Chapter 10: Zhang Yang! And you said you didn't know the secret arts of Yin-Yang Feng Shui!

Time passed quickly. Along the way, the two bickered and played, and their relationship grew closer.

Although not exactly intimate, it was enough to make the viewers in the livestream ship them hard.

Soon, the two arrived at their destination: Pingtan Village!

They stood in front of a small, one-story house.

It looked a bit like the Mushroom House from *Back to Field*, with a quiet, secluded environment.

The trees were lush, and there was a small patio in front of the door, along with a vegetable patch growing all sorts of greens.

"Wow, the scenery here is really nice. The environment is great."

Bai Lu was very satisfied with this house becoming their "love nest."

"Hmm, the production team has a conscience. It's nestled against the mountains and near the water, with a Green Dragon on the left and a White Tiger on the right—a Feng Shui layout. Whether for a grave or a home, it's a treasure spot."

Zhang Yang looked around, pretending to pinch his fingers in calculation.

A grave???!!

This made Bai Lu, standing to the side, feel her scalp tingle!

"That... that, Zhang Yang, there really isn't anything unclean here, is there?"

"Bai Lu, I have to criticize you. We are all people who have received nine years of compulsory education; we are firm materialists. How can you believe in these ghost and god stories?"

Zhang Yang looked at Bai Lu with an expression of disbelief.

"Then why did you just say this was a grave?"

Bai Lu looked at Zhang Yang pitifully.

She, Bai Bai Mengyan, feared neither heaven nor earth, but she was terrified of these ethereal ghosts.

"Uh, I'm no Tomb Raider, nor do I know any 'Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Arts.' How would I know how to read Feng Shui? I was just joking with you."

Zhang Yang revealed a hearty smile.

In Bai Lu's eyes, this smile looked a bit sleazy.

Sure enough, the deep emotion from when he was singing earlier was just her illusion; Zhang Yang was still that annoying guy.

Meanwhile, the livestream was in an uproar!

"Tomb Raider? 'Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Arts'? Is Zhang Yang also a fan of *Ghost Blows Out the Light*?"

"This is a dream crossover! I didn't expect Brother Yang to be a fan of this book too!"

"It's a pity Zhuang Sheng only wrote two volumes. The promised third volume is nowhere in sight!"

"I wonder if we can get Brother Yang to urge the author? Make that lazy author update!"

"The second TV series is about to air, and there's not even a shadow of the third volume. I've waited until my flowers have withered!"

"This is a dating show, not a book fan livestream. Don't go off-topic!"

"Exactly, exactly. I'm here to ship the couple, not to chase novels, even though I'm a fan too!"

…………

"Bai Lu, wait a second!"

Zhang Yang called out to stop Bai Lu, who was about to open the door.

"What's wrong?"

Bai Lu turned around, looking at Zhang Yang strangely.

"You don't understand. Let me open the door. It looks like no one has lived here for a long time!"

Under Bai Lu's puzzled gaze, Zhang Yang walked to the door, knocked three times gently, and then shouted.

"Opening the door, sorry to disturb everyone!"

Big Brother!

Aren't you a successor of socialism?

A firm materialist?

What was that just now?

Bai Lu looked at Zhang Yang, feeling a bit unsettled.

"Zhang Yang! And you said you didn't know the secret arts of Yin-Yang Feng Shui!"

Uh, why does this line sound so familiar?

But Zhang Yang continued to explain anyway. ===== CHAPTER 20 =====

"This isn't Feng Shui, nor is it superstition. It's a rule passed down by our ancestors. In places where no one has lived for a long time, you must knock first to show respect. Even the documentary about the Forbidden City has this scene. It's the safest way."

Bai Lu followed timidly behind Zhang Yang. As soon as she stepped into the wooden house, she felt a chill and couldn't help but shiver.

"Zhang Yang, do you feel that the temperature inside is lower than outside? It feels kind of eerie!"

"Uh, that's not eerie. It's just because the temperature inside is naturally cooler than outside. That's normal!"

"Oh, so that's it. Then I'm relieved!"

Bai Lu let out a sigh of relief and began to look around their new "temporary home."

Two rooms and a living room—small as a sparrow, but it had everything it needed.

It was just that no one had lived here for too long, so there was quite a bit of dust on the floor and furniture.

The Female Director stepped in at the right time.

"Due to time constraints, today's final task is to clean your love nest together. Tomorrow, we will issue new tasks. If you complete them, you can earn love funds. Get a good rest tonight."

"What happens if we don't do the tasks? Do we not get love funds?"

Zhang Yang asked, stroking his chin.

"Yes, that's right. If you don't complete the tasks, you won't be able to earn love funds."

"Hmm, our initial fund is [amount], and we spend [amount] a day. Can we just not go out for a month?"

"What? Spend [amount] a month? How are you going to do that?"

Bai Lu looked at Zhang Yang in disbelief.

"That's simple. One meal a day, I can make you three dishes and a soup!"

"Uh, that won't work. What about fruit and snacks?"

"Hey... you're a female celebrity. To keep your figure, eating three meals and skipping two is normal, right? Aren't you afraid of getting fat from snacks?"

"Pah! I'm a fairy, how could I get fat?"

……………

Watching the two fall into endless bickering, the Female Director felt both angry and amused.

"Stop, stop...! You two, stop arguing! The production team's tasks must be participated in; whether you complete them is another matter."

Hearing the Female Director's words, Bai Lu looked at Zhang Yang provocatively.

Little brat!

I didn't expect that besides being a straight man, Zhang Yang is also a homebody!!

Zhang Yang could only shrug helplessly. Now he was a fish on the production team's chopping block, left to be slaughtered.

Although he could fully afford the production team's breach-of-contract fee, the "Old Buddha" at home couldn't be handled with money alone.

Zhang Yang had no choice but to stay here. Falling in love with a beautiful celebrity actually seemed pretty good.

Afterwards, the two cleaned the house together.

By the time the cleaning was finished, it had already turned dark.

The Female Director left with the staff, leaving only a few cameras and the two of them in the house.

This was the first time the two were alone. They hadn't noticed while busy, but now that they stopped, the atmosphere felt a bit strange!

"I! You speak first!"

The two spoke in unison!

"The atmosphere is so pink and bubbly! Their relationship seems to have gotten closer!"

"This is so dramatic, my toes are curling so hard I could dig out a two-bedroom apartment!"

"I still like watching them be a bickering couple!"

"They are just too abnormal!"

"The atmosphere feels a bit off. This definitely isn't that simple!"

……………

"I'm dirty from cleaning. I'm going to take a shower first."

Bai Lu said, then tried to get up from the sofa.

"Wait! I was just about to say I wanted to shower too. We cleaned together, why should you get to go first!"

Zhang Yang put on an expression of defending his right to shower to the death!

"Zhang Yang! You're despicable!"

Bai Lu picked up a cushion from the sofa and threw it at Zhang Yang.

The livestream was also very...

"Hahaha, as expected of Zhang Yang! He didn't disappoint!"

"They're fighting again. Zhang Yang is just too straight!"

"I feel bad for Lulu for three seconds, but it's still so funny!"

"You fake fan! Go Lulu! Make Zhang Yang fall at your feet, then dump him and let him taste the bitterness of love!"

"I agree with the person above. Go Bai Lu!"
