Chapter 754 Special Mission
This comment resonated with many viewers as soon as it was posted.
[Sister, you've hit the nail on the head! I've been holding back since the last post, afraid of being attacked by his fans. These brainless fans are truly obsessed with their idols. This certain celebrity is clearly a quintessential chauvinist. Note, chauvinist, not just straight! Straight men are just a bit naive, but they wouldn't disrespect people!]
[Top floor comment: After watching the last episode, and seeing this one now, I really suspect this girl has been manipulated by this idiot! He's always giving her attitude and treating her like a servant. If it were me, I would have slapped him a few times already!]
[This fan is ridiculous. Leaving aside the last episode, let's take today's incident as an example. Didn't he himself jump out and ban the girl from participating? Well, even though the top contestant isn't competing, her boyfriend is still awesome. He recklessly took on the responsibility, losing face and then blaming the girl for not being able to help.]
Seriously, this is hilarious. Did the girl force you to throw yourself into trouble? Or did she push you to offend people? You lost face and then gave your girlfriend the cold shoulder, and now you're blaming her. Like trashy idol, trashy fans. It makes me want to vomit...
Although Ye Wanxi stole the spotlight in the first episode, many viewers overlooked the other couples.
Being ignored has its advantages. In the last episode, it wasn't that no one disliked Lian Lifan's personality of taking his bad mood out on his girlfriend, but Ding Li's behavior was so obvious that it attracted a lot of hatred.
In this episode, Ding Li toned it down. Although her interactions with Jiang Yulai still revealed a hint of fake business, at least she didn't harm others.
Viewers who were already prepared lowered their expectations and strangely found the couple more pleasing to the eye. Consequently, the couple, Li Fan and Lian Li, were thrust into the spotlight.
After Lian Lifan's agent realized that the public opinion was turning against him, he immediately hired online trolls to divert attention from the topic and suppress related keywords.
However, thinking about his artist's bad temper, he knew that similar incidents would happen many more times in the future, and he felt a headache coming on.
With Lian Lifan gone, the people present felt a little awkward.
Fortunately, none of them were petty people, and they quickly changed the subject.
"Miss Ye's house is so unique. It must be especially beautiful to sit by the shore and watch the stars while having dinner at night. Um... can we come over for dinner tonight? We'll bring our own ingredients and can help you out. If you don't mind, Brother Nie can cook too; he's a very good cook!"
Ye Wanxi immediately realized that the little girl was worried that the program team had restricted their ways of making money, and that they wouldn't be able to earn enough to buy groceries or eat. She deliberately came up with this excuse to help them make up for it in advance.
“I also want to see the stars. Can we come tonight? We can bring our own ingredients.” Zhao Yun’er’s eyes lit up when she heard Gu Shaoling say that, and she pulled Li Guangjun along, wanting to join in the fun.
"Of course you can. I think there's a market a little further down this street. You can go to the market first to earn money and buy groceries, and then come here to see the stars."
Ye Wanxi glanced at the open-air balcony outside her house and said with a faint smile, "There's a lot of open space outside the house. We can move a table out and put it together for a meal."
"Okay, okay, it's settled then!"
Jiang Yulai chose a house that was a bit far from Ye Wanxi's place, but he knew that the show's popularity was mainly focused on Ye Wanxi and her husband. Being too unsociable would not only result in being ostracized, but also in being ignored.
Therefore, seeing that everyone had already made contact with Ye Wanxi, he hurriedly said, "Um, we'd like to come too, is that alright?"
Ye Wanxi turned her head and glanced at him, or rather, at Ding Li beside him, and said in a neutral tone, "Okay."
Jiang Yulai breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could say anything more, he heard Ding Li mutter softly, "But I want to spend some time alone with you."
Jiang Yulai's expression stiffened slightly, and his brows furrowed. He cursed inwardly, "Idiot!"
"It's rare for us all to get together, so it's more fun if we all hang out together. Didn't you say you wanted to see the stars from here? Miss Ye, this is the best view. We can have some alone time anytime. I'm all yours, so why would I run away?"
Jiang Yulai's words were laced with rage by the end, a mix of reassurance and warning.
Fortunately, Ding Li seemed to have taken it to heart and calmed down a bit, no longer causing trouble.
That was settled. Apart from Feng Tianyu, the other men had all fallen into the water and needed to go back to their lodgings to change clothes and put away their luggage before figuring out how to make money to make ends meet for the next couple of days.
As the surviving winners, Ye Wanxi and her companion lived close by, so they quickly tidied up their house and began discussing how to make money.
"We don't have a single penny on us right now. Since we can't set up a fortune-telling stall, we need to find a job that requires no investment or is willing to let us do it on credit. How about we go and see if there are any shops that need waiters?"
Feng Tianyu picked up a tourist brochure and found a town layout map printed at the bottom: "This is a tourist area with many shops, but it's the off-season for tourism, so business is probably not as good as in the peak season. There may not be many shops that need to hire temporary workers."
Ye Wanxi nodded, agreeing with his point: "In that case, this method won't work. What should we do then?"
Just as Ye Wanxi was feeling troubled, the photographer who was following them suddenly pulled out a card and handed it to the two of them.
"If you two can't think of anything to do, you can also earn cash by completing tasks assigned by our program team."
Ye Wanxi became interested upon hearing his words: "There's another mission. Let me see it."
Ye Wanxi took the card and stared at it intently, her eyes instantly going blank.
The task listed first and with the highest price was... cross-dressing.
Furthermore, it was specifically stated that it was limited to men only, meaning that only men could dress as women; women dressing as men did not count.
When Feng Tianyu saw the task, his expression cracked for a moment, then his face darkened, revealing a cold expression that said, "If you dare to make me do this, you're dead."
Ye Wanxi certainly wouldn't let him do this, especially since this outrageous task was priced extremely low, only thirty yuan for one time!
Ye Wanxi decisively passed on this task and continued reading. But what she saw next shocked her.
[Task 2: Feed the pigs for one hour, priced at 20 yuan. Bonus task: Assist a sow in giving birth, 30 yuan per session, plus a free copy of "Postpartum Care of Sows"]
Ye Wanxi: "???" Delivering the baby is one thing, but why is the prize postpartum care? Does this mean I have to take care of the mother and baby after the delivery?
