208: How could the last night be Christmas Eve?

Ten minutes later, the two got out of the car.

As soon as they stepped out, another car pulled up to the entrance, and Shen Wantang and Zhao Jin got out.

The four of them walked into the villa together.

Several insulated boxes were placed on the coffee table in the living room, and several staff members had already set up cameras.

The Assistant Director walked over, "We can start filming now. If anyone wants to get cutlery or decorations, or if you want to cook some extra food, you can do so first."

Yue Qingzhu asked, "Is the recording starting now?"

"Yes, any fun parts will be edited in."

Zhao Jin asked the Assistant Director, "Can I order ice cream delivery? It seems very close and will arrive quickly. I still have over 100 in savings unspent, enough to treat seven people."

"You can."

"I'll go get the plates. As for the insulated boxes, let's open them once everyone arrives." Yue Qingzhu walked towards the kitchen.

"Wait a moment, three of you." The Assistant Director said with a smile.

The three stopped and looked back.

The Assistant Director smiled faintly, "All three of you are affected by the transformation cards, please change into your costumes as soon as possible."

Shen Wantang, holding Yue Qingzhu's arm, stubbornly struggled, "We haven't showered yet, we're all sweaty after a day of exhaustion, how can we change into pajamas?"

The Assistant Director waved his hand at the staff nearby, "We're ready. We have three clean sets here, you can wear these first. You can wash up and change into your own pajamas after the show is recorded."

The three of them simultaneously scowled, then reluctantly returned to their respective rooms.

As Chen Fang walked in, he saw a note from Xie Yunxuan plastered on the wall: "Brother Frog, open the window but not the screen window, otherwise I'll burn mosquito coils all night, and neither of us will have a good time. Also, my contract with Guangying is up, I'm going to Shibei Sea. From now on, our companies will be on par, so don't even think about using public opinion to tarnish my good name!"

Brother Frog? And threatening him?

Chen Fang held the Prince Frog costume, a cold sneer in his heart.

Threatening him with mosquito coils, huh? In this domain, his authority was unshakeable!

Chen Fang opened a drawer, took out a copy of "The Red Dress," tossed it into the bathroom sink, turned on the faucet, filled the sink halfway with water, and then returned to change into the Prince Frog costume.

Twenty minutes later.

In the living room, plush mats were already laid out near the coffee table, and five or six boxes of game cards were on the long sofa. After all, it was ten o'clock, so people wouldn't eat much; they would likely play games later.

As Chen Fang sat down with his ice cream, footsteps sounded at the door, and the other three boys returned.

Bai Wenbin said while changing his shoes, "We're going to put things away and wash our hands, just a moment!" With that, he quickly entered the bedroom. Liang Yan followed closely behind.

Xie Yunxuan, however, walked to the coffee table first, "Oh my, how do all of you have ice cream?"

Zhao Jin pointed to the kitchen, "It's in the fridge. My treat."

"Thank you, rich lady." Xie Yunxuan first went to the public restroom to wash his hands, then got a serving of ice cream and walked towards the bedroom.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, Xiaobai and Liang Yan returned to the living room, sat down, and joined the complaint session about the program team's manipulative task cards.

Shen Wantang threw out two task cards, "Chen Fang, Xiaobai, you two do the dishes tonight."

Bai Wenbin pulled out a dorm lights-out card, "Alright, Teacher Shen, your bedroom is forbidden to turn on the lights tonight."

Zhao Jin frowned slightly, "No, Tangtang gave you a task, why are you dragging others into it? Look, did Chen Fang say anything?"

Chen Fang pulled out a "Library Mute Card," "From the moment the three of you enter your bedroom, the female dorm is muted for one hour."

"Chen Fang!" Zhao Jin slapped the table in anger. Today was the last night! On the last night, not only would the lights be off in their room, but they would also be muted, not allowed to gossip. This was going to suffocate them!

"Relax," Yue Qingzhu calmly ate her ice cream, "The cards are only effective during the program team's working hours. If we go back after 12 o'clock, these cards will have no effect."

"Oh, right." Zhao Jin suddenly understood, and scoffed, "It's the last day, and you're still trying to scheme. Who's so foolish as to fall for your schemes?"

As soon as her voice fell, a pig-like shriek came from the eastern bedroom.

"Ah—! Oh my god!"

Everyone in the living room was startled and stood up one after another.

The cameraman also quickly followed.

Before they could enter, they saw Xie Yunxuan, his cheeks flushed, carrying a dripping book, walking out in a rage, "Chen Fang!"

In his hand was a faded, water-soaked book. The black and red on the cover had bled, but the words "The Red Dress" were still clearly visible.

Everyone looked at Chen Fang in unison.

Chen Fang blinked innocently, "What?"

Xie Yunxuan held up the book in his hand, gritting his teeth, "You f*cking put this thing on my desk, and you ask me what?"

"Oh my." Bai Wenbin couldn't help but take half a step back. The scene of being frightened on Tuesday morning flashed in his mind.

He praised inwardly, "Well done." Who told Xie Yunxuan to throw ghost stories around, scaring him so much that he saw that thing floating in the pool right after waking up on Tuesday morning, and even fell.

Xie Yunxuan took two steps forward, staring at Chen Fang, "Don't try to deny it, I saw you reading this novel on Tuesday night, this book is yours!"

Yue Qingzhu pursed her lips. She wanted to laugh, but also felt a little embarrassed. This was her bad idea, it seemed to have put Chen Fang in a tough spot, should she step forward?

However, the next moment, she heard a sentence that almost shattered her morality.

"Yes, it's mine. Why did you throw my book in the water?" Chen Fang stared at Xie Yunxuan with sharp eyes.

Xie Yunxuan was incredulous, raising his other hand to point at himself, "Me? I threw your book in the water?"

Chen Fang squeezed a sentence through gritted teeth, "Yes, I only heard these past two days that you're afraid of this book, so I specifically put it in the drawer—"

Saying that, Chen Fang walked towards the bedroom with a hint of anger.

The others, seeing this scene, followed one after another, exchanging glances. For a moment, they really couldn't tell who the mastermind was.

However, the room wasn't big, only the cameraman and the other five guests walked in.

Chen Fang opened the door and walked to the desk, "I know you're afraid of this book, I haven't even looked at it these past two days, I put it in the drawer, why did you throw my book into the water?"

Saying that, Chen Fang stopped in front of the desk, pointed to the leftmost drawer, and looked back at Xie Yunxuan with a hint of anger.

Xie Yunxuan looked utterly bewildered, "You're saying I threw your book into the sink? You're playing the thief crying 'stop thief'! Don't you have a conscience?"

"If I wanted to scare you, I would have scared you long ago," Chen Fang glared, bent down, and pulled open the drawer, "Why would I put this book in my..."

He stopped mid-sentence, staring at the drawer in silence.
