CHAPTER 225: CHAPTER 225: I CAME SPECIFICALLY TO SCOLD GU YIYI

When they arrived, it was already midnight.

The production team had set up a live stream waiting for them, and the live chat was still filled with fans waiting eagerly.

After bringing them to the room where they previously picked their accommodations and having a sip of hot tea, they were asked:

"We’ve already chosen the accommodations for this episode. Do you three have any expectations or guesses about where you’ll be staying?"

The group froze for a moment upon hearing this. It had been pitch dark on the way here, and apart from feeling that it was a bit desolate and the roads were bumpy, they had no clue where they were.

Han Liheng thought for a moment and said, "Is it another rural area? Are we staying in those mud-brick houses without toilets again?"

Director Chen shook his head, "No."

Gu Yiyi glanced at the group, unsure of what she was thinking, trying to guess:

"Is it also a homestay? Did the production team build it themselves?"

Director Chen gave her a look and smiled faintly without responding.

Gu Zhi held the teacup, was silent for a moment, and said, "Is it a kang in the northwest or a cave dwelling?"

Director Chen: "..."

"How did you know that?"

"There was a lot of sand and dust all the way here, and the vegetation on the mountains couldn’t block it, plus we’re in the northwest. What else could it be but a cave dwelling? Don’t variety shows love to set up these exotic things?"

"..."

Director Chen instantly didn’t want to talk anymore.

[Wow, Zhi Zhi is so smart, she guessed it right.]

[This is hilarious. Brother Burger and Gu Yiyi were overthinking, talking about mud-brick houses and self-built homestays. Is the production team that generous?]

[Gu Yiyi has the face to come on a variety show? She caused our family to be downgraded, bullying people just because she’s a veteran?]

[+1, I specially came to curse her out, she’s so shameless, I’ll hate her for life/smile.]

[? What’s going on in the chat?]

[Who’s with me? I came to curse out Gu Yiyi too, but after watching for a few minutes, I inexplicably started liking Gu Zhi. She’s even prettier than on stage, such a classy beauty!]

The live chat was flooded with fans of "New Star Girl," who came specifically to curse out Gu Yiyi.

Comments clashed fiercely in the chat.

Gu Yiyi naturally didn’t know what was being said in the chat. Hearing that Gu Zhi seemed to have guessed right again, she furrowed her brow slightly.

The production team quickly took out a few pictures of the homestays and handed them to them, saying:

"These six houses are your accommodations for this episode; three of them are yours. Now you can go to your respective places to rest."

Gu Zhi glanced at a few photos without surprise: "..."

Han Liheng, meanwhile, widened his eyes with disdain: "Do you think there’s anything to look forward to in this kind of house?"

Director Chen: "..."

Han Liheng looked through each photo, suddenly worrying, "I hope I’m not staying in the worst one again!?"

[Hahaha, although it’s not, it’s pretty close.]

[Just so happens all three of them got the worst accommodations, and they’re all staying together!]

[xswl, I’m so eager to see their reactions when they reach their places!]

The production team didn’t say much more and quickly put them back in the car to take them to their accommodation.

The three people’s accommodations were in a courtyard, side-by-side cave dwellings, and they were dumbfounded upon arrival.

Han Liheng stood at the door comparing for a long time before realizing his accommodation was a three-room earth cave, the environment much better than the other two, at least it was coated with cement and renovated!

But when he turned around and saw Gu Yiyi and Gu Zhi’s rooms were the worst, he couldn’t help but feel schadenfreude.

"Hahahahahahaha, I’m actually not in the worst one! Gu Zhi, look who got the worst one, it’s you, hahaha!"

Gu Zhi: "..."

[Hahaha, Brother Burger seems like a fool? Even if Zhi Zhi is in the worst room, it doesn’t mean she’ll have the worst time.]

[Brother Burger, have some manners, will you? Laughing at Zhi Zhi, forgot she helped you earlier today/angry.]

[On behalf of Han Bao, Burger apologizes/kneels, if you’ve cursed Han Bao, please don’t curse our Burger family oh.]

Gu Yiyi’s face turned green seeing her accommodation, but seeing Gu Zhi’s was even worse, she instantly felt balanced.

Meanwhile, Han Liheng curiously asked, "But how were the accommodations distributed this time? Reverse order? First place gets the worst?"

Director Chen: "..."

He pursed his lips and explained, "Based on game rankings, Aunt Qin was in last place in this round, so there was no choice."

"Ah! That explains it!" Han Liheng suddenly understood.

Director Chen didn’t say anything more, just advised them to rest early, as there were activities tomorrow, and then he closed the live stream and left.

Gu Zhi wasn’t particularly affected by her accommodation, having anticipated the production team’s antics, so she picked up her luggage and went to knock on the door.

Father Qin and Mrs. Qin hadn’t slept yet, waiting for her to come over. Upon hearing the knock, they snapped out of a nap and quickly went to open the door for her.

"You’re here? Tired?" Father Qin took her suitcase with concern.

Gu Zhi nodded slightly, and Mrs. Qin took her hand and led her inside, "Come in, your hands are a bit cold; it’s still chilly at night here. I just heated some coal. Are you hungry?"

A string of concerns left Gu Zhi a bit off guard, and she shook her head with a smile, "Not hungry."

"Traveling till now, you must be a bit hungry. I’ll make you some milk powder for a good sleep."

Gu Zhi: "..."

The small cave could barely fit three people, not much room to turn.

But Father Qin and Mrs. Qin had tidied it up neatly, with luggage and furniture arranged orderly, clean and tidy, everything in place.

The faint flicker of the fire added a touch of warmth to the early autumn earth cave, suddenly feeling like home.

Gu Zhi put away her luggage, waiting for the milk Mrs. Qin was making for her.

In the interim, she received several messages from Jiang Xiangwan inviting her to stay over, which she politely declined one by one.

Meanwhile, next door to the Qin family were Gu Yiyi and Gu Mu’s accommodations, opening the door meant seeing each other.

Gu Yiyi watched Gu Zhi being warmly welcomed by Father Qin and Mrs. Qin, a trace of displeasure crossed her eyes.

Then she curled her lip in disdain and walked into her own cave, her expression stiffening again.

She never imagined the inside would be this shabby.

There was only a bed, and it was a kang, with a quilt so old it was falling apart, impossible to look at.

A table cluttered with random stuff, visible dust, Gu Mu stood disdainfully on one side, afraid to touch anything.

She frowned and said, "Let’s just cope for tonight, think about switching a room tomorrow... This production team is something, had I known, I wouldn’t have participated!"

Gu Yiyi pursed her lips, unable to hold back her complaints, "What game did you play today? Why did you also lose?"

"If it weren’t for Gu Zhi’s mom dragging me, I wouldn’t have lost."
