Now only Shen Shiqing and Lu Jingchu remain on the riverbank.

Shen Shiqing couldn't think of anything to ask Lu Jingchu to do for a moment.

Shen Shiqing didn't want him to do anything either, after all, that was Lu Yingdi, the object of Shen Shiqing's admiration.

Lu Jingchu looked at her and smiled.

Shen Shiqing immediately turned his face away.

That was close! I almost got me captivated again!!!

Wasn't it said that Lu Jingchu doesn't smile easily, but when she does, she can bewitch everyone?!

Why have you been laughing so much lately?!

And wouldn't you know it, she just happened to see it?!

I don't know whether to say she was lucky or something else, but Lu Jingchu's face is just too alluring.

Somewhat tempting… to crime.

On the other side were Song Zhihuai, Wen Xinran, Qin Shiyue, and Xia Chun.

Wen Xinran and Qin Shiyue were being sarcastic and rude to each other over a piece of bread, and at this moment they were ignoring each other.

Song Zhihuai and Wen Xinran, on the other hand, were all lovey-dovey. The way they exchanged glances made it clear to anyone with eyes that their relationship was more than just casual.

However, not long after, a "cooing" sound was heard.

And more than once.

The group looked at each other, unsure of how to resolve the situation.

At this moment, Shen Shiqing was already struggling to catch fish.

Lu Jingchu also studied with Shen Shiqing.

"Teacher Shen, is that right?" Lu Jingchu asked. After all, he had never actually tried catching fish this way before.

"Yes, that's right, the angle, the angle can be a little more tilted." Shen Shiqing gave serious instructions, leaving no room for ambiguity.

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

Following Shen Shiqing's example, Lu Jingchu inserted the needle and succeeded on his first attempt.

"Wow, we won! We won!" Shen Shiqing looked at the fish that Lu Jingchu had stuck in his mouth. It was big enough and looked very plump, perfect for making soup. "Teacher Lu is so amazing."

"Teacher Shen teaches well." Lu Jingchu looked at Shen Shiqing, who felt embarrassed by her gaze.

"Then let's make soup with this fish tonight."

"As you wish."

[Aa ...

[My favorite couple!! Whose couple is this?! It turns out it's mine!]

[Actor Lu is amazing! He learns it in no time and gets it right on his first try!]

Serious men are so charming!

[Sister Shi, really! Sister Shi, please teach me too~]

This fish is perfect for soup, Sister Shi, you're such a foodie!

...

He then caught a few more fish and mentally reviewed how to cook them.

You could make a whole fish feast.

The sound of pebbles clashing came from afar; they must have returned.

As expected, the three of them each had their own distinct style.

Du Hewen returned with a whole bunch of mushrooms, his wicker basket overflowing with them, leaving no room for error.

Xing Jianan returned carrying a pile of firewood, with a few fallen leaves still clinging to his hair.

As instructed by Chen Shiqing, Xia found some seasonings and Ye Zi bounced back.

She rushed straight into Shen Shiqing's arms.

"Sister Shi, look!" Shi Xia exclaimed excitedly, "These are them, right!?"

"Yes, Xia was really smart when she was little."

"Of course, thanks to Sister Shi for teaching me how to identify them last time."

After receiving the praise, Shi Xia happily ran off to wash the leaves.

Du Hewen took his mushrooms to the riverbank and happily washed them, even singing a song.

Shen Shiqing continued her fish-killing business, but she always felt that someone was watching her.

Looking up, I saw Xing Jianan, carrying a pile of firewood.

Shen Shiqing was puzzled.

Xing Jianan glanced at Shen Shiqing, then glanced at Shi Xia out of the corner of her eye.

No, what does he mean? Really? Really?

“You, you’re pretty good too.” Shen Shiqing said, noticing that Xing Jianan raised his eyebrows.

Seriously? I actually guessed right? I stood there for ages just to claim credit?

Considering he did gather firewood, I'll let him have a meal tonight, Shen Shiqing thought to himself.

"Why don't you go all the way and start a fire too?" Shen Shiqing decided to make the most of everything.

"Hmm." Xing Jianan turned to start a fire without saying anything more.

[Hahahaha, Shi Xia is so cute!]

[Actor Du is truly amazing! A master at picking mushrooms! A master, a real master!]

What is Xing Jianan doing? He's just standing there, not moving.

[Oh my god, he actually did it! He actually raised an eyebrow? He looks like a kid!]

I always thought he was aloof, but I didn't expect him to seem so childish now?

[Thank you to the production team for showing me a different side of my brother! I deserve it all!]

The comments section erupted into a heated discussion again.

Just like Shen Shiqing and his group were cooking with great enthusiasm.

Lu Jingchu had already shaved the bamboo sticks and skewered the fish, and they were grilling them at that moment.

Surprisingly, it smells quite good, Shi Xia's eyes lit up as she watched.

Shen Shiqing also marinated the fish with spices for a while, and made a steamed fish dish that was delicious and visually appealing.

The overly plump fish was beheaded and made into fish soup, which, along with the mushrooms picked by Actor Du, instantly created an irresistible aroma.

The remaining fish were fried and grilled, not a single one was left.

The mushrooms were also stir-fried into a dish.

The production crew used all their pots and pans, so even without rice, this meal would be enough for them to eat tonight.

"Let's eat!" Shen Shiqing looked at the whole fish feast and started the meal immediately.

Shi Xia was the most impatient.

He scooped up the fish soup, put it in a bowl, and was about to drink it; he must be starving.

"Be careful, it's hot."

"Drink slowly."

Shen Shiqing and Lu Jingchu spoke at the same time, looked at Shi Xia who was grimacing from the heat, and exchanged a helpless smile.

"It's so hot!" Shi Xia said, picking up more mushrooms with her chopsticks. "I'll eat some mushrooms to calm my nerves."

"Teacher Shen's cooking skills are truly remarkable," Du Hewen sighed after taking a sip of soup.

"That's because Teacher Du's mushrooms are so delicious," Shen Shiqing said frankly, since the mushrooms were indeed quite good.

"Teacher Shen is so eloquent." Du Hewen smiled and picked up another piece of fish.

"Likewise."

"And what about my fish?" Shen Shiqing didn't expect Lu Jingchu to speak up first. "How did it taste?"

"It's alright, but not as good as my bacteria," Du Hewen teased.

"Go away." Lu Jingchu rarely joked around.

"Brother... cough cough cough..." Shi Xia took a bite, "It's absolutely delicious!"

"Mmm, it tastes great." Even the usually aloof Xing Jianan finally spoke up.

"Very, very, very good." Shen Shiqing never hesitated to praise Lu Jingchu.

Lu Jingchu's skills are indeed quite good; he has some talent.

Shen Shiqing thought that if she had the chance to bring someone to explore deep in the mountains and forests with her, she would probably choose Lu Jingchu.

But this is just something to think about; I wouldn't dare dream of becoming a movie star.

Lu Jingchu looked at Shen Shiqing and shook her head slightly.

Somewhat interesting.

The group ate and complimented each other, creating a wonderful atmosphere, like a small gathering of friends, joyful and warm.

[Those people! They're so heartwarming!]

[Sister Shi really can cook! And she's so fluent! Ahhhhhh, Sister Shi! Wife! I want to marry you!]

[I'm serious! I really want to try Sister Shi's cooking! Will I ever have the chance?!]

[Actor Lu is also very good! He's incredibly handsome even when grilling fish!]

[Seriously, Lu Yingdi, Shi Jie, and Xiao Xia really look like a family of three, hahaha!]

[Hahahaha, sorry Xiaoxia, although...but, it really does look alike, hahahahahahaha]

Wait, how did Xing Jianan end up in this group?

[It didn't say we couldn't move around, did it? Our brother was gathering firewood and starting a fire, so it's okay for him to eat something, right?]

"That's true. We can't suffer along with the others. Xing Jianan is a smart man."

[Hey, how's the other group doing?]

Hey, don't even mention the ones ahead, I just came from over there, um... it's hard to describe.

[Those starving ghosts over there, hahaha!]
