I was slacking off on a dating reality show when the female guests treated me like a treasure chest.

As time went by, many people gradually returned to the villa.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the lawn in the courtyard was bathed in a crimson glow as the sun set, a golden orb hanging in the sky.

"There's a sunset?" Xia Yao exclaimed in surprise, and immediately everyone in the room got up and came outside.

Seeing this, Chen Nian didn't join in the fun, but instead glanced at the clock on the wall.

It was already past 5 p.m., and there was still some time before it got dark.

Before that, there didn't seem to be anything to do.

However, the next moment, a wad of paper suddenly rolled down in front of him, startling him.

Chen Nian looked at the crumpled paper that had fallen into his arms, glanced around, and made eye contact with a staff member off-camera. The staff member gestured for him to open it and take a look.

"Huh?" Chen Nian looked completely bewildered, but still picked up the crumpled paper, unfolded it, and glanced at it. "Hiss~~"

Chen Nian stared intently at the reward displayed at the end of the message: +20000. Upon seeing this, he looked at the staff member, who nodded slightly in response. Chen Nian immediately became excited.

"Why didn't Lin Ran tell me there was a hidden reward!" Chen Nian muttered to himself. Just for suggesting that he go to the movies with Liu Ting, he got 20,000 yuan. That was too good to pass up.

Afterwards, Chen Nian threw the crumpled paper into the trash can next to him, and everything went as usual.

At this moment, the others walked in from outside, still not quite finished.

"I saw such a beautiful sunset on my first day on set, it's a pity I can't take pictures."

"Yes, but speaking of which, I remember there's a famous sunrise and sunset viewing platform at the top of the mountain, right?"

"Um."

Su Xiao spoke softly from the crowd, responding to Qi Feng's question.

"Oh, right, Su Xiao, you're from Yangcheng, right?" Li Tian suddenly asked, looking at Su Xiao.

"Yes." Su Xiao nodded, looking at Li Tian with a puzzled expression.

Li Tian's eyes lit up, and he said, "Didn't you say there's a temple on Lotus Mountain with a famous marriage tree? Have you been there?"

"No." Su Xiao shook her head, looking puzzled. This was the first time she had heard of this.

"The Marriage Tree, tell me what's going on?" Suhe and the others became interested and asked Li Tian to explain in detail.

Immediately, everyone gathered around in the living room to listen to Li Tian talk about the marriage tree on Lotus Mountain.

Chen Nian sat in the crowd, keeping a low profile like an outsider, and listened curiously to Li Tian's story about the marriage tree.

Lotus Hill?

As Chen Nian listened, he wondered if he had ever been to Lotus Mountain before.

But upon closer reflection, there are no related memories. Perhaps he came from Earth.

Li Tian successfully piqued everyone's interest, and by the time they came to their senses, it was already getting dark outside.

However, after discussing it, everyone decided to go up the mountain to take a look tomorrow.

"Is it almost time to go?" Liu Ting glanced at the time, silently touched her lower abdomen, and felt a little hungry.

"Okay, let's go." Chen Nian nodded; in fact, he was also a little hungry.

With that, the two got up and prepared to go out.

"Where are you going?" Everyone looked at the two of them in surprise. They hadn't worked together all day. Were they going to secretly meet up?

Li Tian looked at Liu Ting nervously, knowing that he had been following her around all day and had finally gotten to know her.

"Let's eat," Liu Ting said calmly, seemingly oblivious to the strange looks she was getting.

"ha?"

"Are you two having dinner?"

Everyone was even more shocked now.

"Isn't this Chen Nian's experience voucher for two people? You guys went to that private restaurant at noon today, right? You need permission to go in."

"So I asked Chen Nian for a spot."

"After all, we're neighbors," Liu Ting said with a simple smile.

Before long, she and Chen Nian disappeared through the doorway, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

After a while, Tang Xi's voice rang out, "Isn't this normal? We should prioritize our neighbors." Although there was nothing wrong with what she said, it still gave everyone present a strange feeling.

Li Tian frowned, looked at the empty doorway, and sighed inwardly.

"So what should we do? Should we find a place where we can get freebies, or should we cook it ourselves?" Tang Xi asked.

"Should we go out and handle it ourselves?" Suhe asked uncertainly.

Then, others also spoke up, and in the end, the minority yielded to the majority, and most people agreed to go out and solve the problem themselves.

This afternoon, everyone took a walk around and realized that many shops in the resort are open for free, but some places require interaction during the program to obtain them.

For example, hot spring vouchers, movie tickets, etc.

While everyone was still debating what to eat, Chen Nian and Liu Ting had already arrived at the private restaurant.

Looking at the small courtyard surrounded by a fence, Chen Nian was somewhat surprised; this private restaurant was more mysterious than he had imagined.

"Are you two users of the trial voucher?" A waiter approached them with a smile and asked.

Upon hearing this, Chen Nian handed the trial voucher in his hand to the other party.

The other party glanced at it and then said, "Please come in with me. Welcome to Guangzhou's No. 1 private kitchen, which has a 30-year history. Tonight's chef is Ms. Li Qingyang."

The waiter led the way, explaining everything about the place to the two of them.

Chen Nian and Liu Ting were stunned. They exchanged a glance, feeling that this place seemed quite powerful.

The main body of the house is made of red bricks with carved windows.

Once inside, the space is roughly divided into three floors. The first and second floors are the main course area, while the third floor is the wine tasting area.

The two were seated in a private room on the second floor. The window overlooked the resort and reflected the view of the Ferris wheel in the distance.

Looking at the Ferris wheel slowly turning in the distance, Liu Ting exclaimed, "I was amazed when I saw it during the day, but I didn't expect it to be even more amazing when the lights are on at night."

"Speaking of which, places like this are rare even in Haidu."

Chen Nian nodded in agreement. He had never been to Haidu and did not know the situation there, but common sense told him that Haidu should be no worse than Guangzhou.

Soon, a woman dressed in a chef's uniform, looking neat and tidy, came over and introduced the evening's menu to the two of them.

This surprised Chen Nian and Liu Ting. They hadn't expected that there would be seven dishes and two desserts in one meal, making them worry about whether they could finish it.

However, a dozen minutes later, when the steaming dishes were served, the seemingly small portions turned Chen Nian and Liu Ting's surprised expressions into smiles.

"You think so too, right?" Liu Ting asked.

"Mm." Chen Nian nodded; on this point, the two were in sync.

Fortunately, the food was served quickly enough that as soon as we finished what we were eating, the next dish was served.

It was like a relay race.

When the first dessert, pudding, was served, Chen Nian leaned back in his chair, rubbing his stomach. Tonight had brought him quite a few surprises.

"I'm actually a little full," Chen Nian remarked.

"Yes, I thought there wouldn't be enough to eat, but I suddenly felt full as I ate." Liu Ting smiled, thinking that she hadn't made a mistake coming tonight for this meal.

Seeing that she was eating with satisfaction, Chen Nian pondered for a moment and then asked, "Does what you said today still stand?"
