Chapter 512 Various interactions and small actions
Zhang Ruoyun encountered a small trouble on the first day as a tour guide.
The program team gave the "Flowers" group US dollars, and now they are in South Africa and need to exchange them into local currency.
However, that morning, Zhang Ruoyun and the other three boys ran around the nearby town but couldn't find a place to exchange money.
The reason is very simple. Today is the weekend and banks only provide currency exchange services on weekdays.
Fortunately, Zhang Ruoyun finally had an idea and asked Jiang Shuying, who was in the camp, to ask the owner of the B&B to borrow 20,000 South African rand, which solved their urgent problem.
The itinerary of the "Flowers and Youth" group in Africa is very different from that in Brazil. The accommodation conditions are relatively poor, and the main activities arranged by the program team are basically related to various wild animals.
Compared to playing in Brazil, after arriving in Africa, everyone’s tasks are more like working.
Over the next two days, the group learned and simulated basic giraffe transfer skills at the Talitali Giraffe Conservation Base.
Learn how to manually move a giraffe to another area where food is more abundant.
Then we visited the Hanas Animal Conservation Base and experienced wildlife conservation work in groups at the camp.
Of course, this involves actually relocating a giraffe for conservation.
Two days passed in a flash. During this time, the members of the "Flowers and Youngsters" group saw various African wild animals, including zebras, monkeys, hunting dogs, African lions, etc.
Under the guidance of the staff, they tried to feed some injured animals on time every day. As a tour guide, Zhang Ruoyun even stayed in the same room with a group of cheetahs.
To everyone's surprise, the cheetah became as docile as a big cat after being comforted by the staff.
The main theme of the African station is to protect wildlife and spread positive energy. Although it seems relatively boring, it is also a completely novel experience for the members of the "Flowers and Youth" group.
"It's finally over. I've been exhausted these past two days!"
After dinner, Nazha returned to the girls' dormitory and lay on her back on the bed in a very ungraceful manner, with her slender limbs spread out and a look of despair on her face.
"You are still tired. Gu Wei has done so much work for you, my eldest lady." Jiang Shuying, who came in later, looked at Nazha on the bed with an aunt's smile.
"If I had known this, I would have strongly requested to be in the same group with Gu Wei when we were grouped together."
"He is a boy, the more capable he is, the more work he should do. Besides, I am timid, and Gu Wei has always been such a gentleman~" Nazha forced herself to find an excuse.
In the work of protecting wildlife, the eight members of the "Flowers and Youngsters" group are divided into two groups to carry out different tasks.
Nazha naturally has to go with Gu Wei.
Gu Wei basically did all the work for the two of them, such as feeding the lions large pieces of meat, taking care of the injured monkeys, giving them water and food, etc.
Nazha was afraid and a little restrained, so she spent most of her time running around behind Gu Wei, and occasionally she would try things on her own hesitantly.
"It's okay for him to be a gentleman, but he seems to be extra gentleman when he's with you. I've never seen him take such good care of other girls." Jiang Shuying didn't give up. From the beginning of the recording of the show, she felt that Gu Wei and Nazha were definitely more than just friends.
"No, we are all good friends, and it is normal to care about and look after each other." Nazha thought back to the journey of more than ten days. Was the interaction between her and Gu Wei so obvious?
But no matter what others speculate, admitting it is impossible.
After a night's rest, everyone got up around noon the next day.
Today is the last day of the Hua Shao group in South Africa. The itinerary is relatively simple. There is not much work to do, so we can relax and have a day in Cape Town.
South Africa has three capitals, and Cape Town is one of them.
It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the sea on one side. It has beautiful scenery and pleasant natural scenery.
There are clumsy penguins in Simon's Town not far away, great white sharks occasionally appear in the sea below the Garden Route, and the Cape of Good Hope connecting the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean is located at one end of the city. The blazing lighthouse on it has stood since the 18th century.
The Hua Shao group will go to Signal Hill at one end of the city, and ride scooters down from it to enjoy the magnificent view of the entire city.
At 6 pm, the sun had already set to the same level as the sea. After completing the scooter activity, the group came to the beach of the small town of Granban at the foot of the mountain. There is a very famous seaside restaurant "Big Black Pot" here.
In a shed that looks like a tattered fishing net, chefs prepare local cuisine with original flavors on site.
The members of the "Flowers and Youth" group entered the restaurant, each holding a plate, and could choose their favorite food from different chefs according to their taste.
Freshly baked bread, mussels, grilled fish and grilled meats, all to your choice.
"What is this?"
Naza carried her plate and walked over to a chef who had a medium-sized black bucket in front of him.
Gu Wei, who had just finished choosing his food, stood next to her and asked her in English.
"He said it was curry."
"Oh, okay, then give me some." Nazha happily moved the plate over.
"Everyone, we can go eat under that pavilion."
Seeing that everyone had almost made their choice, Gu Wei pointed to a wooden pavilion next to the reef. It had tables, chairs and benches inside, and it also provided the best angle to view the beautiful scenery.
The afterglow of the setting sun in the distance shines on the sea, the sea surface shimmers with golden light, and on the rocks on the shore, a group of seagulls fly up and down, eating the bread crumbs fed by tourists from time to time.
Looking around, the whole scenery is like a beautiful painting, making people here feel as if they are in a romantic and dreamy state.
"Wow! It's absolutely beautiful!"
Nazha ate the bread in her hand, staring blankly at the beautiful scenery in the distance, then turned her head slightly to look at Gu Wei beside her.
The two smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.
Although they couldn't be as intimate as when they were alone together due to the filming of the show, this time will still become the most beautiful memory for the two of them.
Everyone ate while chatting and laughing while enjoying the beautiful scenery.
Nazha finished the bread she had taken, looked at the remaining grilled fish on the plate, looked around and found that no one was paying attention, so she quickly picked it up and put it on Gu Wei's plate.
'This way it won't be a waste.' she thought proudly.
Gu Wei smiled and turned his head to look at her, and Nazha stuck out her tongue.
"I think you must not be full. Eat more to grow taller~"
"I saw it, Nazha, you put the leftover fish on Gu Wei's plate!" Jiang Shuying was clearly chatting with Jing Boyan a second ago, but who would have thought that Nazha's actions did not escape her eyes.
"What's wrong? I'm trying not to waste it. You even drank the Coke I left before!" Although she was caught in the act, Nazha's aura was not at all weakened.
Everyone laughed and cheered.
After a while, the sun completely dropped below the sea level and everything around became dark.
A bonfire was burning in the open space in front of the "Big Black Pot" restaurant, and local people began to sing and dance around the flames.
I don’t know if it was arranged by the program team, but an old man holding a guitar came to the table where Gu Wei and his friends were and asked them if they wanted to listen to some music.
"Wait, do you need money first?" Finance Jiang Shuying was still most concerned about the issue of money.
Zhang Ruoyun asked, and the old man shook his head, saying that this song is for everyone who comes here to dine.
“Don’t worry
Cause every little thing is gonna be alright
”
The old man's hoarse voice sang very pure music, accompanied by the cheerful sound of guitar, reflecting the bonfire in the night, and the members of the "Flowers and Youngsters" group followed the rhythm and sang along.
After the song was finished, everyone applauded, not because the song was so good, but because everyone was very happy at that moment.
After singing a song, the old man asked if anyone wanted to order another song. Of course, this would cost extra.
Everyone looked at each other without saying anything. The old man stood up and prepared to leave. Nazha suddenly turned around and looked at Gu Wei.
"Would you like to play and sing a song?"
"Me?" Gu Wei was a little surprised as he picked up the drink and took a sip.
"Yes, no need to order songs, we will listen to you sing!" Nazha said as a matter of course.
She knew that Gu Wei was a professional in singing and that neither Chinese nor English could stump him.
After hearing her words, others also remembered that there was a professional singer like Gu Wei among the eight members of the "Flowers and Youth" group.
"Brother Gu Wei, please sing one." Song Zuer, who once studied abroad, knew best how influential Gu Wei's two English songs from a few years ago were abroad. Unfortunately, Gu Wei focused on film and television dramas later and no new songs came out, so he was not famous in the European and American music circles.
"Sing one, sing one." Several boys also joined in the cheering.
Gu Wei put down the cup.
"Well, since everyone wants to listen."
Then he exchanged a few words with the old man, took the guitar from him, casually plucked a few strings, and tuned the tone.
"What should I sing? 'Natural' and 'Sold Out' don't seem to be suitable for the current environment."
Gu Wei thought for a few seconds, then began to gently strum the guitar in his hand.
The melodious tune drifted farther and farther away, and Gu Wei's magnetic voice also came out.
"If you miss the train l'm on
You will know that l am gone
You can hear the whistle blow
”
He sang a very famous country ballad in the European and American music scene [500 Miles]. The song itself tells the story of a long journey, expressing the longing and yearning for hometown and loved ones, which is very suitable for their current situation.
Everyone in the "Flowers and Youths" group listened quietly to Gu Wei's singing, closing their eyes as if they were already standing on the path back home.
As Gu Wei sang and played, not only did the members of the "Flowers in Youth" group listen to the song attentively, but the entire restaurant also gradually quieted down. Everyone was intoxicated by the wonderful music and the emotions it conveyed.
After the song was finished, there was applause all around and cheers from foreigners.
The members of the "Flowers and Youth" group also cheered, especially the girls. With Gu Wei's looks and talent, it is hard not to like him.
Nazha looked at Gu Wei with her beautiful eyes, full of love and pride.
