As the director announced the start of the game, Zhuo Fan and Fang Zhongwen charged forward like a shot.
Ye Jingxing froze for a moment, then also dashed out. Midway, he felt something was amiss. Slapping his forehead, he ran back, scooped up the small bundle standing on the ground, tucked it under his arm, and sped off again. Nuan Nuan, bewildered, was held under the arm by her fourth uncle. She blinked her innocent big eyes, her two short legs dangling unconsciously, her little hair tie bobbing up and down with Ye Jingxing's running.
"Fourth Uncle?" Nuan Nuan called out softly.
"Nuan Nuan, don't worry, your Fourth Uncle will definitely get you the best place to stay."
"Thank you, Fourth Uncle, but..."
"Nuan Nuan, you have to trust Fourth Uncle. Even though Fourth Uncle started late, I'll definitely surpass them." Ye Jingxing looked forward with determination.
"But Director Uncle said we need to find tickets!" Nuan Nuan patted her little hair that was flying up due to the running, looking dazed.
Ye Jingxing slammed on the brakes, nearly falling to his knees, but managed to steady himself.
"That's right! We need to find accommodation tickets! Then why am I running?" He hadn't thought much of it when the other two started running, so he just followed.
"Fourth Uncle, can Nuan Nuan get down now?"
Nuan Nuan kicked her little legs in mid-air. From behind, she looked like a flailing little fat fish.
"Ah! I'm so sorry, Nuan Nuan, are you alright!" Ye Jingxing realized and quickly put Nuan Nuan down.
"No! Nuan Nuan had so much fun~" Nuan Nuan smiled, revealing a row of tiny teeth.
"Then is this fun?" Ye Jingxing asked, lifting Nuan Nuan up and tossing her, then catching her again.
"Hahaha~ Fun, Fourth Uncle is amazing!" Nuan Nuan's rosy cheeks deepened in color with happiness.
Seeing Nuan Nuan so happy, Ye Jingxing, with a clear mind, began to play with her.
"Guests, please pay attention, do not get too engrossed in cuddling children! Focus on the mission!" The director's blood pressure started to rise as soon as he saw Ye Jingxing slacking off again.
[Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter, why is Ye Jingxing so silly?]
[The filter in my heart has shattered, Brother! Brother!]
[You ran without even thinking, what are you here for? To see who runs faster?]
[Please put down the child in your arms and give them to me!]
Meanwhile, Zhuo Fan and Fang Zhongwen had already rushed into the villa area. They stood dumbfounded at the entrance.
"Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?" Zhuo Fan's mind was a constant stream of questions as he stood at the villa entrance.
"Zhuo Fan, why were you running?" Fang Zhongwen asked, panting behind him.
"I don't know! As soon as the director shouted 'start', I just wanted to run out." Zhuo Fan was also a bit confused now.
"Then why did you run, Brother Fang?"
"I ran because you were running!" Fang Zhongwen replied impatiently.
"Alright, let's hurry and search! There's only one ticket." Fang Zhongwen waved his hand and entered the villa.
Seeing this, Zhuo Fan quickly entered another one. Both of them had forgotten about the children, and Fang Lei and Zhuo Wenxing, who were still standing in place, were just spinning in circles.
Everyone busied themselves rummaging through drawers and cabinets, finding quite a few meal tickets, but no villa accommodation tickets.
"I can't do this anymore, I've almost torn up the floor searching, and I still can't find it." Zhuo Fan sat on the ground, saying weakly.
"There really isn't any!" Fang Zhongwen was very puzzled about where it could be.
"What about you, Jingxing?"
"I didn't search! I found the ticket for the wooden cabin, it was easy to find. I took it after looking around once." Ye Jingxing patted his pockets and showed them the ticket.
Chen Yi was also a bit disheveled. She finally didn't have to stay in that rustic farmhouse; who wouldn't want to stay in a villa?
"You don't have to spend all your time focused on the villas. Otherwise, you'll end up losing more than you gain," the director shouted at them through the megaphone.
"Forget it, I give up. Other places are fine too. I thought that wooden cabin looked quite stylish just now." Fang Zhongwen clapped his hands, announcing his withdrawal from the villa competition.
"I quit too." Zhuo Fan surrendered with both hands raised.
"Director, can you give us another hint? This place is too big." Chen Yi still didn't want to give up. Having lived in a villa, she didn't want to stay in those small cabins if she had a choice.
"It's in the first villa you entered. That's all I can say."
"Never mind, I've searched everywhere, and if it's not there, it's not there."
Zhuo Fan shook his head. It wasn't like they absolutely had to stay in a villa. The accommodation at this resort was very high-class, even the hotel rooms there. Finding a villa ticket was just for fun.
"Nuan Nuan has a ticket~" Nuan Nuan held up a golden ticket with her little hand.
"Ah! Nuan Nuan, where did you find it? I didn't see you searching!" Ye Jingxing was very surprised.
"How could you possibly get it? I put it in the safe!" The director exclaimed as he walked over.
"Director, that's not fair! How are we supposed to play if you lock it in a safe?" Zhuo Fan said with an expression that implied the director was a sly old fox.
"That Uncle gave it to Nuan Nuan!" Nuan Nuan pointed to a staff member in a white shirt and tie in the distance.
"Nuan Nuan asked Uncle where the ticket was, and Uncle gave it to Nuan Nuan."
The camera panned over, and the man waved friendly greetings to everyone.
"Do you remember the password? The key is with me, how did you open it?" the director asked huffily.
"Oh, you left in too much of a hurry. You didn't take the spare key," the man replied calmly.
"What's going on? Didn't you agree to cooperate with us unconditionally?" The director indignantly took out his megaphone and roared.
"Our Mr. Ye said that everything must prioritize the young lady and satisfy her every need," the man replied with a smile, unhurriedly.
The director's blood pressure was truly starting to spike now.
"Hahaha! Our Nuan Nuan is too amazing!" Ye Jingxing happily tossed Nuan Nuan up.
"Daddy said! If there's anything, just find the Uncle wearing white inside."
It turned out that Ye Jinghuai had informed Nuan Nuan about the filming at the resort after lending it to the production team.
He had also told her that winning or losing the game wasn't important; if there was anything, she should find the staff members in white shirts. Therefore, Nuan Nuan hadn't brought anything with her this time, as she just needed to find the uncles and aunts in white clothes if she needed anything.
"Of course, our special privilege is only for the young lady. Mr. Ye said the fourth young master still lacks training, so he is not included."
"No, Nuan Nuan and I are together!" Ye Jingxing pointed to himself, unable to believe his second brother would do this to him.
"Mr. Ye said that the fourth young master cannot always rely on his niece; he must learn to survive on his own!"
[I'm sure of it now, Nuan Nuan is indeed the bug in the show.]
[Confirmed, Nuan Nuan has "money power".]
[You came to film in someone else's place, did you not expect them to give their daughter preferential treatment? Hahaha!]
[The director thought this plan was foolproof.]
[I'm sure of it, Ye Jingxing was adopted.]
[Truly, the biological brother is less favored than the biological daughter.]
"It's okay~ Fourth Uncle, Nuan Nuan can support you!" Nuan Nuan patted her chest, assuring him.
"Nuan Nuan, you are so thoughtful." Ye Jingxing was moved to tears.
[Confirmed, the title of "sugar baby" is something Emperor Ye will never be able to shake off.]
[Ye Jingxing: I'm a sugar baby, and I'm proud of it!]
[Hilarious! Even his own brother dislikes him relying on his niece.]
[Nuan Nuan: Sigh~ The burden on my shoulders is so heavy!]
"Who came up with the idea to film here?" the director asked the associate director with displeasure.
"Director, you readily agreed when you heard the venue was provided for free, and such a good place! You were smiling so happily," the associate director nearby didn't want to take the blame for the director!
"Can't I regret it now!"
The director felt his hair thinning even more.
