Weekend off has come to an end. The stylist sent a text to the cast managers asking the estimate time of their arrival back to the hotel so they can get everything set up to do a quick fitting for tomorrow’s sponsorship commercial takes and also for the press conference the day after tomorrow

Zheng kai who’ll be pulling up to the lobby soon , got the honor to be the first to do so followed by Li chen second, Yan lin third, Lucas fourth, Angelababy fifth, Ya wen sixth and last but not least, Yuqi, who will be coming later in the afternoon taking a 11:00 flight straight from Korea

The stylist team didn’t need more that 20 minutes per cast to check and see if the clothes they’ve prepare should be altered or not. Luckily all wardrobe well fitted and all that’s left now is wait for Yuqi’s arrival

While the stylist team waits in their room, the cast finds an activity they can do for the rest of the day around the hotel area

Li chen and Zheng kai didn’t want to waste the daily spa complimentary from the hotel that all cast was given so they decided to go get a good massage. Yan lin and Lucas thought a couple of drinks while talking sounds nice so their pick goes to the executive lounge. Lastly, Ya wen and Angelababy prefers to stay in their rooms doing things they can do there, such as reading a book or watch movies

Lucas met up with Yan lin at his room and bumps into Li chen and Zheng kai when their about to take the elevator to go down to the executive lounge. They we’re all heading to the 3rd floor because the spa center and lounge is located near each other

The four went their separate ways getting out of the elevator, “Have fun you two” said Li chen walking along Zheng kai turning to the right hallways while Yan lin and Lucas goes to the left

Recognizing the two guest who just entered the lounge, the guest relation officer (GRO) greets Yan lin and Lucas, “Welcome. Table for how 2?” she asked the standard question

“3” Yan lin replied

“3?” Lucas ask not remembering Yan lin saying about another person will be tagging along

“Yes. 3” Yan lin making it clear

“Come with me please” the GRO them to a private room where they can have privacy while enjoying their day in the lounge

The private room facility consist a table for four, a standard size flat screen tv and a stand with today's newspaper also magazines starting from fashion to automotive for them to read, “And if you need to call service you can press this button over here” she says showing the button that’s place in the middle of the table

Before she can give them the lounge’s menu book to the both, Yan lin straight off order 1 bottle of red wine, “Your finest please” he says sitting down

“1 bottle of red wine” The GRO writes it down and asked, “Anything else sir?”

“No. that will be all” Yan lin says with a smile

The guest relation officer smiles back and excuse herself to prepare that 1 bottle of red wine Yan lin ask for

“Whose the other guest ge?” Lucas takes a seat beside Yan lin

Yan lin smiles teasingly crossing his legs, “You’ll see” he wants it to be a surprise, “How was your weekend?” he starts the conversation with a friendly question

Lucas replied, “Busy but not the hectic kind of busy where we come home and sleep at dawn and having to get up hours later” he then asked back to Yan lin, “How was your weekend ge?”

Yan lin tells his part of the story and continue with the reason why he’ll be missing out on the next 4 episodes, “…. It’s was a surprise knowing the producers decided to keep me in the show when they can easily replace me with anyone” he express his gratitude for the production team

Hearing a soft knock on the door, Yan lin pauses, “yes?” and respond to the knocking

“Sorry to make you wait sir” It’s the guest relation officer and her assistant. Notice how both of their hands were pretty occupied, Lucas helps by holding the door for them, “Thank you” she said putting down the tray and prepare to open the cork wine carefully while her assistant serves the bowl of peanuts

The assistant then place the wine chiller and chilled glasses near the table and near to where she can easily get them to fill the wine in

In the middle of watching her use the corkscrew, Yan lin jokingly asked Lucas if he can handle 1 bottle without getting drunk later on. Lucas shake his head and his right hand coughing, “I don’t think I can do that ge” he clears his throat, “I can drink a bottle but it’s impossible for me not to get drunk afterwards” he's not sure if Yan lin is being serious about finishing 1 bottle that afternoon

“Relax. I was only kidding” Lucas got his answer, “I don’t have the heart to make you go drunk. Maybe in other occasions where I have a reason too” Yan lin burst into a devilish laughter

The guest relation can’t help but smile over hearing their small conversation while she pours half in the red wine to the two chilled glass, “Enjoy” she serves the drinks to them and puts the remains in the wine chiller, “If you need anything else, me or my assistant will gladly help” she says leaving the table and room

Yan lin and Lucas held up their glass and do a distant toast together. Both eyes glints and eyebrow raises sipping the rich flavor of the red wine, “That’s nice” Yan lin compliments the taste staring down to his glass while he swirls it around, “I sometimes wonder if Yuci didi can handle one glass of these” he smells the aroma of the wine while throwing a random question out of curiosity to Lucas

Lucas one lips and holds in his laughter, “She drinks vinegar regularly,” he remembers that one time when Yuqi told him about it, “I’m pretty sure she can handle one glass of alcohol” he takes another sip

“Really?” Yan lin gasp lightly “Is there any other of Yuci didi’s antique I should know about?”

Not having any suspicions on why suddenly Yan lin is interested to know, Lucas casually answers, “For starters she’s more interested with the pickled radish than the fried chickens. She takes her food seriously. If you look closely every time she eats, she really concentrates on it”

“I never did but i’ll be sure to look closely next time” Yan lin impress with the details Lucas discovered about Yuqi
