The next morning, the bus would pick her up outside Lin Muci's villa.
Ms. Lin Cuiping heard that Lin Muci was going to film a travel variety show.
Her eyes widened, and then she began to pack Lin Muci's luggage in a panic.
The way she was going about it, she might as well have moved the entire house for her.
She prepared three sets of various evening gowns and skincare products, and five large suitcases were placed in the living room, piled up like a small mountain.
But after all her busywork, she turned around and saw Lin Muci carrying a small pink suitcase.
She told Ms. Lin not to worry.
"I'm ready. I've brought two changes of clothes and some essential daily necessities."
Lin Cuiping was stunned.
"That's it?"
"Is this going to be enough?"
Lin Muci nodded with great certainty.
"It's just filming a variety show, how much stuff can I need? Mommy, don't be so nervous. There are staff and other guests. It wouldn't be good if I made a big fuss."
Lin Cuiping was still uneasy.
"I'll prepare these things for you anyway. I'll have Uncle Li drive an RV over. I've watched other travel variety shows before. If you draw lots and are assigned to live in tents with particularly poor conditions, you can secretly go to the RV to rest."
"We absolutely won't endure that kind of hardship!"
Ms. Lin Cuiping was filled with worry.
Lin Muci could do nothing about her motherly affection and could only let her have her way.
She went upstairs to sleep.
...
The next morning, the production crew arrived and rang the doorbell on time.
The live broadcast had already begun.
Lin Muci's fans were glued to their screens.
Waiting for the show to broadcast live.
"Holy cow."
"This house, this house is so big!"
"Is this Lin Muci's house? She lives in a villa within the Second Ring Road... what does that even mean, everyone? I'm poor and ignorant, is this worth a hundred million?"
Below, someone chimed in with an explanation.
"This place is truly a prime location. Didn't there used to be rumors about her being a rich young lady? I don't think these were just rumors or gossip, but likely the truth."
"Then why is she trying so hard on the show, doing the most dangerous stunts herself during performances? I love it, I love it. Even a rich young lady is working hard, what right do we have to slack off?"
The main door opened, and the production crew received permission from Lin Cuiping.
They could send someone up to wake her, and Yang Weiyang happened to be with the crew, so she was asked to go up and wake Lin Muci.
She walked upstairs and pushed open the door, only to see a lump... of wriggling quilt on the bed.
The girl was wrapped inside the quilt.
Her voice was soft and charmingly spoiled.
"Mommy told me to sleep a little longer..."
The little face that was exposed was tender and beautiful, captivating even without makeup, like a soft and adorable little rabbit.
Yang Weiyang pounced, took off her jacket, and wearing a sweater, burrowed into her quilt.
"Xiao Ci, wake up!"
The two girls tumbled together, occasionally letting out soft gasps, and the scene became difficult to control, with the cameras shaking.
Everyone watched with great interest.
"I thought Xiao Ci would definitely be the dominant one! I didn't expect Xiao Ci to be a soft and cute submissive! Weiyang is so domineering, hahaha, the sweet older sister on the surface is actually cunningly dominant, and the outwardly domineering one is actually soft and cute. I love it, I love it!"
"Wuwuwu, I want to cuddle, hug, and kiss Xiao Ci too!"
The camera shook violently.
The next second, Lin Muci was dressed and ready, dragging her small pink suitcase to the door. Everyone protested.
"Don't switch the camera so randomly, we want to see how Yang Weiyang woke Xiao Ci up!"
But Yang Weiyang had already gotten on the bus with Lin Muci.
Lin Muci was the last one.
The other two girls were already on the bus.
Then the director on the bus read out the first mission to them.
"You will draw lots to choose one person to wake up the special guest for your first episode."
"We are currently driving to his home."
"You can start drawing lots."
Several rolled-up paper slips were placed in front of them.
Lin Muci was still a bit drowsy, so she let the other girls choose.
Yang Weiyang drew one.
"Mine is blank."
Ou Ruola: "Mine too."
Lin Muci had a bad feeling. She picked up the last paper slip, and then opened it simultaneously with Han Jiuzhen.
Han Jiuzhen's was blank. Hers had a smiley face drawn on it, with a line of text written below.
"Congratulations, you have successfully drawn the wake-up mission."
The director chuckled on the other end!
Lin Muci remained silent for a moment, then resignedly asked.
"Who is the guest I need to wake up?"
She still held a sliver of hope, perhaps it was Sister Lan?
At this crucial moment, the director teased, and Lin Muci heard the director say.
"You'll know who your guest is when you meet them."
Hearing the director say that, Lin Muci's vision went dark, and she felt like something big was about to go wrong!
...
The curtains of the bus were tightly drawn, preventing them from peeking at their surroundings.
Lin Muci had intended to take a few looks. As her fingers were about to reach out to lift the curtain, she was stopped by the production crew.
"No, no. Our route is confidential, and we're also worried about fans seeing the surrounding environment and chasing the car, which is too dangerous."
The reasoning was sound, but this way Lin Muci couldn't guess the guest based on the surrounding environment.
She could only sit in her seat and sulk.
The director's team still wasn't satisfied with this and sent her a StellaLou eye mask!
She widened her eyes.
"What does this mean?"
The director's team was very righteous.
"According to our program's setting, you need to wear an eye mask to wake up the guest."
Lin Muci was so angry she wanted to curse.
"If I'm wearing an eye mask, I can't see who the guest is at all."
The director's team chuckled, clearly amused.
"That's exactly the effect we want."
"You have to wake him up without seeing his face."
"Don't worry, our staff will escort you to his room door, but how you wake him up will depend on your own abilities. You cannot take off the eye mask. The cameraman will follow you, and if you violate the rules, you'll be fined immediately!"
"Oh, by the way, you were the last one to get on the bus, and we haven't told you this yet."
"The production crew will confiscate your wallets and phones. Then we will give each of you one thousand yuan to cover expenses for these three days. A violation will result in a fine of two hundred yuan, so please be careful."
Upon hearing what the director's team said, Lin Muci became even angrier.
Making her wake someone up with her eyes closed, who came up with such a brilliant idea?
She didn't even know if the guest invited by the production team was male or female.
But her anger was useless. The director's team asked an assistant to put the eye mask on her. She pleaded with Assistant Xiao Gao to leave a small gap, but the assistant, with a stern expression, put the eye mask on her properly.
Then the bus arrived at its destination.
Xiao Gao held her hand and led her off the bus.
Lin Muci took a deep breath and secretly asked the system in her mind.
"So, who exactly is the guest?"
"Who do I need to wake up?"
She heard the system laughing maniacally in her mind.
"You'll know when you go to wake him up?"
Lin Muci was extremely flustered.
These people, every single one of them, were not good people!
Why was she so panicked?
