Tonight’s work ended rather early, and the production team arranged for individual interviews with the guests. However, even in this situation, they all had to find their own way back.
Chi Yizhen chose to ride in his current husband’s beat-up pickup truck.
The pickup truck was in quite uneven condition, and after fumbling around for a while, Chi Yizhen asked He Tiao, “Does this car not have a sound system?”
Even on this well-paved road, it felt like they were navigating a bumpy village path. He Tiao gazed ahead and replied, “It’s broken.”
Chi Yizhen couldn’t help but think of Chen Linan’s old pickup truck. When he had ridden in it before, it could at least play some rock music.
Perhaps his disappointment was too evident, and He Tiao asked, “Do you really want to listen to music?”
Chi Yizhen answered, “Not necessarily, I just feel that our ride back is too quiet.”
The car still had its cameras on, and Chi Yizhen’s drowsiness was difficult to conceal.
At this moment, He Tiao felt somewhat awkward again.
They had become somewhat acquainted, yet they felt completely unfamiliar at the same time.
He Tiao said, “If you’re very tired, you can take a nap.”
The journey from the night market back to the dormitory building would take some time, and the production team had also scheduled interviews. He Tiao estimated that it would be over an hour before the entire process was completed.
He was feeling a bit nervous too, after all, he still had to…
Sleep with Chi Yizhen.
This show didn’t seem to fear this kind of segment at all.
It could be considered the first reality show in China where the artists involved were complete strangers.
Apart from that one couple, Li Zhenhe and Liu Rumen also didn’t seem familiar at all.
In reality, if they were all straight, sleeping together wouldn’t be a big deal. Even if one was straight and the other was not, sleeping together shouldn’t be a problem.
Uh… neither of them was straight, and they were also meeting for the first time on this show.
However, Chi Yizhen, who was on the show with him, had already slept with him before.
It wasn’t the kind of rule where they had to sleep together.
The time was no longer early, but for the night market, it was just getting started.
However, the production team, considering that the guests had to start recording early in the morning, allowed them to wrap up a bit early, perhaps still preserving a shred of humanity.
Tomorrow would mark the formal beginning, and it would be ruthless, regardless of whether they were tired or not.
Unexpected events might be the highlights of the show.
The car left the university campus and followed the navigation to a different road.
This area was much quieter, with hardly any traffic, and most of the street shops were closed, except for the 24-hour convenience stores that remained open.
The battered pickup truck continued to jolt along, and Chi Yizhen had initially thought it wouldn’t be good to fall asleep with the cameras still on. But exhaustion and drowsiness overcame him, and he drifted off to sleep.
When they stopped at a red light, He Tiao took a moment to look at Chi Yizhen.
The car was obviously just used today, but Chi Yizhen had already added a little decoration to it.
It was a beckoning cat that he had bought from a stall when he finished work.
It cost five yuan each and looked a bit shabby. In fact, it didn’t seem very lucky; it had an air of bad luck about it instead.
The ceramic cat had a slightly lecherous expression, and when Chi Yizhen was buying it, he compared several options and chose one that was relatively less lecherous.
He Tiao glanced at Chi Yizhen and then at the cat.
He completely didn’t realize he was smiling.
[In this moment, I understand what relativity is… I never realized red lights could be so short.]
[Star Trail is raking in the profits; the game that’s still on the inner side tonight is already trending… Boss is so handsome, who can resist.]
[I remember they said the lead developer of their main game wouldn’t show up, but who would’ve thought the one we expected to see was the godly beauty. What’s even more deadly is the way he’s looking at him now!!]
[I didn’t see anything else today; I just kept watching these two… I’m so tired, but I’m a sucker for this kind of plot.]
[The lighting is so dim, but it creates such a cinematic atmosphere.]
[Chi Yizhen’s aura is really something, that delicate yet resilient feeling. But I guess he doesn’t have a company now. I want to be his fan, something like a return to the peak after being wronged. Oh, I forgot he used to be a mess.]
[Next is the segment I’m most looking forward to… hehehe.]
Chi Yizhen slept all the way back.
Just as he had slept on the way there, he did the same on the way back.
But this time, he didn’t need He Tiao to help him with the seatbelt, and there were no reminders from the production crew. It was solely because his phone alarm went off.
The sound of a frog startled He Tiao, who had just parked the car.
He Tiao looked at the young man in the passenger seat, who was rubbing his eyes. “Why did you set an alarm for this time?”
It was already past 11:30 now.
As Chi Yizhen yawned and unbuckled his seatbelt, his gaze never left the screen of his phone. “My game’s stamina has regenerated, so I’m going to start auto-playing.”
He Tiao:…
[I can’t believe this.]
[My expression right now is exactly like E-God’s.]
[Hilarious, what’s going on here? Chi Yizhen, wake up! The owner of the game you’re playing is right here!]
After getting out of the car, Chi Yizhen and He Tiao climbed the stairs together. One in front, one behind, Chi Yizhen turned to ask He Tiao, “Do you want to see the guy I’ve chosen?”
He Tiao rubbed his temples and checked his own phone messages. This variety show had garnered much more attention on its first day of live broadcast than the previous show on Xianggua Entertainment.
People at the company were going crazy, openly watching the variety show in a large group live chat.
The hallway was dimly lit, with all sorts of random advertisements on the walls, ranging from locksmith services to plumbing.
He Tiao turned back at the corner and asked, “What guy?”
Chi Yizhen was still on the upper step, looking at He Tiao who had just turned the corner. One above and one below, He Tiao could see the character on Chi Yizhen’s screen.
He had heard about this project in company meetings; it was a new experiment for the company.
The planning and editing teams involved were top talents, and they were targeting a girlish audience.
He Tiao had thought about the fact that there might be a male audience as well, but at this moment, with the dim lighting from the motion sensor, Chi Yizhen’s fatigue and excitement were just too evident on his face. He Tiao inexplicably felt a bit disheartened.
However, he didn’t show his feelings and simply nodded.
Chi Yizhen said, “The character illustration looks so good. When will you release voice packs? I think the gameplay…”
[Future sister-in-law, be more considerate; even our boss isn’t happy.]
[A moment ago, I was genuinely afraid that He Tiao might say something like, ‘You didn’t choose me,’ or something…]
[Even though He Tiao is a living person, I can’t help but think he has a very manga-like feel… completely, the epitome of an ideal type.]
[Are there really pure and innocent CEO types these days?]
[Chi Yizhen’s expression just now was so girlish; it’s cracking me up. Total otaku! How did this happen!]
