Romance Variety Show: Director, there's something wrong with my script!

Chapter 20 Group Photo

With Xu Zhiyi and Ji Chengyu taking the stage, the only ones who still posed a threat were probably Lu Zeyan and Su Qingyuan.

Soon, this sense of crisis became a reality.

Although singing love songs as a duet is very challenging for the two of them, Xu Zhiyi and Ji Chengyu have excellent voices, and they were able to sing the songs to a high standard even without emotion.

Ultimately, their group garnered over two million votes, surpassing Lu Zeyan and Su Qing to secure fourth place.

It's a classic case of the cook not getting any food. Everyone could only laugh at this result and then begin choosing what to eat for the evening.

"Didn't you just want to eat lobster? Here you go." Zhang Jianjian looked at the lobster he had already gotten and said to Lin Wanxing with a smile.

"No...no, my hairy crabs are delicious." Lin Wanxing shook her head vigorously and silently moved away a little.

The viewers in the live stream found this scene amusing, but after calming down, many viewers found it strange that Chen Yuan's target was Xu Zhiyi.

It is impolite to flirt with other women in front of your partner.

Even if this is a dating reality show, one shouldn't embarrass their teammates in public.

Immediately, the comments in the live stream changed, with many people condemning Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan was unaware that he had suddenly been cyberbullied by thousands of netizens. All he wanted to do at that moment was enjoy a meal, a whole lobster, which he ate with great relish.

"What's wrong? Is it not to your liking? You can switch with someone else and eat what you like," Chen Yuan said.

"..."

"How about we switch with Xu Zhiyi?" Zhang Jianjian suggested.

"Her?" Chen Yuan glanced at the food they had chosen, a steak set meal, which wasn't bad. "The steak set meal is pretty good. If you like it, go ask about it."

Zhang Jianjian was speechless; chatting with this guy was infuriating.

In the end, she could only reluctantly continue eating her lobster.

After the meal, it was already past eight o'clock. The weekend live stream ended at ten o'clock at night, and with more than an hour left, Chen Yuan said, "We should go do the last task."

At this time, another group had already set off, with Xu Zhiyi and Ji Chengyu departing ahead of them.

Although Zhang Jianjian didn't want to talk to Chen Yuan, he was inexplicably angry and didn't want to lose to their group.

"Let's go get the equipment from the photography shop!"

Soon, the two of them also set off, while the others were free to do as they pleased, waiting for the last two groups to complete their tasks that night.

As Chen Yuan left the villa, he noticed that Zhang Jianjian was quieter. He realized that Zhang Jianjian was probably unhappy with his behavior that night.

He thought about it for a moment, but didn't explain.

Upon arriving at the photography shop, the staff were already waiting. After choosing a camera, the two received their photography assignment for the evening.

Each person receives ten individual photos and five group photos, all of which are of professional quality.

"What is 'production quality'?" Chen Yuan asked, puzzled.

"It's a photo with a rating of 4.0, which takes into account factors such as angle, exposure, and scene selection," the staff member explained.

"Oh, it's just that the photos are well taken." Chen Yuan nodded slightly.

Once you have the specific mission requirements, the next step is to choose a location.

"Let's go down that path," Zhang Jianjian said, immediately thinking of the path leading down the mountain.

"Okay," Chen Yuan replied, "We can indeed take a few pictures over there."

With the first photo spot secured, the two quickened their pace, heading straight up the path at the foot of the mountain. A dozen minutes later, they arrived at the pavilion halfway up the mountain.

"Take your picture first, then you take my picture from my angle." Zhang Jianjian became very focused at this moment. He took the camera and directly directed Chen Ye to stand in the position she indicated.

"Snap!"

With a few clicks of the shutter, two photos of the pavilion were taken.

"Look, the angle should be similar when you take a picture of me, according to the angle I mentioned," Zhang Jianjian said.

Chen Yuan walked up to her and looked at the photos in the camera. He was surprised to see how handsome he looked in the photos.

The cold moonlight evoked a sense of loneliness.

"Do you understand?"

"Okay, I understand." Chen Yuan nodded, then took the camera and took the photos in one go, achieving the level she requested.

This surprised Zhang Jianjian. Chen Yuan had a good grasp of photography, probably because he could draw.

Afterwards, the two followed the path to the square halfway up the mountain, took a few more photos there, and then returned to the main road and came down.

By the time we got back to the resort at the foot of the mountain, we had already taken 10 individual photos, leaving only five group photos.

The group photo required a tripod set to automatic shooting, so for the first photo, the two chose the entrance of the resort, and for the second photo, they chose the entrance of the coffee shop.

Chen Yuan took the fifth photo and chose the Ferris wheel in the distance as the background.

While setting up the tripod, he suddenly asked curiously, "Our group photos are all taken with us at a distance. Should we move closer?"

As soon as he said it, Chen Yuan realized it was inappropriate and changed his words, saying, "It shouldn't be necessary, don't worry about it."

"Just to be on the safe side, let's take a picture," Zhang Jianjian suddenly said.

Chen Yuan was somewhat surprised to hear this. Seeing her calm expression, he realized that he had been overthinking things. It was just a group photo; what was wrong with getting closer?

So, after setting up the camera, he stood next to Zhang Jianjian. Compared to the previous group photo, this time they were very close, their shoulders touching.

"Try matching couple outfits."

"Snap!"

As the shutter clicked, Chen Yuan snapped out of his reverie and looked at Zhang Jianjian leaning on his shoulder; his heart suddenly raced.

"This...is pretty good, isn't it?" He tried to calm himself down and smiled.

"We'll have to see to know." As he spoke, Zhang Jianjian walked towards the camera.

She bent down to look at the photos in the camera, a hint of shyness flashing across her face, and then said, "It's alright, the effect should be quite good."

"Really? That's good." Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. "Then hurry up and turn in the mission, and see how long it took."

Chen Yuan felt that first place probably wouldn't have enough time.

They arrived at the camera store shortly after to hand in their assignment. While the staff developed the photos, the two sat quietly on the sofa and waited.

A dozen minutes later, the photos were developed and packed into three envelopes by the staff.

"Your individual photos and group photos have been packaged separately and passed the review. The group photo on the Ferris wheel is particularly beautiful, so we've kept it to hang in the store," the staff member said with a smile.

As they spoke, the other person took out a framed photo and hung it on the DIY wall next to them.

In the photo, Zhang Jianjian leans on Chen Yuan's shoulder with a resolute expression, while Chen Yuan's expression shows sudden panic.

The two looked at the photo with some embarrassment, thanked the staff, and left in a hurry.

In the live stream, the viewers were also confused, unable to tell who liked whom.

When the two of them returned to the villa, the butler announced the official ranking of the five groups.
