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

Upon hearing this, Liu Ting raised her hand and said, "Then we'll go together!" After saying that, she looked at the others.

"I don't want to cook tonight anyway," Tang Xi shrugged.

"Can I go too?" Su Xiao blinked and looked at Chen Nian.

Chen Nian was taken aback. Why did Su Xiao always ask for his opinion?

Soon, the group followed him out of the villa.

Li Tian and Wen Jingran didn't mind who they ate with, as long as they stayed close to Liu Ting and Tang Xi.

The two of them now have a clear goal.

Chen Nian looked at the five people behind him and sighed inwardly. Since they were going out to eat, they should at least give each other some ideas. Helpless, he could only look at the map across from the villa.

Ultimately, he chose a Western-style fast-food restaurant.

For them, who have limited choices, going to a private kitchen-style restaurant is probably not an option.

"Speaking of which, there's an escape room at the resort, and it seems like you can go in and play for free." On the way, Li Tian and Liu Ting mentioned the escape room deep inside.

Xia Yao had mentioned this to them before.

When Li Tian brought it up again, Liu Ting became somewhat curious.

"How about we all go have some fun later? I remember the talent show doesn't start until 7 p.m., so we'll still have time after dinner," Liu Ting said.

"Of course I have no problem with that, I'm curious too," Li Tian quickly agreed.

Wen Jingran, who was standing to the side, naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass, and nodded repeatedly in agreement with Liu Ting's suggestion.

"I don't really want to play," Tang Xi shook her head. "I'm scared of these kinds of escape room games."

"What about Su Xiao and Chen Nian? Are you going?" Li Tian asked Su Xiao and Chen Nian as soon as he saw this.

Su Xiao thought for a moment, and although she was also a little curious, she firmly shook her head, expressing her own wishes.

"I'm not interested. I heard it's a haunted house-style escape room," Chen Nian said casually. He thought these guys would be terrified.

"Okay, it's three against three, so you go with those two guys. You'll have two handsome guys protecting you." Tang Xi patted Liu Ting on the shoulder.

Liu Ting was speechless, but then awkwardly laughed as she spoke, "How about we wait for Zhou Yu and the others to come back, and then ask them to bring one or two more people along?"

Upon hearing this, Li Tian and Wen Jingran sighed inwardly in regret, but still nodded in agreement.

As they spoke, the group arrived at the restaurant entrance.

Chen Nian pushed open the door and went in. He looked around and found that there were only four-person tables and no large tables. So he found a seat and sat down. "Let's split into two tables. There aren't enough seats."

Then, without waiting for anyone else to think anything, he picked up the menu and started looking at it.

Tang Xi looked at Chen Nian with some curiosity, hesitated for a moment, and then sat down at his table. Su Xiao did the same.

In the blink of an eye, the last seat seemed to be under a spell.

Liu Ting smiled sheepishly and was about to sit down when Li Tian invited her to another table.

She was about to politely decline when Wen Jingran sat down first, next to Chen Nian.

"..." Liu Ting felt a sense of surprise. Shouldn't this be her place?

"There are no seats left, let's sit at another table then," Li Tian said with a slight smile, standing next to Liu Ting.

"Okay." Liu Ting nodded, rolled her eyes at Tang Xi, and then followed Li Tian to another table.

"One medium-rare tomahawk steak, one pudding, a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, and a durian pizza for four people, please." Chen Nian took the menu and ordered from the waiter next to him.

After ordering, he handed the menu to Wen Jingran and the others who were standing nearby.

While they were ordering, Chen Nian got up and went to the bar, only to find that they also sold cocktails there.

It's worth noting that cocktails are one of his hobbies.

In his past life, he worked part-time as a bartender for a while, simply because bartenders looked handsome, but he did love drinking cocktails.

Especially for those who enjoy drinking every day, whether it's spirits or beer, using cocktails to alleviate the craving for alcohol is a great idea.

Chen Nian approached the bar, glanced at the menu, and asked, "Freshly made, or pre-packaged?"

The waiter, a young boy who clearly didn't look like he knew how to mix drinks, smiled and said, "It's a pre-mixed canned cocktail."

"Oh, then I'll have a bottle." Chen Nian wasn't disappointed when he heard this. He had roughly expected it to be this kind of canned product, but it was still worth a try.

When he returned from the bar, he had a bottle of cocktail in his hand.

Seeing this, Tang Xi, sitting opposite him, was somewhat surprised. "You like cocktails?"

"Yes, I learned a little bit before," Chen Nian replied, unaware that he had said the wrong thing.

Before he could make an excuse, Tang Xi said with a surprised look, "I've also learned some. We can exchange ideas sometime. There's a bartending station on the top floor of the villa."

Upon hearing this, Chen Nian was stunned for a moment before realizing that he had mistaken Lan Xing's hobby for his current one.

Perhaps because of a canned cocktail, this usually aloof girl became a little more talkative during the meal.

Wen Jingran realized the reason and became alert, secretly thinking that he would go to the library to borrow a book on bartending later.

Chen Nian was completely oblivious to this, his eyes only on the food: the perfectly cooked steak and the durian of some unknown variety, which was served in such generous portions.

"This meal should normally cost two or three hundred, right?" Chen Nian thought to himself. In the past, he would never have been willing to spend that much.

Eating out once a month is his limit.

Romance reality shows are great!

I'll ask Lin Ran to help him register a few more...

After finishing the tomahawk steak, Chen Nian leisurely took a sip of pure orange juice, as fresh as the one he had squeezed that day.

"Hmm, none of you like durian?" Chen Nian then noticed that he seemed to have eaten half of the pizza he ordered, and the rest was untouched.

Tang Xi glanced at it and shook her head slightly, "I don't really like it, the taste is too strong."

"Indeed, we actors don't really accept these things, especially when there are rehearsals, as it can cause a lot of trouble," Wen Jingran echoed.

Chen Nian blinked, not quite understanding what they were saying.

"It's bad breath, understand?" Tang Xi asked directly when she saw him staring blankly.

"Oh, is it because you have to film kissing scenes? Do you guys have so many kissing scenes?" Chen Nian asked in surprise, unusually becoming a bit gossipy.

"Of course not that many, but when you talk to others, don't you have to stand very close?" Tang Xi said.

Upon hearing this, Chen Nian put his hand to his mouth and breathed on it, feeling a little embarrassed. "Indeed, I didn't even notice these things until you mentioned them." With that, he got up and went to the restroom to rinse his mouth.

"This guy is the type who listens to advice..." Tang Xi muttered upon seeing this.

"I'm the type who listens to advice too," Wen Jingran chimed in from the side.

Tang Xi: "..."
