nose and asked, “Where am I cleaning?”

The staff glanced at the to-do list and said, “The indoor pool on the top floor. However, there was a general cleaning before the show started so there’s no need to clean it for now. You can just go check if any of the lockers were left unlocked and close them.”

Ning Xiaoyu didn’t expect this task to be so leisurely. How could she let such a good thing slip?

Furthermore, she could get 6 friendship coins for it.

She hastily agreed.

Ning Xiaoyu happily took the elevator to the topmost floor.

The Friends Lodge was a seven-storey luxury villa and not a place specially built by the program team.

It had an owner. However, since they had too many properties under their names, they hardly lived there.

This time, the director rented the villa as the show’s base camp.

Standing in the elevator while looking at the spotless mirror, Ning Xiaoyu couldn’t help feeling like a country bumpkin. “It’s nice to be rich.”

Thinking of that, she glanced at the upper right corner.

Excellent. The love value was already 3. But was this simply love value?

The answer was no.

This was obviously real currency.

A ding could be heard as she arrived at the seventh floor and Ning Xiaoyu leisurely walked into the indoor pool.

At this point, in Ning Xiaoyu’s mind, there would be no one else inside.

However, as soon as she stepped into the pool area, she heard the sound of splashing water.

It appeared someone was taking a swim.

She subconsciously looked into the standard-sized swimming pool not far away.

What she saw was a figure constantly swinging its arms with graceful and standard movements like that of a male mermaid.

Before Ning Xiaoyu had time to take a second look, the excited voice of the system rang out in her ears,

【Girl, the incarnation of a heartthrob who attracts countless screaming fans, Lu Jingdu, is sweating profusely in the swimming pool. Luckily, you are the first and only person who has seen this kind of blissful scene. Isn’t it a pleasant surprise? Isn’t it dazzling? In this regard, you can——
 
A: Scream out loud. Hey, just call him your husband.
 
B: Look on in fascination. Silently marvel at his fine figure.

C: Capture the moment. Such a unique benefit, it will be a shame not to capture it with your mobile phone for later viewing!】
