Alternative Group Variety 5
Duan Mingfei was puzzled: "Isn't it two days and one night? It's only noon now. Is there any problem with Group A?"
This was the only possibility Duan Mingfei could think of.
There are two older people in the team. Qiao Pengyi is several years older than Xuan Yushu and his physical strength is definitely worse than Xuan Yushu.
We spent two consecutive days just drinking river water and didn't eat much. How could we reach the destination early and complete the mission on an empty stomach?
Wei Chengwen shook his head: "Group A is fine."
Wei Chengwen also saw what Duan Mingfei was thinking, and thought that the situation of Group A was the same as his, so he simply said: "The mission has ended means that Group A has successfully completed the mission, so your mission ended in failure."
Duan Mingfei's pale face showed an expression of obvious shock.
"This......" How is this possible? !
Each team brought a burden, and the burden in Group A was even worse than that in Group B. How come Group A arrived half a day earlier?
Thinking about his performance over the past day and a half, Duan Mingfei became even more irritated and anxious.
After separating from Group A, he got lost in the forest and had to use his first opportunity to ask for help to get the correct route; when he had to cross the river, he tried to make a bamboo raft on the shore, but he had no dagger to cut the bamboo, so he tried to break it by brute force, but couldn't do it after trying for half a day. Finally, he had no choice but to use his second opportunity to ask for help and was hung by a helicopter to cross the river alone.
Duan Mingfei knew that he had performed poorly, so he didn't dare to speak his mind and forced a smile.
“It’s such a pleasant surprise and I’m really happy for them and for the kids in the mountains as well.”
Duan Mingfei took off the white flag on his back and handed it to Wei Chengwen, looking relieved: "This way, Director Xuan and I don't have to continue to be bad guys. Return the props."
[Hey, I didn’t expect that I would complete the task ahead of time~]
[Eh, he said it as if he could stop it. Duan Mingfei's face looked really thick. 】
[You fans are really speechless. Why do you always make malicious interpretations? My brother Ming is clearly happy for Group A sincerely. 】
[You Ming fans, if you have time to complain here, why not go to the hot search topics and complain? The recording of the former assistant's revelations has been up for two days~]
Wei Chengwen: “…”
He speaks as if he can really stop it, but he is really flattering himself.
"The show is over, let's get on the helicopter."
Wei Chengwen walked behind Duan Mingfei and took off his water bottle: "Drink some water first."
Since he became a coach on the "Across the Primeval Forest" program, this was the first time he saw his friend, with whom he had partnered so many times, being tormented like this.
Duan Mingfei is really unique. He spent a day and a half just drinking water, and that water was from the river. Fortunately, Wolong Mountain has not been polluted, otherwise people with weak health would probably suffer from dehydration.
"Thanks, Old Wei." Xuan Yushu drank all the water in the kettle in one breath, but his stomach was still growling with hunger.
Wei Chengwen took back the kettle, turned around and saw Duan Mingfei still standing there, frowning in confusion: "Is there any problem?"
The helicopter's rope ladder was not far away. Didn't Duan Mingfei see it?
Duan Mingfei's mouth was dry, but it was obvious that no one was going to give him water. Duan Mingfei could only endure it in the face of his poor performance: "No, I'm waiting for Xuan Dao."
"I'm sorry Xuandao, you've suffered with me these past two days. It's all because of my uselessness."
Looking at Duan Mingfei's apologetic look, Xuan Yushu said in front of the camera in the live broadcast room: "What nonsense are you talking about? There is no need to apologize to me. I'm fine and I'm not suffering."
Xuan Yushu thought to himself: Haha, he never wants to see Duan Mingfei again in his life!
Duan Mingfei ran to Xuan Yushu's side and supported Xuan Yushu's arm: "Director Xuan, let's get on the rope ladder quickly."
Xuan Yushu: “…Yeah.”
[Sisters, hurry up and eat melons. Yesterday, the studio refuted the rumor that the recording was fake, and now they have directly released the video. 】
[Wow, director Xuan is still the best. Unlike some people who take advantage of others’ misfortunes, director Xuan should just call our brother Ming next time if he has any problems. Brother Ming is the most loyal and will always be there to help! 】
[Wait...the propaganda director still needs someone to save the situation? Whenever there is a role missing, aren’t all the artists rushing to audition? Are you Ming fans sure? 】
[What do you know? How can our brother Ming be the same as your brothers and sisters? Don't praise your own company, OK? 】
[Hand in your resume to the director. My brother Ming can sing, dance and fight. He is hardworking, motivated and obedient! 】
The audience who came back from watching the show saw the screen full of comments from Duan Mingfei's fans bragging about themselves, and they laughed all over the screen.
Duan Mingfei’s fans didn’t understand what the audience was laughing at for a while, until they saw the trending searches and came back, and then they calmed down a lot.
Hu Jiayan and Wei Chengwen led members of Group A and Group B respectively to leave Wolong Mountain and meet up at the live broadcast base camp.
The helicopter landed on the flat ground on the cliff, and the team leader and guests lined up to get off the helicopter one by one.
The faces and arms of the trainees who came out behind Qiao Pengyi and Hu Jiayan were covered with traces of green and brown mosquito repellent grass juice. If you look closely, you can see a few mosquito bites here and there.
But apart from these, the group looked in good condition and did not look at all embarrassed, which was in stark contrast to Duan Mingfei and Xuan Yushu from Group B who got off another helicopter at the same time.
There were many red mosquito bites visible on Duan Mingfei's exposed skin. People with trypophobia would feel their scalp tingling when seeing them. He looked unhappy and his lips turned pale.
The people in groups A and B looked at each other, with a helicopter behind them.
Xiang Yueting stared at the mosquito bites on Duan Mingfei's body with wide eyes: "Hahaha, I didn't expect that there is someone who is more popular with mosquitoes than me. I am mentally balanced now, hahaha..."
Song Chengwang covered his face, rarely showing any sarcasm, and his expression was a little ugly: "What did I do wrong as a trypophobic to have to read this? I have goose bumps."
Shang Yu looked at the two people in Group B. From their mental state and complexion, he could easily infer that they had not eaten for a long time.
Listening to the laughter of his friends, Shen Xiu's eyes couldn't help but fall on Duan Mingfei.
Seeing Duan Mingfei's body full of mosquito bites, Shen Xiu couldn't help but feel secretly happy. He couldn't help but stare at Duan Mingfei, wanting to look at him a few more times to prolong his happy time.
Facing Shen Xiu's chilling gaze, Duan Mingfei felt even more embarrassed, especially when he saw how energetic Group A was.
Is this the show he was so eager to be on? Duan Mingfei doubted his life.
It’s obvious that every artist who participated in the show before, whether they were losers or winners, attracted a lot of fans, but why did it become like this when it was his turn?
Duan Mingfei was the first to look away, and despite the discomfort, he pretended to be relaxed and looked down the mountain, changing the subject: "Where is that down there? It's so beautiful."
A simple tent was built on the open flat ground on the cliff where several people were. Looking down from the cliff, one could overlook the entire Wolong Mountain. The mountains were rolling and really beautiful.
Xuan Yushu looked at Duan Mingfei strangely, and his suspicions were confirmed.
Sure enough, Duan Mingfei had not memorized the map of Wolong Mountain at all, and it was no accident that they got lost and had to feed mosquitoes in the forest for a long time.
Xuan Yushu looked at Duan Mingfei and smiled: "Little Duan, didn't you see that the Wolong Mountain is below? From here you can overlook the entire Wolong Mountain."
After hearing what his idol said, Shen Xiu wanted to say something, but he was too nervous to say anything pleasing, so he could only nod obediently to agree with his idol: “Yeah!”
Xuan Yushu didn't expect that Shen Xiuren, who looked so cold, would agree with his words. Could it be that... he wanted to join him in making fun of Duan Mingfei?
Well, that must be it!
Duan Mingfei's face turned red when he heard this. Xuan Yushu was angry that he had starved him for two days. It was okay for him to imply, but why did Shen Xiu join in the fun? That's too much of a vengeance!
Feeling irritated, Duan Mingfei quickly excused himself: "I was a little dazed because I was hungry for too long. I didn't see the whole picture so I didn't see it for a while."
【Really? I don't believe it. 】
[Believe it or not, try going hungry for two days. It is completely normal to feel dizzy and blurred vision after being hungry for a long time. 】
[Why are you hungry? Is it because you don’t want to eat? Nonono, it’s true that we can’t eat them. There was clearly a bunch of wild kiwis the size of little fingers that Group B passed by. Hey, you Brother Ming just didn’t know which ones to eat. Who can we blame? 】
[There's also the August bomb, hanging above his head, and he doesn't even know to pull it down to eat. It makes me feel so sorry to see it. 】
As soon as Duan Mingfei finished speaking, the staff of the program team had already placed the food in the middle and greeted everyone: "Everyone, it's time to eat."
Because Group A completed the task that was supposed to be completed in the evening ahead of schedule beyond the expectations of the program team, lunch was provided by the program team.
The lunch provided by the program team was obviously bought from the village. It only consisted of roasted sweet potatoes and steamed pumpkin. Chopsticks were not provided and people had to eat directly with their hands.
Seeing the food, Shen Xiu saw the four seniors from the program team reaching out before he reached out and took a potato, peeled it and started eating.
Song Chengwang sat next to Shang Yu, and Chen Xiu sat opposite Shang Yu. Song Chengwang blew on the sweet potato in his hand while watching the movements of Chen Xiu and the two coaches, and comparing them with the movements of Shang Yu next to him.
Song Chengwang on the opposite side kept staring at him, and Shen Xiu felt inexplicably guilty when he took the second potato.
Could it be that... Song Chengwang felt that he had eaten too much?
But considering the potatoes, sweet potatoes and pumpkins, everyone can get five portions of each, so I shouldn't have eaten too much, so...
While Chen Xiu was peeling the skin, he secretly observed the others and found that no one had finished eating the first one yet, and he suddenly realized something.
It turned out that I was too hungry and ate too fast, which attracted Song Chengwang's attention!
In order to prevent Song Chengwang from looking at him, Shen Xiu deliberately controlled his eating speed to keep pace with everyone else.
Shang Yu could no longer bear it and whispered, "You've been watching for a minute, aren't you satisfied? When have you been procrastinating? If you have something to say, just say it now."
Chen Xiu could stand being stared at while eating, but Shang Yu couldn't.
Song Chengwang whispered, "Tell me honestly, have you all practiced this?"
"Coach Hu, Coach Wei, Chen Xiu, you, the three of you are so handsome and fast in skinning and eating, as if you are used to this kind of life."
Shang Yu replied calmly: "Yeah."
During special training, there were islands, deserts, rainforests... There were more than one group of people around us, and dangers were everywhere. Eating naturally could not take up too much time, and it was not an exaggeration to say that we ate like a wolf.
Now that I am in this kind of environment and have just come out of the forest, memories are eroding my brain. It is normal that I can't help but carry on with my old habits when eating.
Song Chengwang: "......"
Suddenly I feel so unworthy! Why did he act like a spoiled brat and refuse to go when he was fifteen? Look, he is far behind Chen Xiu and Shang Yu!
Song Chengwang was angry with himself and bit a big piece of sweet potato to vent his anger: "Ah, it's hot, hot, hot..."
Hearing Song Chengwang's voice, Shen Xiu subconsciously glanced at Song Chengwang, then realized that he forgot to remind his friends not to eat too fast or it would burn their throats.
Song Chengwang was scalded and the noise was so loud, everyone should know about it, right?
Chen Xiu shifted his gaze away from Song Chengwang, glanced around calmly, and found that everyone was looking at Song Chengwang. He thought that if that was the case, then he didn't need to say anything more.
Song Chengwang spit the sweet potato in his mouth onto his hand in a panic, then met Shen Xiu's indifferent gaze, and felt even more withdrawn.
Although Chen Xiu only glanced at him, Song Chengwang felt that he could taste the confusion of "how could a meal burn one's mouth" from Chen Xiu's cold eyes.
The guest team leaders and coaches all sat together. After Hu Jiayan ate two meals to fill his stomach, he began to ask questions in turn according to the program procedures.
Hu Jiayan's eyes fell on the team leaders: "As the two team leaders who have been with the two team leaders from beginning to end, Teacher Qiao and Teacher Xuan, do you have anything you want to ask your respective team leaders?"
After listening to Hu Jiayan’s words, Qiao Pengyi seemed to have been holding it in for a long time, and couldn’t wait to ask Shen Xiu.
“Chen Xiu, according to what you said on the way, did you already know in your mind what time and where you would appear before you set out?”
Shen Xiu nodded when he heard this: "Yeah."
Chen Xiu was embarrassed to say that he had a little bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Before doing anything, he was used to arranging things into small pieces at the beginning, down to the details of what time to arrive at what place. In this way, when the task was completed, he would be secretly happy.
Qiao Pengyi gave Shen Xiu a thumbs up: "Great!"
"But I still find it strange. How can you be sure that we will be at the place you want at the time you want?"
The sentence he was going to say this time was a bit long. Shen Xiu paused for two seconds, organized his words in his mind, and then spoke: "Calculate based on everyone's walking speed."
Qiao Pengyi was speechless. It was just a mission to hike through the forest. Who could have thought that Chen Xiu was so serious about it and even calculated based on their pace?
No one doesn't like serious people. In addition to admiration, the people present looked at Shen Xiu with appreciation that they couldn't hide.
Xuan Yushu couldn't help but speak out: "Old Qiao, don't ask anymore, I'll ask."
Hearing that his idol wanted to ask him a question, Shen Xiu unconsciously straightened his body. Although he was nervous, he couldn't help but look at Xuan Yushu expectantly, waiting anxiously for the question.
As soon as Xuan Yushu finished speaking, he met Shen Xiu's cold gaze and couldn't help but sit up straight: "I just ask a question."
"You ask!"
Xuan Yushu: "If you had taken the same route that Xiao Duan and I took at the beginning, would you have completed the task faster?"
So this is what you are asking. Shen Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Yes."
"Group A's route is shorter than Group B's route."
Duan Mingfei finally found an opportunity to speak: "Although it is short, we will encounter a big river, which will take up a lot of time."
Shen Xiu was not very happy that Duan Mingfei interrupted his conversation with his idol, and he thought Duan Mingfei's answer was very strange: "Three opportunities for help, isn't it easy to use a helicopter to lift it over?"
When planning route A, Chen Xiu decided to use up an opportunity to ask for help. After all, Chen Xiu was not sure whether he could cut down the bamboo forest by the river. In an uncertain situation, he would of course choose to ask for help without hesitation.
Duan Mingfei was choked: "......"
Did Shen Xiu do this on purpose? Wouldn't it make me look like a fool for wandering by the river for a long time, even trying to make a raft, and finally having to ask for help?
Xuan Yushu had no intention of helping Duan Mingfei out, so he asked Chen Xiu curiously, "What if you have to go down a steep slope? And ask for help?"
Shen Xiu shook his head and repeated what he had thought in his mind: "The map is very detailed, and there are small pictures of the scene. The steep slope is not very steep, and it is easy to go down with a rope."
There is no need to ask for help.
After hearing this, Xuan Yushu no longer wanted to care about Duan Mingfei's face and asked directly: "Why am I not in Group A!"
When Shen Xiu mentioned the rope, the audience in the live broadcast room suddenly remembered that Duan Mingfei's rope had never been used once.
[If you don’t understand, just ask, what role did the rope on Duan Mingfei play in this live broadcast? 】
[Uh... added weight to Duan Mingfei? 】
[Hahaha, the damage still depends on the stupid neighbors at night.] 】
[As our cultivators guessed at the beginning, every step was within the calculations of the cultivation team! 】
Qiao Pengyi seemed to remember something: "By the way, Lao Xuan, what are you eating these two days?"
Qiao Pengyi was talking about something irrelevant, and Xuan Yushu said in a closed manner: "I drank river water."
Qiao Pengyi: ".......Hahaha, don't stare at me, Lao Xuan. I really can't help it. I didn't even have the nerve to tell you that we ate delicious loquats and wild chestnuts, hahaha..."
As for water, they encountered small mountain streams along the way, but Chen Xiu did not allow them to drink it, for fear of getting a stomachache after drinking.
After hearing what Qiao Pengyi said, Xuan Yushu wanted to hit someone.
From these few words, it was not difficult for Duan Mingfei to guess that the lives of Group A and Group B in the past two days were very different. He stopped talking to them to make himself bored, endured the embarrassment, lowered his head and ate in silence, trying hard to create an isolated, lost and miserable appearance.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the symposium ended and the program team sent the guests away from Wolong Mountain.
After leaving Wolong Mountain, Chen Xiu and the others got on the car that the "Young and Invincible" production crew came to pick them up. It was another bumpy ride from the off-road vehicle to the plane, and they got off the plane at nine o'clock the next morning.
In order to avoid causing unnecessary congestion at the airport and delaying other people's travel, the nine people left the airport separately, fully armed, secretly got on the program crew's car, and headed to the training camp.
Duan Mingfei got off the plane later than the nine others and arrived at the airport at noon. As soon as he came out, Duan Mingfei saw a large group of fans waiting for him outside, which made him feel a little comforted.
I thought my attempt to play the victim worked, as quite a few fans came to pick me up at the airport. Looking over, it was a huge crowd, with cameras, and it seemed that quite a few fangirls were there as well.
After adjusting his facial expression, Duan Mingfei walked towards his fans with a depressed look.
“Here it comes!”
"Hey, don't squeeze me!"
"You stepped on my foot..."
Duan Ming quickly came to the fans, frowned and advised: "Mingbao, don't..."
Before he could finish his words, microphones were all taken out from behind the fans who came to pick him up at the airport and thrust in front of Duan Mingfei.
Countless questions bombarded Duan Mingfei.
"Is the fake sandbag video that your former assistant leaked true? Did you really use a fake sandbag to deceive your fans? Are you really like your assistant said, you can't even lift an 80-pound actress?"
"The words you said in the recording when you called your fans idiots are what you really think, right?"
"You can't even lift a bucket of water. Did you also fake the scene in the Reuters video of "That Summer" where you carried the heroine in your arms like a princess?"
"Excuse me, do you have anything to say about Lin Jiashi's support for you? Did you know Lin Jiashi before?"
"I heard that Lin Jiashi also signed with your company, did you know that?"
"Duan Mingfei, look here, look here. Many of my fans want to take a photo with you."
Duan Mingfei was confused by the questions one after another. Duan Mingfei did not expect that there would be not only entertainment reporters but also people doing live broadcasts. They were really... a bunch of lunatics!
"Please make way, disperse, disperse, those who are innocent will be cleared, those are all groundless fake news, friends in the media, please don't believe them..."
Du Heng and his assistant struggled to push through the crowd and pulled away Duan Mingfei, who was confused by the questions.
Du Heng didn't understand what was going on. The 'fans' who had come to the airport to pick up Duan Mingfei and make him happy suddenly turned into a group of entertainment reporters.
Moreover, when he and his assistant came in, someone bumped into them and splashed them with milk tea. They had to go back to change their clothes, but just a little bit late, Duan Mingfei was blocked.
This was all too coincidental, and Du Heng didn't believe there was no trick going on. However, Duan Mingfei was angry, so Du Heng didn't dare to mention it. He could only apologize and say it was his own mistake.
Ten minutes later, in the underground parking lot.
In the nanny car, Duan Mingfei was browsing his phone with a gloomy face. After reading the hot searches about himself in the past two days, especially seeing his name and Lin Jiashi appearing together on the hot searches, his face became even uglier.
"No, who is this Lin Jiashi?" Looking at the Weibo post posted by Lin Jiashi, Duan Mingfei began to doubt his life.
After so many years in the circle, he has always been the one sucking the blood of others, but this is the first time that he has been sucked blood by others.
Du Heng whispered, "The trainees who were eliminated when the first ranking of "Young Invincible" was released."
When Duan Mingfei was filming, because of Shen Xiu, Du Heng watched the live broadcast of "Young Man Invincible" from the beginning to the present, and naturally understood Lin Jiashi's approach.
"He wanted to replicate your success in 'Young Man Invincible', but he failed and was eliminated."
If you ask him, Lin Jiashi was just unlucky to have met Chen Xiu. Chen Xiu was strong and unyielding, and he made the entire program crew seem like they were injected with chicken blood. The program crew would make trouble before every vote. It was impossible to stay in the program crew by slacking off or manipulating the program behind the scenes.
Duan Mingfei exploded all of a sudden.
"Who the hell is he? Is he worthy of imitating me?"
"Ming-ge, you're right, so he was eliminated."
Duan Mingfei was still not satisfied, so he picked up his phone again and looked at the hot topics. He saw that many of his fans had gone to support Lin Jiashi. Then he thought of the embarrassing behavior of mistaking the entertainment reporter for a fan at the airport, and he became furious.
He cursed out loud: "A bunch of idiots!"
"Brother Ming, don't be angry. We have already issued a statement saying that we didn't pay enough and that the former assistant deliberately edited the audio to discredit you. The production team of That Summer has also been contacted and will cooperate with us to clarify the matter."
"I just need you, Brother Ming, to reshoot the scene where you hug the heroine. This time, we'll use a body double. The body double for the heroine is very light, so there will be no problem."
In another car, in a well-insulated car, Shi Buwen listened and whispered to the audience in his live broadcast room: "Did you hear that? Now you should believe that I didn't reveal fake information, right?"
