Originally, Lu Qianling was not sure if Meng Chuyuan had bought it for her, until she saw the delivery label on the box. On it was an inconspicuous purchase nickname called Meng Xiaomei.
“…” Isn’t this Meng Chuyuan?
Her WeChat name was also Meng Xiaomei.
Lu Qianling was surprised and delighted to receive the steam eye masks from
Meng Chuyuan. “She’s too good at winning people over, but I really buy it.”
Lu Qianling happily put away the eye masks and even specially took out her phone to leave Meng Chuyuan a message to thank her.
When she logged out after sending the message, she happened to see Lu Qingye’s WeChat message below. Her face was filled with disdain.
Now that her pocket money was provided by Meng Chuyuan, she did not have to listen to Lu Qingye anymore. This way, Lu Qingye had lost all value to her.
“What Lu Qingye? Barbaric Qingye, go to hell. You still want to threaten me with 2,000 yuan? Dream on.” Lu Qianling opened their chat room and directly blacklisted Lu Qingye.
At the same time, Meng Chuyuan and the others had already found the first house.
The house was located in a relatively superior location. Not only was it convenient for travel, but it also had a beautiful view of the peninsula.
Meng Chuyuan lifted her suitcase and stepped onto the stairs, wanting to get closer to the house to take a look.
Seeing that she had already lifted her luggage and was about to walk up, Lu Jinsen suddenly called out to Meng Chuyuan, “Aren’t you going to have a look around?”
“What else is there to look at? I think this place is pretty good. The terrain is high, and we can see the mountains and the sea. We might even be able to see the sunrise and sunset.”
Seeing as Meng Chuyuan was about to carry her luggage up to take a look, Lu
Jinsen knew that she had already decided on this place.
“Alright.” Lu Jinsen finally chose to compromise and listen to her.
After he finished speaking, he silently reached out to take Meng Chuyuan’s suitcase and carried it up for her.
Meng Chuyuan felt her hand suddenly lighten. When she turned around, she realized that her suitcase was already in Lu Jinsen’s hands.
[Sister Meng should be very pleased. This child has grown up.]
[Young Master has become sensible. He actually knows how to help Sister Meng carry her luggage.]
[I’m inexplicably touched, Young Master. You finally know how to cozy up to the big shot.]
[Sister Meng says: If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t engage in such gimmicks, hahahaha.]
[Wuwuwu, this trip was not in vain. I personally witnessed the Young Master’s road to growth.]
The other two groups had also come ashore, but they had just finished rowing and looked exhausted. After taking their heavy suitcases, they were no longer enthusiastic about rushing.
However, Liao Jiake was still working hard. In order to secure a better house, she let Liao Jiayan travel slowly.
“Yanyan, rest first. I’m going to take a look at the houses. I’ll come back and pick you up later.”
Liao Jiayan nodded and said, “Okay.”
Qi Zhen could not leave at all because he still had to help Qi Yan carry her luggage. On the other hand, Qi Yan only cared about her own comfort and had no intention of fighting for the houses.
Seeing that Liao Jiake had left, Qi Zhen quickly looked at his sister and suggested to her, “Sister, why don’t you go take a look at the houses first? I have too much luggage here and it’s not easy for me to travel.” “I’ve been on the boat for too long. My legs are numb now.”
Qi Zhen:
[I feel that Qi Zhen is really helpless in this episode. It’s just the beginning of the recording and he’s already like this. What will happen after this?]
[What’s wrong with Qi Yan? She was quite likable in the first episode. Now, the more I see her, the more I feel that she’s a little…]
[Are they really biological? Why is there such a big difference? I feel like Qi Zhen is her coolie.]
[What is she doing? Oh my god, I hate going out with people who don’t do any work and complain about being tired after walking a few steps.]
[Amazing. The Liao sisters are even younger than her. The two girls have never complained about being tired from the beginning to the end. She’s just too dependent on her younger brother. She’s capitalizing on Qi Zhen’s sensible and considerate nature and doing none of the work herself . ]
Meng Chuyuan’s team had already finished touring their house.
The structure of the house that they were looking at was a duplex. There was a living room and a room downstairs, and another room upstairs. The separate kitchen was also very clean, and there was no lack of pots and pans.
However, the room upstairs was relatively smaller, mainly because the distance between the ceiling and the floor proved to be a little inconvenient for Lu Jinsen’s height. Meng Chuyuan had noticed it during the tour.
When they were allocating rooms, Meng Chuyuan took the initiative to say, “I’ll stay in the room upstairs.”
Lu Jinsen did not think too much about it, but since Meng Chuyuan wanted to stay upstairs, he carried her luggage upstairs.
[I feel that Young Master has really grown up this episode, hahahaha.]
[The current Lu Jinsen is so comfortable to look at. I’m too embarrassed to call him Young Master.]
[Is this related to Big Brother’s call? Hahaha, I’m guessing.]
After Liao Jiake found the first house, she saw that Meng Chuyuan’s team had already moved in and so, she could only continue her search.
The roads here consisted of either steep slopes or stairs. Liao Jiake felt that the suitcase was dragging her down. In the end, she left the suitcase at a villager’s house and went to look for the houses herself.
The remaining two houses were very close to each other, and there was only a village road between them.
These two houses were also duplex houses. There was a group of tiger-skin stone houses congregated here, so they did not have a separate front yard. At first glance, the area of residence was also small.
Lunch was organized by the village representatives to welcome the six guests to their village.
When the dishes on the table were unveiled, everyone realized that it was a
seafood feast: fish and mantis shrimp, green crab, oysters, clams, and so on.
The village representative also briefly explained the history and development of their village to the guests, as well as their daily routine of going out to sea to fish. Finally, he introduced a few more unique dishes for them to taste.
[Oh my god! This is the best meal the guests have had since the two seasons of the variety show, Brothers and Sisters Advance and Retreat.]
[It’s crab season now. The production team is too good at choosing the filming location.]
[I can see that the villagers on the island are very warm and hospitable.] [Wuwuwu, this is what it means to make full use of local resources.]
[Have any sisters been to this place? Is it suitable for a vacation? The environment looks quite good. I want to go there and have fun for a few days.]
After lunch, the enthusiastic village representative even invited the six guests to go out to sea to fish with them at night.
“If everyone is free tonight, you can go out to sea with us to fish at night.”
When they heard this news, they were actually not very interested because it was already autumn. It would definitely be very cold to go out to sea at night.
However, in order to produce content for the variety show, the director gave them a few looks from outside the venue, hinting at them to agree.
Under pressure from the director, they could only reluctantly agree. “Sure. Thank you for preparing such a sumptuous lunch for us today. I’ll see you tonight..”
