Lin Zhirou nodded slightly, with a hint of tears in her voice, and said, "Yes, then Qingdai, you should also have a good rest. We will meet again later."
"Okay!" Qu Qingdai responded with a smile, her eyes full of concern and warmth.
Lin Zhirou turned and walked towards her tent, each step carrying a hint of nostalgia and reluctance. Qu Qingdai stood there, watching Lin Zhirou's departing figure, her heart filled with emotion. She knew that from this moment on, their relationship might undergo some new changes, and she hoped that these changes would lead to greater unity and hard work for everyone in this final episode of the variety show.
Qin Yunie was in the tent, her eyes fixed on the conversation between Lin Zhirou and Qu Qingdai. She was terribly anxious because, in the livestream she'd watched, Lin Zhirou's attitude towards Qu Qingdai had been far from positive. She worried that Lin Zhirou might do something to harm Qu Qingdai, but she couldn't leave rashly. She could only sit there anxiously, her heart racing like countless ants.
After a while, Lin Zhirou finally left. Qin Yunie could no longer suppress her inner urge and hurried to Qu Qingdai's tent. She looked at Qu Qingdai nervously and said, "Daidai, why did Lin Zhirou look for you? Is she planning to do something bad again?"
Qu Qingdai smiled slightly and said, "No, you misunderstood her. She came to apologize."
"Apologize? What are you apologizing for?" Qin Yunie frowned even tighter, his eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
"For their attitude and behavior towards me in the previous show." Qu Qingdai explained patiently.
"Tsk, what a hindsight! Why didn't you do that before?" Qin Yunie curled his lips in disdain, his mouth pouting high, his face full of dissatisfaction and anger.
"Okay, I don't mind. Don't be angry. Just participate in this variety show well." Qu Qingdai gently comforted Qin Yunie.
"Okay... then I'll rest here with you now!" Qin Yunie said reluctantly.
"Okay~" Qu Qingdai said lovingly, reaching out to touch Qin Yunie's head.
Although Qu Qingdai was somewhat puzzled as to why Qin Yunie was so close to her, she could truly feel Qin Yunie's care and love for her. This feeling of closeness made her feel as if she had gained a caring little sister, and she enjoyed it very much. She cherished every moment with Qin Yunie and cherished this rare friendship.

In a blink of an eye, the clock struck two o'clock, and both teams were fully prepared and ready to go in high spirits.
"Then let's each head towards different hills!" Tan Changqing said loudly, his voice full of determination and confidence.
"Okay, everyone must be careful!" Qu Qingdai warned solemnly.
"Okay, come on! We can do it!"
"come on!"
Afterwards, the two teams took firm steps towards the opposite sides. They were about to engage in a fierce battle for food with the defenders. This battle concerned their dinner, and they were ready to go all out.
"Daidai, what should we do next?" Qin Yunie asked anxiously, her brows tightly furrowed, her eyes full of confusion and worry.
By this time, they had reached the mountainside. The three of them crouched cautiously in the grass, their heads adorned with handmade grass wreaths, trying to blend in with their surroundings. Hidden in the dense undergrowth, they nervously watched the guards patrolling the trail.
They had never imagined encountering these guardians halfway up the mountain. They'd assumed they'd only encounter them at the summit, but reality had given them a surprising surprise. As expected, free food isn't easy to come by. The appearance of these guardians made their once confident plans even more challenging.
"Alas, it seems the main road is blocked." Qu Qingdai frowned slightly, carefully observing the patrol route of the guards and said helplessly, "They are patrolling back and forth on the road we must pass through with full vigilance. We have no choice but to find another way and go around the mountain."
"If we don't take the main road, wouldn't it be a long way to go around? Will we have enough time?" Lin Zhirou bit her lower lip lightly and expressed her concerns in a soft voice.
"Let me see, um..." Qu Qingdai raised her wrist and looked at her watch intently. "Twenty minutes have already passed. We are indeed a bit slow in walking here. If we speed up, we may still make it in time. But we know nothing about the situation on the top of the mountain, nor do we know how many guards there are. If there are too many people, it may take a lot of time to get the food."
"Indeed, time is really running out." Qin Yunie's face was full of worry, and he continued anxiously, "But if we are exposed now, we will be detained for another ten minutes. In that case, I'm afraid we will be even less likely to escape in time."
"Then let's take a detour to avoid these guards, and then speed up to go up the mountain. This is the best strategy." Qu Qingdai said solemnly after thinking for a moment.
"Okay, let's decide it this way. Let's take action quickly." Qin Yunie nodded in agreement, with a determined look on his face.
"Yeah!" Lin Zhirou also nodded in response.
Qu Qingdai lowered her body, her eyes fixed on the patrolling guards. Her brows furrowed slightly, her expression focused and tense. She gently gestured to Qin Yunie and Lin Zhirou, signaling them to follow her closely.
