The journey was truly bumpy, and Yan Qing felt like he was about to vomit. He squatted by the roadside and dry heaved. He took the bottled water that Yu Qiuchi handed him and rinsed his mouth.
But even the bumpiest road couldn't compare to the bumpy ride the production crew took; they simply put up a huge banner at the village entrance:
[You're the best at hiking 5 kilometers! Welcome to the second episode of our dating reality show, "Country Love"!]
The old man was delighted to see this, praising Zhou Baixi as a handsome and talented young man, but also saying that he was too ruthless, making his son Chi so thin from exhaustion!
Zhou Baixi stated that he would not take the blame for this!
A crowd of elderly people gradually gathered around to watch the spectacle. The seven guests made a particularly synchronized move—covering their faces, as they had truly lost face today.
"Congratulations to Song Yaozhuo for becoming the final winner of the last episode! He now has the right to choose his partner first!" The director announced the results, which they had actually already seen in the fans' discussion forum.
Zhou Baixi's performance should at least go through the motions of formality and make a formal announcement!
However, Song Yaozhuo never expected that, as expected, people with stoic expressions are all ruthless!
Haha, I told you long ago that Song Yaozhuo is a jerk!
[When Song Yaozhuo returned, I gave him a thumbs-up!]
It goes without saying who Song Yaozhuo will choose.
“Yu Qiuchi.” Song Yaozhuo replied without the slightest hesitation.
"Okay, then the remaining guests will be decided by drawing lots!" Zhou Baixi shouted through a megaphone.
With the only spot in Yu Qiuchi's team gone, it doesn't matter who the remaining guests team up with, as there's not much competition.
Zhou Baixi felt he needed to start a fire: "However, we will be reassigning rooms in two days!"
Xie Tingsi was visibly happy; even the dog's eyes lit up!
Final team assignments:
Yu Qiuchi and Song Yaozhuo
Yan Qinghe and Gu Xiaojun
Tang Ke and Xie Tingsi
Jiang Chenzhou led his own team.
There won't be the same perks as the first round this time, so some people will be left out, but Jiang Chenzhou doesn't care. If he weren't on Yu Qiuchi's team, he would actually be more comfortable on his own.
[Ugh! Why is our Zhou Shen on a team all by himself?!]
[He smoked it himself, who can he blame!]
[It's okay, Zhou Shen: Esports, there's no love (wearing sunglasses)]
Below is the classic room allocation problem: there are four accommodations in total, and the conditions are of course different!
The first room is a small house built by the family in the countryside, fully equipped with air conditioning and other appliances.
The second room was a very ordinary bungalow, but it had two beds.
The third room was a small mud house, which was in relatively poor condition, but still habitable.
The fourth place is hard to rate. It's a bamboo hut on the mountain, and it's August now, which is when mosquitoes are most prevalent. If you sleep on the mountain for one night, you'll probably be completely sucked dry! The main problem is that it's very inconvenient to go up and down the mountain!
Before sunset, they have to help with the village's work to earn points, and then choose a house based on their points.
Regardless of how complicated the guests' feelings were, the director immediately announced the start of the game, and then happily went back to the RV to eat popsicles.
As Yu Qiuchi and Song Yaozhuo walked through the village, they discovered that it wasn't as backward as they had imagined. There were quite a few small houses built by their own families, and even the roads were paved, not the dirt roads they had expected.
The cicadas' chirping hadn't stopped in August; they were still struggling and howling in the heat, the sun's rays were incredibly hot.
This task from the show is truly hell for people.
"Auntie, is there anything I can help you with?" Yu Qiuchi felt that relying on Song Yaozhuo, who was so taciturn, would only lead to failure sooner or later. It was better for him to take the initiative himself; it was better to rely on himself than on others!
The old woman was wearing a white sun hat, carrying a bamboo basket on her back, and holding a sickle in her hand. She was about to go out when someone called her. She looked up and saw a fair-skinned young man.
"Young man! You look just like those paper cutouts my daughter keeps talking about! So handsome!" the old lady praised.
The older woman was a bit too enthusiastic: "Young man, do you have a girlfriend now? How about considering my daughter? She graduated from a prestigious university with a PhD..."
Unable to refuse, Yu Qiuchi had to resort to his trump card, but he was also worried that the old lady might be prejudiced: "Auntie, well... I don't like girls."
“Then you can also consider my son!” The old lady didn’t mind at all; her son was thirty years old and she was worried about not being able to find a job.
Upon hearing this, Song Yaozhuo felt a little anxious. Introducing a girl was one thing, as their sexual orientations didn't match, but introducing a boy was another matter. He stood in front of Yu Qiuchi and said, "He's not considering marriage for the time being."
"Ah! Oh! You two aren't a couple, are you? You should have said so earlier, my son won't be a mistress..." The old lady slapped her thigh excitedly as she looked at Song Yaozhuo's protective gesture.
[lol, as expected of a loving mother!]
[This old lady is so open-minded! My son won't be a mistress, hahaha!]
Yu Qiuchi said somewhat helplessly, "Auntie, we're here to record a program. Is there anything we can help you with?"
"Is it one of those points cards? You should have said so earlier!" The village chief had held a meeting all day yesterday specifically about this, and as soon as Yu Qiuchi mentioned recording a program, the old lady immediately remembered it.
"I have one here, see if it's what you want!" The old lady took out a purple card from her body, with the number 10 printed on it.
“Yes, this is it! Auntie, is there anything I can help you with?” Yu Qiuchi asked.
"Help me? No need, I'll just give it to you. You delicate skin and thin arms and legs can't take this. What were you thinking, making you kids suffer like this!" The old lady was a straightforward person, and with a wave of her hand, she was about to hand over the points card.
But the cameraman stopped him: "Our production team has rules, this doesn't count."
