Chapter 256 New Blind Box Rules
Lu Qingxi carefully instructed Shen Ji several times in the tea art class, and only let go of her hand when she was sure that Shen Ji had mastered the correct stirring technique. The moment Shen Ji felt her fingers leave the back of his hand, his heart suddenly felt empty, and a subtle sense of loss flashed in his eyes. However, he quickly adjusted his mood and completed the next tea art steps with concentration, without letting Lu Qingxi notice his abnormality.
The originally two-hour course passed unnoticed by the tacit cooperation of the two. When the tea art teacher announced the end of the course, it was already six o'clock in the evening. Fortunately, dinner had been booked in advance. The two went downstairs together to see off the tea art teacher and went to the restaurant to enjoy dinner.
In the restaurant, the ingredients for shabu-shabu mutton were neatly placed on the table. This was the first time for the two to eat hot pot together. Shen Ji carefully observed Lu Qingxi's taste, boiled the ingredients one by one, and then put them into her bowl. Lu Qingxi was concentrating on enjoying the food, showing a satisfied smile from time to time.
At Lu Qingxi's recommendation, Shen Ji tried a mouthful of sesame sauce with some curiosity. I don't know if it was because Lu Qingxi mixed it for him personally, or the expectation in her eyes, that made this sesame sauce that usually seemed a little strange become so different. The mellow taste, mixed with a hint of sesame fragrance, danced on the tip of his tongue, making Shen Ji's eyes light up, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "This sesame sauce is really unique, Qingxi, your recommendation is really right!" His voice was full of surprise and satisfaction, as if the taste buds enjoyment at this moment was an experience he had never had before.
At this time, Shen Ji's die-hard fans in front of the screen left messages one after another. Some joked, "Teacher Shen is really in trouble this time!", "What you are eating is not sesame paste, but the sweetness of love!" Some said seriously, "Teacher Shen is definitely in love with Lu Qingxi!" Other fans left a touching message, "Wow, brother, don't love her too much, we will be jealous!"
After dinner, Shen Ji suggested taking Mantou out for a walk. Lu Qingxi readily agreed, and the two took Mantou for a leisurely stroll in the park. With Mantou's company, they enjoyed the beautiful night scenery while chatting. Shen Ji teased Mantou from time to time, causing it to wag its tail happily. Lu Qingxi quietly watched the interaction between the man and the dog, with a gentle smile on his face.
They walked around the park again and again, and spent a pleasant night with Mantou walking slowly. It was almost nine o'clock when they returned to the No. 3 Heart-beating House. Shen Ji asked Lu Qingxi about her schedule for tomorrow morning and asked her to look forward to the crepes he prepared for her. He told Lu Qingxi to have a good rest, and then took Mantou back to his house.
Next to Mantou's little house, Shen Ji gently stroked Mantou's head and said with a smile: "Mantou, Mantou, you made your father proud today. You must behave well tomorrow." After that, he returned to his room with satisfaction and expectation.
In sharp contrast to the liveliness and warmth of Heart-beating House No. 3, the day in Heart-beating House No. 1 seemed particularly dull. After Zhou Siming left Heart-beating House No. 3, he dragged his heavy suitcase and returned to his original house with a low mood.
At lunchtime, he reluctantly went downstairs to eat, but it was clear that his mind was not on the food. Zhou Sibei naturally noticed her brother's strangeness and tried to dispel the haze in his heart through a relaxed conversation and warm comfort. However, Zhou Siming seemed to be trapped in his own world and ignored Zhou Sibei's concern.
He took four bites of food and then put down the cutlery. There was no expression on his face, as if he had lost interest in everything around him. He stood up, without saying much, and went upstairs to his room silently. Zhou Sibei looked at his departing back, feeling helpless and worried. The entire No. 1 Heartbeat House seemed particularly dull because of Zhou Siming's low pressure.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, a notice suddenly came from the radio, asking Zhou Siming and Zhou Sibei to prepare dinner together. For Zhou Sibei, who has never been good at cooking, this is undoubtedly a huge challenge. However, when she saw her brother Zhou Siming looking listless, she decided to step forward and cook by herself.
She took the recipe and started to try it with full confidence. However, the truth was always cruel. Soon, the sound of spatulas colliding and the smell of burning ingredients came from the kitchen. Half an hour later, the kitchen had become a mess, with various ingredients and kitchen utensils scattered on the charcoal-like ground, a pot was burnt, and the kitchen wall was also smoked black.
Zhou Siming shook his head helplessly when he saw this, and directly pulled Zhou Sibei out of the kitchen. He knew very well that his sister's cooking skills were limited, and if she continued like this, the whole house would probably be burned down. So, he decisively decided not to cook today.
The director team was also at a loss for words after seeing all this on the surveillance camera. They knew that the two guests' cooking skills were limited, but for the sake of the show's effect they could not remind them directly. So they could only quietly contact the logistics team and arrange nutritious meals for the guests.
When the other guests came downstairs and saw the nutritious meals on the table and the miserable state of the kitchen, they all tacitly understood and said nothing more. After they finished their meals, they consciously washed their own dishes and went upstairs to rest. After experiencing a "kitchen disaster", the entire No. 1 Heart-beating House returned to its former tranquility.
At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the surprise carefully planned by the program team arrived as expected. Two assistants quietly entered the Heartbeat House, holding two exquisite blind boxes in their hands. They gently placed the blind boxes in front of the camera and showed them to the audience who were watching the live broadcast. There were two big words written on the blind box: "Choice". After the assistants placed the blind boxes in a conspicuous place, they left the house quietly.
At 1 a.m., the official blog published the rules of the blind box on time, which aroused heated discussions among netizens. It turned out that this was a special blind box released on the tenth day of the Heart-beating House - two "choice" blind boxes. The rules clearly stated that the guest who found the blind box first would have the right to choose two guests to stay in the second house, and the other blind box would automatically become invalid.
At nine o'clock, the familiar and solemn voice of the director team echoed in every corner of the Heart-beating House through the radio on time: "Dear male and female guests, please pay attention to today's special notice. Since today is the closing day of Heart-beating House No. 2, we are pleased to inform you that the female guest Duan Wu who was temporarily living in House No. and the male guest Zhang Minglian who was in House No. will return to our big family. In order to create more wonderful encounter opportunities for everyone, we have carefully prepared a brand new Heart-beating House No. , and have placed a mysterious blind box of choice in the living area of the male and female guests respectively."
"However, the rules for this blind box search are somewhat special, so please listen carefully. Male guests need to start your search journey after 9:30, while our female guests have the privilege of going first and can choose to start your exploration immediately."
"Next, let's talk about the rules for using today's blind box. If the lucky female guest finds this blind box first, you will get an extremely tempting opportunity - choose to live in our brand new No. 4 Heart-beating Cabin with a favorite guest of the opposite sex. But please note that this does not mean that the selected male guest has no choice. He has the right to refuse your invitation, and if he chooses to refuse, he will also have a special opportunity to designate another male guest to replace himself in Cabin No. 4."
