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

Xia Yao looked at Chen Nian's face, which was flushed from rubbing, and then leaned closer to examine it, exclaiming in surprise, "Someone said you look good with makeup?"

"How so?" Suhe asked, looking Chen Nian up and down. "I must say, Chen Nian's face has really defined features."

Suddenly, the atmosphere changed, and the group took advantage of the break between serving the dishes to study Chen Nian's facial features.

Chen Nian sighed helplessly as he watched them gather around him, realizing he hadn't even settled his score yet.

"Alright, the food's here. Stop messing around with makeup." He leaned back and picked up a lychee to peel.

He hadn't eaten this in a long time.

When it first came out, it was too expensive to afford. By the time I could afford it, I had lost interest.

This feeling also applies to things you want to buy.

However, when Chen Nian put a peeled lychee into his mouth, he felt its cool sweetness and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Then he picked up another one and continued to peel it.

Soon, the waiters brought out plates of blanched seafood.

"Wow, this is so lavish!"

"Thanks to Su Xiao, we had the opportunity to enjoy such a sumptuous meal," Su He and Qi Feng exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Chen Nian nodded in agreement, "Yes, thanks to Su Xiao, she's really helpful!"

Upon hearing this, Su Xiao chuckled, a rare moment of shyness creeping over her.

Meanwhile, Liu Ting and her friends strolled around the beach, collected some trash, and were now sitting under a parasol waiting for their meal.

When the staff brought over five boxed lunches, everyone in Group B was completely bewildered.

"Fine fast food?" Liu Ting asked in surprise.

"Yes, fine dining." The staff member smiled, put down the lunchbox, and ran off in a flash.

"Oh my god, isn't this just the crew's boxed lunch?" Liu Ting said helplessly. She had eaten a lot of these when she was on set, and they were not much different from the crew's boxed lunches.

In the end, the five members of Group B could only sit on the beach and eat their boxed lunches.

Seafood restaurant...

Chen Nian was stuffed and leaned back in his chair, looking quite content. Lately, with all these delicacies on his mind, he had forgotten that he had been eating fast food not long ago.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they sat in the restaurant for a while until they caught a glimpse of the clock on the wall and realized that they didn't seem to have anything to do that afternoon.

As members of the winning team, they don't need to collect beach trash like the others.

Sukh suggested, "Let's go see that rock at the ends of the earth? We haven't seen it yet."

"Agreed!" Xia Yao raised her hand in agreement.

"Yes." Qi Feng raised his hand in agreement upon seeing this.

Immediately afterwards, Su Xiao also raised his hand, and everyone looked at Chen Nian.

"The minority obeys the majority, you don't need to raise your hand," Xia Yao said.

"..." Chen Nian glanced at the time; it was 2 PM. Wouldn't it be better to find a place to have a coffee and read a book at this hour? "Can I do something else?"

"No." The four of them shook their heads in unison.

"What else is there to say? Let's go." Chen Nian shrugged, picked up a piece of salted pineapple, and followed behind the group.

As Xia Yao left the restaurant, she had a map of the resort in her hand.

She flipped it open, glanced at it, then pointed to the other side and said, "Over there, let's go, it's right in the direction where we're fishing."

Such's eyes lit up when he heard about fishing, and he said, "Actually, fishing is not bad!"

"Fishing won't work; we have to go to town to get a fishing rod, which is too much trouble." Xia Yao shook her head slightly. "Although fishing is very interesting, I still want to go see that rock."

"What's so interesting about stones?" Chen Nian asked, puzzled.

"The stones aren't necessarily beautiful, but it's more fun when everyone goes together," Xia Yao corrected.

"Yes, that's right," Su Xiao echoed.

"Wasn't the sound quite loud this time?" Chen Nian, walking beside her, asked in surprise.

Su Xiao was stunned for a moment, her face flushed, and she whispered, "Because there are so many people, they can't hear me."

Soon, the group passed through the fishing area, through a coconut grove, and saw the legendary rock.

In the shady spot not far away, many fireworks were being set up.

"Is this for our fireworks show tonight?" Qi Feng asked in surprise.

"Probably, we have a fireworks show tonight," Su He said, his mind immediately wandering, wondering if he might have a chance to take his relationship with Su Xiao or Xia Yao a step further.

Chen Nian sat down in the shade and watched the four of them examine a large rock. He thought to himself that it was so sunny that only they had the leisure to look at a rock.

He leaned against a coconut tree, a twig he'd somehow gotten his hands on dangling from his mouth, legs crossed, leisurely watching the waves rhythmically lapping against the shore.

A sea breeze blows, carrying a slight warmth.

The afternoon sun, slanting downwards, made the seawater sparkle.

Memories flooded back, and the next moment, Chen Nian tucked the twig he was holding in his mouth into his hand and began to hum softly.

Write to me and tell me what color the sea is today.

"How does the sea feel, accompanying you every night?"

"Gray represents not wanting to talk, blue represents melancholy."

"And you, wandering soul, where will you find rest?"

Write to me and tell me what you want to dream about tonight...

"Listen... to the sound of the sea crying..."

"Cough cough..."

"This song is so hard to sing!" Chen Nian muttered to himself, then took a deep breath. Could it be that he didn't want to sing back then because he wasn't good at singing?

His enthusiasm was suddenly interrupted. Chen Nian got up and stretched, thinking of going to join in the fun, but when he turned his head, he was startled.

"When did you arrive?" Chen Nian asked in surprise.

Su Xiao blinked, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and then said, "Gray means I don't want to talk about it, and blue means I'm melancholy."

"....."

"Blue isn't about melancholy," Chen Nian corrected. "To me, blue represents peace."

"Too much calmness is melancholy, isn't it?" Su Xiao tilted her head slightly, looked at Chen Nian, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "The song you sang just now was very beautiful."

"Yeah, right?" Chen Nian composed himself and said, "I only wrote half of this song; I ran out of inspiration after that. But speaking of which, we're colleagues, right?"

"Yes, that's right." Su Xiao nodded, her expression somewhat puzzled.

Chen Nian squatted down and moved a little closer to Su Xiao. Just as he was about to say something, he noticed that there was a photographer standing nearby. Goodness, he had been there all along.

This photographer is so barely noticeable!

The next moment, he leaned close to Su Xiao and whispered, "How about this, I'll think of a way to perfect this song and then sell it to you, okay?"

"Really?" Su Xiao looked at Chen Nian with wide eyes, completely astonished.

Looking into Su Xiao's big eyes, which revealed a clear childlike innocence, Chen Nian was slightly distracted, but he quickly calmed himself down and said, "Of course it's true, we're colleagues."

"So, tell me, what's the process for buying and selling songs these days? What songs are they, and what's their approximate price?" Chen Nian asked seriously.

"what?"

"Don't you know better than me?" Su Xiao tilted her head slightly, puzzled.

"Ahem! I'm testing you to see what you're really thinking, understand?" Chen Nian said earnestly.

"Oh, I understand." Su Xiao nodded solemnly.
