Chapter 24 - Heavenly Location

Half an hour later.

The black van pulled up at the Xiang manor's entrance.

The staff members were all in position as they transferred the stream footage from that of the car door into the Xiang family gate.

The black wrought-iron gate that was covered in roses and vines slowly opened, urging the early summer breeze to brush the petals down. It was breathtakingly beautiful on camera.

As they headed forward, they entered a garden akin to Alice's Wonderland, full of lush greenery and flowers. The sound of a flowing fountain could be heard from afar as white pigeons flew by. With the villa as a backdrop, the scene formed a perfect composition.

The netizens were startled. [This… What idol drama was this scene from?]

Did the crew find a mansion to film at?

The audience was startled once again. They didn't care much though; even if they had never eaten pork, they had seen a pig run. Don't all standard male protagonists in dramas come with a mansion, a pool, and a fountain?

In the next instant—

The camera switched its focus toward an endless vegetable field.

—[Huh???]

—[I'm going blind? Are those vegetables??]

—[I think I see wheat and r.a.p.eseed??]

—[Is that a farm? There are cows and wild boar, too??]

—[There's a pond, too! And a greenhouse! And a glass observatory! Oh! My! God!]

All the netizens who'd thought the location was just a villa were beyond shocked!

Land, vegetables, fish, and poultry—this satisfied the pastoral and cottage core dreams of countless people!

A manor, a garden, and a fountain... This also satisfied the luxurious dreams of countless people!

Yet at this moment, both of these were magically combined into one!

The stream had only been live for half an hour, but everyone was already looking forward to the content that would follow.

Isn't it amazing to pick some fruits from the fields?

Even if they did nothing and just lied on the floor, it would feel amazing!

—[Thank you, production crew, for letting me experience the lifestyle of the rich]

—[Does this count as me living in a luxurious mansion even if it's online? I can only say one thing…"Two Under One Roof" has my respect; Director Li has my respect!]

—[I'm on my knees omg, how did the production crew find such a heavenly film location?! How will the other variety shows compete 2333*]

At the Muyao Headquarters.

Director Chen's expression could no longer be described by the word 'ugly'.

His pupils were dilated as he begrudgingly looked at the screen.

How could it be...

A place like this existed south of the city? How has he never heard of it? And why did Li Jianyu find it and not him?!

He suddenly realized that with "Two Under One Roof" as a standard, the supposed 'bamboo sea' on tomorrow's live broadcast for "Heartbeat" would seem like a joke!

Li Jianyu understood the netizen's psyche very well, so he allowed Shi Sui to walk around the manor under the guise of 'getting to know the environment'. Everyone in the comments was hooked.

"It's almost time to go back." Shi Sui slightly nudged his gold-rimmed glasses, speaking in a s.e.xy, gentle voice. "Miss Xiang Yi is still waiting for us."

The comment section immediately became visibly hostile to the n.a.k.e.d eye.

—[So annoying, nobody wants to see her, okay?]

—[What is there to see but a vase fairy? I'd rather look at the garden. Please, I am begging on my knees for Shi Yingdi to make another trip around the garden!]

—[Gege, this woman is not worthy to be filming a show with you, please wake up!]

—[The female with the surname X is really badass, who knows how much money she had paid to be on this show with Shi Sui]

—[Bleh, there's no way it's her own money anyway. She probably slept with some rich daddies and got everything she needed]

—[Director-san, if you dare to turn the lens on Xiang Yi for one second, I will leave the stream and never watch your show again!!]
