"Zhi Zhi, there are no buildings or directions at sea, how do you find your way back?" Mrs. Qin asked curiously.
"In the past, it was by observing celestial bodies and using a compass," Gu Zhi replied with a smile. "Nowadays, it's satellite positioning, so you can find your way home no matter where you are."
"Really? That's amazing." Mrs. Qin looked intrigued.
Gu Zhi thought, it was just her and the original host who could never find their way back home.
Gu Zhi then took a photo of the two of them and a group shot of all three, forwarding it to the show's team as a check-in and also posted a business photo on the original host's Weibo.
Quickly, new comments appeared, and the atmosphere in the comments under this Weibo was much better than before.
"Ahhh, hubby is so handsome, stop ranking up and come to me!"
"Excuse me, should I directly call you father-in-law and mother-in-law?"
"From today on, I am a career fan of Gu Zhi's, is there a fan club?"
There were also anti-fans causing trouble:
"The rustic finally experienced the life of the wealthy once thanks to the show/So happy."
Gu Zhi usually ignored such comments, providing one-stop service of reporting and deleting.
When Gu Zhi put away her phone and looked up, she saw that the sun opposite was about to set on the horizon, layering fiery red light over the blue sea.
Gu Zhi was slightly startled and pointed out, "There's a sunset over there."
Father and Mrs. Qin turned to look and were amazed by the scene, exclaiming, "It's really beautiful!"
The sunlight on the sea shimmered like gold along with the waves.
This was the first time they had seen such a view in their lifetime.
So beautiful it's indescribable, splendid like fireworks and so fleeting, immensely precious.
Gu Zhi said, "Let me take a picture for you."
The live stream camera also turned toward the sunset, and netizens hurriedly took screenshots to keep as mementos.
[Wow, it's so beautiful, I really want to go see it, sob sob sob.]
[Suddenly, I understand the meaning of this show; the most beautiful thing in life is a trip with family.]
[Honey, go stand over there, I want to take a picture of you too, ahahaha!]
On the return journey, the three families gathered together, and indeed, the show crew sent a luxury car for pickup, the typical Rolls-Royce fit for a CEO.
Even their introduction had a sense of immersion: "The seaside candlelight dinner banquet for all the ladies and madams has been prepared. Would you like to dine separately or together?"
Gu Zhi and Jiang Xiangwan had no opinions on this, so Sun Chaohua said, "Then let's eat together, it's livelier with everyone here."
"Alright, I'll notify them to arrange it."
Gu Zhi thought for a moment and reminded seriously, "Don't forget the portions should be the same, eating together doesn't mean you can skimp on the servings."
The director's team: "..."
Is it necessary to be so meticulous?
Do we really look like stingy people?
[Hahahahaha Gu Zhi completely understood Director Chen's mind, thank goodness she blocked the unscrupulous director's escape route in advance.]
[Well done, if we don't feast heartily on them, today's hard work would be in vain.]
[Honestly, before this, I really thought this program group was stingy, never seen one like it, but now... just these three cars cost a lot to rent, right? And the seaside restaurant they're going to, I checked the prices, it's a five-digit per head! It's not stingy after all, but for the families who didn't complete the task, they're really stingy hahaha, they're riding local residents' tricycles!]
[Tsk, some families from humble beginnings are really penny-pinching, not letting go of even a small advantage.]
There were always some discordant voices in the live bullet comments, but no one paid attention.
The three families directly arrived at the seaside restaurant.
By then, the sun had already set, leaving only the afterglow of dusk.
The sound of gentle puffs from the sea breeze lifting the waves was peaceful and wonderful.
The long table covered with white cloth was adorned with flowers and candles, making it extremely romantic.
It was the first time Father and Mrs. Qin had seen such a setting, continuously exclaiming in praise, while Gu Zhi held their hands, walking on the soft sand to feel the sea breeze blowing against them.
Jiang Xiangwan excitedly ran over, "Sister Zhi Zhi, let me take pictures of you guys, my photography skills are great."
"Sure, let's take some together."
"Include me, include me," Sun Chaohua came along with his parents to join in the fun, joking, "I'm the worst at taking pictures, haven't taken a single good one today, my mom even calls me a straight man."
"Hahaha, Brother Sun, I'll edit them for you later!"
Sun Chaohua nodded without hesitation, "Sure! I'll send you the photos later."
The three families took quite a few group photos by the seaside, enjoying harmonious interactions.
Once seated, the staff brought up one exquisite and tempting dish after another, the aroma filling the air.
Jiang Xiangwan, who somehow found a bunch of sea snails, handed them to Gu Zhi, "Sister Zhi Zhi, these are for you! I'll find more shells later to make you a necklace."
Gu Zhi was somewhat surprised, curling her lips slightly, "Thank you."
Livestream viewers began frantically taking screenshots.
[Waaaa, the sauce CP is so sweet, here comes the token of love!]
[The atmosphere here is really nice, maybe just invite these three families for the show, I could watch them forever.]
[Feeling a bit teary, our Zhi Zhi has finally made her first friend within the industry, sob sob sob, she's obviously a hardworking and kind girl.]
Meanwhile, the three families had returned to the villa by the program group's arranged local resident tricycles.
Since they didn't complete their task, they not only couldn't enjoy the dinner provided by the show crew, but the rooms were also unchanged, remaining the same as the previous night.
Mr. and Gu Mu left in anger once they found an excuse.
Gu Yiyi, having to maintain her image, could only stay behind, leaving only a few of them in the villa, with Han Mu voluntarily taking on the cooking duty.
However, Han Mu had never cooked before; she even burnt the eggs she tried to fry, making Han Liheng's stomach growl as he watched in despair, "Mom, maybe you should stop; I'd rather be hungry than have an upset stomach."
Han Mu snorted, putting down the pan, "Then do it yourself, or just stay hungry!"
Han Liheng opened Gu Zhi's livestream, glancing several times longingly, "I miss Aunt Qin's cooking. When will they be back?"
As a result, the audience in Gu Zhi's livestream saw 'Han Liheng joined the livestream.'
[Hahahahaha the dummy is here!]
[I'm dying of laughter, Brother Burger's been chanting in his own livestream for Mrs. Qin to hurry back, missing her food, this kid is already starving silly.]
[Han Liheng actually dares to enter this side's livestream? It's full of gourmet food, isn't he afraid of torturing himself? I'm hungry just watching it.]
In the room, Gu Yiyi was also secretly watching Gu Zhi's livestream.
In the past two days, Gu Zhi's livestream had transformed from being filled with haters to becoming the domain of casual fans, and the number of viewers had increased severalfold.
While they were enjoying a romantic candlelight dinner, she could only stay hungry and watch secretly from her room.
Gu Yiyi's face looked increasingly unpleasant.
It was only her manager's message reminding her to watch her image that snapped her out of it. She quickly put away her phone and plastered a smile back onto her face.
[At this moment, I seem to get Gu Yiyi's acting skills.]
