Yao Mingke pinched the fish scales and examined them closely, asking curiously, "What does this mean? What's it used for?"
The staff member smiled mysteriously: "You'll find out later."
The two then set off together, and along the way they encountered Lang Zhuo. The three of them completed the mission together, and all they got were fish scales.
As dusk approached, the three of them returned to their starting point and saw large tents and canopies set up on the beach from afar, with the faint smell of barbecue wafting through the air.
"A barbecue by the sea? That's awesome!" Yao Mingke exclaimed, running towards the tent.
She suddenly noticed something, slowed her pace, and stopped at a wooden sign standing in front of the tent.
"...The guests' dinner needs to be purchased with the fish scales obtained from the afternoon's mission." She turned to Director Deng incredulously, "Seriously? We've been working hard all afternoon, and we still have to pay for our own food!"
Director Deng coughed lightly, "The pattern is fish scales."
"That's not the same!" Yao Mingke gritted his teeth. "Deng Hangwei, you're too cunning! No wonder I was dragged into doing tasks by the villagers as soon as I entered the village this afternoon, but all I got were fish scales... Turns out you had a trick up your sleeve!"
Director Deng smiled but remained silent.
The others arrived one after another, and upon seeing the rules, they all began to express their various forms of disdain for Director Deng, except for one person who looked worried.
Yao Mingke was the first to notice Yu Lin's strange expression and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Yu Lin smiled wryly: "This afternoon, I was doing a task with Teacher Gu. He used his clues to exchange for my fish scale, and now I only have one left."
Yao Mingke was speechless after hearing this, and silently rolled her eyes at Gu Changlin from an angle out of the camera's view.
Bullying juniors is no skill; it's so low!
She patted Yu Lin on the shoulder and said readily, "It's okay, I have plenty of money, you can come with me!"
Yu Lin smiled again, "Thank you, Sister Yao!"
However, when Yao Mingke saw the prices of the dishes, he was instantly dumbfounded—
Vegetable dishes are made with a single fish scale, but even the cheapest grilled chicken leg requires four fish scales!
She only did four tasks in the afternoon, all of which were the simplest, and only got five fish scales.
So, as Nan Xian was carefully calculating how much food she could buy, she suddenly saw two heads appear beside her.
Yao Mingke took her arm and said in a high-pitched, coquettish voice, "Sister Nanxian~ Rich lady, I'm hungry, I need some food!"
Yu Lin blinked her starry eyes, holding a fish scale in her hands, and said, "Sister, this is my food money~"
Nan Xian's lips twitched: "..."
She pinched the bridge of her nose and pointed to the seat next to her. "Sit down, sit down."
Yao Mingke gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. "Hehe, thank you, rich lady!"
With Nan Xian's eleven fish scales added, the three of them collected a total of seventeen scales.
There is only one serving of each ingredient, so the guests need to answer questions based on the pictures to win the right to grab the dish.
Next, Yu Lin became incredibly energetic, staring intently at the screen like a wolf on the hunt, his muscles tense. He raised his hand almost the instant the image appeared and quickly gave his answer.
In the end, thanks to him, they won most of the rights to grab vegetables. Yao Mingke, while eating sunflower seeds, said that it was so great to win without lifting a finger.
After dinner, everyone returned to their rooms one by one.
Nan Xian had just washed her hair and was sitting on the balcony with a towel wrapped around her.
The person on her phone was sending her photos of Nan Nan. Nan Xian was about to reply when she suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"Nanxian, I've come to play with you!" It was Yao Mingke's voice.
[Xian Shi Kan Hua: My friend is looking for me, I'll be right back!]
[.h: It's okay, I also have some work to finish. You should get some rest.]
She put down her phone and got up to open the door.
Yao Mingke stood at the door carrying beer and snacks, the beer cans rattling in the bag.
"A night out with my besties~"
Nan Xian greeted her with a smile and welcomed her in.
**
A variety show was playing on TV, and the two sat on the carpet, drinking and chatting, complaining about the bizarre things that happened in the entertainment industry.
Just as they were getting into the conversation, Yao Mingke suddenly stood up.
Her cheeks were slightly flushed, clearly indicating that she was intoxicated.
Nan Xian was wondering what she was going to do when she saw her walk up to her and kneel down with a thud.
She was startled, and her drunkenness instantly dissipated by more than half. "What are you doing?"
Yao Mingke grasped her hand, sniffed, and said, "Nan Xian, I want to repent to you!"
"???"
"I...I—" she gritted her teeth, her face turning even redder, "I slept with your brother!"
Nan Xian: "...Huh?!"
Yao Mingke went all out: "I slept with your brother, Nan Yi, I slept with Nan Yi!"
Nan Xian stood there stunned, and it took her a long time to process this shocking news.
Immediately, she took a deep breath, grasped Yao Mingke's hand in return, and nodded appreciatively.
"Thank you! Thank you so much!"
"No way—huh? Huh!?" Yao Mingke was also dumbfounded, staring at her in disbelief.
Nan Xian was deeply moved. "If it weren't for you, my brother would probably have remained a bachelor for life, a virgin forever... Really, thank you!"
In her previous life, until her rebirth, her brother had never dated anyone. He spent his days immersed in literature and classics, like an old monk who had seen through the vanities of the world.
Her parents had worried themselves sick over this, and every time she came home, she would see that their temples had grown even whiter.
But she never expected that in this life, her brother would finally—!
After listening to her description, Yao Mingke gave a drawn-out "Oh" with an ambiguous tone.
She suddenly thought of something and giggled.
