Chapter 36

Yi Tiantian, as a guide, led one taxi along with another guide, Fei Cheng, who led the other.

In Yi Tiantian's taxi were Tang Hu and Ye Meng. Both of them had chosen to be in Yi Tiantian's car voluntarily.

Tang Hu chose this because her reputation within the industry was controversial, and she wanted to keep a distance from the actor Fei Cheng.

Ye Meng, on the other hand, wanted to curry favor with Yi Tiantian, hoping he wouldn't think about her past scandals.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries upon getting into the car, all three of their phones simultaneously beeped with a message notification.

Yi Tiantian opened her phone and found that it was indeed a message from the production team.

"Dear guests, when you see this message, please do not act abnormally. Based on the joint decision of our two guides, Yi Tiantian and Fei Cheng, we will now assign you your eerie mission for this trip."

The content was the same for everyone, but what followed was different.

Yi Tiantian continued reading.

"Hello, Yi Tiantian. As the guide for this trip, your role in the eerie mission is that of the team leader. Your task is to unravel the mysterious puzzle at the resort and uncover the mole within the group. We will continue to contact you, but please do not reveal your identity."

Taking a sharp breath, Yi Tiantian felt like she had joined the wrong production team.

If she wasn't mistaken, she thought she was here to film a travel variety show?

Why did it feel like a game of Werewolf now?

And what kind of eerie puzzle could there be at the resort?

A series of questions swirled in the new team leader Yi Tiantian's mind. She turned off her phone screen and observed Tang Hu and Ye Meng in the backseat through the rearview mirror.

Both of them had an intriguing expression on their faces after reading the message.

The audience had already learned about the special identities and missions for this trip through the official Weibo account of the production team, so they were eagerly anticipating what would happen next.

.

When the guests arrived at the seaside resort, it was already past three in the afternoon.

The two taxis stopped steadily in front of the resort hotel, and the six guests gathered again. Fei Cheng obtained the keys to everyone's rooms from the receptionist and distributed them to the guests.

Upon entering their rooms, the first thing they saw was an endless expanse of blue waves.

Yi Tiantian couldn't help but let out a low exclamation.

Not just Yi Tiantian, but all the guests were amazed by the beautiful scenery of the resort.

The comments section was filled with envy.

[The scenery for this trip is amazing! The luck of my favorite couple is really good!]

[Blue sky and sea, I love it!!]

All the guests were staying in single rooms. After resting for a while, they gathered again according to the production team's instructions to have dinner.

The restaurant arranged by the production team was a marine-themed buffet in the resort, offering a rich selection of seafood for the guests to enjoy.

Fei Cheng casually picked up a few oysters to share, but then he heard a small murmur behind him.

"The actor must be feeling pretty weak to eat so many oysters!"

Fei Cheng quietly put the oysters back without showing any reaction.

Those who had already taken their food began eating at the table.

Yi Tiantian was chatting with Tang Hu while enjoying some cold mixed squid, but then Ye Meng suddenly approached.

"I was talking about my acting..." Tang Hu was interrupted before she could finish.

Ye Meng completely ignored Tang Hu, moving closer to Yi Tiantian with a smile and asking, "Brother Tiantian, is it good?"

Tang Hu, interrupted, awkwardly pursed her lips and stood up to get more food.

Ye Meng noticed this and quickly covered her mouth, whispering, "Did I offend Sister Tang Hu just now? I didn't mean to interrupt her!"

After saying this, Ye Meng felt quite pleased with herself, as she had always been adept at playing the innocent card. This combination was sure to confuse any man!

Many fans in the comments section, despite not being men, were fooled by her innocent face and pitiful tone.

[I said Tang Hu is just a busty actress! What does she have to be so arrogant about? She was pouting just now, thinking no one would notice!]

[Meng Meng said she didn't mean to! Tang Hu is so petty, walking away like that!]

[Poor Meng Meng...]

[Poor Meng Meng +1]

But Yi Tiantian's thoughts were completely opposite to those in the comments.

"Tsk! Ye Meng, the notorious green tea, clearly interrupted Tang Hu on purpose and is feigning innocence!"

"Does she think no one can see through her? Here she can only fool the naive writer Jian Dan!"

"Want to get close to me? Don't come near me!"

Yi Tiantian had no fondness for Ye Meng and harshly criticized her in her mind.

The green tea tactics were exposed, leaving Ye Meng awkwardly digging her toes into the sand.

"But you did interrupt Sister Tang Hu," Yi Tiantian replied expressionlessly, "be more mindful next time."

Tang Hu, who had just returned with some items, overheard Yi Tiantian's words. She happily patted Ye Meng's shoulder and said with a smile, "Mengmeng, sister knows you didn't mean to!"

Ye Meng had never encountered a man who didn't side with her before, and Yi Tiantian was the first!

She forced a strained smile and said, "Haha, yeah, I didn't mean to."

Though she apologized verbally, Ye Meng inwardly scoffed.

That brainless woman Tang Hu must have bewitched Yi Tiantian with her looks!

She believed the fans in the live chat could see it too!

And surely, there were countless fans already standing up for her in the live chat!

However, the situation in the live chat was not as Ye Meng had imagined.

[Yi Tiantian is right; Ye Meng shouldn't interrupt others!]

[Exactly, Ye Meng's fans are just as insufferable as she is!]

[But what about Tang Hu? Look at that fox-like face of hers! She has both Yi Tiantian and Fei Cheng wrapped around her finger!]

[Please don't drag Fei Cheng into this. Ye Meng is just being manipulative!]

[Stay away from us, Ye Meng!!!]

Although a few fans still defended Ye Meng, they were ultimately outnumbered and defeated.

Yi Tiantian obediently ate the peeled shrimp Fei Cheng had just brought her, while simultaneously opening the system to continue eating the drama.

"Ye Meng not only has messy relationships but also..."

Before Yi Tiantian could finish her thought, she was interrupted by Ye Meng again.

"Tian Ge, do we have any plans for tonight?"

Ye Meng asked loudly, her big eyes wide open.

"After dinner, we should have a small game to play," Yi Tiantian responded, coming back to her senses.

Because of Ye Meng's interruption, Yi Tiantian's thoughts were cut off once more.

The crowd, who had been eagerly listening, felt disappointed,

but Fei Cheng, who had been observing the entire time, was puzzled.

Why did Ye Meng always interrupt Yi Tiantian at crucial moments?

Was there something she was hiding?

Fei Cheng decided to pay closer attention to this seemingly innocent and cute but manipulative Ye Meng.

After dinner, the guests received notification from the show's staff that they would be playing a post-dinner game.

"We will now play a game called 'Finger Down,'" announced the staff member.

"The guests need to raise one hand and take turns stating something they've done that the others haven't. If the others haven't done it, they put down one finger. The guest with the most fingers remaining wins and gets a mystery prize from the show!"

After explaining the rules, everyone gathered around the beach bonfire to start the game.

Starting from the person on the far end, it was Jian Dan's turn.

Jian Dan, who had been quite low-key all day, blushed slightly and said softly, "I've never been in a relationship."

Jian Dan turned red after speaking, looking very innocent.

He assumed the other guests, being handsome and beautiful, must have had many romantic experiences.

But after Jian Dan spoke, both Yi Tiantian and Fei Cheng put down a finger.

This meant neither of them had been in a relationship either!

Everyone knew Fei Cheng was emotionally detached, but no one expected the same from Yi Tiantian.

Tang Hu laughed and said, "Tiantian, how can someone so handsome not have a girlfriend? Are you going to pair up with our Fei Cheng?"

Fortunately, the night hid the blush on Fei Cheng's face.

But the fans in the live chat exploded with excitement.

[Sister Tang Hu, you're shipping them! Ahhhhh!!]

[Who said Tang Hu would seduce men on the show? Step forward!!]

[Fei Cheng and Yi Tiantian, the perfect couple, everyone ships them!!]

After the commotion, host Wei Lily, who had been smiling quietly, noticed that Ye Meng had also put down a finger.

"Mengmeng hasn't been in a relationship either," Wei Lily whispered.

Ye Meng smiled slightly and said, "I'm still in college and want to focus on my studies."

"If you want to focus on your studies, why are you on a variety show?"

"You really haven't been in a relationship because everyone around you is just a fuck buddy!"

Yi Tiantian thought sarcastically.

Ye Meng's lie was exposed, but to maintain her image in front of the camera, she had to silently endure it.

Tang Hu almost burst out laughing when she heard Yi Tiantian's thoughts, and the other guests looked at Ye Meng with gossipy eyes.

The staff members exchanged glances and whispered among themselves.

Only the idol writer Jian Dan was different, as he was not from the entertainment industry and thus couldn't hear Yi Tiantian's voice.

Jian Dan even thought that Ye Meng was a pitiful girl who was being bullied!

Amid the disdainful gazes of the others, Ye Meng noticed this.

She decided to change her strategy and instead of trying to please Yi Tiantian, who didn't like her, she would try to win over the naive writer Jian Dan!

Ye Meng's plan was ringing loud and clear.

She believed that this innocent boy would surely follow her every word!

Yi Tiantian and Tang Hu were just waiting to be hit hard by her!

The game continued, and next up was the host Wei Lily beside Jian Dan, who spoke calmly, "I've recorded a travel show with someone I like."

Upon hearing this, the guests gasped.

Was one of them the person Wei Lily liked?!

But even more shocking was that the renowned actor Fei Cheng also put down one finger.

"Actor Fei, you, you, you..."

Ye Meng was stunned.

Because this meant that the person Fei Cheng liked was also present!
