Chapter 32: Title
Gu Feng thought for a moment and said, "You mean… if we look at the costs, it’s hard to say about the bookstore and the cinema, but the dance hall must have the highest expenses."
Song Yutian nodded, "Yes. Let’s first check if this attraction has a dance hall and where it is."
Gu Feng used the program group’s phone to search and found that the whole area didn’t have a traditional "dance hall." However, there was a place that matched the woman’s description of somewhere to "listen to music and dance," which was a music restaurant.
So, the two decided to go check it out.
Song Yutian and Gu Feng followed the navigation to the restaurant, and this time, when they entered, another "NPC" greeted them.
The person’s outfit was just like the other waiters in the restaurant, but there was a microphone pinned to his shirt, showing he was from the program group.
The waiter said, "Welcome to Xianlem Music Restaurant. May I ask if you two confirm that you want to enter this restaurant? Once you enter, you cannot turn back."
Song Yutian glanced at Gu Feng and, seeing that he had no objections, nodded at the waiter.
The waiter said, "Alright, welcome! You both look tired from your travels, so our restaurant has specially prepared new clothes for you. Please follow me."
Clearly, the restaurant wouldn’t prepare outfits for guests, so it was definitely arranged by the program group.
Although they did not know the purpose of the program group, changing clothes was not a big deal, so the two of them followed the waiter to a nearby RV without much hesitation.
The waiter first invited Gu Feng into the car.
Three minutes later, Gu Feng had changed his clothes.
It was summer, and Gu Feng had originally been wearing a khaki shirt; now he was dressed in a complete gray suit.
Song Yutian looked him over. I have to say, as the "male lead," Gu Feng’s appearance is quite remarkable; he looks great in his suit.
Feeling Song Yutian’s gaze on him, Gu Feng felt strangely uneasy.
Many viewers in the live stream were posting "So handsome."
However, Gu Feng had appeared in a suit right from the start of the show, so the audience’s reaction was not too strong.
Next, it was Song Yutian’s turn.
Entering the RV, Song Yutian saw a simple clothes rack in front of her, with a men’s suit and three dresses hanging on it, along with a few pairs of matching shoes placed below.
It seemed she could only choose one dress from these three.
Song Yutian glanced at the dresses. The first one was a red spaghetti strap gown, the second was a white chiffon dress; both were long skirts with a flowing design and slits—one was sexy, and the other was ethereal.
Song Yutian’s gaze lingered on the third dress..
Three minutes later, Song Yutian stepped out of the car.
Hearing the sound, Gu Feng wanted to pretend he didn’t care and only take a look. However, when he caught sight of a fair, little leg and a black skirt, his gaze was drawn to her without him realizing it.
This was Song Yutian’s first time wearing a dress on the show.
It was a black halter dress, with a small V-neck in the front that revealed the graceful curve of her neck and collarbones. The dress fit her body perfectly, accentuating her curves. The hem was short enough to show her slender legs.
Gu Feng pressed his lips together, trying to casually look away, but the next moment, his gaze was drawn back to her.
Because as Song Yutian stepped out of the car, Gu Feng noticed that the dress had an open-back design.
The black fabric hugged her waist perfectly, exposing almost her entire back. Her back was smooth and white, with the shape of her shoulder blades looking as if it had been carefully sculpted.
Gu Feng was momentarily stunned, and with a close-up from the camera, the viewers in the live stream also stared in amazement.
[Wow, does Song Yutian have such a great figure?!]
[Oh my, I just want to know what the stylist was thinking. Why didn’t they show off this figure sooner?]
[Sister Song looks stunning in that backless dress! So beautiful!]
[Ahhh, as a girl, I’m completely mesmerized! I’m about to become a fan!]
Most of the people who disliked Song Yutian were no longer here. After all, very few would watch someone they dislike for several hours. Plus, Song Yutian’s fan base was quite small.
So, the current live stream was almost a true reflection of ordinary viewers’ reactions.
The entire live stream was filled with compliments and amazed comments.
The waiter’s voice sounded again, and Gu Feng and the audience finally remembered what to do next.
"On behalf of the restaurant, I welcome both of you. Please enjoy our restaurant’s signature couples’ meal." The waiter bowed slightly and extended his hand in a standard inviting gesture.
Song Yutian and Gu Feng walked through the hall guided by a waiter and arrived at a semi-enclosed booth with partitions. It was much quieter here compared to the hall, but they could still easily see outside.
This music restaurant focuses on creating a special atmosphere, where customers can listen to music and watch performances while they eat. In the center of the restaurant is an oval-shaped, golden dance floor, and next to it is a small stage where a singer is currently performing.
Just as a song ended, the guests applauded and cheered, creating a lively scene. So, when Song Yutian and Gu Feng entered, even though there were cameras around, they did not attract much attention.
Once they were seated, another waitress came with the food. She brought several small pieces of bread and butter, along with two drinks.
The waitress was a young woman. Song Yutian thought she looked somewhat familiar, and before she could recognize her properly, the woman spoke up.
"Congratulations to you both for finding this place; you are just one step away from today’s ultimate treasure."
The voice was very familiar. Song Yutian recalled that this was the other staff member who had sat next to the director during her interview on the first day.
The staff member continued with a smile, "Here are the bread and drinks for you to enjoy. While we wait for the chef to prepare the main course, we will conduct a little test of your teamwork."
A test of understanding? Song Yutian thought. What kind of understanding could she and Gu Feng have?
At the same time, Gu Feng scoffed. "Hah, what kind of understanding could I have with her?"
Gu Feng looked at Song Yutian as he said this, as if he was intentionally speaking to her or perhaps to the audience.
Hearing this, Song Yutian couldn’t help but laugh. She suddenly felt that their mutual dislike could be considered a unique kind of understanding in the whole show.
When Gu Feng heard the laughter and met Song Yutian’s gaze, he felt strangely guilty.
The staff member had excellent professionalism, her smile unwavering. "Today marks the third day you two have been teammates. How could you possibly have no understanding at all? Alright, let’s begin."
After she finished speaking, she handed each of them a question board and a pen.
"This test of understanding has a total of ten questions, with a full score of one hundred points," said the staff member. "The rule is that both of you write down your answers to the same question and show them together. If the answers match, you get ten points; if not, you get zero."
"What will the scores on this test affect?" Song Yutian asked.
The staff member smiled and said, "The scores will not affect today’s match result, but they will be linked to the priority choice for team selection later!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Feng immediately asked, "Does a high score mean I can choose my teammates first?"
The staff member smiled but said nothing.
Gu Feng, who had looked tired since coming out of the mahjong parlor, finally seemed to perk up.
Gu Feng thought to himself, Great! After tonight, I can change teammates. I can finally get away from Song Yutian, and all the feelings caused by her will disappear. Everything will go back to normal.
Also, as long as I get a high score, I can be on the same team as Moying.
"You better not hold me back," Gu Feng said to Song Yutian.
Song Yutian ignored Gu Feng and asked the staff member, "As long as the answers of the two people are similar, we can score, right? There are no other restrictions?"
The staff member nodded at first, then thought for a moment and added, "The answers must accurately answer the questions, and pre-arranging the answers won’t work."
The original idea was revealed, but Song Yutian didn’t care. She thought for a moment and said to Gu Feng, "You can answer, and I’ll guess your answer."
Gu Feng instinctively replied, "If that’s the case, why don’t I guess you instead?"
Song Yutian rolled her eyes and swallowed her doubts about Gu Feng’s intelligence. She replied, "Do you think you understand me well?"
So, do you understand me? This question popped into Gu Feng’s mind almost immediately.
However, he opened his mouth but didn’t ask that question. Perhaps it was because he suddenly remembered a previous business dinner, where this woman boasted about her achievements just to show her interest in him.
Or maybe he thought about how before the show, she had created countless "coincidences" to meet him, even following him to the bar he often went to with friends.
In the past, Gu Feng felt extremely annoyed. But now, looking back, he surprisingly felt a vague sense of joy rising in his heart.
Song Yutian’s voice pulled Gu Feng back to reality. "So, I’ll guess you, okay?"
The woman’s voice was pleasant but cold, and her expression showed no friendliness at all. She was completely different from the Song Yutian who used to chase after him.
What makes a person change so much? Is it really because they have a new goal, so they don’t care anymore?
Gu Feng couldn’t help but guess in his heart, but he lowered his voice and responded coldly, "Sure."
A staff member’s cheerful voice felt out of place with the tense atmosphere. "Are you two ready? Then let’s begin!"
Both of them nodded at the same time.
"First, the first question—after two and a half days of teamwork, did you both enjoy it?"
After hearing the question, Song Yutian thought for less than a second and started writing her answer on the board.
Gu Feng’s attention was drawn to the sound of Song Yutian’s pen writing. He looked up at Song Yutian with dissatisfaction, thinking: Didn’t we agree to guess his thoughts? How is she writing faster than me?
However, after pondering for a few seconds, Gu Feng also began to write.
Once they both finished writing, the staff member said, "On my count, please show your answer boards together. Three, two—"
From the moment the staff began to ask questions, the audience in the live room started to analyze.
["The first question is indeed an easy one; just answer happily!"]
["Is it really that easy? I feel like the answer might not be certain."]
["A regular group would definitely answer happily, but this group is not just any group."]
["I bet fifty cents that both of them won’t answer happily, hahaha."]
Besides the analyzing audience, there were many engaged viewers answering questions simultaneously, and the bullet comments filled the live room.
As the staff counted to one, both participants revealed their answer boards at the same time, and the answers matched perfectly.
