What happened? My wife was suddenly all over me like this the moment we met.

[What do you think, succubus?]

Shi Mingmei's repeated ignoring of him made Huo Mingyi's expression extremely unpleasant, especially since the second time was under his own control.

Shi Wangyan watched from the side. He didn't stop Huo Mingyi from talking to his sister at first, but he was more wary of the person next to Huo Mingyi.

At this moment, he spoke up: "You don't need to worry about my sister. You can spend more time paying attention to the one next to you."

Shi Wang said sarcastically, "She doesn't look too well right now."

Huo Mingyi suddenly turned his head.

When these two are together, Huo Mingyi will pay attention to Shi Mingmei in his spare time, but once something happens, his heart will naturally drift towards Xu Mucheng.

This may be the innate compatibility and attraction between the male and female protagonists.

Looking back now, I noticed that Xu Mucheng's face was pale.

"I...I'm fine," Xu Mucheng said, her face pale. In a corner where Huo Mingyi couldn't see, her eyes glanced at Shi Wangyan with a soft and alluring look...as if they were there but not there.

Shi Wangyan's gaze was fixed on his younger sister.

Huo Mingyi did not notice.

Xu Mucheng's eyes flickered, and she said to Huo Mingyi, "Brother Mingyi, why don't you go and deal with Sister Mingmei's matter first..."

Whether she had done her homework on the show before coming or was currently focused on Qin Chaoyue, Shi Mingmei herself did not react to the title "Sister Mingmei".

Seeing that she had run up to Qin Chaoyue again, demanding an explanation, Xingxing, as her spokesperson, had no choice but to step in once more.

"It has nothing to do with whether your perfume smells good or not. My sister just doesn't like any kind of smell."

Shi Mingmei's expression was somewhat indignant: "...Fine."

She raised her hand and took a deep sniff herself, her nose twitching adorably. But the spray was all over her, and she was completely soaked in the flavor, so she couldn't feel anything at all.

"I want to take a shower! I want to change my clothes!"

The little princess made her demands regardless of the consequences, but Shi Wangyan came over and held her down: "We're recording a show, who's going to do these things for you?"

"Second brother..." Shi Mingmei tugged at her brother, "I don't care, she actually looks down on me!"

"No complaints, no complaints. Didn't you say you weren't used to it? Mingmei, what did we agree on before coming to this show?"

After a few more kind words, Shi Mingmei was finally calmed down: "Then promise me that when we get to our place, you'll let me take a shower right away."

"Good good."

Turning his head, Shi Wangyan said to Qin Chaoyue, "My younger sister is spoiled."

Shi Mingmei: "Qin Chaoyue, you just wait!"

Qin Chaoyue remained calm and composed throughout, only glancing at Shi Mingmei indifferently when she called her name.

Neither light nor heavy.

The little princess jumped up even more!

[Hahaha—Woman, you've successfully caught my attention.jpg]

[Woman, you're dead if you mess with me.jpg]

Is it funny? All I see is a woman's unrequited love for another woman...

That's hopeless, hehe.

[Hilarious! The older brother is trying to cover it up, but it doesn't seem very sincere.]

Who do you think spoiled the little princess into having the personality she has now? Her whole family bears responsibility.

I have a bold guess—

[I have that too, but I haven't been proven wrong yet, so it doesn't seem like it, right?]

[Shh, have you all forgotten what happened when the last fiancé came?]

[Hmph, why are you showering so nicely? Just want to sleep with my wife? I can tell you're no good. You want me to shut up? You'll have to... take me with you!!]

The fifth episode has just started airing.

Everyone was so preoccupied with their own grudges that they didn't notice the scene around them at all.

It wasn't until Shi Mingmei made her request to take a bath that they realized—

This is a farm in the countryside!

As far as the eye can see, there are endless fields...

The Shi siblings were stunned.

[Haha, is this "A Better Life"? Looks like it's not going to be a better life at all.]

[Actually, it's not that bad. The first episode, that remote mountain village was really poor. I see huge fields in the background, and the red brick houses in the background look big and new.]

[As a villager, I'd say any place with these self-built houses is a new rural area. They can even drive BMWs and Mercedes worth hundreds of thousands of yuan; they're definitely not poor.]

There are also disparities between rural areas.

I'm so envious!

Okay, this is really impressive for us commoners, but will these rich young masters and ladies from the city really be satisfied?

[Pfft, pfft, they've already started laughing]

The production team accepts new guests episode by episode, and each one brings their own investment to join the team. The money keeps increasing, and they can't possibly spend it all!

Director Guo used the money to rent a large house in advance and spent a lot of money to renovate it.

The so-called "good life" naturally means that everyone should live together "in harmony and happiness"?

The old format of having a group of guests share a room in the first episode was only because the local area was really poor and there was no other way. How pathetic! He will never do that again!

The bus stop was some distance from the big house, and the first problem we needed to solve was how to get our luggage there!

Guests like Qin Chaoyue and Cen Xuyi are long-time guests who have developed the habit of bringing only one suitcase, with just enough clothes and other items for a change of clothes.

Xu Mucheng is the same.

But these newcomers...

Shi Mingmei brought a total of twelve suitcases, which filled the space under the bus. I heard that she had already reduced the number of suitcases before leaving the bus, showing that she had been very restrained.

Male guests like Shi Wangyan, Lin Sheng, and Lin Jialang, while not as extravagant as Shi Mingmei, each brought two or three pieces of luggage.

There's no other way but to lose weight.

Lili was the first to curiously approach, her mouth agape. Inside the first, enormous suitcase that Shi Mingmei had opened, lay a beautiful dress.

Tang Yeli: "Why did you bring a formal dress?"

"What if there's a banquet?" Shi Mingmei continued opening the second box.

"Didn't the production team inform you in advance what you were supposed to bring? Didn't you receive it?"

Although the production team doesn't reveal the theme of each episode, they will inform the guests in advance what they need to bring, which actually allows you to vaguely guess the content of the episode.

"I saw it."

The second box contained a full box of specially blended perfumes. Remembering that Qin Chaoyue hadn't liked them, Shi Mingmei immediately closed the box and tossed it aside.

—No, I don't want it anymore.

"But what if something goes wrong? I only brought three items, which is really not enough. I was going to bring my bed with me and pay for the travel expenses myself, but they didn't agree." Shi Mingmei said angrily again.

"A rural fashion show? That's very creative."

A familiar yet somewhat aloof voice.

It was Cen Xuyi who brought Qin Chaoyue over. Qin Chaoyue was the one who was speaking just now, and she was opening the girl's suitcase. Qin Mianxing didn't come along this time.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Shi Mingmei's eyes lit up for a moment, then she angrily turned away.

"Didn't you say I smell bad? What are you doing here?"

"I'm just not used to it," Qin Chaoyue said.

"Okay, okay, I'll wash it off right away! And you... don't run away!!!"

As she spoke, Shi Mingmei packed her things even faster.

Her suitcases were full of beautiful clothes of all styles and occasions. The dress in front wasn't even the most extravagant; Shi Mingmei had also brought a riding outfit and a diving suit.

The last box was crammed full of skincare and cosmetic products.

When it came to making a real decision, Shi Mingmei's indecisiveness struck again.

Instead, Qin Chaoyue's sharp tongue led her to keep some everyday clothes, but she ran into trouble when it came to the last box.

It's not enough; even if we squeeze the space further, it's still not enough.

Qin Chaoyue: "You can bring more skincare products, and for makeup... just bring some lipstick and blush."

"……Um?"

"Where does the food we eat come from? Who do you think those fields outside are for? The food is awful."

"We still have to do work?!" Shi Mingmei was about to explode when she heard that.

Qin Chaoyue: "You have great skin and outstanding features, so don't need so many."

Why did the topic jump around so quickly?

However, Shi Mingmei was coaxed back to her senses in a second: "Okay... alright, then what color do you think suits me best?"

"For fair skin and young age, a lighter shade, like peach or light pink, will do."

Tang Yeli stared in disbelief.

Because this seemingly difficult young lady, just as Qin Chaoyue said, actually stuffed the luggage that the other party mentioned into the box.

The little princess has never been so enthusiastic about work.

“You’re wrong.” Shi Mingmei flung a strand of hair that had fallen down her head. “I’m older than you. I’ll be 25 next month.”

"Call me sister!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha--"

Shi Mingmei threw her head back and laughed wildly.

Tang Yeli's chin dropped completely.

……

The new guest reduced their luggage burden.

Shi Mingmei was looking at Qin Chaoyue, but Qin Chaoyue ignored her, and even her luggage ended up in Qin Mianxing's hands.

It was my younger brother who brought it up. It was a small, light outfit with only two or three changes of clothes.

In a blink of an eye.

The heavy box that Shi Mingmei had burned to death eventually ended up in Shi Wangyan's hands; Shi Wangyan himself had another one.

You know, to maintain the image of a dashing young nobleman, you can't skimp on the accessories.

Shi Wangyan: "..."

Upon arriving at the villa, he was slightly exhausted, but he didn't want to show it in front of the camera.

"Sis, how much did you stuff in that box? I knocked on it, and it's all solid, all of it!"

Shi Mingmei remained silent, only staring intently at Qin Chaoyue.

Xu Mucheng moved his wrists without making a sound.

When Shi Mingmei arrived, Huo Mingyi was no longer as considerate as in the previous two episodes; this time, he didn't even help her carry her luggage.

You see, her natural look isn't as good as those two, so naturally she had to put more effort into other aspects. This time, her suitcase was also heavier than usual, and the result...

This weight still fell on her own body and in her heart.

Even though he had made his intentions so obvious, Huo Mingyi still didn't react at all; he hadn't even noticed what was happening here.

Xu Mucheng silently lowered his eyelids.

The house for the group stay was very large. Thanks to the skillful renovation by the production team, a courtyard was built in front of the house, and a swing was hung there.

There are chicken and cattle farms nearby, and a big yellow dog wagging its tail at the entrance.

The interior was also carefully decorated, with rattan chairs and fences, creating a very pastoral atmosphere, a tranquil scene reminiscent of the poem "Picking chrysanthemums by the eastern fence, I leisurely gaze at the southern mountains."

"Wow!" Lili's eyes lit up immediately. Without thinking, she put down her luggage and rushed over to pet the big yellow dog.

She also had a dog like this during the first episode when she was in the mountains.

Qin Mianxing quickly stopped him: "Be careful he doesn't bite you. He's new here and doesn't know the area well yet. Let's observe him first."

"well."

Tang Yeli was convinced and nodded repeatedly, her eyes fixed on the dog.

The houses weren't big enough for one person per room yet, so Yin didn't look at her. Next, they started assigning rooms.

"I'll share a room with Qin Chaoyue!" Shi Mingmei was the first to speak, her tone as urgent as a primary school student on a field trip.

Seeing that Qin Chaoyue's gaze was also looking over, she raised an eyebrow and said softly, "I also brought a bright red lipstick, which suits you very well."

Qin Chaoyue: "..."

I was watching him the whole time; I never expected he was so good at petty theft.

Shi Mingmei: "Ahem, what I mean is, you're not bad either. We've evenly matched, it's a close call."

Being arrogant isn't really suitable for her.

My goodness, just how attractive is Qin Chaoyue that all these female guests are flocking to her?

Don't you want to be affectionate with your wife when she's in front of you?

Seeing that no one objected, Lin Sheng smiled and stepped forward, saying, "Then let Xiao Lang and Xiao Ye share a room too."

"The two children are about the same age, so living together will definitely give them a lot to talk about. They can exchange experiences and feelings!"

He patted Lin Jialang's shoulder as if to show his consideration, and pushed him forward: "Xiao Lang, didn't you always have something to say to this younger brother?"
