Time can sometimes feel like it's passing very slowly, such as when doing physical labor.
Sometimes it feels like time flies by.
Three days and two nights may sound like a long time, but it passed in the blink of an eye before anyone could even react.
On the last day, there was actually only one morning left, because after noon, the entire production team would go their separate ways.
During this period, the popularity of the five guests changed to varying degrees through this live broadcast program.
Although some controversies arose during the live broadcast, " Incredible Life " is essentially a slow-paced lifestyle variety show. The target audience is different, and the guests don't deliberately cause trouble to gain attention, so it is generally peaceful, warm, and enjoyable.
That morning, Xia Zhiyi got up at the crack of dawn as usual. She was wondering whether to wake Wang Chengran and the others up for their morning exercise on the last day, or let them sleep in, when the people lying in bed got up on their own.
Xia Zhiyi and Wang Chengran slept in the main room for the past two nights. The production team originally planned to borrow an empty room from Seventh Uncle's family to accommodate the new guests, but after the guests arrived, everyone discussed it and decided that it would be better for them to stay together.
However, their cabin only has four rooms in total. If divided by gender, the ladies don't mind sharing a room with one other person, as there are enough beds.
On the men's side, although Xue Ranran's younger brother is young and doesn't take up much space when he sleeps, the rest are all adult men, so it's still a bit cramped for two people to share a room.
Then Xia Zhiyi readily borrowed the tools from the previous household again, spent some money, and quickly made two single beds.
After that, Xia Zhiyi and Wang Chengran slept in the main room that night, while the others were divided into pairs.
" Teacher Xia." Wang Chengran's voice was still a little muffled, but he subconsciously lowered it so much that Xia Zhiyi might not have been able to hear him if she hadn't had good hearing.
"You're awake," Xia Zhiyi said softly. "Today's the last day. Director Gong said today is just for us to have fun; we don't have to do any tasks. If you're sleepy, you can sleep a little longer."
Wang Chengran squinted for a moment, then quickly woke up, smiled, and said softly, "No need, my biological clock is about to kick in too, I can't fall back asleep even if I wanted to."
Fifteen days is enough time for him to get his biological clock back on track. Even if he wants to sleep in, he can only lie there; falling asleep will be a bit difficult.
Moreover, after getting used to exercising every morning, I always feel uncomfortable if I don't get up and run a couple of laps.
Xia Zhiyi he was truly awake, so she didn't say much. She smiled, gestured, and indicated that they could go outside to talk.
The main room was separated from the four other rooms by only one wall. Although the two were talking very softly, someone who was a light sleeper might still hear some noise and be woken up.
After the two finished washing up, Fu Yunyi followed Fu Chi out. Xia Zhiyi this and waited for a moment.
A little while later, Gu Zhiyuan also came out, yawning as he walked. "You're all up? I thought I'd sleep in a bit more on the last day. Didn't we say we didn't have to do any tasks today?"
Xia Zhiyi smiled and said, "I'm used to it."
Wang Chengran also said that he had gotten used to it.
While squeezing toothpaste, Fu Yunyi glanced at Fu Chi, who was quietly washing up, and then winked at Gu Zhiyuan.
Gu Zhiyuan has gradually gotten used to Fu Chi's presence these past two days, but it's still a bit difficult for him to take the initiative to talk to Fu Chi, because... because talking to Fu Chi sometimes really requires thorough preparation.
First, you need courage. Then, after finally mustering the courage to step forward, you also need the courage to bring up the next topic after the other person has concisely and quickly ended the conversation.
Gu Zhiyuan: As expected of my idol, he speaks so decisively and efficiently... Waaaaah.
He was Fu Yunyi's childhood friend, and not much older than Fu Chi. If seniority wasn't a factor, he could even call Fu Chi" elder brother."
But with just a few years' age difference, their worlds seemed completely separated— Gu Zhiyuan and Fu Yunyi were still in the circle of young people, while Fu Chi was interacting with their uncles, elders, and even grandfathers.
This time, upon seeing Fu Chi, Gu Zhiyuan no longer felt the same mix of wanting to get close and being a little scared as before, but he still behaved quite obediently.
Xia Zhiyi poured some water into the basin Fu Chi needed, and as the daylight gradually brightened, she glanced in the direction of the bamboo forest, her eyes narrowing slightly. "Is that the village chief?"
Upon hearing this, the others all looked up in the direction he was gazing.
Although Xia Zhiyi phrased it as a question, everyone actually took it as a statement of fact—who didn't know that Xia Zhiyi were remarkably acute?
As expected, under everyone's watchful eyes, the figure in the distance arrived in no time; it was the village chief himself.
"You're all up, huh?" The village chief's voice wasn't too loud. Upon seeing the group, he first flashed a bright smile, then put down what he was carrying and said to them, "I brought you some things. These are eggs from my chickens, all free-range eggs, very nutritious. Please share them; it's a small token of our appreciation."
They came to deliver something.
Naturally, no one wanted to accept the eggs directly. However, the village chief put down the eggs, said a few words, and turned to leave. His steps were so fast that everyone was terrified—if he wasn't careful, the village chief might trip and fall, which would be bad, as he was not a young man.
Wang Chengran jogged a few steps, but found that the village chief was walking faster the more he chased him, so he quickly stopped. "Hey, hey, slow down, I won't chase you anymore."
Upon hearing this, the village chief turned his head, glanced at it, and said with a smile, "Hey, keep it. You can save it for breakfast in the morning."
Then, they left quickly, still at a respectable pace.
Everyone: "..."
Xia Zhiyi squatted down, opened the plastic bag, looked inside, touched it, and looked up with a smile, "The ones on top are still a little warm."
It must be fresh, just taken from the nest.
Unexpectedly, the village chief, who was doing a similar task as an NPC on the show, suddenly sent over so many eggs.
Xia Zhiyi: "There are fifty or sixty of them. I reckon the village chief's family has been saving them up."
Wang Chengran exclaimed "Ah!" and then squatted down to look around. "Did they send everything from home over?"
Xia Zhiyi: "Maybe."
Wang Chengran: "Then maybe I should just take it back later."
Xia Zhiyi didn't reply immediately, but looked at the others.
Fu Chi finished washing up at a leisurely pace, walked to his side, looked down at him, and said, "Keep it."
Xia Zhiyi looked up and met his gaze.
Fu Chi: "After you go back, pick out some local specialties and send them back."
Xia Zhiyi smiled upon hearing this, "Good idea."
Being too polite can actually hurt people's feelings.
However, Fu Chi is indeed not as cold as he seems on the surface.
