Because several people were standing with their backs to the gate, it wasn't until Wen Jin walked in for a while and came next to the crowd that she was noticed.

Huo Yitong had the sharpest eyes among the few people. Seeing her old friend after a long time, she greeted happily: "A'Jin, when did you come?"

"When you said 'bingshan face." Wen Jin spat out the words blankly, as if she was emitting cold air from her body.

Standing close to each other, several juniors couldn't help but feel a chill in their necks, but the instigator Huo Yitong didn't feel it. She has known Wen Jin for many years, and she has learned a lot about her temper before entering the entertainment circle, and she has long been immuned to it.

"I'm not talking nonsense. You look like you are now, and you say you don't have a bingshan face. Don't scare the children."

As Huo Yitong said that, she purposely glanced in the direction where Ruan Jinghong was standing.

Ruan Jinghong was wearing a pure white woolen sweater today, with a high collar that tightly covered her slender neck, and stood quietly aside, making people think of a little white cat whose fur hasn't fully grown yet.

She grabbed the handle of her suitcase with both hands. The suitcase was also a pink and small one. Just like the owner, she was trying to reduce her sense of existence.

Wen Jin's heart softened, and she sighed: This poor little girl must be so restrained because she had no acquaintance just now.

As she entered the yard, she saw the child at a glance. If Huo Yitong hadn't come out to interrupt, the two of them would have struck up a conversation long ago.

Huo Yitong is standing in front of Wen Jin. If she bypassed her and went directly to someone else, it would be too embarrassing for her on the show.

So Wen Jin stood where she was, with some anticipation and joy in her heart, waiting for the child to take the initiative to come forward and say hello to her. After all, she is her only "acquaintance" on this show.

Who knew that Ruan Jinghong glanced at her, she just nodded very politely, then took two steps back, and. stood. beside. Jin. Zi.Yi!

Wen Jin:?

What's with this situation? Even Yin Xiang and Zhong Manyun who met me for the first time are more enthusiastic than you!

Wen Jin kept a polite smile to cope with the hospitality of Yin Xiang and Zhong Manyun, but her mood became less pleasant.

But the two people who were still paying attention to her didn't realize that they had provoked the little flame in Wen Jin's heart  that it was about to burn.

Fortunately, at this time, the voice from the loudspeaker interrupted the greetings of everyone on the field.

"Welcome all guests to our holiday cottage, where you will enjoy a week-long vacation together.

"During this period, all the money you brought yourself will be prohibited from being used. If you are found to have violated the rules, you will be punished by the program group.

"In order for everyone to enjoy a higher quality vacation life, you need to complete a series of tasks issued by the program group through your own efforts, so as to obtain currency and exchange for the resources you need.

"Attention, missions are the only official way to obtain currency. If you fail to complete missions, you will face the risk of living in the open.

"In order to enable everyone to complete their respective tasks more efficiently, the program team will adopt a team activity, with six guests working in pairs to complete the tasks."

"Then now, we will start to enter the grouping stage."

After the broadcast ended, the expected guests did not cheer, instead, there was silence.

Jin Ziyi was the first to react, "Well, are you sure we're here for vacation, not to participate in The Metamorphosis?"

*a lifestyle, role-swapping Chinese variety show

Huo Yitong sneered, "Group tasks and earn money, why does it sound like a script for a wilderness survival variety show?"

Wen Jin sneered, "Heh, the previous plan said 'relaxed and happy' and 'leisure and entertainment'. I heard that the director seems to have misunderstood relaxed leisure."

Yin Xiang and Zhong Manyun, who are relatively low-ranking, dare not speak out in their hearts.

Ruan Jinghong is the most accepting among them. After all, Shen Yun gave her five hours of vaccinations the night before departure, which made her fully mentally prepared: to participate in the group variety show, is to come to suffer.

It was rare for Ruan Jinghong to understand the rules of the program at once. With a pure and innocent face, she looked at the loudspeaker and asked, "Then what is the basis for us to divide into groups?"

The directing team, who had been barraged with complaints for a long time, burst into tears: Finally, a guest cooperated with the process, and this little girl can handle it!

"The rules of grouping are very simple. Now there is a cardboard box in front of you, and there are six lines of verses in it. Each person draws a slip of paper with verses written on it, and one person reads the verses he has drawn. If the verses drawn by the other person can make a sentence with the previous person, and after reading the next sentence, the two guests will automatically form a team."

Ruan Jinghong pricked up her white and pointed ears, and listened carefully for a long time before she figured it out: Isn't it just a lottery? Why make it complicated?

Although everyone complained about the rules of the program group, everyone had arrived here and could only cooperate with the process by walking to the box and taking out a piece of paper.

Here it is said that the random grouping is based on lottery. In fact, which two people should be in a group has already been arranged in the program blueprint.

There is a hidden compartment at the bottom of the box, which is controlled by the remote control of the directing team, so which verse each guest will get is actually arranged early in the morning.

Everyone also tacitly understood this, and Zhong Manyun was the first to read the poem, "May I ask where is the restaurant?*"

*verse from the poem Qing Ming by Du Mu

Yin Xiang unfolded the note, glanced at it, and quickly answered the next sentence, "The shepherd boy is pointing to Xinghua Village."

They quickly formed a team.

Then it was Ruan Jinghong's turn, "The most difficult thing to keep in the world*".

*verse from Butterfly in Love with Flowers by Wang Guowei

Wen Jin glanced at the note in her hand, and was about to speak, when Jin Ziyi suddenly rushed out with her hands raised.

"Mine, mine, a branch of red apricot came out of the wall*!"

*verse from It's Not Worth Visiting The Garden by Ye Shaoweng

The most difficult thing to keep in the world, a branch of red apricot came out of the wall?

Ruan Jinghong looked at Jin Ziyi in bewilderment, only to see that the other party proudly showed the note in her hand that said "a branch of red apricot came out of the wall", jumped up to her in a few steps, and said happily: "Sister, we two are a team."

Ruan Jinghong looked at the note in her hand, and then at the note in Jin Ziyi's hand. It seemed to be quite smooth, but then again, it seems that there is something wrong?

Jin Ziyi quietly walked around to Ruan Jinghong's side, turned off the microphone and blew into her ear, "I just realized that you are actually quite afraid of Queen Wen, right? Why don't we form a team and let the big bosses play together?"

It seems to make sense.

Ruan Jinghong thought of the "heavy responsibility of avoiding suspicion" on herself, and nodded seriously.

She raised the note in her hand with one hand, and Jin Ziyi's hand holding the note with the other, looked up at the camera and said, "Director, we are in a team."

From the beginning to the end, Wen Jin didn't say a word, quietly watching the two people who are like demons.

This... is indeed beyond the program team's plan.

The director had no choice but to intervene through the microphone, "The verses you two have, are not from the same poem, so you can't make up a team."

Jin Ziyi was not convinced, "Obviously it was what you said just now, if the lines drawn by two people can be combined into one sentence, after reading the lines, the two of them will automatically form a team. It was never said that two lines must come from the same poem  "The most difficult thing to keep in the world, a branch of red apricot came out of the wall." Isn't this reconciliation neat, or is it that your program team will go back on your words and operate in secret!"

The program team was originally operating in the dark, and Jin Ziyi seemed a little guilty when she said this. They never expected that such a formal drawing of lots and grouping would be a bad idea.

Seeing that the program team was speechless, Jin Ziyi was very proud, put one hand on Ruan Jinghong's shoulder, and smiled with big white teeth, "Then it's settled, I will be with Miss Ruan Jinghong."

Huo Yitong glanced at Wen Jin who was standing next to her, her usually calm face was about to turn black, so she could only smile and come to Ruan Jinghong's side before she gets angry.

"Ziyi's words make sense, and it's a neat sentence. But if you want to say it this way, the sentence in my hand seems to be more neat."

As she spoke, she showed the note in her hand and joined it with the one in Ruan Jinghong's hand.

"The spring is full of gardens and cannot be locked, the most difficult thing to keep in the world."

Jin Ziyi took a look, the format of these two sentences seemed to be more neat than the one she held in her hand.  But if this is the case, wouldn't she have to form a team with Queen Wen?

Jin Ziyi became anxious for a moment, and retorted, "What's the use of neat formatting? The first sentence of these two sentences is about the spring scenery, and the second sentence is about the years. The artistic conception is different. Where is the neatness?"

Huo Yitong looked at Jin Ziyi with a half-smile, and agreed: "Ziyi is right, the artistic conception is different, so it's not neat."

Well, dig another hole and bury yourself. Compared with the Queen Wen who seemed to have a face of hatred against her, if she insisted on choosing an individual to form a team, it would be Huo Yitong.

Like a defeated peacock, Jin Ziyi came to Huo Yitong's side, and re-read the poem with her.

"The garden is full of spring scenery and cannot be closed."

"A branch of red apricot came out of the wall."

The second group of guests, Jin Ziyi and Huo Yitong, successfully formed a team.

Ruan Jinghong pinched the note in her hand and glanced at Wen Jin with some guilt. She took a deep breath and read the poem in her hand again.

"The most difficult thing to keep in the world."

"The vermilion face resigned from the mirror and the flowers resigned from the trees." Wen Jin's voice was still as cool and pleasant as a cold spring in an empty mountain, but Ruan Jinghong inexplicably felt a chill.
