Chapter 14 Chen Jiayan's Capsized Boat
Gu Nansheng didn't care about other people's shock or surprise. She quickly drove the speedboat to complete the tour around the island. Including the previous maintenance time, it took a total of two hours, and it was exactly lunch time.
Although the program team has stipulated that the competition time is five hours, they will not deny the guests lunch.
Even for the guests who were still competing, the production team paused the timer and gave them half an hour to pull the boat to the shore for lunch.
As for Gu Nansheng and the others, it was even more convenient. They packed up the meals provided by the program crew and took them back to the villa. They had a delicious lunch in the air-conditioned room, and after taking a shower, they took a nap for nearly an hour.
After getting up, they selected a movie in the audio-visual room in the basement of the villa and watched it while lying on the sofa.
Seeing the Gu siblings enjoying a leisurely afternoon, the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help but feel envious.
This morning I was saying how cool it was to watch the guests basking in the sun while I was enjoying the air conditioning in my room. Turns out I was the clown! The workers were so envious I cried.
[What's the difference between this and a vacation for the Gu siblings? Islands, beaches, and big villas!]
[With Sister Gu around, Xiao Ming won the entire game without any effort.]
As a fan, I was incredibly worried when I learned Xiao Ming was going to be on this show. This show is notoriously tiring, and Xiao Ming has a terrible temper. I was really worried he wouldn't be able to handle it and might have a tantrum. But now that Sister Gu is around, there's no chance of a tantrum at all.
After watching a movie, the game time officially ended.
After packing up, Gu Nansheng took Gu Beiming and set off for the gathering place. They looked neat and tidy, which was in stark contrast to the other three groups of guests.
Gu Nansheng was not surprised to see the guests with red faces from the sun, sweating profusely and drinking water frantically. Anyone would feel the same after spending five hours at the beach in the summer.
But what she didn't expect was that the most embarrassed guests were Chen Jiayan and her brother. Both of them were soaked in sea water and looked very embarrassed.
Gu Nansheng was full of questions. She remembered that they chose a sailboat. Isn’t a sailboat the fastest and most energy-saving vessel besides a speedboat?
Moreover, the Chen siblings were the last group they surpassed. How could they have gotten themselves into this state?
*
Chen Jiayan was also full of regret at this time.
After discovering that Gu Nansheng had inexplicably surpassed her again, Chen Jiayan no longer had the heart to show her elegance in the live broadcast room, but instead stepped on her feet to try to catch up with Gu Nansheng.
The speed of a sailboat is not very high under normal circumstances, but as long as the driver operates it properly, it can still run at a very fast speed.
So Chen Jiayan racked her brains to think of ways to speed up the sailboat and then adjust the angle of the sail.
It was a pity that she was just a novice. After a series of fancy moves, the sailboat not only failed to speed up but gradually tilted. In the end, she and Chen Taining were thrown directly into the sea.
Although she could swim, she was in the deep sea after all, and she choked on a lot of water because of her panic. Fortunately, the staff of the program crew who had been following them went into the sea and rescued them.
After being rescued, Chen Jiayan was soaked and in a terrible state. Her previous elegance and grace were all gone. She waited on the shore for nearly an hour before she dared to get on the boat again, but she did not dare to sail at full speed like before.
As a result, they were already delayed for nearly an hour, and coupled with the subsequent slowdown, they were eventually overtaken by the Ye brothers and Song Shuyi and her son, and took last place.
Seeing that Gu Nansheng was clean and refreshed and didn't seem to be suffering at all, Chen Jiayan felt very upset.
When she took the phone from the staff and found out what Gu Nansheng had done and the current trend of public opinion on the Internet, she became even more furious.
The internet trolls she sent out basically didn't stir up any public opinion, and this woman became so popular without her knowing, actually firmly occupying the first place on the hot search list and being sought after by so many people, while she spent money to push the hot search and only managed to stay in the fifth place for a few hours.
She clenched her fists. This couldn't go on any longer. She had to make sure that the brother and sister never had the chance to participate in the next recording.

Compared to Chen Jiayan's clear understanding, Song Shuyi's group and Ye Ze's group were much more confused.
When they saw Gu Nansheng and Gu Beiming appear in fresh clothes, their first reaction was that Gu Nansheng and the others had given up.
Song Shuyi thought about how Gu Nansheng and the others had finally won first place, but were tricked by the program crew into choosing a bad boat. It was quite pitiful to think about it.
She has always been chivalrous and immediately said, "Miss Gu, you and your brother can eat with us tonight. We don't have much food, so it might not be very sumptuous."
Ye Ting, who was standing by, heard this and, being a self-proclaimed gentleman, he also said with sympathy, "We can share as well."
[Hahaha, it turns out the goddesses and the gods don't even know that Gu Nansheng and the others have repaired the assault boat.]
[They just finished their mission easily and took a nap before coming here, okay? Unlike them, who spent so much time drifting in the sea.]
[They soon realized that they were the ones who were wronged!]
[I still have to say that they are both very kind. Seeing that the Gu family siblings had no food to eat, they offered to share.]
Gu Nansheng was also grateful for the goodwill shown by the two, even though they were worrying about something that didn't exist.
She first thanked them, "Thank you, but the production team probably won't allow us to share the ingredients privately, and we don't have any." Then she smiled and explained, "We didn't give up. I repaired the assault boat, and in the end we won first place."
After hearing Gu Nansheng's explanation, the four people showed shocked expressions on their faces.
Luo Qingyu instantly remembered the silhouettes he saw at sea and shouted, "Mom, I'm not dazzled. I saw Sister Gu and the others!"
He was a tech geek, and when he heard Gu Nansheng say that he had repaired the assault boat, his eyes lit up immediately.
He took out his phone and opened Weibo, and then saw the edited video of Gu Nansheng repairing the assault boat on the trending search.
After watching it, he said with admiration, "Sister Gu, you are so amazing. You can actually repair the assault boat!" He turned to Song Shuyi and said, "Mom, we should have waited for Sister Gu at the starting point. Then I could have seen Sister Gu repairing the engine. It would have been so interesting."
Song Shuyi was naturally aware of her son's tech geek nature, but after hearing his words, she couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "Xiaoyu, we were already in last place. Have you ever thought about what kind of ingredients we could get tonight if we had waited here any longer?"
Luo Qingyu had to admit that his mother was right. He stuck out his tongue and said embarrassedly, "Okay, Mom." But after thinking about it, he said, "But I think I can starve myself to watch my sister repair the engine!"
Then Song Shuyi hit Luo Qingyu's forehead with a club, "Your mother, I don't want to starve!"
Luo Qingyu rubbed his aching forehead, feeling aggrieved. He was just a geek who loved technology. What had he done wrong?
So, he turned to Gu Nansheng, "Sister Gu," and said, "Next time you need to repair something mechanical, you can ask me for help. I've learned a lot of related courses on my own, so I can definitely be a good assistant to you."
However, before he could wait for Gu Nansheng's answer, Gu Beiming, who had been standing by and hadn't spoken a word, spoke in a cold voice, "My sister only needs me. I'll be her helper. She doesn't need your help."
This little fat guy actually dared to come and steal his girlfriend! Did he think he was dead?!
After suffering a double blow from his mother and Gu Beiming, Luo Qingyu looked aggrieved.
As the person at the center of the incident, Gu Nansheng could see that Gu Beiming was jealous, but the fat boy didn't mean any harm and looked quite pitiful.
She thought about it and said to Luo Qingyu, "Okay, next time if there is a chance, let Xiao Ming be my assistant, and you can be Xiao Ming's assistant."
Luo Qingyu thought about it and thought it was a good idea. He immediately shouted excitedly, "Sister Gu, you are so nice. Remember to call me next time!"
Who wants a fat guy as an assistant?!
Gu Beiming wanted to say something else, but he couldn't bear to deny Gu Nansheng's words, so he could only maintain a cold expression, neither agreeing nor refusing.
After seeing this conversation, netizens in the live broadcast room laughed like crazy.
[Hahaha, who understands? Xiao Ming must be possessed by jealousy.]
Xiao Ming felt a strong sense of crisis. Someone actually dared to compete with me for my sister!
Even so, Xiao Ming didn't refute his sister's words. He really made me cry! He's definitely a sister complex.

Soon Xu Bo appeared again, followed by a staff member pushing a small cart full of ingredients.
Xu Bo smiled and said, "Everyone has worked hard today and achieved excellent results. The ingredients for dinner will be exchanged for the distance you sailed today. For every 10 kilometers you travel, you will receive one ingredient. I also want to emphasize that all guests must abide by the rules and not try to evade punishment by privately trading food. If caught, you will face severe punishment."
The guests all knew how many miles they had driven, and with a quick calculation they could tell how much food they would get.
Gu Nansheng and Gu Beiming completed a 60km trip around the island and obtained 6 ingredients. They chose pork, beef, shrimp and 3 kinds of vegetables.
The Ye Ze brothers drove nearly 40km and were able to obtain four kinds of ingredients. In the end, they chose chicken, beef, green peppers and potatoes.
Song Shuyi and his team drove nearly 30km and were able to obtain three kinds of food. As they expected to be the last one, they were very satisfied and chose beef, chicken wings and green peppers.
As the last one, Chen Jiayan's face changed. They drove less than 20km in total, and at most they could get two kinds of food. How could this be enough for the two of them?
Especially Chen Taining. He was very dissatisfied with the two meat dishes and one vegetable dish she cooked yesterday. He was already feeling aggrieved today and who knows what kind of trouble he will make tonight!
However, due to her personal image, she could not make trouble with the program crew and could only deliberately make an aggrieved expression in an attempt to gain their sympathy.
However, Xu Bo has been through a lot and has become immune to this. If he lets a guest off the hook as soon as he tries to play the victim, which guest will take the variety show rules seriously after that?
He immediately pretended not to see it and turned around to ask the staff to distribute the ingredients to the guests.
As a shrewd person, Chen Jiayan could see through Xu Bo's thoughts. She secretly hated this old-fashioned man. He was the only one who was noble and principled!
If he didn't have the talent to create a hit variety show, he would have been fired by the platform capital long ago.
She knew that it was impossible to get the ingredients by playing the victim, but after seeing the big bag of ingredients that Gu Beiming was carrying, she had an idea. She was hungry today, and she couldn't let the Gu siblings have an easy time!
Chen Jiayan deliberately leaned towards Gu Beiming, holding two lonely bags in her hands.
As soon as this contrast appeared, Chen Jiayan's publicity team once again understood her intention, and the live broadcast room exploded again.
Are the Gu siblings just going to watch Jiayan and Xiaoning starve? Can't they share some of the food they have with them?
The pile of food Gu Beiming had was probably enough for them to eat for several meals. It would be a waste if he didn't share it with others.
[This brother and sister are so selfish. The other guests thought they were last and were going to share their food with them. What about them?]
[Jiayan is so pitiful. She is usually so kind to everyone, but when she is in trouble, no one helps her.]
