As soon as Lu Jingchu spoke, the production team immediately realized what was going on and started serving the dishes.

Looking at the table laden with food, Shen Shiqing's stomach began to rumble, and he silently chanted in his heart:

Thank goodness, Lu Jingchu! You're such a wonderful person!

She was completely unaware that someone had heard her thoughts.

Shen Shiqing filled her bowl with rice, quickly finished it, and then filled another bowl. She had already devoured all the dishes on the table.

The people at the table stared intently at her as she ate, seemingly taken aback.

Shen Shiqing has such a big appetite?

Several girls wore expressions of disbelief, and the boys also had varying expressions, but Lu Jingchu had a smile on her lips.

But it is almost impossible to find out.

Not only were the people at the scene surprised, but the online live stream was also abuzz with discussion.

[Shen Shiqing: That was close, I almost starved to death, hahahahahahahahahahahahaha]

[Lu Yingdi eats, offering timely help; Wen Xinran eats, quiet and serene; Shen Shiqing eats, impatient and restless.]

Does Huaijiang Entertainment usually not feed Shen Shiqing? She looks like she hasn't eaten for three years.

She eats like a water buffalo drinks water—so down-to-earth! It reminds me of when I couldn't hold back my diet and started binge eating.

I think she's just trying to market herself as a foodie; she's a scheming woman.

[Exactly, she's definitely faking it. I don't believe she's like that in private.]

[That's right, that's right. Which female celebrity doesn't pay attention to maintaining her figure? I think she's just trying to get attention.]

[Agreed.]

[...]

Lu Jingchu sat next to Shen Shiqing, eating his meal slowly and deliberately. He didn't seem hungry at all, while Shen Shiqing pounced on his prey like a tiger, creating a stark contrast.

The two were standing very close. Lu Jingchu's gaze kept falling on Shen Shiqing, but other people's gazes were also on him.

"Eating so much, aren't you afraid of getting stuffed?" Xia Chun said bluntly in a harsh tone.

“It’s better to die from overeating than from starvation,” Shen Shiqing retorted hastily, his mouth stuffed full.

“Shi Qing,” Wen Xinran said casually, “Don’t mind me, Mr. Lu. I was a bit rude when I ate.”

On the surface, she was speaking up for Shen Shiqing, but in reality, she was deliberately implying that Shen Shiqing ate improperly.

“I don’t mind at all. I actually find it quite interesting.” Lu Jingchu looked up and spoke, seemingly not lying. “Besides, body shape isn’t that important. Health comes first. Everyone has their own lifestyle habits, and since it doesn’t affect others, I respect that.”

Wen Xinran was speechless. "What Actor Lu said is true. I didn't think things through."

Shen Shiqing's inner thoughts: What business is it of yours how I eat? It doesn't affect you.

Of course, she didn't say it aloud.

Why is Shen Shiqing talking to Xia Chun like that? He has no manners at all.

[Our Ranran is such a kind person; she even spoke up for Shen Shiqing.]

Actually, I think Shen Shiqing eats alright, just a little fast, but not to the point of being rude. I'm even more impatient than her when I'm hungry.

[I remember Shen Shiqing hasn't eaten anything since this morning, so it's normal for him to be hungry. It's already noon, are they not even letting people eat when they're hungry?]

[Actor Lu has such a strong moral compass! No wonder he's the man I admire!]

Am I the only one who thinks that Actor Lu seems to be taking extra care of Shen Shiqing?

[Yes! Only you think so! The movie star is just a nice person, don't let certain people get attached to him.]

Of all the people who ate the meal, Shen Shiqing finished the meal the fastest. After he was full, he wanted to exercise.

Now, isn't it time to start the real recording? She's kind of itching to have some fun.

"Excuse me, is it possible for us to survive now?" Shen Shiqing asked directly.

Du Hewen, who was at the dinner table, burst out laughing.

"I'm sorry, Professor Shen always surprises us like this."

"Thank you, Actor Du, it's my honor." Shen Shiqing faced reality head-on.

Shen Shiqing remembered that Du Hewen in the book was a serious person who never smiled, but Shen Shiqing felt that something was wrong and burst out laughing.

I don't understand.

Hahahaha, I never expected Brother Du to have this kind of personality!

[Shen Shiqing, tell me honestly, was your "thank you" genuine?]

[Shen Shiqing's words are remarkably similar to what Actor Lu just said.]

Lu Jingchu: May we begin eating now?

Shen Shiqing: May I begin my survival strategy?

Thank you, but please don't ship them. Anyone who does is an idiot.

[Come and tell me, thank you, Shen Shiqing. I spoke for everyone, asking the questions they wanted to ask. Respect.]

...

Shen Shiqing wanted to say something more, but was startled by the sudden intrusion.

It's the voice of a director who's willing to risk his life.

"It's clear everyone is enthusiastic about our show and can't wait. First of all, thank you all very much for joining our show, 'Ten Days of Wilderness Survival.' Well, although it's an entertainment version, that's okay. Entertainment is meant to bring you more joy. Actually, our show has already started. Please look at the letters under your plates. People with the same letter are in a group. Your individual tasks are written below. Please complete your tasks and leave the forest before dark. The first team to finish will receive a reward, while the last team to finish will receive a dark punishment."

Everyone looked down to see what letter was on the bottom of their plate.

Shen Shiqing looked at her letter, which was A, and then at her task. Completing the task wasn't difficult for her, but who would be her partner?

"Alright, everyone has finished watching. Now, please find your partners and work together to complete the task."

Each person announced their own letter, and everyone had a different expression.

Shen Shiqing and Shi Xia were in one group, Wen Xinran and Xing Jianan were in another group, Qin Shiyue and Du Hewen were in another group, and finally Lu Jingchu and Xia Chun were in the last group.

Shen Shiqing didn't have any particular feelings, since it didn't matter to her who she partnered with. The others, however, were quite interesting.

Wen Xinran teamed up with Xing Jianan, her face showing a very calm expression, with only a smile on her lips, appearing gentle and serene. However, Xing Jianan seemed strange, as if he was unhappy, as if someone owed him money.

Shen Shiqing remembered that the book said Wen Xinran and Xing Jianan were classmates in university.

Furthermore, Xing Jianan broke up with the original owner of the body because of Wen Xinran.

He was one of the heroine's knights, but in the current situation, the two don't seem to have a close relationship.

Perhaps it's because of Wen Xinran and Song Gou's affair?

However, Wen Xinran and Song Gou seem to be in a very ambiguous stage and are not actually together. To be precise, Wen Xinran has not yet agreed to be with Song Gou.

After all, Song Gou was just one fish in Wen Xinran's pond, but Wen Xinran wanted more than just one fish.

The two of them seem to have developed a rift, probably because they're troubled by love again.

Shen Shiqing's eyes met Xing Jianan's, and he indifferently looked away.

What's so interesting about a scumbag?

Xing Jianan's eyelashes trembled, her eyes filled with unreadable emotions.

Qin Shiyue and Du Hewen, an idol and a movie star combination, are both unconventional and steady, there's not much to say about them.

As for the handsome guy—oops, Lu Jingchu and Xia Chun—the situation was rather complicated. The movie star Lu remained calm throughout, his eyes showing no emotion, and he didn't even glance at Xia Chun. Xia Chun, however, was different; her eyes were fixed on Lu Jingchu, her face even redder than before.

Shen Shiqing felt a pang of regret for the handsome guy—no, for Lu Jingchu. She hoped this beautiful cabbage wouldn't be snatched up by a pig.

She didn't notice that as she silently recited it in her mind, someone's lips twitched.

"Friendly reminder! You are not allowed to bring anything into the forest. Please follow the rules and complete the task."

That's just reckless.

"Fine, I won't bring you. Who's afraid of who? There's nothing I can't do." Xia Chun said with a disdainful look. "Besides, I have Actor Lu, so we're already halfway there."

Hehehe, let's get your nails done first, or you'll regret it.

Shen Shiqing looked at Xia Chun's hand and sighed softly.

One should be ruthless enough to be a decent human being.

I'm not telling her!
