When Fu Bo opened his eyes again, the sun had already set and the sky had become completely dark.
I had no strength in my body. Every time I moved, I felt something painful under me. It turned out that I was sleeping on a pile of gravel.
"Who left me here?!" The tone was clearly a question, but the voice was weak, which made it seem a little aggrieved.
"Young Master, you really know how to focus on the key points... You mistakenly ate daffodils for garlic. Luckily, you cooked them in soup instead of eating them directly. You're lucky to be alive now."
Fu Bo turned his eyes and saw Jiang Ran. She was sitting next to him, adding firewood to the fire.
"Don't look, I'm the only one here."
Fu Bo struggled to sit up: "Where are the others?"
Jiang Ran used a wooden stick to fiddle with the firewood. "We're going into the rainforest for the competition tomorrow, so everyone should rest early and recharge their batteries."
Fu Bo felt a little aggrieved.
He was more or less a young master from a noble family. He had lived a life of luxury since he was a child and had never slept in the wilderness.
If the poisoning happened under normal circumstances, people would be lining up to come and ask about the patient's well-being, and it wouldn't be so deserted like it is now.
When his temper flared up, he blurted out, "Then why are you still here? You might as well go to bed!"
"Okay then," Jiang Ran stood up without refusing. "You look so energetic and you seem to have almost recovered. I'll go back to my tent."
"Hey..." Fu Bo subconsciously stretched out his hand.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Ran asked with his head tilted.
Fu Bo clenched his sleeves.
He almost lost his life on the first day he came here, and he was actually still a little scared, but the words had already been said, and he couldn't bring himself to ask anyone to stay with him.
So he stiffened his neck and said, "It's okay."
As soon as he finished speaking, a "gurgling" sound was heard.
Jiang Ran immediately stopped and laughed.
The human body is always more honest than the mouth.
When Fu Bo heard her laughter, he felt embarrassed and annoyed, and punched himself in the stomach.
"What are you doing!?" Jiang Ran reacted quickly and caught his fist before it landed.
"What's it to you?" Fu Bo's awkward temper came up, and he turned his head away and treated Jiang Ran as air.
This made Jiang Ran very angry——
People like them who make a living in the wild have always been in danger of losing their future. No one knows whether they can see the sun the next day. Many people have to secretly leave a will every time they go on a "business trip" and put it in a place that is not easy to find but can be found by others.
No matter how much they do to increase their chances of survival, it cannot stop many people from dying in the wild...such as her once closest friend.
Life is the most precious thing, and Jiang Ran cannot bear to see people hurting themselves.
No one should joke about their body at any time.
Jiang Ran suppressed his anger and grabbed Fu Bo's wrist tightly, "Say it again?"
Fu Bo was a little frightened, but he was a young master who would not yield to harshness and refused to give in at this time. He actually took the sarcasm as the sternness and repeated the words to Jiang Ran with a stiff upper lip.
"Okay, you are really awesome..." Jiang Ran gritted his teeth, his voice sounding quite cruel.
"I'm an adult, I don't need you to control me!"
Fu Bo didn't sound very confident when he said this, but there was a hint of seriousness in his words.
Who is Jiang Ran? We are not related, how can she take care of me?
The more Fu Bo thought about it, the more he felt it made sense. He was about to refute it again, but the next second he saw Jiang Ran pull out a knife from his waist.
Fu Bo: “!!!”
Fu Bo: “???”
Jiang Ran held him down with one hand, and with the other hand, he held the knife directly to his neck: "Since you don't care about your own health so much, why don't I help you?"
Fu Bo only realized today that the reason he was so soft-hearted and not hard-hearted was because he had never met Jiang Ran before.
He didn't dare to move, his bones felt weak. "Jiang...Jiang Jie, let's talk...let's talk it out nicely, okay?"
Seeing Fu Bo's expression, Jiang Ran's anger finally subsided a little -
This person finally knew the seriousness of the matter and didn't really joke with his own life.
But Jiang Ran would not let him go so easily.
She used the knife to test Fu Bo's body with great interest: "Do you think I should cut the arm or the leg first?"
"Gurgle..." Fu Bo swallowed carefully.
"Choose?" Jiang Ran's smile looked particularly strange under the moonlight.
"I, I was wrong!" Fu Bo was very aware of the situation.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Ran asked.
"I..." Fu Bo thought for a moment, trying to organize his words, "I shouldn't have just attacked myself so casually."
“That’s right, but it’s not just about this question.”
Jiang Ran lifted the man up by the collar, his expression serious and solemn. "There's nothing you can't say between teammates. If you want someone to stay with you, you can say so. If you feel wronged or uncomfortable, you can also say so. Hiding your feelings and not communicating them is a big taboo in the wild."
Fu Bo's eyebrows moved slightly: "But we are not teammates. "Back to Earth" is a competition program. We are all opponents."
Jiang Ran patted his shoulder: "As long as we stay in the wild for one day, we are all teammates."
Fu Bo seemed to understand, but Jiang Ran had already stood up.
He vaguely heard Jiang Ran mumbling a few words. The voice was very soft and he could only vaguely make out a few words, something like "thousands of years" and "unchanged".
What does that mean?
Fu Bo vaguely felt that it was very important.
This interruption made Fu Bo forget what he had previously thought.
He hesitated for a long time before slowly opening the lid and saying "thank you" in a very low voice.
Jiang Ran waved to him with his back and walked towards the tent.
Fu Bo looked at her back and suddenly realized that the tension and uneasiness that had been plaguing him for a long time had quietly disappeared without him knowing when.
Fu Bo reluctantly admitted——
Jiang Ran is sometimes quite reliable.
"Wait!" Fu Bo suddenly remembered something, "You haven't told me the results of today's practical assessment!"
Jiang Ran's smiling voice came from afar: "I'm first, you're last!"
Fu Bo: “…”
Help! Why did he think this person was reliable just now? He must have been dreaming and confused!
It was already very late when Jiang Ran returned to his tent. He had originally planned to pack up and go to bed, but he unexpectedly received a communication before sleeping.
Jiang Ran also remembered this number. She had received a call from this number when she first came here.
The other party's tone was very angry at the time. Although she didn't understand the specific meaning, she thought he didn't say anything good.
Why are you calling at this time?
"Jiang Ran! You are so brave! Who gave you the courage to participate in "Back to Earth"..." As soon as the call was picked up, he was scolded.
The other party's voice was so loud that Jiang Ran couldn't help but move the computer a little further away to avoid affecting his hearing.
She didn't say anything back the whole time, and after the other party finished cursing, she probably knew what was going on.
Jiang Ran had previously learned from Fu Bo that her original incarnation was a female star with a not-so-good reputation, but she was unfamiliar with the entertainment industry from her past life to this life, and she didn't think much about it. However, she didn't expect that her original incarnation was still bound by a contract and had many restrictions, and the person calling now was her agent.
"I'm making this clear today," the agent said arrogantly. "Participating in a variety show without the agency's consent is a breach of contract. You must compensate the company 10 million federal coins!"
Ten million federal coins?
Are you kidding?
Jiang Ran had checked the original body's account before, and the money in the several cards combined was less than one-tenth of this number.
Jiang Ran laughed on the spot: "You know I don't have that much money."
She didn't believe that the agent didn't understand the original body's situation. After all, seeing that her reputation was ruined and she couldn't recover, he was just taking advantage of the last opportunity to save her.
As expected.
"That's your business," said the agent.
"I can't pay it now," Jiang Ran said calmly, "but I can pay it in the future."
The agent was amused by her: "Do you think I will believe your nonsense?"
"You know whether it's bullshit or not," Jiang Ran laughed sarcastically. "You gave up on me earlier, but you chose to call me now. Isn't it because you saw the Star Network live broadcast of 'Back to Earth' and think I still have some value?"
This might have hit the nail on the head. The agent was silent for a moment before saying, "But who knows how you got first place on the quiz? Don't forget what you cooked when you participated in the classical cooking variety show!"
"You may not believe the quiz results, but you can certainly believe the finals results, right?"
"If you can also take first place in the main competition, the company might consider giving you some leniency."
“…”
We talked for a long time before hanging up the phone.
Jiang Ran put down the laptop, but his expression was not as relaxed as he showed during the call.
Being under a contract is a real shackle.
Jiang Ran would not allow this shackle to be on her body, she had to find a way to get rid of it.
But that is a matter for the future, and the most urgent task is to win a championship in the main competition.
In the dark night, Jiang Ran sat cross-legged in the tent, recalling today's quiz.
To take first place...
It doesn’t seem that difficult?
The author has something to say:
Symptoms of accidentally ingesting daffodils include vomiting, abdominal pain, cold sweats, irregular breathing, fever, lethargy, and collapse. In severe cases, convulsions and paralysis may occur, leading to death (from Baidu). The article is a bit exaggerated, so don't take it seriously.

Jiang Ran: The weather is getting cold, it’s time to win a championship and go back.
Other contestants who are ready to perform: Are you polite?
