After the succubus became a fake young master that everyone disliked - Chapter 46
Upon entering the manor, passing through the well-maintained lawn and the fountain marked by the passage of time, they finally arrived at the main building.
Recently, they had entered a spacious area with high ceilings, surrounded by what appeared to be very expensive collectibles.
Shen’s group and Lou Yiwen looked at the surrounding items in silence for a moment before Shen Yixing asked, “Are these all genuine treasures?”
The director hesitated and said, “They probably aren’t. We informed the owner in advance that the real treasures should be put away.”
Jiang Yucheng replied, “They are real.”
Everyone: !!!
[Wow, they’re all real?]
[The second statue on the left, I remember it’s from a famous medieval sculptor.]
[The painting on the front wall, if it’s genuine, it could be worth eight figures.]
[Wow, this house might be even more expensive than I thought.]
[Poverty limits my imagination.]
Chi Jing glanced around and whispered, “Report this.”
Jiang Yucheng, knowing he wasn’t interested in these items, took the opportunity to say, “After this variety show, let’s go to Country A. There, you’ll find things you like.”
Chi Jing: “Sure.”
The two leaned close and whispered, completely visible to the audience.
[What are they whispering about?]
[Help, Jiang is so doting… I’ve never seen him like this before.]
[Are they really not dating?]
[Jiang Yucheng definitely likes Chi Jing!!!]
[Jiang Yucheng liking Chi Jing doesn’t matter if Chi Jing doesn’t like him. He has a wealthy backer.]
[Hey, do you have evidence?]
[What’s the gossip?]
[Impossible, does Chi Jing still need a wealthy backer? He probably has a lot of people requesting to date him. Unlike those other small celebrities.]
The director, watching the increasing popularity of the live broadcast, couldn’t help but praise the assistant director’s idea for this live streaming plan.
After two brief live broadcasts, Lu Tao found that the streaming traffic was exceptionally good. It also provided an opportunity to feature the sponsor’s products, achieving a dual benefit.
The staff guided everyone to their rooms, starting with Lou Yiwen and Ou’er Bai’s rooms. The rooms were similarly decorated, and the fans on both sides of the live stream hesitated to argue over room assignments.
Next was Shen Yixing’s room allocation, which was similar in size to Lou Yiwen’s, though it faced northeast and lacked a bit of sunlight.
However, for a short stay, this environment was far better than the cramped and uncomfortable guesthouse they had before.
Finally, it was Jiang Yucheng and Chi Jing’s room.
By coincidence or not, their rooms were on a different floor from the other three. Jiang Yucheng’s room was on the east side and slightly better than Lou Yiwen’s but generally similar.
Chi Jing’s room was located at the end of the third floor, with windows on the south, west, and north sides, allowing a view of the entire garden behind the manor.
Seeing the large area of hydrangeas in the garden, Chi Jing walked to the north window and gently placed his fingers on the glass, saying, “It looks so beautiful. I like this.”
[Wow, is this Endless Summer?]
[I remember it’s not the Endless Summer blooming season now.]
[It’s not too far off; with professional care, the blooming period can indeed be extended. But this room is so luxurious, it should be the best spot in the entire manor.]
[Why does Chi Jing get such a nice room? Among these people, his status is the lowest. The room should be given to Jiang Yucheng.]
[Didn’t Director Lu Tao say before that the rooms were assigned by the manor’s owner?]
[Exactly, if you’re so unhappy, go assign the rooms yourself. If you can’t, keep quiet.]
In the midst of the noisy comments, everyone welcomed their first night in Country X.
Dinner was served at an outdoor table in the garden, surrounded by mosquito-repelling plants and lights. Surprisingly, no mosquitoes appeared.
Chi Jing poked at his steak, which Jiang Yucheng had cooked.
As everyone began to feel sleepy and wanted to return to their rooms, the production team delivered cards to them.
“Hm? Tomorrow, we need to pair up for a day trip to the amusement park,” Chi Jing read aloud from the card, his interest piqued. “I’ve never been to an amusement park before.”
Ou’er Bai responded, “Then we’ll make sure you have a good time. We’ll try everything—roller coasters, drop towers, pirate ships, all of it.”
“No,” Chi Jing said, not fooled. He turned the card over, and on the back were the amusement park’s listed attractions. “I want to ride the carousel, the time-travel ride, the haunted house… and the Ferris wheel!”
Ou’er Bai looked disappointed. “Alright, I thought someone would join me for the more thrilling rides.”
Lou Yiwen raised her hand. “Let’s team up then.”
Jiang Yucheng glanced at Chi Jing, and the meaning was clear.
The lone Shen Yixing: “…So I’m alone?”
Lu Tao, appearing out of nowhere, said, “No, you’ll need to randomly invite a passerby to join you for the day trip.”
Shen Yixing: “I’d rather be alone.”
Lu Tao: “Hehe, no way.”
He didn’t voice it, but Lu Tao’s remark had sounded quite snide.
Lou Yiwen clapped her hands. “In that case, let’s all rest early tonight. Disband!”
Everyone agreed and returned to their respective rooms.
Chi Jing returned to his room, took a shower, and sat by the window, pouring himself a glass of water.
It was at this moment that Chi Yu’s message came in.
**Chi Yu:** “Chi Jing! Darling! The last wardrobe door in the dressing room is a secret door, leading to another room.”
**Chi Yu:** “I didn’t agree to the cameras being installed in the room. It’s safe.”
**Chi Yu:** “Good night, darling.”
Chi Jing put away his phone, finished his glass of water, and then went to the dressing room.
He found the wardrobe door Chi Yu mentioned and tentatively opened it. A narrow corridor appeared.
He walked to the end of the corridor and opened the door on the opposite side, revealing another dressing room.
As he stepped out of the dressing room, he heard the sound of running water from the nearby bathroom.
The water sound suddenly stopped, followed by the sound of the bathroom door opening.
He leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth, and looked at Jiang Yucheng, who was still not fully dressed in his sleepwear.
“Surprised?”
“Guessed it.” Jiang Yucheng’s room door was locked from the inside, so other than Chi Jing, no one else should have been able to enter. Nevertheless, Jiang Yucheng still asked, “How did you get in?”
“There’s a secret passage connecting the two dressing rooms.” Chi Jing remarked, “I wonder what Dad was thinking.”
Who installs a secret passage between two dressing rooms in a house!
Chi Jing glanced at him, whose hair was still dripping water. “Have you finished your shower?”
“No.”
“Then let’s shower together.” he said, pushing Jiang Yucheng back into the bathroom.
The bathroom door closed, and the sound of running water resumed, masking all other noises.
The next morning, Chi Jing woke up in Jiang Yucheng’s bed.
“So tired…”
Jiang Yucheng softly blew against his ear. “The production team will come to knock on the door soon.”
Chi Jing turned over, “Let them knock. I’m not worried.”
Jiang Yucheng replied, “It’s fine if our relationship is exposed, but if it’s caught on camera, the live stream might be shut down.”
After two minutes, Chi Jing sat up with his eyes closed.
Jiang Yucheng chuckled, went to the dressing room, and brought him a set of his own clothes, which had slightly long sleeves and pants.
His clothes were a size larger than Chi Jing’s, but Chi Jing had a good figure, and the larger size fit him well, giving him an oversized style.
After finishing washing up, he still hadn’t fully woken up and lay on the living room sofa with his eyes closed, sound asleep.
The others weren’t much better off; though they had all returned to their own rooms, none had gone to bed on time.
When Lu Tao arrived with the open live stream, this was the scene he saw.
He was somewhat speechless and tried to rouse everyone’s enthusiasm.
After three unsuccessful attempts, only Shen Yixing managed to muster some energy.
Jiang Yucheng was the most energetic of all, but he didn’t engage with Lu Tao. Instead, he occasionally glanced at Chi Jing.
[Waking up to dog food this early]
[It feels like these people are acting out my life, and Lu Tao is playing my boss. The employees are sleepy and unmotivated, while the boss is overly energetic and trying to get them excited]
[But I can’t be that tough, sob. Seeing the boss, I really need to perk up, but these people completely ignore Lu Tao’s direction]
[Lu Tao: So humble]
Chi Jing boarded the vehicle with his eyes still closed, with Jiang Yucheng’s assistance.
Once in the vehicle, he continued to rest and sleep until the amusement park’s noise and the sounds of children playing woke him up.
At 8 a.m., the amusement park was lively, filled with young people and children, in addition to the parents who brought their kids, creating a vibrant atmosphere.
Ou’er Bai couldn’t help but exclaim, “Everyone looks so young. I’m really getting old.”
Lou Yiwen, who was the same age as her, responded with, “Oh.”
Chi Jing, however, eagerly pulled out the tickets for the amusement park.
The funds for the tickets came from Lou Yiwen’s budget for this trip. Chi Jing bought two tickets with Jiang Yucheng’s money and then queued up to enter the park.
“What should we do first?” Jiang Yucheng asked, ready to go along with whatever he chose.
“The carousel!”
Since the carousel had a long line, Chi Jing waited patiently with Jiang Yucheng and enjoyed a ride.
“Next is the time-travel ride!”
It was a small indoor roller coaster combined with 3D projections, more suitable for younger kids.
Although he wasn’t a child, as a demon from the future who had visited amusement parks, he was very interested in these attractions.
The haunted house was not open in the morning, so his focus shifted to the Ferris wheel.
The Ferris wheel was mostly occupied by families with children and couples, and its queue was the longest, especially after he had finished his previous rides and it was close to noon, with more and more visitors entering the park.
He took a number and queued up, finding a nearby spot to rest. If the Ferris wheel staff didn’t call his number in time, he would need to get a new number and queue again.
He glanced at his number and realized he would have to wait for a long time.
Jiang Yucheng also noticed this. “We can go do something else first.”
Chi Jing shook his head. “I’ll rest here. I want some ice cream.”
“I’ll go buy it.”
Jiang Yucheng went to a nearby amusement park store to buy ice cream. When he returned, he didn’t find Chi Jing at the resting area but saw him chatting happily with a young man with blonde hair and blue eyes in the queue.
Seeing the smile on his face, Jiang Yucheng quietly crushed the ice cream cone beneath his fingers.
