207: The day after tomorrow night, I'll go to your house
Twenty minutes later, amidst a lively chorus, the second episode of "the adventures" came to an end.
He Xing and Hu Ning stood in the center of the stage, with seven guests standing on either side.
He Xing smiled faintly as he delivered the farewell speech.
"Dear audience friends, thank you for your companionship these past two weeks. Our second episode of 'the adventures' will also draw to a perfect close. In these two weeks, we've traveled from a constantly screaming amusement park to a profound traditional Chinese park, from..."
The two hosts first summarized the two weeks of activities and the evening's gala, then changed the subject.
Hu Ning said with a smile, "Of course, everyone doesn't have to be too sad, because there are still many exciting places waiting for you to discover on our journey of adventures."
He Xing chimed in, "That's right, the wonderful clips from these two weeks of live broadcasts, as well as many interesting recorded scenes from daily life, will all be presented to everyone in the carefully edited version on Kiwi Video."
Hu Ning covered the microphone and raised an eyebrow, "I heard there are many scenes of the guests breaking down in the video."
"Hahaha, Little Xie."
"I want to know if he and Chen Fang fought in private."
"Our Little Xie is a gentleman; he would never fight with Chen Fang."
"If you can't beat him, just say you can't."
"Bai Wenbin also broke down a lot; I feel like he's been cleaning for two weeks (╥﹏╥)"
"Don't end it."
"Yue Qingzhu, can you appear on more variety shows in the future? You seem much cuter on variety shows."
"Release the edited version quickly!"
"Click me! Get three months of Kiwi Fruit membership for free."
"The person upstairs is a liar."
"Finally, thank all the audience friends for their companionship these past two weeks, thank our cultural workers for bringing us performances, and also thank our guests. See you in the edited version and in the third season!"
Ribbons popped out from both sides of the stage, and cheerful music played.
Everyone else waved at the camera, "Goodbye!"
A few seconds later, Director Liu's voice came through the earpiece, "OK, the live broadcast signal has been cut. Everyone has worked hard."
Everyone greeted each other.
Chen Fang and the other guests walked off the stage, waiting for Director Liu to come over.
The live broadcast had ended, but because of the existence of the edited version, their recording work was not yet finished.
Soon, Director Liu walked over quickly, smiling faintly, "Everyone, we still have one last recording session, which will be put into the edited version. Please bear with us a little longer."
Everyone responded, "Director Liu, you're too kind," "It's fine, Director Liu, just tell us," "It's just eating, not tiring."
Director Liu smiled and said, "I told you before that we still need to film a scene of you spending your last night in the villa."
To put it bluntly, this was a small carnival night where everyone would eat and play games together.
After two weeks of tricking each other with task cards, on the last night, they were to reconcile and let bygones be bygones.
Xie Xuanxuan sneered. Let bygones be bygones, my foot!
"Later, everyone should act harmoniously, but don't be too fake. You can continue to joke with each other, tease each other, and even play pranks, but at the very end, don't end with anger. Do you understand what I mean?"
Everyone nodded.
Director Liu, worried that some people hadn't understood, added, "It's like classmates who can have minor squabbles, but when they graduate, they should end on a perfect note. You can start filming; if it doesn't work, we'll rely on post-production."
Chen Fang was the first to agree, "Okay, thank you, Director Liu, we will definitely be harmonious."
Director Liu squinted at the prime suspect, "Those who have removed their makeup can go back first; those who haven't, go to the backstage. The three photographers and the Assistant Director will go back first. It's half past nine now; let's try to gather in the villa lobby by half past ten."
"Okay." "No problem."
Everyone dispersed.
Xie Xuanxuan, Liang Yan, and Bai Wenbin hadn't finished removing their Sichuan Opera Face Changing makeup, so they went backstage to continue removing it.
The remaining four went back to the villa two by two in a car.
Shen Wantang quickly pulled Zhao Jin away, leaving Chen Fang and Yue Qingzhu in one car.
...
The nanny van left the theater and drove towards the villa.
In the seven-seater nanny van, Chen Fang and Song Yu sat in the second row.
Behind them, Yue Qingzhu leaned on He Yuanyuan's shoulder, sitting in the third row, holding a plush puppy hammer, and gently tapping her arm.
After the car drove for a while, Yue Qingzhu sat up, leaned forward, and tapped Chen Fang's arm.
Chen Fang felt a gentle force tapping his arm, "Your hammer is pretty good."
"Right?"
Song Yu, adhering to the spirit of being a good assistant, turned sideways and reached out, just about to say, "Let me do it," when he felt two sharp gazes sweep over him. His hand, suspended in mid-air, continued to rise, and he scratched the back of his head.
Wow, the moon is really bright tonight.
Chen Fang asked, "By the way, is the night after tomorrow okay?"
"Sure, the night after tomorrow I'll go to your place." Yue Qingzhu raised an eyebrow, "You'd better be ready to receive me."
The driver, He Yuanyuan, and Song Yu were all stunned at the same time. In their minds, they simultaneously pictured the dark and windy night at half past nine, breathing softly, not daring to move, only their eyes secretly peeking at the two.
The driver raised a hand to cover his mouth. My goodness, aren't you two being too open?
Song Yu blinked. What the heck?
No, buddy, we agreed to be single until old age. What does that mean? Go to your place tonight? Don't tell me you two live next door and she's just going to drop off some food and come back.
He Yuanyuan's mind froze for a moment, then she quickly tugged at Yue Qingzhu's arm.
Yue Qingzhu's arm was tugged, and she turned her head to see He Yuanyuan's mouth slightly agape, staring at her with wide eyes.
"What's with your expression..." Yue Qingzhu tilted her head in confusion, then after a moment, she realized and her cheeks instantly flushed, "No, I'm just delivering something to him, what are you thinking?!"
He Yuanyuan sighed in relief, "You scared me, I thought you two were having an affair. But if you go at night, won't it be unsafe for you to walk back and forth?"
"It's evening, and what's wrong with going at night? That's my home too."
He Yuanyuan's eyes instantly widened, and her mouth formed a perfect circle.
"No, that's not what I meant. He lives in my house."
He Yuanyuan's jaw almost dropped.
"No... Uncle Pu rented the house to him. We're neighbors."
He Yuanyuan blinked, gradually understanding the situation. Oh, a rental relationship.
Upon hearing this, the driver was stunned for a moment, then realized that these two were just neighbors? He suddenly felt a sense of emptiness.
Had he been overthinking things all these days?
Rather than having no gossip, he'd rather choke to death, sigh.
Chen Fang turned back and said, "I'll be available after 4:30 PM and don't sleep until 11 PM."
"Mm, okay."
