Chapter 37 Desert Off-Road
Chen Jiayan struggled for nearly an hour before she was able to set up the tent. However, this simplest tent only had one space with no partition in the middle.
They were both grown up, and even though they were siblings, it was obviously inappropriate for them to sleep together.
Naturally, the program team would not make things difficult for the guests on such a matter, and immediately sent them simple tents.
Chen Jiayan had already spent a lot of effort to set up a tent by herself, and she really didn't want to set up another tent.
She thought for a moment and said to Chen Taining, "Xiaoning, I know you're tired, but you've been resting for so long. Why don't we set up your tent together?"
Chen Taining was still furious, and even more furious when he saw that he had to sleep in such a shabby tent. He immediately said angrily, "Since you've already set up one tent, it should be quick to set up another one. Can't you just set up your own?"
Chen Jiayan really wanted to curse back, but thinking about the character she wanted to establish, she could only force a smile and start setting up her tent again.
But this time she was finally much more familiar with it, and she had set it up in about half an hour. At this time, she was extremely tired and didn't bother to care about Chen Taining anymore. She just lay down in the tent and began to rest.
It was only evening now and she couldn't sleep, so she simply turned on her cell phone and went online.
She felt that she performed well and thought that she would be able to attract the sympathy of some netizens.
The initial comments from netizens were just as she expected; almost all of them sympathized with her difficulties. However, as she read on, she realized something was wrong.
Her "good brother"'s fans are actually attacking and slandering her!
Under their brainwashing, countless passers-by have turned against them, and her hard work and sympathy just now seemed like a joke.
Although Chen Taining's fans aren't exactly good people, I have to admit they have a point. Chen Jiayan's behavior really seems like a green tea fan.
I used to think a lot of Chen Jiayan's actions were weird, but now it makes sense.
[Although there is no evidence, I also think this understanding makes sense.]
Chen Jiayan, who had originally planned to go to bed early that night, was so angry that she couldn't fall asleep. When she closed her eyes, she was filled with attacks from netizens. It was not until dawn that she gradually fell asleep.
However, after only two hours, she was awakened by a noise. She turned on the front camera of her mobile phone and saw her extremely haggard self in the camera.
Chen Jiayan couldn't accept herself looking so haggard in front of the camera. However, the mission was about to start, and the bathroom built by the program crew was about 100 meters away from their camping area. She could only struggle to get up, covering her face and quickly running to wash up.
However, when she climbed out of the tent, she saw Gu Nansheng, who looked energetic, not far away.
At this time, Gu Nansheng had just washed her face, and there were even some water droplets on her hair. There was no trace of makeup on her face, but her appearance was already outstanding enough.
Compared to her own haggard appearance, Chen Jiayan felt very jealous. She unconsciously covered her face tighter with her hands and then ran quickly to the bathroom.
But the more she tried to hide, the more attention she attracted from netizens in the live broadcast room.
Although Chen Jiayan covered her face with her hands, I still saw her face when I had some free time. I have to say, she looked both ordinary and haggard.
This is what she really looks like without makeup. How could she have the nerve to market herself as a beauty before? Now she looks like just an ordinary girl.
[A true beauty is like Sister Gu, who is open and unrestrained. Have you seen Sister Gu? She is truly beautiful, even without makeup, she is still a beauty.]
[Sister Gu didn't shy away from the camera when she was washing up just now. She even made several funny faces at the camera. It was really hilarious.]
There's not much difference between Sister Gu's appearance before and after makeup; her facial features are already very delicate and attractive.
Chen Jiayan stayed in the bathroom for more than half an hour. It was not until the program crew notified the guests to gather that she reluctantly put down her cosmetics and walked out of the bathroom.
Chen Jiayan knew that she looked haggard, so she put on heavy makeup and red lipstick, and changed into the sports suit she had carefully prepared, looking passionate and youthful.
However, when she arrived at the gathering point and saw Gu Nansheng, who was still only wearing sunscreen without any trace of makeup, she felt as if she had punched cotton.
She cared so much about her appearance and dressed herself up because she didn't want to lose to Gu Nansheng, but Gu Nansheng didn't care about her at all.
Chen Jiayan only felt that the jealousy in her heart was growing stronger and stronger, and it was even about to cause her rationality, which she was proud of, to completely collapse.
Isn't Gu Nansheng very powerful? But she's still a weak woman after all. Too many accidents can happen in the desert.
Thinking of this, Chen Jiayan almost laughed out loud, until Xu Bo came on stage and announced the new task, which woke her up from her jealousy.
Chen Jiayan clenched her fists. If she had to go to hell, she would drag someone down with her.

Xu Bo, still the same, announced through the loudspeaker, "After a night of rest, I believe everyone has gained a better understanding of the desert. I know the previous missions must have been tiring, so today we're going to do something a little more relaxing."
After saying that, Xu Bo looked at everyone with a smile. He thought the guests would be very happy after hearing what he said. Then he announced the new challenge content when the guests were all in high spirits.
However, he didn't expect that the expressions on the guests' faces became even more serious, as if they didn't believe what he said at all.
Xu Bo touched his nose, feeling somewhat self-deprecating, and quickly continued, "Everyone, don't worry this time. Today's mission is truly a leisure mission. If you want to experience this project during your desert trip, you'll have to pay."
As he said this, he waved to the staff member beside him, and the staff member drove up a car as if he understood what he meant.
It is not entirely accurate to call it a car, because the body of the car is not covered with glass and is hollow on all four sides. There is a huge engine roar when it starts.
[What a cool car, what a cool voice! ]
I saw people riding something called a UTV when I was traveling in the desert before. It was quite expensive, about 300 yuan per ride. Director Xu certainly didn't seem to be kidding me this time; it's a common tourist attraction.
I've ridden it once before, with another driver, but it was even scarier than a roller coaster. I vomited after getting off.
This car can easily flip over if not operated properly, so it's a brave challenge. However, the production team should have considered safety precautions, so there's no need to worry about safety.
Ye Ze and Ye Ting are both car lovers and quickly recognized it. "Is this a UTV? Are we going to go off-roading in the desert today?"
Xu Bo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that a guest had finally paid attention to him. He said happily, "Ye Ze is right. This is a common entertainment activity in the desert and it is also a game for the brave. What we are going to play today is desert trekking!"
"Do you see those sand dunes over there? We're going to drive our UTVs up the dunes and then swoop down from them. We'll have most of the day training, and then at four in the afternoon we'll officially compete. The team that completes the track in the shortest time will win."
"Of course, driving is prohibited under the age of 18, so apart from Ye Ze's group, the drivers of the other groups are already clear."
After hearing the challenge rules announced by the director, brothers Ye Ze and Ye Ting felt a little embarrassed.
"Director, it seems like we two brothers are bullying the female guest. Of course, we don't look down on female drivers' skills, but we men are just a little stronger, and we both have ten years of driving experience. If we were to compete like this, we would feel guilty and think our victory was unfair."
After listening to this, Xu Bo smiled approvingly and said, "It does make some sense." Then he lowered his head as if thinking about what means he could use to make this competition fairer.
About half a minute later, he looked up, his eyes brightening. "How about we make it a little more difficult for you? There's a higher sand dune over there, with a steeper track. How about you go there?"
Ye Ze and Ye Ting followed Xu Bo's hand and saw another dune twice as high as the one in front of them. Although they were not afraid of heights, they were not particularly brave either. They immediately shook their heads and said, "There's no need to challenge that one. We just want to add a few seconds to our race time."
Xu Bo nodded. "That's right. We still need to discuss adding a few more seconds. After all, adding more would be unfair to you, and adding less would be unfair to the other guests."
Gu Nansheng looked at the UTV in front of her and the track not far away, feeling very excited. She hadn't ridden a UTV in a long time and really missed the thrill.
Listening to the conversation between the Ye Ze brothers and the director, she felt a little funny and a little touched. She didn't expect that the two brothers were so honest and would consider this point.
Gu Nansheng felt that with her level, she didn't need Brother Ye Ze to give up those few seconds, but since they were so kind, she wouldn't refuse. This could be considered as seeking benefits for other groups of guests, right?
Song Shuyi also smiled at this time and said, "I originally wanted to pretend to be noble and scold you for looking down on female drivers, but when I thought about my driving skills, I swallowed those words. Thank you two gentlemen for showing mercy."
Xu Bo couldn't figure out how much extra time to give the Ye Ze brothers' group, so the guests got in their cars and started practicing.

As an adolescent boy, Gu Beiming was already very interested in various vehicles. When he saw the red UTV assigned to them, he was very excited. He rushed to the front of the car and circled around it.
He looked at Gu Nansheng, his face full of regret, "Sister, I'll be able to open in just a few months!"
As a car lover, Gu Nansheng could naturally understand Gu Beiming's regret.
She took the car keys, put on her helmet, and got in the driver's seat. Then she extended her hand to Gu Beiming and said, "Xiaoming, it's okay. Get in the car. I'll take you." She thought for a moment and asked, "How do you tolerate speed?"
Gu Beiming recalled playing go-karts and roller coasters in the amusement park. He was not afraid at all at that time. Although sandboarding did look a bit exciting, it couldn't be that exciting, not to mention that it was a "weak woman" like his sister who was driving.
He nodded and said, "I can do anything. I can ride a roller coaster without blinking."
Gu Nansheng nodded with satisfaction, "As expected of my brother, get in the car."
Gu Beiming has always believed in Gu Nansheng's ability. After putting on his helmet, he got into the car without much hesitation. Then he felt the wonderful speed that he had not experienced in the past 17 years.
