The hotpot meal was thoroughly enjoyed, with laughter echoing throughout the campsite for nearly two hours.
The three of them had their stomachs stuffed full, round like ripe watermelons.
The shark fin soup, which I had been looking forward to, was now completely empty.
An Lan patted her belly contentedly, couldn't help but let out a burp, and then suggested, "Why don't we save this shark fin soup for breakfast tomorrow morning? It'll be warm and comforting."
Her voice carried a hint of languor and contentment.
Lu Fan and Ling Yue both nodded, after all, neither of them wanted to waste the delicious fish soup that they had put so much effort into making.
After a short rest, Lu Fan examined the tea leaves with great interest.
I can't quite figure it out, but it's nothing serious.
Immediately afterwards, he eagerly turned on the amazing solar-powered television.
The moment the screen lit up, what caught my eye was the classic 1986 version of "Journey to the West".
"Wow, it's this? This is amazing!" Lu Fan was so excited he almost jumped up. It's no exaggeration to say that he had watched this TV series since he was a child and never got tired of it.
Live broadcast room.
"It's Journey to the West! I love watching this stuff so much."
“When I was a child, I wanted to watch Journey to the West every day and thought I was Sun Wukong. But the elders said that if you watch Journey to the West, you will never amount to anything when you grow old.”
"It has to be said that this is a classic among classics."
"Of course, how could a CCTV production be bad?"
The three of them worked together to carefully move the television into the house, each finding a comfortable corner to sit down, eagerly anticipating the start of this audiovisual feast.
At that moment, familiar music came from the television.
"Episode 1: The Birth of the Monkey King"
An Lan's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had remembered some treasure, and she quickly ran over and grabbed the big box of snacks.
She plopped down, quickly opened the box, and a mountain of colorful snacks—potato chips, spicy strips, jelly, and chocolate—was piled up in front of her.
Looking at An Lan's actions with a puzzled expression, Lu Fan couldn't help but ask, "Weren't you already full? How can you still eat?"
His tone was full of confusion.
An Lan rolled her eyes at him and replied matter-of-factly, "Eating is eating, and snacking is snacking. How can they conflict? They are two different things!"
After saying that, she warmly invited Lu Fan and Ling Yue to taste it together.
Lu Fan quickly waved his hands, patted his stomach, and said with a wry smile, "No, no, I really can't eat anymore. If I eat any more, my stomach will burst."
Ling Yue smiled and shook his head, indicating that he had never been particularly interested in these snacks.
An Lan pursed her lips and said with feigned regret, "Since none of you are going to eat, then I won't be polite."
As he spoke, he tore open a bag of potato chips and began to eat them with a satisfying crunch, as if he were enjoying the most exquisite delicacy in the world.
The three of them stared intently at the television screen, completely immersed in the fantastical world of "Journey to the West".
Although all three had seen this classic work before, the charm of a classic is that no matter how many times you rewatch it, you can still enjoy watching it.
Just as they were engrossed in watching, a burst of chattering noise came from the courtyard.
The three of them instinctively turned their heads to look, only to see that the Monkey King had somehow entered the courtyard.
The Monkey King looked around in the yard, but couldn't see them, so he curiously strolled into the house.
Upon entering the room, the Monkey King was immediately captivated by the images on the television.
Especially when he saw Sun Wukong wielding his golden cudgel, looking so majestic, the Monkey King was so excited that he danced with joy.
It was jumping around and making noise, which startled the three people watching TV.
Lu Fan was the first to react, and greeted the Monkey King with a smile: "Hey, King Gigi, what brings you here!"
The tone was as if he were exchanging pleasantries with an old friend of many years.
As if it understood, the Monkey King waved its paws at Lu Fan a few times, then took off the basket on its back.
Upon closer inspection, everyone saw that the room was filled with all sorts of fruits: bright red apples, golden bananas, and glistening purple grapes... The aroma of the fruits filled the entire room instantly.
[Wilderness Survival Announcement]
Chinese contestant Lu Fan triggers a 10,000-fold return.
[Fresh Apples 6*10 Million]
【Fresh bananas 7*10 million】
[Fresh green pears 30 million]
...
It turned out that the Monkey King had come to bring them fruit.
Lu Fan was deeply moved and quickly thanked him. Then he rummaged through the pile of snacks and pulled out a bag of "Tang Monk's Flesh" to hand to the Monkey King.
The Monkey King stared at the strange package, looking bewildered, tilting his head back and forth as if he were studying some profound and mysterious object.
Lu Fan smiled and helped it tear open the packaging, gesturing for it to try it, and jokingly added, "Hehe, you're even more powerful than Sun Wukong, at least you can eat 'Tang Monk's flesh'!"
The Monkey King took a bite of the "Tang Monk's flesh" with some skepticism. After chewing a few times, he showed a look of disgust on his face, clearly not satisfied with the taste.
Seeing this, Lu Fan quickly took out two more jellies and handed them to the Monkey King.
This time, as soon as the Monkey King put the jelly in his mouth, his eyes lit up instantly.
It smacked its lips and ate with great relish, seemingly completely won over by the sweet taste.
After that, the three people and the monkey continued watching TV.
The Monkey King was completely absorbed in the show, his eyes glued to the screen. Seeing Sun Wukong's majestic appearance, he would occasionally imitate his movements.
His comical appearance made everyone burst into laughter, and a joyful atmosphere filled the room.
Before I knew it, I had already watched five or six episodes.
As the night grew deeper, Ling Yue couldn't help but yawn and stretch. He was always self-disciplined, and when it was time to rest, he prepared to go back to his room to sleep.
He smiled and said goodnight to everyone before turning back to his room, his footsteps gradually fading into the quiet night.
After a while, Lu Fan noticed that An Lan was also very sleepy. Her eyes were half-closed and she could barely keep them open. She would also doze off from time to time.
He chuckled softly and said, "Go to sleep if you're sleepy, and continue watching tomorrow."
After saying that, she gently turned off the TV, and the room instantly went dark, with only the moonlight streaming in from the window remaining.
When the Monkey King saw that the television screen had gone blank, he knew it was time to go home.
It looked longingly at the empty screen, then waved its paw at Lu Fan.
Lu Fan smiled and waved goodbye to it, reminding it, "Be careful on the road, come back to play again tomorrow!" His voice was full of concern.
As the Monkey King's figure disappeared into the night, the entire house gradually quieted down, as if shrouded in a veil of tranquility.
Soon, Lu Fan and An Lan both lay down on the bed.
As if they were of one mind, the two naturally and implicitly agreed to sleep in the same bed.
