Due to being in an unfamiliar living environment, Mu Zhengqing couldn't fall asleep.
In fact, when Lu Yiwei left, he hesitated, wondering whether or not to ask Lu Yiwei to stay.
Now that he knew it was a misunderstanding on his part, he didn’t need to avoid Lu Yiwei anymore. However, in the end, he didn’t say anything. After all, in the end, he would still be alone.
Just as he was starting to feel a bit sleepy, he heard the sound of the door opening.
He was about to get up when he suddenly thought of something and ultimately remained lying in bed without moving. Soon, he heard footsteps coming closer, and after a while, he felt the bed sink slightly. When he opened his eyes and looked over, he found that Lu Yiwei was already lying on the bed.
Forget it, let it be. Perhaps it was because there was someone familiar beside him that Mu Zhengqing quickly fell asleep.
After Mu Zhengqing fell asleep, Lu Yiwei on the other side also quickly drifted off.
Mu Zhengqing and Lu Yiwei had fallen asleep, but the livestream audience, on the other hand, exploded into chaos.
What was Lu Yiwei doing in Mu Zhengqing’s room so late at night?
And they didn’t hear the sound of the index calling out, did they?
Mu Zhengqing's fans (roaring): "Lu Yiwei, get out here right now!"
Lu Yiwei’s fans (softly): "Uh, let me think about what I should say..."
Without getting any answers, the online viewers once again flooded the show's Weibo account.
Is there something that our esteemed members can’t see?
Even though anyone can become a member just by registering, they firmly believe their rights should not be diminished.
Early the next morning, Mu Zhengqing was woken up by the sound of knocking.
By that time, Lu Yiwei was no longer in bed.
The program crew was calling for him to head to the assembly point.
Not having a phone is really inconvenient; if something comes up, you can only rely on people shouting.
Mu Zhengqing opened the door and happened to bump into Lu Yiwei. After the two of them arrived, everyone else showed up as well.
Once everyone was there, Liang Qi began announcing the breakfast rules.
Considering they had just arrived and didn’t have any points yet, the production team decided to let them earn today’s breakfast by playing a game.
The game is called: Guess the Song Title.
The guests are split into two teams, and there will be a total of ten questions. Each time a team guesses a song correctly, they’ll win one breakfast item.
As soon as they heard it was a song-guessing game, everyone immediately turned their eyes to Mu Zhengqing and Long Cheng.
After all, only the two of them were professional singers among the group.
“Brother Mu, can we be on the same team as you?” Idol group member Wu Pandan, who had some interaction with Mu Zhengqing in the past, pulled senior Yong Xinyi over and asked in front of him.
Compared to Long Cheng, Mu Zhengqing was clearly more popular.
Mu Zhengqing being more popular wasn’t because he was more famous, but because Long Cheng was too arrogant.
Like right now—his nose was in the air, and he had an expression that made it seem like he didn’t care about anyone, making people want to smack him twice just to vent their frustration.
But that’s not entirely true; there was one person he did pay attention to.
"Sure," Mu Zhengqing glanced at Lu Yiwei, then nodded his head.
Receiving Mu Zhengqing's look, Lu Yiwei, in a good mood, began walking toward him. But he had only taken a couple of steps when Long Cheng blocked his way.
"Senior, let’s be in the same group. I guarantee you’ll have a feast for breakfast."
"Move," Lu Yiwei said coldly, his face expressionless.
Just as Long Cheng was about to say something more, Lu Yiwei had already walked around him and made his way over to Mu Zhengqing.
"Can I join your team?" Lu Yiwei asked, standing in front of Mu Zhengqing.
"Of course you can," Mu Zhengqing replied with a smile.
He had looked at Lu Yiwei earlier because he wanted to be on the same team with him.
Previously, Lu Yiwei had helped him so much, and now that they had finally entered his area of expertise, there was no reason for Mu Zhengqing to leave Lu Yiwei behind.
After Lu Yiwei joined their team, Mu Zhengqing noticed that Wu Pandan’s gaze started to become unusual.
Once the teams were formed, the competition began right away.
Everyone initially thought it would be a showdown between Mu Zhengqing and Long Cheng, but no one expected it would end up being a competition between Mu Zhengqing and Fu Kaile.
The two of them answered question after question, not giving anyone else a chance to speak.
In the end, out of ten questions, Mu Zhengqing answered five correctly, amateur contestant Fu Kaile got four, and idol group member Wu Pandan answered one. Singer Long Cheng and the others didn’t get a single answer right.
This unexpected outcome made Long Cheng's face turn dark.
Mu Zhengqing’s team won six breakfast items, and Fu Kaile’s team won four.
Everyone was satisfied with the result—except Long Cheng.
For not getting a single answer right, he blamed Fu Kaile and Mu Zhengqing.
It was all because they had stolen his spotlight. Otherwise, how could he not have answered a single question?
After all, the reason he was so arrogant was because he relied on his "abilities."
While he didn’t dare offend Mu Zhengqing too much, Fu Kaile was still someone he could manipulate as he pleased.
It seemed he needed to have a little chat with Fu Kaile.
"Thanks for the breakfast," Lu Yiwei said to Mu Zhengqing after receiving the food.
"You're welcome," Mu Zhengqing replied.
Their simple conversation—who knows why—was enough to make Wu Pandan overly excited. [calling it now, she is one of us]
After breakfast, Liang Qi informed them that the production team had buried many treasure chests around the island. Inside the treasure chests were point vouchers, which the guests could use to exchange for points with the production team. These points could be used to buy anything they needed.
Mu Zhengqing and Lu Yiwei exchanged a glance, and in each other's eyes, they saw an invitation to team up.
Originally, Mu Zhengqing had wanted to team up with Fu Kaile. After the earlier game, he realized that the two shared a common love for music.
However, seeing Fu Kaile standing with Long Cheng and talking, he ultimately had to give up.
Actually, Lu Yiwei wasn’t bad either. If it weren’t for Fu Kaile, Lu Yiwei would indeed have been his first choice.
Unaware that he was the second choice, Lu Yiwei was still feeling giddy and happy inside, thinking that he and Mu Zhengqing were truly heading toward each other.
This time, they didn’t bring Mulu. Like other cats, Mulu didn’t like going out during the day, which was why Mu Zhengqing had carried him all the way here yesterday.
"Do you have any memory of what happened after you fell asleep last night?" Mu Zhengqing asked Lu Yiwei.
He was curious whether Lu Yiwei had left his room after waking up or if he had left without ever waking up.
"No memory at all. Did something happen last night?" Lu Yiwei asked, feigning confusion.
Last night, after explaining things to Mu Zhengqing, he didn’t go straight back to his room but instead went to find Liang Qi.
He told Liang Qi that under no circumstances should Mu Zhengqing be allowed to contact anyone outside before the show ended. [and there you go! Orange flag strikes again!]
As soon as Liang Qi heard this, he immediately assured him there would be no problem.
Originally, Lu Yiwei had been worried that Liang Qi might use his position of influence to allow their phones to be returned.
It wasn't unreasonable for him to think this way, after all, Mu Zhengqing's dependence on his phone really wasn’t just average.
Who would have thought Lu Yiwei would make such a request? He could laugh himself awake from a dream!
There’s no reason not to agree.
Even after Lu Yiwei went back, he still felt uneasy, so he pretended to sleepwalk into Mu Zhengqing's room.
Before he left, he didn't miss Mu Zhengqing’s hesitation to speak.
Since he won’t take the initiative, then Lu Yiwei might as well take the initiative.
Although he still didn’t know why Mu Zhengqing’s first reaction, after guessing that he liked him, was to avoid him.
But there’s one thing he's certain of: if he doesn’t temporarily hide his feelings, he’ll only grow further away from him.
Of course, when he says "hide," it only means not confessing for now. There’s no way he won’t treat Mu Zhengqing well.
He doesn’t know what’s troubling Mu Zhengqing, but he hopes Mu Zhengqing can work through it.
Even if, in the end, Mu Zhengqing doesn’t accept his feelings, he doesn’t want him to be like he said — accustomed to being alone and planning to stay that way.
As for Lu Yiwei not remembering his sleepwalking, Mu Zhengqing thought about it and planned to mention it to him during their break.
This time, he entered his room and nothing happened, but if next time he enters a room he shouldn’t, that could be a problem.
Right now, finding the treasure chest is the priority.
To avoid going hungry, Mu Zhengqing began seriously searching for the chest, but after searching with Lu Yiwei for a long time, they didn’t even catch a glimpse of it.
Although they didn’t find the chest, they did encounter other people.
At some point, Yong Xinyi, who had been with Wu Pandan, was now walking with her ex-husband, Shang Jingwei.
Watching their backs, Mu Zhengqing felt that the atmosphere between them was strangely harmonious.
It didn’t seem like they were searching for the chest at all but rather leisurely strolling.
Even divorced, the two of them could walk so harmoniously together, so it seemed normal for him and Lu Yiwei to do the same.
Somehow, Fu Kaile and Wu Pandan had ended up together.
He wasn’t sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt like Wu Pandan had been sneaking glances at him and Lu Yiwei the whole time.
Di Jiaxun, on the other hand, was by himself. But judging by his swift and agile steps, it seemed like anyone walking with him would only slow him down.
As for Long Cheng, they still hadn’t seen him, and no one knew where he had gone.
After more than an hour of searching, they still hadn’t even caught a glimpse of the treasure chest.
Mu Zhengqing asked the others, but none of them had found the chest either.
“Let’s check by the beach,” Lu Yiwei suggested.
Mu Zhengqing nodded in agreement. If they couldn’t find the chest soon, he’d start doubting if the show had even placed one there.
Walking along the beach, Mu Zhengqing wasn’t paying attention to his footing and nearly tripped over something, but luckily, Lu Yiwei caught him just in time.
Looking down at the object, Mu Zhengqing said uncertainly, “Do you think the treasure chest could be buried underneath this?”
Without waiting for Lu Yiwei’s reply, Mu Zhengqing started digging.
Soon, a palm-sized treasure chest appeared in front of them.
They had finally found the chest, and Mu Zhengqing was so happy he nearly jumped for joy.
He hadn’t been interested in this segment at first, but the production team hid everything so well that it piqued his curiosity.
With a smile on his face, he opened the treasure chest, only to find the four big words on it: “Keep it up.”
Mu Zhengqing was so angry he almost went to find Liang Qi to settle the score.
Lu Yiwei, seeing the furious Mu Zhengqing, comforted him, “It’s okay, the next one will definitely have something.”
Lu Yiwei was right; the next one did have something — one point.
Although the points were few, it was still better than nothing.
Next, Lu Yiwei was responsible for digging the treasure chests, while Mu Zhengqing was responsible for opening them. Before long, the two of them had accumulated quite a few point vouchers.
During this time, Yong Xinyi and Shang Jingwei also arrived at the beach and joined them in the search for treasure chests.
Their roles were the same as those of Lu Yiwei and Mu Zhengqing: Shang Jingwei dug, and Yong Xinyi opened.
Those who opened the chests were happy, and those who dug were equally happy.
Before long, everyone, except for Long Cheng, had joined in the digging and opening of treasure chests.
Soon, the group had turned the area upside down.
Mu Zhengqing counted the notes in his pocket, and after confirming the points were nearly enough, he pulled Lu Yiwei to sit aside.
The others were still stubbornly searching, and Mu Zhengqing watched them with amusement.
One treasure chest—he watched as Yong Xinyi, Wu Pandan, and Fu Kaile each picked it up and inspected it.
Since he had some free time, Mu Zhengqing decided to tell Lu Yiwei about his sleepwalking incident last night.
“You sleepwalked again last night,” Mu Zhengqing said directly to Lu Yiwei.
“Did I go to your room last night?” Lu Yiwei asked uncertainly.
“Yeah, you slept on my bed last night,” Mu Zhengqing replied.
“Sorry, I disturbed your sleep,” Lu Yiwei said with an apologetic expression.
“I’m telling you, the sleepwalking isn’t because you disturbed my sleep. It’s not the first time we’ve slept together, so there’s nothing disturbing about it. Whether you’re by my side or not doesn’t really affect me.”
Seeing that Lu Yiwei hadn’t caught the main point, Mu Zhengqing explained.
“Then what was it because of?” Lu Yiwei asked, confused.
Actually, he could guess the reason why Mu Zhengqing was telling him this. The only reason he asked was that he wanted to hear words of concern from Mu Zhengqing’s mouth.
“You can’t keep sleepwalking like this. I’m not sure if it has any other effects on your health. You should find time to get it checked out,” Mu Zhengqing said, which was the main reason he was bringing it up.
Even if it doesn’t have any other effects on your health, going into the wrong room and climbing into the wrong bed could turn into a big problem.
“Hmm, I haven’t had time before, but I’ll go once the show is over. But before that, can I continue sleeping at your place?” Lu Yiwei asked with hopeful eyes, looking at Mu Zhengqing.
“You won’t sleepwalk if you stay at my place?” Mu Zhengqing asked.
“Hmm,” Lu Yiwei nodded confidently.
In the end, Mu Zhengqing agreed to Lu Yiwei’s request to stay over.
The reason he agreed wasn’t just because of Lu Yiwei; it was also because of Mu Zhengqing’s own reflection.
He realized he had been too hasty before. He should have given the relationship more time and allowed Mu Zhengqing to feel secure.
When everyone returned with their arms full of rewards, they found Long Cheng, whom they hadn’t seen, lying on the sofa, fast asleep. Hearing the noise, Long Cheng saw them and immediately walked over to Fu Kaile, asking, “How much have you found? Is it enough for me to have lunch?”
Fu Kaile said he didn’t have any here.
He truly didn’t have any, as all his were with Wu Pandan.
Wu Pandan, seeing Long Cheng asking Fu Kaile for the vouchers, smiled with a curved mouth. She had already known this would happen, which is why she teamed up with Fu Kaile and kept their vouchers for safekeeping.
