What Should I Do if My Best Friend Is a Green Tea? [Transmigrated Into a Book]

All the guests were stunned.

Ye Luoyi didn't notice, and as she spread the butter with a knife, her hand slipped, leaving a small cut on her fingertip.

The living room clock chimed, marking exactly eight o'clock. Zhou Qingyu and Yan Xi, having changed their clothes, arrived in the living room.

They overheard Director Yu's last remark. Zhou Qingyu didn't deny it and casually said, "I don't know what Yan Xi likes to eat, so I asked the chef to prepare a variety of dishes. You all are just here by coincidence."

In truth, it wasn't a coincidence. Zhou Qingyu, by nature, didn't care much about others as long as Yan Xi was well-fed. It was Yan Xi, after finishing her meal and seeing Louis and the chef still around, who asked Louis to prepare breakfast for the other guests.

In the novel, Zhou Qingyu, after joining the show, became the target of online criticism, serving as a contrast to Ye Luoyi. Yan Xi hadn't yet figured out how to reverse this downward spiral, but she wanted to salvage her best friend's reputation as much as possible.

[Ye Luoyi and Su Lingling even mocked Zhou Qingyu for being late, but you two were even later!]

[Got served, didn't you? And the breakfast you're eating was prepared by her!]

[I wouldn't even feel comfortable staying here. As the saying goes, 'When you eat someone's food, your words soften; when you take someone's gifts, your hands shorten.' But Ye Luoyi and Su Lingling's hands don't seem short at all!]

[Am I the only one envious of Yan Xi? Zhou Qingyu treats her so well—she accompanied her on a private jet because they couldn't get flight tickets, and she arranged a whole table of breakfast just to suit Yan Xi's tastes!]

[Zhou Qingyu might be spoiled and arrogant, but she's genuinely good to her friends!]

[Zhou Qingyu, are you still looking for friends? I volunteer!]

Ye Luoyi and Su Lingling couldn't see the comments, but upon learning that the breakfast was prepared by Zhou Qingyu, they felt awkward and uncomfortable under Louis's smiling gaze.

Su Lingling, displeased, tossed her coffee aside and crossed her arms. "It's too bitter. I won't drink it."

Ye Luoyi forced a smile and put down her toast. "I've gained some weight recently. It's better if I eat less."

The others, however, were unfazed. When they didn't see Zhou Qingyu in the living room, they didn't complain and ate their breakfast without guilt.

Especially Kang Boye, who, after finishing one serving, asked for another and cheerfully said, "Being here by coincidence isn't bad! As long as there's food, I'm happy~"

Director Yu, seeing that everyone had arrived, asked the guests to promote the show's sponsors and introduced the program's format.

"Let's Travel Together" is a live-streaming variety show, broadcasting from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. If the guests are still out and about, the stream continues.

There are four camera crews, each following one of the four guest pairs. Each group plans their own travel itinerary, and viewers can choose which route they want to watch.

Next, the guests introduced their travel plans.

Qin Li and Kang Boye were the first to present their itinerary.

Qin Li: "This is my cousin and I's first time in Li City, so our plan is quite generic. We'll visit all the famous landmarks. Here's our travel plan~"

Qin Li showed their itinerary, and netizens quickly noticed it was almost identical to a standard travel agency's package.

[Honestly, when I went to Li City, I followed a similar route.]

[This is a pretty beginner-friendly plan for first-time visitors!]

[The schedule seems a bit packed. Won't they get tired?]

[Don't worry, Qin Li and Kang Boye are young. They'll handle it!]

The second group to present was Jiang Tao and Xiao Yu.

Facing the camera, Jiang Tao cleared his throat. "Our next project requires us to scout locations in Li City, so while this is a trip, it's also work. We won't reveal our itinerary, but you can join us live as we explore."

Xiao Yu added, "By the way, this project is still in the planning phase. Any interested investors are welcome to join!"

[Haha, Director Jiang and Screenwriter Xiao are treating this as work!]

[But live scouting sounds so interesting!]

[I wonder what it's like to scout locations. They'll probably visit places regular tourists don't go. I'm so excited!]

The third group was Ye Luoyi and Su Lingling.

Ye Luoyi smiled as she introduced their plan. "Lingling and I have been to Li City before, so we've already seen the major attractions. This time, our focus is on discovering hidden gems—showing you a different side of Li City!"

Su Lingling added, "We've picked spots known mostly to locals. They're newer and more affordable. If you're interested, you can visit them too!"

[Wow! Ye Luoyi's introduction has me so excited!]

[Since Li City is a tourist destination, most people already know the popular spots. Watching them on a livestream isn't that interesting, but Ye Luoyi's approach is fresh. It'll show us a side of Li City we've never seen before!]

[I've been to Li City too, but I only visited the famous spots. Ye Luoyi's plan will definitely show us something new. I can't wait!]

[When does it start? I'm so excited!]

Ye Luoyi's travel plan received an overwhelmingly positive response. In the novel, her group was the most popular. As a top-tier actress, Ye Luoyi already had a massive following, and she had put a lot of thought into this trip.

Meanwhile, the original plan prepared for Zhou Qingyu was a budget-friendly version of Qin Li and Kang Boye's itinerary—essentially a low-budget copy. Compared to Ye Luoyi's well-thought-out plan, the gap was glaring. Coupled with Zhou Qingyu's lack of enthusiasm during the trip, her group's popularity paled in comparison.

But this time, Zhou Qingyu and Yan Xi's plan was different.

When it was their turn to present, Zhou Qingyu faced the camera with calm confidence. "Our travel plan is... no plan! Traveling is about having fun. We're going with the flow and enjoying ourselves!"

This was how Zhou Qingyu and Yan Xi usually traveled—no plans, just pure enjoyment.

Yan Xi was momentarily surprised but then smiled.

She didn't mind Zhou Qingyu's lack of planning; in fact, she loved it. Spontaneous trips were Zhou Qingyu's style, and the livestream would show her true self.

Yan Xi had always believed that Zhou Qingyu's genuine self was likable.

She was a good person, but some only saw her spoiled side and missed her kindness.

Yan Xi hoped Zhou Qingyu would stay true to herself on the show, not forced or unwilling. If she ended up being criticized or caught in a scandal, Yan Xi would find a way to help her.

[As a casual viewer, I love Zhou Qingyu's approach! When I travel, I also prefer to go with the flow—if I'm happy, I explore; if not, I stay in the hotel!]

[Same here. Traveling is supposed to be relaxing. Having a packed itinerary feels more exhausting than work.]

[Traveling should be about doing what makes you happy!]

Travel is a form of leisure, and there's no one-size-fits-all approach. Director Yu designed this format to let the guests showcase their preferred travel styles.

While the other three groups had detailed plans, each with its own focus, Zhou Qingyu and Yan Xi had nothing to discuss.

The six guests formed a circle, but Zhou Qingyu and Yan Xi seemed isolated.

Seeing Zhou Qingyu left out, Ye Luoyi felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

She feigned concern and said, "Qingyu, spontaneous trips can be fun, but you might miss out on some attractions. You can't just avoid planning because it's troublesome!"

Su Lingling sneered, "Without a plan, they'll just wander aimlessly. They're bound to run into trouble. Ye Luoyi, don't bother with them. Let them figure it out the hard way!"

The other guests also felt that traveling without any plan was risky, especially in an unfamiliar city. A little preparation wouldn't hurt.

Zhou Qingyu ignored Ye Luoyi and addressed the concerns raised by Xiao Yu and the others. "Yan Xi hasn't been in the best mood lately. I brought her here to help her relax."

She paused, then added, "If we miss any attractions this time, I'll bring her back after the show ends."

[Zhou Qingyu makes traveling abroad sound as simple as drinking water...]

[Well, for Zhou Qingyu, going to Li City is easy. She has a private jet, and judging from her solo livestream yesterday, it looked pretty comfortable...]

[Zhou Qingyu said her main goal is to help Yan Xi unwind. Gosh, another day of envying Yan Xi!]

Ye Luoyi pouted in dissatisfaction.

Zhou Qingyu was all talk—her spontaneous and aimless travel plans would hardly appeal to viewers.

When the time came, her livestream would definitely have higher popularity!

Ye Luoyi pulled out the transportation guide she had prepared earlier and displayed it in front of the camera.

Netizens quickly noticed that Ye Luoyi’s guide was incredibly detailed. She had printed out a map of Li City’s transportation system, complete with instructions on how to take the subway, buses, and how to purchase a transit card.

The other guests saw this and flocked to Ye Luoyi to learn from her.

Feeling quite satisfied, Ye Luoyi addressed the camera, “Today’s most important attraction is the Li City Museum! Every visitor to Li City should go there! However, the museum requires reservations, and at this hour, you’ll probably only be able to book an afternoon slot. Don’t forget to call and make a reservation!”

Upon hearing this, Qin Li and the others took out their phones to book their slots.

Su Lingling sneered at Zhou Qingyu, “Zhou Qingyu, didn’t you say you had no plans? So, where are you heading first?”

Zhou Qingyu turned to Yan Xi for input. After some thought, Yan Xi realized that, as a first-time visitor to Li City, she also wanted to visit the Li City Museum.

After all, it was one of the world’s top museums—it would be a shame to miss it.

Zhou Qingyu clapped her hands and decided, “Alright, then we’ll head to the Li City Museum this morning!”

Su Lingling scoffed, “Zhou Qingyu, didn’t you hear what Ye Luoyi said? You can’t get in without a reservation. And you haven’t even gotten your transit cards yet. By the time you make it to the museum, it’ll be closed!”

As soon as she finished speaking, a stretch limousine pulled up in front of the guesthouse.

Louis respectfully approached the limousine and opened the door for Zhou Qingyu and Yan Xi. “The reservation for the Li City Museum has been made. Miss Zhou, Miss Yan, please.”

All the guests on-site were stunned. For a moment, as they looked at the limousine, their meticulously prepared transportation guides suddenly seemed far less impressive.

Su Lingling gritted her teeth and spoke through clenched lips, “Zhou Qingyu, didn’t you say you had no plans?”

“I really don’t have any plans,” Zhou Qingyu shrugged. “But I do have money!”
