Chapter 59 Doubting the Blonde Punk, Envying the Blonde Punk

As everyone walked into the dining room, the place was still bustling with noise, almost resembling a crowded morning vegetable market.

Xu Xiu immediately stood up and waved his hand. "Alright, everyone, quiet down."

"Stop talking, didn't you see the Village Chief speaking? Hurry up and shut your mouths," Song Dan chimed in, echoing him.

Right beside them, a PD immediately rushed over, holding a cue card and handing it to Xu Xiu.

It was densely packed with upcoming arrangements and various new rules.

Xu Xiu felt his head spinning. Damn it, being a Village Chief meant doing this kind of chore?

Weren't his daily three self-reflections all for nothing then!

The three self-reflections: Can it be left undone? Can it be done tomorrow? Can someone else do it?

Xu Xiu immediately activated his third skill: Can someone else do it!

So, seizing the opportunity, he smoothly passed the cue card over to Song Dan.

"Mama Dan, after being Village Chief for a few seasons, I've realized I'm still too young and simply can't handle it. The bigger picture requires someone steady and experienced like you to take the helm!"

Song Dan didn't suspect a thing, genuinely thinking Xu Xiu was flattering her. With a smile on her face, she silently took the cue card, even looking at Xu Xiu with a newfound, subtle respect.

This kid's got potential! I knew you'd amount to something since you were little!

[Ding! Detected that the host's absurd behavior has gained exposure, exposure value +69... exposure value +69...]

Song Dan stood up and introduced the new procedures:

The rooms needed to be reassigned. This time, it would be two people per room, abandoning the previous arrangement where everyone shared one large communal room.

Everyone was handed a slip of paper, and writing each other's names constituted a successful pairing... moving in together.

The production team put a pretty spin on it: this was a transition from a large collective to small teams, allowing everyone to get familiar with each other faster.

To put it bluntly, living collectively was inconvenient, and the production team had forgotten that this was a group of celebrities, each with their own schedule—not college students who could all rest at uniform times.

Sometimes one person was ready to sleep, only for others to keep getting more and more hyped, disrupting their rest.

As soon as this room-reassignment rule was announced, everyone immediately looked around at their desired bedmates.

Xu Xiu felt a bit regretful. If only mixed-gender rooms were allowed, there was really no need to be bound by such rigid formalities (⸝⸝•‧̫•⸝⸝)

Thumbs down!

With no other choice in the end, Xu Xiu looked at Wang Chuanjun, who was left unclaimed, and Wang Chuanjun turned his head to look back at Xu Xiu.

The two of them simultaneously raised a finger, a mutual "you know what I mean" expression on their faces.

Meanwhile, Wang Churan, who had just arrived only to immediately face room assignments, looked at everyone in a daze.

Meng Ziyi grabbed her hand and said, "Bao'er, don't be afraid. You're sharing a room with me."

"Bao'er~ I'm so glad you're here. If not for you, I wouldn't even know what to do." Wang Churan puffed out her cheeks, looking chubby and extremely cute.

A few minutes later, everyone wore satisfied smiles because they had all chosen their preferred bedmates.

Naturally, Xu Xiu ended up in the same room as Wang Chuanjun, but the show decided to step up its madness once again.

They actually introduced a dual Village Chief system, meaning both people in a room would become Village Chiefs.

And this time, the wheel of fate spun back toward Xu Xiu, who unsurprisingly found himself reappointed.

Happy? Not happy at all!

He was completely scammed when he first arrived, thinking being Village Chief was a sweet gig, only to find out it was essentially a babysitting role.

A bunch of old schemers!

After the meeting ended, everyone returned to their respective rooms.

Xu Xiu and Wang Chuanjun chose a room on the second floor, where looking out the window offered an unobstructed view of the endless coastline.

This was a genuine sea-view room.

Outside was the scorching summer heat, with even the air shimmering and distorting under the baking heatwaves of Hainan, but inside, the air conditioning kept things cool and comfortable.

"So comfortable~"

Xu Xiu threw himself directly onto the window-side bed, finding the Simmons mattress exceptionally cozy.

Compared to his shabby little shed, this place was simply heaven versus hell!

Wang Chuanjun finished tidying his luggage and immediately picked up his phone to record a video, intending to send it to his wife and daughter.

Yes, much like many other men, Wang Chuanjun was an utter daughter-con.

Men like this generally shared a common trait: a deep-seated fear of punks with dyed blonde hair!

Hey old man! I'm here on my e-bike to pick up your daughter~

It was unimaginable—if Wang Chuanjun ever encountered a scenario like that, would his inner world completely collapse?

Actually, Xu Xiu quite admired those blonde-haired punks. The backseats of their electric scooters were never short of girls, and those girls practically functioned like NPCs, always spawning reliably at fixed locations!

Doubt the blonde punks, understand the blonde punks, envy the blonde punks!

As for trying to copy them, forget it. After all, you lack the skills and the style just doesn't fit~

After lying down to rest for a while, Xu Xiu couldn't stand watching Wang Chuanjun being all sweet and lovey-dovey with his wife anymore.

The world of a single dog was officially achieved!

Even stray dogs had animal protection associations looking out for them, but single dogs didn't!

Damn it! Single dogs have no human rights!

After heading downstairs, Xu Xiu saw several figures already busy in the kitchen.

"What are you guys up to? Is someone actually cooking?" Xu Xiu asked, looking puzzled.

Li Xueqin spread her hands. "Well, Sister Meng insisted she wanted to show off a new dish she learned, and there was just no stopping her."

"Huh??? You! You learned a new dish?" Xu Xiu was dumbfounded.

Hearing this, Meng Ziyi put her hands on her hips and lifted her chin, glancing at Xu Xiu with unconcealed defiance.

"What? Am I not allowed to learn how to cook? Besides, what I make is super delicious~ My assistant already tasted-tested it for me!"

What a great assistant! A true hero!

Wishing you a good morning, good afternoon, good night, a safe journey, farewell, and goodbye!

Walking closer, Xu Xiu noticed Li Xueqin and Wang Churan helping to string long beans on the side, while Meng Ziyi was chopping meat on the cutting board. Her technique made it hard for Xu Xiu to watch.

"You're cutting it wrong. Pork needs to be sliced against the grain—why are you cutting it the other way?"

"Hmph~ Shut up, I like cutting it this way, is there a problem?"

"Fine, fine, fine. You're cooking so you make the rules. You go ahead, I won't disturb you here."

Xu Xiu hurried over to help Wang Churan and Li Xueqin with the long beans. When he caught sight of the long manicured nails on Wang Churan's fingers, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

These two were definitely here just for comedic effect!

"Give it here. If you keep picking them like this, we won't get to eat until next year."

With that, Xu Xiu grabbed Wang Churan's wrist, using his other hand to take the long beans from her grasp.

Wang Churan froze for a moment, her gaze dropping to the hand Xu Xiu still had wrapped around her arm.

However, Xu Xiu quickly let go, lifted a long bean up, and demonstrated with deadpan earnestness:

"See? You have to snap off the sharp tip at the head and the extra bit at the tail, all of it."

While Xu Xiu was demonstrating right there, Wang Churan squatted down to watch with complete focus, nodding her head in an adorable, dazed manner.

This immediately sent her fan base into a frenzy.

"Damn it! Xu Xiu, keep your dog paws away from our Ranran, don't force me to slap you!"

"Ahhh! Such a cute Ranran~ I just want to scoop her up in my arms and squish her cheeks."

"Far and wide, Ranran is the most beautiful! My Ranran is simply gorgeous."

"By the way, what is Sister Meng planning to make? Aside from scrambled eggs, can her cooking actually be eaten?"
