nHearing that she was hungry, Yu Jue couldn’t care less about anything else.
nHe looked nervous and immediately started rummaging through the snacks in his bag. “Yaoyao, I told you yesterday that you must wake up early this morning. Before making breakfast, I called you again. You promised me that you would get up, but who knew that you would laze around in bed until the production team came to pick us up…”
nHis mumbling made him seem like a nagging mother. Although it was funny, it was also a little cute.
nYu Yao smiled and said, “Alright, alright. Stop looking for snacks. It wasn’t easy for you to hide a few packs of beef jerky. What if the production team confiscated them?”
nThe production team acted as if they had not heard them openly discuss their secret plans, not giving any reactions.
nYu Yao pushed Yu Jue and said, “There are only two groups left now. Go choose our house too. The earlier we finish choosing houses, the earlier we can go back and rest. At that time, we can secretly take out our beef jerky to fill our stomachs.”
nYu Jue followed the direction of Yu Yao’s gaze and saw the young girl standing awkwardly in front of the executive director. She was about to reach out to take the picture of the dilapidated house when Yu Jue instantly understood Yu Yao’s intentions.
nHe walked up to the executive director in a few steps, snatched the picture of the dilapidated house, and said to the girl from the third group, “I know you want to take care of our group and give us the better room, but the rules of the game are that whoever gets the highest score can choose a better house. I don’t believe you really want to stay in this crappy room.”
nThe girl blushed. “Sorry, I think I did something unnecessary.”
n“It’s okay. You’re doing this out of kindness,” Yu Jue said casually. “Director, we’ve already chosen a house. Can we go back and rest now? If we delay any longer, I’ll protest that you won’t give us food!”
nThe director of the production team spoke a few more words before the guests took their luggage and started looking for their own houses.
nEver since Yu Jue chose the dilapidated house, Yu Wan’s expression had been very ugly. Her face had been dark on the way to find the house. Anyone could tell that she was in a bad mood.
nAfter walking for nearly ten minutes, they finally reached the house where they were going to stay for three days. Yu Wan could not hide the disdain on her face anymore.
nYu Wan frowned tightly and said unhappily, “This house is too dilapidated. Half the door is broken. How can someone stay here?”
n“We have already conducted a security check on this house. Although its exterior is very shabby, there won’t be any safety hazards. Please don’t worry…”
nThe production team’s attitude was still considered good, but Yu Wan became even more aggressive. “You think it’s safe just because you say so? Look at how dilapidated this house is. Who knows when the wall will fall? We don’t want to stay there, do we, Third Brother?”
nYu Wan wanted to obtain Yu Jue’s support, but he did not seem to have any objection to this lousy house. He circled the house twice and said, “This house won’t collapse for a while. Yu Wan, you don’t have to worry so much.”
nYu Wan choked and continued to frown. She tried to persuade him indignantly, “Third Brother, when have you ever suffered like this? Is it worth it to suffer like this for a variety show?”
nYu Jue thought to himself that he had experienced even more bitter and difficult days in his previous life. In order to get closer to the role of an undercover reporter he was playing, he had once pretended to be a beggar with an IQ problem and wandered around the city for nearly half a month…
nAt that time, he had been eating leftovers from the trash can and sleeping under the dark and wet bridge… After truly experiencing that difficult life, he had made a good and satisfying movie and relied on that role to become the youngest winner of the Best Actor award.
nThis time, he only needed to stay in a dilapidated house for three days. What could he not bear about this?
nBefore Yu Jue could say anything, Yu Yao picked up his luggage impatiently and walked straight forward to push open the wavering door. The door creaked loudly, but it did not fall as expected.
nYu Yao turned back and said with an impatient expression, “Yu Wan, you saw it, right? This door just doesn’t look firm on the outside. There’s nothing wrong with the house. If there’s a safety hazard, the production team won’t dare to let us stay. If you don’t want to stay, then go and make a fuss with the production team. Anyway, I don’t want any more trouble!”
nYu Yao picked up her luggage and entered the shabby room, followed by Yu Jue.
nHe said anxiously, “Yaoyao, don’t be so anxious. Let me go in first. What if there are rats inside? It’ll be bad if they scare you…”
nThe production team’s staff hurriedly followed to help clean up the room. Hence, only Yu Wan was left in the dilapidated yard. There were a few weeds that were as tall as a person growing by the side of the yard. The weeds swayed gently in the wind, as if they were silently mocking Yu Wan…
