It’s not scary to travel through a book, I’m the villain

When the plane landed in Hangzhou, a misty and rainy air unique to the Jiangnan water town hit us in the face, and the air seemed to have lost a bit of dryness.

"Yanzhi, the program crew's car is here. It's over there." Zhou Zhou stood on tiptoe and looked to the left.

"Okay, let's go over there." Chen Yanzhi pushed his box and walked over there.

The driver took them directly to the hotel where they were staying.

As soon as he arrived in the room and put down his things, Chen Yanzhi received a call from Jiang Wangyan.

"Have you arrived? Which room are you in? I'll come to see you." Jiang Wangyan asked at the right time and hung up the phone after getting the room number.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

"Long time no see." As soon as he opened the door, Jiang Wangyan came over and bumped his shoulder enthusiastically, "You're finally here."

Chen Yanzhi welcomed the person in and closed the door. "Did you arrive early?"

"We arrived in the morning because our flight was early." Jiang Wangyan said as he sat down on the sofa without any hesitation.

"Are you waiting for me to treat you to a meal?" Chen Yanzhi smiled and sat down beside him.

"Then you still have to owe me this meal. The program team will arrange for the guests to meet first tonight so they can get acquainted with each other."

These are some of the common procedures for variety shows. Otherwise, the guests don’t know each other, they can’t let go, and the show will hardly be successful.

Variety show newcomer Chen Yanzhi nodded, "Is there anything else I should pay attention to? Brother Yan, can you guide me?"

Jiang Wangyan laughed, "Since you call me brother now, I have to take good care of you."

After introducing some of the program's processes and experiences in recording, he also specifically reminded him of one thing.

"There's someone you need to be careful of. Don't offend him." Jiang Wangyan warned seriously, "Shen Que is well-known in the circle for his straightforwardness. His nickname is 'The King of Dissent in the Entertainment Circle'. If he doesn't like you, he will scold you directly."

"Who is it?" The name sounded familiar, but Chen Yanzhi couldn't remember it. There was real confusion in his eyes.

Jiang Wangyan couldn't help but patted his arm, "Are you from the entertainment industry? What is the name of this hotel we're staying in? Do you know?"

"Le Jia?" Chen Yanzhi thought for a moment and seemed to have seen him when he entered the door just now.

"Yes, from Shen Que's family." Jiang Wangyan's expression was very serious, "So, don't mess with him."

Le Jia is a nationally renowned hotel chain company, with hotels basically all over the country. So even though Shen Que has a bad temper and speaks directly without fear of offending people, he is someone that no one in the circle wants to or dares to offend.

Jiang Wangyan reminded him so seriously, Chen Yanzhi quickly expressed his opinion and nodded seriously. He felt that he had a good temper and should not easily conflict with others.

"But there's no need to be too nervous. Although Shen Que has a bad temper, he is still a reasonable person." Jiang Wangyan added.

"I know, I know." Chen Yanzhi nodded obediently. He was quite interested in Shen Que after hearing what he said. He sounded like a very wonderful person.

Jiang Wangyan held his chin with his hand and said, "Stop nodding. Your head is about to shake."

"I'm afraid that Brother Yan won't take me with him, so I have to show my good attitude." Chen Yanzhi said seriously.

"Hahaha, no matter what your attitude is, Brother Yan keeps his word."

"Okay, Brother Yan, please sit for a while. I'll go pack my luggage." Chen Yanzhi stood up and said.

Jiang Wangyan cooperated and waved his hand, indicating "Go ahead, don't worry about me."

At around five o'clock, the program crew came to notify us that dinner had been prepared at the hotel and asked all the guests to gather in advance and get to know each other.

Chen Yanzhi and Jiang Wangyan went down together. The director and producer of the program group were already there. Three permanent guests were also there, except Shen Que. The other flying guests had not arrived yet.

With Jiang Wangyan's introduction, Chen Yanzhi got to know the others briefly, except that the person he wanted to see the most, Shen Que, was not there. The director said that his flight was delayed and he would not arrive until midnight.

I didn’t see the person I wanted to see, but the person I didn’t want to see suddenly appeared.

When Song Yian appeared at the door, Chen Yanzhi didn't know how to describe his mood. He felt a sense of helplessness like a fate.

Moreover, he came to promote his new drama "Meeting You Again in Falling Flowers", which was overshadowed by "The Murderer". "The Murderer" has been aired, but Song Yian's drama is still being aired.

"Everyone is here, let's sit down and eat first." The director invited everyone to sit down.

There were nine guests in total, and coincidentally, Song Yian sat opposite Chen Yanzhi again.

The two looked at each other and nodded in greeting.

Since Song Yian still wants to maintain superficial harmony, he will accompany her.

"Didn't you ask me about Song Yian before? Why do I feel like there's something weird between you two?" Jiang Wangyan leaned close to Chen Yanzhi's ear and whispered.

"You're quite perceptive." Chen Yanzhi looked at him in surprise and confessed, "Song Yian and I may have a grudge."

Jiang Wangyan was even more surprised than him. What kind of conflict could be described with the word "hatred"? "Really? What kind of hatred?"

Chen Yanzhi hesitated for two seconds and said hesitantly: "Maybe... revenge for stealing my wife?"

"Aren't you single?!" Jiang Wangyan was shocked.

Chen Yanzhi waved his hand and said, "Of course I'm single, that's what I mean."

If you are engaged but not married, you are considered single.

"Wangyan, what are you two talking about? You're gesticulating so much." The director noticed their movements and asked.

Jiang Wangyan relaxed his expression and replied, "Nothing, just talking about recent work."

"Speaking of which, Yanzhi's latest drama is pretty good. My wife is following it and I watched it too. He acted really well." The speaker was a male actor from the resident cast.

At this point, everyone started talking about "The Murderer". After all, it is a very popular TV series in recent times and everyone has heard of it a little.

Chen Yanzhi could feel the burning gaze from Song Yian, and probably wanted to punch him twice.

But he didn't care. He humbly accepted everyone's compliments and praised other people's works. The atmosphere at the table was harmonious.

Except Song Yian.

Before he came, he didn't know that Chen Yanzhi would come, otherwise he would not have participated in this episode. Doing the drama promotion together was like a slap in the face.

When everyone was chatting, they also mentioned "Meeting You Again in the Time of Falling Flowers", but they were obviously not as enthusiastic as when they talked about "The Murderer", they just mentioned it in passing.

After the meal, the guests became more familiar with each other.

Chen Yanzhi didn't eat much of the food, but he felt a lot more hatred.

After the show, Jiang Wangyan put his arm around Chen Yanzhi's shoulder and went back to their room together. They lived on the same floor.

"Hey, do you and Song Yian really not get along?" He still couldn't help gossiping, so he approached Chen Yanzhi and asked.

"Really? Didn't you notice that the way he looked at me was like a knife?" Chen Yanzhi didn't treat him as an outsider and said directly.

Jiang Wangyan thought about it for a moment and said, "It seems not. He always looks at people like that."

"Okay, don't involve you in the feud between me and him."

Jiang Wangyan glanced at him helplessly, "Brother or not, what are you talking about? I'm just gossiping."

"Okay, brother, Brother Yan, please take care of me tomorrow." Chen Yanzhi patted his shoulder solemnly. Song Yian was probably waiting to set a trap for him.

"Ah? Oh, okay." Jiang Wangyan looked confused, wondering why they were talking about this again, but he still agreed.

They quickly returned to their respective rooms and Chen Yanzhi quickly washed up and rested.

The director said that we will start recording early tomorrow morning.

In a daze, I felt like I had forgotten something and fell asleep before I could remember.
