Romance Variety Show: Director, there's something wrong with my script!

Chapter 9, Second Invitation

When Chen Yuan and Xu Zhiyi arrived at the sightseeing bus, they realized that their post-meal exercise was not yet over.

The sightseeing bus service has stopped, so they will need to hike for half an hour back to the resort at the foot of the mountain.

This made Xu Zhiyi frown; in fact, she was quite tired from playing badminton just now.

Chen Yuan came out of the restroom and looked around. Soon he saw Lu Zeyan and Zhang Jianjian walking towards him from not far away.

The two chatted and laughed, and soon noticed Chen Yuan and Xu Zhiyi who were there.

"ha?"

"Is it shut down?"

"Won't it take a long time to get down the mountain?" Zhang Jianjian's smile vanished immediately upon learning that the sightseeing bus service was suspended.

"Looks like we'll have to team up and go down the mountain together," Lu Zeyan said with a helpless smile.

Although it was already past eight o'clock, for Licheng, it was still early.

Moreover, the four of them walking down the mountain together is actually a pleasant stroll.

Chen Yuan discreetly put the card in his hand into the trash can next to him. Unconsciously, he had become accustomed to receiving task cards in various situations.

The only problem is that the daily wage of 3.33 yuan seems a bit too high, doesn't it?

So he recalculated and changed it to 1.11 per transaction, which made him feel much better.

But this time was different, because his task card had finally changed, and his motivation was much stronger than last time.

Just as Lu Zeyan, Xu Zhiyi, and Zhang Jianjian were ready to set off, Chen Yuan spoke up, "Jianjian, I found another path down the mountain. Do you want to come along?"

"..."

Zhang Jianjian was stunned at first, then blinked, pointed at himself, and said, "Are you calling me?"

"Yes, I'd like to invite you to walk along the path with me." Chen Yuan nodded seriously.

"Chen Yuan, Jianjian is my partner." Lu Zeyan frowned, unable to suppress his dissatisfaction even while being recorded.

"I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to invite my son to walk along the path with me," Chen Yuan said calmly.

"A crazy world," Xu Zhiyi said calmly. Even she was surprised just now and only now came to her senses.

As a woman, she had every reason to be disgusted by Chen Yuan's behavior.

However, this is a dating reality show called "Heartbeat for 30 Days," and the essence is to pursue the person you like.

Since Chen Yuan likes Zhang Jianjian, there is nothing wrong with his behavior.

"Then you guys take the shortcut, I'll go first," Xu Zhiyi said, setting off alone towards the foot of the mountain.

The sound of stiletto heels echoed in the quiet environment.

Lu Zeyan looked at Zhang Jianjian beside him and said, "Let's go too."

"Oh, okay...okay." Zhang Jianjian breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and then the two prepared to follow Xu Zhiyi's steps.

Watching the three about to leave, Chen Yuan felt helpless, but he couldn't help but call out to them, "Son, I promise you, this path has unforgettable scenery."

"Don't you really want to see it?"

"..."

"Crazy." Zhang Jianjian muttered, stopped in her tracks, turned around and said to Chen Yuan, "I'm not going, I want to go with Zhiyi."

"Xu Zhiyi, let's take the shortcut together!" Chen Yuan called out to Xu Zhiyi.

"Wow, I didn't expect to see a scene of carnage!" At this moment, off-camera, many shop employees on the mountaintop were excitedly watching the drama unfold.

"Who is this guy? Chen Yuan? I've never heard of him before!"

"Wow, this guy's really going all out on Zhang Jianjian!"

"A role model for us all!"

"....."

The whispers off-camera didn't reach Chen Yuan and the others in the camera's view, but at that moment, Xu Zhiyi actually stopped.

She looked at Chen Yuan with great interest.

Seeing that there was hope, Chen Yuan looked at him sincerely.

If this guy didn't act in accordance with his words, Xu Zhiyi thought he might be a very clever scumbag.

Thinking of this, she nodded and said, "Okay, I want to see if the scenery along the path is really that nice."

"Lead the way," Xu Zhiyi said calmly.

"Look, Xu Zhiyi is going too, so you'll agree, right?" Chen Yuan said with a smile to Zhang Jianjian.

Zhang Jianjian felt things were terrible and was speechless. The air felt tense wherever this guy was.

"snort."

"Let's go, I'm going with Zhiyi anyway," Zhang Jianjian said, taking Xu Zhiyi's hand with a beaming smile.

Xu Zhiyi looked at her hand but didn't say anything.

"Alright, let's go. Go down this way. This path is close to the cliff, and you can see the night view of Licheng from different heights." Chen Yuan chuckled and led the way. Soon they arrived at a set of steps.

The steps lead down the mountain to the villa area at the foot of the mountain.

"Let's go then." Chen Yuan waved to them and then led the way.

Behind them were Zhang Jianjian and Xu Zhiyi, and Lu Zeyan behind them.

Lu Zeyan's face darkened. For the first time, he felt hatred towards someone. This useless man seemed to be deliberately targeting him.

If you didn't get in through connections, you'd never even see this kind of person in your entire life.

Chen Yuan walked ahead, in a cheerful mood, completely oblivious to what the people behind him thought of him.

For this "Loser" mission, successfully inviting Zhang Jianjian down the side path will earn you 30,000 yuan in dating funds.

That means the unit price for this task is 4.11!

Including the two previous tasks, wow... he earned more than 60,000 yuan in one day.

The money I couldn't save even after a year of working, I earned today just by chatting up a girl.

Although he was nervous during all three attempts to strike up a conversation today, Chen Yuan found that after the initial nervousness came a sense of relaxation and self-satisfaction.

It's probably because I'm challenging myself to do things I wouldn't have dared to do before.

The steps on this path are not wide, and gradually, two people walking side by side will have to become one person walking alone.

Zhang Jianjian fell behind Chen Yuan, followed by Xu Zhiyi and Lu Zeyan.

"Look!" Chen Yuan suddenly stopped and pointed towards the cliff, exclaiming, "How beautiful! The moon looks like it's hanging on the treetops."

Zhang Jianjian was startled by his sudden action. He frowned and looked in the direction he was pointing. The next moment, his frown disappeared.

"Wow, it really is beautiful!" Zhang Jianjian exclaimed in amazement.

From their angle, the moon was partially obscured by the treetops, with one section of the treetops seemingly supporting the bright moon in the sky.

"It's a pity I don't have a camera." Zhang Jianjian felt a little regretful, otherwise this angle could have produced some very beautiful photos.

"It's alright, I'll draw it for you later," Chen Yuan replied.

"You can draw?" Zhang Jianjian asked in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhiyi withdrew her gaze and looked at Chen Yuan with a hint of curiosity.

Chen Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he blurted out subconsciously, "The fact that I can draw is something I, from Blue Star, can do."

After a moment of silence, Chen Yuan replied, "Well, it's alright, but it's fine if there's a suitable setting."

"Then draw this scene for me later!" Zhang Jianjian said expectantly.

"..."

"Well, I'll try my best to draw it for you when I have time," Chen Yuan said vaguely, then added, "Let's go, I heard there are a few viewpoints along this path."

Chen Yuanping calmed himself down and continued leading the way.
