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

Chen Nian was lying on his back in the room, his feet hooked on the bottom of the bed, struggling to sit up and do sit-ups.

She's a little over 1.8 meters tall and weighs just under 130 pounds, so she's definitely considered thin.

We have no shortage of food now, but we can't neglect exercise.

Five sets of sit-ups and two sets of push-ups in the evening, followed by a half-hour run in the morning...

This is Chen Nian's current plan, after all, health is the foundation for slacking off.

Downstairs, Suhe and the others, who had finished packing up their things in the courtyard, were thinking of chatting with the female guests, but when they went inside, they found that everyone had gone back to their rooms.

So the group chatted in the living room for a while, and then got up and went back to their rooms to take a shower.

Meanwhile, in the program coordination center of the villa next door, the director was having a meeting with the team. When discussing why Chen Nian should be rewarded for his tasks, he mysteriously said, "Don't you guys think he seems reluctant to move around without some kind of reward?"

Upon hearing this, everyone pondered for a moment, and then, with expressions of sudden realization, they all nodded in agreement.

"So why bring in a guest who doesn't like to move around?" a colleague from the production team muttered.

"Good question!" The director looked at his colleague and said seriously, "Could you ask Xinghe for me why Zhang Li, who was originally scheduled to appear on the show, didn't, and instead someone from the creative department showed up?"

"I remember this was your responsibility, wasn't it?"

"In short, he brought us a very interesting surprise, one that even Zhang Li couldn't match." The director made a decision to continue investing in Chen Nian to create some additional fun content.

After all, investors have plenty of money; investing a few hundred thousand more is no big deal for them.

Late at night, Chen Nian came out of the shower and lay on the bed listlessly, muttering to himself, "The workload seems a bit heavy, but the results should be good."

"Speaking of which, I guess I made an extra 50,000 today. I wonder if they'll renege on their debt?" Chen Nian thought to himself, feeling quite pleased with himself as he thought about today's mission reward.

Silent night...

The next day, while the production team was still preparing for the live broadcast, Chen Nian had already gotten up.

Despite the muscle soreness from last night's workout, he still washed up early and went out, then ran a lap around the villa.

Before leaving, he made a point of noting the time; the round trip took about fifteen minutes.

Then, based on the fifteen-minute timeframe, it was estimated that I had run about two to three kilometers.

Back at the villa, everyone else had already gotten up and come downstairs; they were in the kitchen making breakfast.

Upon seeing this, Chen Nian went back to his room to take a shower, then changed into clean clothes and came down.

"Where did you go just now?" Liu Ting asked casually as she leisurely sipped her milk.

"I'm asking you." Seeing that Chen Nian didn't answer, she nudged him with her elbow.

"I?"

"I went for a run," Chen Nian said.

"Oh!" Liu Ting was surprised. She looked Chen Nian up and down and nodded slightly. "Not bad. Having a pretty face alone is not enough. You have to have a good figure too."

"I have high hopes for you becoming a handsome guy with eight-pack abs," Liu Ting said with satisfaction.

"Eight-pack abs!" Zhou Yu's eyes lit up, her bright eyes sparkling, and she said with a smile, "Eight-pack abs, I've never touched a handsome guy with eight-pack abs before."

"Be more reserved, this is a TV show." Tang Xi rolled her eyes at her.

Su Xiao blinked, clearly also curious about the allure of eight-pack abs.

Chen Nian was eating a sandwich and holding another one in his hand. He watched as the girls talked about abs and then noticed that the girls were dressed very attractively today.

That's strange, how can their suitcases hold so many clothes?

In fact, apart from Chen Nian, Su He and the others had already noticed this matter. Today, Liu Ting and the others were dressed in an exceptionally simple manner.

Xia Yao, in particular, completely shattered their preconceived notions about short-haired girls.

She wore a light blue shirt and dark khaki straight-leg sweatpants, with a light blue hair clip tucking her bangs behind her ears. Her sophisticated and aloof face exuded a feminine charm.

This is simply unreasonable...

Soon, after finishing breakfast, everyone gathered in the living room, where the photographer was already in place.

"Everyone, today is Saturday, which is also a live broadcast day. This morning's activity is hiking."

"We have prepared five routes for our guests. Groups of adjacent guests will be formed by the group that reaches the top of the mountain the fastest. The group will have free time in the afternoon. The others will stay to do DIY crafts as souvenirs for the resort."

The housekeeper's voice wasn't loud, but it startled Chen Nian and the others, who then realized that these girls had known in advance that they were going to climb a mountain.

That's why their clothes are so simple...

The next moment, the butler placed five crumpled pieces of paper on the table and let everyone take one.

During this period, the third day of Heartbeat Beat, the first weekend of live streaming, also officially began.

As the most anticipated variety show before its premiere, the highlights of the first day of filming instantly generated over 100 million views after airing yesterday.

At this moment, in just a few minutes, around 10:00 a.m. on a weekend morning, millions of viewers have flooded in, and that number is still rising.

Guangzhou, an apartment...

Lin Ran was doing yoga, and a live broadcast of Heartbeat was playing on the portable TV in front of her.

After all, Chen Nian was someone she recommended to get in, so she needed to make sure he could adapt, lest she be unable to explain herself to the higher-ups later.

The next moment, when Chen Nian's figure appeared in the camera's view, Lin Ran frowned slightly.

"What is this guy doing?"

Chen Nian is drinking milk right now; this is his second bottle. For him, calcium supplementation is also necessary these days.

Meanwhile, Liu Ting, who was standing next to him, was playing rock-paper-scissors with Tang Xi and the others.

Soon, the five girls had decided who won. Liu Ting randomly picked one, opened it, and saw that it was Line 5.

"Does this have any different meaning?" Chen Nian glanced at the numbers on the paper, not quite understanding their rock-paper-scissors game.

"No," Liu Ting said expressionlessly, because she had only just realized what had happened herself.

After receiving their respective routes, everyone split into five teams, standing together with their neighbors.

Li Tian looked at Liu Ting standing next to Chen Nian, then at Su Xiao beside him. Su Xiao seemed pretty good too...

He was conflicted at the moment. His initial target was Liu Ting, but now he felt that anyone would do!

"Well then, everyone, you can get ready to depart. Our photographer will be recording your time," the butler said.

Afterwards, the group left the villa, found the signs indicating their respective routes, and set off with the photographer.

"This mountain seems a bit high!" Chen Nian looked up at the winding staircase and exclaimed.

"Don't tell me you can't do it!" Liu Ting said, stretching her muscles with great enthusiasm.

Upon hearing this, Chen Nian replied seriously, "Do you know what my strongest skill is?"

"What?" Liu Ting shook her head.

"endurance!"

"Oh, oh!" Liu Ting's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed excitedly, "That's it! I've run a full marathon before, I have to take first place today!"

"....."

"Are you serious?" Chen Nian suddenly became a little timid.
