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

Xia Yao and Tang Xi were stunned for a moment, then rolled their eyes at him, but the next moment, they both had faint smiles on their faces.

"Yeah, I'm hungry too. I played a lot of things with Su Xiao today and didn't eat much," Xia Yao said, getting up and following her.

"Um?"

"Didn't Qi Feng come looking for you?" Tang Xi asked.

"Oh, I looked for it, but then I don't know where it went." Xia Yao sat down, looking at the still steaming steak, her appetite greatly increased.

Meanwhile, Chen Nian, standing to the side, was already chewing on his steak.

Hearing the two women talking about Qi Feng, Chen Nian, still chewing something, muttered, "What about Su Xiao? Wasn't she with you?"

"Su Xiao?" Xia Yao thought for a moment and said, "She was called away by Liu Ting and Zhou Yu, who said they were going to a karaoke bar. I guess Li Tian and Qi Feng went with her too."

"Oh, oh." Chen Nian nodded slightly, and before he had finished chewing what was in his mouth, he had already picked up another piece with his fork.

Seeing this, Tang Xi said helplessly, "Nobody's going to take it from you, really."

"You really have a talent for eating this. Have you gained a little weight?" Tang Xi said, carefully examining Chen Nian and noticing that he had indeed gained some weight.

When they first met, she thought Chen Nian was thin and lacked energy.

After a few days of eating and drinking, my energy and spirits improved, and even my weight increased.

Upon hearing this, Chen Nian chuckled, swallowed the steak, and said, "That's right. I weighed it at the market today, and it's already reached 136 jin."

"I've gained almost seven pounds."

"Sure, sure, then eat more. You look like you don't eat much normally," Tang Xi said.

"..." Chen Nian nodded repeatedly. He was either writing songs or on his way to write songs. What kind of meal was he eating?

With my meager monthly salary, rent and utilities account for a portion, and the cost of renting the recording studio takes up another third of the money.

The remaining third is for food and drink expenses.

Xia Yao gracefully peeled a crayfish, then asked Tang Xi curiously, "Did you have fun shopping today?"

"Hmm, that's very interesting. Let me tell you..." Tang Xi got excited as soon as she brought it up and told Xia Yao about the shopping process that day in detail.

The two found themselves inexplicably compatible in these matters, and the entire meal consisted almost entirely of their daily experiences being shared.

Chen Nian was stunned. These two were definitely the type who were very organized when it came to managing their household.

However, when women start chatting, they really can ignore the concept of time.

He had already finished eating and was quietly enjoying his dessert. Xia Yao and Tang Xi finished their steaks, peeled a few crayfish, and then they were almost done.

"Are you full?" Chen Nian couldn't help but ask.

"I'm full. I've eaten quite a lot already. Each of these crayfish has a lot of meat," Xia Yao said, wiping her mouth with a napkin and then drinking the juice next to her.

The lights on the pavilion have already been turned on, and stars can be faintly seen scattered overhead.

Chen Nian got up and went to the railing. Looking at the surging sea below, he felt a little scared. Watching the sea at night was not a romantic thing in his eyes.

At this moment, Tang Xi brought up the song that Chen Nian had just played.

"Chen Nian, what was the name of your song again?"

"Dusk," Chen Nian replied.

"Oh, that's quite fitting." Tang Xi nodded slightly, then asked Xia Yao beside her, "What do you think about me and Liu Ting trying something different, like we did?"

"I don't think it's a good idea. You should change your roles first. You've played too many urban heroines," Xia Yao said.

She had read Tang Xi's works, and she had also read Liu Ting's works.

She had even listened to songs by Su Xiao and Zhou Yu.

Although she is a pianist, she also loves music, movies, and even idolizes celebrities.

Upon hearing that she wanted to cross over into another field, Chen Nian asked curiously, "What kind of preparation is needed for crossing over? Can't you just have someone write a song for you and release it directly?"

"Yes!" Tang Xi blinked. She felt that Chen Nian's words were more convincing than Xia Yao's. "Then, would I be suitable to sing your song 'Twilight'?"

"It's somewhat suitable," Chen Nian said after thinking for a moment, because Tang Xi's voice was somewhat like the mature, older sister voice they were talking about.

But if this song is completed and really wants to be sold, it would naturally be more appropriate to sell it to a male singer.

Some songs are naturally suited to male or female voices.

"That's not really suitable. Never mind, just write me a song that suits me, and I'll be your first collaborating singer," Tang Xi said seriously.

"..."

"Then I should thank you," Chen Nian said quietly.

"You're welcome," Tang Xi said with a slight smile.

The three of them sat in the restaurant for a while before getting up to leave. By the time they stepped outside, it was completely dark.

The photographer next to me has been replaced.

Chen Nian glanced in the direction of the villa and then asked, "Now let's talk about the mysterious reward you mentioned earlier. What is it?" He looked at the two of them curiously.

Xia Yao was starting to regret it, looking hesitant.

The next moment, she handed the video game voucher to Chen Nian, "Actually, there isn't any, just this video game voucher."

Chen Nian took the coupon, a little confused, and looked at Tang Xi beside him.

Tang Xi stuck out her tongue and said, "Yes, there is a real mystery reward, hehe."

As she was about to speak, Xia Yao quickly stepped forward and covered her mouth to stop her from saying anything, saying, "If you say it, you have to come with me."

"..." Tang Xi's eyes widened upon hearing this, and she shook her head repeatedly.

"That's more like it." Xia Yao rolled her eyes at her and then let go of her hand.

The next moment, Tang Xi quickly ran behind Chen Nian and whispered in his ear, "Actually, Xia Yao also has a beach photoshoot. Congratulations on becoming her photoshoot partner!"

"Remember to save me a spot in the arcade!" With that, Tang Xi dashed off and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

"..."

The scene was deathly silent.

Xia Yao rubbed her forehead and said, "Don't listen to her nonsense, there's no such thing."

However, Chen Nian did not show the excitement she had expected. After hearing that it was a photo shoot, she looked speechless and said, "I thought it was some kind of amazing reward. I'm not interested in a photo shoot."

"Luckily, I managed to get a game pass..." Chen Nian muttered to himself, taking the pass and turning to leave.

A moment later, Xia Yao's angry voice came from behind.

"You better be serious, you just wait and see!"

"I'm going to have you as my partner, I don't believe you can't be interested!" Xia Yao said angrily, watching the figure that had already walked away.

When Chen Nian passed by the beach, he discovered that a stage frame had already been erected there.

Meanwhile, the resort's operations center has officially completed the production of posters for its 10th anniversary cultural performance.

The poster is particularly eye-catching, with the ten guests of "Heartbeat" positioned in the center.

The time was set for Saturday night.
