A rabid human vaccine

"I want an apple too."

Having dealt with Song Wenjing, Fu Yanci hadn't missed the apples in Ren Anwen's and Ren Wuyang's hands. His gaze naturally settled on the half-eaten apple Chi An was holding.

Chi An said, "There aren't any left."

"I'll just eat this one."

Crouching beside Chi An, Fu Yanci took the half-eaten apple from his hand and happily started munching.

[These past few minutes have shocked me several times over.]

[So, what was that Chi An said about four years? That's what I'm more interested in.]

[The crown prince just casually took it and started eating? Seriously, why don't these two just get back together? What's the difference between this and not breaking up at all?]

[Haven't you heard? People don't cherish what they've already got. Chi An's training him here. Someone's teaching a class for free, so pay attention and learn.]

[Is this something we can even learn? Have you seen Chi An's face?! Give me this man, and I'd work twenty-three hours a day just to save one hour to kiss him!]

[Sure enough, nobody cares about Song Wenjing. Do you even remember who the main character is?]

"Everyone, we're here!"

A shout came from the distance. Everyone looked toward the sound, their eyes widening. Chi An also shifted out of his original relaxed sitting position, resting one hand on his leg as he carefully studied the two approaching figures.

He'd known they would have bad luck, but hadn't Lin Yuxuan and Gu Zijin taken it a little too far?

Their clothes were disheveled, their hair like birds' nests, with even two chicken feathers sticking out and a few leaves dotted around them.

Despite their sorry state, their dust-covered faces bore huge smiles, and they were even carrying a basket of eggs. "The chickens' owner gave us these as compensation! We've got eggs to eat tonight!"

"Oh my god, how did you end up like this? Did you get into a fight with the chickens?"

"Do you need rabies shots?"

Ren Wuyang asked with concern all over his face. Once Lin Yuxuan came closer, he considerately stepped forward to remove the chicken feathers and dead leaves from his hair.

"Is a rabies shot what you get when a chicken bites you?"

Song Wenjing, who had run back from under the tree, heard Ren Wuyang's words and voiced his question, successfully silencing everyone present.

Returning to his earlier sitting position with his long legs stretched out casually, Chi An gave a soft chuckle when no one answered Song Wenjing and said unhurriedly, "No. If a chicken pecks you, of course you get a rabid chicken vaccine."

As soon as Chi An finished speaking, laughter rose all around him. Hearing what those laughs meant, Song Wenjing flushed with embarrassment and annoyance. "I've never been bitten! It's normal not to know!"

[Actually... I don't know either. So if a person bites you, do you need a rabies shot?]

[You get a rabid human vaccine.]

[You guys are nuts. You've got me laughing.]

[Following that logic, if a wave bites you, you get a wild wave vaccine, or you'll go wild, go wild!]

[Being a gold miner isn't bad either. Looking at you lunatics every day gives me the pride of being the only normal person.]

[Are you sure it's not an inferiority complex from not fitting in?]

Looking at the utterly bedraggled Lin Yuxuan and Song Wenjing, Chi Shuran looked down at herself.

She was spotless, without a speck of dust, her clothes astonishingly bright, pure white and flawless!

Chi Shuran couldn't help exclaiming, "You're a god-tier prophet, bro! Did you have me come down first because you foresaw the bad luck?!"

Who here was cleaner than her? Even Chi An had dust on him. Out of the whole group, she alone was still completely unscathed.

"By the way, where are Wanqing and her younger sister?"

Ren Anwen craned her neck to look at the road they had come down. After looking around and confirming that neither of them was anywhere in sight, she asked.

Lin Yuxuan said, "Oh, those two went to the hospital. Li Nanyi sprained her ankle, and Lu Wanqing went with her."

A crew member said, "Everyone, let's gather around first."

A table was carried over beside them, followed by chairs. Once everything was set up, they took their seats and waited for the crew's arrangements.

"Everyone, all of us on the production team are deeply sorry about what happened this afternoon. We failed to communicate clearly beforehand with the owner of the chickens, Mr. Xu, which resulted in your injuries."

"Mr. Xu also feels deeply sorry about this, so he'll be providing your accommodations this week. He offered this of his own accord to express his apologies to you all."

"Since the production team also bears responsibility for this incident, we'll be preparing tonight's dinner, and you won't need to complete any tasks."

"Ms. Lu and her younger sister have already gone to the hospital because of the injury, so you're free to arrange your own time for now. You can sit here and chat to get to know one another better, or you can wander around the village."

"Mr. Xu is still getting your rooms ready. Once they're ready, you can go over and get settled."

"Dinner will be at Mr. Xu's house. He's prepared a lavish dish for you, and its main ingredient is the chicken that chased you most fiercely."

After making sure nothing had been left out, the crew member finished speaking and jogged away, leaving the floor to them.

The atmosphere fell quiet for a while. Everyone sat silently at the table without saying a word. Watching this awkward atmosphere from behind the cameras, the director immediately had a bad feeling.

If these people sat here until evening, what was he supposed to broadcast?! They might as well stop filming altogether.

"No! Absolutely not! Go find the planners. Arrange any task or interaction, even a little game! We can't let them sit here doing nothing without saying a word."

"First, have a crew member write up a sign reminding them to interact."

"Okay."

Facing the crew, Gu Zijin saw a sign suddenly rise behind them. He narrowed his eyes and unconsciously leaned his head forward, trying hard to make out the words on it.

"Inter... inter-what?"

"Yuxuan, I'm not wearing my glasses. Have a look at what the sign says."

Patting Lin Yuxuan's shoulder, Gu Zijin pointed at the sign. Everyone else turned around too and stared at it together. Not expecting to draw everyone's attention, the crew member's waving hand froze in midair, and they silently lowered their head.

Lin Yuxuan said, "'Interact.' The handwriting on that last character's pretty ugly. I almost couldn't recognize it either."

[How rude. He just went right ahead and said it. Don't working people have any dignity?]

[Reading it out was one thing, but why throw in a personal attack? That's savage.]

[Looks like livestreams can have scripts too. This sign is proof.]

[I don't know whether anything else is scripted, but I have no problem with someone giving them a reminder here. Didn't you see how they were just now? They were clearly planning to sit there all afternoon. Are all of us supposed to just watch them sit?]

"How are we supposed to interact? Didn't they say we could sit here and chat? Why do we have to interact now?"

Having never exercised this much before, Gu Zijin now only wanted to go back, lie down in bed, and have a good rest.

Ren Anwen said, "Chatting counts as interacting too. We can just sit here and chat."
