Gu Qi spoke steadily. No wonder Gu Lin always took care of his older brother.
"I wish I had a responsible brother to make decisions for me."
"My brother just says: 'Yeah, okay, whatever you say, nope, get lost.'"
"Same kind of brother, no shipping fee to my house, smiling.jpg"
"Mm-hmm!" Gu Lin immediately picked up his things and moved them without a second word.
Gu Qi was content to stay, but Gu Lin was lively and had originally joined the variety show for fun.
Now, with everyone waiting for the rest to arrive, and with nothing to do, Director Fang wasn't providing any entertainment.
So he wandered around aimlessly.
"What are you doing? How do you have that thing too!"
As Gu Lin walked towards the Xin Xue exclusive cabin, he saw Shi Xin Xin take the "Ten Thousand Cold Jokes" book and pull out a deck of cards from her bag.
"Want to play? Three people can play Landlord, and Xiao Xue and I were planning to play Fishing Cat."
Since they were all bored anyway, Shi Xin Xin figured she'd pull one more person into the fun.
"Of course, wait a minute, I need to write a sign too. Where did you get the pen and paper?"
"Here." Shi Xin Xin took out a card and a marker. Don't ask where they came from; she didn't know when the kids had stuffed them in there, along with a notebook.
"Thanks!" Gu Lin immediately flew back and, without his brother knowing, wrote "Qilin's Bravest Cabin."
"The bravest Young Master Gu Lin, come here quickly."
Shi Xin Xin said with her arms crossed and a smile.
Gu Lin instinctively ran over and immediately covered Shi Xin Xin's mouth. Realizing what he had done, he quickly removed his hand.
"Sorry, I was just afraid your loud voice would let my brother hear."
Gu Lin touched his head, a little embarrassed.
"You guys know I almost thought my Sister Shi's purity was compromised just now, I almost broke through the screen to kill him."
"I almost broke through the screen to swap souls with Gu Lin."
"My Lin Bao is so good, how could anyone bear to blame him."
"I think Shi Xin Xin probably just took it as being covered by a cloth strip."
Gu Lin was afraid of being discovered by his brother. As long as no one mentioned it, Gu Qi wouldn't care if there was something on the door.
"Got it, hurry up. Landlord is two short of one, want to call your brother over?"
Gu Lin paused for a moment. He had often caused trouble on variety shows before. Perhaps it was because his boundaries between men and women were unclear, and he was very transparent, always showing his emotions, which often caused female guests to deliberately avoid him, fearing they might do something excessive on the show and harm their reputation.
"Gu Lin seems to be remembering what happened on other variety shows."
"There was a bit of a stir before. Gu Lin didn't actually do anything wrong, but variety shows are different from everyday interactions, and one should still pay attention to the distance between men and women."
"Gu Lin, cheer up! Didn't you see Shi Xin Xin didn't mind at all!"
The fans were anxious, not wanting their lively idol's wings to be clipped.
Now, Gu Lin's mind was filled with: Did Shi Xin Xin really not mind?
Shi Xin Xin waited for a long time without a reply, then turned to look at the worry in Gu Lin's eyes.
She thought of her own sensitive children, and her gaze softened.
"I don't mind. What was that just now? Let's just say a puppy scratched my face? Come play Landlord quickly. If it's not fun, I'll call your brother over."
Shi Xin Xin didn't reach out to the stunned Gu Lin. Instead, Gu Qi came over and patted his shoulder.
"Let's go play Landlord, together."
Gu Lin's expression immediately changed. It wasn't about being moved; he had never heard his brother play something as childish as Landlord before.
Gu Lin was afraid.
But Gu Qi just watched from the side, not participating.
Soon, the lively ones among them became good friends, as if they had known each other for years.
"How happy they are now, how much Xiao Jue hates it."
The remaining Bai Bin left the decision to Ye Xun. They chose room number one. The director, in his good temper, separated their beds with thick dividers, making them essentially two separate rooms.
Long Keyu and Yang Xi weren't as lucky. They arrived just one step ahead of Xiao Jue, but they all knew that room number five was Xiao Jue's exclusive domain.
Shi Xin Xin had even written "Master Xiao's Exclusive Cabin" for him in advance.
"Confirmed the look, truly mischievous. It's funny to see the other people's eager yet hesitant expressions."
"Looking forward to how Director Fang will tease them next."
"Yang Xi's cosmetics have all been confiscated."
"How happily they are playing Landlord."
"Gu Qi shouldn't have joined. Except for Sister Shi, no one can beat him."
"Let's open a casino, I'll bet a million that Shi Xin Xin wins."
After Xiao Jue's phone was silently searched, Director Fang picked up his megaphone.
"Alright, those playing Landlord, stop!"
Director Fang was full of helplessness. The variety show had been derailed by this little girl.
Shi Xin Xin sheepishly retracted her playing hand and gathered the cards.
"Your rooms are your residences for the entire filming period."
"If you're not satisfied, there's still an opportunity for renovation."
"Remember, it's renovation, not re-selection."
"Now, each of you has ten game coins, which is the currency for this season. Guard them carefully."
"Next, please settle your expenses for today."
As soon as Director Fang said this, not only the livestream audience but also the nine participants erupted.
"No way, did we waste money climbing the mountain today?"
Gu Lin and Long Keyu were of the same opinion.
"You're trying to kill me while I'm down."
Xiao Jue gritted his teeth. Not only did he not team up with Shi Xin Xin, but he also ended up sweating profusely, tired to death, and now he had to pay.
Xiao Jue: Refund!
Fang Qi: That's a separate price.
"Room 1, five coins; Room 2, four coins; Room 3, three coins; Room 4, two coins; Room 5, one coin."
"Ah, I feel so much better." Xiao Jue generously took out a game coin.
Even though the others were reluctant, they all paid. After all, the better the room, the more they had to pay. Their arrival order was only a consideration for the larger space.
"Bai Ye team has five left; Qilin team has six left; Xin Xue team has seven left; Long Yang team has eight left; Master Xiao has nine left."
Seeing that everyone hadn't yet realized the importance of game coins, Director Fang decided to deliver a stronger blow.
"Is everyone hungry?"
Director Fang's face broke into a smiling expression.
"Here he comes, here he comes, he's here to kill with a kind smile."
"My guess is Director Fang is about to do something big."
"My guess is someone is about to make a blind guess."
"The game is still in the warm-up phase. These young people definitely don't know the big surprise waiting for them."
Shi Xin Xin narrowed her eyes. This scoundrel was trying to trick them.
"Of course, we're hungry!" Yang Xi was the first to say.
"I want to eat!" Long Keyu followed closely.
"Why is Director Fang asking such a silly question?" Gu Lin pouted, looking at his brother and the Xin Xue team who hadn't spoken yet.
