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 30

In the dark night, Shan Yanli couldn't see Pei Haotian's expression, but she could vaguely hear the chilling coldness in his hoarse voice.

She shuddered involuntarily.

"Doing this..." Wei Xuan didn't want to casually criticize the second boss's behavior as immoral or not. This was not something he could comment on.

When the words came to his lips, Wei Xuan changed the words: "Wouldn't it be unsafe to do this?"

Pei Haotian seemed to have already made a plan in mind. He was calm and composed.

"Whether it's safe or not depends entirely on whether you have brains."

The next morning, Mingfu was the first to get up.

Last night, she had a rare opportunity to have a room all to herself. The wind blew in the second half of the night, taking away the heat from the island. The temperature on the island was so comfortable that she slept until dawn.

However, as soon as she opened the door to her room, she noticed something was wrong.

The dried meat that was neatly hung in front of the hut suddenly disappeared, and a bunch of bananas were also missing.

There were a lot of messy animal footprints on the ground. The cover of their reservoir was overturned and the barbecue she had thrown into the water last night was gone. The coconut chicken soup next to it spilled all over the water tank. Not a piece of chicken could be seen, leaving only a pool of turbid water.

Not only that, even the vegetable cover was overturned, and the stone on it rolled to the side. All the big and good vegetables and fruits inside disappeared, and only some small fruits were left.

Given the current situation, breakfast may not be prepared right away.

Ming Fu looked very calm and didn't shout in panic like Shan Yanli did that day.

The audience's reaction was even greater than hers.

[I was still lying in bed early in the morning, drowsy when I woke up and saw a familiar scene. I suddenly woke up. What happened? Has my house been robbed by a small animal again?]

How come Jingye and his sister didn't learn their lesson? Brother Tian had already suffered a loss before, yet they were still careless.

[It's not that I'm careless. Before going to bed yesterday, I saw my sister carefully check the storage of food. Every lid was pressed firmly.]

[It doesn't matter if it's covered, you can never underestimate the ability of wild animals to survive]

How come my sister doesn't look heartbroken at all? Her reaction is so calm, it's a bit abnormal.

How do you know they aren't heartbroken? Do you have to be like Shan Jie and torture everyone's ears? That's what heartbreak is?

[It doesn't matter if she's not heartbroken. She's capable and can catch more. Losing food this time doesn't really bother her.]

[No matter if my sister is heartbroken or not, I am heartbroken anyway. So much meat, enough to eat for several days]

What's there to feel bad about? If you ask me, they deserved it. They were so stingy yesterday, they didn't even think to send any food to our Tian Ge. We saw them everywhere, eating without restraint. They literally watched our Tian Ge go hungry. They deserved it!

Rather than letting wild animals steal the meat in the end, it would have been better to be more generous last night and do a favor. In the end, Jing Ye and his sister weren't broad-minded enough.

[People who are petty deserve it. The night before yesterday, they invited all the other guests for the seafood dinner, even Tong Wenping, but they chose not to invite Brother Tian and Sister Shan. If that's not petty, then what are they? Last night, they didn't even bother to show respect to their neighbors. Finally, they got their comeuppance. Even the little animals couldn't stand it.]

[According to the logic of you Pei Haotian fans, the fact that they were robbed by small animals on the first day was also retribution?]

[It's definitely retribution. After all, your brother Tian and sister Shan knew about it at the time. Jing Ye and his sister might have nothing to eat at night.]

Please stop making malicious assumptions about our Tian Ge. You're saying that our Tian Ge knew that the siblings might be hungry. Do you have any evidence?

The audience was mainly divided into two factions, arguing endlessly on the Internet.

At this time, Ming Fu had already walked to the door of her brother's small house. Considering that her brother was not the only one inside, she did not push the door open directly. Instead, she knocked on the door and called her brother softly.

She didn't expect the people inside to react so quickly. Before she finished speaking, the door was pushed open from the inside almost at the same time.

But the person who opened the door was not her brother Jing Ye, but her brother's teammate.

A face suddenly appeared in front of her, catching Ming Fu off guard. She was stunned for a moment.

Xu Weixing was also a little embarrassed and explained, "I was about to open the door when I heard your voice."

"Did it scare you?"

"No." Ming Fu shook his head, tilted his head to look behind him, and saw Jing Ye sleeping in the shape of a "卍".

"My brother hasn't woken up yet?"

"Should we wake him up?"

"Well, wake him up."

Ming Fu's serious expression made Xu Weixing sense that something was amiss. He looked around instinctively and instantly understood what had happened.

Jing Ye had not slept enough when he was woken up. He got out of bed with his eyes closed the whole time, and his feet were standing on the ground before he fully opened his eyes.

But through the tiny gap in his eyes, he saw his sister and Xu Weixing standing shoulder to shoulder in front of the reservoir, talking. They were so close that their shoulders were touching.

Jing Yeren woke up instantly and frowned.

"Just talk if you want to. Why are you standing so close to me? Keep at least one meter away from me."

The two people over there just looked back at him without making any move.

Jing Ye went up and put his arm around Xu Weixing's shoulders, forcibly pulling him away: "Come on, Xu Weixing, let's go to the toilet together."

Xu Weixing had no intention of going with him, so Jing Ye naturally couldn't pull him away.

When Jing Ye wanted to pull him again, he finally noticed that the meat was thrown into the reservoir and the soup was spilled.

Jing Ye, who was very sober just now, is now 100% sober.

"Damn! That grandson did this."

After saying that, he noticed the small paw prints around the pool. The pads were shaped like a plum blossom, with four dots surrounding a large triangle, somewhat similar to the paw prints of a cat.

Jing Ye immediately thought of the little raccoon dog he caught the day before yesterday.

"The little thing is so ungrateful. I caught it that day and quickly released it, even giving it a big chicken drumstick as compensation. After that, the little thing came to eat every day, and I didn't chase it away. I even fed it meat. It was picky and didn't eat fish or meat, so I even shared my beef with it. The little beast is a beast, and he didn't remember my kindness at all, running back to destroy our food."

As he spoke, he turned towards the forest and said, "Little beast, don't let me catch you again next time! Otherwise, I will make you suffer the consequences!"

It’s no wonder Jing Ye was angry. Ever since he released the little raccoon dog with his own hands, the little guy would come here every day to get food and drink. When he saw people eating, he would hide behind a tree. When he saw people discovered him, he would turn around and run into the woods.

You throw food to it, it takes it into the woods to eat, and then runs out and hides behind a tree waiting for the next time humans feed it.

After two days of getting along, Jing Ye thought he had developed a bond with the little raccoon dog, although the little raccoon dog would not let him stroke its fur, would definitely run away within five meters, and would leave after eating.

But Jing Ye still treated it as his own pet and gave it a name, Crispy Noodles.

After two days of emotional investment, Jing Ye was finally betrayed by his pet, which made him very angry.

Xu Weixing said, "Captain, calm down. These are clearly not animal footprints."

"Of course there's more than one. A small beast can't eat so much meat. It will be stuffed to death." Jing Ye began to feel distressed again. This means that they have lost nearly ten kilograms of meat.

"It came here with its friends, bringing their cronies to steal my meat."

The noisy noises they made soon alarmed their neighbors.

Shan Yanli had been feeling uneasy since last night and hadn't slept well the entire night. She woke up when she heard the voices over there, and her movements also woke up Pei Haotian.

He closed his eyes and said, "When you wake up, go out by yourself and don't disturb us."

"They found out!" Shan Yanli's voice changed with fear.

Pei Haotian then opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

What happened last night was also the first time he did it, so he was not much calmer than Shan Yanli. He just looked calmer than Shan Yanli.

Wei Xuan also couldn't sleep. He recalled his days in the countryside. Life was hard, but he had never done anything sneaky. He would even say hello when he broke a corn cob from someone. He never expected that now that he had finally made a name for himself, he would do such a dirty thing one day.

When he was enjoying his meal last night, he had no regrets at all. But now that he has woken up and his head is no longer hot, he feels a little regretful.

He wouldn't die if he didn't eat for one night, so why didn't he control his mouth? He couldn't resist the temptation and became the second boss's accomplice.

He couldn't tell what Pei Haotian was thinking at the moment, nor did he know whether he was regretting his actions last night like himself.

Pei Haotian certainly regretted it, but what he regretted was that he shouldn't have come to this show and shouldn't have put himself in such an embarrassing situation.

He was a favored child who once disdained money and food, and had tasted all kinds of delicacies from land and sea to Michelin black pearls, but now he has fallen to the point of stealing other people's meat to eat.

All of these things were contrary to his previous upbringing, and he didn't know why he was so possessed by the devil last night and made such an impulsive decision.

After he calmed down after a good sleep, he was the most unwilling one.

But what was done was done, and there was no room for him to regret. The most important task at the moment was to get over it quickly and not let them find out.

Pei Haotian sat up, winked at the two people, and warned in a low voice.

"Go check out the situation first. Don't say anything. Remember we went to bed early last night."

As soon as they went out, they heard Jing Ye's voice and heard him scolding the little raccoon.

Hearing this, the three of them looked at each other, their hearts relaxed, and they felt a little relieved.

Pei Haotian walked out, his movements and tone natural.

"What happened? I heard you guys arguing so loudly so early in the morning."

Then, seeing the mess, he suddenly realized with his experience as a person who had been there, "What's going on? Are you also being visited by small animals?"

Jing Ye didn't want to pay attention to him. Looking at Pei Haotian's gloating look, he knew that he was here to laugh at the joke.

And if Pei Haotian knew that he was backstabbed by the "Instant Noodles" he raised, Pei Haotian would definitely laugh at him even more arrogantly.

Pei Haotian was the only one speaking at the scene. Even the noisy and talkative Shan Yanli seemed to be mute at this time, unlike her performance when there was something exciting to watch.

He was alone and the atmosphere was a bit dull.

Pei Haotian glanced sideways at Shan Yanli, motioning her to say a few words, otherwise it would seem too abnormal.

Shan Yanli's mentality was still not stable enough. She was frightened when Pei Haotian looked at her.

She soon understood what Pei Haotian meant, and she couldn't remain silent like this.

After simply preparing herself mentally, she tried to speak with a normal expression.

"Oh, didn't you guys clean up your things before going to bed last night? Otherwise, how could you attract wild animals?"

Pei Haotian signaled her with his eyes to continue.

Once she opened her mouth, Shan Yanli finally regained some of her previous speaking skills and behaved more and more naturally.

"We were inexperienced on our first day here and didn't take good care of our things, so we let them get ruined. Why didn't you learn from your mistakes and were so careless, making the same mistakes as us? So many good things got ruined, isn't it a pity?"

Jing Ye was very angry at the time, and Shan Yanli's words successfully made him twice as angry.

How could he not know to store the food properly? He had been storing it the same way for the past few days and there was no problem at all. Why did something go wrong suddenly last night?

They are already unlucky enough, and now there is an outsider who comes to blame you. You do something wrong, and the current result is all your fault.

Jing Ye saw that everything she said was out of her own selfish motives.

"It's a pity, isn't it? Of course it's a pity. It's a pity that I didn't give you more to steal, right? If the little bastard had eaten it, it would have been a waste. But if it fell into your hands, it's not a waste, so it's not a pity, right?"

"That's not what I meant." Shan Yanli gradually lost her momentum and her voice became smaller and smaller.

When Pei Haotian heard him call him a "little beast", he frowned with physical discomfort.

"Jing Ye, please speak nicely. You can't curse people just because you're in a bad mood. It's so unpleasant to hear people call you a beast."

When Jing Ye heard this, he laughed: "What's wrong with me calling it a beast? It's just a little beast, a little beast that can't be tamed. I was so nice to it, but it doesn't remember the kindness and only remembers the grudge. What an ungrateful wolf."

Pei Haotian's nerves were throbbing. He knew that Jing Ye was scolding the little raccoon, but he couldn't help but let it get into his head and felt that Jing Ye was scolding him.

Wei Xuan's face also looked bad, and he felt the same way at this moment.

At this time, Jing Ye suddenly heard his sister calling him.

"Brother, this is not a raccoon dog's paw print." Ming Fu, who was squatting and studying the paw print, seemed to have made a discovery.

Jing Ye: "If this wasn't done by that little bastard, who else could it be?"

Ming Fu: "Brother, raccoon dogs are canines, and this... looks more like a cat's paw print."

Jing Ye recalled the rhyme he had learned as a child, "The chick draws bamboo leaves, the puppy draws plum blossoms."

Then he looked down.

"Such a standard plum blossom seal, and you're telling me it's not that little bastard?"

Ming Fu: "Although both cats and dogs can create plum blossom prints, there are subtle differences between their patterns."

"What's the difference?" Jing Ye didn't think of it for a moment.

Xu Weixing interjected, explaining, "Cats can retract their claws with their paw pads, but dogs can't, so canine plum blossom prints leave claw marks."

So Jing Ye also began to carefully study the claw marks on the ground.

The ones who were most panicked at this moment were Pei Haotian and the other two, and their hearts skipped a beat.

Last night, they wrapped soil with leaves and made paw prints on the ground. They just wanted to make an animal paw print and never thought that Jing Ye's sister would study what animal the paw print belonged to.

No one had noticed any animal tracks the morning they dropped the food, so they hadn't anticipated this situation last night.

They looked at each other, wondering what to do next.

Jing Ye studied the paw prints for a while and came to his own conclusion: "So what I said was right, that little beast didn't come alone, it brought its cronies with it to steal."

The three friends who were called little beasts: "..."

Jing Ye’s words were so harsh that none of the three wanted to listen anymore, but they had to bite the bullet and continue listening.

Xu Weixing: "A raccoon dog really can't eat that much."

Ming Fu did not raise any objection to this.

Jing Ye became more and more angry as he thought about it, and started collecting all the ropes in the house.

"I have to set traps all around to catch that little beast and its accomplices. Xu Weixing, why are you still standing there? Come over and help me."

In the blink of an eye, Ming Fu was the only one left facing Pei Haotian and the other two.

"Aren't you leaving yet?" Ming Fu asked because he thought they had almost finished watching the show.

Shan Yanli said, "Let me see if anyone needs my help."

"You probably don't want to help with the work we're doing right now." Ming Fu smiled and said meaningfully.

Yesterday she offered to help just to get some food, but today she obviously can't get any food, so it's impossible for her to be willing to help.

After saying that, Ming Fu ignored them and started cleaning up the scene.

Seeing this, Pei Haotian and the other two all breathed a sigh of relief and were finally able to leave with peace of mind.

When leaving, Wei Xuan was thinking that there must not be a next time. He must stop the second boss. If it happens again, he won’t have enough hearts.

Pei Haotian also didn't want to do it again. Next time would definitely not be as easy as last night. He just hoped that Wei Xuan could be more reliable and not let them live in fear again.

In the middle of the morning, the other guests gradually learned about the unexpected situation that occurred in the brother and sister's home.

"Didn't any of you hear any strange noise? After all, there were so many footprints at the scene." Jiang Meng asked in confusion.

She didn't quite understand. When she came to see Mingfu on the first day, she found that she was very alert. She would wake up at the slightest movement or the pulling of banana leaves.

Bai Yinyin said, "It was so windy last night that the sound of the wind filled my ears and even blew our tent apart. How could I possibly hear the sounds of the little animals?"

The strong wind that Bai Yinyin mentioned was indeed the reason why Ming Fu failed to be alert.

She never slept too soundly in the wild, but due to the cool weather last night and the raging wind, she did not notice any movement outside.

"The wind last night must have been level five."

Jiang Meng comforted Ming Fu and said, "It doesn't matter if we have nothing left. Let's just move on. We had nothing on our first day anyway. We can find food later."

"Sister Jiang Meng, don't worry about me. We won't be short of food. I'm going to go around and see what animal stole our food."

"Just like your brother, give it a good lesson after catching it?" Jiang Meng couldn't help laughing.

When she came just now, she heard Jing Ye muttering to himself, saying that once the culprits were caught, he would tie them all to trees one by one, listen to his ideological education, and teach them to become wild animals with morals and bottom lines in the future.

Ming Fu: "For example, wild animals that can eat nearly ten pounds of meat in one go, leaving nothing behind, are either large wild animals or wild animals that live in groups. Regardless of which species, they pose a safety risk to us. If we confirm that the wild animals are aggressive, then we can no longer stay on this island."

Director Guo was scratching his head in front of the camera. The team had done background research on the island before coming. As far as he knew, there was no possibility of large wild animals existing on the island.

But the facts before us could not explain what kind of animal would eat all the food of the brother and sister at once.

Director Guo: "Are you sure there are no large wild animals on the island?"

Assistant Director Xiao Zhao was scratching his head. "No, our people have lived there for a week, and there's not even a snake. The largest mammal is the raccoon dog, and they're not aggressive towards humans."

Director Guo: "The fixed infrared camera didn't capture anything?"

Assistant Director Xiao Zhao said: "The infrared cameras were stationed at night to ensure the safety of the guests. They kept a close eye on the house and the damaged scene was not within the camera range."

Director Guo: “…”

So the animal that attacked last night remains an unsolved mystery.

Knowing that Mingfu was going to look for similar footprints, Jiang Meng was worried, so she accompanied her. Bai Yinyin had to go back to repair their tent, so she didn't go with her.

There are many kinds of small animals on the island, and many different kinds of animal footprints can be found along the way, but none of them are similar to the ones around Ming Fu's home.

Jiang Meng found a fresh set of footprints and quickly called out, "Are these the same footprints?"

Ming Fu took a look and shook his head: "It's different."

Jiang Meng: "Alas, I can't seem to tell them apart at all. I can only tell the size, and the shapes all look the same to me."

Jiang Meng discovered along the way that Ming Fu was very patient. She would carefully observe every newly discovered footprint and then write down what animal's footprint it was. Even if she didn't find footprints that matched the scene, she never got impatient.

Before they knew it, they had circled halfway around the collapsed cabin and had already reached the house where Pei Haotian and his family lived.

Then I met Jing Ye and Xu Weixing, who started from the other end.

Jing Ye wanted to find the suspected animal as soon as possible more than anyone else, and Xu Weixing and Ming Fu shared the same opinion that for safety reasons, it was necessary to identify the wild animal that committed the crime.

Then when they met, it was clear from their expressions that neither of them had gained anything.

When they were at a loss, the voices of Pei Haotian and the other two came over.

Pei Haotian and his friends must have found a lot of food this morning, and the atmosphere of their conversation is now very lively.

Because Wei Xuan had experience living in the countryside, he was very skilled at work and was also good at fishing and catching shrimps. He brought back a lot of things in just the morning.

They also brought back four or five bunches of bananas. Bananas have a high starch content and can be used as a staple food when roasted. They are now roasting the bananas over the fire.

After a while, a sweet smell wafted out.

Shan Yanli had good eyesight and was the first to notice them.

"Are you still looking for the murderer? What if you find him? Can you still take revenge? They are all wild animals." She has adjusted her mentality now and returned to her previous self. She can even talk to Ming Fu.

Wei Xuan still felt guilty and could only find a way to make amends, so he warmly invited them to have lunch together.

"You must be tired after searching all day. It's already noon. Do you want to come and have something to eat?"

"Brother Wei, stop working. Teacher Jing Ye and the others never lack food. How can they be interested in your little food? Even if we invite him, he won't come." Pei Haotian would never try to please someone who doesn't like him.

Based on Pei Haotian's understanding of Jing Ye, Jing Ye just likes to show off his verbal skills and take advantage of others. If you really invite him over, he will only treat you badly for nothing. In fact, he will not come to eat your food at all.

Jing Ye sneered. Couldn't he hear the hidden meaning in Pei Haotian's words? He was about to retort in a sarcastic tone.

Unexpectedly, Ming Fu suddenly smiled and said, "Brother, then let's not be polite. We haven't even started cooking yet. Since our neighbor has warmly invited us, it would be disrespectful for us to refuse."

"Ah?" Jing Ye didn't want it. He would rather starve to death than eat Pei Haotian's food.

Ming Fu said this and winked at him cunningly.

Xu Weixing didn't know why, but he also leaned towards his sister, pressed his shoulder and said, "Let's go, Captain, stop being so pretentious."

Jing Ye: “…”

He was taken to sit opposite Pei Haotian in a daze.

Jing Ye had a bad look on his face, and Pei Haotian wasn't much better.

Jing Ye questioned his sister in a low voice: "What are you thinking? Can't we go back and make our own food? Why do we have to eat this meal? We owe others a favor."

Pei Haotian on the opposite side raised his lips with a smile, which made Jing Ye even more depressed.

Ming Fu looked around and said nonchalantly, "Of course there is a reason."

"What are you looking for?" Shan Yanli was in a good mood and her voice was rising.

This afternoon she finally turned around her previous disadvantageous situation. Mingfu and his sister were so arrogant yesterday, but now they have fallen to such a low level that they have to eat her food, which made her feel very proud.

Ming Fu raised his eyebrows: "You want to help me find it?"

Shan Yanli was even more proud when she heard this, and her tone was full of host: "This is my home, of course I am familiar with it. I will definitely know what you are looking for."

Ming Fu smiled and said, "You do know, but you won't tell me."

"Then if you don't tell me, how do you know I won't say it?"

"Because..." Ming Fu raised his hand and pointed at the ordinary little pile of earth under their house.

"That's what I'm looking for."

Shan Yanli didn't react at first, and then her heart skipped a beat.

Looking at Pei Haotian again, his expression also darkened.

Because Mingfu was pointing at none other than the place where they buried the bones as evidence after eating and drinking last night.
