Chapter 107: Can’t Live With Her
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Meng Chuyuan didn’t care. She didn’t care about these things. It didn’t matter who she lived with.
The director pushed his sunglasses down, revealing a pair of eyes. He looked at Meng Chuyuan, his eyes filled with gratitude.
After a while, the director turned around and said to Qi Yan, “What about you?
What do you think? Are you alright with letting Meng Chuyuan live with you?”
[Wuwuwu, why is it always my Sister Meng who takes the initiative to solve the problems?]
[It’s fine to let Sister Meng and Qi Yan live together, but can you not break up the team of slackers? If the two of them are separated, this variety show won’t be interesting.]
[Director, why are you looking at me like that? Are you going to kneel down to
Sister Meng? Hahaha]
[Indeed, my group of slackers can’t be disbanded.]
[Give Young Master a break from Sister Meng’s life lessons.]
[Although that’s true, having two handsome men under one roof is very easy on the eye, it’s fine for them to mix up the groupings once in a while. They’ll be back to normal next week.]
It was impossible for the production team to let Qi Yan form a team alone. If they agreed, it would be very difficult for the subsequent activities to continue. She might break down halfway through the recording without a partner.
Moreover, Qi Yan was an ordinary person, not a celebrity. If Qi Zhen was not present, it would basically mean losing traffic. The production team would not be able to get any exciting and useful content from her.
Qi Yan actually wanted to form her own team. Secondly, she did not want to live in the same house as Ting Jiu. Originally, she wanted the director to satisfy both of her conditions, but she did not expect Meng Chuyuan to suddenly jump out and stop her plan.
Ting Jiu was dissatisfied when he heard that he was despised. However, when he thought about how Qi Yan was a girl, he could not say anything overboard, lest the audience think that he was disrespectful to women.
Seeing that she was silent, the director went straight to the point. “Think about it. Either let Meng Chuyuan move in with you, or you can continue to stay in the same room as Tin Jiu.”
The production team’s funds were limited. There were only a few houses that could be rented for filming. They could not find another house for the time being.
Ting Jiu slowly moved to Meng Chuyuan’s side. His voice was slightly emotional. “Sister Chuyuan, go live with her. It’s not convenient for me to live with her.”
[She’s so troublesome. Isn’t it the same no matter who she stays with? She’s recording a variety show. What’s there to worry about? Our Little Jiu Jiu doesn’t have such bad intentions.]
[Is she really blind? Her EQ is so low, save me.]
[She has already rejected My Little Jiu Jiu. Don’t tell me she still dares to refuse to stay with Sister Meng?]
[With her personality in the past, it’s indeed possible for her to refuse.]
[She’s really putting on airs. It’s still necessary for us to question every day if she’s really Qi Zhen’s younger brother’s biological sister?]
[Look at Little Jiu Jiu’s pitiful appearance, my heart aches. Boohoo, come into Sister’s arms.]
When Ting Jiu made his statement, he had already made up his mind not to live with Qi Yan.
Initially, Ting Jiu did not care about these things, but after Qi Yan mentioned it, her words seemed to imply that he was not a good person.
He was young and impetuous. Why should he be bullied like this?
Everyone saw Ting Jiu consciously pull his luggage to stand beside Lu Jinsen.
Qi Yan had spoken too harshly just now, so she naturally could not take her words back. She could only bite the bullet and stay with Meng Chuyuan.
After the director settled Qi Yan’s accommodation problem, he began to explain the process of today’s program. “Alright, let’s follow the usual rules and choose a house first.”
This time, as usual, the production team prepared three houses for the guests. The houses in the village carried a sense of antiquity, and one could not tell what they were truly like from the outside.
Therefore, the production team let everyone see the photos of the three houses from the beginning. Then, they asked each group of guests to send a representative forward to draw lots. As for which group would be the first to choose, they would have to discuss this order themselves.
They had already recorded two episodes of the variety show. As such, they had a rough idea on what kind of houses they were going to live in and were already very flippant with their choices.
Lu Jinsen and Ting Jiu consciously followed the ‘lady-first’ rule. The Liao sisters, who had been receiving care and consideration from others since the start of the variety show, performed well this episode.
Liao Jiake could tell that Lu Jinsen and the rest were being thoughtful. She suddenly made a request. “Why don’t we choose together? If we choose the same one, we’ll settle it with black and white.”
Ting Jiu said, “I think that’ll work.”
At the moment, it was only fair for everyone to choose at the same time.
Liao Jiake said, “Then let’s choose together later.”
There were three photos of the houses on the table. Ting Jiu and Liao Jiake stood at the side as the representatives for the selection, waiting for Meng Chuyuan and Qi Yan to choose a representative.
Meng Chuyuan saw that Qi Yan was indifferent and suggested to her, “Why don’t you choose?”
Qi Yan lowered her head and played with her phone without answering.
[What is this sister doing? Sister Meng is so close to her. It’s impossible for her to have not heard that, right?]
[From the looks of it, she’s selectively deaf. Who is she putting on an act for?
Sister Meng didn’t offend her.]
[I don’t know what she’s thinking. Why is she pretending to be a young lady here?]
[What a joke. Don’t tell me that Sister Meng has to endure this mistreatment for the entire episode? This Qi Yan doesn’t seem to understand what she’s saying. I’m already worried about Sister Meng’s next few days on this island.] [Speaking of which, this is the first time I’ve seen Sister Meng being defeated.
It’s so novel. Hahahaha, I’m waiting for Sister Meng to fight back.]
[Why don’t we switch back the groupings now? I haven’t seen Sister Meng argue with Young Master for a day. I’m all blue and thin.]
Seeing that she was silent, Meng Chuyuan did not continue to communicate with her. She turned to Tingjiu and Liao Jiake and said, “The two of you can choose. The remaining house will be ours.”
She thought that Meng Chuyuan was very smart and could solve this matter of residence. In the end, she directly abandoned the selection process and chose to take the remaining house.
In the previous episode, Meng Chuyuan’s group had worked so hard to row the boat to the island in order to snatch a house. Yet in this episode, she had no intention of fighting for the houses at all. This extreme contrast made Qi Yan quite unhappy.
Could it be that she didn’t want to choose a good house just because she was living with her?
Ting Jiu was more familiar with Meng Chuyuan and after hearing what she said, Ting Jiu said bluntly, “Then I’ll choose first.”
He chose a relatively old-fashioned house with a bright red wooden door that was slightly peeling. There was a rectangular flower bed on both sides of the door that looked quite beautiful.
After Ting Jiu finished choosing, Liao Jiake chose one out of the two remaining houses and picked a small courtyard.
After the other two groups finished choosing, Meng Chuyuan walked forward casually and took the remaining photo.
The last house was relatively simple. The earthen-yellow wooden door looked like a pit. It was the kind that was locked with a latch from inside. The white walls were a little black, and there was moss in some places in the corners. As a whole, it looked more dated.
Meng Chuyuan put the photo in her pocket and came back to see that Qi Yan was still sitting on her suitcase and playing with her phone.
At this moment, the director suddenly said with a small loudspeaker,
“Everyone, please hand over your phones.”
Everyone was already used to handing in their phones. Other than those who wanted to reply to messages and tell their families that they were safe, they took out their phones in almost a second and handed them in by the next..
