The next day, Ji Jun, while searching for treasure chests, didn't wear a scowl like before. Instead, he naturally joined the conversation between Lin Yirou and Ling Fenghan, the three chatting and laughing.
Xia Qingtian, meanwhile, found a treasure chest hidden beneath a flower bed. This chest had an additional lock, and as usual, one of the previously found keys should open it.
After opening the treasure chest and finding it empty, Xia Qingtian shrugged, "At least we now have 3,000 yuan for our date."
"If both pairs can go on a date together, then we'll have 6,000 in total. Four people with 6,000 yuan, there are quite a few things we can do," Ling Fenghan suggested.
"That depends on the production team," Xia Qingtian said, glancing at the crew filming them.
The script supervisor on site met Xia Qingtian's gaze and instantly shivered, then silently covered half his face with his notebook.
He doesn't get to decide, don't look at him...
"If we can go together, where would you guys want to go?" Ji Jun asked.
"How about a beach BBQ?" Xia Qingtian suggested, "I'm kind of craving barbecue."
"Won't it be a bit cold going to the beach now?" Ling Fenghan asked, as it wasn't even past the first lunar month yet.
Although City Z is a southern city, the beach during this season is still quite chilly.
"We can wear more clothes. There shouldn't be many people at the beach at this time," Xia Qingtian said. "If we can go, we should be able to have a lot of fun. And with 6,000 yuan in date funds, if we find reliable fishermen, we can buy a lot of seafood."
"Then, we can light a bonfire, and we can even have a mini Ling Fenghan concert. I want a front-row C-position seat, with real-time song requests!" Xia Qingtian said, shaking her small fist, her eyes shining.
"So that's your ultimate goal!" Ling Fenghan said speechlessly.
"Hehe~" Xia Qingtian stuck out her tongue and smiled playfully, which also amused the others.
Damn, I'm so envious of Xia Qingtian! Such close-up fangirling! Oh my god!
Front row C-position! Real-time song requests! Holy crap! That's too awesome! Xia Qingtian really knows how to have fun!
I kind of get it now. Don't you guys think Xia Qingtian and Ling Fenghan are really a good match? Wife fans, take note!
I feel like Xia Qingtian is more of a career fan. She's not urging for new songs, but urging for concerts.
Being open and straightforward is friendship, being cautious is love. I ship Ling Fenghan and Lin Yirou.
Exactly! Compared to the industrial saccharine from Lu Songtao and Qiu Xinxue at the amusement park before, the way these two interact after getting to know each other, their compatibility in interests, that's more like a match!
Please leave Ling Fenghan out of this! Our Ling Fenghan is just taking a vacation while working. No CP bundling, please!
Vacationing on a dating show? Are you kidding me! But I don't ship this pair either. I ship Ji Jun and Lin Yirou. I was a fan of the immortal-demon CP in the previous 'Transcendent Immortals'!
Me too! Hugging my sister! I'm also a fan of the immortal-demon CP!
The sisters in the livestream instantly started a large-scale family reunion.
However, after a long time, a rather regretful comment weakly floated out: So... there's really no hope for Xia Qingtian and Ling Fenghan...
Soon, this comment was drowned out by the messages from the large-scale CP family reunion.
Meanwhile, after Xia Qingtian's guidance last night, Tong Nianze proactively approached Lu Songtao today: "How many treasure chests have you guys found?"
"Only one," Lu Songtao said, first glancing at Qiu Xinxue behind Tong Nianze, then shifting his gaze back to Tong Nianze, "But it has a lock and can't be opened."
"We've only found one too, and it also has a lock," Tong Nianze said, glancing again at Ji Meina, who was still on her tiptoes trying to reach into a cabinet nearby. "Both pairs are cooperating. Why don't we cooperate too?"
"Okay," Lu Songtao immediately agreed. He didn't have much to say to Ji Meina anyway.
He didn't know what kind of bewitching spell Xia Qingtian had cast on Ji Meina, as she couldn't stop mentioning Xia Qingtian.
And Lu Songtao detested Xia Qingtian the most, which made him not want to talk to Ji Meina.
Fortunately, Ji Meina wasn't a pretentious or clingy celebrity. Most of the time, they went their separate ways and she didn't intentionally try to get closer to him, so he could tolerate it.
If there were a couple more people, including one of his own, it would be good.
Thus, Tong Nianze finally had another chance to approach Ji Meina.
Seeing that Ji Meina couldn't reach the cabinet above and was getting anxious, Tong Nianze reached out from behind and helped her open the cabinet, also taking out a small treasure chest from inside.
"Found it!" Ji Meina first cheered, then turned her head and realized the person behind her wasn't her partner, but Tong Nianze.
Ji Meina was startled, her entire back pressing against the cabinet: "Why is it you?"
"Why can't it be me?" Tong Nianze presented the treasure chest in his hand to Ji Meina: "Want it?"
"What do you mean 'want it'? I found this first!" Ji Meina grumbled and reached out to snatch the treasure chest from Tong Nianze's hand. However, Tong Nianze suddenly raised the chest high.
"If you want it, come and get it yourself." As soon as Tong Nianze said this, he felt a sharp pain in his lower back.
"Hiss!" He gasped in pain and bent over, the treasure chest in his hand being snatched away.
"Qingtian!" Ji Meina saw Xia Qingtian behind Tong Nianze, her eyes lit up, and she threw herself into Xia Qingtian's arms: "Qingtian~"
"Here, this belongs to Meina," Xia Qingtian handed the treasure chest in her hand to Ji Meina, while giving Tong Nianze a warning glance.
When will this Tong Nianze ever learn to behave?
Receiving Xia Qingtian's warning gaze, Tong Nianze silently swallowed and took half a step back, knowing he was in the wrong.
Why can't he control himself?
This damn competitive spirit!
"This one has a lock too," Ji Meina said regretfully, not noticing the exchanged glances between Xia Qingtian and Tong Nianze. "Why does every one have a lock?"
"Let me try," Xia Qingtian took out her keys and tried them one by one, but none of them worked.
"Aren't these keys from last week? Will they work?" Tong Nianze then came over and asked.
"Yes, we've already opened two treasure chests, and unfortunately, they were both empty," Xia Qingtian said. "Have you tried your keys?"
"I gave my keys to you. If yours didn't work, then they probably won't open it," Ji Meina said with regret.
"Let me try," Tong Nianze casually handed a key to Xia Qingtian. "This key has a nice shape, so I've been carrying it around."
Tong Nianze tried it and the treasure chest opened directly.
Inside, there was also a folded letter.
According to the production team, this should be the real treasure chest that allows for an extra 2,000 yuan in date funds!
