"Alright, everyone is here," Director Li interrupted their conversation, speaking through a megaphone. "Today, you may have noticed familiar faces around you, that’s right, these are the people you contacted at the end of the last episode."
"Some of you have invited your spouse, some invited a close female friend, and some invited long-term friends."
"This episode’s title is ’Mo City Three-Day Tour.’
"Unlike usual, this time it’s a team activity. You will be paired with the person you invited. Since we have pairs, there’s a competition. And with competition, there are winners and losers."
"So, the final winner will receive the biggest reward of this episode, and what is the reward?" Director Li played with the tone, "I know, but I’m not telling."
Li Han said, "But if you don’t tell us, that’s too mean!"
Zhang Dafu raised an eyebrow and smiled without saying anything. Kai rubbed his chin and suddenly chuckled, "Director Li, hurry and tell us what the reward is. If it’s a couple’s reward, I need to see the item to decide whether to put up with this person beside me."
Kai’s partner, also his real-life friend AC, looked at Kai with disdain, "No way, it’s bad enough being stuck with you as a friend for life. I seriously can’t understand why people ship the Kai-AC pairing! Why can’t it be AC-Kai instead?"
Kai: "... Hey! It’s clearly because you look like a boiled chicken, so you look like the bottom, okay! And how can you be so disgusted being my friend, let’s duel at the beach."
AC rolled his eyes, "Are you stupid? There’s no sea in sight. Forget it, I know you can’t bear to be without me."
At this moment, Zhang Dafu and Li Han both shouted, "Director Li, why didn’t you say so earlier! Had we known, we would have invited male friends!"
Zhang Dafu’s wife Meng Han and Li Han’s partner Han Yue both glared at them, hands on hips, "What do you mean? Are we not good enough for you?"
Faced with Han Yue’s pouty and angry expression, Li Han panicked and quickly said, "No, no, it’s fine! I’ll protect you!"
The originally annoyed mood instantly brightened, and Han Yue secretly smiled at Li Han, "Silly."
Seeing this, Zhang Dafu shouted at Meng Han, "Wife! Heaven and earth can testify, I have no other meaning, I just worry those rascals may bully you because they’re strong!"
Meng Han rolled her eyes, "Can’t you protect me? I am your wife, right? Why such a big difference!"
At this moment, Yu Yu, who had been silent with a cold face, laughed, "Sister Meng Han, your situation can’t be compared."
"Exactly," Kai teased Li Han, "Brother Han, his friendship is above normal, while you and Brother Da Fu..."
Xu Renfei chimed in, "Are a couple that shares the good times but runs away during the bad times."
Zhang Dafu: ...
Meng Han: ...
Everyone burst into laughter, Bi Xia couldn’t help but smile as she noticed the sparks between Li Han and Han Yue, and quietly asked Xu Renfei, "Li Han and Han Yue, those two..."
Xu Renfei slightly lowered his head and whispered, "Isn’t it obvious? They’re in a kiss-at-any-disagreement relationship, but just haven’t gone public yet."
"Aren’t you worried you’re making jokes before it’s public?" Bi Xia asked, confused.
Xu Renfei shook his head, "Think about it, if Brother Han brings her to the show, it clearly indicates he wants to go public. I guess there might be some moves this episode."
Bi Xia nodded understandingly, her eyes sparkling as she pondered something.
"Hey, Xu Renfei," Yu Yu called out with a smile, "What are you two whispering about!"
Xu Renfei raised an eyebrow challengingly, "Can’t you guess? We’re planning how to crush you guys!"
With that, Xu Renfei put his arm around Bi Xia’s shoulder, "Bi Xia and I, together we’re invincible!"
Bi Xia raised her head slowly, mimicking a gun with her hand, her red lips parted, "Bang—"
