Who is Fu Jianzhi? He can easily get first place in escape room games without even using his brain.
Fu Jianzhi was in the fifth group, and Ruan Luo was in the first group.
The Xu family was the second group, and Xu Sheng, Xu Qingjing's cousin, was the one who came. If nothing unexpected happens, the power of the Xu family will be handed over to this branch in the future.
Yu Xiaoya came from the Yu family, but she hadn't mentioned the variety show to Ruan Chen beforehand. It was unclear whether she was worried that Ruan Chen wouldn't like to hear about Fu Jianzhi, or if she thought Ruan Chen was still in the Northern Islands and hadn't returned.
If Ruan Chen wanted to, she could get all the girl's information in five minutes, but she only clicked on the program's introduction and glanced at it casually.
The girl curled up in Fu Jianzhi's arms is named Song Shengxia. According to the program, she is proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She also has a tragic past of losing both her parents at a young age. If the Song family hadn't taken this distant niece home, she probably would have starved to death on the streets long ago.
I don't know if it was deliberately arranged by someone, but Song Shengxia is a member of the Song family, or the adopted daughter of the head of the Song family who is still in prison.
If there are no ghosts, then it's truly a case of seeing a ghost.
However, with Ruan Luo around, the public didn't pay much attention to Fu Jianzhi's situation. The trending topics were mostly about Ruan Luo's sweet interactions with the unknown actress he brought into the group, which was probably because the company wanted to elevate the actress's status.
In addition, Fu Jianzhi kept a low profile, maintaining a moderate level of skill in clearing the game, and did not cause any surprises or accidents. Even if he wanted to create hype, there was no hot topic.
The mastermind behind it all seems to be somewhat dissatisfied with this.
In the fourth episode, the escape room in the villa was removed and replaced with a cozy home style.
The show's theme has also been changed to "Go, Chef!"
In short, it's about having celebrities cook and compare which group's food offers the best value for money and is the most delicious and visually appealing.
Song Shengxia must have received guidance from a master; she spent the whole morning in the kitchen, and seven or eight of her posts trended on social media.
[Feelings of a Wife in the Summer of Song Dynasty]
Song Shengxia Milk Pudding
Mr. Fu is in luck!
Of course, there were also some oddities—[Who has a nice family who eats a table full of desserts for lunch?], [Doesn't anyone think Song Shengxia was groomed?]
When Leng Yueqiu watched the fourth episode, she was so angry that she almost ground her teeth to powder. She kept stealing glances at Ruan Chen, who was revising her thesis below, wishing she could block out this episode from Ruan Chen's world.
Ruan Chen was determined not to care about the show, but some people were so bored that they had to come up with a way to challenge her bottom line from the perspective of God's omniscience.
nobody: [Isn't it boring to revise a paper all morning? I've extracted a few highlights for you, take a look.]
Ruan Chen needed to use Him now, so he silently handed over control of the computer screen.
nobody: [This is a high-definition, pure enjoyment version of Chef Fu's "Go! Chef!".]
Ruan Chen picked up a pomelo from beside her and slowly peeled it while looking at it.
In the video, Song Shengxia's hands were stuck in the flour basin, and her nose was covered in glistening beads of sweat from exhaustion. Her face was flushed and she looked adorable. With flour on her face, she smiled and called out to Fu Jianzhi, "Brother Jianzhi, my hair is messed up."
Fu Jianzhi was washing kitchen utensils by the sink when he heard this. He wiped the water off his hands and pulled out the slightly loose hairpin from Song Shengxia's hair.
As he moved, Song Shengxia's long, unkempt hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and any normal man would be unable to resist taking a second look at her from behind.
She seemed well aware of the allure of this angle, and at the opportune moment, she slightly tilted her head, smiled with pursed lips, and her long eyelashes were clearly visible.
The comments section was filled with messages like, "That profile is absolutely stunning."
nobody: [Isn't this just copying you?]
It's rare to see a girl of Song Shengxia's age with such black hair, completely unadorned, with only a simple hairpin inserted.
Fu Jianzhi seemed blind and insensitive. He wiped the flour off Song Shengxia's face and used a hairpin in one hand to tie up Song Shengxia's long hair.
As expected, the comments section erupted in exclamations.
[Young Master Fu's movements are so practiced, I suggest we find out which woman he learned them from.]
[Was this practice specifically for the summer? I'm totally shipping them!]
Ruan Chen pressed the pomelo peel in her hand until it was broken, exposing the tender flesh, and sweet juice flowed all over the table.
That was... something Fu Jianzhi practiced for her.
That's a story from another world.
The second scene shows Song Shengxia making milk pudding. Milk splashes out of the bowl, getting milk stains all over her face and chest, and she calls for Fu Jianzhi to clean up the mess.
Fu Jianzhi smiled good-naturedly and handed her a tissue to wipe her mouth. He didn't know if he had touched something on Song Shengxia, but she giggled and dodged, accidentally overturning the entire milk basin and spilling it all over the two of them.
nobody: [This is truly indecent and immoral, don't you think, Ruan Chen?]
Ruan Chen: [Continue.]
She sensed something was wrong from Song Shengxia's actions.
The milk was in an old-fashioned enamel basin, which weighed two or three pounds on its own. Song Shengxia poured three one-liter containers of milk into it for the sake of the show, which means that the milk basin she "accidentally" knocked over weighed at least five pounds.
The angle at which Song Shengxia hits the basin makes it difficult to exert force.
She had practiced, but she insisted on pretending to be an innocent little white rabbit.
Who is it that would send a meticulously trained girl to Fu Jianzhi's side?
Even nobody realized something was off about this scene. [This woman is no ordinary person. Aren't you worried?]
Ruan Chen: [I told you to keep playing, are you blind?]
The third scene shows Fu Jianzhi washing dishes, and Song Shengxia wraps her arms around his waist from behind, teaching him how to adjust the water temperature. The two of them get splashed with water again.
nobody: [The social order has collapsed.]
After the fourth episode, it seems that Song Shengxia went a bit too far in creating the "clumsy beauty" persona, and the online public opinion has taken a turn for the worse, with a subtle bias against Song Shengxia for marketing her persona. The next day, the production team officially announced the theme of the new episode: "Survival on a Desert Island".
Without even thinking, the goal was to create a resilient, innocent persona for Song Shengxia.
The fourth episode takes place a week later, where Yu Xiaoya unilaterally announces her withdrawal from the competition due to group affairs, and then contacts Ruan Chen.
"I heard you're back? You know I recently participated in a variety show. I don't know who the idiot put a 'pure and innocent' character in the crew. I could tolerate the first two episodes, but starting from the third episode, the endless marketing of this persona was disgusting."
"I said, could you please advise Fu Jianzhi not to get entangled with this kind of woman of dubious character and ruin his future?"
"I heard that Feng Fuchengyu is up to something, how can he still be interested in appearing on variety shows?"
After listening to her complaints for a while, Ruan Chen finally asked, "What's the deal with that wilderness survival thing? The official website didn't mention the location, do you know? Something feels off."
After a moment of silence, Yu Xiaoya cleared her head and felt much more composed. "I don't know either. Now that you mention it, it does seem to make sense. A deserted island, wilderness survival, why do I feel a little creeped out?"
"An isolated island?"
Ruan Chen was taken aback. "How did you know?"
"I overheard this while I was changing backstage. It's about an isolated island to the south, right off the coast. The coordinates are unclear. Their ships all left this morning. What are we going to do?"
