Chapter 117: Romantic Cabin Strategy System (35)

~8 min read 1,588 words

The National Beach Volleyball Team Shazhou Island training base.

Coach Guo is currently "deploying his troops":

"Chen, today at noon, bring out twelve percent of your culinary skills. You must ensure Xiao Xie eats and drinks well, and falls in love with the food at our base Canteen."

"No problem!" The Canteen head chef, Chen, snapped his fingers. "I'll go prepare the ingredients for lunch right now. What does Xiao Xie like to eat? Make a few more dishes she loves."

"……"

What does she like to eat?

How would he know that? They haven't even eaten a meal together yet!

"Whatever dishes can be obtained on the island, make them all! There's bound to be something she loves!"

"Got it!"

"Li, you are responsible for the reception throughout the day. Find opportunities to talk more about our team's benefits and perks."

After a pause, Coach Guo added: "Pick the good things to say."

Things like the overtime, closed-off training, and other schedule systems that might scare a young girl away should not be mentioned for now.

"Received!"

"Xiaoying, the task of accompanying her for fun is handed to you! Strive to persuade her to join our team while having fun."

"Okk! No problem!"

"Lao Guo." The men's team coach walked over to help offer ideas. "I heard that young girls nowadays prefer looking at young men's abs and pecs. Should we pick a few male team members to welcome the guests? If that's not enough, having them accompany her the whole time is fine too."

"Pfft, cough, cough—" Coach Guo had just taken a sip of water and nearly choked. "Isn't that going a bit too far?"

"What's too far about it! When people sell cars at a 4S dealership, don't they also hire a few handsome men and beautiful women to stand in front of the cars? Young people nowadays all like this sort of thing."

"……"

Is that so?

Does that mean his thinking is behind the times?

"Then help me find a few male team members... if they aren't willing, then forget it."

"They're willing! How could they not be! Those bratty boys love to show off their physiques and muscles whenever they have nothing to do; today, let them show off to their heart's content."

"Coach, Coach, what are we doing?"

The other female team members who hadn't received a task gathered around, asking all at once:

"What task are you arranging for us? We also want to contribute."

"How about I take Sister Xie to visit our base's botanical garden? There wasn't enough time last time, and I didn't get to take her to see the flowers and plants we grow. I even want to give her a pot of my favorite one."

"Then I'll accompany her surfing, snorkeling, and riding jet skis? I see she quite likes these."

"And then accompany her to play a warm-up match. I saw she didn't have enough fun last time; today, let her play to her heart's content."

"Too much content won't do either." Coach Guo thought for a moment and said, "It's best if it's the kind where she plays very happily but is still left wanting more."

"……"

Understood!

It means satisfying her, but not completely satisfying her!

If she wants to be completely satisfied, then hurry up and join the big family of the beach volleyball team!

……

At ten o'clock in the morning, Xie Yang led a group of guests and staff from the program team and arrived at the beach volleyball training base in a grand procession.

The third "One-Day Date" of *Romantic Cabin* officially kicked off.

The title of the livestream room was still "One-Day Date," but the fans who had been waiting in the livestream room in advance all knew:

Today's date was extraordinary because it was an interaction with the National Beach Volleyball Team, which could be seen as a social mixer between brother units.

【Wow! The men's team also sent representatives to welcome them? Why are they out wearing swimming trunks? Did they just finish training?】

【Chong's pecs are so robust! Ahhh! Is this something I'm allowed to see? (Drool)】

【Ahhh! Little brother Huzi is there too! He's smiling so shyly!】

【The men's team representatives must have been carefully selected, right? How are they all so good-looking and have such great bodies!】

Never mind the netizens; the female guests were also overwhelmed by the sight, whispering to each other as they watched:

"My god! Are the beach volleyball players' bodies all this good? They don't look bad either; if I didn't know better, I'd think they were our peers."

"It's strange to say, but watching their matches before, I didn't think they were that eye-catching. Standing here today, I'm stunned!"

Coach Guo, who was talking to Xie Yang, heard the conversation between Liu Yang and Chen Anqi with their voices lowered: "……"

He thought to himself that it was because the matches they watched were either the Olympic Games or the Asian Games. In those formal competition settings, especially the finals, the ones who go on the court must be the official team members who are the most presentable and have the most confidence in winning points; who would care if they are handsome or not.

And the ones standing here today are the top ten young men in terms of overall physique and appearance, voted for by the entire men's team. More than half of them are still working hard on the bench and haven't yet appeared in major competitions.

To keep a good seedling like Xie Yang, one could say their group of coaches had racked their brains.

Xie Yang also took several looks; who doesn't love "scenery" that is pleasing to the eye?

Until a figure blocked her line of sight.

Zhou Hanqing didn't know when he had arrived at her side and handed her a bottle of water: "It's hot, drink more water, don't get heatstroke."

Seeing this, Coach Guo hurriedly looked at Li, who was in charge of logistics, his eyes seeming to question: Didn't I tell you to be in charge of the reception? Is this how you receive guests? You don't even hand someone a bottle of water? Do you have any common sense?

Li was full of grievances: Aren't we still at the entrance? The prepared tea, drinks, fruits, and snacks are all under the Coconut Tree at the back of the sea!

It was Liu Ying who was clever; she stepped forward to take Xie Yang's arm and said affectionately: "Sister Xie, you came at the right time today! The Canteen received a batch of super fresh seafood today, and Chef Chen is personally cooking to make his signature marinated seafood for us to eat. Besides seafood, what else do you like to eat? Don't be polite, just order! Chef Chen is my uncle; I'm pulling strings to have him make it for us."

Chef Chen: "……"

Hey, I picked up a cheap niece for nothing!

Xie Yang was actually a bit tempted when she heard "marinated seafood."

Don't look at the fact that the island isn't short of seafood, but there aren't many restaurants that can make authentic "marinated seafood."

The cook brought by the production team is a northerner; the pan-fried Fish, grilled Shrimp, and steamed Crab they make taste alright, but they aren't skilled at cold-dressed dishes in sauce, and every bite always feels like it's missing something.

"Then when it's time to eat in a while, I'll take you for a big feast!"

Liu Ying continued:

"Last time I took you to tour the base, time was tight, and weren't there a few places I didn't take you to? Today I'll take you for a proper look around; Yaya also wants to give you a pot of her favorite. The succulents she grows are chubby and super cute; you should pick one to take back and raise."

Xie Yang was surprised: "Your base even has a botanical garden?"

"Yeah! Because we often come here for training, this place is like half a home to us. The team allotted each of us a small plot of land so we'd have a good place to pass the time when we're resting. You get tired of always going into the sea to play in the water, right? So they gave us each a plot to grow things for fun; people grow all sorts of things—flowers, plants, vegetables, fruits..."

"Yaya is quite skilled at growing flowers and plants, and some people don't like to grow things, so they just let her plant flowers and plants there. After a long time, it's no different from a botanical garden, so we just call it the botanical garden."

Xie Yang nodded: "That's really not bad!"

"Sister Xie, do you like growing flowers and vegetables?"

"I do."

"I'll apply to the coach later for a plot for you to grow things for fun."

Xie Yang looked at her in surprise upon hearing this: "Wouldn't that be inappropriate?"

Her fan was perhaps too enthusiastic, so enthusiastic that she even dared to give away land from the base's botanical garden; she was afraid she would end up getting criticized by the coach later.

Liu Ying hurriedly winked at the coach.

Coach Guo chimed in at the right moment: "Xiao Xie, if you join our team, let alone a small plot, I could even carve out the land belonging to me and a few other coaches for you to grow things for fun."
