Chapter 26 Barbecue Hut
As the two winning couples yesterday, Meng Shuran and Shen Zhici, as well as Su Qingyuan and Lu Zeyan, have become the focus of attention.
Everyone gathered together, asking about their progress.
Although it's only the third day, and only a tenth of the show's length, everyone is curious whether anyone has already clicked with the show.
Chen Yuan also joined the crowd, listening to Ji Chengyu asking about the gossip surrounding Lu Zeyan and Shen Zhici.
One is an investment banking elite, and the other is a rising star in the piano world.
In some ways, these two have a more promising future than Ji Chengyu and Jiang Yichen.
For example, a certain pianist on Earth has achieved such success that even some of the less popular actresses in the industry look down on him.
For some upper-class groups, the piano is a symbol of elegance.
Needless to say, in the financial sector, employees at any reputable investment bank easily earn millions a year.
Chen Yuan realized that compared to the four of them, he was indeed no match for them.
"By the way, how about a BBQ tonight?" Lu Zeyan suddenly asked, telling everyone that he had found a great spot for a BBQ.
"Nonsense, go invite them!" Jiang Yichen said, and then the group got up to go find Zhang Jianjian and the others.
As this is a free day, there don't seem to be any new programs or activities scheduled for today.
Chen Yuan figured he probably had nothing to do today, but the haunted house had scared him so badly that his reputation was going to suffer. It was hard to say whether he would have any good reputation at all.
Soon, Lu Zeyan and the female guests agreed that dinner would be a BBQ, a summer barbecue feast.
With a little time left before dusk, the courtyard suddenly quieted down as everyone returned to their rooms.
Chen Yuan yawned and sat in the pavilion in the courtyard, watching the sun slowly sink in the distance.
The sun on a cloudy day seems to have no warmth at all.
"Are you bored?" Meng Shuran walked out of the villa and walked towards Chen Yuan after seeing him.
"Really? Actually, it's alright, but I'm still quite tired after a whole day," Chen Yuan said calmly.
"How was your day?" Chen Yuan asked.
Meng Shuran shook her head, sat on the sofa next to him, and smiled, "Although I was quite looking forward to it at first, I forgot what it felt like as soon as I came out."
"So it's probably going to be a boring day."
"I understand, I've often experienced this feeling before," Chen Yuan said in surprise. He thought he was the only one who felt this way.
"Didn't you go to the haunted house with Zhang Jianjian and Lin Wanxing? Was it really fun?" Meng Shuran asked.
"If it's fun, take me with you sometime!" She was very curious about what Zhang Jianjian said and wanted to try it out.
Chen Yuan was stunned, then said in a serious tone, "Then you can have those two take you out to play later."
"Oh? I was rejected?" Meng Shuran asked in surprise.
"Refuse?" Chen Yuan was puzzled.
"It's nothing." Meng Shuran paused for a moment, shook her head, and looked at the sunset in the distance.
As the sun disappeared below the horizon, the others gradually came out to gather.
Even though it was a BBQ, everyone changed their clothes.
Zhang Jianjian and Lin Wanxing changed into casual clothes, and even Xu Zhiyi changed into sportswear, a short T-shirt and short straight-leg pants, with her hair tied in a bun.
This change made everyone present sigh in amazement; the aloof and mature woman had transformed into a sporty girl.
"You're so beautiful, Xu Zhiyi," Meng Shuran's voice came from beside her.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan nodded slightly and said, "You are all very beautiful. There isn't a single one of you who isn't beautiful."
Meng Shuran also changed her outfit, which was different from the one she wore in the morning. It was extremely simple, yet it didn't lack elegance at all.
She was wearing sandals, a round-neck T-shirt, and athletic shorts. The silver chain on her wrist had been removed, and her makeup was gone, revealing a slight change in her skin tone in her bare-faced state.
But she was still fair-skinned and beautiful, without any flaws.
This is the strength of a young actress in film and television.
Compared to the simplicity of the girls' side, the boys' side had a lot more variety.
Chen Yuan looked at how handsome Ji Chengyu and the others looked with their hairstyles, and he did have a different impression of them. He felt that he had been too casual.
Although he wanted to make a change, he simply didn't have the money.
"Let's go, it's a six or seven-minute walk from here," Lu Zeyan said, then led the way.
The group of people came out of the villa, and to outsiders, they looked very imposing.
It's rare to see a group of ten people on the street, let alone ten handsome men and beautiful women.
The audience, who had just finished eating, watched this scene and began to discuss it animatedly.
In particular, guests from the entertainment industry such as Ji Chengyu and Lin Wanxing already have a large fan base, and the live stream is currently filled with their fans' comments.
By the time we arrived at the BBQ hut, it was already getting dark.
Lights came on at the entrance of the cabin, and the staff members' eyes gleamed with excitement as they saw the group arrive.
Since it's a self-service format, customers need to select their own ingredients, seasonings, and so on.
Everyone immediately and tacitly began preparing for tonight's BBQ.
Chen Yuan stayed behind to start a fire; ten people would need three large barbecue grills.
Lu Zeyan and others went to select ingredients, while some others prepared seasonings.
After a flurry of activity, smoke rose from the doorway of the hut, signaling that it was already dark. The barbecue hut nestled in the woods offered a truly pleasant experience.
"Chen Yuan, I want three chicken wings!" Zhang Jianjian came over with a handful of chicken wings.
"Is it okay to eat so much?" Chen Yuan looked at her figure suspiciously. Among the girls, she was probably the heaviest.
Zhang Jianjian was puzzled. Following his gaze, she looked at her stomach, and immediately her eyebrows shot up. "Look again! I don't have a belly!" she exclaimed.
"I didn't say you had a little belly," Chen Yuan muttered, taking the chicken wings and placing them on the grill.
There were three people in charge of the barbecue: him, Lu Zeyan, and Shen Zhici.
This is the result of the male guests losing a game of rock-paper-scissors.
"I want chicken wings too!" Lin Wanxing appeared out of nowhere and put a few more skewers of chicken wings on the grill.
"Me too!" Xu Zhiyi put both legs on it.
"That's enough, grill some for Lu Zeyan and Shen Zhici!" Chen Yuan said speechlessly, "It's too hot huddled together. I'll give them to you when they're done."
The group crowded around him, leaving no room to move an inch.
Lu Zeyan and Shen Zhici felt a mix of emotions upon seeing this scene. Why were these guys ordering Chen Yuan around? They wanted to be ordered around too!
On the long table, there are various drinks and snacks, and the BBQ booth also provides a bar, piano and other equipment.
Others were quickly drawn over and gathered at the bar to try their hand at mixing cocktails.
The cottage was filled with laughter and chatter for a while, and it was quite lively.
The tens of millions of viewers in the live stream watched this scene with smiles on their faces, and then started clicking on the newly opened voting page.
