On the day he was going to record the variety show “Singer-Songwriter”, An Yinong went alone. He grabbed his suitcase and took a car to the villa park in the suburbs. There were only a few manors on this low mountain. Each manor covered an area of several hundred acres and was bought by the wealthy for vacation and leisure. One of the manors was rented by the program team.
“That’s all, thank you.” He got out of the car and stood outside the gate with one person and one luggage. The light wind in early winter blew, and it was so cold.
The security guard at the door watched him, but did not let him go. He could not enter without a pass. An Yinong was going to send a text message to the contact person of the program team. Suddenly, he noticed a black car parked on the roadside. The window rolled down, revealing a familiar face.
“Brother Lu?” An Yinong saw Tang Yu (who reverted to his mother’s surname). He trotted over with his mobile phone and suitcase, and a smile on his face.
The mountains were covered with white plum blossoms and fallen maple leaves, but Tang Yu only saw his smile and the fresh air blowing through the window. Holding the steering wheel, he turned his face sideways, then turned back, his face a little warm. In his almost thirty years of life, this was the first time he felt such timidity in not daring to look at a person’s smile.
“Long time no see.” An Yinong had already run to the window and bent down to greet him.
Wearing white down jacket and a woolen hat, An Yinong looked like a college student, with a youthful energy that said “the future is infinitely bright.” Tang Yu looked at his wind-flushed face, and immediately took off his cashmere scarf.
“It’s cold, right? The temperature on the mountain is even lower than down here.”
“Ah? No, I…” An Yinong was wrapped in a warm scarf before he could refuse.
He touched the soft scarf and asked with a smile: “Why is Brother Lu here?”
Tang Yu touched the steering wheel. At first, he just knew the other was coming here to record, so he came over to take a sneak peek. However, he couldn’t hold it back in the end and pressed down the car window. “Ahem, I have a house here. Let me take you in.”
An Yinong looked back at the big iron gate, then turned to look at Tang Yu: “Isn’t it troublesome?”
“No.” I came here just for you, why would it be troublesome? Tang Yu opened the door and reached for the suitcase.
“I will do it myself……”
Tang Yu’s fingers touched An Yinong’s fingers that were blown by the cold wind. An Yinong retracted his hand and watched the man forcefully take away his suitcase and put it into the trunk.
An Yinong sat in the back seat. When he raised his head, he could see Tang Yu’s eyes in the rearview mirror. They were large and majestic. They were standard phoenix eyes, which was also An Yinong’s favorite eye shape. He didn’t wear glasses today and looked more mature than before.
“Brother Lu didn’t wear glasses today.”
“Yes. I changed my surname back to my mother’s.” Tang Yu carefully glanced at the rearview mirror and saw An Yinong’s eyes, which were filled with watery peach blossoms.
He felt warm in his heart and avoided looking at the other person: “If it’s hard to remember, why don’t you call me Brother Yu?”
Was the air in the car too stuffy? An Yinong also felt uncomfortable. He could be merciless to those who were strong and disrespectful, but he was gentle…
“Ahem, Yu, Brother Yu.” Anyway, it’s right for the older one to call him brother, but An Yinong broke the pot.
“Yeah.” Tang Yu was still serious, but his ears were slightly stained red.
Tang Yu really had a house, and the security guard let him enter as soon as he saw his license plate. The expensive car slowly climbed the hill. After climbing for a long time, it finally reached its destination.
“This is it, I’m here.”
An Yinong walked down and felt the cold wind blowing against his face, jolting him. Tang Yu then got out of the car and picked up his suitcase.
“It’s time for me to go.” Tang Yu got into the car, fastened his seat belt and started the car.
“Wait a minute, your scarf.” An Yinong quickly took off the scarf and chased after him, wanting to return it to its owner.
“I’ll leave it here for now, be careful not to catch a cold.”
An Yinong chased for a few steps but failed to catch up. He watched the car drive down the mountain.
At this time, the people in the villa came out and were surprised and surprised to see An Yinong: “Is it Teacher Ke? You are the only one?”
An Yinong nodded.
“Please come over here, it’s too cold outside. I was planning on going to pick you up.”
“A friend gave me a ride.”
“Friend? The owner of one of these manors on the mountain?” The only people who could come in, except those who had been greeted by their program team, were the owners of the manors along with their relatives and friends. No matter who they are, they are friends who are either rich or noble.
An Yinong smiled and said nothing. “Singer-Songwriter” was a very special variety show. He already found it interesting when watching it, and this feeling became even stronger when he joined it.
“Want to stay here for three days?” An Yinong looked up at the four-story classical European-style building.
“Yes, Teacher Ke, please come here.”
The staff led An Yinong to a small room at the door, and then he saw the complete set of airport security equipment. The staff holding the scanning equipment in their hands was already standing with a smile.
“Is it Teacher Ke? People go here and leave their luggage there.”
“Is it so strict?” An Yinong took off his cell phone and watch and put them in the basket, then spread his arms for him to check.
After everything was checked, the staff put his mobile phone away in a sealed bag: “Teacher Ke, you have three opportunities to contact the outside world, but you must be in a specific room. We will temporarily take care of this mobile phone for you. Don’t worry, No one else is allowed to touch it except you.”
“…” It was really strict. He didn’t expect it when he watched the show.
The staff led An Yinong to continue onward. They walked into an empty hall with six huge pillars on all sides. The ground was paved with symmetrical patterns of natural marble. There were also ladies in uniforms carrying plates. However, their steps were as soft as cats. There were also specially trained maids. What kind of family was this?
An Yinong looked around and found several monitors. He had seen seven or eight small ones along the way.
“Teacher Ke, don’t be nervous. The official filming will start tomorrow morning.” The staff looked around, “It’s an unexpected blessing to be able to borrow such a beautiful manor this time. The last few episodes of the show didn’t have such generous sponsors.”
An Yinong smiled and pulled the suitcase without answering.
This manor has its own large swimming pool and garden, as well as tennis courts and a mini zoo. It was very beautiful and one would not feel bored even if they stayed for three days. Because one episode of “Singer-Songwriter” took three days to film, it took roughly two days from setting the theme to creating it, and only one day from creation to singer singing. This had relatively high requirements for creators, and proposition composition was the same.
On the last day of performance, they came out from here and went directly to the studio, which would be broadcast live.This was a closed-book examination. From entering the examination room, knowing the questions, thinking, to writing the answers, the process was open and transparent, and all guests were under the monitor.
It can be said that, as far as possible, the program team had refused to ‘fake’. This was one of the reasons why “Singer-Songwriter” became so popular.
An Yinong came earlier, and now only one of the resident guests has arrived. She was a gentle and beautiful woman. When she was leaning against the door with a coffee cup and smiling, she really feels like time has passed.
“Teacher Bei.” An Yinong stopped three meters away and greeted her seriously.
When Beiyou saw his serious look, he laughed: “What’s your name, Teacher Bei? It’s too foreign, call me Sister Youyou.”
An Yinong relaxed: “Sister Youyou.”
“Oh, we have a handsome young man in our program team. Come on, come on, sing with me. What kind of songs do you like?” Beiyou took him to sing, and they sang several duet songs.
Then two more regular guests came, and they smiled politely. It was obvious that they had a general impression of An Yinong, maybe because he was from a traffic background, or because both judges had friendships with him.
But when Zhang Ruojun came over, the three resident guests all frowned, said hello and then pretended not to see him. An Yinong was instantly refreshed – there was someone even more unpleasant than him.
At this time, should the two new flying guests team up to overcome the challenge? No, it was impossible. An Yinong was just indifferent to Zhang Ruojun, but Zhang Ruojun’s rejection and awkwardness towards An Yinong was overwhelming.
“Long time no see. You’ve been very popular recently. I seem to see your name everywhere.” During dinner, Zhang Ruojun couldn’t control his sourness when he saw An Yinong and Beiyou getting along happily. Even if your voice changes, there are still so many people paying attention to you.”
An Yinong smiled: “Yes, didn’t you pay close attention to me?”
Zhang Ruojun’s face suddenly turned red: “I just saw you accidentally, I didn’t pay special attention.”
“Oh.” An Yinong spread his hands indifferently, not caring, but Zhang Ruojun became more concerned: What did he mean? Was it disdain?
Zhang Ruojun’s mood was complicated. He entered “Singer-Songwriter” just to defeat “Ke Yinong”. Who would have thought that this person also entered this variety show and was favored by two big bosses. They spoke online to protect him.
On the one hand, he was secretly happy, as if what he liked was recognized by others. On the other hand, he was deeply jealous, because he seemed to have lost even more than he did.
“It’s very late. Let’s go to bed early. There will be a formal event tomorrow.” The person in charge of the program team did not want to get involved in the guest’s internal affairs. After he said this, the guests dispersed.
Staff dressed as maids appeared and took them to the guest rooms.
“Wait, why is he going upstairs?” Zhang Ruojun noticed that the other guests were all on the second floor, and only An Yinong was led by the maid to continue upstairs.
“That’s right, because there are not enough available rooms on the second floor, a guest needs to stay elsewhere.” The maid smiled and nodded to An Yinong, “This guest, please come with me.”
Zhang Ruojun watched them go upstairs: “What a coincidence?”
An Yinong walked all the way to the fourth floor.
The decoration style on the fourth floor was different from that downstairs. From what he saw, the paintings hanging on the wall didn’t seem to be imitations. Or maybe it was imitated by a highly skilled painter, and it had more of an artistic flavor than the oil paintings downstairs.
“We’re here.” The maid stopped in front of a room.
He looked at it and saw that the door was no different from the one downstairs, so he took out the key and opened it. As soon as the door opened, the lights inside turned on, and a large modern European-style bedroom appeared in front of him.
The overall color was silver gray, with pink lines breaking the cold feeling, and lovely rose decorations could be seen everywhere. There was also a bouquet of roses inside, right at the head of the bed.
Stepping on the clean and soft wool blanket on the ground, An Yinong looked around: This house was so new, as if no one had ever lived in it. There was actually an intelligent control system on the wallpapered wall, and there were also TVs, stereos, projectors and other equipment in the room.
He took off the remote control and saw that in addition to controlling the smart home in the room, it could also contact the people downstairs.
“It’s so convenient. Even the three-layer curtains are electronically controlled, and the transparency of the window glass can be adjusted.” He tried it, and the glass changed from transparent to frosted in a few seconds.
There were two small doors on both sides of the bed. One side leads to the bathroom and the other side leads to the dressing room. Both the bathroom and the dressing room were larger than An Yinong’s own bedroom.
The strangest thing was that there were already a lot of clothes in the cloakroom. He picked them up and looked at them. They were all young men’s clothes. They all looked new and were about the same size as his.
“I feel like something is wrong.” An Yinong pulled his luggage out of the cloakroom and sat on the edge of the bed, thinking about something. Suddenly, he saw a strange mark next to the TV.
When he walked over and took a closer look, I found that it was a small hidden door. The cracks in the door blended perfectly with the pattern of the wallpaper, making it invisible at first glance.
“What’s next?”
After all, he couldn’t control his curiosity and opened the door. It was another room with complete soundproofing. There was a white piano in the room and a guitar hung on the wall.
“Wow.” His eyes lit up.
