Seeing that Shi Xia had devoured all the food, the four of them had no choice but to start over.
Washing dishes and pots, lighting firewood, fetching water to boil fish, and getting busy.
Although the fish fell off while I was washing it, the water was poured out all at once, the fire went out, and it burned before I could even check on it.
Shen Shiqing watched from afar and really doubted whether they would be able to get any food.
I've figured it out; almost no one in this group can cook.
Hmm, wasn't Wen Xinran supposed to be a great cook? This seems different from the rumors.
[Yeah, I remember she posted a lot of photos of food on Weibo.]
【Oh dear, is the environment deep in the mountains the same as the environment at home?】
[Sister Xinran is just too hungry. She's been starving all day, how could she have the energy to cook?]
[That's right, if it weren't for Shen Shiqing, our sister would have eaten there long ago.]
No, I've said it so many times, it's all about ability. Why should I give you the food someone worked so hard to cook? It's ridiculous.
...
Shen Shiqing and Lu Jingchu's group had already moved to the other side of the riverbank, which was a bit far from where the other people were cooking, since their cooking smelled really bad.
Du Hewen turned on the flashlight to its highest setting.
I must say, that flashlight was practically designed for the outdoors; it was incredibly bright, and when you turned it on, it was as if the sky were suddenly illuminated.
"The flashlight the production team gave us... is really a pleasant surprise..." Du Hewen was completely dumbfounded. "I'm really surprised."
“Indeed, it’s very bright, and I feel safe.” Shen Shiqing nodded in agreement.
"Hehehe, I feel safe when my sister is around." Shi Xia is practically clinging to Shi Qing now.
"Hey, why is Xiaoxia being so clingy lately?" Du Hewen called her that after spending a lot of time with her.
After all, Shi Xia was the youngest sister among their group.
"Isn't Brother Du also very attached to his wife?" Shi Xia smiled mischievously.
"You've certainly learned to make fun of me," Du Hewen said, his brow furrowed with worry. "The first day I haven't seen my wife, I miss her... sigh."
The remaining few exchanged smiles, then shook their heads, already used to it.
[This flashlight, hahaha! (Program team, links 1, 2, 3)]
[Actor Du is always showing off his affection; we've gotten used to it.]
[Shen Shiqing: I'm really going to tie up Q.]
Shi Xia is as clingy as ever. God, please give me a sweet girl like her!
"By the way, Sister Shi, you were amazing in the first game, how come the rest of the game ended so quickly?" Shi Xia couldn't help but ask.
Although she kept eating, it didn't mean she wasn't paying attention to the "battle situation".
"You really are something, I even suspect you were holding back, hahaha," Du Hewen chimed in.
Shen Shiqing also became interested, "What does Teacher Lu think?" He asked, only to realize his mistake as soon as the question left his mouth.
"My God, what am I doing? How could Movie Emperor Lu be interested in something like this?"
"Perhaps it's a bit boring, and you want to finish this quickly?" Lu Jingchu seemed to have thought about it for a moment, and seemed to be answering very seriously.
"Hahahaha, half and half, Teacher Lu guessed pretty much right." Shen Shiqing laughed. "Next time I have the chance, I'll definitely tell you and treat you to a meal."
3 million is enough for too many meals.
"I can't very well tell Lu Jingchu that I took the opportunity to blackmail Song Zhihuai, can I?"
Shen Shiqing thought this, completely unaware that someone could hear him.
"There are exactly four of us, how about we play a few rounds?" Du Hewen was a man who didn't let his words fall to the ground.
"Okay, okay!" Shi Xia was very happy, but when she actually started playing, she realized that she was a complete novice.
The kind of newbie who can only cling to Shen Shiqing's coattails.
On one side, the lights were bright and the atmosphere was cheerful, while on the other side, thick smoke was rising and was particularly choking.
Shen Shiqing was exhausted from playing cards when the food was finally ready.
"Zhihuai, give it a try." Without a doubt, this soup was made by Wen Xinran; it looks alright, but it's unclear how it tastes.
Wen Xinran ladled a bowl of soup directly for Song Zhihuai, her eyes full of anticipation.
How could Song Zhihuai be negligent when a beautiful woman served him soup? Without saying a word, he put the soup into his mouth.
For a moment her expression turned a little strange, but then she smiled again.
"How is it? Is it good? Does it taste wrong?" Wen Xinran also took a sip, her expression changed drastically, and she lowered her head, her voice muffled, "It's not very good. Don't force yourself. It's because I haven't cooked in a long time, and my cooking skills have deteriorated."
Seeing her so remorseful, Song Zhihuai felt heartbroken and drank the whole bowl of soup in one gulp.
"It's okay, I think it tastes good."
The fish soup tasted as bitter as Chinese medicine.
If not handled properly, the fish gallbladder will rupture and naturally taste bitter.
Wen Xinran naturally looked like she was about to cry.
These two have completely different art styles. I'm serious, everyone.
[Yes, yes, I noticed that too. I think they're more suited to a dating reality show than a survival show.]
[And Song Zhihuai's doting way of spoiling them, these two are probably in the honeymoon phase, hahaha]
[Aww, my ship is so great, I'm being fed!]
[Wen Xinran always gives off the vibe of a pitiful, gentle, and innocent little flower when she's next to Song Zhihuai.]
[I heard that Song Zhihuai is the president of a listed company, and he only came on the show to pursue love.]
[Holy crap, is this for real? A handsome, doting CEO versus a gentle, charming female celebrity—I'm totally shipping them!]
...
Qin Shiyue steamed a fish without any seasoning, and it wasn't very tasty, but she still ate it bite by bite to fill her stomach.
It has no taste.
Xia Chun did the same; she lit a fire and grilled two fish, which were so charred that they were unrecognizable, but she still had to eat them.
Tasteless and bland.
The gaze directed at Shen Shiqing also turned venomous.
She'll never let Shen Shiqing get away with this; she has powerful backers now.
Those minor celebrities who went against her never had a good ending.
Let's see what Shen Shiqing will use to fight her in the future.
As he thought about it, he was overjoyed and his earlier gloom disappeared.
That steamed fish doesn't look very appetizing.
[Baby, Mommy will make it for you next time!]
Actually, that grilled fish looked pretty bad, if it didn't taste good.
Wait, did I just see that right? Xia Chun's eyes looked kind of scary.
[You read that right, I thought so too, but what's with the somewhat ruthless Yu?]
...
Du Hewen and Shi Xia went to cut down some large banana leaves.
Shen Shiqing and Lu Jingchu were still sitting on one side of the riverbank, looking up at the stars.
"There are so many stars here. I haven't seen so many stars in a long time," Shen Shiqing exclaimed.
“Yes, indeed. I remember the last time I saw so many stars was ten years ago.” Lu Jingchu chuckled, but the smile went straight to Shen Shiqing’s eyes.
"Was it when we were filming 'Light and Abyss'? I remember there was a huge starry sky there, it was so beautiful."
“Yes, I was still a teenager back then. What, Teacher Shen, have you seen this too?” Lu Jingchu asked casually, as the wind blew and ruffled the stray hairs on his forehead.
"Of course, I've read all of Teacher Lu's works. You've forgotten, I'm a loyal fan of Teacher Lu."
Shen Shiqing was jokingly responding to previous online speculations about her relationship with Lu Jingchu.
Of course, Shen Shiqing made no attempt to hide his feelings for Lu Jingchu.
He definitely has the ability to make people like him.
"My pleasure."
As Shen Shiqing felt the cool breeze from the river, his gaze fell on Lu Jingchu's hand, and he realized something was wrong.
Shen Shiqing got up and went to find disinfectant cotton swabs and band-aids.
Thankfully, Xiaoxia chose the first-aid kit, and it turned out to be the right choice.
"Let's disinfect it," Shen Shiqing said earnestly as she applied the disinfectant. "When did you get hurt?" She had only just noticed it herself, though Lu Jingchu hadn't noticed it either.
Shen Shiqing would find that it was indeed somewhat beyond his expectations.
"It's nothing, just a little scratch," Lu Jingchu said nonchalantly. "It'll be fine in a minute."
Shen Shiqing carefully treated his wound and gently applied a band-aid.
"Avoid getting it wet recently."
"good."
