Pei Xu’s heart was pounding.
But his face remained expressionless. He looked directly at Guo Bing, raised his hand to indicate that he had won, and then sat down.
When Pei Xu noticed Zhai Xingchen looking at him, the corner of his mouth twitched.
He really used a lot of willpower to not smile in front of the other guests.
Because he could imagine how surprised and frustrated the other guests must be.
For him, this result was like a windfall, an absolute surprise!
He himself hadn’t expected it.
He guessed why he had won.
Just as he expected, these rivals, though seemingly united, each had their own agendas. They even had significant disagreements on whether or not Zhai Xingchen should be selected.
Those who chose him probably never expected to run into someone else.
Hu Ying’s face had turned red with anger.
Who exactly chose Pei Xu?
If they didn’t know that Pei Xu also liked Zhai Xingchen when the performance order was decided, and that pushing Pei Xu to the top caused a series of problems, then this time, even though everyone was clearly wary of Pei Xu, they still managed to put him on the throne again!
Duan Yihua’s face turned red with frustration.
Yan Zhi glanced at Huo Cheng and the others, his mood also very bad.
It’s just like playing a game and encountering a bad teammate who you can’t carry.
They must eliminate Pei Xu decisively, leaving him no chance whatsoever. Even if he is the least likely to advance, they shouldn’t vote for him! They should nip even the one in ten million chance in the bud!
This result was actually completely beyond the expectations of the production team.
Guo Bing came over when Pei Xu and Zhai Xingchen’s date ended, intending to send a guest to interrupt the smug Pei Xu. They wanted a dramatic confrontation and didn’t want Pei Xu and Zhai Xingchen’s relationship to progress so smoothly.
The most suspenseful time was when the romantic relationships were unclear, and that was when all the different pairings could flourish.
They had originally thought that Pei Xu would definitely get zero votes this time.
This result was unexpected by everyone. It was surprising, but upon reflection, it made perfect sense.
“Then Pei Xu and Zhai Xingchen will go shopping tomorrow,” Guo Bing said. “Zhai Xingchen and Pei Xu will continue to live together. Does anyone else want to move? Today is room-changing day. If you want to move, we can reassign you now.”
Everyone was in low spirits.
“Should we change it again?” Duan Yihua asked everyone.
It doesn’t seem necessary, does it? It would be too much trouble for the six of them to keep switching back and forth.
“We should move to a different house,” Yan Zhi said.
“Oh right, our room partner don’t need to be changed, but the houses should still be changed, right?” Huo Cheng suddenly realized.
At the very least, Zhai Xingchen and Pei Xu should no longer be allowed to sleep in the same bed.
His words brought Hu Ying and the others back to their senses.
Although Pei Xu had earned two more nights, the fact that one bed had become two meant he would no longer sleep with Zhai Xingchen, which was some consolation
Guo Bing said, “Isn’t it a bit late today?”
“It’s alright,” Hu Ying said. “It’s quick to change.”
“Then let’s change it.” Pei Xu, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.
Everyone glanced at Pei Xu.
Guo Bing asked with a smile, “So, how would you all like to change?”
“Let’s draw lots instead,” Duan Yihua said.
Since it was getting late, everyone was too lazy to play any more competitive games, so they simply drew lots to redistribute the houses.
Guo Bing had four slips of paper prepared for them to draw.
“Let Xingchen go first,” Huo Cheng said.
Everyone was staring at Zhai Xingchen.
Zhai Xingchen randomly picked a slip of paper, opened it, and saw that he had drawn room number four, the hotel.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the remaining people drew lots in turn.
Yan Zhi and Wen Nuo drew room number two.
Hu Ying and Lin Qingning drew room number three.
Huo Cheng and Duan Yihua drew room number one.
Hu Ying was already feeling down, and when he drew number 3, he immediately hugged his head and scratched his hair.
“Then everyone hurry up and move. It’s so cold. Once you’re done moving, go to bed early,” Guo Bing said.
This time everyone was more experienced, so each person only brought a small suitcase containing some daily necessities and underwear. They didn’t move any of the other large items, plus their own bedding and such, so they were able to move everything in one go. Therefore, this time the room change took very little time.
After changing rooms, everyone gathered briefly in room number one before heading back to rest.
“What would everyone like to eat?” Zhai Xingchen said. “Let me tell you the menu so I can buy it tomorrow.”
He first looked at Huo Cheng.
Huo Cheng said, “Whatever, I’m fine with anything. I’ll eat whatever you make.”
“You decide,” Duan Yihua said. “We trust your culinary skills.”
“This is what I’m thinking,” Zhai Xingchen said. “If no one has any special requests, we have more time tomorrow, so I’d like to cook a big meal for everyone. I’d like to make a vegetarian meat feast.”
His words indeed piqued the interest of others.
A completely vegetarian meat feast?
“So, is it a vegetarian dish or a meat dish?” Wen Nuo asked.
“It’s simple, but the design will be quite novel,” Zhai Xingchen said.
“Sure, you can decide,” Duan Yihua said.
“Where is Hu Ying?” Zhai Xingchen asked.
Hu Ying snapped out of her daze: “Hmm?”
“I’d like to cook a completely vegetarian meal tomorrow, is that okay, after all you’re a meat lover.”
Hu Ying replied listlessly, “I can eat anything.”
“Is Hu Ying not used to sleeping in room number three?” Duan Yihua suggested. “Why don’t you stay in room number one? We can squeeze in and find a place to sleep.”
Hu Ying said, “Never mind, I’ll try again.”
Everyone stood up. Hu Ying glanced at Pei Xu, and their eyes met. Pei Xu had no expression and hadn’t said much, keeping a low profile. This low profile made Hu Ying feel much better.
Huo Cheng and Duan Yihua came out to see them off. The two of them stood outside Room 1, watching the others walk away.
Of all the people, Huo Cheng was the most frustrated.
He had been regretting it ever since.
If only he hadn’t chosen Pei Xu. He had previously mocked Hu Ying for not being smart enough, but now it seemed he was the stupidest one.
He stopped at the intersection, watching Pei Xu and the others’ backs as he kicked a snowball on the roadside.
He kicked the snow away, and Duan Yihua glanced back and bit his lip.
