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

Eleven programs...

For viewers in the live stream, deciding which option to choose is not easy, but it's clear that the first place is already in sight.

The collaboration between Liu Ting and Chen Nian is destined to become a classic performance.

What remains is a battle between second and third place.

As votes were cast, the production team watched intently, surrounded by colleagues from other departments.

Gradually, the second and third place teams started to surge ahead.

When everyone saw that it was a dance with "two and a half years of practice" and Wen Jingran's skit, they were surprised but also felt it made sense.

Tonight's singing session featured a closing song, "Later," which made Qi Feng and the others' performance feel a bit less special.

Then, in the dance segment, Tang Xi's classical dance was ethereal and graceful, but not as captivating as Chen Nian's dance. Xia Yao's performance was excellent, but Wen Jingran's skit made many people laugh out loud.

On the internet, memes have always been the easiest thing to spread.

Ultimately, unsurprisingly, by the voting deadline, the top three were "Later," "Two and a half years of practice," and Wen Jingran's skit "How to Learn Dance?"

Fourth place went to Xia Yao's performance, and fifth place to Tang Xi's classical dance.

The housekeeper received the results and then led the staff to the coffee shop.

At the coffee shop, Chen Nian and the others sat in beanbag chairs, leisurely drinking their coffee. Occasionally, someone would exchange a few words, but most of the time it was quiet.

Nobody really wants to talk right now.

Then Li Tian's voice rang out, "Didn't you say there was another token? It won't be like the seashell from last time, will it?"

He started the conversation, and immediately others became interested and joined in.

"Probably not. It's a personal keepsake; it's probably related to our personalities or something, right?"

"So, the question is, who will come in second and third place tonight?"

"..."

"First place should go to Liu Ting and Chen Nian's duet, and second place should go to my street dance," Su He laughed.

"It should be my romance," Li Tian said seriously.

Everyone chimed in with their own opinion, but apart from the first place, there wasn't a single ranking that everyone agreed on.

"Whoever ends up last will be embarrassed!" Everyone fell silent after Xia Yao said that.

"The butler is here!" Li Tian exclaimed in surprise when he saw the figure approaching from not far away. Everyone looked over and sat up straight. They were genuinely nervous now.

Nobody wants to be last.

The butler approached with a smile, holding a list in his hand. He was never one to dawdle when it came to efficiency.

After confirming that all ten guests were present, he slowly said, "The voting results for this cultural performance are in, and I'd like to report them to you."

"First place, then..."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present had already anticipated it and wasn't too surprised. The butler paused, then continued reading:

"Second place, with two and a half years of practice time."

"Third place, how do you learn dance..."

With each name the butler called out, Li Tian and the others were dumbfounded; the second and third names hadn't even been part of their discussion.

Good guy.

"Fourth place, Xia Yao's performance of 'The Waves'."

"Fifth place, Tang Xi's classical dance..."

As the top five appeared, Li Tian and the others looked at each other in confusion. What was going on? Apart from Liu Ting, none of the other singers made it into the top five.

For a moment, Li Tian, ​​Qi Feng, Zhou Yu, and Su Xiao were all a bit confused.

Liu Ting was also dumbfounded...

Aside from her later performances, she also sang one song herself, but she didn't even make it into the top five. The audience didn't give her any face at all.

"Sixth place, Qi Feng... Seventh place, Li Tian..."

"Eighth place, Zhou Yu... Ninth place, Su Xiao..."

"Tenth place... Liu Ting!"

When the housekeeper finished announcing the last person, Liu Ting almost spat out the coffee in her mouth.

"No, I'm in first place, and I'm also in tenth place?" Liu Ting asked in astonishment.

"Yes," the butler replied with a slight smile.

"Pfft, it's all thanks to Chen Nian asking you to sing a duet. Looks like he had foresight!" Zhou Yu said quietly from the side.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ting's eyebrows shot up, clearly unconvinced.

However, after confirming with the housekeeper repeatedly, and when the housekeeper presented the specific number of votes, she was speechless.

"Oh, a million votes short? No big deal." Tang Xi stepped forward, glanced at the document, and nodded slightly.

Liu Ting looked dejected. Winning first place was meaningless. Just as Zhou Yu said, if Chen Nian hadn't asked her to sing a duet, she would have been at the bottom.

The butler gave everyone a few minutes to catch their breath before explaining the rewards, which would be distributed in the third phase.

"Now, next up are your personalized keepsakes, which are customized based on the hobbies you filled in when you registered," the butler said.

The next moment, two staff members behind him distributed ten gift boxes containing tokens to everyone.

Chen Nian took the gift box, wondering what hobbies he had filled in.

It seems he only filled in his name on the contract; Lin Ran probably filled in everything else for him.

Everyone received their gift boxes and began to unpack them.

Seeing this, Chen Nian also opened his gift box. Upon opening the box, he was greeted by an animal doll.

"Well?"

"Honey badger?" Su Xiao, sitting next to him, recognized the animal plushie at a glance and was stunned. Did he like honey badger?

"..." Chen Nian didn't know if he liked honey badgers or not, but he was certain that he wouldn't list an animal as one of his hobbies.

At this point, the others also opened their respective tokens, including a collection of tabs, a uniquely designed necklace, a small musical instrument model, and so on.

Then, everyone looked left and right, and became curious when they saw other people's keepsakes.

"Um?"

"What kind of animal are you, Chen Nian?"

"Looks blank."

Several girls looked at the old keepsake with curiosity.

Upon hearing this, Chen Nian said, "The honey badger, an African animal, is incredibly stubborn; if it doesn't submit, it'll fight!"

"..."

"I can't tell!"

"Did the production team make a mistake? Isn't it supposed to be a sloth?"

Upon hearing the word "sloth," Chen Nian smiled helplessly. In that case, the honey badger was even better.

Sloths are lazy all year round because the leaves they eat are poisonous; to put it bluntly, they're drug-addicted animals.

After everyone had opened their tokens, the butler announced, "The exchange of tokens can begin tonight and will end before the broadcast ends tomorrow night."

"Also, tomorrow is a free day, and you can visit the nearby towns."

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd cheered.

"Yay! Let's go fishing tomorrow, Chen Nian!" Xia Yao was itching to go fishing again as soon as she heard that she could go out.

"Let's go fishing together!" Sukhe quickly chimed in.

Everyone was bustling around, seemingly forgetting about exchanging tokens. However, once the butler left and everyone returned to their respective villas, their minds were immediately on the topic.
