As the song ended, the lingering notes of the guitar seemed to still echo across the grassland under the night sky.

Then, applause and cheers erupted from the audience.

Lu Ci released his hands from the strings, picked up the microphone from the ground, stood up, and said, "Thank you everyone."

Tian Weiwei, who was sitting to the side, kept staring blankly at Lu Ci.

It wasn't until the cheers of the audience snapped her out of her daze. She stood up a beat late, flashed a sweet smile at the crowd, and bowed slightly: "Thank you everyone!"

Director Wang picked up the megaphone, stood up from behind the monitor, and looked around at the almost entirely lit flashlights.

The original plan was for viewers to vote using flashlights to determine the amount of ingredients to be used for dinner.

Lu Ci sang so well, and it perfectly matched the atmosphere of the grassland bonfire party.

Almost everyone at the scene turned on their phone flashlights.

Director Wang smiled helplessly and raised the megaphone: "It seems... we don't need to count the votes anymore."

Chen He then shrugged and took a few steps forward: "Isn't this cheating? We're asking the audience to form teams, but we've brought in professional singers. How are we supposed to play?"

Wang Mian walked over, smiling, and grabbed Chen He's arm: "Brother He, when it comes to releasing songs, you've released the most singles here. How can you say you're not a professional singer?"

Upon hearing this, Chen He smoothly turned his head and returned to the group as if nothing had happened...

This scene immediately drew laughter from the surrounding audience.

Deng Chao, holding a thermos, looked at the production team and said, "If I remember correctly, the rule was that the food exchange would be based on the team with the highest number of votes. That means even though we don't have as many votes as Xiao Tian's team, we can still get to eat, right?"

Director Wang announced into the loudspeaker: "That's right, but given how far ahead we are now, you don't need to be picky anymore. You can use all the ingredients the production team has prepared."

Chen He walked towards Tian Weiwei and Lu Ci, then turned to the other members and said, "The people we should thank most tonight are Xiao Tian and this friend!"

Upon hearing the commotion, everyone rushed forward and enthusiastically high-fived Lu Ci and his companion.

Tian Weiwei listened to her seniors' words and smiled happily.

I recorded all day today, and now I finally have a standout performance.

Although... the performance just now didn't really have much to do with me; I was just like a microphone stand...

But then I thought, after all, it was I who chose him from among so many people, and that's why things came to this...

Thinking of this, Tian Weiwei smiled and turned her head to look at Lu Ci.

With the game segment over, tonight's filming also came to an end.

The staff began packing up the equipment.

Deng Chao walked up to Lu Ci, extended his hand and shook it: "You sing so well. Are you staying here in the scenic area tonight?"

Lu Ci nodded: "Yes, in the Starry Sky Villa area of ​​the scenic spot."

"What a coincidence! Our crew is staying there tonight too." Deng Chao's eyes lit up, and he extended a warm invitation: "If it's convenient, why don't you bring your friends over for a late-night snack later?"

In Lu Ci's view, most people in the entertainment industry are very shrewd and diplomatic, and such casual invitations are often just polite formalities.

Therefore, Lu Ci did not take it seriously and responded politely.

At this point, the scene began to become somewhat chaotic.

As the cameras were turned off, many tourists rushed forward, wanting to take photos and get autographs.

Lu Ci withdrew from the crowd and silently walked towards Shen Nian.

After taking only a few steps, Shen Nian greeted him with eyes full of admiration.

A bright smile graced her face as she naturally reached out and hugged Lu Ci's arm: "Brother Lu, you're amazing!"

Seeing her beaming with pride, Lu Ci raised his hand, ruffled her hair, and deliberately put on a stern face to tease her:

"Don't let me steal the spotlight anymore, or I'll easily get cyberbullied."

Shen Nian was taken aback at first, but quickly understood the implications of his words.

Her smile vanished instantly, and she apologized softly, "I'm sorry, Brother Lu... I didn't think that much at the time."

Seeing that she was serious, Lu Ci chuckled and pinched her soft cheek: "Since you made a mistake... how do you plan to make it up to me?"

"Compensation...?"

Shen Nian was stunned for a moment, looking at the faint smirk on Lu Ci's lips, and suddenly felt like she had been tricked.

But instead of thinking about it too much, she began to ponder it seriously, her big eyes blinking as she looked at him: "Then... Brother Lu, what kind of compensation do you want?"

"Well... I'll put it on the tab for now and we'll talk about it later."

After Lu Ci finished speaking, he looked up at the night sky and said, "Let's go back. It looks like it's going to rain."

the other side.

Tian Weiwei was surrounded by a group of enthusiastic tourists. She patiently bowed her head and signed her name on each of the photos handed to her.

Halfway through signing in, she suddenly realized that she hadn't even had a chance to formally say "thank you" to that guy yet!

She quickly raised her eyes and looked at the spot where Lu Ci had just been standing.

However, the other person had long since disappeared from the scene.

"Weiwei, could you sign this for me?"

A fan's excited voice pulled her back to reality, and she put on her sweet smile again: "Ah... okay, I'll sign here, right?"

When the two drove back to the Starry Sky Villa, the sky outside was completely covered by thick dark clouds, obscuring the stars.

The wind on the grassland picked up, carrying a damp scent that seemed to foreshadow a mountain rain.

Shen Nian was a little hungry and prepared to take out her phone to scan the QR code and order some late-night snacks.

However, just as she had selected a few items and was about to click to pay, a "System Apology" message popped up on the screen, indicating that the restaurant was currently not accepting orders.

Before Shen Nian could figure out what was going on, the landline in the villa's living room suddenly rang.

Shen Nian ran over and answered the phone.

It was a call from a staff member of the scenic area.

The other party was sincere and explained that the visitor flow to the scenic spot was far greater than expected because the program crew was recording without a record today.

The kitchen has been busy since the afternoon, and there are simply too many backlogged orders to complete. We are unable to provide delivery services to the VIPs in the villa area.

To express their apology, the staff promised that, as compensation, all rides and attractions within the scenic area would be free to use tomorrow.

Hearing the other person's troubled tone, Shen Nian did not press the matter further.

He politely said "It's okay" to the person on the other end of the phone before hanging up.

Lu Ci took a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator, unscrewed it, and took a sip.

He glanced at the refrigerator and saw that there were still leftovers from yesterday.

"Are you hungry?" Lu Ci turned to look at Shen Nian, who seemed a little disappointed. "Since we can't order anything, how about I heat up the leftovers from yesterday and we just grab something to eat?"

Shen Nian wasn't a picky eater to begin with, and she was happy to eat anything as long as she could eat with Lu Ci. She immediately nodded obediently, "Okay!"

Lu Ci was just about to take the lunchbox out of the refrigerator.

The doorbell rang suddenly.

Shen Nian went over and opened the door.

Standing outside the door was a young woman.

Upon seeing a pretty young woman open the door, the girl was taken aback at first, then politely inquired, "Hello, I'm so sorry to bother you so late. I'm a staff member from the 'Five Ha' program... Excuse me, does the gentleman who performed the guitar and song at the end of the bonfire party live here?"

Shen Nian blinked, turned her head, and called out towards the kitchen, "Brother Lu, someone's looking for you."

Lu Ci closed the refrigerator door and walked over with a puzzled look: "Hello."

The female director's eyes lit up the moment she saw Lu Ci.

She had been searching in this villa area for quite a while, and finally found the person in question!

"Hello," the girl politely explained her purpose: "It's like this, Teacher Deng Chao originally wanted to add your contact information after the recording was finished."

He mentioned to you that he wanted to invite you to dinner. But there were so many fans at the scene, it was so chaotic, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The girl smiled and continued, "Brother Chao remembers you said you also live in the Starry Sky Villa District, so you specially sent me to find you."
