The comments from viewers during the live stream were absolutely hilarious.
The moment the three tall, handsome men stood up, Nan Xi's heart broke.
[Yan Wang ran the fastest; what exactly did Nan Xi do to him to make him so terrified?]
Something must have happened at noon, otherwise the production team wouldn't have cut off the live broadcast for no reason, and these six people wouldn't have treated Nan Xi like that.
[Upstairs +1, if Nanxi hadn't personally told me she didn't want to go, I would have genuinely thought the six of them had bullied her.]
[Nan Xi is so pretentious, she's got a princess complex. What kind of status do these rich kids have? How could they possibly indulge her? The more they ignore Nan Xi, the more satisfying it is for me!]
The village chief drove the group to the shallow water beach, where it was already crowded with people.
Chu Yang jumped off the tricycle impatiently, but when it came time to distribute the tools, he regretted it terribly:
"How come I only took out two nets? How am I supposed to divide them?"
"Who knew that three more people would follow?"
Yu Xiangwan glanced at Xie Wanyi with disdain and said, "Take turns going into the water one by one. Don't try to be strong if you don't have the strength."
Exclamations came from not far away. A villager had caught a 20-pound mandarin fish. The net was too small to hold it, so he simply held the whole fish in his arms and ran back to the shore laughing all the way.
All six people who witnessed this scene were green with envy.
Chu Yang and Shen Yingyu were the first to pick up landing nets, and just as they were about to go into the water, the village chief carried a box of tools out of the interview vehicle. He placed three landing nets, two buckets, and a large fishing box on the ground:
"Why not take the fish that's been picked up for free? The river is no deeper than knee-deep. Hurry up and go down, or the fish will all be caught by others."
Jiang Hexi excitedly went to get the net, but when it was her turn, the last net was snatched away by Yan Jie.
"Ladies first."
"This kind of physical work is not for you to have priority."
Yan Jie stepped into the water, not forgetting to tell her, "Fill the fishing bucket with water and wait for me to come and release the fish."
Jiang Hexi stood by the fishing bucket, watching helplessly as he walked away with the landing net. Just as she was feeling frustrated, she saw Yu Xiangwan wading back.
"Wanwan, why did you come back empty-handed? Where are the fish and the landing net?"
"Actor Xie tore the net he was holding and then borrowed mine."
Yu Xiangwan emphasized the word "borrow" in front of the camera, almost implying that he had snatched it.
The two women watched enviously as the villagers scooped up one big fish after another, while they had nothing.
"Sis—, I caught a really big bluefish. I'll make soup for you tonight."
Jiang Hexi heard Chu Yang's shouts from afar. After he poured the fish into the fishing box, she looked at the mere two-pound grass carp and couldn't help but complain:
"There are so many people coming and going on the shore, but the fish you caught is the smallest. Bring me the net, and I'll catch you a big one."
Chu Yang immediately shielded the net behind him and took two steps back:
"It's already dark, it's not safe for girls to go into the water. Besides, even though the fish I caught are small, the older boys haven't caught a single one yet!"
Yu Xiangwan stood to the side and said with amusement:
"You're right, if we're going to steal, we should steal the nets of those who can't catch any fish."
"Sister Yu, I'll catch a fish for you and fry it."
After saying this ingratiating remark, Chu Yang turned and ran towards the shallow water.
Jiang Hexi saw headlamps twinkling on the riverbed, glanced at the darkening sky, and suddenly remembered something. She walked straight towards the crew members.
She reached out to the lighting technician and demanded, "Give me back my solar-powered flashlight."
The lighting technician was dumbfounded. "I didn't take your flashlight."
"impossible."
Jiang Hexi stated definitively, "With your lighting setup that's practically indistinguishable between bright and dim, when shooting night scenes, you wouldn't bring my powerful flashlight for illumination?"
The lighting technician couldn't refute her robber-like logic, because he did indeed have her flashlight with him. He opened his mouth tremblingly:
"Even if I brought your flashlight, you can't use it according to the show's rules."
"Doesn't the production team have any rules or regulations that prohibit staff from using guests' belongings without permission?"
Jiang Hexi forcefully stretched out her hand: "You brought my flashlight without permission. If you can use it, then I can use it too."
The lighting technician was speechless after being confronted by her, so he took out a solar-powered flashlight from his briefcase and handed it to her.
Jiang Hexi walked to the riverbank, turned on her solar-powered flashlight, and illuminated an area within a 20-meter radius.
Everyone fishing in the shallows turned to look at her.
Chu Yang exclaimed, "My dear sister!" and ran towards the light!
Yan Jie followed behind him, her left eyelid twitching violently twice. "She really is... a call of the light—"
[Hahahaha, watching Ximei's live streams every day, I'm laughing so hard I'll get an eight-pack!]
The moment the lights came on, I genuinely thought I had summoned Ultraman.
Why can she always be so funny with such a straight face?! And it just keeps coming back so fast!
[Family members, Ximei recommends this solar-powered flashlight! It's the most powerful reservoir fishing tool ever—you deserve to have one!]
The number of viewers in the live stream quickly exceeded 100,000, which startled Director Chen.
He walked to the riverbank and saw, in the corner of his flashlight's beam, the river weeds and pebbles were all clearly visible. Consumed by jealousy, he clutched his chest and said:
"You bought the flashlight I told you to buy from the link?"
"Director, didn't I tell you last time that this flashlight was sold out?"
The assistant director rarely said anything to him, but he said, "The flashlight that Xi-mei recommended, you actually dared to think of it? I don't know how many months' wait it would take to make an appointment."
Director Chen: "Have you rehearsed yet?"
The assistant director was stunned for a moment, then, feeling guilty, took out his phone and said, "Start arranging now."
Chu Yang waded through the water to the area illuminated by the flashlight and excitedly shouted, "Sister—!"
Jiang Hexi glanced at him, and said with an air of arrogance and pride, "Go ahead and fish."
The area was so well-lit that more and more people were gathering there to fish.
Jiang Hexi adjusted the flashlight with a few quick clicks, immediately reducing the illuminated area by half, barely reaching the area where Chu Yang and the other three were located.
"I only allow you guys to profit; no one else can even get a little bit of benefit."
A burst of maniacal laughter erupted in the comments section of the live stream.
[This flashlight's beam range can actually be adjusted! I'm absolutely blown away!]
[This is hilarious! In the live stream, a villager on the side was about to scoop up a big fish, the net went down, and then... nothing happened!!]
[Yes, yes, yes! I saw it too. That stingy Xi Mei, the light just vanished in a flash! The villagers were still shouting, "Where's my light? Where are my fish?"]
How does Xi Mei manage to be so stingy, arrogant, and stubbornly proud? I absolutely love her!
