The production of the sugar painting required a certain amount of time.

Seeing the old man skillfully pour the sugar out with a spoon and use the thin sugar thread that fell from the sky to outline a very lively face on the board, she couldn’t help but sigh at how beautiful his technique was.

The painting was not lifelike, but it still had a hint of charm.

“Here.” The old man wrapped the wooden stick under the sugar painting and handed it to Murong Qiao quietly.

The freshly baked sugar painting was still a little hot. When the wind blew, it hardened up, making it crispy when she bit down. A hint of sweetness spread on the tip of her tongue, making Murong Qiao narrow her eyes in joy.

Huo Yichen paid the old man at the side. Then, seeing that she was eating happily, he chuckled.

After leaving the sugar painting stall, the two of them continued walking back.

The guesthouse hotel booked by the production team had already vaguely appeared in their vision. From afar, they could see a lush old tree standing there. The leaves gradually turned from green to a yellowish color. It looked quite beautiful.

“The antique and comfortable atmosphere feels similar to the retirement environment I imagined.” Murong Qiao sighed.

There were small bridges and flowing water. Murong Qiao felt that it was not bad if she could really go to such a place when she was old.

!!..

Huo Yichen walked beside her and smiled helplessly when he heard her words. “How old are you now? You’re already thinking about retirement?”

Instead of thinking about this, why don’t you think about where we’ll go to play the day after tomorrow?” he asked.

When Murong Qiao heard this, she looked up at him in surprise. “Aren’t we going to record the show?”

“I’ve asked the director. The recording will end the day after tomorrow at noon. We can move around freely for the remaining half of the day,” Huo Yichen replied without changing his expression. There were no hints of him abusing his authority.

However, investors had to have some special privileges.

“Then I have to think about it carefully…” Murong Qiao’s eyes lit up as she immediately calculated in her heart.

As the two of them chatted, they arrived at the door of the guesthouse hotel.

Huo Yichen pushed the door open for her and lifted the curtain before walking in together.

“Hello, guests.” The young lady at the front desk greeted the two of them very politely. “Are you staying?”

Seeing that Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen’s clothes and aura didn’t look ordinary, the front desk lady’s face became even more enthusiastic.

Huo Yichen took out the room card he had obtained from the director. ‘We have a reservation.”

“Alright, wait a moment. I need to confirm it.” The front desk lady nodded. About a minute later, the front desk lady confirmed the basic information.

“This IS your room key. The high-class suite is in the last area of the corridor. Just walk straight.”

After the two of them took the keys, they turned around and went to the back The style of the guesthouse hotel was very close to nature. With almost every step, one would see that the surrounding decor was filled with mountains, rivers, and trees. The design was leisurely and carefree, and it subconsciously made one relax.

Murong Qiao was originally observing the guesthouse. When she arrived at the room, she was a little surprised.

Looking at the luxurious and very wide room in front of her, there was even a small open-air hot spring outside for people to use. The moment Murong Qiao saw it, she couldn’t help but wonder if the production team was really so kind as to be willing to spend so much.

But after a few seconds, she reacted and looked at the man standing beside her. “You did this?”

“I wanted you to sleep more comfortably.” As an investor, Huo Yichen readily admitted this small trick.

In Huo Yichen’s opinion, if the money was used in a way related to Murong Qiao, it would be well-spent.

As for what Director Yuan Qing thought, it was not important. He didn’t care how the show was filmed.

“Don’t worry about anything happening. I’ve upgraded the others to the same level too.” Huo Yichen assumed that Murong Qiao might feel that this wasn’t fair.

But Murong Qiao actually accepted it very well. “I’ll go to the toilet first. I drank a little too much water when I was recording the show just now.”

She wrapped the unfinished sugar painting and placed it in the fridge. Then, she entered the washroom to resolve her physiological problems.

In the end, after entering, she saw the translucent glass of the washroom facing the bedroom outside. Then, she looked at the bathtub and the handrail beside it. She immediately fell silent.

Murong Qiao looked around. For a moment, she didn’t know if she should say that Director Yuan Qing was too considerate or something. She only felt her face heat up.

“Qiaoqiao?” Huo Yichen’s worried voice came from outside.

Seeing that Murong Qiao didn’t move after entering the washroom for a long time, Huo Yichen thought that something had happened.

Murong Qiao took a deep breath and suppressed the heat on her face. “I’m fine.”

I’ll just pretend not to see anything.

Murong Qiao muttered in her heart. Then, she went to the glass window. When she looked at the curtain that was covering it, he felt that this guesthouse hotel still had some conscience and didn’t really make people abandon their shame.

“Rest well tonight. Tomorrow morning, the production team will bring us to take publicity photos. In addition, we have other activities to attend tonight.” When Murong Qiao went out, Huo Yichen was packing his luggage in the living room.

The luggage had been sent to the corresponding room early in the morning by the staff. It was filled with daily necessities and clothes.

Murong Qiao glanced at the sky outside. “Why is it dark so quickly?”

She originally wanted to go out for a walk later, but when she heard Huo Yichen say that there was an entire day of activity tomorrow, she immediately dismissed the idea.

“I saw that there’s only one bed in the bedroom.” Huo Yichen took the initiative to mention it. “I’ll sleep on the sofa. Call me if you need anything.”

Although the two of them were already boyfriend and girlfriend, Huo Yichen had absolute respect for Murong Qiao and was very ritualistic.

Murong Qiao felt the heat she had felt in the washroom return to her face.

“One bed…” She coughed softly.

They were all couples, and they were on a romance variety show. It was naturally normal to book single beds for the couples.

However, looking at Huo Yichen’s broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs, he was nearly 1.9 meters tall. Murong Qiao also looked at the sofa beside him. Although it was spacious, it couldn’t accommodate Huo Yichen’s figure. She felt that letting Huo Yichen sleep there was a little unfair.

Murong Qiao took the initiative to say with shame in her heart, “There’s no need to do this.”

“Huh?” Huo Yichen couldn’t hear her clearly.

Murong Qiao mustered her courage this time. “I’m saying that it’s not a big problem for us to sleep on the same bed. How can I let you sleep on the sofa since we’re a couple? It’s not like we’re arguing.”

The more she spoke, the softer her voice became.

However, Huo Yichen heard everything clearly and turned to look at her. He saw Murong Qiao’s pink face, as well as the faint shyness in her sparkling eyes.

“It’s better to accept deferentially than to decline courteously,” Huo Yichen teased her.

Murong Qiao turned around and went to the bedroom, unwilling to meet Huo Yichen’s smiling eyes.

The first night passed just like that. The newcomers finally got a good rest.

The night was replaced by the morning light, and even the white sky in the east was gray. The occasional chirping of birds outside accompanied by the faint light through the gaps in the curtains woke the two of them up.

Perhaps because they had gone to a new place, the biological clock in Murong Qiao’s body was also disturbed. It was rare for her to wake up a step earlier than the alarm clock..
