Chapter 606: Foster Brother (8)
Ouyang Han was alone in a tent. There was nothing she could do; Chen Lin and Liu Qianqian had obviously already slept together. She felt incredibly wronged and excluded, but everyone was exhausted and no one had the time or inclination to comfort her. Soon everyone fell asleep, and Ouyang Han could only go to sleep too.
The next day, Wen Wan woke up not very early, but not late either.
She slept soundly that night, as she was truly exhausted. Chen Lin was tying her hair up in the tent when she saw Wen Wan's hair all messed up, but she still looked dazed, clearly not fully awake yet. This adorable sight made Chen Lin unconsciously laugh out loud.
He ruffled Wen Wan's hair. "You're awake now."
Wen Wan blushed.
After all, being touched by a beautiful woman is still somewhat shameful.
After combing her hair, Wen Wan came out of the tent. The people in the other tents also got up. Liu Jun and the others were cooking, and the aroma of rice made Wen Wan swallow her saliva.
"Gao Ming and the others went spearfishing. After all, we have to be careful with this little bit of food. There are still five days left, and this amount of rice won't be enough. Yuan Ou and the others went back to look for the rice they left behind. I hope they can find it successfully, otherwise we'll suffer a huge loss."
Wen Wan has no hope. Is the production team stupid?
They must have retrieved it themselves; there's no way they would have left it behind. The production team would have preferred them to run out of water and food. This is true wilderness survival; they're destined to go empty-handed.
Sure enough, Yuan Ou and Ouyang Han returned soon, but they had nothing in their hands.
"The production team is so hateful. They took the rice back and won't give it back to us," Ouyang Han said, feeling wronged.
Chen Qiao: "..."
"Alright then, you guys just go find something else to eat. There's a river not far ahead with fish in it, and you can also find some edible wild vegetables. You should have done your research before coming here, right? You should know what's edible and what's not, right?"
Ouyang Han: "..."
She had no idea that she needed to make these preparations.
Yuan Ou obviously didn't know either, but he took the initiative to spear the fish. Ouyang Han looked at Liu Qianqian and Chen Lin sitting on the side. She didn't know what to say about Chen Lin, after all, she had been criticized too many times, and the other party's status and popularity far exceeded hers.
But what gives Liu Qianqian the right to do so?
"Sister Qianqian, aren't you going to find some ingredients? Well, I guess I shouldn't have said that. Sister Qianqian, please rest well. I'll go find some ingredients with Liu Jun and the others."
Wen Wan: "Then you go."
Ouyang Han: "..."
Ouyang Han's expression was really strange. She wanted to maintain her fairy-like persona, but she was also angered by Wen Wan. The two emotions were displayed on one face, which looked very odd.
After Ouyang Han left, Chen Lin looked at Wen Wan and said, "Your temper is to my liking."
When Wen Wan is in front of Chen Lin, she becomes a shy little fan again.
"I'll go take a look. I remember seeing a place where there seemed to be some mushrooms. I'll go pick some."
Chen Lin stood up: "I'll go with you, otherwise people will say I'm just freeloading."
Wen Yan: "..."
Chen Qiao said, "Be careful, don't go too far."
Following the route provided by the system, Wen Wan quickly found a large patch of mushrooms. Chen Lin was very surprised, "Qianqian, are you a human treasure chest? I admire you. I'll have to stick close to you from now on, I'm sure I won't go hungry."
Wen Wan said shyly, "Let me hug you, my thighs are definitely thick. I did a lot of research before I came."
"Okay, I don't recognize these mushrooms. Just tell me which ones are edible, and I'll pick those."
Wen Wan began to introduce these mushrooms to Chen Lin.
"This is a termite mushroom, which is edible. It smells amazing when stewed with chicken. Plus, it's wild, so it's really hard to find normally."
"Then we need to collect more samples."
"Don't pick it by the roots, it will sprout new ones."
"Um."
"What is this? Is it edible?" Chen Lin asked, pointing to a pretty-looking mushroom. Wen Wan looked at it and said, "This is a porcini mushroom. It's edible, and it's especially delicious. It's amazing when stir-fried with cured meat."
Chen Lin watched Wen Wan picking something that looked rather unappetizing, quite different from the others. "Is this edible? It looks so dry."
"This is dried mushroom. It can be used in stews or stir-fries. It has a very unique flavor."
The two were happily picking mushrooms, while the viewers in the live stream went from initial distrust to gradual admiration.
—I thought Liu Qianqian was a pampered young lady who didn't know anything about worldly affairs, but she actually knows so many wild mushrooms, many of which I've never seen before.
—Which rich young lady carries rice and hot pot base? Which rich young lady can predict the rain? Which rich young lady knows so many wild mushrooms? Is this a rich young lady? She's clearly a survival expert.
—I'm totally convinced. And the claim that she bullied the actors on set is baseless and lacks any evidence. The only accusation she has is that she harassed Qi Mingsen, right? Moreover, as far as I know, Qi Mingsen got several opportunities through Liu Qianqian. He's really pitiful.
—Mushroom hot pot is so delicious, they're really lucky now.
As Wen Wan picked mushrooms, it turned into a happy paradise, and she couldn't stop smiling. But who would have thought that a shadow would suddenly jump over and be caught by Wen Wan with quick eyes and hands.
Chen Lin looked over and couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy crap!!!"
It turned out to be a pheasant that had stumbled upon her. While others were lying in wait for their prey, Liu Qianqian had let the pheasant walk right into her trap.
"Alright, we have our main course now."
The pheasant struggled incessantly, but Wen Wan held it firmly by the neck.
Afterwards, Wen Wan and Chen Lin finished picking and prepared to go back. On the way, they encountered some wild peppercorns, and Wen Wan picked some up.
When they arrived at their campsite, Liu Jun and his men had already returned, but the atmosphere there wasn't very pleasant.
Chen Lin: "What happened? Didn't you go fishing?"
Liu Jun glanced at Ouyang Han, and all he could say was that even a good-natured man like Liu Jun was speechless; he was truly speechless.
Wen Wan and Chen Lin only learned what had happened from other people later.
They were catching fish, and they caught several.
Yuan Ou arrived, and naturally the more people the better. Yuan Ou didn't cause any trouble. Although he didn't catch anything, he at least tried. But when they went to put the fish in the bucket, they found that there wasn't a single fish left.
Ouyang Han actually released all the fish.
Ouyang Han said, "These fish are still babies, so let's not catch them."
The problem is they can't catch the big ones either! After trying all morning, they were all released. Gao Ming couldn't hold back his temper and cursed, which made Ouyang Han burst into tears.
Gao Ming was completely speechless.
The others were speechless. They could have tolerated it under other circumstances, but this was food, and no one could stand it.
Ouyang Han cried pitifully on the side, and Chen Lin rolled her eyes. "Don't blame her. She'd rather starve than eat fish, so let's grant her wish. She's practically shining with holy light, like Mary herself."
Ouyang Han: "..."
Wen Wan said, "Don't worry, Chen Lin and I picked a lot of wild mushrooms, enough for several meals. I also caught a pheasant, which can be used to make mushroom stewed chicken."
Liu Jun looked at the pheasant in Wen Wan's hand and quickly took it from her. "This must weigh five or six pounds. You guys are really amazing."
Others also gathered around, praising it.
Chen Qiao went to kill the chicken, and then the others started processing the mushrooms, letting Wen Wan and Chen Lin rest.
Yuan Ou glanced at Ouyang Han, who was still waiting for someone to coax her, and was speechless. His company even asked him to help Ouyang Han create a CP (couple pairing) image. What a joke! This idiot is just asking for trouble.
Is this really a persona of someone with a high level of education?
It can't be fake, can it?
He decisively gave up on Ouyang Han and instead focused his attention on Liu Qianqian and Chen Lin. Chen Lin was definitely out of the question; they didn't get along. Liu Qianqian, on the other hand, was a perfect match. She had a knack for variety shows and could attract fans, and she was also the daughter of the Liu Group. If he could really hook up with her, it would definitely be all benefits to him. He believed that he was no less handsome than Qi Mingsen. If Qi Mingsen could step on Liu Qianqian to become a top-tier movie star, he could do the same.
Wen Wan had no idea that she was being targeted.
Instead, they drank boiled water while waiting for their meal.
Soon, the rich and fragrant chicken soup instantly captivated everyone's taste buds, and everyone's eyes were glued to the pot of stewing chicken.
Even Chen Lin couldn't help but gasp, "Is this what chicken mushrooms smell like? This is the first time I've ever smelled such an amazing aroma."
Soon everyone received a bowl of chicken soup, a few pieces of chicken, and a bowl of porridge.
No one had the energy to talk; instead, everyone started eating.
As the biggest contributor, Wen Wan got the two biggest chicken legs in her bowl. She didn't refuse and was extremely satisfied with the meal. She squinted her eyes and was radiating happiness.
Paired with Wen Wan's honey chili sauce, it's absolutely amazing.
As for Ouyang Han, she wanted to eat, and she was hungry. She originally thought that others would invite her to eat together, but no one cared about her at all.
She was too embarrassed to say she wanted some, and she was so conflicted, looking aggrieved.
If this had happened in the past, Liu Jun and the others would have definitely gone to comfort them, but now... who would want to care?
So annoying.
Ouyang Han's fans and CP fans felt wronged for their idol and kept scolding others for being selfish. They said there was so much chicken, couldn't they have shared some with Hanhan? They mainly criticized Liu Qianqian, who was the most troublesome one.
Then she was attacked by Chen Lin and Yuan Ou's fans. The former had already regarded Liu Qianqian as one of their own. After all, if it weren't for Liu Qianqian, would their goddess be able to eat such good food? Would she be able to avoid getting wet in the rain and suffering?
The latter also benefited from Liu Qianqian's kindness, since their idol had also eaten chicken.
While other athletes may not have as many fans as celebrities, they are not without fans. Moreover, most of the athletes' fans are fiercely competitive straight men who can launch a barrage of attacks that are simply irresistible.
Moreover, even passersby were speechless, feeling that Ouyang Han was simply a green tea b*tch who had been hiding for many years.
Even her image as a highly intelligent and talented woman is gradually crumbling.
In the end, Wen Wan brought over a bowl of chicken soup and some minced meat, saying, "Aren't you hungry? You should eat something, we have to go soon."
"Thank you, Sister Qianqian, but I'm not very hungry, and I don't really like chicken."
Wen Wan nodded when she heard Ouyang Han's words. Anyway, she was just going through the motions. She knew that Ouyang Han could eat anything anyone gave her, but she definitely wouldn't accept anything from her. Rather than having someone else serve her, she might as well serve it herself. She was very vengeful. "Alright, I can't force you to eat something you don't like. Do you want some porridge? There should be half a bowl left over there."
