Chapter 36: Blazing Sun



Xu Yan didn't answer for a moment, but he had some conditioned reflexes when facing the camera. If the camera is facing you and you don't speak for a long time, it can be considered an "accident", so he opened his mouth and squeezed out a word, "I..."

"He wants to be in the same group with me." Liang Yisheng rushed in front of Xu Yan and said.

Xu Yan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Jiayi immediately patted the sofa, "You see, he must be afraid that Xu Yan doesn't want to be in the same group with him, so he won't let him say it himself. You still won't let me be in the same group with Xu Yan, I want to be in the same group with Xu Yan!"

The camera couldn't capture him, so Liang Yisheng blocked his hand and rubbed Xu Yan's arm lightly. Xu Yan glanced at the wheat covering his collar and whispered "Relax".

Zhuo Lu was laughing beside him, and Liu Jiayi was still teasing, "Xu Yan should be fed up with Xiao Liang. Don't worry, just say it boldly. My sister is right next to you. What can Liang Yisheng do to you? Say you want to be in a group with my sister."

The atmosphere was relaxed, and no one cared that Xu Yan had just been silent in front of the camera for a few seconds. Xu Yan forced out a decent smile, and reached out to take a pillow from the side to cover his face. The white pillow matched the clothes he was wearing today, so that he could have some time to adjust his expression. The camera was blocked by the pillow in front of him, and Liang Yisheng leaned over and moved behind the pillow. Their faces could not be seen in the camera, but Liang Yisheng's voice could be heard in the microphone.

The voice with laughter sounded like a threat, "Teacher Xu Yan, who do you want to be in a group with? Look into my eyes and tell me."

He was close, Xu Yan took a breath and gently put a corner of the pillow against his face, "Don't..."

Liang Yisheng looked at him. He was obviously smiling, but Xu Yan inexplicably felt that he asked this question very seriously, as if he was not asking about the team, as if he was not the only one who suffered from insomnia in the past two months, who dared not pick up the phone to check his recent situation, who was afraid that she would not be able to help missing him, and would rather not be Xu Yan and want to kiss him again.

The pillow was backlit, and the two people were very close.

Liang Yisheng asked him, "Don't you want me anymore?"

Xu Yan opened his mouth and his nose was sore. Although this person was right in front of him, he missed him so much. He replied softly: "How could I not want you."

"Alright, alright, I've given up my rights, isn't that enough? Director, if you don't care, can your show still be broadcast? What are you doing behind the pillow? And you're still on the show." Liu Jiayi reported that Liang Yisheng had taken unconventional means to seduce her future partner Xu Yan. The director team stopped it in time and shouted with a loudspeaker: "Please be mindful of the degree of interaction between the guests." Amidst

laughter and a "fierce" competition, the final teams were Liang Yisheng and Xu Yan, Liu Jiayi and Hou Kaian. Zhuo Lu could only wait to unlock the guests to help in this episode.

The focus of the filming was still in the forest. There was enough opening material. The director waved and moved to the forest. After walking for about ten minutes, they saw the wooden house they built in the first three episodes. It was a bald prototype. It would definitely be completed this week. The next guests could move in directly without building a house.

Zhuo Lu was the main guest of Green Oxygen. He usually led the topic and cue the process. When several people stood in front of the wooden house, he turned to look at Liang Yisheng and Xu Yan, "You came at an untimely time. If you come next time, you won't have to do the hard labor."

Liang Yisheng raised his eyebrows, "Next time I will definitely do my homework."

Except for the PD who followed each person, the director's team all withdrew and set up the camera far away. The director team first announced the first team mission. After completing this team mission, the supporting guests can be unlocked.

Zhuo Lu, as the only person left alone, stepped forward to get the mission card and read the content.

"Prepare a welcoming dinner that completely suits the taste of the flying guests, without allowing them to reveal their tastes."

Liu Jiayi clapped her hands immediately, "This mission is too easy, director, are you deliberately giving Zhuo Lu a break to unlock the supporting guests? There is no need for the flying guests to reveal it. How could Xu Yan not know his taste?"

Zhuo Lu had a "survived" expression on his face, "Sister, you can't stop others from having teammates just because you have teammates." He looked at Xu Yan and said, "Xu Yan Can you cook?"

Xu Yan shook his head, "I can only do the simplest ones, I can't say I can cook."

Zhuo Lu said, "It's okay, Brother Hou is a good cook, you just need to be in charge of the tactical guidance, I'll rely on you."

Xu Yan had taken extra classes before coming here, so he had some understanding of the ingredients here. Seeing that Zhuo Lu had the mentality of "the teammates are stable", he said, "Brother Zhuo, I've watched the previous show, is our main ingredient now eggs? Liang Yisheng doesn't like eggs very much."

"It's okay, you can change to instant noodles, which are cheaper than eggs. Which taste does he like, spicy beef or Laotan pickled cabbage?" Liu Jiayi came over and asked.

Xu Yan answered seriously, "It seems that he doesn't like sour food, how about spicy beef?"

After clarifying the task, it was the daily stage of building the house. Last week, there was not enough time, so they temporarily laid all the wood on the roof. The outline of the house was already there, but the roof was not fixed yet.

They assigned tasks by themselves. Working on the roof is more dangerous, and it definitely requires young and strong people with long arms and legs. Liu Jiayi and Hou Kaian are definitely not suitable. Xu Yan is not qualified to work on the roof because of his height.

Liang Yisheng was wearing a shirt with sleeves that reached his forearms. He had already started to roll up his sleeves, and rolled up the half-length sleeves to his upper arms. "Let me do it. Can I come here for nothing?"

Zhuo Lu did not compete with him. There must be a lot of shots on the roof. It is reasonable to give the flying guest the job voluntarily and under the premise of ensuring safety. So he arranged Xu Yan's task as well. "Then Xiao Xu, you go with Teacher Liang and help him pass things down and hold the ladder. Be sure to pay attention to safety."

"Brother Hou and I are going to collect firewood. It may be a bit hard today so that we can exchange it for a piece of meat for dinner. Sister Yi, can you weave a straw mat? We can hang it outside the door when the time comes."

Before Xu Yan could say anything, everyone had already clapped and dispersed. It felt like everyone had something to do, except himself who was a "supervisor."

"Come on up, Teacher Xu." Liang Yisheng glanced at the height of the house and called Xu Yan.

"Hey, I'm coming." Xu Yan hurried over to help him set up the ladder.

The height of the wooden house is about two and a half meters, and the thickness of the wooden board is about three centimeters. They were exchanged with the program crew in a one-to-one ratio after cutting down trees. After all, they really want to live there, so safety still needs to be guaranteed.

Xu Yan held the ladder and Liang Yisheng climbed up easily. He wore a pair of black sports pants and a shirt made of soft material that didn't restrict his movements too much. Seeing Liang Yisheng sitting on the top, Xu Yan was startled, "Hey, Mr. Liang, there are no nails, please be careful."

Zhuo Lu took out the electric drill and handed it to Xu Yan. Xu Yan climbed up two steps of the ladder and stretched out his arm to Liang Yisheng. Liang Yisheng raised his eyebrows, "I thought he was going to hit it with a hammer."

Zhuo Lu heard him complaining from below and smiled and replied, "How is it possible? We are a slow variety show, there is no such exaggerated physical work."

It is nearly three meters high, and it is now nearly half past ten.

When Xu Yan handed him the electric drill, he tilted his head back and was blinded by the sunlight. Liang Yisheng grabbed his wrist and asked, "Are you afraid of heights?"

Xu Yan was confused and shook his head.

Liang Yisheng asked him, "Come up and take a look? Can you see the tree?"

Xu Yan used one hand to block the strong sunlight. Through the gaps between his five fingers, he could see that the hair on Liang Yisheng's forehead was wet with sweat. It was almost noon in the summer in the south. Although it was very sunny and hot in the forest, even Xu Yan was sweating a lot.

But he didn't know what moved him, and he actually agreed. Xu Yan was not afraid of heights, but he was a little worried whether this wooden house could withstand the weight of two adult men. As soon as he climbed up and carefully held the crossbeam on the roof, Liang Yisheng laughed and gave him an arm to help him stand steadily.

It was sunny, especially sunny, but there was a kind of refreshing, open and spacious feeling.

Xu Yan looked around. Although this height was still far from exceeding the treetops, looking out from the dense tree trunks, it was like looking at a brown sea.

"Turn off the microphone." Liang Yisheng said.

"Huh?" Xu Yan turned his head and glanced at the PD who was following them. Normally, the two of them should climb up to the roof and the PD would follow them up, but the roof obviously couldn't bear the weight of four people, so they were trying to put a camera on the roof, and the camera position had not been set yet.

Xu Yan reached out and turned off the microphone at his collar.

Liang Yisheng ignored the camera and started working even when no one was filming him. The electric drill wire was hanging long, and he swung it, asking Xu Yan to go over there to avoid getting caught in the wire. The muscles of the arm holding the electric drill rippled, and after a noise, a screw was driven in.

"Did Zhuo Lu find the acting teacher for you?"

Xu Yan held a handful of screws in his hand and handed one to Liang Yisheng. He didn't ask Liang Yisheng how he knew he was studying acting, and how he knew the acting teacher was Zhuo Lu's teacher. He answered in a low voice: "Yeah."

"Are you familiar with him?"

"Not very familiar."

Liang Yisheng never looked at him. After Xu Yan finished answering, he pressed the switch and drilled in the second screw. There was a buzzing noise.

"I remember you said that you would not develop relationships with other people during the contract period." He said.

Xu Yan handed him the next screw in silence. Liang Yisheng didn't reach out to take it, but looked at Xu Yan's face, "Am I parachuting in to disturb you?"

"What?" Xu Yan didn't understand.

"If you want to be with Zhuo Lu, or someone else, that Guo Hewei, you can tell me directly. But Guo Hewei is not a good person, you'd better not be fooled by him." Liang Yisheng said.

"Why are you telling me all this?" Xu Yan looked straight into his eyes under the scorching sun, "Do you think it's embarrassing for me to be with Guo Hewei after breaking up with you?"

Liang Yisheng didn't say anything.

The PD behind them had already set up the camera and greeted them, asking them to be careful not to bump into the machine.

But no one paid attention to the PD.

Under the scorching sun, Xu Yan asked, "Then why did you come today? Just to warn me about these?"

It's almost the New Year!
