In the small house next to the castle, Director Liu looked at the monitor and was in disbelief.
The assistant director next to him was already laughing like crazy: "Hahaha, there is a 1/16 chance of being drawn by him. Is he possessed by the God of Desolation? Hahaha..."
Director Liu couldn't laugh or cry: "I put that option in just to make up the numbers and to raise the expectations of the guests. I haven't even rehearsed it carefully. What should I do?"
Indeed, with a probability of 1 in 16, no one thinks that anyone can just draw it.
"There's nothing we can do," the assistant director said, "tell the actors the key points again and rehearse them temporarily. I have a hunch that the effect this time will come out will be quite good, hahaha!"
The director team was laughing happily, but Cheng Xi was not happy at all.
He looked at the motionless pointer under his hand, then at the other guests who were suppressing laughter until their shoulders were shaking, and finally his eyes fell on the man next to him.
Tao Shiyan still had that indifferent expression, but if you look closely, you can see that the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and there was still a smile at the end of his eyes that had not faded in time.
...laugh at your sister!!!
Cheng Xi had the urge to give up his job, and the mysterious prize he had agreed to was to allow him to continue doing tasks. There was no hint of a reward, it was clearly a punishment!
And asking him and Tao Shiyan to play Baron Karl and Alice - a couple, is no different than killing him!
Absolutely impossible!
He raised his hand stubbornly again: "Can I not want the reward?"
"Yes," Baron Karl said, "but if the task is triggered but not completed, 10 points will be deducted from each person in Group C."
Cheng Xi: "...The reward is only given to me. Why deduct points for two people?"
"Because the task is assigned to you two~"
Cheng Xi was completely speechless. It didn't matter that he deducted points, but he didn't want to implicate other people.
Especially this person is his enemy.
At this time, Tao Shiyan suddenly said: "I give up the mission."
Cheng Xi: "?"
What do you mean, you don’t want to act with him?
Zhao Xiaotao, who was watching the excitement from the outside, had a buzzing sound in his head. He knew the character of his ancestors too well, so he could only brush it off and couldn't bear to face him.
Sure enough, Cheng Xi smiled and turned to Tao Shiyan, "Points will be deducted for giving up the task."
Tao Shiyan: "You don't want to deduct it?"
"In no mood."
"Okay," Tao Shiyan said, "I'll do the task."
Cheng Xi was confused for a moment when the other party changed his mind so quickly. By the time he reacted, Alice and a group of maids had already pushed him into the castle.
The interior decoration of the castle is simple, with yellow walls, original wooden spiral staircases, taupe bookcases... every piece of furniture is full of retro flavor. It feels like you have really returned to ancient Europe, to that innocent and romantic era.
"Dear friend," Alice pulled him into the innermost room on the second floor, "I have many beautiful dresses here, what style do you like?"
Cheng Xi: "...Why should I wear a beautiful dress?"
"Because you want to pretend to be me! Your skin is white and delicate, your nose is so high, and your eyes are like glass. You will definitely look good in a skirt!"
!!!
How could I forget this!!!
"Wait a minute," Cheng Xi interrupted Alice, who kept praising her skirt, "Why am I playing you, can't Tao Shiyan do it?"
"He's so tall, he can't fit into a skirt."
"Are you convinced that you don't buy plus sizes when buying clothes?"
"Of course I'm prepared for the larger size," Alice smiled, "You can't buy a skirt with a slim figure in the market. And even if you can buy it, when my brother comes to see me, won't he wear it at a glance?"
Cheng Xi: "..."
Fine.
One moment he was quick to talk, another moment he was happy, now he was wearing women's clothing in the crematorium. He regretted it so much that he couldn't help but picture himself wearing a skirt in his mind.
And the scene where fans spread his photos wildly and used photos of him in women's clothing as emoticons to send to each other.
I feel like I have encountered the biggest challenge of my career.
But the task has been accepted, and he never gives up halfway, so he can only grit his teeth and accept it.
While Cheng Xi was being tortured by Alice, the other guests also received instructions from the program team.
"Ding~ Alice's brother Aliwell has set off with helpers. Please be ready to help Group C. If the task is not completed, 3 points will be deducted from each person."
The program team has just settled the points for the first task. Group C Tao Shiyan and Cheng Xi each have 10 points; Group A Wang Zihan and Xu Lichu each have 6 points. 2 points will be deducted for purchasing two clues and 2 points will be deducted for loan interest. Now
2 points each for the rest.
Meng Bai and Shen Yi were even worse, with -1 point each.
Xu Lichu was excitedly waiting to eat melon. Hearing the cue from the program team, he raised his head in surprise, "What? Does it have anything to do with us? I almost ran out of points!"
Director Liu in the communicator: "Of course, if Alice is captured, your mission will not be able to continue."
"Then what do we need to do?" Wang Zihan asked.
Perhaps it was Cheng Xi who won the "hidden grand prize" that made Director Liu very happy. He gave unprecedented guidance: "The purpose of this mission is to help Alice delay time. You can do something to make Group C be discovered later."
Xu Lichu was smart, and a lot of ideas suddenly popped up in his mind: "There is a big difference in size between actor Tao and the others, Alice, and Karl. If Aliwell sees it, they will be exposed immediately. We must first find a way to prevent Aliwell from directly
See them."
She walked around the house and asked the aunt dressed as a servant: "Can I move the things in the house?"
"random."
"Thank you," Xu Lichu said, "Brother Meng, Brother Zihan, you are taller, please help me take down the curtains."
When Prince Han heard the words, he stood up. Meng Bai held him back and mouthed: "Don't go."
Prince Han understood the meaning of the brothers - it was embarrassing for Tao Shiyan and Cheng Xi to act as lovers under his eyes, but it would be too cruel to ask him to help them personally.
But this is not a one-person game. Wang Zihan whispered: "I'm sorry, Xiaobai, we have too few components and can't afford the deduction."
"Okay, okay, you go."
Meng Bai gritted his teeth, used the bathroom as an excuse, and turned to leave.
With the help of Wang Zihan, Xu Lichu hung the curtains between the two cabinets in the living room on the first floor to block the dining table.
The curtains are made of gauze. From the outside, only a blurry figure can be seen, and the face cannot be seen clearly.
In order to prevent Aliweir from forcing his way in, Xu Lichu asked the program crew for a few more sets of maid and bodyguard clothes. After putting them on for everyone, he let out a long sigh and said, "That's almost it. Let's take a break."
At this time, Meng Bai came back from going to the bathroom, and the four of them sat around the table. Xu Lichu held his cheeks in his hands, looking excited: "I really look forward to how they will look after changing their clothes, especially Little Chengzi."
Meng Bai pursed his lips: "Yes, Xiao Cheng must be very funny."
"Not necessarily," Xu Lichu shook his head, "I have seen boys who look very good in women's clothing. Some are more beautiful than girls. Hey, I can't envy them."
"You all say Xiao Cheng, but I'm a little worried about Teacher Tao," Wang Zihan said, "What if he keeps laughing when he looks at Xiao Cheng later? Wouldn't it be easy to cheat?"
"Won't."
At this time, a low-pitched male voice came from behind, "Not laughing is the basic quality of an actor."
Several people turned around after hearing the sound. Tao Shiyan came downstairs at some unknown time and had already changed into the same white shirt as Baron Karl.
Wearing a dark blue coat with dark patterns on him, coupled with his own sense of alienation, he looked noble and arrogant.
More like a noble than a noble.
Wang Zihan quickly explained: "I was joking with everyone just now. I didn't mean to say that your acting skills are not good!"
Tao Shiyan said nothing, sat on the other side of the table and took out his mobile phone.
Prince Han was a little anxious and leaned into Meng Bai's ear: "Teacher Tao, don't you misunderstand me? I mean Cheng Xi is ugly in women's clothes. I am not mocking the actor Tao for being unprofessional. Xiaobai, please help me to intercede."
Meng Bai nodded absently and looked sideways at Tao Shiyan.
I happened to be able to see his mobile phone screen on the WeChat interface.
Meng Bai had seen the avatar on the other side of the conversation, and it was Tao Shiyan's manager Jin Kun.
Being too far away, I couldn't clearly see the content of the chat. I could only vaguely see the words "Director Liu" and "Cheng Xi".
Meng Bai's face was gloomy.
It seems that he has never been mentioned by Tao Shiyan.
Compared with the rest of the people downstairs, Cheng Xi was already being tortured to the point of exploding.
"This dress is so heavy. Did you fill it with lead?"
"What's that thing wrapped around your waist? Take it off quickly!"
"No, you're too sissy. I will never go out. Please change -"
"Okay," Alice opened the closet and took out a set of shirts and trousers, "then you can wear my usual riding clothes."
Um?
Cheng Xi tugged on the waist, wondering why Alice suddenly changed her gender when she was forced to wear a skirt.
Seeing his hesitation, Alice adjusted the Bluetooth headset.
In fact, it was Director Liu who had just given the order, telling her not to force Cheng Xi. She couldn't figure out why Director Liu, who had previously told her to trick Cheng Xi into wearing a skirt, suddenly changed his tune.
Alice brought him a white one-shoulder silk shirt and black trousers. Although the shirt's complicated design, butterfly sleeves and pearl buttons were extremely exquisite, compared with the previous palace-style dress, it was already too neutral to be any more.
Neutral, Cheng Xi accepted it very well.
I'm just not satisfied with the neckline, it shows too much.
But he's a man, so he can show off, and he won't suffer any loss anyway.
"Ding~ Aliwell is approaching and is expected to arrive at the castle in ten minutes. Guests, please be ready."
Upon hearing the prompt, Alice's hands moved faster. Baron Karl ran from upstairs to the table with an emotional expression: "Tao, my dearest friend, thank you for your willingness to help Alice and I. It will take us three days to run out of the town.
Ten minutes."
This meant they had to delay for more than half an hour, so Tao Shiyan said "hmm".
"Alice must have helped Cheng dress up soon. As a couple who are limited to half an hour, you must be looking forward to your lover's appearance!"
It's ridiculous for a man to wear girls' clothes.
What is there to look forward to? Tao Shiyan nodded perfunctorily for the sake of the camera.
Baron Karl explained a few more words, and then there was the sound of messy footsteps on the stairs. Everyone looked up -
The first thing that catches the eye is a pair of straight long legs, which are made even more slender by mid-calf black riding boots. Looking up, the narrow waist is tucked into the hem of the shirt. Because of dancing all the time, it is full of resilience, slender but not thin.
Further up, the golden curled one-word collar stretches lazily across the collarbone, and the neck has a graceful arc. The mandible line retracts into the earlobes, and the small tips on the upper edges of the auricles glow with a faint pink color.
It's like the little prince of the elves who first came to the world.
Both the guests and the staff of the program raised their heads, and the first floor was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
"wow!"
Until the exclamation broke the silence, Karl couldn't help but applaud: "It's so unexpected! Tao, your lover is pretty, isn't he?"
