Chapter 88 Survival on a Desert Island
The three-day break flew by, and it's time to record the next episode of the variety show.
Ji Zhi Qiu was very familiar with the specific procedures. After sleeping soundly on the way, the plane finally landed.
He thought he was about to take a car to the recording location, but unexpectedly, he transferred to a fishing boat and drifted on the vast river.
Ji Zhi Qiu looked around somewhat bewildered, wondering what the production team was up to. The three children, however, were experiencing a boat ride for the first time and were quite excited, though their expressions varied:
Ji Yanyan stretched out a small hand and gently stirred the water's surface; Ji Sicheng tried to estimate the river's depth by combining the water's color, but unfortunately failed; as for Ji Zishen, he thought the fish in the river must be very plump and wanted to find an opportunity to catch one and braise it.
All they could see was the vast sky and the boundless water. They drifted on the boat for nearly half an hour before finally seeing the outline of the island.
Ji Zhi Qiu's heart skipped a beat, and she had a general idea, but she didn't say it out loud in front of the camera.
He and Wen Qizheng arrived at almost the same time. Wen Qizheng was seasick and dizzy. He stumbled and fell to the ground as soon as he landed.
Ji Zhi Qiu quickly stepped forward to support him, "Are you alright?"
Wen Qizheng was afraid that he would blurt out "yue" as soon as he opened his mouth, so he waved his hand and just asked Ji Zhiqi to help him flip the food over.
Wen Qizheng grew up in an artistic family with extremely strict rules. Even when he was seasick, his sleeping posture was exceptionally proper, with his hands on his chest.
Ji Zhi Qiu couldn't help but glance at him a few more times, and felt more and more that he was a salted fish that had been turned over and dried in the sun.
After Wen Qizheng recovered, the other guests arrived. Zhao Fuke frowned and looked around at the surrounding environment with obvious disdain.
With his current net worth, even if he went to a small island for tourism, he would be served by a butler 24 hours a day, and the facilities would be more luxurious than a five-star hotel. Although the island in front of him was beautiful, it was somewhat deserted and there was almost no trace of human civilization. It was like bringing them here to survive on a deserted island.
These four words kept popping into Ji Zhi Qiu's mind, and he couldn't shake them off.
As expected, in order to create the atmosphere of an isolated island, the director did not show himself, but only left a megaphone on the rock in front of them.
"Hello everyone, welcome to our survival island."
"Your accommodations have been assigned, and the initial conditions are exactly the same. As for how you will live on the island in the coming week, that depends entirely on your own efforts."
"This island has different areas. As long as you complete the relevant tasks and meet the conditions, you can claim this area as your territory and enjoy the resources on the territory. No one else may occupy it."
"However, missions may refresh in the area at any time. Other teams can take over the area as long as they complete the mission. Please patrol your territory regularly to prevent this from happening."
"I hope everyone has a wonderful seven days on the island."
This topic was beyond everyone's expectations. Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, while Zhao Fuke's face had turned as black as charcoal.
The second episode was filmed in the countryside, and the conditions were already quite unsatisfactory to him, but at least the production team secretly helped him out. Unexpectedly, this episode sent him directly to a desolate island where he had to rely on himself to make a living.
Lin Jinchao, seeing that Ji Zhiqi had remained silent, knew his chance to shine had come and took the initiative to comfort everyone: "Don't worry or be sad, I believe that with our abilities we can definitely..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ji Zhi Qiu's shoulders trembled slightly.
Lin Jinzhao was stunned. He didn't expect that Ji Zhiqi, a man nearing thirty, would actually put on a show of crying on the spot just to attract attention.
Just as he was wondering whether to follow suit and not let Ji Zhi Qiu steal the spotlight, Ji Zhi Qiu suddenly raised his head and could no longer suppress his laughter.
He instinctively grabbed Lu Yu Nian's wrist, his eyes sparkling, and said, "Do you remember the game we played before? It's very similar. I was wondering if I'd ever get to play a live-action version in my lifetime, and now my wish has actually come true!"
Lu Yu Nian patted the back of his hand, "I'll accompany you on whatever you want to do this week."
The security guard next to him, finally recovering from seasickness, peeked out and suddenly realized he might be about to lose his job.
The fans in the live stream didn't miss this detail.
[They were so shy and hesitant before, but now they're openly showing off their love! Wow!]
In my experience, when a relationship becomes very intimate or involves close physical contact, people stop caring about physical touch.
[Negative distance? Let's discuss that, lol emoji]
[I guess it's -18, *winking emoji*]
Amidst the generally negative emotions of the others, Ji Zhiqi was excited like a freak, but his excitement and exhilaration infected the others, and Wen Qizheng was no longer flustered.
He has a very clear understanding of his own position.
He was an adopted son who was only three years younger than Ji Zhi Qiu.
Anyway, he was able to finish recording several episodes smoothly only because Ji Zhi Qiu gave him food. He had already been shamelessly clinging to the role for so long, so what's a little more time?
Wen Qizheng sidled up to him and asked bluntly, "Brother Zhi Qiu, should we form an alliance?"
Ji Zhi Qiu pondered for a few seconds before speaking, but Lin Jin Zhao spoke up first: "That's not fair. If the two of you form an alliance, it's like pushing me to cooperate with Brother Zhao. Don't blame us later."
Ji Zhi Qiu nodded. "How about this, you form an alliance with Qi Zheng. I don't care about fairness. I promise I'll still fight alone."
Lin Jinzhao: "..."
Wen Qizheng's performance in the past few episodes has been remarkable. Lin Jinchao had previously secretly criticized Ji Zhiqi for being scheming, treating Wen Qizheng as a good brother on the surface but actually using him as a stepping stone to show off. But when it was his turn, he hesitated and was quite unwilling.
Ji Zhi Qiu looked at him teasingly, "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Lin Jinzhao could only manage a dry laugh. "It was just a joke, why did you take it so seriously?"
Seeing that Lin Jinzhao was no longer focusing on the matter, Ji Zhiqi turned his gaze away and patted Wen Qizheng's shoulder reassuringly, "It's okay, we're not allied, but you can come to me anytime you encounter any problems."
Wen Qizheng nodded heavily, his eyes clear and clean, the curve of his pupils full, like the round eyes of a dog, staring straight at Ji Zhi Qiu, making people unable to help but soften their hearts.
Ji Zhi Qiu took the opportunity to pat his head and give it a couple of light taps. Wen Qi Zheng was overjoyed and snuggled closer to Ji Zhi Qiu.
Ji Zhi Qiu laughed, about to tease him, when he suddenly caught Lu Yu Nian's gaze out of the corner of his eye.
Lu Yunian stood alone to the side, his tall figure casting a deep shadow. He was silent, staring intently at him, as if focused on the hand that had touched Wen Qizheng.
Alarm bells are ringing in the heart of this love novice.
It's here! It's finally here!
This is what they call jealousy!!
As a qualified boyfriend, one should never let one's beloved be troubled by such emotions. Ji Zhi Qiu pondered for a few seconds, then walked over with a serious expression.
He reached out, trying to give his boyfriend better treatment, but after trying, he found that his fingertips couldn't reach a single strand of his boyfriend's hair.
"..." Standing on tiptoe is fine, but it's embarrassing.
Ji Zhi Qiu was uncharacteristically stunned. Her brain raced as she frowned and stared at Lu Yu Nian, trying to find a solution.
It's all because he's too tall. Lu Yunian was very aware of this and naturally bent down slightly, placing his head under Ji Zhi Qiu's palm.
Ji Zhi Qiu's long, slender, fair fingers ran through his black hair, the color difference extremely obvious. He gently rubbed along the roots of his hair, then pressed it down soothingly, much like patting a dog's head.
The scene was heartwarming and adorable, instantly depleting the hearts of the CP fans in the live stream. They clutched their chests and slowly collapsed, still wearing happy smiles on their faces, leaving Ji Zhi Qiu's "honest fans" at a loss.
They are truly honest people, wholeheartedly concerned for Ji Zhi Qiu, fearing that the romance would affect his reputation and career. They spared no effort to help explain that his relationship with Lu Yu Nian was just friendship, but now this scene has left them confused.
Friendship?
This is clearly love!
***
Ji Zhi Qiu felt very good about himself. Yesterday, at the hotel, they only needed to look at each other to feel thirsty and almost wanted to burn their clothes with their eyes. The two of them lay naked on the bed.
However, after the recording officially started, he and Lu Yu Nian got along naturally and did not engage in any of the behaviors typical of a couple.
Ji Zhi Qiu became increasingly smug, humming a tune softly, and secretly winked at Lu Yu Nian.
Lu Yunian understood instantly, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
This was because of him, and it belonged only to him. Ji Zhi Qiu felt as if he had eaten a piece of candy, and he fell into the sweetness of love once again.
Unaware that he was wearing his heart on his sleeve, he thought he was hiding it well.
They finally arrived at their lodgings. The director treated them fairly well; the rooms were clean and tidy, and as long as there was food and drink, survival wouldn't be too difficult.
But this is a deserted island after all, and they are not familiar with the surrounding environment, so it is not advisable to bring the three cubs along.
As usual, Ji Zhi Qiu left them at home to prepare to go hunting alone. Before leaving, he asked them what they wanted.
Ji Yanyan really liked this theme. Her face flushed with excitement, and she raised her hand high, "I want chocolate and candy!"
This is, after all, a children's variety show, and the director has relevant considerations. Ji Zhi Qiu thought this was very likely one of the supplies that would be airdropped, and nodded: "Dad will try his best to find it for you."
Ji Zishen said, "I've looked into the kitchen. It only has basic cooking utensils and seasonings. There's a high probability that they're preparing fast food for us, but there will also be vegetables and fruits to supplement our vitamins."
Ji Zhi Qiu nodded, understanding her eldest son's needs.
"Sicheng, what do you want?"
Without a second thought, Ji Sicheng said directly, "I want oil."
The painting styles were completely different, but Ji Zhi Qiu was already used to it. He kicked open the door and shouted at the top of his lungs, "We want some oil, please!"
Ji Yanyan shook her head, puzzled. "Dad, what are you doing?"
Ji Zhi Qiu blinked, deliberately playing hard to get, "We're making a wish."
Ji Yanyan nodded thoughtfully, indicating that he had learned it.
After settling the three children in, Ji Zhi Qiu went out with Lu Yu Nian to search for mission locations.
Ji Zhi Qiu discussed countermeasures with Lu Yu Nian, "We don't know the full picture of the island yet. To be on the safe side, let's first divide the surrounding area into our territory. Even if an enemy invades, we can be prepared immediately."
Lu Yu Nian nodded. They were very lucky and quickly found their first task: to eat this gummy candy together.
A question mark appeared above Ji Zhi Qiu's head.
Director, what are you doing? This doesn't look like a serious task!
Ji Zhi Qiu imagined that one person would bite one end of the mouth and move closer and closer until their breaths would mingle. They would accidentally touch each other, and if an accident happened, they could kiss in public.
Ji Zhi Qiu was dumbfounded, unable to tell whether this was a dating reality show or a child reality show, until he saw the true appearance of the gummy bear.
He stroked his chin, examining it closely for a while. "This gummy bear is really long. The person who set up the task was so thoughtful, hanging it on a tree for us. Is it so we can just tiptoe and hang ourselves?"
According to the director's idea, the two of them had to open their mouths wide like idiots, jumping around while eating lollipops swaying in the wind. They had to work up a sweat and make all sorts of foolish mistakes before they could barely complete the task.
Lu Yunian had also guessed this and was trying to find a solution.
He was dressed in the simplest casual clothes, but he was tall, broad-shouldered, and narrow-waisted. Standing under the clear breeze and green trees, he looked handsome and refined. The camera installed next to him turned 180 degrees and filmed him.
After taking the handsome photos of the guy, they remembered Ji Zhi Qiu who was standing next to them, but when they turned around, he had already vanished into thin air.
? ? ?
The director and the viewers in the live broadcast room were very surprised. The camera moved rapidly, searching for Ji Zhi Qiu's figure. However, in such a short time, Ji Zhi Qiu had somehow run away from the mission location.
The director was getting anxious and was about to send staff to search in another way when the camera suddenly caught a glimpse of a piece of clothing.
Ji Zhi Qiu had somehow climbed up the tree and was sitting leisurely on a branch, gazing at the distant scenery while happily eating gummy candies, thus solving the problem at its root.
director:"……"
Viewers in the live stream: "..."
This isn't quite what I expected.
[Just tell me if you've completed the task or not, there aren't any other conditions, lol emoji]
[Haha, the show's producers and Ji Zhi Qiu's love-hate relationship is back again! I declare Ji Zhi Qiu the winner this round!]
[Ji Zhi Qiu: Director, you have your script, but I have my own unorthodox methods. Don't worry about it.]
They completed the task effortlessly. When Ji Zhi Qiu climbed down the tree, Lu Yu Nian naturally put his arm around his waist and carried him down. The two even took the opportunity to cuddle for a while, killing two birds with one stone.
After designating this area as their territory, they could search for supplies with peace of mind. Ji Zhi Qiu was lucky and quickly found what Ji Zi Shen and Ji Yan Yan needed, returning with a full load.
Ji Zishen's eyes lit up when he saw the fresh vegetables and fruits. He immediately carried them back to the kitchen and arranged them by size and color, as if they were a treasure guarding an evil dragon.
Ji Yanyan also received his candy, immediately stuffed it into her mouth, and then reached out her little hand to feed her father.
Ji Zhi Qiu was completely charmed and rubbed his face against his precious son, almost knocking Ji Yan Yan to the ground. He coughed awkwardly and covered his face with his hands, but he could still feel Ji Si Cheng staring straight at him.
Ji Zhiqi picked up the shovel next to him and thought for a while. "This is probably related to oil."
Ji Sicheng's mind was full of the periodic table of chemistry, and he wanted to explain to him that petroleum and metals cannot be converted into each other.
Ji Zhi Qiu was also helpless. "I just shouted and hinted to the director, but all he brought was a shovel. He probably meant..."
"What?"
Ji Zhiqi covered his face and said, "You guys are so capable, why don't you pick an oil spot in the river and use this shovel to dig out oil sooner or later!"
Ji Sicheng: "..."
He hesitated for a long time, and finally gave up his initial idea. He looked the shovel up and down, and silently took it back to his room.
Ji Zhi Qiu stared in shock at his retreating figure, a chill inexplicably rising from his back. He rubbed his arms, thinking that Ji Si Cheng's new idea must be quite troublesome.
After finishing her candy, Ji Yanyan ran over again and took Ji Zhi Qiu's hand to walk outside.
He pointed to a pile of wood in the yard, "Dad, are we going to chop firewood?"
Ji Zhi Qiu went over to take a look and found that the wood was exceptionally sturdy and had been carefully polished; there was even a hole drilled in the corner of one of the planks.
He looked at it for a while and suddenly understood: "This is a swing. Yan Yan, wait a moment, I'll help you assemble it."
Ji Yanyan loves sitting on the swing the most. Her eyes lit up with excitement, and she ran around them like a chick chirping.
Lu Yu Nian took the initiative to do the physical work, letting Ji Zhi Qiu sit and rest beside him.
Although it is a deserted island, it has great potential to be developed into a tourist attraction. The scenery is exceptionally beautiful. Ji Zhi Qiu looked at the green leaves swaying in the breeze in the distance, and his heart calmed down.
He swore that his initial intention was to appreciate the beautiful scenery, but as he looked at it, his gaze changed.
Lu Yunian was assembling the swing with his head down, a thin layer of sweat on his face. The sweat beads glistened in the sunlight, like tiny diamonds.
In front of the camera, Lu Yu Nian adhered to traditional male virtues, wearing only a T-shirt underneath, but Ji Zhi Qiu had seen what he was like in private.
The shirt fabric was thin and soft, and when wet, it became translucent, clinging tightly to the skin and revealing the outline of flesh-colored muscles. Further down... was a view that only her boyfriend could see. Lu Yu Nian's V-line was exceptionally sexy, but he was too embarrassed to explore further in the hotel, only touching it briefly.
Ji Zhi Qiu's thoughts were completely occupied by these things. Suddenly, he felt his mouth was dry and he couldn't breathe. His Adam's apple kept bobbing, and he picked up his collar and fanned himself up and down.
But in front of the camera, he couldn't show any hint of anything; he had to force himself to suppress it until his eyes became unfocused and glazed over.
On the other side, Lu Yu Nian had finished assembling the swing, gently lifted Ji Yan Yan onto it, played with him for a while, and then went back to his room to change clothes.
Ji Zhi Qiu only came to her senses after Lu Yu Nian had already left. Unable to see the tall figure, she looked around and opened the door, only to find Lu Yu Nian changing clothes without any warning.
The curtains were drawn inside, blocking out the bright sunlight, and the camera's indicator light was off.
Ji Zhi Qiu's heart skipped a beat, and she didn't care about anything else. After closing the door, she grabbed Lu Yu Nian's neck and threw him onto the bed.
The combined weight of the two caused the small wooden bed to creak under the strain. Lu Yunian, fearing that Ji Zhiqi might get hurt, reached out a hand to slow the momentum.
Ji Zhi Qiu didn't raise his head, his voice muffled: "Don't speak, let me bury it for a while."
Lu Yu Nian then relaxed his body, letting Ji Zhi Qiu rest peacefully in his chest muscles, and patted his back as if coaxing a child.
Lu Yu Nian's attitude made Ji Zhi Qiu feel wronged. She suddenly raised her head and accused, "You've gone too far!"
Lu Yunian was stunned by those words, and concerned about Ji Zhi Qiu's attitude, so he frowned.
Ji Zhi Qiu sniffed, "You seduced me!"
Lu Yu Nian: "..."
Ji Zhi Qiu became more and more confident as she spoke, "Didn't we agree that we wouldn't reveal our relationship in front of the camera? Then why are you wearing my favorite white shirt!"
"Even though you were wearing a white T-shirt underneath, I've seen you without anything underneath. You know perfectly well that the fabric of your shirt will become see-through after it gets wet, yet you still sweat in front of me!"
As Ji Zhi Qiu spoke, she started touching Lu Yu Nian's strong arm: "You even rolled up your sleeves. Your muscles were so beautiful when you were moving wood. I could only look but not touch, and I couldn't even look too boldly. Do you know how uncomfortable that made me?!"
Ji Zhi Qiu became more and more agitated as he spoke. Lu Yu Nian chuckled helplessly, pinched his earlobe, and even though he knew he was being unreasonable, he still wanted to coax him. "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have tested your patience. I shouldn't have worn a white shirt. I shouldn't have had muscles."
Upon hearing this, Ji Zhi Qiu's arrogance gradually subsided, and she buried her face in Lu Yu's chest muscles again.
As he gradually calmed down, the tips of his ears turned increasingly red. Thinking about what he had just done, he felt embarrassed to face Lu Yu Nian.
Lu Yu Nian noticed his thoughts and pulled his hand behind his waist. "It's okay, I'm willing to hear you say that."
Ji Zhi Qiu didn't raise her head, but just hummed a few times, blowing at him as if in retaliation, "Don't lie to me."
"real."
Lu Yu Nian's muscles tensed uncontrollably under the teasing of her breath, and the soft touch of her skin was gone. Ji Zhi Qiu raised her head this time.
Lu Yunian looked at him with a smile, which deepened over time.
Ji Zhi Qiu seemed to be complaining, but she was actually expressing her attachment to him.
Even if it's just for [the target].
This gave Lu Yu Nian, who had painful memories to himself, a great sense of security. As long as he could keep Ji Zhi Qiu, that was the best thing for him.
Ji Zhi Qiu was still unhappy. "Only I am like this, you are so calm."
"No." Lu Yu Nian whispered in his ear, his voice deep and magnetic, trembling with the warmth of his unique breath.
“You’ve been hanging around me all day, and I’ve been thinking the same thing.”
Ji Zhi Qiu paused for a moment, then subconsciously looked down at his chest. He hadn't deliberately worked out to get in shape; he wasn't exactly skinny, but there was nothing about him that anyone would be interested in.
Lu Yu Nian was charmed by her cuteness and chuckled softly, "Not there."
Where is that?
Ji Zhi Qiu's figure was reflected in his dark eyes. Lu Yu Nian reached out and played with Ji Zhi Qiu's small earlobe. For some reason, he was particularly fascinated by this spot.
"That day I saw it, my Qiuqiu, with long, straight legs and smooth skin, like melting cream to the touch. Holding your knee, fingers pointing upwards, I measured it inch by inch, until..."
Ji Zhi Qiu's face turned bright red, and she felt so hot that she was practically steaming. She quickly reached out and covered Lu Yu Nian's mouth to prevent him from saying anything more indecent.
He was so engrossed that day that he only remembered to feed himself and completely forgot what Lu Yu Nian had said. It wasn't until he looked down afterward that he realized his pants were gone.
He hadn't taken it to heart, but now that Lu Yu Nian was saying it, it sounded particularly erotic.
"I...I...I understand. You don't need to say anything more, and I won't let those long, white legs dangle in front of you anymore."
Lu Yunian was pleased that he had a correct self-awareness. He pressed the back of his hand against his burning face to help him cool down. "So these are all normal reactions, a sweet torment. I feel the same way as you."
Hearing Lu Yu Nian admit it himself, Ji Zhi Qiu finally felt a little better.
The variety show recording only lasted a week, but they had plenty of time together and could spend a lot of time together in private.
With this in mind, Ji Zhi Qiu's ambition and sense of responsibility immediately took over, and she got out of bed. "We can't stay in there for too long. Yan Yan and the others will get worried if they can't see us."
Lu Yu Nian nodded, immediately changed into new clothes, and accompanied him inside.
Ji Zhi Qiu walked to the door, then suddenly stopped, glanced at him quickly, looking somewhat embarrassed, and murmured softly, "I will try my best to be patient."
As soon as he finished speaking, he grasped the doorknob, but before he could exert any force, a hot and strong hand gripped his shoulder and gently pressed him against the door.
A kiss falls, like a dragonfly skimming the water.
Lu Yu Nian's gentleness was almost unfair, his breath stirring Ji Zhi Qiu's heartstrings, "Use this to support yourself for now."
"I'll continue tonight."
