Although the "xenophobic" incident at breakfast was later proved to be a misunderstanding—
Richard was actually having stomach discomfort because of lactose intolerance and had to leave early. Unexpectedly, the atmosphere of the whole table was frozen . Afterwards, he learned that his behavior had caused a lot of harm to Andrew. He felt very guilty and blamed himself, and immediately accompanied by James, he sincerely apologized to Andrew and asked for forgiveness from Andrew.
——But the program group still saw that the tenants of different sexual orientations are not as intimate as they appear.
If there is a conflict, it must be resolved.
So, the program director and screenwriter had an idea, looked at each other and smiled, and reached a consensus—do something!
Three minutes to plan, two minutes to review, ten minutes to prepare, new activities are freshly released.
At exactly nine o'clock, the butler (the host) gathered everyone in the living room and began to announce today's tasks.
He first clarified what happened in the restaurant this morning from beginning to end, in case some people were not well-informed and had a wrong impression of a certain person (Richard), which would affect the subsequent relationship.
All the tenants were suddenly enlightened after hearing this, applauding, and cast gratified or touched eyes on Richard and Andrew who were sitting together.
Richard raised his hand to hook Andrew's shoulder, and patted him like a good brother.
Andrew felt more and more embarrassed when Richard held him in his arms like he was catching a chick. It's a bit embarrassing for a twenty-eight-year-old person to cry because of some unnecessary guesswork.
He looked at Rachel and Kelly who had given him encouragement before, just as they were also looking at him with a smile, he couldn't help smiling at them, he was very grateful and envious at the same time, he also wanted to be as confident and free as they were He also wants to become as strong as them.
Seeing the warm atmosphere in the venue, the butler (the host) was very satisfied, clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention to himself, and then said:
"The misunderstanding can be solved so quickly, it is inseparable from everyone's mutual understanding and mutual understanding." Mutual trust, especially James's performance is the best. Therefore, James," he took out an envelope and motioned James to step forward, "I am entrusted by the owner of Rainbow Villa, hereby send you two Thousands of cash will be rewarded, and you will be appointed as the male team leader for the first month. You will have the authority to manage team members and assign tasks. In addition, you will have an unconditional immunity, which can be used in any situation and at any time. I hope you will be more prominent in the future performance."
James was a little surprised, but still accepted it calmly, took the envelope under the envious eyes of everyone, put on the golden letter "C" brooch that symbolized the captain, and returned to his seat with applause.
Richard was more excited than the winner himself. He looked at James with a smile and clapped his hands. After James sat down, he leaned over to punch him. Judging by his proud appearance, he probably forgot that the reason for this morning was due to his lack of consideration and unclear expression.
After talking about the rewards, it's time to get down to business.
The host raised his hand and pressed it, indicating that the applause could stop. He said: "Today's incident is a signal. The reason why everyone misunderstands is because they don't know each other well enough, and because of the influence of discordant voices from the outside world, they still have a one-sided stereotyped impression of the subject of the incident. In order to solve this problem , deepen mutual understanding, promote emotional exchanges among tenants, and create a harmonious and friendly housing environment, we need everyone to do some social experimental tasks."
He took out a stack of hard cards and asked the tenants to draw one at random. Draw two tenants marked with the same number to form a group and work together to complete the task marked on the card.
The task forms of all people are similar, mostly pretending to be heterosexual in different places, asking passers-by for hugs, autographs, photos, etc., so as to observe ordinary people's attitudes towards heterosexuality.
After getting the task card, everyone hesitated.
The dispute between similarities and differences has always been the most sensitive topic in society. Although the situation has eased in recent years, it is still not optimistic. Not long ago, Anderson, the big boss of the show, was shot because of this, and his life was in danger.
Anderson only faintly showed signs of supporting heterosexual equality, and was hated by extremist organizations. They wanted to get rid of them quickly. Now they, unarmed civilians, have to stand outside as heterosexuals to be judged. ! People come and go in public places, in case of any dangerous situation, how can their safety be guaranteed? !
The host said: "You don't need to worry about this. We have a professional security team that can handle any emergencies."
While speaking, the filming director and logistics support personnel of each group were ready. Even if everyone still had many doubts, At this time, they could only follow the arrangement, leave in groups of two and two, and go to the destination marked on the task card.
Fortunately, the security personnel assigned to each group looked really professional, not only equipped with taser guns, anti-riot batons, but even wearing bulletproof vests. After careful questioning, it was found that one of them was an experienced first responder. Knowing this, the tenants feel relieved a lot... no wonder! The more prepared the security personnel are, the more dangerous the situation they will face in a while may prove to be more dangerous. Thinking about this logical relationship, the tenants were about to cry, and they couldn't help but regret that they signed up impulsively. Now that they are on the thief ship, it is too late to quit.
The host waved happily at everyone: "I wish everyone can complete the task smoothly and come back safely!"
The tenants wanted to cry but had no tears. Facing the camera, each and every one of them expressed grief.
The grouping of sixteen people seems to be fair and just. Whoever forms a team with whom, and which group gets what task seems to depend on luck and fate, but in fact, it is absolutely impossible to say that there is no secret operation.
For the effect of the program, the best grouping situation is a homosexual paired with a heterosexual. If it happens to be a man and a woman, the effect will be even better. Of course, this is an ideal situation. It is a coincidence that there are one or two groups. It is too fake if every group is like this.
So the final grouping situation is: Jessica and Matilda, Amy and Lindsay, James and Rachel, Richard and Andrew, Kelly and Gloria, Benjamin and May, Jared Yang and Alan, Adam and Eric.
The group of Adam and Eric is a glaring obscura, but everyone also tacitly knew it. According to the degree of Eric's attachment to Adam, even if the two are divided into different groups, in order for the program to go smoothly, they have to be given to each other in the end. They tune in.
The task assigned to Qian Erbai and Xia Changdian was to dress up as a heterosexual couple and go for a walk in Swan Lake Park, and collect thirty sentences of blessings from passers-by.
Qian Erbai looked at the camera with threats in his eyes. The assistant director sitting in the monitoring room felt a sudden coldness behind him, and hurriedly asked his assistant to turn up the temperature of the air conditioner.
The make-up artist was eager to try, just looking at Xia Changdian's face, he had already made seven or eight drafts in his mind, and he just waited for a while for the right master to come and try them out one by one.
Xia Changdian himself didn't have any psychological burden, but considering the character set he played, when he saw the request for women's clothing, he still hesitated for a while with his head down, then raised his head to look at Qian Erbai, his eyes gradually became firm , which perfectly shows the psychological changes of a frail boy from restless struggle to "sacrifice" for love. He looked at the camera with clear eyes and said seriously, "Okay."
The screenwriter was so moved that she almost burst into tears. What kind of fairy love is this? I will protect you at all costs. Even if this pair of CP is fake, I'm still addicted!
Qian Erbai's identity in the task is a thirty-year-old painter who unfortunately suffered a car accident and was paralyzed in his lower limbs, while Xia Changdian was his silent but never-separating lover. The two quickly put on their makeup and came out, and when they saw each other, they were both taken aback.
Qian Erbai changed into a new face, which looked almost ten years younger than before, and some characteristic edges and corners were also deliberately downplayed. Although some shadows of Claude or Adam could still be seen from certain angles, it did not If you look carefully, you will never think that they are actually the same person.
Xia Changdian's change was even more astonishing, she turned into a little girl completely——blonde hair, blue eyes, delicate face, wearing a knee-length bellflower dress, her breasts were slightly padded, making her waist look slimmer and her figure more exquisite. The birthmark on his forehead was covered by bangs. In order to prevent his hairstyle from being blown up by the wind, he wore a wide-brimmed hat with a bow tied around his neck by the cord of the hat. Adam's Apple.
He stood in front of Qian Erbai, clasped his fingers in front of him, lowered his head slightly, and his exposed neck was slender and tender, like a shy and timid daffodil.
Qian Erbai was fascinated by the sight, for a moment he forgot that he was "paralyzed in the lower limbs", and almost stood up with the help of the wheelchair. He stretched out his hand towards Xia Changdian, and said, "Come here."
Xia Changdian walked gracefully in front of Qian Erbai, put his hand on it lightly, seeing the amazement and obsession in the other's eyes, he couldn't help but bend his eyes, water The moist red lips evoked a seductive arc, which looked very kissable. Qian Erbai's heart was a little itchy, and he held Xia Changdian's hand even harder.
He glanced at the cameraman next to him who was dutifully filming. He was taken aback for a moment, then comprehended, and closed the lens cover in a hurry.
Qian Erbai squeezed Xia Changdian's fingers, hinting: "Let's go to the dressing room." Xia Changdian's face became hot, a little shy, and a little excited, Qian Erbai's eyes were so eager, he couldn't refuse, and he didn't want to refuse, He nodded involuntarily.
Looking at the "No Entry for Idlers" sign hanging on the door of the dressing room, the screenwriter clenched his fists excitedly: Well done! That's it! Don't come out without two hours!
When the boss and the future proprietress were exchanging feelings in the dressing room, other tenants had already arrived at their destinations.
