Chapter 4: Reduced to a Variety Show Control Group
The scene in the livestream stopped at the moment Lu Jinsen opened the card. In the eyes of the audience, only the comments section could function normally.
Until Meng Chuyuan walked into the live broadcast room and proved that it was not a static scene.
It had to be said that the production team was really good at stirring the crowd. Seeing that the fans in the live-stream were going crazy and suspecting that their livestream had hung, the camera did not give the card a close-up.
Seeing that Lu Jinsen did not move, Meng Chuyuan could only walk over and join him in the frame. She lowered her eyes and looked at the card in his hand. She said calmly, "Well done."
Her words caused a commotion in the live-stream again. Everyone was curious about what Lu Jinsen had drawn.
[Hurry up and announce the results!!]
[Well done? What do you mean? Is it what I think it is?]
[I have a bad feeling…]
[I'm so anxious. What exactly did they get?]
[The production team really knows how to rile us up. They deliberately aren't showing us the card.]
Accompanied by the comments from the fans in the live-stream, the video finally captured the content of the card in Lu Jinsen's hand. It was a close-up shot that lasted for a few seconds—
The adobe house.
From the pictures, the house looked run-down and old.
It was rare for Lu Jinsen to be so calm. He raised his head and looked at Meng Chuyuan with a complicated expression. He tried to regain his dignity in front of the camera. "It's a matter of probability."
However, Meng Chuyuan mocked him mercilessly, "Your luck is bad. What probability are you talking about?"
Seeing that Lu Jinsen was speechless, the viewers in the live-stream mocked him mercilessly.
[Adobe house hahahahaha, I'm very satisfied with this result.]
[I'm dying of laughter. Lu Jinsen is finding excuses for himself again.]
[Hahahahaha, Lu Jinsen, stop pretending. Your Sister-in-law can't stand it anymore.]
[Sister-in-law is so innocent, hahaha. She didn't do anything and was forced to stay in an adobe house.]
[Sister-in-law is so unlucky to have to suffer with Lu Jinsen.]
After choosing the house, the teams prepared to set off for their destination. According to the production team's rules, they had to hand in their phones.
Before handing in their phones, the guests could make a call to an important person. Qi Zhen's team called their Grandma, and Liao Jiake called her husband as expected.
Liao Jiake's video call was picked up in less than three seconds. The handsome face of Best Actor Xu Zeyi appeared on the screen.
The moment she saw Xu Zeyi, Liao Jiake's eyes curved into crescents, and the smile on her face deepened.
She said gently, "Hubby, are you busy?"
Xu Zeyi raised his phone, revealing his upper body. He was wearing a costume with a wig on his head. He said gently, "I'm putting on makeup. I have a scene to shoot later."
Liao Jiake: "I'm recording a variety show."
"I know." Xu Zeyi smiled and adjusted the camera on his phone. He turned the camera to the iPad on the table and said, "I'm watching the live-stream."
Liao Jiake was a little surprised. "Huh? You're watching the live-stream?"
[What?! Xu Zeyi is also watching the live-stream?]
[F*ck, f*ck, f*ck! Xu Zeyi is actually watching the live-stream!!]
[I want to call my sister too!]
[I'm about to become a romantic. Someone wake me up.]
[Sisters in front, don't get carried away. Your husband isn't Xu Zeyi!]
[Thank you for the reminder. I'll go dig for wild vegetables now.]
Initially, Lu Jinsen did not want to participate in this segment. However, when he saw that the other two teams were happily making calls, he felt embarrassed. Hence, he took out his phone and called his mother.
After the call went through, before Lu Jinsen could speak, Madam Lu took the initiative to take the initiative and said, "Rascal, don't look for me if you don't have money to spend. Look for your father."
Lu Jinsen was already used to his mother's lecture.
He also knew that if he didn't speak now, his mother would definitely hang up, so he quickly said, "Mom, I'm recording a variety show. I'm only telling you because I have to hand in my phone later. I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to contact me if something happened."
When Madam Lu heard his words, she seemed to be a little surprised. She couldn't help but laugh. "What can happen to me? Don't worry, even if something happens, I won't come to you. Kid, you have no money or power. You're useless."
Lu Jinsen was suddenly speechless.
Although this was the truth, there was no need to say it out loud.
"What kind of variety show are you filming? A reformed teenager?"
Resigned, he answered, "No."
She was indeed his biological mother. She always wanted to send him for reformation.
Madam Lu asked, "Which one is it?"
"Brothers and Sisters Advance and Retreat."
"Oh, that. But you're so useless. Who's willing to advance and retreat with you? Your brother doesn't seem to have returned from his business trip yet, right? And Lingling lied to the teacher and said that he had a headache and wanted to take leave. He's probably still sleeping upstairs. If they're not around, who are you going with?"
Madam Lu had heard about the popularity of last season's show. Even if she had not watched the variety show before, she could roughly guess what variety show it was.
Lu Jinsen glanced at Meng Chuyuan and subconsciously wanted to tell his mother her name. however, he realized that they were recording a variety show, so he naturally knew to restrain himself in front of the camera.
He coughed lightly and said awkwardly, "With my sister-in-law…"
"Sister-in-law He? Who is that?"
Lu Jinsen did not hear his mother's last sentence clearly. As if he had a guilty conscience, he was afraid that others would notice his abnormal behavior. He could not wait to hang up. "Mom, I'm hanging up. I'm hanging up."
The other two teams were still on the phone with their families and could not even bear to hang up. Meng Chuyuan took out her phone from her bag and handed it to the production crew without hesitation.
Before the staff took her phone, he specially reminded Meng Chuyuan, "Do you need to call your family?"
Meng Chuyuan shook her head and turned to leave.
[F*ck! Is Sister-in-law was so mighty and domineering when she handed over her phone?]
[It's so strange. She won't have acess to her phone until the end of the first episode. She can't use her phone for so long, but she doesn't even call her husband?]
[Liao Jiake and her are both married but why is there such a huge difference?] Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience
[I want to ask her if she's really married.]
[What's going on? I think I smell tea.]
[Aren't you going to let your husband know that you're safe?]
[IThe livestream just started. Everyone, don't make wild guesses. Maybe he contacted her in advance.]
After Lu Jinsen handed in his phone, Meng Chuyuan picked up her luggage and went with him to look for the adobe house on the card.
Under the guidance of the villagers, they quickly found their place of residence.
There was a half-meter-tall stone wall around the house, and one could clearly see the low and simple adobe house. The soil was yellow, and the wasteland in the courtyard was filled with withered weeds.
The surrounding environment was actually not too bad. It was just that it had been too long since anyone had lived there. It looked desolate and did not have the aura of life.
Lu Jinsen held the card in his hand and looked up at the adobe house in front of him. He still could not accept it.
He, who was used to living in big villas, suddenly regretted signing this program.
At the thought of this, Lu Jinsen could not help but look at Meng Chuyuan. He did not know if she regretted agreeing to save him from his predicament by joining this programme.
However, Meng Chuyuan did not think too much about it. She went forward and pushed open the creaking wooden door. She looked back at Lu Jinsen and tilted her head. "What are you waiting for? Come in."
Lu Jinsen: "…"
As soon as he stepped into the house, a musty smell hit him. There were many spider webs on the beams, and it was empty inside and out. It was not an exaggeration to describe the house as simply having four walls.
Meng Chuyuan took a quick look at the house and came back to Lu Jinsen. "Let's borrow a broom from the neighbors nearby. Then, we'll bring a bucket of clean water back to wash up."
After all, they had to stay here for the next few days. They had to at least make themselves comfortable.
"Yes." They had the same thought, so when Meng Chuyuan suggested it, Lu Jinsen took the initiative. "I'll borrow it."
[They don't even have a broom. Isn't this group too miserable?]
[Help! Was that really Lu Jinsen himself just now? He actually compromised with others!]
[I'm here for Jia Ke and Jia Yan, but I kind of like Lu Jinsen's sister-in-law. What should I do?]
[Is the house edited? Can someone really live in this house?]
[I have to say, this group's mental fortitude is quite strong.]
