Chapter 52
After the rooms were assigned, everyone went on a tour together.
First was Ling Han’s single room.
The width of the room was just enough for an adult male to spread his arms. The narrow single bed was pressed against the wall on one side, and on the other was a narrow walkway. It couldn’t even fit a normal table. There was only a folding table in the corner. The remaining space was occupied by a clothes rack, probably a simple version of a wardrobe.
There was a window above the head of the bed with security bars. The lighting was average, giving it a bit of a prison-like feel.
Tu Bu timely introduced, “The choice of rooms is very fair. The single room is not necessarily the best~”
But Zong Mo sincerely lamented, “I think it’s quite good. This room looks very secure.”
He really wanted to stay in the single room!
If he lived in a room where it was difficult to even find a place to stand, he didn’t believe these people would still have a way to make a battlefield out of him.
Ling Han: …?
Ling Han was not a person with a natural talent for comedy, but he was always passively shrouded by the god of variety shows.
The bullet comments were a sea of “hahahaha”:
【Hahahaha, the story of the bickering couple, Mo Mo and Ling Han, has begun again.】
【Ling Han is the group’s punching bag, confirmed!】
【Are the script marks in this season a bit too heavy, hhh】
Next was the double room with a large bed, which Zong Mo was most concerned about.
The double room was several times larger than the single room. A large double bed was placed in the center of the room, and the floor was covered with a soft carpet. A huge floor-to-ceiling window, which opened to an open-air balcony, offered a 180-degree view of the beautiful sea.
The bed was reasonably large. Two people sleeping in it wouldn’t have to be pressed against each other.
But, why was the bed round, and why was there a circle of red gauze hanging around it?
Was this a honeymoon suite or a bridal chamber?
Zong Mo: …
He forced himself to calm down and look again. The bathroom wall facing the bed was frosted glass. By the floor-to-ceiling window was a large bathtub with a sea view.
He had also found a bathtub on the balcony of the sea-view apartment in City B last time. Unfortunately, he hadn’t had time to do anything before they had to rush back to City A because of Ruan Chi’s work.
But now, such a room belonged to Ruan Chi and Lu Bo.
Zong Mo covered his forehead, his mind in a mess. He didn’t even have the mood to think about whether their CP fans were setting off firecrackers in the bullet comments.
The quality of the double room and the single room was a world apart. Qi Zhiyi curiously looked around and lamented, “This room is so big, and the bed is also very big. It feels like three people could live here.”
Zong Mo was pulled back to reality by his words.
No, absolutely not.
Finally, it was the three-person room for Zong Mo and the twins. It had a more ordinary hotel decoration, with a large wardrobe, a sofa, and a coffee table, but there were only two single beds, both of a common standard room size.
According to the tropes of variety shows, when faced with a situation of one less bed, a scapegoat would be chosen to sleep on the floor.
Only two beds was not a big problem, but…
While Tu Bu was still there, Zong Mo quickly asked, “Director Tu, does this three-person room only have two beds and two quilts?”
“These two beds are both 1.2 meters wide, and the quilts are also large. Squeezing in, four people can live here,” Tu Bu said.
Zong Mo: …
Right, he had forgotten that the twins had slept together in the Green Cabin. Of course, they could also sleep in one bed this time. The other bed would be left for him, who was upholding his male virtue.
When he watched the recorded version of Field Diary, he had noticed that the bullet comments were very happy to see the two brothers sleeping in the same quilt, their excitement no less than that of the Dyeing Vat CP fans when they saw him and CEO Ruan living in the small cabin.
Zong Mo decided to give the twins’ fans some benefits.
But Qi Zhiyi spoke before him, “Ge, Little Mo, let’s push the two beds together. It will be more spacious.”
Zong Mo: ?
Qi Nanfeng let out a “mm” and immediately took action.
The beds were light, probably of poor quality, and were easily pushed together.
Two became one, turning into a 2.4-meter super-large bed, very suitable for a threesome.
After dinner, they returned to their respective rooms. Qi Nanfeng suggested, “Let’s turn off the live stream? I’m going to take a shower.”
Turn off the live stream? What would happen after the live stream was turned off?
Absolutely not.
Zong Mo quickly stopped him, “Let’s turn it off when we sleep. We can cover it with clothes first.”
As he spoke, he took his own clothes and covered all the cameras. Although he had personally turned off the lights, the sound was still there. The bullet comments in the dark live stream room were constantly refreshing.
【Ahhh, why cover the camera!】
【The bathroom is in the bedroom, not outside. If it’s not covered, Nan Nan will definitely turn off the live stream (shrugs)】
【Holy shit, thank you, Zong Mo. I can personally listen to Nan Nan’s shower, hehe】
“Mm, that works too,” Qi Nanfeng nodded and said faintly, “Then I’ll just change my clothes in the room.”
Zong Mo: …
Wait, why did turning off the lights have this additional effect?
He had indeed been curious about the physiques of Gongs #1, 3, 4, and 5. By now, that curiosity had mostly dissipated, and a part of it was fear.
However, coming to the seaside for vacation would inevitably involve taking off clothes and going into the water. He would have to get used to it sooner or later.
Zong Mo, while nonchalantly pretending to be a straight man, tried hard to recall, filling his mind with Ruan Chi in various poses.
And then he suddenly thought…
Ruan Chi and Lu Bo also have to shower, right?
Zong Mo couldn’t control his expression. Qi Zhiyi noticed his strangeness and asked with concern, “What’s wrong?”
He turned his attention back to the present. Listening to the sound of Qi Nanfeng’s shower, while being alone in a hotel-like room with Qi Zhiyi.
…He should probably consider his own safety first.
“You’re very quiet today,” Qi Zhiyi said.
Zong Mo thought to himself: Firstly, we’re not that familiar. Secondly, I’m afraid you’ll team up to top me.
Even if the live stream wasn’t on, he couldn’t say it. Zong Mo fudged it, “Mm, I’m a little sleepy.”
“Mm,” Qi Zhiyi blinked his eyes. “Then you sleep first? I also have to take a shower before I sleep. I won’t disturb you, right?”
“No, my sleep quality is quite good.”
Qi Zhiyi squinted and smiled, “Hmm~ I’ve noticed.”
Zong Mo: …
How did you notice?
Did you notice after watching CEO Ruan’s small cabin wake-up service?
Qi Zhiyi added, “Then you sleep in the middle?”
Zong Mo was stunned and subconsciously asked, “…Why?”
“You don’t want to sleep in the middle?” Qi Zhiyi showed a troubled expression. “There’s a seam in the middle of the two beds, and it will be a little sunken. I have a back injury, so it might not be comfortable to sleep there.”
Zong Mo: …
Could he refuse this? Qi Zhiyi had already exposed his old injury in the live stream. Qi Nan also had a leg injury. If he didn’t agree, he would definitely be mobbed by the mother fans.
Habitually taking care of others and not wanting to be scolded, Zong Mo had no choice but to nod, “Mm… then I’ll sleep in the middle.”
Qi Zhiyi smiled brightly, “Great. I really don’t want to squeeze in with my brother again.”
Zong Mo thought to himself: I don’t really want to squeeze in with you guys either.
Who could he blame? The three of them were the leftovers. If anyone was to blame, it was Ling Han for snatching the single room before him. If anyone was to blame, it was Lu Bo for snatching the other bed in the double room.
Why on earth did Lu Bo want to stay in the double room with Ruan Chi?
Although the novel from “Green JJ” couldn’t have an incest plot, Zong Mo was uneasy and couldn’t relax.
Seeing Zong Mo was distracted, Qi Zhiyi suddenly spoke, “I’ve always been envious of my brother.”
Zong Mo was stunned and looked over in confusion, not knowing if he was talking to himself or to him.
“Although we are identical twins, he is smarter than me,” Qi Zhiyi continued. “He also has more fans than me!”
Zong Mo: …
He glanced at the camera covered by clothes, then at Qi Zhiyi, and gestured with his eyes in a panic: The live stream is still on.
Qi Zhiyi stood up and uncovered all the cameras one by one, smiling, “There’s nothing that can’t be broadcast.”
The live stream room was bright again, and the bullet comments scrolled even more enthusiastically.
【Was there anything that couldn’t be broadcast when the screen was black?】
【You guys in front, be a little cleaner. They were just chatting with their clothes on.】
【Nan Nan probably doesn’t know the camera is on yet. I guess he’ll come out in a bath towel, hehehe】
【Wuwuwu, Zhi Zhi, you are mama’s only favorite cub! You’re the best! Nan Nan is just an afterthought!!】
Zong Mo was not yet used to being a public figure. He suddenly felt like he was at a press conference, being surrounded and interviewed by reporters, as seen on TV.
One wrong word, and every word is wrong.
He was still thinking about how to answer when Qi Zhiyi attacked again, “And people say my brother is more handsome!”
Zong Mo: …
How could he answer that?
Because of these words, he looked at Qi Zhiyi seriously for a while, let out an “eh,” and said sincerely, “You two do look a little different.”
Qi Zhiyi leaned in and said excitedly, “Where are we different?”
“Your eye color is lighter, and your face is a little rounder,” Zong Mo said. “So you look very good when you smile, and cuter.”
Qi Zhiyi smiled even more brilliantly, his eyes sparkling.
To avoid becoming the culprit who drove a wedge between the two brothers, Zong Mo thought hard for a while and tried to praise him with words that had nothing to do with Qi Nanfeng, “You’re very cheerful. Cheerful people are usually very popular.”
But Qi Zhiyi shook his head with a smile, “The more popular one is actually my brother.”
Qi Zhiyi didn’t make Zong Mo answer this difficult question and added, “I think you’re also very cheerful.”
Zong Mo: ?
Why did he feel that there was a hidden meaning in Qi Zhiyi’s words, that he was saying he was very popular?
It was probably his illusion. Because of the months of fighting wits and courage with Gongs #1 and #2, he had become paranoid.
“I’m not very cheerful,” Zong Mo refused this praise, and was also telling the truth. “If there’s nothing to do, I can stay at home for weeks without going out.”
“Hmm~” Qi Zhiyi nodded. “Then our personalities are very complementary?”
Zong Mo: …
It was definitely not because he had said something wrong, but because of the main shou script he was holding.
He should probably say a few words less.
Qi Zhiyi sized him up and spoke again, “Little Mo, the… on your arm, is it a burn?”
Zong Mo was slightly stunned and looked at the inner side of his left arm.
After entering June, he had switched to short sleeves, but the scar was already very faint. He had long been used to it and hadn’t paid much attention to it even though he saw it every day.
Speaking of which, back in winter, Ruan Chi had often seen this scar but had never mentioned it.
Perhaps he didn’t care, which also showed that he was not familiar with the main shou‘s body and didn’t know the difference between him and the main shou.
Zong Mo calmed his suddenly fluctuating mood and came back to his senses, saying, “Mm, I got it when I was a child.”
Qi Zhiyi asked, “How old were you?”
Zong Mo: “About seven or eight.”
Qi Zhiyi moved closer again and measured the upper part of his forearm with his thumb and index finger, “Although it doesn’t look like much now… but for such a large piece to be burned on a child, and for the scar to remain until now, it must have been very painful at the time.”
Zong Mo was stunned for a long time, not quite used to this kind of meticulous care. He touched his hair to ease the awkwardness and said, “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”
Qi Zhiyi smiled warmly and sincerely, “We all have some old injuries on our bodies. We can be considered to be in the same boat.”
Zong Mo: …
The old burn would no longer hurt, but the back and leg injuries of the two former singing and dancing singers could recur.
And Qi Zhiyi was so concerned about him. Now he had even less reason to refuse to sleep in the middle.
Just then, with a click, Qi Nanfeng had already finished his shower in just over ten minutes. He came out of the bathroom fully dressed and interrupted their conversation, “Zhiyi, you go and wash.”
