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

The thought of selling a song and potentially being able to lie low for a few months filled Chen Nian with anticipation.

The atmosphere changed after Chen Nian's folk song started playing, and the discussion shifted from music to folk music.

Even Su He and Wen Jingran went up and performed a song.

Of course, compared to professional singers like Liu Ting and Li Tian, ​​Chen Nian naturally paled in comparison. He listened to their folk songs and made comparisons in his mind.

Then he discovered that these folk songs were of very high quality.

Judging solely from his rendition of "We," it's inferior to the songs sung by Liu Ting and the others.

But the folk song "We" has a simple melody and is easy to sing, but its strength lies in its profound meaning and its relatable reflections on life.

The lyrics of the entire song seem to reflect many things.

For example, insights and reflections on life, nature, and human nature.

This is a song that's easy to listen to, and that's exactly what folk songs are all about. Folk songs are different from pop songs; they have diverse singing styles and lyrics.

"The fish is ready!" Suhe's voice interrupted everyone's excitement, and the next moment, everyone gathered around.

The production team delivered more than a dozen fish, one for each person and some left over.

Before long, everyone had a grilled fish in hand, and they sat on the beach, enjoying their meal.

Chen Nian has one fish in each hand; he caught them himself, so there's nothing wrong with eating an extra one.

Moreover, grilled seafood is much more flavorful. Just looking at it makes my stomach acid churn. One bite and my mouth waters instantly. Grilled fish with seasoning is a completely different thing from grilled fish without seasoning.

"How about it? My cooking is pretty good, isn't it?" Suhe said proudly, seeing everyone enjoying the food so much.

"No doubt about it, it's delicious!"

"That's amazing! With your skills, it's a shame you're not setting up a street stall."

"That's a bonus!"

Even Chen Nian gave him a thumbs up.

Seeing this, Suhe chuckled and said, "Even Chen Nian, that foodie, gave it a thumbs up. Looks like I'm really pretty awesome, haha."

Although they had just eaten, everyone still devoured the grilled fish quite quickly.

Keep in mind that each fish weighs three or four pounds. Even after removing the internal organs, there's still about a pound of fish meat left. Yet, each person managed to finish a whole fish.

Chen Nian even ate two of them.

Before long, everyone was sitting on the beach, hands behind their backs, saying, "We're really stuffed this time, I need to digest!"

"I hope I haven't gained weight after sleeping?" Tang Xi muttered.

"Fat?" Liu Ting was taken aback upon hearing this, then looked at her lower abdomen. "Oh no, I think I might have a little belly fat lately?"

As soon as she finished speaking, several boys silently looked towards her stomach.

Looking at that perfectly smooth belly, everyone secretly thought, "This is nothing. With a belly like that, they could play around for a year."

"Today has been so long," Su Xiao said, looking at the stars overhead.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

I set off from Guangzhou this morning, and now I'm sitting on a beach in southern province. It's the same day, but what happened in Guangzhou feels like it happened several days ago.

"Is the shoot over?" Wen Jingran asked, then noticed the photographer beside him. "Okay, it can't be only eight or nine o'clock, can it?"

As he was speaking, the butler appeared the next moment.

When everyone saw the butler, their eyes lit up. Once the butler appeared, filming was basically over.

"Everyone, tonight has been an exciting day, but at this moment, I have to tell you that today's pairings will be broken up, and tomorrow morning, we will start five-on-five team activities."

"Team A consists of two men and three women, and Team B consists of two women and three men."

"This time, the female guests will form teams first, and then the male guests will be invited. The selection process will begin tomorrow morning."

"In the next ten minutes, we have prepared a small interactive activity for everyone. Each female guest will receive a seashell, which was carefully selected by the resort staff."

"Then, here comes the important part: we placed five mailboxes at the entrance of the male guest's villa, each with a corresponding male guest's name on it."

"Female guests, please put the seashells in your hands into the mailboxes of the male guests you wish to put them into. Once the seashells you put in and the seashells in the male guests' mailboxes are of the same type, it is considered a successful match."

"Two seashells can be strung together by a master craftsman to create a beautiful seashell necklace or bracelet, and each seashell will have the other's name written on it."

"Now, I'm distributing the female guests' shells to you. You can leave now and go back to collect your shells. The results will be announced tomorrow morning."

The housekeeper said, then took out a transparent sealed bag containing seashells, with the female guest's name printed on it.

Liu Ting and the others took the seashells handed to them by the housekeeper and examined them curiously.

Although the housekeeper rambled on and on, everyone roughly understood that tomorrow they would be divided into two teams, and the second thing was that the female guests would have to pass the seashells in their hands to the male guests based on their intuition.

Feel?

Su Xiao looked at the silvery-yellowish seashell in her hand. This seashell was not round and smooth, but had horns growing out, like a shrimp.

The next moment, she looked up at Chen Nian, wondering to herself, "Shrimp? Could Chen Nian's be this kind of shellfish?"

In Liu Ting's hand was a very clean scallop shell, yellow in color, a common type found on the beach.

"I think mine will be like this," Li Tian said seriously, leaning closer.

"No, yours isn't like that. Yours should be the kind of shrimp shell with outstretched claws that Su Xiao has," Liu Ting said.

"Huh?" Su Xiao blinked, looking incredulous, then shook her head, seemingly refuting Liu Ting's statement.

Soon, before they could think any further, the housekeeper's voice rang out, and the girls got up, went ashore, put on their shoes, and headed towards the villa.

Li Tian, ​​Su He, and the others watched the departing girl and offered their thoughts.

"I am a scallop!" Li Tian shouted loudly.

"..."

"You're not!" Liu Ting, who hadn't gone far, paused and said quietly.

Chen Nian finished the last sip of his soda, burped, and thought to himself, "How much did I make tonight? Thirty thousand. That was awesome!"

He quickly calculated his recent income.

The marriage tree cost 25,000, and today it cost 30,000, so I've made 55,000. Tsk tsk, life is getting more and more promising.

After a while, the butler spoke up: "Alright, everyone can go back now. You can't check your mailboxes. We'll announce it tomorrow morning."

Upon hearing that he could go back, Chen Nian breathed a sigh of relief, got up to stretch his limbs, and then headed back to the villa. After eating and drinking his fill, he was a little tired.

Going back to take a hot shower and then get a good night's sleep is the real priority.

As for the shells that Suhe and the others had been talking about, Chen Nian wasn't particularly interested. They wouldn't be voting for him anyway. Maybe there was one? Chen Nian thought to himself.
