Romance Variety Show: Director, there's something wrong with my script!

Chapter 32: Unaware of the Seriousness of the Problem

Soon, Xu Zhiyi and Su Qingyuan spotted Chen Yuan in the crowd and waved to him.

Immediately, many people looked in the direction the two beautiful women were waving, and saw a handsome man walking over, making all the men present envious.

But why do young people these days seem to prefer taking the train?

Chen Yuan returned carrying a bag containing only a few bottles of water, but did not immediately mention that the money had been lost.

"Let's go, it's time to check tickets." He took the suitcase and led the two to start queuing.

Xu Zhiyi and Su Qingyuan nodded and followed behind Chen Yuan. Looking at the several long queues, they felt their heads buzzing. This scene was somewhat shocking to them.

As time passed, the line moved little by little.

Chen Yuan was also somewhat surprised. He hadn't taken a train in a long time, and he didn't expect there to be so many people at the train station.

The last time I took a train was more than a decade ago. Back then, I traveled alone to the north, a journey that took more than ten hours.

He had a hard time sleeping all night. The entire carriage was filled with the smell of smoke, sunflower seeds being splattered everywhere, and instant noodles, all in a cramped environment.

During the long night, he didn't even dare to get up to go to the toilet, because if he stood up, someone would sit down next to him.

Despite the development of rail transportation, trains remain a common mode of transportation for many people.

However, some routes have indeed become tourist routes.

It's normal that Xu Zhiyi and Su Qingyuan weren't used to it. What was surprising was that neither of them showed any disgust or resistance. Even their complaints were only made in private.

Soon, it was their turn to pass through the gate.

Chen Yuan put all three of their suitcases onto the conveyor belt in one go, then passed through the ticket check, and then picked up their luggage at the other end.

Xu Zhiyi and Su Qingyuan followed after having their tickets checked, took their suitcases, and stayed close to Chen Yuan.

"Let me see, it should be at the very front of the carriage." Chen Yuan glanced at his ticket and then walked towards the front of the train following the signs on the ground.

Looking at the massive machine in front of her, Su Qingyuan exclaimed, "It looks completely different from the high-speed rail; it's like an antique."

"It's the train from my memory." Xu Zhiyi looked up at the thing and recalled the memory of sitting in a hard seat for more than ten hours back then.

The three of them arrived at the front of the train. Chen Yuan showed his ticket to the staff member, then boarded the train with his suitcase. The other two followed suit and showed their tickets to the staff member as well.

After getting on the bus, Chen Yuan walked ahead, following the arrows to find their private compartment.

The clean and tidy corridor surprised Chen Yuan. He didn't expect it to be so different from what he remembered. But then again, he used to sit in a hard seat.

"Isn't this pretty good? It's as clean as the high-speed rail." Su Qingyuan looked at the corridor windows, which even had curtains hanging, and it didn't seem so scary after all.

"Yes...it is true." Xu Zhiyi was stunned, looking around at everything in front of her. She hadn't expected the sleeper berth to be so clean and simple.

"Alright, this is it." Chen Yuan suddenly stopped and opened the door to the private room in front of him. What came into view was a four-person compartment.

There is a window, a small table that can be folded up and down, and a bunk bed on each side. The bunk beds are quite clean.

"Not bad, this journey doesn't seem so grueling anymore," Chen Yuan said in surprise, then carried his luggage inside and placed it in the aisle.

At least the environment is nice.

However, for four people, the private room was still quite cramped to accommodate their luggage.

Chen Yuan put his suitcase away and then chose an upper bunk to climb up.

Xu Zhiyi and Su Qingyuan naturally stayed in the lower bunks. After looking around, they put their luggage down and sat on their bunks, while the other upper bunk was obviously for the photographer.

"I need a lower bunk," the photographer suddenly said.

"what!"

"Oh, right." Su Qingyuan was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then realized that it would be more convenient to take pictures on the lower bunk. She blinked and looked at Xu Zhiyi, preparing to give up her spot.

"I'll go to the top bunk," Xu Zhiyi said.

"I'll go, it's not easy for you to climb up and down wearing this," Su Qingyuan said, and without waiting for her reply, she gave up her spot and climbed up to the upper bunk above her.

Xu Zhiyi glanced at her dress and nodded slightly.

After everyone was seated in their berths, Chen Yuan sat cross-legged with his back against the carriage, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "By the way, I have something to tell you."

Su Qingyuan and Xu Zhiyi remained silent upon hearing this, waiting for him to continue.

"I just checked, and the remaining two hundred-plus yuan after buying the water is missing. It probably got lost on the way back from buying the water," Chen Yuan said in a heavy tone.

"what?"

"Should we go back to look for it?" Su Qingyuan asked in surprise.

"We're about to leave. No one will wait for you for a few hundred dollars," Xu Zhiyi said.

"Okay, but it's alright. Luckily, it's only a few hundred yuan, not a lot," Su Qingyuan comforted her, completely unaware that there was anything wrong with it.

"Yes, that's right." Xu Zhiyi thought for a moment and agreed, even though she felt it might cause some minor trouble.

"..."

Seeing how calm the two were, Chen Yuan realized that he had been building up his emotions for nothing and that there was actually a big problem. This meant that they had nothing to eat or drink except for three bottles of water.

Although it's possible to go for twenty-odd hours without food or water, it must be very uncomfortable, and the two of them didn't seem to have thought about that.

"But you really are clumsy. Is that why you haven't been able to write a song in three years?" Su Qingyuan sighed as she lay on the bed, looking at him.

"You can't talk about him like that," Xu Zhiyi said, trying to stop him. "Chen Yuan is just a little slow-witted."

"..." Chen Yuan chose to ignore their words.

"Waaaaah~~~"

Suddenly, the train sounded its whistle, preparing to depart. A moment later, the train slowly began to move.

Su Qingyuan lay on the upper bunk, pulled the curtains to the maximum, and looked out the window curiously.

Xu Zhiyi glanced at the passing scenery outside the window, then took a book out of her backpack.

The photographer: "..."

Did guest Xu Zhiyi take the books from the villa?

"what!"

Xu Zhiyi suddenly exclaimed, then looked at the book cover and frowned.

"What's wrong?" Su Qingyuan poked her head out from above and asked.

"It's nothing," Xu Zhiyi shook her head and muttered softly, "I just took the wrong book..."

Outside the window, the light and shadows alternated, and the train began to pick up speed after leaving the platform.

The private room fell silent again, with the occasional sound of Xu Zhiyi turning the pages of a book.

Su Qingyuan lay there watching for a while, then fell asleep at some point.

Chen Yuan was shocked to see this. How could this guy manage to sleep on his stomach?

At this time, the other two groups had already set off.

The second filming phase of "Heartbeat 30 Days" has begun, and the variety show, which is a frequent topic of trending searches online, is still incredibly popular.

Licheng...

Li Xin was about to leave work when she suddenly received a notification from the company asking her to keep Chen Yuan's song "Fingerprint" for the company's singer to sing.

She glanced at it, didn't reply, and pretended not to see it, continuing to pack her things.

In fact, Jiang Yichen's idea was not wrong. He could verbally agree on the deal for the song and then complete a formality later.

Knowing this, the company hoped she would use their friendship to retain the song.

She certainly wouldn't do that.

"What was the reason again?" Li Xin muttered, recalling something: years ago, Chen Yuan had offered to resign, but she had refused.

Looking out at the lights of thousands of homes, Li Xin could no longer remember why she had refused.
