MFIMM Chapter 63

Variety Show

After getting off the plane, the alphas took the initiative to carry the luggage. After leaving the airport, a van stopped in front of them, and the suitcases were put into another car. The six people sat in the van.

“Why did you guys come to this show?” Jiang Xubai, who can’t stop talking, hadn’t even warmed his butt on the seat before he started babbling again.

Chi Qi was already used to him like this, sitting on the side without saying a word.

Jiang Xubai blinked his eyes and scanned the faces of everyone present, then landed on Lin Xi.

“Um… because I can travel at public expense,” Lin Xi said honestly.

Jiang Xubai suddenly reached out, making a high-five gesture. Lin Xi was stunned. Jiang Xubai stretched his hand forward again, reminding Lin Xi.

Lin Xi hesitantly gave Jiang Xubai a high-five.

“I also joined this travel variety show as soon as I heard about it because I can travel at public expense,” Jiang Xubai said with a smile, like a cute cat.

Chi Qi couldn’t help but pinch Jiang Xubai’s cheek, “You love to eat and play.”

Lin Xi chuckled. These two were really a happy couple, just like they were online.

Jiang Xubai wasn’t angry at being pinched by Chi Qi. He called out “Chi Qi” affectionately, pouting his mouth in dissatisfaction.

Chi Qi pursed his lips and decisively let go of Jiang Xubai before he couldn’t help but kiss him.

Jiang Xubai couldn’t stay still again and looked at Pei Jiashu.

Pei Jiashu put his arm around Lin Xi’s shoulders, “Of course, I listen to my wife.”

“Ew,” Jiang Xubai wanted to look at the two quiet people sitting in the corner, “Teacher Li and Teacher Sheng?”

The two people who were cued looked at each other. Sheng Yan rubbed his forehead and said, “We’ve been too busy with work recently, and we haven’t had much time together. This show came to us, so we took it.”

“Sure enough, everyone came because they can travel at public expense. But where is this place? The environment looks pretty good.”

The van gradually passed through the tall buildings and drove onto a green, leafy country road.

The road in front changed from asphalt to blue brick and tile, and all that could be seen were steps upon steps. The car couldn’t drive any further and stopped here.

They got out of the car one after another.

The staff put the suitcases in front of them one by one and said to them, “If you follow these steps, you’ll see the program team’s logo. The couple who arrives at the cottage first has the right to choose their room first.”

Hearing that there was a priority selection right, everyone was eager to try, even Sheng and Li, the couple who hadn’t said much along the way, started to move.

Lin Xi grabbed his suitcase, intending to carry it himself, but Pei Jiashu quickly took the suitcase from his hand.

“I’ll do it myself. There are steps ahead.”

The others also looked at Lin Xi because the program team required them to bring only two suitcases, so everyone basically carried very large suitcases.

Lin Xi could carry it himself, but it was a bit difficult because it was packed too full.

Pei Jiashu’s action directly ignited the motivation of the remaining two alphas, who rushed forward to snatch their wives’ suitcases.

However, it wasn’t easy to carry two suitcases alone up the stairs. After climbing a section of stairs, the three of them were already a little out of breath.

Lin Xi ran to the front. There was a flat road ahead, followed by more stairs.

“Why don’t you carry your suitcase to find the house first, and then come back to pick me up?”

Pei Jiashu looked at the stairs in front of him. Lin Xi’s method was indeed faster than his current one. He returned Lin Xi’s suitcase to him.

But seeing Lin Xi’s expression, he couldn’t help but switch suitcases, leaving his own suitcase to Lin Xi.

“Let my suitcase stay with you first, and I’ll come to pick you up right away.”

After speaking, Pei Jiashu carried the front handle with one hand and the side handle with the other, able to stride up several steps at a time. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.

The others also quickly put down the other person’s suitcase and rushed forward.

The remaining three people looked at each other, picked up their suitcases, and tried to walk up the stairs.

Lin Xi didn’t exercise much usually. Just lifting the suitcase made his arms sore. Jiang Xubai tried it and immediately put down the suitcase, sitting on the suitcase, waiting for Chi Qi to return.

“It’s too heavy. I can’t lift it.”

Another guest didn’t even think about carrying the suitcase, leaning against the suitcase waiting for Sheng Yan to come back.

Only Lin Xi was still slowly carrying it up. To say that Pei Jiashu hadn’t taken many clothes, so there shouldn’t be much weight, but the remaining things were all his own.

After a while, Lin Xi climbed halfway. His arms were so sore that he had to put the suitcase down to catch his breath.

Jiang Xubai shouted from below, “Rest if you’re tired, or just wait there for your President Pei to come back. If you carry it like this, your arms will definitely be strained tomorrow.”

Lin Xi gritted his teeth. He wasn’t like Jiang Xubai and Li Zhijian. He and Pei Jiashu weren’t a real couple, and he really couldn’t sit comfortably below waiting for Pei Jiashu.

The staff took the opportunity to ask Jiang Xubai and Li Zhijian from below, “Why aren’t you carrying it? Wouldn’t that shorten the distance?”

Jiang Xubai waved his hand, “I can’t carry it.”

Li Zhijian glanced at the camera indifferently, “Sheng Yan told me to wait for him here.”

The staff ate two mouthfuls of dog food and went up to ask Lin Xi, “Why aren’t you resting below?”

Lin Xi used all his strength to slowly carry the suitcase to the top of the stairs. He was panting heavily, answering intermittently, “Because I want Pei Jiashu to be able to find me faster.”

As soon as Lin Xi finished speaking, a figure ran over from not far away, with the staff chasing after him.

“Don’t run so fast!”

“Lin Xi is waiting for me.”

Pei Jiashu was wearing a windbreaker, the hem of his coat flying behind him as he ran, revealing a pair of straight, long legs.

Lin Xi’s eyes widened. Pei Jiashu waved to him from afar and ran towards him even faster.

Pei Jiashu took the suitcase from Lin Xi’s hand. The staff next to him took the initiative to step aside. She looked at Lin Xi and Pei Jiashu, and her whole body was surrounded by pink bubbles.

“Is this why you have to run to see the person you love? I’m shipping them.”

Lin Xi’s face turned red because of this sentence, but Pei Jiashu grabbed his hand and asked, “Why didn’t you wait for me below?”

Lin Xi’s originally fair palm had turned red at the tiger’s mouth due to the friction of the suitcase.

“Let’s go quickly,” Lin Xi said to Pei Jiashu.

This was a flat road. Pei Jiashu took Lin Xi’s hand with one hand and pulled the suitcase behind him with the other, running on the road.

The temperature here was higher than A City. The cool breeze of early spring blew on their faces, and the fresh air filled their nostrils. The suitcase made a rumbling sound on the stone road. A group of photographers behind them were carrying cameras and chasing after them.

But Lin Xi seemed to hear nothing and see nothing. All that was left in front of him was Pei Jiashu.

They were like people eloping. He didn’t even know where the destination was.

But as long as he held Pei Jiashu’s hand, he felt like he could go anywhere.

In the end, Lin Xi and Pei Jiashu were the first to arrive at the cottage, winning the priority selection right.

The program team had rented a small villa here. The villa seemed to be growing in greenery, of course, it couldn’t compare to the luxurious bungalows like the Pei Family Old House.

The villa had a small courtyard, the walls around it were covered with ivy, and the courtyard was also planted with various plants.

There were three floors in total, with rooms on the second and third floors. There was one room on each floor. The layout of the rooms was similar, except that the rooms on the second floor didn’t have a private bathroom, only a public bathroom.

Lin Xi and Pei Jiashu decisively chose the master bedroom with a balcony and bay window on the third floor.

Sheng Yan was second and also chose another room on the third floor. Chi Qi and Jiang Xubai, who came in last, could only live in the room on the second floor.

“The fourth couple hasn’t arrived yet, so the public bathroom on the second floor is no different from a private bathroom for the time being,” Jiang Xubai’s brain was very peculiar.

Originally, Chi Qi beside him was a little down, but he couldn’t help but smile when he heard Jiang Xubai’s words. He ruffled Jiang Xubai’s hair, messing it up.

Jiang Xubai slapped Chi Qi’s arm several times, “Fix my hair!”

“No.”

“You messed it up, you fix it for me,” Jiang Xubai lowered his head, showing his hair to Sheng Yan, insisting that Sheng Yan fix it for him.

Lin Xi observed the two of them. Chi Qi usually looked like a very serious person on TV, but he didn’t expect to be like a primary school student with Jiang Xubai. He heard that they were childhood sweethearts, no wonder their relationship was so good.

Pei Jiashu followed Lin Xi’s gaze and asked Lin Xi, “Do you want to too?”

As he spoke, his hand was already on Lin Xi’s hair. Lin Xi quickly dodged and distanced himself from Pei Jiashu.

“No, I finally got my hairstyle permed. If you dare mess it up, you’re not allowed on the bed!”

“Then never mind,” Pei Jiashu waved his hand and happily followed Lin Xi upstairs with the suitcase.

They were going to live here for five or six days, so after entering the room, they began to sort out their things and put them in the right places.

Before long, Lin Xi lay on the bed, covering his stomach, “I’m so hungry.”

It was already two in the afternoon, and they hadn’t eaten anything for lunch.

“I’ll see if there’s anything in the kitchen downstairs that we can cook. I have some small bread in my backpack. You can fill your stomach with that first.”

Lin Xi took out the small bread, put it in his mouth, and walked downstairs.

Pei Jiashu was checking the kitchen. He waved to Lin Xi, “There’s nothing in the kitchen. We have to go buy groceries.”

The others heard the sound and came down as well. Everyone looked hungry.

The program team gave them a map with the location of the grocery shopping marked on it. At the same time, the program team also told them, “There’s a vegetable garden in the backyard with some ripe vegetables. You can also go there to pick vegetables.”

Lin Xi had a bad feeling when he heard this. The program team wouldn’t make them farm, would they?

Pei Jiashu’s expression also changed, “Let’s go to the vegetable garden first, and then we’ll go to the supermarket to buy some groceries.”
