Chapter 9 - Self-sufficient

This car was specifically sought out by the director, and it must have taken him quite an effort to find something this dilapidated.

"In a moment, we will travel in this car to a small seaside village, where you will be living for a week.

During this week, you must be self-sufficient."

"You can earn money by sea farming at the beach, and the seafood you find can be sold to the production crew for money, of course, you can also use other methods to make money."

"What the specific activities will be, you will find out when receiving the task notifications.

Each day's schedule will be distinct, which will definitely provide a unique experience for everyone during this period."

The director showed a particularly sly expression when he said this, indicating that the coming week won't be easy.

At these words, Sofia twitched her foot.

Huh, the money she had hidden would finally come in handy!

When loading the luggage, Calvin helped Sofia put her suitcase in the car.

"Thanks, handsome guy," Sofia cheerfully patted Calvin on the shoulder.

Calvin, startled by her actions, replied with a smile, "No need to thank me, beautiful."

[Ahhhhh! They are such a perfect match!

A handsome guy and a beautiful girl!

How pleasing to the eyes they are!]

[Why not pair up a handsome man and a beautiful woman!

Both of them are top-tier beauties in the entertainment industry.

Sofia isn't very capable in other aspects, but her face is absolutely flawless!]

The CP (couple) fans are definitely going wild now.

They've even established their own fan page, and they've named Calvin and Sofia's CP as the "Orange Juice Couple", combined from one character in each of their names.

In the meantime, Nolan went to help Cindy move her luggage.

With her earnest service, Nolan looked exceedingly attentive towards Cindy.

Micheal had also wanted to display himself, but he was held back by Nelly.

"Could you help me lift this up?"

She handed her suitcase to Micheal, secretly hinting at him not to interfere in the current situation.

She originally thought she could pull some strings, but now it seemed like the situation was a mess.

Micheal hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he did not step in.

He and Nelly are both actors, classmates, and have been friends for many years.

They have become real friends in the entertainment industry due to a popular drama.

Their fans knew about their close relationship and acted exceptionally harmoniously.

The sight of them helping each other out made their fans supremely happy.

[Why do Micheal and Nelly seem like spectators the whole time, watching the drama unfold?

And they seem to be enjoying it too.]

[Our Micheal and Nelly won't mix themselves in such matters.

It's enough that they help each other.]

Nolan is currently showing off in front of Cindy, acting like a peacock in full display.

"Cindy, let me help you lift this suitcase up.

How could a girl do such heavy lifting by herself?"

As he spoke, he lifted with all his might.

Good grief!

The suitcase didn't budge! … The smile on Nolan's face froze.

This suitcase is so heavy!

He stubbornly tried to lift it again.

He managed to lift it, but he couldn't lift it up completely.

Looking at his shaky appearance, everyone held their breaths in concern.

Cindy was a bit worried that he would break her suitcase.

It was naturally heavy because it had all sorts of bottles and jars of face masks and skincare products inside.

"Maybe I should just do it myself," Cindy decided to take matters into her own hands while watching his current state.

Nolan avoided his hand, forcing a small smile and said, "It's fine, it's not heavy."

Everyone: .... Bro, could you please pay a bit of attention to your facial control when saying this sort of thing.

Your face has begun to contort!

And besides, if it isn't heavy, then why does the box seem to be trembling, and you are struggling to lift it.

Sofia simply couldn't bear to watch it any longer.

She directly snatched the box away, announcing, "I'll do it!"

With that, she smoothly placed the box on the high shelf, the entire process taking less than three seconds.

Afterwards, she gave Nolan a once-over from head to toe.

Even though she didn't say anything, her disdain was clear as day.

Calvin covered his mouth corner and coughed lightly, never would have thought this girl was quite strong.

However, Nolan's incapability was truly unacceptable, even a girl's suitcase seemed too much for him to handle.

The suitcase wasn't even that large, how heavy could it be?

Cindy looked at Sofia, her eyes twinkling with mirth as she commented, "Didn't expect you were this strong, did you work out often?"

Flexing her arm, Sofia showed off her biceps and bantered, "I don't exercise much, probably was just born with the strength."

Nolan's face was turning a shade darker by the second.

Sofia was clearly making fun of him!

Upon witnessing this situation, a heated discussion broke among the netizens online.

Some people thought Nolan was too weak, even by a woman's standard, a grown man should not be this feeble.

Some people were defending Nolan, suggesting that maybe the contents of the suitcase were simply too heavy.

They speculated that the many bottles and jars inside might be what made the suitcase too hard to lift.

However, their arguments sounded feeble, especially as Sofia, despite the abundance of bottles and jars in there, easily lifted the suitcase.

"Doesn't Nolan often weight lift?

Surely this suitcase doesn't weigh more than those dumbbells he lifts.

Could it be that he simply goes to the gym to take pictures?"

"Indeed, a girl's suitcase cannot be measured by normal standards, but Sofia, this girl is truly strong and fearless.

She does not seem to worry about offending Nolan."

"Huh, she's just stirring up trouble for no reason.

Has Nolan offended her in the past?

She seems to be picking a fight herself."

"Offended her?

The one he offended was her sister!

And isn't she basically the same as her sister once you round it up?"

"Yeah, didn't you guys see Cindy's expression just now?

She offered to help, yet he dodged her hand.

Not only would it be his fault if the suitcase really fell down and injured him, but think about it, what if it hit someone nearby?

That bystander would be so innocent."

"I truly detest such men—those who lack modesty.

If you can't lift something, just admit it.

If you can't lift it, why not suggest lifting it together?

Instead, he insists on showing off, thinking he's so handsome."

"Last time, I encountered such a guy while taking the bullet train.

I was grateful that he wanted to help, but I knew very well that my suitcase was really heavy, so I suggested we lift it together.

But he adamantly refused and insisted on lifting it himself.

In the end, my suitcase fell heavily, shattering all the bottles and jars inside and ruining the clothes.

I incurred a loss of a few thousand dollars.

I was devastated and had nowhere to release my sorrow."

Many girls have had similar experiences.

Some men, thinking they are handsome, try to show off their strength in front of them on trains or high-speed rail.

Though their intention is to help, it isn't helpful if they end up dropping the suitcase.

Even if it doesn't hit anyone, what if the contents inside get damaged?
