Chapter 21



On the third day of the National Day holiday, the recording of Seven Days and Seven Nights of Wilderness Survival finally began amid the arguments and expectations of fans.

The second episode, survival on a deserted island.

Early in the morning, Li Changsi took an early flight with his suitcase to the gathering place, met up with all the guests, and then took a special plane chartered by the program crew to the destination, the deserted island.

Jingcheng is the farthest from the gathering place. Li Changsi set out early in the morning and arrived at noon. When he got off the plane and turned on his mobile phone, he was almost overwhelmed by messages.

There are 99+ group messages and dozens of private messages.

In order to avoid any emergencies, she added Wei Zhenxi as a friend last night, and at the same time added all those who had previously applied to add her as a friend, a total of more than a dozen people.

Wei Zhenxi added friends last night and suddenly there was no movement.

Rong Shu: The crew members are all in the China Southern Airlines VIP lounge on the second floor, near Gate 26.

Tian Ye: Sisisisisi~, you finally added me as your friend. By the way, did you add Brother Zhuo as your friend? This time, I need your help on this deserted island survival quest!

Lin Lushen: Sister, are you here yet? Have you seen Dr. Wei? I won't be arriving until 11:00 PM, so please take some photos of Dr. Wei. (starry eyes)

Bai Zhuo: Grandpa said that the Chinese Chess Institute will hold an additional Go ranking tournament next month. Your level is enough to be directly ranked. If you want to participate, tell me and I will arrange everything else.

Wei Zhenxi: I bet you couldn't sleep well after adding me as your friend last night because I was so handsome! Don't worry, I'll be standing right in front of you today, so you can watch me for free!

Li Changsi: “???”

It’s confirmed, this is either a scumbag or a loser!

Li Changsi glanced at the group message and found a strange WeChat user. They passed the verification together yesterday. The other party's avatar was the most primitive system avatar, and the WeChat name was Lu Qi.

The Moments are always overgrown with weeds. Lu Qi doesn't seem like someone who likes to use WeChat.

Li Changsi lowered his eyes, put away his phone, changed trains at the airport, and walked towards Gate 26.

Most of the guests had arrived, especially Tian Ye, who drove directly to the airport early in the morning because it was nearby. He chatted enthusiastically with Xuan Yiyi in the group. On the contrary, Wei Zhenxi, who posted diving photos as soon as she joined the group, didn't say much.

Song Xingyue only speaks when Bai Zhuo appears. The group consists of ten guests and a director, and the relationships are complicated.

When Li Changsi entered the VIP lounge of China Southern Airlines, he saw that all the crew members were there. Bai Zhuo and Song Xingyue were also there, standing by the coffee machine chatting. Xuan Yiyi, who was wearing a white dress and had long hair down to her waist, was standing next to them.

"Changsi, here." Tian Ye waved, striding over with his long legs to help her carry the luggage, winking at her, "See, Xuan Yiyi, the little princess of the capital circle, is said to be a family friend of Zhuo Ge's family, a top wealthy family. She was simply the white moonlight goddess of our school days."

After Tian Ye finished speaking, she noticed that she looked a little different today. During the first recording, Li Changsi mostly wore windbreakers, sportswear, and white T-shirts. They were all old clothes that she had pulled out from somewhere, and they were only supported by her face.

Today she was wearing a dress, revealing a pair of long, straight legs. Her facial features were delicate and flawless, and her big ebony eyes made people's heart beat faster.

Wow, after not seeing you for half a month, Li Changsi has become more beautiful!

Xuan Yiyi, the pure and innocent goddess of white moonlight, was instantly rendered dull and insipid by her.

"Changsi, you look so beautiful today. This dress is from D's new spring/summer collection, right?" Song Xingyue walked over and looked at the simple, elegant dress she was wearing. D's dresses were very selective because of their bold colors. To pull off that stunning look, one needed a slim waist, long legs, and a strong aura.

Li Changsi is very suitable!

Song Xingyue looked at Li Changsi, who was the most beautiful woman in the whole audience, and then glanced at Xuan Yiyi, who couldn't help but smile. She felt inexplicably relieved.

She had never been fond of Li Changsi before, but compared to Xuan Yiyi, a white lotus who relied on her father for support, she inexplicably found Li Changsi much more pleasing to the eye.

At least Li Changsi is not coquettish or pretentious. Although he is aloof, he is not fake. Unlike Xuan Yiyi, who relied on her old friendship with the Bai family to chase her to the variety show.

"It suits you very well." Bai Zhuo nodded, his eyes fell on her, unable to look away for a moment.

Li Changsi nodded coldly. This dress was a trophy that Qiubi got when he used her 1.2 million black card. She couldn't not wear it after buying it.

"Hello, Teacher Li, I'm Xuan Yiyi. Please take care of me in the future." Xuan Yiyi smiled innocently at Li Changsi.

"Hello, I'm Li Changsi, welcome aboard."

Their eyes met, and they smiled and looked away. What a white lotus (green tea bitch), just like her scheming sisters in the wealthy family (imperial palace).

Xuan Yiyi felt contempt in her heart. This world is ruled by the law of the jungle. A woman like Li Changsi, who has no background, is ambitious, and tries to cross the social class and marry into a wealthy family by relying on her beauty, will only die a miserable death.

But it doesn’t matter. She has been pursuing Brother Bai Zhuo for three years, but he is indifferent to her. She is just a dish.

Li Changsi is not a threat, the most important thing is Song Xingyue.

She watched the last episode of the variety show. Brother Bai Zhuo teamed up with Song Xingyue from beginning to end and took good care of her. She also heard that the two had a close relationship when they worked together on a drama before.

Her opponent is Song Xingyue.

"Dear teachers, the camera from the live broadcast room is about to cut over." The assistant director ran over with a smile to remind them, followed by the PD who was filming behind him.

Since this time they were going to the deserted island by chartered flight, the program crew and guests departed on the same day. The live broadcast from the airport could only start after the program crew landed. At the beginning, they were filming the food in the China Southern Airlines VIP lounge. The fans waited for a whole morning, and when they saw the program crew filming the food, they almost vomited blood and angrily rushed to the official blog.

—Is this the show you're recording about a foodie? I want to see the little sister, I want to see the brother!!!

——If you don’t punish him for three days, he will tear off the tiles on the roof!

—I waited all morning, and this is what I get? I called you a dog, and you really acted like a dog.

The official Weibo account couldn’t handle it anymore and had to switch cameras.

The camera turned over and the barrage of comments turned pages instantly.

——Fuck, Li Changsi’s beauty is so powerful, I’m gone, I’m gone, I’m gone…

——The director team has cleared the name, Li Changsi is crying! I want the link to her skirt in one minute!

——Is it a pretty dress I lack? What I lack is a gorgeous face!

——Yiyi, Yiyi is the most beautiful! The eternal white moonlight goddess!

The barrage was occupied by the water army.

Fans are going crazy. Where did Xuan Yiyi get all those fans? They're definitely paid ad bots. A year after debuting, Xuan Yiyi brought in funding to film a major production, only to be utterly awful. Even veteran actors couldn't carry her, and she's become a laughing stock in the industry.

This time, she squeezed out countless A- and B-tier actresses to join the variety show, and she also dominated the press coverage with her stunning appearance? What's going on?

Is she siding with Li Changsi? Back when Li Changsi's online trolls were at their most rampant, they never dared to defame her looks. So, she hired some online influencers to hype her up. Hahahaha, she thinks everyone else is blind.

The barrage is full of question marks except for the awkward praise from the internet trolls.

Fortunately, the new male guest, Wei Zhenxi, arrived. In the camera, the surgeon, wearing trousers and a floral shirt, with a narrow waist and long legs, and a handsome smile, burst into the live broadcast room and instantly won the hearts of a number of female fans.

"I'm sorry, I had to take on a surgery before leaving, which delayed me." Wei Zhenxi stood gracefully, his eyes fixed on Li Changsi, and his smile deepened. "Sisi, you have an early flight, so you probably haven't had lunch yet. I brought you a freshly cooked lunch."

Wei Zhenxi snapped her fingers, and the butler behind her came over pushing an exquisite cart.

Li Changsi: "..."

The guests were stunned, and fans in the live broadcast room screamed "Wow".

Is this dog variety show so intense? They have a way with their show effects. It was a blast the moment it came on. The male guest next to them was completely stunned.

——Oh my god, you are so handsome, Dr. Wei!

——He has a really good figure. He looks thin when dressed and has muscles when undressed. If the doctors here were so handsome, I would be willing to stay in the hospital every day.

——Fuck, this damn Mary Sue script, woohoo, I don’t want to ship it either, but he’s a domineering CEO character.

"By the way, I brought small gifts for everyone." Wei Zhenxi took out a snack wrapped in a small pink gift box and said with a smile, "Our chef made these snacks. This box is for Sisi. She doesn't like sweets, so it's light on the sugar."

Li Changsi couldn't hold it any longer.

The first one who couldn't hold back was Xuan Yiyi.

Xuan Yiyi smiled innocently and said, "Brother Zhenxi, did you come here by private jet? If I had known earlier, I would have taken a ride on your private plane."

Haha, Xuan Yiyi sneered in her heart. The Wei family is a famous family in Jingcheng that is no less than the Bai family. Wei Zhenxi is the only designated heir of the Wei family. Telling them means that she hopes they will all pursue Wei Zhenxi and not compete with her for brother Bai Zhuo.

The male guests’ faces became even darker, and the live broadcast room was filled with comments like “Cao Cao Cao”.

"Do you know each other?" Li Changsi looked at Xuan Yiyi.

Bai Zhuo nodded solemnly, "Dr. Wei is very well-known in the industry, it's hard not to know him. He and my brother are from the same class, so he's my senior."

Xuan Yiyi nodded: "Brother Zhenxi, I was surprised that you were going to be on the variety show. But with you, we feel much more at ease. We will definitely return safely from this deserted island survival."

The other guests who were treated as background boards felt like they were screwed. Oh my god, they were all acquaintances. What a coincidence. They were all from top wealthy families. Xuan Yiyi could be said to have come here to chase Bai Zhuo. What was Wei Zhenxi here for?

Are surgeons really that idle? Are wealthy heirs really that idle?

Crack!!

"Brother Zhenxi, do you know Teacher Li?"

The guests all looked at Li Changsi and Wei Zhenxi.

In the live broadcast room, fans pricked up their ears and their gossip spirits burned.

——Ahhh, a private jet for lunch, specially prepared desserts, and a domineering doctor sending love, who can resist this? I’m going to climb the wall, woooo.

——Dr. Wei and Li Changsi are wearing couple outfits. The shirts and skirts seem to be the new spring and summer styles from D. They are a perfect match!

Rong Shu → Li Changsi, Bai Zhuo → Li Changsi, Wei Zhenxi → Li Changsi, three men competing for one woman, this is a top-tier Shura battlefield. What's the point of filming a wilderness survival show? Just swap the skins and let the romance variety show become a god!

—Is the person above not smart? Can you understand why Rong Shu and Wei Zhenxi like Li Changsi? You say Brother Zhuo likes Li Changsi? This is probably the biggest joke in the world. No matter who Brother likes, he can never like Li Changsi!

——Brother Zhuo hates Li Changsi the most. He smiles at Li Changsi because of his excellent upbringing! I beg Li Changsi to stop sucking my brother's blood.

——Stop arguing, the girl is beautiful alone, and she is focused on studying!

——Tsk, just sit there and wait for Li Changsi’s character to collapse!

The live broadcast room was filled with noise. In the VIP lounge of China Southern Airlines, Li Changsi looked around at the gazes in all directions and said coldly, "I'm not familiar with him."

No, not familiar? Is that such a frivolous explanation? Can someone send a loving lunch, custom desserts, and even wear matching outfits if they're not familiar?

Wei Zhenxi narrowed her charming phoenix eyes and smiled considerately, "Teacher Li said she's not familiar with him, so she's not familiar with him. I have no objection."

Damn, this guy is such a dog!

The live broadcast room barrage went crazy again. The variety show hadn't even officially started recording yet, but the traffic was clearly being harvested.

#李长思蔚振溪说不熟亲#, #Is Seven Days and Seven Nights a dating variety show#, the hot searches have started to soar like a rocket.

When Zhao Ming received the news, he almost doubted his ears, and then his face was crooked with smiles.

Li Changsi’s 4 million signing is totally worth it!

Wei Zhenxi's arrival has fueled the "Seven Days Seven Days" craze. Online, some netizens quickly dug up Wei Zhenxi's impressive resume. He's the youngest attending surgeon in China, known for his ability to fight death on the operating table. He's performed countless difficult surgeries, earning him a national and international reputation.

The names of Wei Zhenxi and Li Changsi remained on the hot search list for another day, and they were the talk of the town.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Lushen, Meng Xun and Ran Lin arrived at the airport one after another. The three of them didn't know about the live broadcast room yet. They just thought Dr. Wei was so handsome. Oh, the male guests didn't seem to welcome Dr. Wei very much. Oh, and then Dr. Wei's eyes when he looked at Li Changsi were intriguing.

"Sister, why does Wei Zhenxi keep looking at you?" As the group boarded a special plane and departed for their destination, a deserted island, Lin Lushen quietly tugged at Li Changsi and pouted, "Isn't he getting aroused by your beauty?"

"It could also be that I owed him money before."

Li Changsi pondered for a few seconds before offering another idea. She truly couldn't recall how she and Wei Zhenxi met. The original owner's memories were like a locked door, unlocked only by touching a specific point.

For example, the last time the mother in the original book called her, she unlocked her life story.

Let's take it one step at a time.

"Sister, you can tell jokes now, hahaha, very funny." Lin Lu smiled with her eyes curved. The first time she met Li Changsi, she thought this young lady was so beautiful and cold, and her whole body exuded an indifference that kept strangers away. Later, after getting to know each other, she found that Li Changsi was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

Li Changsi reached out and touched her wool curls, then got on the plane with her.

The flight from Shenzhen to the deserted island takes 1 hour.

After the guests and program staff boarded the plane, Zhao Ming gave each person a task card.

"Welcome everyone to participate in the second episode of wilderness survival recording. This time we will fly to an uninhabited island for a seven-day survival activity." Zhao Ming read the task card with a smile.

"First of all, we welcome our two new guests, Xuan Yiyi and Wei Zhenxi. I believe that in the next seven days, everyone will get to know each other more deeply. Now, let me explain the rules of survival on this deserted island.

This time, we will distribute relief supplies for three days, but we will no longer be sending out food packs. All guests must be self-sufficient during these seven days. If you can’t hold on, you can use flares to give up."

Before Zhao Ming finished speaking, the guests wailed. "Oh my god, this is hell mode. They only have three days of relief supplies? And they must be super disgusting compressed biscuits!"

Are the remaining four days a preparation for becoming an immortal?

Many plants on an undeveloped desert island are not edible. And who knows what is on the desert island.

Zhao Ming narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Don't panic, everyone. Although there are no supply packs, everyone can use their expertise to obtain food. This time we will set up a safe house somewhere on the deserted island with plenty of food and water.

The guest who finds the safe house will win the second grand prize of Desert Island Survival, which is the Asia-Pacific endorsement of brand C perfume, starting at 5 million.

C perfume is a niche salon fragrance, known as the new star in the perfume industry. Although it is not as long-standing as the old perfume brands, their perfumes have a kind of fascinating charm. The classic woody fragrance is also called the fragrance of life because you can't quit it once you spray it.

Although the endorsement fee is not high, it is very prestigious! It has a wide influence, and most importantly, her company can customize a unique and exclusive scent with the perfumer.

It's like creating your own perfume.

All the female guests were moved.

Zhao Ming smiled and said, "And we've added a new gameplay this time. Among the ten guests, eight have no identity cards, one is a spy, and one is a werewolf. The spy can choose to ally with either side, and the good player with no identity needs to find out the werewolf's identity and mission, otherwise they will fail. The werewolf needs to complete a special mission to win, otherwise it will fail.

Spies win or lose based on which side they join."

Wow, they're still playing Infernal Affairs? This completely shattered the guests' camps, and everyone started to feel insecure.

—Hmm, this episode of Wilderness Survival is a bit exciting. Who's the werewolf? Who's the spy? It's time to test your IQ!

—Wow, playing wilderness survival is enough to consume your physical strength, but now it’s testing your IQ? This is going to kill people with low IQs, haha, our Tian Xiaoye is in danger!

——Hahahaha, I’m starting to look forward to it!

——A dog variety show, very entertaining, I feel sorry for the guests, Sibao, go for it!

——Brother Zhuo, go ahead and crush them!

The livestream was buzzing with comments. On the plane, the guests all wore blank expressions. So, this time, they not only had to solve the food problem and find a safe house, but also transform into Detective Conan and hunt down the werewolf and the traitor? I'm not sure if I should say "MMP" or not.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the special plane arrived at the nearby small airport, and everyone took a boat to the deserted island. Soon, a lush island appeared in everyone's sight in the endless deep blue sea. The island had white beaches, shady trees, steep rocks, and the sea water beat against the reefs. The years were indescribably peaceful.

The program crew moved down all the recording equipment and survival supplies, including pots and pans, drinking water, a large amount of adventure equipment, etc. Finally, they also transported down two RVs and even brought enough solar power generation equipment. The entire beach was illuminated as bright as day.

The live broadcast uses satellite broadcast, which is very impressive.

——Oh, the deserted island is so beautiful, I love it.

——To be honest, although the production team is a bunch of idiots, they are really arrogant! They are the first in satellite live broadcasting, right?

——Rumor has it that all the equipment for this deserted island survival mission was sponsored by Pineapple TV. The deserted island was also rented, and the satellite was naturally rented as well. The renting party is the real tycoon.

——Is this true? Isn’t this a thousand times more domineering than the domineering CEO novels?

——Hahaha, I beg you, science popularizer dad, I hope my daughter has fun on the deserted island.

——With so much sponsorship, why don’t you advertise? I’ll definitely do it!

——My blind guess is that it’s high-tech, but I probably can’t afford it~

The program crew set up camp on the spot, the staff all lived in tents, and the guests lived in RVs. It was already nightfall by the time they settled in.

As usual, there is a bonfire party, roasted whole lamb and beer in the evening.

The next seven days will be even harder, so the guests ate to their heart's content. After receiving the supply package, Li Changsi returned to the RV to rest, while Tian Ye and others were still happily eating fried chicken, drinking beer and playing games.

She lay on the bed in the RV, looking at the stars in the sky outside, trying to find the familiar Taiwei Star. However, the stars fell, the people died, and everything was gone.

She closed her eyes listlessly and fell into a deep sleep with the starry sky as her pillow. In her dream, she seemed to have returned to her childhood.

The first time her husband took her to Guoyun Mountain, she was so happy that she couldn't sleep at night, afraid that everything would be a dream when she woke up. After waking up, she was still sitting by the dry well in the cold palace, eating stale steamed buns, listening to those crazy women singing about their unfaithful lover word by word.

She climbed out of bed, ran to her husband's door, and held her chin to guard the door so that her husband would not run away.

The night on Lonely Cloud Mountain was very cold. She felt sleepy after a while. The door opened, and a faint warm wood fragrance hit her. She was picked up.

The gentleman took off his warm cloak, wrapped her up like a furry snowball, and sat with her on the porch, looking at the stars in the sky.

"That's Ziwei, the Emperor Star. If Changsi gets lost, just look for the brightest star in the sky."

"Can I be the brightest star?" Her young ambition began to sprout. She wanted to be the brightest star, and that would make her husband very proud.

The gentleman smiled gently, touched her furry little head, and said nothing.

"Sir, you are the star."

"Taiwei." He pointed to the star that was slightly dimmer than Ziwei Star, emitting a faint golden light.

"Taiwei is pretty." She smiled with a crescent eye and pulled his sleeve. "Changsi, can I know your name, sir?"

"Lan Jingxing. Look up to me, my friend."

Buzz buzz buzz—the sound of a cell phone ringing shattered her dreams. Li Changsi woke up with a start. She reached for her phone and saw it was already six in the morning. The production team had sent out ID badge information. She checked her ID badge and got up.

The recording of deserted island survival has officially begun.
