After walking for about ten minutes, the group finally arrived at the location chosen by the production team. It was a clearing in front of a forest, with a stream a little further away. Not far away, some tents had already been set up in a neat and orderly fashion.
It must belong to a member of the production crew.
Before arriving, the group observed that there were guests upstream on the river and in the open space in the distance, mostly groups of friends.
The distant mountains were obscured by white clouds, with wisps of thin clouds interspersed among the trees, and even the blazing sun could not dispel the mist clinging to the sky.
As arranged by the production team, the guests were regrouped into five groups, paired up according to the teammates they had drawn the day before.
Zhang Shengsheng walked over to Wen He and placed his suitcase next to them. Wen He then took their tent and sleeping bag.
" Xiao He, how about we set up here?"
Zhang Shengsheng pulled Wen He to the side slightly closer to the river.
Wen He gazed at the babbling brook, the scene from his dream suddenly flashed into his mind. He shook his head, bit his lip, and quickly moved away from the riverbank, clutching his tent.
"Let's go this way..." Wen He placed the tent bag he was carrying on a large rock, choosing a relatively spacious spot away from the river and woods.
"That works too, let's go here then," Zhang Shengsheng said, for him, it didn't matter which way it was.
Ji Chi Wen He had chosen a spot, he picked up the tent bag with one hand, threw it on an open space nearby, and began unpacking it.
Ji Chi learned how to pitch a tent, while Zhou Siyu was carefully studying an instruction manual.
Seeing this, Wen He also opened the tent and followed Ji Chi's example, taking out the things one by one and arranging them neatly.
Zhou Siyu walked between the two and began to recite the steps.
Ji Chi Ji Chi quick and finished the first step in no time. Afterwards, he squatted down and watched Wen He with amusement, as if he were watching a show.
Seeing that something was wrong, Zhang Shengsheng immediately stepped forward to help, and the two of them worked together to barely catch up with them.
After seeing that the two of them had finished getting ready, Zhou Siyu continued reading out the next step.
And so, without any prior coordination, the four of them began to take shape with two tents.
Wen He raised the back of her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, then reached out and yanked the hood off her coat.
Seeing Ji Chi, Ji Chi put down the tent he was holding, stepped forward, and put the hat back on him, threateningly saying, "Don't take it off, keep it on."
"Hot..." Wen He's face was flushed, and fine beads of sweat were visible on her back.
Ji Chi his appearance, Ji Chi felt a pang of pity. "Wear sunscreen, otherwise it will be even hotter."
Hearing their conversation, Zhou Siyu took out his pink mini fan from his backpack and handed it to Wen He.
" Xiao He, why don't you blow on it for a bit and rest?"
Although the area was shaded by trees and the sun didn't shine through, he had been working for so long that he was exhausted and sweating profusely...
[Damn production team! Couldn't they have set it up properly?]
[Exactly, does it have to be that the guests suffer and have to work hard?]
[My heart aches for Xiao He. It must have been tough setting up a tent for the first time, right?]
[Kind-hearted Xiao Yu, good baby]
[Their location is bad; with such a large rock next to it, the ground might be full of loose stones, and you might not be able to drive a nail in.]
As it turns out, what the netizens said was right.
Wen He felt a clear resistance when he stuck the iron nail in his hand into the soil.
He moved a hard stone to the side and smashed it against the iron nail, but it only went in a little bit.
Ji Chi away from the rocks and quickly set up the tent. Zhou Siyu went inside the tent to finish up.
Ji Chi took the iron nail from Wen He and moved it to a different spot, then had to use force to hammer it in.
Zhang Shengsheng has gone to the front lines to participate in a mini-game to obtain tonight's food.
After Ji Chi lifted Wen He by the arm and placed him on the rocks, he changed the position of his tent to avoid the rocks underneath. However, the entrance and exit were now positioned directly opposite Ji Chi's tent.
Wen He jumped off the rock and took a bottle of advertiser's soda water from the paper bag on the table next to her.
Just as he was about to forcefully unscrew the bottle cap, Ji Chi snatched the soda water from his palm and placed it back in his hand; by then, the sealed cap had already been opened.
Wen He held up the water in front of her and offered it to Ji Chi's lips with both hands.
"This is for you to drink..."
Ji Chi bent his knees and gulped down the water.
Wen He was worried that it would leak out, so she moved closer.
Wen He drank a third of the bottle of water in one go, then handed it to Ji Chi to screw the cap back on before getting another bottle for herself.
It was Ji Chi unscrewed the lid again.
[Waaaaah, Demon Dragon, did your claws break? You actually need our Xiao He to feed you!]
[This is what a cunning man is like]
[He just plays the victim and puts on an act to gain Xiao He's sympathy.]
[If you ask me, the male lead has a better temper.]
[The people in the cottage are all quite nice-tempered (except for Ji Chi )]
[This is hilarious! I've always been curious why Ji Chi would participate in a dating reality show. With his looks and qualifications, he's definitely not short of partners!]
[Does he look like he's here to date? He's not just here to have fun.]
[This young master has never shared a room with anyone before, and he even cooks for himself. It's so novel!]
[Then please stop Xiao He our Xiaohe. The child is a little simple-minded, but her crime doesn't warrant death!]
Ji Chi pulled open the curtain of Wen He's blue tent to let it air out and cool down.
When Zhang Shengsheng and Zhou Siyu returned, each of them was carrying a box of self-heating hot pot.
But four boxes were clearly not enough for two people to share equally, and at some point, the four of them seemed to have formed an alliance.
Jiang Ye's tent was positioned to the side of the river, while Jiang Yu's tent, being the largest and widest, naturally occupied the central position.
Xie Zhengci and Wei Xun were not so afraid, so they chose a spot near the woods, where all they could see were two tents standing close together next to a rock.
Wen He, with her sharp eyes, immediately spotted a small pot and other items on the production crew's side.
Zhang Shengsheng put down the self-heating hot pot in her hand, and the two of them, Wen He in arm, headed towards the production crew's tent.
Zhou Siyu consciously put the self-heating hot pot he was holding into Wen He's blue tent, and then moved his sleeping bag into Wen He's tent as well.
Just greet them again when they return; if that doesn't work, we can try again later...
Ji Chi raised an eyebrow and nodded in satisfaction; he was quite pleased with the other party's actions.
If he were to share a tent with someone else, he would definitely kick them out.
When Wen He and Zhang Shengsheng returned, they were carrying a large pile of items, all of which they had won with rock-paper-scissors.
Zhou Siyu stepped forward and took the items from Wen He's hands. " Xiao He, can I sleep with you guys tonight?"
