Nan Xian was caught off guard by the confession again, her ears turned slightly red, and she had no choice but to agree, but she was already thinking about how to return the favor.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the production team rang the assembly gong.
The four guests gathered at the village gate, and Director Deng announced that Gu Changlin had won this episode's "Explorer" medal.
Gu Changlin obtained a total of six clues, the last of which was a medical manual that recorded more than a dozen treatment methods for "Gu".
Just as Nan Xian had previously "guessed," the person who was cursed was actually poisoned by some natural toxins, such as certain common but poisonous flowers and plants.
When the dosage of a toxin reaches a certain level, it can be fatal.
It is only because it is shrouded in the guise of "Gu" that it appears so mysterious.
After hearing this, Yu Lin was the first to jump out, his face full of disbelief: "But I also found six clues, why wasn't it me?"
Director Deng explained, "Actually, before the official recording of the program, we conducted an anonymous Q&A session with 100 audience members. Among the four of you, you had to choose 'who you most want to see complete the special task.' Nan Xian received the most votes, but she declined the special task, so the opportunity was passed on to Gu Changlin, who came in second. The person who successfully completes the special task will receive the most crucial clue to the mystery."
Yu Lin was still fuming: "If the first place winner does it, then all of us who come after are just running for nothing?"
Director Deng smiled smugly: "Do you think special missions are so easy to complete?"
Lang Zhuo picked up on the joke: "Oh? Is there some kind of mechanism involved?"
Gu Changlin said quietly, "The secret room, the mechanisms, the puzzles—it took me two hours to get out."
Yu Lin glanced at him in surprise, and finally fell silent.
Next came the farewell ceremony, where the villagers performed dances and offered their blessings.
Amidst laughter, Gillian emerged from the crowd and walked straight toward Nanxian.
Nan Xian immediately thought of her strange appearance, and almost couldn't hold back her smile.
Gillian held an old, carved wooden box in her arms, tilting her head back to look at Nanxian with bright eyes.
"Sister, this is my most precious thing. I'm giving it to you, hoping you can take it to a wider world."
Facing the camera, Nan Xian could only maintain a smile and accept the situation.
Only after finishing recording and getting on the bus she had come on did she dare to open the box.
Inside the box was an old book, its age impossible to discern, with only one word written on its cover—
insanity.
