Xia Tian laughed and said, "Haha! What's so strange about this? It's like a dog smelling a bone. It comes running over without you calling it."
Chen Qingqing frowned and said, "I used to think Xia Tian was thick-skinned enough, but now I realize that compared to Fang Wenxuan, Xia Tian's thick skin is still within the normal range."
Xia Tian complained with an embarrassed look on his face: "Chen Qingqing, are you still holding a grudge against us for letting you eat leftovers at noon?"
"If you want to complain about Fang Wenxuan, just complain. Why do you have to drag me into this?"
Chen Qingqing smiled and said, "I didn't say anything. I said he was thicker-skinned than you. Isn't this just trying to whitewash you?"
Xia Tian curled his lips: "Just forget it, do you think I'm Fang Wenxuan, you fool?"
"You're not trying to whitewash me, you're clearly trying to smear me. Everyone knows I'm a shy guy who just graduated from college. The thick-skinned thing you're talking about has nothing to do with me."
"Now if you compare me with Fang Wenxuan, what's left?"
"After all, if you compare two things together, even if the one that wins won't be a good one."
Before Chen Qingqing could say anything, Qiu Mengyun beside her couldn't stand it anymore.
"Xia Tian, you're almost there!"
"Qingqing just said that she used to think you were thick-skinned, and she didn't lie."
"Stop pretending to be innocent here. You're making us sick to death."
Xia Tian looked at Qiu Mengyun with resentment in his eyes: "Mengyun, I always thought you were the one who understood me the most. I didn't expect that after we have been together for so long, you still believe the rumors outside and have such prejudice against me."
"It really makes me sad."
Seeing Xia Tian acting like a bullied young wife, Qiu Mengyun rolled her eyes at him and ignored him.
He Yunting, who was sitting opposite, burst into laughter at the jokes: "Hahaha! Xia Tian, stop pretending. Didn't you see that your girlfriend couldn't stand it anymore?"
Brother Long also smiled and echoed: "Brother Xia, your acting skills are really amazing!"
"I think you could consider entering the entertainment industry. With your handsome looks, superb acting skills, and shameless demeanor, you're sure to become a huge star."
Xia Tian shook his head, then picked up his wine glass and said, "Alas! You don't understand me, I don't blame you!"
His words once again caused the people at the table to burst into laughter.
"Hey, what are you guys talking about? You look so happy?" Fang Wenxuan's words broke the joyful atmosphere.
Seeing him approaching, everyone shut up tacitly and stopped talking.
Everyone stared intently at the dishes on the table, concentrating on picking up their favorite dishes.
Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Fang Wenxuan's face twitched a few times.
In fact, he didn't want to come and try to please others.
After all, he still remembered the treatment he got after coming here at noon.
When he returned, he secretly vowed: Even if he starved to death, he would never go to their place for a free meal.
He also couldn't believe that the production crew could watch him faint from hunger.
As long as I don't eat, the people in the program crew will definitely find a way to get me something to eat.
It was a good idea, and he did it that way.
After returning from work in the fields, he lay on the bed and started playing with his cell phone.
As time passed and the sky gradually darkened, no one came to care about him.
Not to mention the staff of the program crew, even his partner Chen Qingqing did not come back.
He wandered around the room depressed for a while, but finally couldn't resist the protest of his stomach and walked towards the room where the program crew was.
As soon as I walked in, I saw this group of people gathering together to eat hot pot.
He greeted them with a smile and wanted to go over and join them for a meal.
It seemed like they had already seen through his thoughts. Before he even sat down, a staff member said, "Teacher Fang, if you want to come and chat with us, that's fine."
"But if you want to eat for free, I'm afraid that's not possible."
"The production team has a rule: on this farm, you have to rely on yourself for food, clothing, housing and transportation. We can only provide you with the necessary tools or materials, but we can't directly help you complete the task."
"If you're short of ingredients for cooking, you can go to the vegetable garden in the back. We also have rice, flour, grain, and oil in the warehouse, so you can withdraw them yourself. But we really can't give you the prepared meals."
After hearing what the other party said, Fang Wenxuan knew that his plan to come here for a free meal might not work.
He quickly laughed and said in defense: Haha! What are you talking about? How could I come here to eat for free?
"Of course I know the program team's rules, and I certainly won't do anything that violates them."
"I came here this time because I feel sorry for everyone who has followed us to this remote place."
"I'm worried that you won't have enough to eat, so I came to see if you need any help."
"If you can't cook, I can help you make a few dishes."
Hearing his words, the expressions of several people at the scene changed immediately.
The hot pot in front of me doesn’t seem to taste good at all.
The leading staff member quickly declined, saying, "Thank you for your concern, Teacher Fang. We are just rough people and can just deal with a few bites. There is no need to trouble Teacher Fang to do it personally."
"We don't have anything to do here, Teacher Fang, please go and get busy!"
Fang Wenxuan could naturally hear that the other party was trying to drive him away.
He chuckled, said hello casually, and left in frustration.
As soon as Fang Wenxuan left, everyone in the room started talking.
"Oh shit! I was so scared just now, I was afraid that Brother Zhang would really agree to let him cook for us."
"Get lost! Do you think I'm stupid? I wouldn't dare hire a high-end chef like him who likes to preserve the original flavor of the ingredients."
"Humph! From what I see, he must have been unable to get a free meal from us, so he wants to take revenge on us."
"Haha! Never mind, we just need to eat and drink our fill. The director's arrangement this time is really good. All the guests are gathered on this farm, so we don't have to run around everywhere, which makes our work much easier."
"That's right! Not only is the work easy, but it also frees up manpower to cook your favorite meals."
"Ah! If you ask me, the most enjoyable thing is to be with those guests from summer. You don't know, their life is really comfortable. On the table, there are crayfish, snails, stir-fried meat, roasted eggplant, everything. It's even better than what we eat when we go out to eat."
"Don't mention it. Just now, when Xia Tian was cooking, I was filming right next to him. The smell was so delicious that it made my mouth water."
"Don't worry about it. We're lucky to have something to eat. It's better than that hungry Fang Wenxuan!"
"That's right. Although we are not as good as them, we are still more than enough compared to Fang Wenxuan."
