Chi An tactfully reminded him that, at the speed of the little electric scooter, Song Wenjing should be arriving soon, and they couldn't possibly leave all the tasks to him alone.

Fu Yanci stared straight at Chi An. After a long moment, a gloom slowly clouded his clear eyes, and his voice carried a barely perceptible hint of grievance as he said, "I just want to follow you."

Amazed by Fu Yanci's ability to change expressions, Chi Shuran made no attempt to hide her disgust. She looked as revolted as if she had seen someone scoop a fallen ice cream off the ground with their bare hand and stuff it into their mouth.

She had seen people put on an act, but never anyone this good at it. She no longer cared that a cameraman was present. This man was trying to steal her brother-how could she stand it?!

"Do you have an engine installed in your face? A new face every time it starts-is that what it is? Even Sichuan opera face-changing isn't as fast as that engine of yours!"

"You were swinging your fists in the car, and now you're playing the innocent little victim?"

"I've been a professional bullshit detector for a hundred years. Someone like you doesn't even qualify!"

Chi Shuran rolled her eyes so hard it was as though she meant to roll the entire world over. She truly couldn't bear another second of looking at this affected man, Fu Yanci.

Men really were no good, especially men like Fu Yanci! She had seen people act, but never anyone who could act this much!

[Aw, you poor thing, you manipulative little man. It's okay. They don't understand you, but I do. Come put on an act for me. I'll gladly watch.]

[Don't swing your fists, handsome. Swing those biceps. I've got big eyes, cherry lips, porcelain skin, and chopstick legs. A tiny waist, big boobs, and long, straight black hair, all waiting for you~~~]

[Flirting this hard? Do you have a death wish? He'll punch you straight into space. When you grow up, you're gonna be an astronaut.]

[Talking this boldly? Do you all have a death wish? Song Wenjing's about to start cursing.]

A layer of yellow sand covered hair that even a force-eight typhoon couldn't ruffle. To protect his hairstyle, Song Wenjing had stubbornly refused to wear the helmet the production crew provided. He had ridden the whole way getting sand all over his face, eating dirt, and breathing dust.

Wonderful~~~

His expression grew even more aggrieved, and he even reached out to clutch Chi An's sleeve. "She's insulting me."

"Are you putting on an act?" His patience at its limit, Chi An yanked his sleeve free and turned to glare at him. "Drop that damn act. If I had the means, I'd blast you straight back to those eighteen bends in the mountain road with a cannon."

"Pretending to be polite is annoying enough, and now you're putting on an act with me too, you little shit!"

And you're fucking holding up my task. With all this time wasted arguing, I could've been at Grandma Wang's door by now!

"Phew~~~ That felt good."

The aggrieved look vanished at once. Fu Yanci calmly withdrew his hand, looking relaxed and utterly at ease, like a well-fed cat basking comfortably in its bed.

Having witnessed another of Fu Yanci's lightning-fast changes of expression up close, Chi Shuran felt she could no longer find suitable words to curse this shameless bastard. All she could do was watch as he laced his hands behind his head and ambled toward the table.

"Aaaah! Why did you yell at him?! Why does he get to be yelled at by you!!!"

"Look at that shameless face! You've made him feel good by yelling at him! Why does he get that?!"

"Yell at me! Hurry up and yell at me! Why are you only yelling at him and not me?!"

Chi Shuran stamped her feet in anger, itching to go fight Fu Yanci. This shameless bastard actually dared to steal her brother!

Chi An could only yell at her! Chi An was her brother!

She was a total brother's girl!!!!

"Keep screeching and you can get lost too."

Her high-pitched yelling gave Chi An a headache, and he snapped that at her as well.

"You got it."

Chi Shuran exhaled in satisfaction and instantly returned to normal, calmly sweeping back her hair as she walked forward beside Chi An.

[...]

[...Nutjobs.]

[They both enjoyed getting yelled at. What kind of personalities do these two have?]

[Masochists, probably, but Chi An doesn't look like he wants to play along.]

[Maso-what? I know medium sizes, and I can bounce my leg and dance to music. What's a masochist?]

[Not your fault. Go play, size medium.]

[They're exactly like my bratty boyfriend and little brother.]

[Never mind your boyfriend, but could you introduce me to your brother? No ulterior motives, I just want to see how bratty he is. It's fine if it's inconvenient.]

[Your scheming is practically hitting me in the eyeballs. Believe it or not, I'll superglue you to a pole.]

Lin Yuxuan and Gu Zijin were the second team to arrive. They parked their vehicle and stood in front of the table as instructed by the staff.

"Bro, how did you get here so fast? Weren't you on a little electric scooter?"

Apart from Chi Shuran's team's car, they hadn't seen anything along the way. Questioning everything, Lin Yuxuan turned to ask Gu Zijin beside him whether he had seen him. Equally bewildered, Gu Zijin shook his head.

"Bro, how did you get here?"

"You forgot I'm Ultraman. I can fly."

Lin Yuxuan: ...

Gu Zijin: ...

The staff member beside them: ...

The live comments: [...]

"I don't blame you for your bad eyesight. After all, I'm an Ultraman who can turn invisible."

"Did you see a really idiotic-looking toad? That's a pet I got in a moment of insanity."

"Uh... no."

Lin Yuxuan didn't dare answer. Wouldn't Song Wenjing explode if he heard that? And they were still streaming live. Was this guy really that bold?

"Oh."

Another silence fell. The three of them simply stood there blankly, saying nothing and making no unnecessary movements. In the end, a staff member beside them kindly stepped forward to remind them, "You need to draw a task card here."

"Huh? Oh, right, we have to draw task cards."

Flustered, Lin Yuxuan grabbed one at random. Just as he was about to open it, Fu Yanci stopped him.

"Are you really going to open it now?"

"What's wrong?"

His hand holding the task card trembled. With Fu Yanci staring at him like that, Lin Yuxuan suddenly felt as though the card were a hot potato and wanted to throw it away.

"That thing determines how good your accommodation is."

"It's that important? Should I pick another one, then?"

He stole a glance at the staff member. Seeing no intention of stopping him, Lin Yuxuan simply exchanged it for another.

"It'll be the same either way. It won't make much difference."

"Huh? What should I do, then?"

"Hold it in your hands and pray. Pray sincerely for two minutes, and you might get a good one."

Fu Yanci's expression didn't look deceitful, yet something still felt off. Lin Yuxuan and Gu Zijin exchanged looks for a while, but in the end, they held up the envelope and began to pray.

After muttering for two minutes, the two took deep breaths and carefully opened the envelope, deliberately taking out its contents with the writing facing down. First, they unfolded a sheet of paper. It was a map marked with Grandpa Li's house, which should be the address of their accommodation.

Then, taking the task card, Lin Yuxuan held his breath and flipped it over. A line of text met their eyes and those of the livestream viewers: Please help feed all the cows at Grandpa Li's house.
