Chapter 70

Chapter 70

As dawn broke, Jiang Bai, still in a sleepy haze, heard faint sounds of brushing teeth and washing up from the bathroom. He slowly opened his eyes.

Lu Yao came out of the bathroom and saw Jiang Bai slowly sitting up in bed, still in a groggy state.

Seeing Jiang Bai in this dazed state was rare for Lu Yao. His expression softened slightly, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes.

Jiang Bai, after a moment of adjusting, saw that Lu Yao had already opened the door and left the room.

Seeing Lu Yao's disappearing figure, Jiang Bai pursed his lips in annoyance.

Was Lu Yao deliberately avoiding him because he saw Jiang Bai awake? Jiang Bai didn't want to think this way, but it seemed somewhat reasonable.

Just a few steps out of the room, Lu Yao encountered Niel, who was running up to him with short legs.

Niel stopped in front of Lu Yao and looked up, "Brother, can we go have breakfast now?"

Although it was called breakfast, it was more like brunch, as there were no filming arrangements for the morning, so everyone had woken up a bit later.

The production staff had already prepared various foods in the dining room.

Before Jiang Bai woke up, Niel had knocked on Lu Yao's door, asking if he could accompany him for breakfast.

Worried that Niel's noise might disturb Jiang Bai, Lu Yao had asked Niel to wait outside for a while, saying he would come out soon.

After everyone finished brunch, the director of the show signaled the staff to start preparing for the recording of the second episode.

The success of the first episode, in terms of viewership and discussion, had the director smiling broadly and still excited.

The most talked-about topics online were Lu Yao, Jiang Bai, and Niel.

The interactions of these three in the first episode made many viewers think that, given their presence, the show was worth following. Unfortunately, since none of them had social media accounts, viewers had to wait for the next week's episode to see more content related to them.

Although Xia Yue gained a lot of fans from her performance in the maze, with her social media account gaining nearly 200,000 genuine followers in one day, she was frustrated that her popularity didn't match Lu Yao's and was even less than Niel's. She felt the show was biased, giving Lu Yao and his group more screen time, while her own appearances were few and far between.

However, she didn't consider that the production team had to focus on the show's entertainment and watchability. While Xia Yue had a combination of beauty and intelligence, her performance in the maze, especially compared to the lively dynamic between Chen Mantou and Yu Qiaoqiao, was less engaging.

Xia Yue believed that Lu Yao's popularity was likely due to their first-place finish in the maze challenge. She resolved to tackle the production team's challenges head-on in the second episode and outshine Lu Yao and his group.

For today's escape room challenge, the production team made major, easily removable renovations to the castle's interior.

Off-camera, the director, sitting on a small stool, spoke to Lu Yao and the others sitting on the living room sofa, "Has anyone visited the ranch behind the castle?"

Chen Mantou nodded, "We took a tour yesterday. Isn't it just a place with cattle and sheep? Is there something special about it?"

The director smiled, "The beef and lamb from this ranch are known for their exceptional quality in Chuan City and are especially suited for grilling. Therefore, the production team plans to host an outdoor barbecue bonfire party on the grass outside the castle tonight."
