ALL NOVEL
Chapter 157
On the other side, Bai Yinyue arrived at the date location and saw Xia Xi across from her with a look of pleasant surprise on his face. She could hardly believe her eyes, "How can it be you?"
Xia Xi was also surprised to have been chosen by the female guest he liked through blind selection. If he wasn't the chosen one blessed by fate, then what was he? He happily bounced over, "It's me!"
Bai Yinyue was speechless, "You drew the matchstick people watching the sunrise?"
Xia Xi replied, "Yes, but it wasn't the sunrise, it was the sunset. I drew the content of our date today."
Watching the sunset over the sea from the hilltop!
Bai Yinyue didn't want to comment on his embarrassing lack of drawing skills for now. "Then who drew the guitar and piano?"
Xia Xi thought about it, "Oh, that was drawn by Cheng Yaowen."
Bai Yinyue said, "That bastard."
Xia Xi looked confused, "Why are you scolding me?"
Of course Bai Yinyue immediately realized they had been deliberately tricked by the crafty Cheng Yaowen, but seeing Xia Xi with an aggrieved puppy dog expression, she couldn't help laughing at him, "I wasn't scolding you. Never mind, let's go on the date. What have you prepared for today?"
Xia Xi's imaginary drooping ears seemed to perk up in an instant, the puppy's tail wagged happily, "I'm going to write a song for you."
Xia Xi's fans were thrilled:
[It's here, it's finally here! New songs to listen to!]
[I said this guy hasn't produced any good work in recent years because he hasn't been in love or experienced heartbreak in years! He's the kind of songwriter who needs emotional stimulation to create!]
[Miss, just take in this puppy dog, he really is an interesting and cute male dog!]
...
Xia Xi took a guitar out of his bag and slung it over his shoulder, then picked up a large basket on the ground. The basket was one that the guests had taken from the supply point when they first arrived on the island, and it could hold a lot: "Let's start today's flash camping trip!"
Bai Yinyue was confused by this novel term, "Flash camping?"
Xia Xi explained, "It means camping here for a bit, camping over there for a bit, with the main focus being impromptu camps."
Bai Yinyue was still confused, "?"
The funny man really nailed it!!!
Xia Xi gave her a look. The basket contained quite a bit of food that he had gotten up before 6am that morning to prepare in the kitchen.
He smiled brightly, showing a mouthful of white teeth, "Then every time we move to a new place, you give me a word to describe your feelings. By the end of today, I'll use the words you gave me to write a song."
It sounded strange yet intriguing at the same time.
Bai Yinyue gazed towards the other side of the island where Zhong Ruanxing had gone with Yao Jingshan earlier. However, she didn't think she needed to worry too much. Zhong Ruanxing was not the kind of weak woman who was easy to bully. She should be able to handle things.
So Bai Yinyue suppressed her concerns and went off flash camping with Xia Xi.
On the other two sides, Zhuang Xueyu, who was determined to get Cheng Yaowen, looked at Yang Ze who also seemed a bit confused, and sighed disappointedly.
Yao Jingshan didn't care who came. His purpose in coming on this show wasn't to find love anyway. Just like the netizens said, he had two ancient costume dramas to film this year, and would surely have to hype up CPs with his female co-stars, so how could he get into a real relationship now?
He just came with the same idea as everyone else, to gain some popularity and increase his exposure before the dramas aired.
Seeing that Yong Yun was quite happy, Yao Jingshan said, "Teacher Yong, you also think my underwater paradise painting was the best, right?"
Yong Yun just smiled and nodded, "Very childlike, and very interesting."
The four teams of guests started their dates for the day. After being on the island for so long, this was the first time they didn't have to work or complete tasks, and could simply go on dates. Except for the Zhong Ruanxing and Cheng Yaowen pair, the atmosphere was quite good with the other three pairs.
Cheng Yaowen was caught off guard by her game of whoever speaks first is a turtle bastard. He knew how vicious Zhong Ruanxing's mouth was. If he dared open his mouth, he was certain Zhong Ruanxing would take the opportunity to insult him with the term bastard in every sentence, right in front of the cameras and audience.
Being tricked by her like this, of course he would feel a little unhappy. But strangely, even though she had abused him in the past, Cheng Yaowen didn't feel very angry this time.
Before, he had just seen her looks and developed an interest. Like she said, it was possessiveness at work. But now, after interacting with the real her, he was slowly attracted by her lively and interesting personality. Over these days, his interest in her had only grown instead of waning. This surprised even Cheng Yaowen himself.
However, he had always been free-spirited and lazy by nature, and didn't plan on changing anything because of this. Zhong Ruanxing walked in front ignoring him, and he was perfectly content to follow along at the side.
Because of the complete lack of interaction between the two, the number of viewers in their livestream room dropped to the lowest out of all the pairs over the two hours. The production team was a little anxious but there was nothing they could do. They certainly couldn't force interactions.
When it was close to noon, the sunny cloudless weather from the morning suddenly changed drastically. Gloomy dark clouds pressed down and the wind started gusting.
The guests were familiar with the fickle weather on the island by now, but they had fixed the roof, so at least they didn't need to worry about leaks anymore this time. Worried that it would rain, the several pairs of guests had no choice but to end their dates early and head back to base.
But things were worse than they had anticipated.
The director team soon received a message from the staff: "There's a typhoon!"
The entire production crew panicked. This typhoon had come on suddenly, blowing in from another body of water. They hadn't received any weather forecasts about it previously either. They had chosen Hidden Star Island as the filming location after researching the maritime weather of the area in recent years, and found that Hidden Star Island was the only place that hadn't experienced any extreme weather in the last three years.
Who would have expected such bad luck, the first time they came here, a typhoon that hadn't appeared in three years suddenly hit!
When the guests returned to base and heard the bad news, most of them, not being from coastal cities, had never experienced a typhoon before. Xia Xi hesitantly asked, "We should be fine if we stay in the rooms right?"
A staff member explained, "Typhoons at sea are even more destructive. This base was built temporarily by us, it absolutely can't withstand a typhoon. Staying in the rooms is also very dangerous."
The vast ocean looked beautiful normally, but once enraged, its destructive power was not something humans could contend against. They were situated right in the heart of the sea. The typhoon could also bring tornadoes and huge waves. Although it probably wouldn't flood the island, it would easily blow away their small wooden hut.
Zhong Ruanxing decided firmly, "Pack up immediately, gather only the most essential items. We'll take shelter in the manor of the island owner."
Director Yan hesitated, "We're contacting the island owner now, but with so many of us..."
Zhong Ruanxing brooked no dissent, "He will agree. We need to pack up right now and head to the manor at the fastest speed. If the typhoon hits while we're halfway there, the consequences would be very serious."
Director Yan's expression hardened as he understood her meaning, and immediately instructed, "Cut the livestream. Everyone take your own luggage and set off now!"
