Chapter 374 - 374 Choosing a Roommate

374 Choosing a Roommate

The entire first floor’s decorations and layout had been greatly changed into an open floor plan. The camera panned in and the audience saw a bright living room, as well as an open kitchen that could accommodate more than ten people at a time.

The living room had a warm, elegant, and simple design with wood-colored furniture.

Further in was the dining and lounge area.

The upper floors were the rooms for the guests, and the balcony on the top floor had also been renovated.

!!

The house came with an elevator and a staircase.

On the first floor, next to the dining area, which was just below the stairs, there was a hidden room. When the camera panned to it, it looked like an ordinary decorative wall, but in fact, it was a hidden door. Inside was a large room, and a faint tobacco smell wafted through the gap in the door. At this moment, the room was already filled with staff wearing headphones. The wall was filled with more than twenty screens, so that they could see every room at the same time.

[ “This is definitely the richest organizer I’ve ever seen!” ]

[ “Was ‘The Royal Feud’ filmed here?” ]

[ “The official account of ‘Cohabitation’ already announced that it’s a new space specially rented to film this show, stop making blind guesses!” ]

The staff member who was in charge of communication with the guests was Ms. Fang. She was an old employee of Lychee TV and Duan Shengquan’s capable assistant, and all the staff members respected her.

At this moment, Ms. Fang was holding a big folder and explaining to all the guests the house rules.

For the convenience of filming, there was a washroom for the guests, and a fake one that was used purely for filming.

There were no cameras in the real washroom.

Then, they emphasized that they should try not to smoke or drink on camera. However, they only said that they should try. After all, they were live streaming almost all day, so they could not monitor them so strictly.

Finally, Ms. Fang gave everyone a new cell phone.

The women each received a folding phone that doubled as a makeup mirror.

The men received a normal phone.

WeChat was already installed in it.

In order to release some interesting chat history in the future, the organizer created a new WeChat account for each guest and added each other as friends.

The WeChat names were in the same format, with each person’s real name added to the end.

For example, Su Ji’s was “∞ Su Ji

Sigh, she wasn’t as cool as she used to be anymore.

The phone numbers of the other guests, Ms. Fang, and Director Duan were all saved in their contacts.

The guests took their phones and mentioned the sponsor as instructed.

Sonya was fully in charge of the introduction of the phone’s features.

She was the spokesperson for the brand this year.

[ “Those who are jealous of Sonya can shut up now. Sonya is the spokesperson. If she doesn’t do it, who will?” ]

[ “I also want to buy the phone that Sonya is endorsing!” ]

[ “I want to buy it, but my wallet says no.” ]

[ “The makeup mirror is so useful!” ]

Ms. Fang said that after they moved in, they would have to use their new phones while on camera. Without their consent, the organizer would not check their phones, so they didn’t have to worry.

Su Ji flipped open the phone. Even the screen was bright pink. This was the most girly phone she had ever used.

She sent her new contact to Xu Mingzhi, Pei Xi, and Pei Huai. The first two added her very quickly, but Pei Huai did not respond for a long time.

After a while, she received a friend request.

[ “Su Ji?” ]

[ “Who else?” ]

[ “How do you prove that you’re not an impostor?” ]

Su Ji replied to him quickly, “it’s up to you if you want to accept or not.”

This time, he did.

There was no doubt that this reply was from his girlfriend.

Then, in the chat, “.” sent a few gifts, celebrating the fact that he received his girlfriend’s new WeChat number.

From the moment the two of them added each other as friends, they basically did not stop chatting. When Su Ji asked him how the business at the bathhouse was going, Pei Huai’s eyes met Shen Mu’s, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, in the rearview mirror.

Pei Huai asked him to explain, and he did. At the end, he even asked, “boss, am I very smart?”

Pei Huai didn’t want to speak to him for a while.

The other guests were looking around the house, but Su Ji was already sitting on the sofa and chatting on her phone for a long time.

Casar’s gaze fell on her expression for a while before his attention was diverted by the other guests who spoke.

[ “Su Ji is definitely an internet addict!!” ]

[ “So Su Ji is this type of person!” ]

Li Shuguo stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the balcony and cleared his throat.

Lu Shang asked, “Mr. Li, the air here is good. I’m sure you’ll be in a good mood if you practice singing here every morning.”

Li Shuguo laughed, “I’m afraid I’ll disturb you young people’s sleep.”

“Not at all,” Lu Shang said politely, “it’s a pleasure to listen to you sing.”

Li Shuguo’s iconic laughter rang out again.

The comment section was also filled with laughter, and some fans even gave him gifts.

Finally, Ms. Fang showed everyone around the rooms upstairs. Sonya was the first to notice that each room had two beds.

“We are sharing a room?”

Actually, the villa was so big that the organizer could easily arrange for the ten guests to have a room each, but they insisted on having two people in one room.

It was a reality show. Of course, this was the only way to create drama.

“Ms. Ji Xi, are you used to living with others?” Sonya asked Ji Xi.

Although Ji Xi was easy-going, she seemed to have always been a loner and did not have any friends in the industry.

“I’m fine with that,” Ji Xi replied casually.

Sonya retracted her gaze. Since someone more famous than her had said so, she had no choice but to cooperate.

Nan Miaomiao followed and pulled on her arm, “we must share a room!”

Sonya smiled and said, “sure.”

As the girls were preparing to move their luggage, Xiao Ken inadvertently asked the important question, “Ms. Fang, we can choose our roommates, right? I sometimes practice the drum, my roommate will be an unlucky one.”

However, Ms. Fang laughed, “you can’t choose your roommates.”

Nan Miaomiao, who was about to pull Sonya into the room, stopped in her tracks, and all the guests looked at Ms. Fang.

She smiled mysteriously, “the women will stay on the second floor, and the men will stay on the third floor. As for your roommates, we prepared a simple game to decide…”

Nan Miaomiao’s face was full of bitterness and hatred. She didn’t want to share a room with any other person besides Sonya.

Of course, Ms. Fang would not change the rules just because of her. She continued, “now, let’s go back to the living room on the first floor and carry out the first task after moving in, pick a roommate by drawing lots!!”
