[I feel like he did it on purpose, wanting to eat all the instant noodles by himself. I never expected him to be this kind of person. First, he played the emotional card with Brother Xie, saying he'd give the instant noodles to the two siblings, and then he took advantage of their kindness to get a bowl of noodles for himself. How cunning!]
[Who is this scheming person upstairs? If he wanted instant noodles, he could have just shared one with Xie Yingdi from the start, why go through all this trouble?]
[I almost got caught up in this, thank goodness I woke up. Some people really know how to stir up trouble.]
[Who knows what he's thinking? What if he wants to be a good person but also wants to eat instant noodles?]
The comments section was filled with heated arguments, but they were evenly matched. In the end, Shen Hua was still criticized, and because Xie Sichen had so many fans, Shen Hua's criticism immediately went viral and became a trending topic.
Many onlookers, drawn by the stench, flocked in, and then, amidst the murmur of the majority and the minority, they began to speculate about the truth of the matter, seemingly oblivious to the purpose of their actions.
However, they still had a very pleasant conversation, snacking on sunflower seeds while watching, especially since the two main characters were still so good-looking.
[Wow! So handsome, absolutely gorgeous from every angle!]
[Wait, why does that guy with the cold face look familiar? Have I seen him in some role before? Or is he one of those roles that I remember vividly?]
[What you said above does seem familiar, but I just can't quite place it.]
[That's our Brother Xie, the movie star Xie. I can't believe there are people who don't recognize him and are just pretending to be familiar with him.]
[Oh, I remember now! Isn't that the male lead from that really popular movie I saw a few years ago? He played a schizophrenic character, and I almost thought they were two different people—his eyes! Thinking about it now still gives me chills, but it was really good.]
[It's him, it's him, that legendary figure! I thought he'd retired from the entertainment industry, but he's back! Will he still be acting in movies? If he is, I'll definitely go see it.]
The provincial department had already decided to eat, so he devoured his instant noodles, even drinking the broth – it was unbelievable! When the five younger students came out, they noticed the broth was gone. He had initially thought that if the older boy didn't drink it, he would secretly drink it for him.
Maybe I came out too late, because the young man had already poured out the soup and thrown the trash over there. I felt a little heartbroken, because the soup tasted so good, and he had been savoring it for a long time.
His older sister also loves to eat it, and he secretly made a small goal in his heart to make sure she could eat it every day from now on.
...
Xia Xue and Zhang Lele arrived at the village chief's house and met the village chief and his family. The village chief was very kind and extended a warm invitation to them, including to dinner that evening.
However, they had already eaten, so how could they possibly compete with the village chief's family for food? The village chief's family had quite a few children, but they were all rather thin, probably because they didn't eat enough.
The village chief's wife was very gentle and arranged a place for them to stay. Although it was a bit simple, it was very clean, so they didn't complain. The two of them could sleep in one bed. However, the village chief had prepared two beds. He probably hadn't thought that the two of them were women when he first prepared the place, so there was an extra bed. They could each sleep in one bed.
The two weren't that close yet, so they decided to each sleep in their own bed, with enough space to fit their luggage.
They got up very early the next day because Director Feng had previously mentioned the importance of time. They needed to arrive at the location designated by Director Feng at 7:00 AM to receive their tasks for the day so that they would have food to eat.
This was also material for the live stream. When the two arrived at the location, they saw that Shen Hua and the others had already received the tasks they needed to complete.
The tasks were decided by drawing lots. The two of them hadn't arrived very late, so they went up to draw lots and then walked over to Chen Hua to check the tasks together.
They were assigned to go up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots, and they had to dig two baskets of bamboo shoots in order to exchange for two bowls of noodles, four buckets of instant noodles, or six steamed buns and one baozi. It depended on how the group of people chose. In the afternoon, each team had to help the villagers and then exchange the vegetables grown by the villagers for their food.
As you can imagine, this task was very difficult, because the villagers were all living in hardship and no one was generous enough to give away their own vegetables when they were starving.
Although the produce was earned through labor, the villagers were all capable and didn't want to waste their own vegetables by asking others for help.
This task also subconsciously tells them that they should save some of the food they earn from completing tasks in the morning to eat in the evening.
If they choose two bowls of noodles, they can only eat them at noon. If they choose instant noodles, they can eat them at noon and in the evening. If they choose steamed buns, they will have to eat them for even longer. However, dry steamed buns are really hard to swallow for those who are used to eating delicacies.
"Xiao Shenhua, we drew the bamboo shoot picking prize, what about you?"
Xia Xue first spread out their notes for Sun Chenhua to see before asking her questions.
Shen Hua also unfolded their notes and showed them to the two of them.
The notice said to go up the mountain and catch fifty small insects. As soon as Xia Xue and Zhang Lele saw the words "small insects," they were so frightened that they shuddered.
Director Feng is really shameless, even releasing tasks like this. Those are insects! They're one of the things they fear most. I can't believe this is a task. I can't even imagine how they'd react if they drew one.
Thankfully, their task was relatively normal. Although picking bamboo shoots was difficult, at least it wasn't too scary.
The others also drew lots one after another, and judging from their worried faces, it was clear that their tasks were not so simple either.
"Director Feng, what's the meaning of this grass? Why do we have to cut so much? Isn't this going to kill people? Is this a task or torture?" someone couldn't help but complain.
"What's that compared to what I've got? This task is to clean the pigsty, which is incredibly smelly. I refused to eat yesterday to avoid cleaning the pigsty, and now I've been given this stupid task. Whoever wants to do this task can do it."
These people want to throw away the notes and then go to Director Feng to reason with him. This isn't a variety show! They should just say they were sent down here for a reason.
Director Feng's survival instinct was quite strong, and he quickly said, "Actually, you don't have to do the mission, but if you want to eat, you'll have to find it yourselves. There are plenty of food here, backed by mountains, but you'll have to rely on your own hands to make it."
