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

Nothing happened that night.

The next morning, as dawn broke, a soft alarm bell rang in the villa's corridor.

Chen Nian had just finished his morning run, quickly took a shower, changed his clothes, and went downstairs to have breakfast.

The two-day live broadcast has ended, and starting today, the program will return to its formal recording format.

It was still early, and most of the guests in the villa were sleepy and listless as they gathered in the living room.

For those who are used to staying up late for entertainment, the nights are always exceptionally long without cell phones and electronic devices. They often toss and turn in bed for a long time before finally falling asleep.

A moment later, the butler walked slowly into the hall. Seeing the languid expressions on everyone's faces, he clapped his hands lightly and broke the silence with his words.

"Distinguished guests, a new journey is about to begin. Today, we will all be relocating to the recording location and heading to Guangzhou Airport to catch our flight to our next stop, Tianya Haijiao Resort in southern China."

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of surprised exclamations erupted in the hall.

"seaside?!"

"Tianya Haijiao? Isn't that the southernmost point of the country? There are resorts there!"

"We should have gone swimming a long time ago. In this sweltering summer, only the beach and the sea truly capture the essence of summer."

The female guests' eyes lit up instantly. Although the days of mountain villas and sports competitions were very pleasant, something was still missing.

This arrangement, ironically, met everyone's expectations.

Moreover, the male guest's expression changed slightly when the beach was mentioned, and he couldn't hide his longing in his eyes.

Azure seas and silver beaches, coconut palms and evening breezes, warm summer sun – just imagining these scenes is enough to soothe the mind and body.

Not to mention the unanimous thought that popped into everyone's mind: perhaps they would see the female guests wearing bikinis. Just thinking about this made Li Tian and the others secretly thrilled.

Chen Nian paused slightly as he took a bite of bread.

Southern Province.

He thought for a moment before he fully realized what was happening.

The geographical divisions of this world differ slightly from those of Earth. The familiar tropical islands are named Southern Province, while the iconic Tianya Haijiao (End of the Earth) landmark is completely preserved.

Place names may change, but the mountains, rivers, and landforms remain largely the same.

The ends of the earth on Blue Star are just a scenic spot with rocks, but here, an entire seaside resort has been built.

Going up the mountain and down to the sea, this trip was truly enjoyable. Most importantly, we can finally enjoy all kinds of seafood to our hearts' content.

This was also the first time he had stepped out of Guangdong Province and gone to another place since he transmigrated here. Thinking about it carefully, he realized that he had lived for so many years and had only stayed in a handful of cities, so he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Everyone quickly finished breakfast and packed their belongings.

The production crew's bus was already waiting outside the villa. Ten people boarded the bus one after another, and the bus slowly started moving.

The guesthouse owners along the way stopped and waved to him. Chen Nian sat by the car window and inexplicably experienced the treatment of a star being the center of attention, and he sighed to himself.

The bus left the resort, entered the highway, and sped straight towards Guangzhou Airport without any obstacles.

The morning rush hour had passed, the roads were smooth and the atmosphere inside the car was relaxed and comfortable. The five female guests sat around the back row, discussing with great interest their ideas on beach outfits, sun protection outfits, and taking photos.

The male guests in the front row, however, were all lost in their own thoughts and fantasies.

A smile played on Li Tian's lips as he glanced furtively at Liu Ting behind him, already planning an invitation to go on a trip.

Suhe and Qi Feng chatted about surfing, beach sports, and other activities, and talked about their upcoming island activities.

Chen Nian leaned against the car window, gazing absently at the rapidly receding street scene outside, quietly listening to the idle chatter of the crowd.

Although his conversation with Liu Ting last night shocked him, after calming down, it seemed that was all there was to it, and life continued as usual.

Slacking off and doing nothing remains his core principle, but there are some things he needs to be a little more cautious about.

Warm golden morning light streamed through the car window, a gentle breeze caressed my face, the weather was clear, and even my mood brightened up.

Upon arrival at the airport, the production team had already completed the boarding procedures for all members, saving them the hassle of queuing for security checks.

The group efficiently completed security checks and boarded the plane to the southern province after a short wait.

The entire process was efficient and efficient, and Chen Nian witnessed the production team's work efficiency firsthand.

After boarding and taking their seats, everyone took advantage of the flight to catch up on sleep and rest, as the days of early morning recording had been particularly exhausting.

Chen Nian borrowed an eye mask from Su Xiao, put it on, and fell asleep immediately. He didn't open his eyes until the flight attendant's gentle landing announcement came on.

Before we knew it, the two-hour flight had come to an end.

He looked up at the porthole, where an endless expanse of clear blue sea stretched out before him. The water was a deep, clear blue, with waves crashing in layers, creating a particularly soothing scene.

"This sea is so blue," Chen Nian murmured to himself, his heart filled with anticipation for his upcoming life by the sea.

A dozen minutes later, the plane landed smoothly at the airport in southern province.

Once the plane came to a complete stop, everyone followed the flight attendants' instructions and disembarked in an orderly manner.

A humid, salty sea breeze swept over me, a stark contrast to the dry, crisp air of the mountains and forests of Guangzhou. The humid air was a unique feature of tropical islands.

Everyone quickly collected their luggage, not daring to linger any longer.

The production team deliberately avoided crowded routes to prevent passersby and fans from gathering and crowding around the production, ensuring the smooth progress of the recording to the greatest extent possible.

Today, the southern province is cloudless, with the sun shining brightly and the sky clear and bright.

The sightseeing bus arranged by the production team was already waiting outside. Everyone boarded the bus in an orderly manner, and the vehicle slowly drove away from the airport, heading towards the destination of this filming.

Along the way, the scenery outside the window was constantly renewed.

Tall coconut trees are neatly planted on both sides of the road, their lush branches swaying in the wind, and in the distance, the endless blue coastline can be vaguely seen at the horizon.

Chen Nian looked up at the coconut trees by the roadside and saw that the branches were bare and there wasn't a single coconut. He couldn't help but feel puzzled: "I thought that when I came here, I could pick coconuts anywhere to quench my thirst."

"You're overthinking it." Tang Xi, sitting behind him, couldn't help but tease him. "If you hung coconuts all over the place and let them fall, the hospital would be overflowing with people getting hit by them all year round."

"It's true, we can't see a single coconut." Hearing this, the others craned their necks to look, also filled with curiosity.

As the initial excitement wore off, the carriage gradually quieted down, with people either taking a nap or quietly enjoying the scenery.

The 40-minute drive passed in the blink of an eye. The bus slowly drove into a seaside resort and finally stopped in front of a row of exquisite sea-view villas.

"Everyone, we have arrived at our destination," the driver announced, and everyone got up and got off the bus one after another.

Chen Nian followed at the end of the group. After getting off the bus, everyone picked up their suitcases and froze for a moment.

There are two clear signs at the entrance indicating the male guests' accommodation area and the female guests' accommodation area.

"The male and female guests will have to live separately?" Suhe looked surprised.

"It seems that the space is limited, so we can only divide it into two townhouses," Wen Jingran said calmly.

Although Li Tian was filled with resentment, the program's arrangements were already finalized, so he could only silently accept them.

The group then parted ways, with the male and female guests each entering their own private villas.

Chen Nian dragged his suitcase into the boys' villa. All the rooms inside faced the beach and the sea.

After a brief discussion, the group decided to allocate rooms by playing rock-paper-scissors, and he ultimately chose room number 3 on the second floor.

After putting down his luggage, he went to the balcony and gazed into the distance.

Just a few dozen meters away lies a soft, silvery-white sand beach. Under the blazing sun, the sea glistens and stretches as far as the eye can see, offering an exceptional sea view.

"The place is really nice, but it's by the sea all year round, so the humidity is too high. Living here for a long time will inevitably lead to rheumatism," Chen Nian muttered to himself.

After enjoying the sea breeze on the balcony for a while and resting briefly, she went downstairs to meet up with the other male guests.

The two villas were next to each other. After thinking it over, everyone realized that it was unrealistic to wait for the female guest to come to them, so they got up and went out to the female guest's villa.

When Suhe, who was walking in front, pushed open the door of the girls' villa, everyone stopped in their tracks as they walked in, and a look of amazement instantly appeared in their eyes.

In just a short while, Liu Ting and the others had changed into refreshing and eye-catching summer outfits.

The girls who were wearing long-sleeved shirts and casual trousers when they were rushing to work in the morning have now been completely transformed.

Lightweight and short summer outfits accentuate a slender and graceful figure, perfectly showcasing a beautiful neck and fair, delicate forearms, creating a refreshing and radiant look.

Warm sunlight streamed through the skylight in the courtyard, falling on the delicate features of the group, making them appear even more gentle and captivating.

Long hair, whether loose or simply tied up, paired with lush tropical greenery in the courtyard, creates a strong sense of summer island atmosphere.

Li Tian and the others were slightly lost in thought.

It has to be admitted that girls can get ready and dress up much faster than you can imagine.

Liu Ting wore a short, casual outfit full of energy, her bright and playful eyes radiating youthful vitality.

Su Xiao wore a light-colored, gentle long dress, with a graceful and quiet temperament, soft eyebrows and eyes, and a gentle charm like that of the Jiangnan water towns. Standing quietly in the crowd, she was particularly pleasing to the eye and did not look like a native of Guangzhou at all.

Tang Xi's outfit remains simple and neat, exuding a cool and aloof feel, yet she has shed her previous aloofness and gained a touch of the relaxed and lazy vibe unique to the seaside.

Zhou Yu and Xia Yao both wore sunglasses, but their styles were completely opposite: one was cool and casual, while the other was quiet and reserved, each with their own unique characteristics.

Only now did Chen Nian truly appreciate the beauty of these girls; they looked beautiful no matter what they wore.

It must be said that each of the five women has her own unique beauty and temperament. In terms of appearance alone, they are almost impeccable, enough to make people temporarily overlook their individual personality differences.

Li Tian held his breath, his gaze fixed on Liu Ting, his resolve growing stronger: she was the only one he could invite today.

Su He, Wen Jingran, and the others also abandoned their usual casual and nonchalant attitude, their eyes filled with obvious amazement.

Even Qi Feng, who is usually calm and reserved, paused slightly and looked at the people in front of him a few more times.

A subtle, ambiguous atmosphere quietly spread through the courtyard.

Chen Nian remained calm and composed throughout the entire event.

He glanced around casually, made a few simple comments in his mind, and then walked straight to the sofa and sat down.

Looking out at the sea, he wondered if he should try surfing or beach activities.

In fact, he has always loved the sea and knows a lot about various water sports. It would be a shame to just lie around on the island since he has come all this way.

Just as the female guests were teasing each other and commenting on each other's outfits, the butler slowly walked into the courtyard.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, the butler walked to the center of the crowd, with a gentle smile on his face, cleared his throat, and officially announced the new recording rules for today.

"Welcome, distinguished guests, to the Tianya Haijiao Resort in Southern Province."

"The island filming phase has officially begun. We will unlock brand new interactive gameplay. Today's first task involves the male guest taking the initiative to invite you out. It starts now."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.

"Rules for this round: The five male guests will take turns to come forward, choose their favorite female guests, and invite them to pair up to form temporary partners for the day."

"After successfully teaming up, an exclusive beach mission will be unlocked, and you will begin your island adventure for the day. Specific mission details will be announced once the team is formed."

"Next, we invite all the male guests to improvise."

The butler stepped aside, and the simple and straightforward rules instantly brought the atmosphere to a fever pitch.

The female guests had different expressions; some looked surprised and frowned slightly, clearly feeling that random invitations were bound to be awkward and troublesome.

Some remained calm and composed, waiting for the boy's next move.

Li Tian and the others immediately straightened their expressions and became serious.

Of the five, Li Tian and Wen Jingran already had their own preferences, while the other three did not yet have a fixed target.

Qi Feng lowered his eyes slightly, lost in thought. Wen Jingran turned to look at Qi Feng, then glanced at Chen Nian, who was staring blankly into space, and seemed to be deep in thought.

Liu Ting and her group all turned their gazes to the five male guests in front of them, and a subtle tension filled the air.

Chen Nian came to his senses and felt a headache and trouble.

He thought for a moment and decided to wait until the very end to make his choice. Once everyone else had made their selections, he could choose the one that was left, thus avoiding any dilemma or embarrassment.

A short while later, the butler raised his wrist to check the time, and his voice rang out clearly:

"So, the first round of heartwarming invitations to the beach officially begins."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Tian was the first to stand up.

He straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, put on a perfectly timed smile, and strode straight toward Liu Ting.

When Liu Ting saw him walking straight towards her, a clear look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
