Chapter 124

Chapter 124

"What?!"

Everyone couldn't help but feel surprised upon hearing just these few words.

"Is this going to be like that previous episode where we had to find the undercover agent?"

A sudden rush of memories welled up in Yi Tiantian's heart.

Xie Yi silently recalled the memory. He remembered that in the episode with the undercover agent, something extraordinary had happened, causing a calm program to turn into a stormy sea.

Although it was quite a spectacle and brought huge benefits to the program group, Xie Yi still hoped this episode would be a bit calmer.

After all, this time he was mainly here for a romantic trip with Yi Tiantian, not for an adventure to create dramatic effects for the show.

The guests who had seen the previous episodes knew that strange things often happened around Yi Tiantian, so everyone became tense.

Liu Yide felt his heart jump into his throat. He continued reading from the note: "Special Rule: Heartfelt Moment. During the Snow Country trip, it's inevitable that guests may feel a deep, affectionate connection with their beloved partner. Whenever the camera captures a deep, affectionate gaze between guests, the program group will judge it as a 'Heartfelt Moment.' The two guests who experience this moment will receive special treatment during the trip, such as better accommodations, dining vouchers for higher-end restaurants than other guests, and more..."

All the guests fell silent upon hearing this rule.

"It seems quite difficult to trigger a Heartfelt Moment since the relationships among the guests here are quite complicated. Whether anyone will feel a heartfelt connection is another matter!"

"But the rule doesn't mention that it must be between a couple. I wonder if someone will be bold enough to openly cheat in front of the camera."

Yi Tiantian was already looking forward to this so-called Heartfelt Moment.

"I don't mind a bit of hardship, as long as there's enough drama to watch!"

The other guests realized upon Yi Tiantian's analysis that the rule didn't specify it had to be between couples, meaning they could potentially receive special treatment by feeling a heartfelt connection with someone else!

However, since the show had just begun, the guests decided to hold back for now and not do anything too outrageous.

After the special rule was read, the day's filming ended. The next day, the romantic Snow Country trip would officially begin.

Early in the morning, Yi Tiantian got up and had breakfast, eager to indulge in some drama.

Xie Yi, who usually gets up early, joined Yi Tiantian for breakfast.

"A good day starts with some drama! But it's really cold here."

Having learned from the previous day, Yi Tiantian was much smarter today. He wore a warm parka, with all his gear neatly arranged, giving no chance for the cold wind to get close to him.

"There might be strong winds outside this morning. No wonder Mr. Xie was particularly concerned about what jacket I was wearing this morning..."

As Yi Tiantian said this, the staff around them brightened up.

No way! Is the first Heartfelt Moment about to happen so soon?

Xie Yi pretended to be calm, but there was a faint smile in the corners of his eyes, which the camera caught perfectly.

The audience in the live comments were extremely excited.

[??? Camera operator! Calling the camera operator! Isn't this a Heartfelt Moment?!]

[Yes, even though they're just having breakfast, the atmosphere between them feels so full of unspoken affection!!!]

[Oh my god, I thought they were just a gimmick pushed by the program group, but it turns out they're real! My friend, who's a die-hard fan, said she's having a hard time accepting this!!]

[Xie's smile is making me scream: He's never smiled like this at anyone before!!]

[I wasn't into this couple before, but now I'm hooked by the 'Ru Hu Tian Yi, Yi Fei Chong Tian' couple!]

However, the excited crowd soon realized it was just their illusion.

"I guess he's worried I might catch a cold and cause trouble for him."

"After all, I borrowed his black coat at the airport last time, which made Mr. Xie down several packets of cold medicine last night!"

"Don't worry, boss. I'll dress warmly today and make sure you won't need any cold medicine!"

As a qualified worker, Yi Tiantian silently vowed in his heart.

The staff who were about to raise their hand to declare a "Heartfelt Moment" paused mid-air and helplessly retracted their hand.

Sigh! They almost thought it was real!

Xie Yi's smile gradually flattened, and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.

If there were background music, the staff really wanted to add a line for Mr. Xie: "Cold rain slapping my face chaotically."

Just as everyone was feeling regretful about Yi Tiantian's lack of romantic understanding, a commotion came from the staircase.

"Chen Juan, do you think you're capable now?! Who told you to bring me this color of jacket?! Do you want to embarrass me in front of the TV audience?! And don't think you're so beautiful! Right now, you look like one of those women with a yellow face and black teeth!"

Men Jie, looking as round as a ball, walked down wearing a bright red parka, resembling an ugly Fuwa (mascot), his big belly protruding.

Behind him, Chen Juan, still looking meek, was softly refuting Men Jie's words.

"But I think this jacket is really cool. I often see people wearing this red parka in TV commercials. Everyone says it's very festive, so I specially brought you one for this trip, and it cost quite a bit of money. Oh, and since it's for the show, I used the family card you gave me. It cost 60,000."

"What?! 60,000?!"

Men Jie's expression was as if he had seen a ghost. He gaped in shock and turned to look at Chen Juan.

"This ragged clothing on me is worth 60,000?! I feel a draft even wearing it!"

Chen Juan appeared to be extremely frightened by Men Jie's scolding. Her body instinctively recoiled, and then she nodded meekly. "Yes, 60,000 yuan. I deliberately bought the most expensive one because I saw in the advertisement that it would keep you warm when worn..."

At this point, the expression on Men Jie's face could only be described as disgusted.

"Advertisement?! Those ads are completely misleading! Even elderly people know that the commercials on TV can't be trusted! You're not even as good as a 60-something-year-old illiterate old lady on the street now!"

As if it wasn't enough to scold her by himself, Men Jie also involved the viewers in the live chat, ganging up on Chen Juan beside him.

"Come on, everyone watching the live stream, tell me, isn't Chen Juan the stupidest woman in the world?!"

Chen Juan, who was standing behind Men Jie, immediately changed her expression and said in a low, aggrieved voice, "I just wanted to give you the best..."

The viewers could even see glistening tears welling up at the corners of her eyes.

[This Men Jie is really something else! Chen Juan has been with him since she was nineteen, taking care of him from the time he had nothing. But to think she'd be called the 'stupidest woman in the world' after all these years! This guy is such a letdown!! They should really get a divorce!]

[And yet she bought him a 60,000 yuan jacket. She must really love him, huh?!]

[Maybe Chen Juan deliberately bought such an expensive yet terrible jacket to annoy Men Jie! It serves him right for not even packing his own luggage!]

[Hahaha, if that's the case, all I can say is, "Well done!!"]

Regardless of the perspective, Chen Juan is not a bad person, right? I originally thought she was just a simple housewife, but it turns out she has a master's degree in psychology! And after marrying Men Jie, she even founded many charity projects, including building shelters for girls who escaped from the Girls' Island...

Seeing that the responses in the live chat were completely different from what he had imagined, Men Jie immediately lost interest and waved his hand as he headed downstairs.

As he walked, he muttered to himself, "Hmph, there's no way that woman... She must still be too in love with me..."

After going downstairs, Men Jie didn't notice the sly look that briefly flashed across Chen Juan's face.

"Today, Men Jie looks like the most awkwardly shaped red sweet potato."

"So bulky and not good-looking at all!"

As soon as he went downstairs, Men Jie was met with Yi Tiantian's merciless mockery.

Men Jie: ...

To be honest, he also thought that wearing this outfit made him look like a funny sweet potato.

But Yi Tiantian shouldn't be mocking him like that!

With a dark face, Men Jie was about to open his mouth to scold her, but then he found that he couldn't speak!

As long as it involved thoughts from the heart, he couldn't say a word!

So Men Jie could only glare with wide eyes and angrily spat on the ground, twisting his face in frustration.

Xie Yi, with a barely detectable frown, slowly said, "This is a place for eating breakfast. Please be mindful."

Naturally, Men Jie didn't dare offend Xie Yi. Seeing him speak, Men Jie scurried over like a nimble rat, flattering and fawning. "Sorry, Mr. Xie, I'm used to spitting at home. I'll be more careful in the future!"

"Men Jie actually has the nerve to say that? At home, he's like an arrogant master, spitting wherever he pleases and making Chen Juan clean up after him!"

"It's a complete insult!"

The more Yi Tiantian watched this big sweet potato rat, the more she disliked him and couldn't help but comment inwardly.

The staff members, hearing Yi Tiantian's thoughts, became even angrier.

They originally thought Men Jie only mentally manipulated Chen Juan, but now it seemed he didn't even treat her like a human being!

One staff member, a young lady who was eating, was so angry that she almost snapped her chopsticks in half.

Xie Yi had no interest in associating with such a person and was about to notify the company to never collaborate with Jiechu Entertainment again!

But when Men Jie heard Yi Tiantian's thoughts, he felt rather smug.

That's right, he was such a charming man!

He could keep Chen Juan under his control!

By this time, the other guests had gradually come down for breakfast. Although they didn't know what had happened that morning, Zhong Mei, who was keen on inserting herself into situations, keenly noticed that Men Jie seemed to be in a bad mood this morning.

So, while eating, she leaned forward and said thoughtfully, "Jie Ge, you're dressed so nicely today. This red really suits you! This red windbreaker looks amazing!"
