After waiting another half hour, the second group of guests finally arrived.
The person who came was the newly popular singer Zhang Xingxing. Zhang Xingxing wasn't the type of boy you'd immediately find handsome, but he gave off a very comfortable, boy-next-door vibe.
He had short hair, wore clear-rimmed glasses perched on his ears, and carried a large guitar on his back.
"Hello, hello, my name is Zhang Xingxing, nice to meet you all."
Zhang Xingxing greeted Mo Xuan and Xiao Jun, then shook hands with each of them in turn.
From these brief exchanges, it was evident that Zhang Xingxing was quite shy, even a little timid.
Seeing Mo Xuan and Xiao Jun sitting together, he assumed they knew each other. Thus, he didn't force himself to sit with them, but instead chose a spot diagonally opposite them, at the edge.
Before coming to the show, Zhang Xingxing had already familiarized himself with the guest lineup for this episode. He knew that Mo Xuan and Xiao Jun were newcomers who had just debuted.
Even so, Zhang Xingxing had no intention of looking down on them.
Although he wasn't someone who particularly enjoyed the entertainment industry's culture, he was ultimately involved in it, so he understood how things worked.
With their good looks, they might not necessarily become hugely famous in the future, as long as they didn't mess up.
The arrival of Zhang Xingxing instantly made the atmosphere in the live broadcast room awkward to the extreme.
The production team: ...
What to do, what to do! Save me!
This show can't be filmed like this! How can guests just sit by themselves and not even look at the camera!
Don't they know they're participating in a show, not just hanging out at home, hey!
Fortunately, another guest arrived, the oldest among them, Zhong Sheng.
"Hello everyone, I am Zhong Sheng, the eldest among you. You can call me Brother Sheng. Seeing you three, I'm truly delighted. Indeed, our entertainment industry lacks fresh blood like you who are young and energetic!"
Zhong Sheng was not only an actor but had also worked as a program host before, so he quickly livened up the atmosphere!
"Why are you three sitting so far apart? Come, come closer, so we can all chat together."
With Zhong Sheng acting as a "lubricant" in the middle, the three boys of similar ages actually started to interact.
Before long, Tang Li also arrived.
Tang Li was one of the new popular actresses. Her looks and temperament were naturally impeccable, possessing a face that everyone liked.
"Hello everyone, I'm Tang Li, you can call me Lili. I'm very happy to be filming with you all."
Tang Li greeted them all naturally, and after speaking, she didn't forget to wink at the camera.
"Ahhhh! Tang Li, my wife!"
"My wife is still as beautiful as ever, I can never get tired of looking at her!"
"Tang Li's legs are simply amazing, isn't she the leg goddess?"
"She's really too beautiful, no wonder she's one of the hottest actresses!"
"These legs, I could admire them for 100 years!"
"My wife just winked at me, ah, my soul is gone. I belong to my wife now!"
...
Finally, all the guests had gathered, and they had gotten to know each other a little. The production team then announced that the recording would officially begin.
"First, please proceed to the rooms and choose your desired rooms."
After saying this, the production staff fell silent.
The guests: ???
That's it? Aren't you supposed to tell us where these rooms are?
Are you really just going to leave us to our own devices?
Zhong Sheng, being an experienced variety show personality, understood the general flow of such programs.
As expected, on the table of the pavilion where they had been sitting, there was a small card.
The small card had a map drawn in a scribble-like fashion, with many twists and turns, occasionally marked with a few arrows to indicate direction.
Zhong Sheng: ...
The production team was too devious. Although he was a regular participant in variety shows, he had never seen such a scribbled, "ghostly" drawing of a map before.
"What is all this? I can't even understand it, how are we supposed to find them?" Tang Li was completely stunned after seeing the card.
The production team remained silent at this moment but instead erected a large sign nearby.
The sign read: Please use your imagination to find your rooms. Please note, if you go to the wrong room, you might be 'trespassing'!
Everyone: !!!
"Hahaha, the production team really isn't humane, who could possibly understand that scribbled map!"
"Seriously, the difficulty isn't just high, it's said that this is a farmhouse, and besides the rooms rented by the production team, all other rooms have tenants!"
"This is hilarious, I can see Tang Li's face contorting!"
"If they go to the wrong room, then tomorrow's headlines will be #Shocking! Famous Actress Trespasses into Private Residence!#"
"Or maybe: #Elderly Veteran Actor Breaks Into a House in Broad Daylight, What's the Reason?#"
"The people upstairs, you're so wicked, hahaha!"
"Great, if you guys aren't in tomorrow's headlines, I definitely won't watch!"
"Hilarious, now I'm actually looking forward to them going to the wrong room!"
...
Zhang Xingxing, on the side, acted like a transparent person throughout, diligently trying to minimize his presence. At times, he would even subconsciously crouch behind Zhong Sheng.
"Little Xing, take a look. You study music, so you should be familiar with musical scores. See what this thing is!"
Zhong Sheng said, immediately pulling Zhang Xingxing, who was hiding behind him, and shoving a card into his hand.
Zhang Xingxing: stunned...
Then, looking at the card, Zhang Xingxing admitted that while he was well-versed in musical scores, he truly couldn't understand these notations!
"I'll do it."
At this moment, a voice as melodious as heavenly music rescued Zhang Xingxing from his predicament.
Zhang Xingxing looked at Mo Xuan and gave him a sincere smile, "Can you understand it? Then you're truly amazing. I'll have to trouble you with what comes next!"
After saying this, he eagerly shoved the card into Mo Xuan's hand.
Mo Xuan, holding the map that looked even harder to decipher than a scribbled drawing, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. This thing was uglier than the first talisman he had ever drawn!
"Follow me."
Mo Xuan took the cards and walked at the front, leading them.
Without any suspicion, the others followed behind him, diligently carrying their luggage.
After many twists and turns, they finally stopped.
