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

Chen Nianren felt a bit numb; his colleague was after him tonight, determined to kill him.

But then, they chase after you with an innocent look on their face, and when you turn around to take revenge, they're all smiles. How can you bring yourself to do it?

However, Chen Nian did have some recollection of it.

He remembered that someone had talked about this before, but not with him; they were talking to each other. He heard his name mentioned when he passed by, which made him curious.

As for why no one had told him about this, Chen Nian sighed helplessly.

Since joining Xinghe, he has almost always worked alone, burying himself in songwriting and ignoring everything else. He can count the number of times he has attended the creative department's dinner parties on one hand.

Moreover, the few times he went were all because Lin Ran insisted that he go.

"Su Xiao gets one point!"

As the butler's voice rang out, it meant that Su Xiao had scored a point, and the embarrassing incident was over.

However, everyone's gazes turned and fell on Chen Nian.

"You..." Liu Ting wanted to say something, but helplessly, she could only pat his shoulder and say, "If no one talks to you in the future, you can send me a message, and I will reply when I see it."

"It's like killing someone by destroying their spirit!" Zhou Yu said quietly.

"Huh?" Su Xiao looked at everyone in confusion, feeling a little out of touch with the current situation.

Soon, the game resumed.

Since no one could accumulate three points in the first round, everyone was more motivated and engaged in this round.

In this round, Chen Nian once again picked his blind spot.

Surprisingly, this question had two points, and seeing this, he decided to take those two points.

"It's still about breaking down words into song lyrics," Chen Nian said.

This time, to be on the safe side, he already had a plan, and he was silently singing that song in his mind.

Unfortunately, there's no way around it; if he doesn't sing some songs from the beginning, he won't be able to remember them, and he'll lose the rhythm.

Seeing him muttering to himself, Liu Ting exclaimed in surprise, "This guy, is he going to write lyrics on the spot again? Doesn't he sing any of his existing songs?"

"Creators can be capricious!" Li Tian chimed in.

"But come to think of it, it's a bit shameless for a composer to just throw out a line and call it lyrics, isn't it?" Zhou Yu pondered.

However, there is actually a limit to what you sing: it has to have a form and a melody.

Otherwise, what's the difference between being tone-deaf and just reciting words?

"here we go!"

Chen Nian suddenly spoke, having just silently recited this line in his mind, and then sang it aloud: "How could it be? My heart's secrets are like embroidered shoes, each stitch a lament. If the flower resents the butterfly, who will you resent..."

As Chen Nian sang, he sat up straight, controlling his breath and avoiding cracking his voice.

This setup looks quite professional.

After he finished singing, everyone present was stunned for a few seconds. Then, Tang Xi, who was following his lead, said, "It is a bit difficult, but aren't there some very simple words too?"

"Who keeps their secrets hidden all night..." Tang Xi sang, thus answering the question.

Immediately afterward, Qi Feng, who was standing next to her, added, "The night is as dark as ink, and I'm still thinking of you..."

Qi Feng's successor, Zhou Yu, continued with a relaxed expression.

Before long, they returned to Liu Ting's location.

Liu Ting shrugged, took the lyrics from Su He, and sang them.

Nine people, all passed!

Chen Nian looked utterly bewildered, realizing that all his mental chanting had turned out to be for nothing.

"Failed to age!"

The butler's voice rang out.

Then, the second round began. In this round, Liu Ting and Su He each took a sewing kit and immediately opened it to see what was inside.

Liu Ting drew a beach motorcycle, while Su He drew a mud spa. This novel spa piqued his interest, especially since he could bring a companion along.

Everyone's eyes widened when they saw the two rewards.

As a result, the pace quickened considerably in the following rounds, until Xia Yao took the last sewing kit, thus ending the evening's activities.

At this point, there were less than ten minutes left until 10 o'clock.

Everyone was checking their spoils. Liu Ting took two, Xia Yao took two, and Su Xiao also took two, which surprised everyone.

Then, among the remaining people, Su He, Zhou Yu, Li Tian, ​​and others each took one.

Those who were disappointed included Chen Nian, Tang Xi, and Qi Feng.

The three looked at each other, covering their foreheads, the worst part being that they still got zero points.

"So, the three guests who didn't get their itineraries, please go shopping at the nearby market with the resort staff tomorrow. The day after tomorrow evening, we will hold an event at the beach square, where residents from the nearby town will come to watch."

"This event offers extremely generous rewards, and the winning team will receive a super gift package," the butler said mysteriously.

"Something big is about to happen!"

Everyone was very curious upon hearing this, but no matter how they asked, they couldn't get any more information from the butler.

After the housekeeper left, the filming ended shortly afterward. The staff began to clean up the set, and everyone got up and headed back towards the villa.

The bright moon still shines overhead.

On the way, everyone chatted about the games they had just played. Liu Ting, reflecting on the evening's events, exclaimed in surprise, "Chen Nian, didn't you realize you're quite good at writing lyrics?"

When she said this, the others were stunned for a moment, and then they all nodded.

"Yes, tonight, the two lines you sang were absolutely perfect. That 'Chrysanthemum withers' line, although the imagery is a bit cruel, is indeed a good line."

"And what's that last line again?" Xia Yao asked, recalling Chen Nian's lyrics from the second round: "If the flower resents the butterfly, who will you resent?"

"It's so evocative!" Xia Yao exclaimed.

"What's the use of being able to write a single line? A song isn't made up of just one line of lyrics," Chen Nian said calmly, yawning. He was sleepy as soon as it was time to sleep; the weather was perfect for sleeping.

"So you should try writing lyrics!" Liu Ting suggested. Although she said that, she was also very curious, as the two songs Chen Nian was currently playing and singing were also very impressive.

"You're a bit strange," she muttered.

"Huh? No way." Chen Nian was startled when he heard that.

"I have a feeling this isn't simple," Liu Ting said.

"..."

Chen Nian didn't reply to her. Instead, he looked away and was drawn to the still-open coffee shop. He decided to come over for a coffee after he finished showering.

Before long, everyone returned to the villa entrance and parted ways.

Of the ten sewing kits we received today, many of them were designed to accommodate people, but unfortunately, Chen Nian, Tang Xi, and Qi Feng didn't get any.

Therefore, the others could only discuss with each other how to share, leaving the three of them behind.

Chen Nian went back to his room, took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and then went downstairs. Seeing that everyone else had gone back to their rooms, he had originally planned to find someone to go for a coffee with, but now he had no choice but to go by himself.

"Where to?"

Just as he stepped out of the villa and was about to leave, he heard Tang Xi's voice behind him.
