Meng Chuyuan thought that the most difficult person to deal with was the one beside her. Only now did she realize that the internal conflicts between the other two groups were far more complicated than they thought.

Looking at it this way, she felt that Lu Jinsen was not as bad as the Internet said.

Lu Jinsen only seemed bad-tempered on the surface, but in some aspects he did quite well. When making a choice, he would also take the initiative to discuss it with Meng Chuyuan first.

Even sometimes, when Meng Chuyuan was insistent on her ideas, Lu Jinsen would still stand on her side in the end.

They had only officially come into contact with each other through this variety show. They were really just two strangers who had teamed up to film a variety show and their performance on the show was displayed in front of everyone without reservation.

She and Lu Jinsen did not cause trouble for each other. They did not interact much during the missions in earlier episodes, but they also didn’t have conflict over small matters.

Ting Jiu was so tired that he lay paralyzed on the sofa. The fatigue in his heart was all over his face. “It’s too torturous. I won’t participate in reality shows in the future.’ ever since Ting Jiu displayed his skills in the professional competition and received the title of ‘most outstanding player’, he quickly gained popularity in the eSports scene. Later on, he took on some endorsements and officially interacted with people in the entertainment industry.

Ting Jiu had participated in many variety shows. Even if no one mentioned his status as an eSports player, with his looks and height, people would definitely mistake him for a rising star in the entertainment industry.

Meng Chuyuan glanced at him and advised kindly, “Go to school and focus on your competition.”

Ting Jiu nodded thoughtfully. He suddenly stood up from the sofa. “Gaming is my real passion. I can start my own live-stream at home. Why should I come here to suffer? I’m going to pack my luggage. I’ll leave tomorrow morning.”

After saying that, Ting Jiu returned to his room to pack his things.

Only Lu Jinsen and Meng Chuyuan were left in the living room.

Lu Jinsen had always been a man of few words. He sat silently at the side the entire time and stared blankly at the cup he had just brought back.

He was going back tomorrow. Every time he had to go back, Lu Jinsen would wonder how many more episodes Meng Chuyuan would persevere through before she quit. As the show progressed, more thoughts flooded his mind.

Seeing that he seemed to have lost his soul, Meng Chuyuan walked over and snapped her fingers in front of him. “What are you thinking about? You’re going home tomorrow. Aren’t you happy?

Lu Jinsen looked up at Meng Chuyuan and said earnestly, “I’m wondering when my brother will be back.”

In the past, when Lu Qingye was away for a year and a half, he did not feel this kind of dependence.

“Do you think I’m annoying?” Meng Chuyuan raised her eyebrows slightly, without a change in her gaze.

Lu Jinsen retracted his gaze and denied, “No.”

This was because he knew that even if Lu Qingye came back, he definitely wouldn’t have much time to record the variety show with him. After all, Lu Qingye was a person who never left his work. Recording a variety show was a project that would take up most of his time. He probably wouldn’t take it seriously.

However, compared to Meng Chuyuan, he was not worth mentioning.

Although Lu Qingye was reliable, in this variety show, no matter how high his status was, he would not be of much use in the countryside.

“If your brother is willing, I don’t mind switching with him.” Meng Chuyuan boldly voiced her opinion. “He can accompany you to film this variety show, and I’ll go on a business trip in his stead.”

Anyway, she was an idle person, she could do anything.

Lu Jinsen said, “Then you might end up seeing two clueless and helpless men on the variety show.”

The next morning, the sun slowly rose in the east. Birds chirped meekly in the treetops, and the warm and bright light illuminated the house.

Before the live-stream started, the other teams headed to town for breakfast. Only Meng Chuyuan was packing her luggage in her room.

Today’s mission was relatively simple. According to how much they had spent yesterday, each group would have to go to the streets to sell sugar paintings and hand the money they earned to the production team.

The group who failed to meet the target would not be able to leave this town. They would have to continue live-streaming for an hour more before they could leave.

“That’s simple. As long as people are willing to buy the sugar paintings, we would just need to sell about ten of them to meet the target.”

Some guests felt that sugar paintings were expensive to begin with. The dozens of yuan they used yesterday could easily be returned to the production team very quickly.

“Wait, I’m not done yet.” The director suddenly asked the staff to carry a spinning wheel up. On it was a pancake-shaped figure with percentages indicated on it.

Director: “In a while, each group will send a representative up to throw a dart. The percentage you strike will decide the number of sugar paintings you will have to sell today.”

[l knew that the director would keep us in suspense. Hahaha, there must be a trap here.. Otherwise, why would there be such a simple event for everyone?]
