Almost all the groups signed up.

There wasn't any other reason. The biggest reason was that the production team took away everyone's belongings after they came to participate in the show. Many guests didn't have any money on them, so even if they saw a restaurant, they didn't have money to eat. It would be feasible to shamelessly ask the kind villagers for money, but the key point was that rather than eating and drinking for free, it would be better to just play some games. At least that would be considered as earning it through one's own ability.

The production team began by explaining the game rules, saying, "Our game this round is called 'You Act, I Guess'."

An open space was marked out in the middle of the site.

The director smiled and said, "Now, each group will take turns coming up. Our production team will give you the name of a movie or TV series. You will have five minutes to perform. During these five minutes, the other group members will guess the name of the main character in the movie you are performing. Once you guess the name correctly, you will get 5 points. 10 points can be exchanged for a dish. Please remember that you cannot say the name of the main character while you are performing. If you do, it will be considered a foul."

The director added, "Of course, if anyone reads out the main character's name during the process, it will be considered a foul and they will be punished."

This rule sounds acceptable.

I guess the production team didn't want to go through all that trouble. Some of the guests flew over, didn't even have time to eat breakfast in the morning, and then had to run around the village looking for people and doing chores. They were exhausted.

The director said, "Alright, now that everyone understands the rules, let's welcome the first group, Shen Xingchen and Tuya!"

The others applauded.

The audience is also looking forward to it:

"I've never seen the young master act before."

"Haha, Teacher Tuya has hardly ever acted either."

"Looking forward to it!"

As the countdown officially began, a staff member held up the panel. Shen Xingchen glanced at it and saw that it read "SpongeBob SquarePants".

Tuya was still a little confused.

Shen Xingchen had already started. He first coughed lightly, then jumped around a couple of times. The little hedgehog-headed boy looked very happy. Then he took Tuya's hand and said in a drawn-out tone, "Let's go catch jellyfish!"

"..."

Tuya remained silent for a while.

She hadn't watched SpongeBob SquarePants much, so she didn't know how to respond to that line and could only nod and say, "Okay."

The other guests were amused by Shen Xingchen's exaggerated acting skills.

Seeing that no one was calling out their names, Shen Xingchen had to give a more direct hint. He picked up a twig from the ground and then made a stir-frying motion: "I'm going to make the most delicious crab burger!"

The other guests started raising their hands:

SpongeBob SquarePants.

"The main characters are SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star."

"Does Mr. Krabs not deserve to be a lead actor?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Everyone was joking and having a good time. This interactive game also increased the enthusiasm of the viewers in the live chat. Some enthusiastic viewers actively participated, and the live chat was already flooded with names before some of the guests even had time to react.

Soon, the production team provided a second cue card.

The Legend of the White Snake

Fortunately, Tuya had also seen this show.

Shen Xingchen coughed lightly. He got into character very quickly. Just as Tuya was about to play the White Snake, he had already made a delicate gesture with his fingers and hopped over to Tuya's side, shyly saying, "My lord..."

Tuya froze completely.

Who would imagine a tall, 180cm man with spiky hair, who looks like an older brother, holding your hand and calling you "my lord"? It's just too shocking!

The other guests were amused by this scene.

Some people tried to guess:

"Is that Master Ximen Qing?"

"Hahaha, don't talk nonsense. What if it's the lure of going back to the village?"

"I think it's clearly Detective Di Renjie."

“Di Renjie is called ‘Sir,’ not ‘Official.’”

The guests' imaginative guesses amused the viewers in the live stream, but also made Shen Xingchen, who was performing, jump up and down, glaring at everyone in exasperation.

Fortunately, Tuya quickly grabbed his hand and began reciting her lines, her eyes filled with tears: "Even if the waters flood Jinshan Temple today, I will definitely rescue my husband!"

Shen Xingchen choked, struggling to think of a good reply for a long time, before finally managing to say, "Well, thank you."

Tuya's carefully cultivated emotions instantly crumbled, and she burst out laughing, saying, "No, you're welcome."

The guests laughed along, and then they realized what kind of play they were performing. They guessed it, and this group got another 5 points. This segment was full of laughs from beginning to end, with the audience and guests making jokes one after another. At the end, Shen Xingchen's group got a total of 30 points, which is equivalent to three dishes.

When it was over, Shen Xingchen was panting heavily: "I'm so tired!"

Tuya nodded in agreement: "Acting is really a technical skill, and being an actor isn't easy."

The director waited until they had all finished performing before taking out the megaphone and announcing, "Now, our second group, An Ran and Li Xu'an, get ready!"

The second group is in place.

An Ran and Li Xu'an mostly received animated films, such as "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" and "Boonie Bears," which are household names. The performance difficulty was not high, but their performances were lively and interesting. In the end, they received 40 points, which is not bad.

Soon, it was the turn of the third group, Shen Xingsui and Fu Jinxiao.

Tuya said from the side, "You two might need to be careful. Because of tonight, the production team might increase the difficulty of your performance. Sui Sui, be prepared."

After all, one must be able to undertake tasks of a certain level of difficulty.

Shen Xingsui was a little nervous.

Fu Jinxiao, on the other hand, was relaxed and at ease. As he walked towards the venue, he glanced down at Shen Xingsui and whispered, "Don't be nervous, just follow me."

Shen Xingsui was a little nervous at first, but after Fu Jinxiao said that, she was surprisingly not so nervous anymore. Maybe this person really does have a kind of magic that makes people feel safe.

The two people stood in the middle of the venue, and the production team held up a sign that read: "Journey to the West - The Kingdom of Women".

...

Shen Xingsui fell silent instantly.

The other groups had difficulty with SpongeBob SquarePants and Boonie Bears, but for them it was like Journey to the West. And not only Journey to the West, but they even specified which story it was. Shen Xingsui looked up and met Fu Jinxiao's deep gaze. He made up his mind that no matter how difficult it was, they would do their best and risk everything for victory!

Shen Xingsui recalled the memorable points Shen Xingchen had given everyone, cleared her throat, and tentatively asked, "Is it true that drinking the water of the Mother-Child River will make you pregnant?"

A smile flickered in Fu Jinxiao's eyes, and she nodded gently: "Yes, it's true."

The other guests immediately guessed it:

Journey to the West

"Sun Wukong".

"Tang Sanzang, Zhu Bajie!"

The production team shook their heads: "No."

Shen Xingsui was also stunned. It seemed that the program had designated the Kingdom of Women as the main character, and the program team had defined the Queen as the protagonist. If that was the case, they would have to deepen everyone's memory of the details of the Kingdom of Women.

Shen Xingsui racked his brains and finally remembered two more lines. He was a bit shy at times, and he blushed a little when he thought of those lines, but in order to win, he still said them softly: "Let's not talk about the journey to the West today, Brother Yudi. Look at this Imperial Garden, the spring sunshine is so bright and the scenery is so pleasant. Shall I accompany you to stroll and admire it for a while?"

Her voice grew softer and softer, especially when she said the words "brother," her words gentle and tender, tinged with shyness.

The guests exclaimed in surprise, and the live stream chat exploded with excitement.

"Who can withstand this!"

"That call of 'brother' melted my heart."

"Sui Sui baby, you're so cute!"

"Hahaha, I'd call this group the best."

Shen Xingsui felt extremely embarrassed after speaking, and didn't dare to lift his head or look at Fu Jinxiao's expression. Fu Jinxiao raised his eyebrows meaningfully, and watched as the person in front of him who had finished speaking his lines slowly darkened. He gradually restrained his leisurely and carefree expression, which was a sign that he was about to get serious.

The guests also started to guess seriously:

"The Queen of the Women's Kingdom?"

"Tang Sanzang".

"Imperial Advisor"

"The Pipa Spirit".

When the director shook his head again, the guests were dumbfounded. They hadn't expected this group to be so difficult. Other groups could pass by simply saying a few main characters' names, but this group couldn't. By this point, Fu Jinxiao had roughly understood the problem and knew what kind of answer would pass.

Shen Xingsui was also anxious. He asked Fu Jinxiao, "Why are their answers all wrong? I felt that the lines just now were very clear and there was no problem."

Looking at the adorable person in front of him, Fu Jinxiao felt a mischievous urge and wanted to tease him, so he lowered his body and said in a deep and magnetic voice: "Maybe your brother shouted too softly and they didn't hear you. Why don't you shout a couple more times?"

Shen Xingsui froze. At first, she had actually been seriously considering it, but after a beat of slow reaction, she realized that Fu Jinxiao was actually playing a trick on her. Her face turned red, and she glared at him fiercely.

Finished

I'm angry.

Fu Yingdi immediately dropped his joking expression. His emotions seemed to be under his control, and he was able to get into character in an instant. His face was serious and solemn. When he stood there, he looked like a monk who was neither sad nor happy and had the world in his heart. He put his palms together and said, "Your Majesty, this humble monk is eager to obtain the scriptures. I hope Your Majesty will issue the pass to Xiliang as soon as possible."

He emphasized the words "Xi Liang" very much.

The guests behind finally realized what was happening, and Teacher Li, who had been enlightened, slammed his hand on the table and exclaimed, "Is it the Queen of Xiliang?"

The director nodded: "Yes!"

"..."

Hell difficulty.

As expected, the difficulty level of the questions given to the movie star was extraordinary. It wasn't just about Journey to the West; the subsequent film and television works even included several less popular and niche films. If it were an ordinary person, they might have been stumped. However, Shen Xingsui demonstrated extraordinary memory, and Fu Jinxiao was extremely good at acting and grasping the key points of the questions. In the end, they actually scored 50 points, which is the highest so far.

The guests applauded after the event.

"Wow, this is amazing."

"Teacher Fu and Sui Sui are both wonderful."

"You two are really amazing."

The only problem is that, despite having enough time left for the last two movies, which should have been no problem for Fu Jinxiao, he made a careless mistake and read out the main character's name, even dragging Shen Xingsui into the mess. Both of them committed a foul and will have to accept the punishment together later.

After all the groups had finished playing the game, the punishment session began.

The first group was Shen Xingchen and Teacher Tuya. The two of them had to work together to eat a chocolate bar. They faced each other and bit into the chocolate bar, making a crunching sound as they ate. The scene of the handsome man and beautiful woman was very beautiful, but when they were eating the last one, Shen Xingchen, being silly, bit the chocolate in half because he used too much force, which made Teacher Tuya laugh uncontrollably.

The production team has approved it.

The next pair was An Ran and Li Xu'an. The two of them had a bit of a couple vibe. The two handsome young men leaned against each other and ate very slowly. But towards the end, Li Xu'an secretly bit off a piece of the chocolate bar, leaving a piece for each of them to finish.

However, viewers still exclaimed that just looking at their faces was enough to satisfy them.

Next up were Shen Xingsui and Fu Jinxiao. When this group appeared, the live stream chat exploded with comments:

“GKDGDK”

"I've been waiting for two people."

Shen Xingsui stood in front of Fu Jinxiao, and the two of them bent down and put the chocolate in their mouths. The distance between them slowly closed, so close that Shen Xingsui felt that he could clearly smell the pleasant warmth on Fu Jinxiao's body. He was warm, and although there was a chilly wind blowing in the center of the square, he didn't feel cold at all.

Gradually, only half of the chocolate was eaten.

Shen Xingsui felt his heart beating faster and faster. Looking at the handsome face that was close to him, he felt his limbs stiffen and didn't know what to do. The person in front of him was someone he had never dared to dream of getting close to. Now they were so close that Shen Xingsui's mind seemed to go blank and he forgot to think.

He didn't intend to bite off the chocolate himself, because he thought Fu Jinxiao would bite it.

However, when the chocolate was almost gone, he felt a gentle and soft touch on his lips, and smelled the cool and pleasant scent of Fu Jinxiao's hand. It all seemed to happen in an instant.

then

All I could hear was the applause from the guests: "Challenge complete!"

The position was rather tricky, and no one else could see what had happened. Only Shen Xingsui was still standing there, somewhat bewildered, unable to move for a long time.

Even people not far away thought something was wrong with him: "Sui Sui, what are you daydreaming about?"

When Shen Xingchen walked over, she was a little curious and said with a smile, "What's wrong with you? Why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?"

To everyone's surprise, Shen Xingsui's face turned even redder after hearing this, and not only his face but also his ears turned bright red. In contrast, Fu Jinxiao beside him remained calm and natural. After hearing Shen Xingsui's words, he even bent down, his handsome features and gentlemanly distance making him look like a well-mannered and polite gentleman, asking with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Shen Xingsui blushed crimson: "No, I don't feel uncomfortable!"

Shen Xingchen blinked in confusion.

Viewers in the nearby live stream were thrilled throughout the entire broadcast.

What just happened?

"Sui Sui, why are you blushing? Say something!"

Something's definitely wrong, ladies.

"Waaaah, but don't be surprised, they're actually kind of a good match."

"That scene was so sweet."

I don't know why, but at first not many people shipped these two. But then, gradually, some people realized that it was practically an official forced pairing. It's not that everyone wanted to force a couple, it's just that these two... gave us way too much sweetness!

The game is finally over.

The crew members were allowed to dine at local farmers' homes. This time, the meal was arranged at the village chief's house at the entrance of the village. Upon entering, a variety of delicious foods were laid out on the table, steaming hot and emitting a wonderful aroma that made everyone, who were already hungry, eager to dig in immediately.

Shen Xingsui unexpectedly discovered that the village chief of this family was actually Uncle Wang, the man she had been tasked with.

When the guests were seated, Uncle Wang casually asked, "Young man, did you remove the thorns from your hands?"

Because the Fei people don't speak the same language, someone had to translate. This statement drew the attention of the other guests sitting at the table.

"What happened?"

"How did you hurt your hand?"

"What's the matter?"

Shen Xingsui knew everyone was hungry, and he didn't want to delay their meal, so he said jokingly, "It's nothing, it's not a big deal. I'll clean it up myself after we finish eating."

Everyone was relieved.

Only Fu Jinxiao, who was standing next to him, frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, "When did this happen?"

As soon as Shen Xingsui looked up, she met the man's somewhat sharp gaze. Usually, this man always had a smiling face and seemed very kind, but even so, no one dared to look down on him. Now that he was serious, his powerful aura was emanating out, and his imposing presence made people feel quite nervous.

Shen Xingsui felt inexplicably guilty, but pretended to be relaxed: "It was my own fault for being careless when I was chopping wood for the task..."

Before he could finish speaking, his hand was taken by someone without any room for argument. Fu Jinxiao's clean and slender hand held Shen Xingsui's hand, which was red and rough from working in the cold wind, creating a stark contrast. However, the man's face did not show the slightest disgust, but his expression was very gloomy.

Then, he gave the director a cool glance.

In the dead of winter, the director suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and shivered. He immediately asked the production assistant to put on another military overcoat for him, which made him feel much better. At the same time, he secretly shed tears, realizing that he had displeased this "King of Hell," and that this episode was likely to be in grave danger.

...

Shen Xingsui thought the look was directed at him, and he said softly, feeling a little guilty, "I didn't mean to..."

Fu Jinxiao heard his voice and turned to look at the wound that had been haphazardly wiped. Although it wasn't big, it had thorns. Anyone who had been pricked by one knew how painful it was, and how uncomfortable it would be if it wasn't removed. But Shen Xingsui, that silly child, was thinking of others even though he was already in pain, all for the sake of the mission and to avoid being seen as a nuisance.

Fu Jinxiao sighed helplessly and said, "I'm not blaming you, I'm angry with myself."

I'm so angry that I didn't find out you were injured sooner.

I'm also angry that you got hurt but didn't tell me.

A fire inexplicably ignited in Fu Jinxiao's heart. For the first time, she had nowhere to vent her anger, so she simply said, "I'll go find the production team to get the first-aid kit. You eat first."

Shen Xingsui hesitated: "No need, you should eat too..."

Fu Jinxiao pressed down on his shoulder, stood up, and left.

Shen Xingsui wanted to say something more, but Tuya stopped him. The woman smiled and said, "It's okay, just let him go. Otherwise, he'll still be sulking."

Shen Xingsui hesitated: "Did I make you angry?"

How strange, I was the one who got hurt, so why is Teacher Fu angry?

Tuya felt that this child really knew nothing about emotions. Of course, she was angry because she felt sorry for him. But how should she put it? Tuya could only smile and say softly, "Actually, I've known your teacher Fu for a long time. As far as I can remember, I've rarely seen him frown because of an injury or a wound."

Shen Xingsui was stunned.

"You know he has a leg injury, right?" Tuya said while eating. "But when he injured his leg during rehearsals, he misaligned it while dancing, and he fractured it when he was injured by a prop during filming. I happened to be on set once, and even with such a serious injury, he didn't even flinch. Instead, he calmly instructed his assistant to handle the aftermath."

Just like how you can eat such sour vegetables without any expression.

He is an extremely patient man.

Or perhaps he doesn't really love himself.

But he frowned because you were injured.

Tuya smiled gently at Shen Xingsui: "It's probably because he loves you more than himself."

A single, seemingly casual remark completely threw Shen Xingsui into disarray. Even when Fu Jinxiao returned to treat her wounds, her mind wandered until she returned to the home of the Fei ethnic girl to learn dance, at which point she slowly came back to her senses.

Fu Jinxiao, who was standing next to the girl, asked, "Shall we start teaching you now?"

The Fei girl smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right, but our dance is divided into roles. The other members have already chosen their dance teachers and roles. You are also more suitable for the drum dance. Now there is only one female fairy bride role left."

Shen Xingsui almost bit his tongue: "What, what mother?"

The Fei girl covered her mouth and laughed, answering with her hand: "Bride."

Shen Xingsui hesitated and said, "Should I play the bride? But I'm a boy, how can I play a girl?"

“Boys can play the bride too,” the Fei girl replied softly. “As long as they wear our costumes and props and dance the fairy dance, there shouldn’t be any problem, right?”

Before Shen Xingsui could speak, Fu Jinxiao said, "I have a question."

The girl looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Fu Jinxiao raised an eyebrow and asked slowly, "Who is the groom?"

"..."

Strike at the heart of the matter.

The girl then seemed to realize something and said, "You are not playing the role of the groom in this dance, but my brother can play it in his place. He played this role last year, and he can also make a cameo appearance today."

Find another man to play the role.

Fu Jinxiao leaned against the table next to her and slowly said, "Can't our guests play the role of the groom?"

The girl had been a member of the Fei ethnic village since childhood. She didn't know much about the status and situation of celebrities in the entertainment industry, and she didn't watch many dramas. She said somewhat naively, "Aren't you all singers and dancers? You probably aren't very interested in performing, right? The groom doesn't have any singing or dancing performances."

"Young lady, I think you may have misunderstood."

Fu Jinxiao straightened up, his tall and upright figure unable to conceal his handsome features even in ordinary village clothes. A faint smile played on his lips as he spoke slowly and deliberately: "My family has always been poor since I was a child. When I was young, I had a very small wish, which was to become an actor and perform on stage..."
