Bringing My Top Idol Brother to an Extreme Variety Show and Becoming Popular

After completing infinite missions, Ming Fu obtained a chance for rebirth and a healthy body. Having been sickly since childhood, she was now living in the countryside with her parents. Her older b...

Chapter 18

As night fell, on their first night on the island, the brother and sister were the only guests who used an open fire.

Jing Ye took advantage of this opportunity and brought back a bundle of wood for the cabin. The brand new wood became firewood.

They pierced the beef with skewers made of branches and roasted it over the fire.

On the stone stove, there is a pot made of old coconuts, filled with coconut water and chicken legs. The coconut chicken is a fragrant dish with the aroma of coconut and meat.

The flames grew stronger and stronger, and the beef produced an attractive Maillard reaction, with oil sizzling on the wooden skewers and dripping into the flames.

The coconut chicken on the fire pit was also constantly rolling, and the tempting aroma of meat and coconut wafted around, which was particularly tempting in this dark night.

The brother and sister supported their chins with their hands and sat next to each other obediently, their postures exactly the same as if they were copied and pasted.

The dancing flames reflected their figures, one tall and one short. Their two pairs of eyes were staring at the delicacies on the fire pit, and even the frequency of swallowing their saliva was exactly the same.

A gust of sea breeze blew, carrying the aroma of steaming food to every corner of the island.

The first people to smell the scent were Tong Wenping and his wife. At that time, Tong Wenping was already lying in a hammock ready to rest.

On this isolated island with no entertainment activities, the sunset means the end of the day.

There is another reason why he goes to bed early, which is that he won't be hungry when he falls asleep.

The seaweed and crabs that Jiang Meng had brought back were inedible and had been thrown away by Jiang Meng. Now the only supplies they had were pickled vegetable buns and sesame cakes.

Before going to bed, he tried to take a bite of the pancake, but the cold pancake was very tough and his teeth couldn't bite it. He gave up after just leaving an impression.

He switched to steamed buns and took two bites, but unfortunately the steamed buns didn't taste very good. They were completely incomparable to the fresh and soft ones. The cold steamed buns were dry and hard. It felt like chewing plastic when he bit them. They also sucked away the saliva in his mouth in an instant. He couldn't swallow them without drinking water.

Tong Wenping swallowed the hard steamed bun with cold water. After just filling his stomach, he stopped eating and threw the remaining half of the steamed bun into the supply bag.

Jiang Menggang picked up the pancake he had bitten, broke off a piece and was about to eat it when he looked up in surprise: "You don't want to eat it anymore?"

"I don't want to eat anymore." Tong Wenping said.

"It's hot now. If you don't eat it today, it will definitely go bad by tomorrow." Jiang Meng felt distressed when she saw that he had left half of the steamed bun.

"If you're afraid it's going bad, just eat it yourself." Tong Wenping couldn't eat it himself, no matter if he left it for tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Jiang Meng did not force him to persuade him. Tong Wenping was stubborn anyway, and no one could persuade him from his decision.

She ate the pancake in small bites. Apart from the fact that it was a little painful, she didn't find it particularly difficult to swallow.

Seeing Jiang Meng eating with relish, Tong Wenping looked at her with disdain. When they first met, she was obviously a talented, tasteful and elegant beauty. Now, not only did she not care about her appearance, but she was also like an old lady who didn't care about anything and could eat anything. What's the difference between her and a garbage recycling station?

Tong Wenping deeply felt that he had been deceived by Jiang Meng because of his naivety.

After Jiang Meng finished eating the sesame cakes and steamed buns left by Tong Wenping, her stomach was already about 70% full.

She looked worriedly in the direction where Mingfu and his sister were, wondering if they had packed up, found food, and if they were still hungry.

He looked at his share of sesame cakes and steamed buns in the supply bag in front of him, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

She turned to Tong Wenping and asked, "Wenping, are you really not going to eat anymore? If you don't, I'll finish it. I'm so hungry today and I'm not full yet."

Tong Wenping said impatiently, "I've told you so many times, if you want to eat it, then eat it. Why do you keep asking?"

Jiang Meng stopped talking nonsense, packed up his portion of sesame cakes and steamed buns, found a tall branch to hang them up, and prepared to deliver them to the brother and sister tomorrow morning.

She also wanted to send it over today, but she knew that Tong Wenping didn't want her to interfere in other people's affairs. Tong Wenping was still asleep, and it would be terrible if he knew about it.

Besides, it was dark now, and she had neither a light nor a fire, so it was unrealistic for her to go there alone in the dark.

Jiang Meng simply tidied himself up, rinsed his mouth, and climbed onto his hammock.

Sleeping in a hammock is quite comfortable if there are no annoying mosquitoes to bother you.

Tong Wenping not only didn't have the habit of going to bed so early, but the sound of mosquitoes lingering in his ears was also a major problem that prevented him from falling asleep.

He tossed and turned in the hammock for an hour, but didn't feel sleepy at all. Instead, the more he slept, the more awake he became, and the hungrier he became.

Just when his stomach began to rumble and he felt so hungry that his heart was burning, the aroma of delicious food brought by the sea breeze blew into Tong Wenping's nose.

His stomach was very honest and made a loud "gurgling" sound, which was particularly abrupt in the silent night.

Tong Wenping clung to the edge of the hammock and impatiently popped his head up to ask Jiang Meng, "Jiang Meng, do you smell the aroma of barbecue?"

How could Jiang Meng not smell it? She had smelled it a long time ago, but her stomach was full and she was much calmer than Tong Wenping.

"It should be one of their group's guests having a barbecue."

The only ones who can grill meat are Shao Yi and Bai Yinyin, or Pei Haotian and Shan Yanli. They not only have meat, but also self-heating food.

"But where do they get the fire?"

"Maybe there's fire in their supplies."

"They are so lucky." Tong Wenping was so greedy that he could hardly hold back his saliva.

"Yeah..." Jiang Meng said casually. Some people can now eat and drink delicious food, but Mingfu and his sister can't even afford dinner.

She felt even more sorry for the brother and sister, as they had to be hungry and forced to smell the aroma of barbecue in other people's homes.

In fact, her husband was also hungry and smelled the aroma of barbecue, and he was already losing his composure.

Tong Wenping swallowed more than ten mouthfuls of saliva, which was enough to moisten the dry and hard steamed buns.

He really couldn't help it, and thought that the steamed buns were fine, at least it could fill his stomach. Then he turned over and got out of the hammock, groping in the dark relying on his memory.

As a result, the place where they had originally placed the supply packages was empty.

Tong Wenping was startled. Lan Mang called out to Jiang Meng, "Where's our food?"

Jiang Meng knew that he was probably hungry, so she hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to give the food to Tong Wenping.

On one side, Tong Wenping was being picky about food, and on the other side, Mingfu and his sister were starving pitifully.

Jiang Meng clenched his fists and his heart hardened.

"I said I wasn't full, but you made me eat it all."

Tong Wenping was furious when he heard this: "You ate two people's portions. How can you eat more? You can't even eat a pig."

Jiang Meng was silent for a moment, then said the same thing: "I asked you."

Tong Wenping didn't care what he had said before. He just felt that he was not valued. Jiang Meng only cared about herself and didn't consider what to do if he was hungry.

"Do you still have me, the head of the family, in your heart? You only care about yourself, right? Why are you so selfish?"

"Why did I let you eat? Have you ever thought about the reason? It's because I feel sorry for you and worried that you'd be hungry. Did you think about me when you ate? Did you consider me?"

"You didn't! You only thought about not having enough to eat and that you were hungry!"

Tong Wenping spoke without stopping, becoming more and more excited as he spoke.

Jiang Meng listened quietly the whole time. She was not angry at all, but rather unusually calm.

"You should talk less. You'll get hungry more easily when you're emotional."

Reminded by Jiang Mengyi, Tong Wenping heard his stomach growling again.

He really didn't have the energy to continue arguing with Jiang Meng. Jiang Meng was energetic because he was full, but he was so hungry that he felt dizzy and weak in the legs, and he even had hypoglycemia.

Tong Wenping wisely lay back down on the hammock.

"You ate up all our rations in one go. You'll be hungry tomorrow morning too. Let's see how you're going to solve the problem of eating."

Jiang Meng: "I'll find a way tomorrow morning."

Tong Wenping said sarcastically, "Don't eat it all by yourself again."

Jiang Meng: "Then don't be picky and dislike what I found."

Tong Wenping snorted. He regretted it now, so much so that his intestines turned green. If he had known earlier, he should have pinched his nose and eaten the cold steamed buns in the evening.

"How could I be picky or disgusted?" Tong Wenping muttered guiltily.

He sniffed the charming aroma of barbecue, covered his rumbling stomach, and began to count the dumplings while swallowing his saliva.

Jiang Meng listened to his mumbling, covered her lips and laughed secretly in the dark.

The second group to smell the fragrance were Pei Haotian and Shan Yanli. They had already eaten dinner and were still building their shelter in the dark.

Neither of them had any experience in building a shelter, and it was dark when they finished building one. It was still an unfinished project with leaks everywhere.

There was no way to deal with the leaks everywhere, they had to hurry to build the second one, otherwise one of them would have to sleep outdoors on Huangdao Island.

Pei Haotian was unwilling to be the one sleeping rough, but his personality did not allow him to sleep well, leaving the lady to sleep rough on the deserted island.

As a result, they were still building shelters by the faint moonlight when they should have been resting.

"I told you to tie the palm leaves tightly, but you didn't listen even after I told you several times. If you want to sleep outdoors, then we won't join you. It will save you a lot of trouble."

Pei Haotian had made Shan Yanli angry countless times that day. She couldn't pick any good palm leaves, and she couldn't find any wood either. In the end, the wood she used was the one Pei Haotian brought back.

Now it was time to build the shelter. She tied the knot with one foot at the front and could loosen it with the other foot at the back. I don't know what was going on in her mind. She had just learned it during the day, but she had forgotten it completely in just one day.

He was quite active in eating. If it weren't for his planning, Shan Yanli would have eaten all the food for tomorrow in one go.

"Oh, I'm not strong enough. I tried very hard, but she just wanted to let go. What can I do?" Shan Yanli started using her old tricks again, acting coquettishly and playing rogue.

She just can't do it, and she relies on her girl status. You can't do anything about her, so you can only swallow your anger.

Although Pei Haotian despised Shan Yanli's trick, to be honest it was indeed effective.

Unable to rely on Shan Yanli, he had to do it himself. He ignored Shan Yanli and just silently tied the palm leaves on the top tightly.

By the end of the work, he felt a little dazed, his body was tired, hot and itchy, and his spirit was on the verge of collapse. He occasionally doubted his life and what the hell he came to this show for.

But when he thought that Jing Ye didn't even have a place to stay tonight and might even be starving, he felt full of strength and any pain or difficulty was not worth mentioning.

Shan Yanli sat comfortably watching Pei Haotian work, feeling extremely happy.

At this time, he realized the benefits of following Pei Haotian. Although this man was not happy about it, he was very proud. So what if he was lazy? He couldn't get angry with a girl directly. In the end, he still did all the work by himself.

Shan Yanli was feeling the sea breeze, and suddenly she sniffed the air.

"What a smell! It smells so good."

Pei Haotian also smelled it at the first moment.

"Who among them is eating meat? Why does it smell so good?"

Shan Yanli's mouth was watering with greed. They didn't eat much at night. Pei Haotian was very organized and divided the food into several portions. If they ate sparingly, they could have six meals, which was enough to ensure they had food for two days.

Tonight, Shan Yanli and Pei Haotian shared a bag of chicken breast, a braised egg each, and a piece of sponge cake, which was barely enough to fill their stomachs, but far from being full.

Now that I smell the tempting aroma, the little food in my stomach suddenly becomes useless.

Shan Yanli had long forgotten her identity as a female celebrity. Yesterday she was still strictly controlling her calorie intake and didn't even move her chopsticks at the dinner party in the evening.

Now she is so greedy, the kind of greed that can eat a whole cow.

"Teacher Pei, who are you talking about eating meat? What kind of meat are they eating? Why doesn't the meat we eat have the same fragrance as theirs?"

Pei Haotian knew who it was without having to guess. There were only a few people who could eat meat. Tong Wenping and his wife only had steamed buns and baked cakes, not a piece of meat. Jing Ye was probably still digging for treasure and couldn't eat meat either.

The only one who could feast on meat without any scruples on the first night was Bai Yinyin, whose material resources were of the same standard as theirs.

When Pei Haotian thought of Bai Yinyin, his face darkened a little.

She was living a good life with Shao Yi, eating delicious food and chatting with him. She must be very happy now. No wonder she didn't even dare to look at him in the afternoon.

I was so nice to her in vain before. This woman is just an ungrateful person.

Pei Haotian's voice turned colder, and he turned around and asked, "Are you craving meat too?"

Pei Haotian's criticism of her was still ringing in Shan Yanli's ears. Shan Yanli didn't dare to say that she was greedy, so she could only smile and say, "I just feel hungry again. I just did so much work."

Pei Haotian snorted coldly. She did so much work? Which of it was done by Shan Yanli? The only thing she accomplished was destroying Jing Ye's house.

If it were any other time, Pei Haotian would definitely ignore her. If she was hungry, she would be hungry. It was useless for a useless person to eat so much.

But the current situation is different. Bai Yinyin is enjoying a good life, so how could he show weakness?

"Eat if you want."

Shan Yanli was flattered: "Is it really possible?"

"Take the self-heating hot pot apart." Pei Haotian said.

It’s just meat. Bai Yinyin isn’t the only one who has it. She won’t be short of meat if she follows him.

Shan Yanli happily took apart the only self-heating hot pot. Soon the self-heating hot pot began to emit steam. Pei Haotian also took apart the chicken legs and placed them on the self-heating hot pot to heat them.

Their second meal tonight was extremely luxurious, and Shan Yanli was smacking her lips when she went to sleep.

After they ate too much, they did not clean up the mess in time. After they fell asleep, the small animals on the island came to visit, not only making a mess of their food leftovers, but also ruining their unopened food.

Of course, they didn't discover all this until early the next morning.

However, Bai Yinyin, who they suspected was enjoying a feast, had already gone into the tent to rest. Their tent was thick and they could not smell the scent of the sea breeze outside.

The real creator of the fragrance, now is the beginning of enjoying the delicious taste.

The marinated beef is cut into large pieces and then grilled. Every bite is full of juice and oil, which is very satisfying.

If you get tired of eating roast beef, you can eat it with coconut shells and take a sip of the sweet coconut chicken soup inside. It will instantly relieve the greasiness and fill your mouth with fragrance.

The beef they roasted was so tempting and delicious that the audience drooled.

Director Guo, who was on another island, was also tempted. It seemed as if he could smell the fragrance even though he was 20 nautical miles away. He sniffed the air with his nose.

At this time, Assistant Director Xiao Zhao brought dinner to his rest room, which was a work meal made by their staff themselves.

One serving of mushy braised chicken and one serving of wilted stir-fried vegetables.

It's totally incomparable to what the brother and sister are eating in the picture.

Director Guo ate the rice on the plate with big mouthfuls, staring intently at the sizzling beef on the screen.

While eating, he ordered, "Tell the logistics department that we will have coconut chicken and barbecue tomorrow."

Assistant Director Xiao Zhao thought that the people who cooked the food were all conscripted men, so it was good enough to have something to eat, so he wanted to order some dishes.

But when he looked at what Jing Ye and his sister were eating in the video, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Forget it, let the logistics department figure it out, he wants to eat too!

Jing Ye on the island finished the last mouthful of soup in the coconut shell. His stomach was full and he felt relaxed all over. He leaned back against the tree trunk behind him.

Ming Fu next to him was not like him, she sat upright, waving a bunch of grass in her hand to drive away mosquitoes.

"Afu, what kind of grass did you catch? It's quite effective." Jing Ye realized belatedly that the poisonous mosquitoes were flying around and didn't seem to get close to them.

"This is mosquito repellent grass. It has the effect of repelling mosquitoes."

"You even know this?" Jing Ye laughed, staring at Ming Fu with curiosity. "How many things have you learned behind your brother's back? You can weave palm mats, sharpen stone knives, make coconut chicken, and even recognize mosquito repellent grass."

Ming Fu stroked his chin in thought for a while, then couldn't help laughing: "That's because you, my brother, are so useless, so I look so powerful."

Jing Ye was so angry that Ming Fu laughed: "Little girl, can you be more modest? You are really good at insulting your brother. I gave you a ladder and you dared to climb to the Heavenly Palace."

As he smiled, the smile on his face turned bitter and he sighed helplessly towards the sky.

"Brother is really useless. He can't do anything about the house that collapsed. This is clearly what our Ah Fu worked so hard to get, but he hasn't even lived in it for a single day."

Jing Ye added a piece of wood to the fire and said with a wry smile: "It's good now, it has become firewood."

"Actually, I'm not that sad. It collapsed, so what? I can probably guess what the house will end up like, so there's no need to be sad, brother."

Jing Ye didn't understand: "What do you mean you probably guessed it?"

"What I mean is, I didn't believe from the beginning that the production team was so kind as to prepare a comfortable cabin for us to stay in."

Ming Fu looked at Jing Ye with her clear eyes, and the flames reflected her serious face red.

Director Guo, who was sitting in front of the surveillance screen, felt his heart skip a beat. He didn't even bother to eat and unconsciously sat up straight.

Jing Ye became even more confused after hearing this: "What do you mean you don't believe it? In fact, the cabin is already prepared."

"But you saw the house, it collapsed." Ming Fu pointed to the ruins.

Jing Ye frowned, his intuition told him that things were not simple.

"A collapsed house is the same as having no house at all. No, it's probably worse than having no house at all, because we have gained something and lost it. It's harder than having nothing. The difficulty lies in adjusting our mindset and how to deal with temporary crises."

Jing Ye couldn't agree more with this point. When he saw the house collapsed, he was completely devastated. If A Fu hadn't been there, he might have done nothing and just lay down on the ground.

But precisely because he was not alone, he had a younger sister with him, and he couldn't let A Fu go hungry with him, so he had to work hard for his sister, so he tried his best and was determined to get the supplies back.

Then I was able to have a full meal today.

Jing Ye grabbed Ming Fu's hand, tears of emotion streaming down his face.

"Afu, luckily you are here. You are my spiritual support. With you around, I can do anything. I am Superman."

Ming Fu didn't know why he was so moved. He paused for a moment and then continued, "Brother, have you ever thought about this? The show we're participating in is clearly about extreme survival in the wild, so why do they provide us with houses? Can living in a house still be called 'extreme survival'?"

Jing Ye's mind finally came to a head, and he stroked his chin and said in sudden realization, "So what you're saying is, they didn't plan to let us live in the house from the beginning?"

"Do you think a normal house could be so fragile that a piece of wood no bigger than a bowl could collapse it?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Jing Ye slammed the wooden board under his butt.

"Also, if the house really collapsed accidentally, the production team should have immediately activated the emergency plan and sent people to the island to deal with it. However, after so much time, no one has come."

Ming Fu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "There is only one truth. The collapse of the cabin was unexpected. You could say they were the one who caused it."

Jing Ye was stunned for a moment, and after digesting what Ming Fu said, he suddenly became angry.

He stood up suddenly and started looking around for something. Then he picked up a stick more than one meter long and was about to swing it at the drone hovering in the air.

Director Guo was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and quickly asked the technicians to fly the drone away.

In the picture, Jing Ye's cursing figure is getting smaller and smaller.

Director Guo wiped the sweat from his forehead; his vest was soaked.

He never expected that Jing Ye's sister could see through his little thoughts.

Assistant Director Xiao Zhao has worked under Director Guo for several years, and this is the first time he has seen Director Guo, who always has a comprehensive view of the overall situation, lose his composure like this.

Jing Ye’s sister is so amazing that Assistant Director Xiao Zhao’s eyes changed when he looked at Ming Fu, and became admiring.

The drone flew away, which indirectly shows that the production team is guilty and this is their conspiracy.

It shocked the audience across the country for a while. The program team had a very sophisticated routine, and Jing Ye's sister was very smart.

At the same time, two other members of linkwe also witnessed this scene.

After Xu Weixing and Chi Cheng finished filming the commercial, on the way back to the company in the evening, Chi Cheng turned on his tablet to watch a program, saying that he wanted to support their captain's sister.

"Brother Qian, Brother Qian, our sister is so awesome." After listening to Ming Fu's analysis, Ming Fu has changed from the captain's sister to "our sister."

"You can't let Jing Ye hear this, he will definitely be angry with you." Qian Yu smiled, "But his sister is really amazing and has helped him a lot. Without his sister, he really wouldn't be able to do this. It seems that agreeing to let him take his sister with him was the right decision."

"Why don't I have a younger sister? Is it too late to ask my mother to give birth to a younger sister for me now..." Chi Cheng muttered and fearlessly called his mother.

Qian Yu shook his head at Chi Cheng's silly look, and then heard Xu Weixing, who had been silent the whole time, call him.

He turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Weixing was playing a game. He took a moment to look up and asked, "Just wondering, have you dealt with all the water troops from the day?"

Qian Yu: "It's been handled. The group owner has been contacted. I bought the experience of the water army and found a group owner. Don't worry, I have told the group owner. They understand the rules and will not do it again."

"Have you found the person who bought the water army?"

Qian Yu looked at him curiously: "You really care about your captain. You can't tell at all normally."

Xu Weixing pursed his lips and didn't answer. His light brown eyes stared at Qian Yu stubbornly, determined to get an answer: "So who is it?"

"I don't know." Qian Yu shrugged. "I only know that he's a student, probably a fan of Jing Ye. You know, Jing Ye's mouth attracts a lot of negative comments."

Xu Weixing did not continue to ask questions. He was playing games with headphones on. Chi Cheng had already started to be scolded. Qian Yu next to him could hear the scolding from Chi Cheng's mother, but Chi Cheng did not give up and continued to argue. The mother and son were arguing happily.

The people around him were listening to a crosstalk, and Qian Yu was enjoying it. Just as he was about to take out his mobile phone to deal with work messages, Xu Weixing in the back row called him again.

Qian Yu turned around again and saw Xu Weixing took off his headphones and temporarily hosted the game, looking at him seriously.

"I heard that I was invited to be a guest on that show?"

It took Qian Yu a moment to understand that the program Xu Weixing was talking about should be the one Jing Ye was currently on.

"Yes, but I told you before that our group doesn't need to send two people. It's a waste of resources, and you agreed."

"I think it can be changed after talking to the production team. Tell them I want to go."

"It can be changed..." The production team was more than happy to do so, but Qian Yu was confused. "Why do you suddenly want to go? What's so good about their show? Look at Jing Ye, he can barely eat a proper meal."

Xu Weixing put his headphones back in and continued playing his game, saying casually, "The captain is so useless. He's a grown man, but he still lets his sister take care of everything. He's a disgrace to our group."

The author has something to say:
