“I’m 26 years old,” Tian Mei told Zhou Lian, her eyes sparkling with optimism. “Is it because everyone thinks I’m too young to handle anything big? I can learn, you know. I really can.”

Zhou Lian was speechless. ‘Why didn’t Tian Mei get it? Even after all the talk about age, she remained oblivious. I should just let it go.’

“Xia Xin, if there’s anything I can do to help, just say the word,” Zhou Lian offered.

“Would you like to come with me to find something to eat?” Xia Xin asked.

[Now why does it sound so much more pleasant when Xia Xin talks to Zhou Lian than when with Tian Mei?]

[Tian Mei has a sugary voice that would sound charming if she cooed, but the minute I remember her face, that voice seems lethal.]

[Ah, the imagery. Please stop, you’re killing me!]

“I can assist you while Xu Zhi and Jing MO go find food,” Zhou Lian suggested.

“We can wait for them here.’

[The way they are behaving, I feel like they’re waiting for their husbands to return from hunting in ancient times.]

[That’s so vivid! If they were in historical costumes, it would definitely look great.]

[But wearing historical costumes for this event wouldn’t be appropriate; it’s not practical.]

[True, let’s just watch and stop talking.]

Xia Xin chuckled as well. “We could also take a walk around the area; we don’t have to wait here.”

“Can I join? I promise to be well-behaved,” Tian Mei interjected.

“Sure,” Xia Xin agreed.

Zhou Lian wanted to say something but caught Xia Xin shaking her head. To Xia Xin, Tian Mei’s persona was irrelevant. At most, she was curious about Tian Mei’s makeup skills; she’d already asked and had received no answer. And that was that.

Lu Shi, noticing Xu Zhi and Jing MO preparing to leave, hastily caught up. “You’re going to look for food? I’ll come too. Didn’t the director say we’re splitting into two groups this morning?”

Neither Xu Zhi nor Jing MO responded. They just continued working, each with a bucket in hand, while Lu Shi stood empty-handed. They reached the riverbank and Lu Shi’s face lit up at the sight of water. “I’ll go take a bath and catch up with you after.”

Lu Shi hurried off, leaving Xu Zhi and Jing MO to their tasks.

[Why does it feel like there’s something off between Xu Zhi and Jing MO?]

[I seem to have that feeling too. Is it just an illusion?]

[It must be an illusion. I think these two are doing well; they’re working hard.]

[The strange thing is that they work hard, but there’s no communication between them. Did you notice that they’re working separately?]

[Oh, yeah, I remember the segment with the audience last night. Someone asked if they weren’t getting along, and Xu Zhi’s management company made it clear they wouldn’t invest in their projects, right?]

[Exactly, that’s the one.]

[I can’t stand this weird atmosphere anymore. I’d rather watch the old lady being cute.]

[Right, right. Let’s go see how that old lady with her self-esteem intact is doing. I feel embarrassed for her. I wonder if she’ll get even more wrinkles on her face when she finds out the truth later.]

When Lu Shi returned, the others had already left. He was irate and asked the cameraman where they went. The cameraman told Lu Shi that Jing MO and Xu Zhi had returned to the campsite.

Lu Shi frowned. ‘They went back?’

He quickly returned to the campsite, and upon seeing everyone busy with their tasks, an expression of dissatisfaction appeared on his face. He said, “Didn’t I say to wait for me? How can you just take off without saying anything?” Jing MO gave him a cold look but said nothing. Xu Zhi frowned, “We don’t have time to wait for you; we have tasks to complete.”

Frustrated, Lu Shi snatched the object Jing MO was working on, declaring, “I’ll do it.”

But in his haste, Lu Shi caused Jing MO to cut his fingers with the knife he was using.

“Jing MO!” Xia Xin rushed over, concerned. “Thank goodness, it’s not too severe..”
