Chapter Sixty-Two: Hidden Mission!
Looking at the treasure chest in front of him, the director took out 500 yuan from his pocket.
Qin Huai watched the director's swift movements, shook his head speechlessly, and saw that he had made a lot of money in the past few days, given how readily he took the money.
With all the ingredients prepared, it's time to see everyone's cooking skills. The production team didn't go overboard and provided the guests with some small barbecue tools.
Pei Yanchuan volunteered to handle the fish, while Xu Wang decided to go to the edge of the woods to see if he could find some branches to start a fire later that night.
Xia Yu and Qin Huai shared the same idea, and the three of them traveled together.
The ground in the woods was relatively flat, with many huge branches spreading out to the left and right, looking like a large protective umbrella from a distance. Sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, leaving several spots of light on the ground.
Xu Wang and the others gathered some dry branches. Xu Wang looked at the long branch in front of him, decisively put down the pile of branches in his arms, picked up the branch in front of him, and then lifted his right leg slightly. He held the branch with both hands and pushed down hard. The branch made a crisp cracking sound and was snapped in half.
Xia Yu watched excitedly from the side. He turned his head and saw that there were also long branches next to him. He wanted to imitate Xu Wang's action and bend them in a cool way. But before he could exert force with both hands, his hands were grabbed by Xu Wang's hands.
"What's wrong?" Xia Yu asked, looking bewildered.
“You have to choose the branches carefully. This branch of yours is solid. If you fall down on it, I think it won’t be the branch that breaks, but your leg.” Xu Wang handed the branch in his hand to Xia Yu.
The branches are hollow inside, and Xia Yu can see the scenery on the other side of the branches at eye level.
[That startled me; I thought I was about to witness a tragedy.]
[I agree, I've fallen into this trap before. I felt like my legs were about to break, and my brother was gloating and saying I deserved it. I'm not happy about it.]
[The person upstairs is definitely the older brother.]
[My wife's move just now was so cool!]
[@President Pei, could you please give me a fair chance to compete? I beg you.]
[If the person upstairs is actually tagging a real account, then I'll respect you. (Laughs while covering face)]
……………………
After the three of them collected the branches, they decided to walk around the area one more time before heading back together.
Just as the three of them had taken a quick look around and were about to leave, Xia Yu looked up and unexpectedly saw a golden treasure chest on a tree branch above her head.
The gleaming treasure chest shone brightly in the sunlight.
Xia Yu excitedly put down the branch she was holding and carefully climbed up the sturdy trunk.
"Be careful," Qin Huai warned, noticing the other person's slightly hurried movements.
"Don't worry, it's fine. This branch isn't very tall." Xia Yu, carrying the treasure chest, began to retrace her steps.
Just as he was about to land, an accident still happened. Xia Yu accidentally stepped on a stone at the base of a tree root, lost his balance, and swayed backward.
Seeing this, Qin Huai quickly ran towards the tree, but he was too late.
Xu Wang had already quickly climbed behind Xia Yu when he realized something was wrong. He let go of the branch in his hand and firmly supported Xia Yu's shoulder.
"Are you alright?" Xu Wang gently released his hand when he saw that Xia Yu was alright.
"You scared me! It's true what they say, you can't be too sure of things. Thank you, Xu Wang, you saved me again." Xia Yu patted her chest with a look of relief.
"It's alright." Xu Wang picked up the tree branch from the ground.
"Let's hurry back, or we'll keep them waiting." Qin Huai walked over to the two and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that they were unharmed.
The two nodded in unison.
Just as the three of them walked out of the woods and returned to the beach, Xu Wang's entire gaze immediately fell on Pei Yanchuan, who was squatting by the sea.
Pei Yanchuan deftly opened the small knife provided free of charge by the production team, and with a swift and precise motion, his slender index finger pressed firmly against the back of the blade, each cut so smooth and effortless.
Pei Yanchuan quickly finished processing the ingredients in his hands. The slightly bloody scene managed to keep netizens, fans, and haters occupied for more than half an hour.
[Isn't this better?]
[I was reminded of when my boyfriend was processing a snakehead fish; before he could even inflict a minor injury on it, he got bitten hard.]
[Haha, Big Black is known for his ferocity.]
That's absolutely right, and his pickled fish is famous.
[It's delicious! I just had it the day before yesterday, hahaha.]
[Damn, I've found another area where I can't compare to President Pei.]
[President Pei has successfully shown me the unevenness of the world. He's rich, handsome, and a great cook—is there any way for an alpha to survive?]
………………
After Pei Yanchuan finished tidying up, he turned around and saw Xu Wang running towards him. Pei Yanchuan took the branch from Xu Wang's arms with his free left hand.
Are you tired?
"Not tired," Xu Wang said with a smile, shaking his head.
It has to be said that Pei Yanchuan's cooking skills, honed by Uncle Wu, clearly stood out among the group. While the others had their fish grilled until they were black and charred, only Pei Yanchuan's fish was grilled to a golden brown and crispy perfection.
After finishing his meal, Xia Yu took out the golden treasure chest he had found. He bowed to it on the left and the right, and finally opened the chest with a sincere expression.
Inside the treasure chest was another card. Xia Yu held the card between her palms and slowly pulled it out. One zero, two zeros, three zeros…
Xia Yu jumped up excitedly, and with a surge of anger, she flipped open the card: 1000 yuan.
"Wow! We won!" Xia Yu excitedly pulled Hou Yunqi to the program crew's tent to redeem the prize.
As night fell, the moonlight shone on the beach, as if covering the ground with a layer of white frost.
The stars in the sky were reflected on the sea, occasionally trembling gently with the occasional ripples.
Inside the tent, Pei Yanchuan held Xu Wang tightly in his arms when suddenly a light footstep sounded around the tent.
Pei Yanchuan suddenly opened his eyes and listened quietly to the sounds outside the tent.
Ten minutes later, the footsteps outside the tent gradually faded away. Pei Yanchuan silently covered his lover in his arms with a blanket, his eyes dark and unfathomable, lost in thought.
The next day, the director woke up all the guests early. Today's group task was to explore an ancient castle in the forest. Legend has it that a secret key is hidden deep inside the castle, and only by finding the key can they leave.
While Xu Wang was washing up, the assistant director suddenly appeared quietly behind him.
The assistant director took a card from a small bag at his waist and handed it to Xu Wang.
The card was still hand-drawn by the director. The three pink hearts on the card were all different and drawn rather hastily. One of them even had a small hole because the coloring was too heavy.
[Hidden quest: Teacher Xu, during today's exploration of the dark castle, please successfully steal a kiss from President Pei three times.]
Xu Wang raised an eyebrow as he looked at the information on the card!
When this hidden mission was revealed in the live stream, the entire comment section went wild.
[Ahhh, I want to see kissing! I love seeing kissing!]
[Director, you really understand us!]
[The terrifying atmosphere, the kisses all felt like they were trampling on my heart.]
[Director, I declare you to be my absolute favorite director, bar none.]
[Hurry up and put out the food, I can't wait!]
[I wonder, will President Pei's icy face blush after being kissed? Ah, just thinking about it makes me excited!]
