She could eat it at first, but after seeing the pot of sauerkraut fish and fish porridge in the live stream, she couldn't eat anymore.

"I didn't expect Zhuang Yan to be such a good cook. This makes me want to eat pickled fish. Let's go out for pickled fish tonight."

What's the big deal? Zhuang Yan knows plenty of that.

Knowing that Xia Wan had a bad temper, the other observers didn't ask her about Zhuang Yan.

Xia Wan was focused on watching Zhuang Yan's live stream, and therefore missed the conversation between Jiang Ning and Lu Yan.

I finally learned from the comments that Lu Yan and Jiang Ning almost got into a fight because of Zhuang Yan. The two of them had said at the same time that they were going to find Zhuang Yan.

Xia Wan was agitated. She stared intently at the comments, trying to glean any useful information from them.

Perhaps Lu Yan really did participate in this program to help her vent her anger, just like those people in the comments said.

Xia Wan recalled that when she was a child, she and this aunt were quite close. The two were not much different in age. When they first met, she called her "sister," which made the adults around them laugh. She didn't know when it started, but they gradually drifted apart and their relationship became more and more distant.

After lunch, everyone except Zhuang Yan voluntarily cleared the table and washed the dishes.

In other dating reality shows, cooking and washing dishes are done in pairs, with men and women taking turns each day. Various memorable scenes will appear in the kitchen, which is both a pink bubble-making machine and a large-scale saga.

The director suggested that they draw lots to form groups.

An Xinrong muttered, "Besides Zhuang Yan, who here can cook?"

"But you can't just do nothing because Zhuang Yan can cook."

"I didn't say I wouldn't do it."

After witnessing their culinary skills today, Zhuang Yan is not afraid of anything else, except food poisoning.

Zhuang Yan had stomach cancer, and now he has very high standards for food.

"I'll do the cooking; you guys can help out and wash the dishes."

The director said, "Then we need to divide the work and draw lots."

An Xinrong had no objections now.

The lottery was quite a spectacle. An Xinrong didn't want to draw Zhuang Yan, but what she didn't know was that the ones she didn't want to draw were the ones everyone else wanted most.

Jiang Ning glanced at Zhuang Yan, took one from the pile, and her palms were sweating with nervousness.

Lu Yan took it last. She seemed nonchalant on the surface, but she was actually staring at Zhuang Yan the whole time. If her eyes were threads, Zhuang Yan would probably be completely entangled by now.

It's hard not to notice such a direct gaze; Zhuang Yan looked up and met her eyes.

Seeing Zhuang Yan's surprised expression, Lu Yan smiled and picked up the last crumpled piece of paper on the table.

Everyone stared intently at the slips of paper in their hands, eager to see which male guest they would team up with.

An Xinrong unfolded the crumpled paper and breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Ning's face turned pale.

Judging from their expressions, Lu Yan knew she had it all figured out; it was definitely Zhuang Yan.

Sure enough, the paper was unfolded, and Zhuang Yan's name was on it.

An Xinrong and Fang Chen.

Jiang Ning and Ling Xuan.

Lu Yan and Zhuang Yan.

This result was a win-win situation, and Jiang Ning's fans breathed a sigh of relief, with the comments section filled with "thank you, God!"

Thankfully, Jiang Ning didn't draw Zhuang Yan.

[Hopefully, Zhuang Yan will stay far away from Actress Jiang from now on.]

[Let's lock them in like this, whatever we do, don't let Jiang Ning and Zhuang Yan team up.]

The fans were completely oblivious to their idol's disappointed expression.

Seeing this result, Xia Wan breathed a sigh of relief, but when the camera focused on Lu Yan's expression, her heart suddenly jumped.

She thought she saw a hint of possessiveness and confidence in Lu Yan's eyes just now. Was it just her imagination?

After washing the dishes, the next issue was sleeping. An Xinrong threw a tantrum and asked for a single room.

The men played rock-paper-scissors, and Zhuang Yan was lucky enough to win a single room.

In the afternoon, the director didn't assign any tasks, but instead gave everyone some money and told them to have free time.

Even if you have money in such a remote place, you wouldn't know how to spend it.

Ling Xuan suggested, "Why don't we go to town and see what food we can eat, and buy some to stock up for breakfast?"

Zhuang Yan was also planning to go to town to take a look, so he nodded in agreement.

Ling Xuan called out to the crowd, "Zhuang Yan and I are going to town to buy groceries, do you want to come?"

Here comes another classic scene: the grocery shopping process is just like the division of labor in cooking. Who works with whom is a skill in itself, and it's easy for sparks to fly.

"Let's go together," Lu Yan said.

Jiang Ning then said, "I need to go to town to buy some things."

“I’m not going,” An Xinrong refused. “What’s there to see in town? I might as well stay home and sleep.”

Fang Chen had feelings for An Xinrong, so he naturally wouldn't pass up this opportunity to be alone with her: "You guys go ahead, Xinrong and I will stay home."
