“Hello! It’s a pleasure to meet you both!” Yun Liu politely greeted them. “I really like your songs.”

Yan Tang frowned slightly. “You like them? You’ve heard our songs?”

Yun Liu was slightly embarrassed and hurriedly answered, “Yes, my brother is a music enthusiast. I often hear Mr. Xiao Zhao and your songs playing at his place.”

Xiao Zhao nudged Yan Tang and smiled as he stated, “Then, if you get the chance, feel free to invite your brother over as a guest.” Yun Liu sighed in relief and returned Xiao Zhao’s smile.

The four participants took her to get her rooming arrangement sorted out and gave her a tour of the residence. Yun Liu carefully responded to them and seemed a little restrained.

Yun Liu was very unfamiliar with the living conditions in the countryside. She behaved like a wealthy child from the city and showed fear towards the chickens, ducks, geese, horses, cows, and sheep. She was cute but not annoying. Moreover, she got herself into silly and funny situations because she didn’t understand or recognize many things in the countryside.

At this time, the other two members who had gone out for a walk returned. After they introduced themselves, Yun Liu learned that one of them was the national master sculptor, Ji Fei, and the other—a graceful and competent-looking middle-aged woman—was Ms. Hai Hua, who worked in venture capital.

Yun Liu had learned her lesson this time and didn’t try to bond with them rashly. She only briefly introduced herself. Ji Fei replied with a smile; as an artist, he wasn’t a talkative person. Hai Hua candidly greeted Yun Liu, “Nice to meet you.” The atmosphere was quite harmonious, and Yun Liu’s nerves settled.

“We’re still one person short. Where’s our last teammate?” Xiao Zhao raised his voice and asked the production crew. “Just look at the time! Why aren’t they here yet?”

“Let’s familiarize ourselves with this place first. We’ll be living here for quite some time, so we have to treat this place as our home. You can all go and do as you please; there’s no need to wait for our missing member. They’ve encountered some problems on the way here, so they’ll arrive a little later,” the director answered.

“Can you tell us who our mysterious member is?” Hai Hua joked. The production crew pretended to be busy, and no one responded.

Si Kun chuckled, “Looks like they want to surprise us! Oh well. We’ll take things as they come. Let’s have a look around and then prepare dinner. Food is the most important thing, isn’t it?” Everyone agreed in unison.

The others looked after Yun Liu because she was the youngest among them. This was undoubtedly very beneficial to the image that Yun Liu wanted to establish. Yun Liu felt she should be able to make a comeback with this variety show.

When it was time to cook dinner, everyone had already divided the work. Unexpectedly, Si Kun and Xiao Zhao were the best chefs in the group, so they would take the role of head chefs while the others would help out and do odd jobs according to their abilities.

“I can make noodles and soup, but I can’t really cook,” Mai Fen stated with a smile.

Yan Tang artistically added, “I can’t even do that. I’m only good at eating!”

Hai Hua also smiled. “I’m good at boiling water!” she shared, and everyone laughed.

Ji Fei adjusted his glasses and told the group, “I can wash and peel vegetables. I can also clean.”

Yun Liu looked helpless and embarrassed as she revealed, “I’m not good at anything.”

“Dear me. All of your seniors here can at least name one thing we’re good at. You, young lady, I can tell at a glance you haven’t done much physical work nor do you have any agricultural knowledge. Us women here are already outclassed by the men, but you’re an even greater disappointment than us,” Hai Hua good-heartedly teased. “No worries, you can just stand by and watch. All you have to do is wait for the food,” she uttered frankly, feeling rather protective toward Yun Liu. Yun Liu sweetly expressed her gratitude, attracting attention with her looks and actions.

Suddenly, there was activity outside the door. The production crew told them the last member had finally arrived. “Hello, everyone! I’m sorry I’m late!” The group heard their mystery member say with a voice that was crisp and pleasant to the ear, filled with energy and enthusiasm.

Yun Liu froze. She didn’t need to look outside like the others; she could tell from her voice that it was Shi Xiu! Yun Liu’s mood soured, and every inch of her body—from her hair to her toenails—rejected her current situation.

Shi Xiu dragged two large suitcases into the courtyard, and those who weren’t busy went out to welcome her. Shi Xiu introduced herself, and so did everyone else. Shi Xiu bowed to everyone and said, “Hello! It’s a pleasure to meet you all.” She was as well-behaved as a schoolchild and looked like a student, giving others a good impression of her.

“Mr. Si Kun and Mr. Xiao Zhao are cooking in the kitchen, so you’ll have to go there to meet them,” Hai Hua informed her with a smile.

“Okay!” Shi Xiu agreed and walked towards the back.. She saw Yun Liu when she looked up, and before Yun Liu could say anything, she exclaimed, “Yun Liu, why are you here?”
