I was slacking off on a dating reality show when the female guests treated me like a treasure chest.
Chapter 63 Shopping Trip
Soon, the three met at the door.
Upon hearing that she needed to make some purchases, Tang Xi hesitated for a while before finally choosing a simple outfit: light-colored jeans, a sheer long-sleeved top, and a straw hat.
Chen Nian couldn't help but look at the straw hat on her head; it looked a bit like an old friend.
"What's wrong? Do you want one too?" Tang Xi asked curiously when she saw him staring at her hat.
"Really?" Upon hearing this, Chen Nian really wanted one.
"No, I borrowed this hat from a staff member," Tang Xi said quietly.
"..."
The three waited at the entrance for a while. Soon after, a resort employee came over with a smile and asked, "We'll need two cars to go out later. Does anyone here know how to drive?"
"There shouldn't be any problems, right?" Qi Feng said.
"Um, I didn't explain clearly. The vehicle isn't small; it's a pickup truck with a cargo bed. Do you know how to drive one?" As he spoke, he pointed to two white pickup trucks parked not far away.
Qi Feng and Tang Xi looked over upon hearing this and saw that it was a vehicle similar to a small truck, and immediately shook their heads.
"I've never driven one before, I wouldn't dare!" Tang Xi said. Although she could drive, she didn't really dare to drive this kind of car.
"I can't either." Qi Feng shook his head, although he felt he should be fine.
"Okay, then I'll ask someone else to come and open it." The staff member nodded and then prepared to leave.
Chen Nian paused, then asked in surprise, "Why didn't you ask me?"
"Oh?"
"Does this handsome guy know how to drive?" Upon hearing this, the staff member turned around and looked at Chen Nian.
"Okay, I'll drive one." Chen Nian nodded. He hadn't driven in a long time; he used to drive this kind of vehicle for a while to deliver goods.
"You're really good at this!" Tang Xi exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, I worked as a deliveryman after that." Chen Nian nodded. He wasn't lying; he really did work as a deliveryman for a few months.
"Amazing!" Tang Xi exclaimed in admiration.
Chen Nian smiled helplessly. Did she mean he was good at driving, or that he was good at delivering goods?
The three then followed the staff to the pickup truck.
"By the way, my name is Xiao He, and I'm in charge of today's purchasing. We need to buy quite a lot of things today, so I've prepared a list for you."
As he spoke, staff member Xiao He took a purchase order from the car and handed it to Tang Xi.
"You just need to go and buy it. You don't need to go to the designated store. We will settle the payment with them later." Xiao He explained some precautions to Tang Xi.
Tang Xi listened attentively, nodding occasionally.
While she was talking to Xiao He, Chen Nian had already taken the keys and sat in the driver's seat. He familiarized himself with the gear shift buttons and other controls, and then started the car.
"Um, now there's a problem."
"We might need one of us to sit in the back," Chen Nian said quietly, glancing at Qi Feng beside him.
Qi Feng was stunned, not understanding why.
"How about you let Tang Xi sit on your lap?" Chen Nian said seriously.
"Oh no, no way!" Qi Feng finally realized that it was a two-seater. "Then I'll go to the other car!"
Xiao He had just finished talking to Tang Xi when he heard that Qi Feng was going to his place. He smiled sheepishly and said, "Well, there's a photographer sitting over there."
"..."
"I'll lend you my hat, but be careful." Tang Xi walked over with a smile, took off her hat and gave it to Qi Feng, then got into the car and sat down.
Qi Feng was silent for a moment, then said, "Actually, I can drive too."
"....."
"You can drive now, but I wouldn't dare let you drive," Chen Nian said, then glanced back to indicate that he could get in the car.
Seeing this, Qi Feng walked to the back of the car with a dark face and climbed up.
From the photographer's perspective, Qi Feng was squatting in the back seat, gripping the sides of the carriage with both hands, looking utterly hopeless.
"Let's get ready to go. Just follow my car, it's about a ten-minute drive," Xiao He said, then got into his car and started it a short while later.
As the car in front started moving, Chen Nian stepped on the gas and followed.
Seeing this, the others suddenly felt that their trial vouchers weren't so appealing anymore.
"I wish I had gone too, shopping would have been more fun!" Xia Yao muttered.
"I want to go too!" Su Xiao whispered. The two of them were going to experience jet skiing together today.
At this moment, the others who remained at the resort started to move, while Chen Nian had already followed Xiao He onto the main road.
Tang Xi opened the car window, rested one hand on it, and let the wind blow through her hair.
"Ah, this weather is so nice!"
She gazed at the distant coastline, where the water and sky were clear and blue, feeling quite content.
Chen Nian glanced at her and nodded slightly. "It is indeed a nice day, but have you never been to Nan Province for vacation before?" he asked curiously.
For celebrities, going on vacation should be a simple matter.
"No, I haven't been to many places. I spend most of my time filming," Tang Xi replied.
"Oh, so you've filmed so many movies, have you ever played the female lead?" Chen Nian suddenly asked.
Upon hearing this, Tang Xi raised an eyebrow, glanced at him, and said, "Of course, I'm almost always the female lead, but web dramas can't really be shown on Yatang, so they haven't been very popular in recent years."
In fact, to outsiders, her participation in Heartbeat Beat seems more like a publicity stunt.
Over the years, her agent has tried many methods, but no director has ever given her a leading role in a serious drama. In fact, many directors have been subtly hinting at things to her.
He would either invite her out for dinner and drinks or to karaoke.
"Sigh!" Tang Xi couldn't help but sigh when she thought about these things. In this industry, sometimes people don't necessarily want you to sell your body, but they do want you to sell your image.
"Take it slow," Chen Nian said calmly.
"Yes, let's take it slow!" Tang Xi nodded, then looked out the window at the receding scenery with boredom.
For a moment, everyone forgot that there was someone in the back of the car.
At this moment, Qi Feng was squatting on the carriage, swaying and struggling.
Fortunately, ten minutes pass quickly.
As the car turned onto a side road, a few minutes later, the two entered the nearby town center.
A few minutes later, the car in front drove into a nearby parking lot and stopped.
Chen Nian found a spot to park the car, then turned off the engine, closed the windows, and got out. As soon as he got out, he looked at the large comprehensive market next to him.
"It's quite big!" he exclaimed, somewhat surprised, having expected a small market.
Tang Xi tidied her hair, got out of the car, and then remembered that Qi Feng was still behind her. She quickly went over to check on him and asked, "Are you alright?"
"N-nothing!" Qi Feng shook his head and carefully climbed out of the car. He felt that he would throw up in a little while.
At this moment, Xiao He and the photographer walked over.
"Then I'll go and purchase my order first. You can handle this one," Xiao He said.
"Okay, sure." Tang Xi nodded, holding a purchase order in her hand.
Chen Nian, Tang Xi, and Qi Feng paused for a moment before the three of them led the photographer toward the market entrance.
Tang Xi glanced at the shopping list in her hand and said, "Then, let's buy fruit first; we need almost all the seasonal fruits."
"Is this food for us?" Chen Nian asked in surprise.
"It shouldn't be," Tang Xi shook her head.
