Silent night...

The next morning, Chen Nian woke up and went for a run, only to find Zhou Yu waiting for him in sportswear at the villa next door.

"Let's go together. I'm going for a run today too. I think I've gained a little weight recently," Zhou Yu said, and then started running forward.

Chen Nian paused for a moment, then came to his senses and followed.

"Have I gained weight?" he muttered, and the two of them ran two laps around the resort's roads, one after the other.

When Zhou Yu returned to the villa after completing two laps, he was panting heavily, wiping the sweat from his forehead. He exclaimed in surprise, "It's been a long time since I ran, it's quite tiring."

"You used to run often?" Chen Nian was surprised. He knew that his legs were sore the day after his first three or four kilometers of running. He didn't expect Zhou Yu to keep up with him so easily.

"For a while, I ran on the treadmill every day," Zhou Yu said.

After their run, the two returned to their respective villas.

After Chen Nian finished showering, he went downstairs. Qi Feng had just finished preparing breakfast. After everyone had eaten, they sat down in the living room. Today, they didn't rush to go out and wait for the girls.

After last night's commotion, none of the boys in the villa sent out their tokens of affection.

So, in the last ten minutes or so before the broadcast started, everyone started analyzing again.

"Come on, tell me now, is there anyone who can clearly tell that the other person has feelings for them?" Suhe asked, unusually serious, and then spoke first about his own experience.

"I think Xia Yao has feelings for me, but Li Tian's appearance last night disrupted things."

"....."

"I also think Xia Yao has feelings for me," Li Tian said quietly.

Qi Feng hesitated for a moment before interjecting, "That's strange. Doesn't Xia Yao have feelings for Chen Nian?" He looked puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Chen Nian raised an eyebrow, wondering how he had been dragged into the discussion, and then joined in.

After about ten minutes, the five of them came to a conclusion.

That means that no one can confirm that they have feelings for them right now. If anyone does, it's probably Su Xiao who has feelings for Chen Nian, the kind of feelings of repaying a debt of gratitude.

As we were talking, the show's cameramen arrived.

Seeing that the broadcast had already started, the five of them shut up, got up and went out to the girls' villa.

Today is a free day; there are no tasks assigned.

It took Chen Nian a while to realize what was happening. He wanted to go for a walk by himself, but Liu Ting and the others had already left, so he had to give up.

"Let's go fishing today!" Liu Ting and the others wore hats and looked on with anticipation.

After gathering, the group walked towards the entrance of the resort. After leaving the resort, they arrived at a nearby town led by Xia Yao.

For viewers who were already waiting in the live stream room, many young people in the town were filming them with their phones.

What should have been a ten-minute journey took them more than half an hour to retrieve over a dozen sets of fishing gear from the town's fishing tackle shop.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief once they returned to the resort.

"That's a bit crazy. If we hadn't had staff with us today, they probably would have swarmed us." Xia Yao said in surprise, recalling the scene just now and finding it unbelievable.

Those people didn't seem to be just following the crowd; they appeared to be fans.

"You guys have a lot of fans!"

"Really?" Li Tian chuckled, then said, "Quite a few people are calling your name; you're a celebrity now."

"I'll pass," Xia Yao said modestly. "I'm just a pianist, I don't have many fans."

They walked and talked as they headed toward the fishing area.

Suddenly, a voice called out to Xia Yao.

A photographer approached with a camera and asked, "Ms. Xia Yao, what about what we agreed on yesterday..."

"What's wrong?" Xia Yao was stunned, looking at the photographer in front of her, and then suddenly realized, "Ah, I'm so sorry, I forgot!"

"Everyone, I can't go fishing with you today. I have a task to do." Xia Yao apologized to everyone with a look of regret, and then handed her fishing gear to Liu Ting and the others.

After saying that, she scanned the crowd and finally stopped at Chen Nian at the back. She stepped forward and grabbed his clothes. "Come on, Chen Nian, you'll help out today."

Chen Nian was suddenly pulled by Xia Yao, looking surprised and puzzled. He asked, "What's wrong? I don't remember agreeing to that."

"The mystery reward we talked about during our last meal, you got it for free," Xia Yao said, pulling him along as they left with the photographer.

"No..." Chen Nian frowned as she pulled him along, "A mystery reward?"

His thoughts raced, and in the next moment, he suddenly remembered.

"About the photo shoot?" Chen Nian asked in surprise, "Didn't I say I wasn't going?"

Xia Yao stopped and turned to look at him, smiling as she said, "Really? Of course, I'll fulfill my promise to give you the mysterious reward."

The unexpected turn of events left everyone bewildered.

After the two had walked away with the photographer, Li Tian and Su He came to their senses and asked the people around them, "What mission? What mysterious reward?"

Tang Xi blinked, remembering this incident, but she didn't expect Xia Yao to actually call Chen Nian.

"Uh..." Tang Xi tilted her head, looking hesitant, wondering to herself, "Should I go join the fun?"

"Alright, let's go, let's continue fishing." Liu Ting watched the two figures leave, snapped out of her reverie, clapped her hands, and then everyone continued walking towards the fishing area.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Chen Nian reluctantly followed Xia Yao to the other side of the resort, where there was a small rocky beach surrounded by several coconut trees, and the scenery was quite nice.

"Are you done yet?" Xia Yao's voice came from the other side of the rock.

"They're here." Chen Nian sighed upon hearing this, looked at his brightly colored outfit, and then stepped out from behind the rock.

Xia Yao had also changed her outfit at this time.

She wore a light yellow bikini and black sunglasses clipped to her forehead.

When the two appeared in the same frame, the live stream's popularity surged, with countless comments flooding the screen.

"What's going on?"

"Wow, this is so beautiful! So cool!"

"Wow, this is the first time I've felt something for short hair."

"..."

Chen Nian stood next to Xia Yao and couldn't help but glance at her. "Are you crazy to be so beautiful as an artist?"

"How was it? Not bad, right?" Xia Yao noticed Chen Nian looking at her, a smile playing on her lips, and asked, "Is this considered a mystery reward?"

"..." Chen Nian was speechless for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "I have to admit, I guess so."

At this moment, the photographer turned on his camera and said to the two of them, "Go sit on that slightly lower rock, and then Xia Yao put one hand on Chen Nian's shoulder."

Upon hearing this, Chen Nian smiled awkwardly and then followed the instructions.

The two sat on a rock, instantly becoming a scenic sight. Chen Nian was tense when, in the next moment, Xia Yao crossed her legs, smiled, and suddenly put one hand on his shoulder.

The sudden physical contact made Chen Nian jump and become even more nervous.

"Relax, okay, look at my camera, get ready, three, two, one, then smile." The photographer said with a smile, found a good position, and then started counting down.
