Due to Ning Rumeng's rapid downfall and Qin Yi's need to join a film crew, one of the regular male guests was missing. Director Yang had no choice but to urgently contact a male guest—Yu Can, the former captain of the NF boy band.
And it was Yu Can who asked to come.
Director Yang was very worried. His wife's sister's son had finally recovered from depression, and if Chen Rui hurt him again, he wouldn't be able to explain it to his wife!
I'm so worried, really worried.
The second episode takes place in a relatively remote mountain village. The village is still undeveloped; apart from being a bit poor, the scenery and air quality are excellent.
After the group boarded the bus with their luggage, Director Yang announced, "Good morning, everyone! We have a new male guest today! Let's give him a round of applause!!"
The camera pans to the bus door, where a young man in a white shirt and jeans, carrying a backpack, greets the camera and other guests with a warm smile, "Hello everyone, I'm Yu Can!"
The guests introduced themselves one by one. When it was Chen Rui's turn, she said sweetly, "Hello, Can Can, I'm Chen Rui."
[Ahhhhhhh Yu Can! My Can Can!! Mommy loves you!]
Who is Yu Can? Is he a newcomer? He's surprisingly good-looking!
[Waaaaah, my Chanyeol! The former leader of the NF boy group! His singing and dancing were absolutely amazing!]
[No, what's wrong with Chen Rui? Her eyes are disgusting!]
[Wow, could she have fallen for our CanCan again? Doesn't she like Film Emperor Chu?!]
[Aaaaaaah, Chen Rui, you piece of shit, stay away from our Can Can!]
Yu Can's smile deepened, "Hi Xiao Rui! Director Yang said we're teamed up this episode! Can I sit next to you?"
"Of course!" Chen Rui really liked Yu Can's face. Even though Yu Can had rejected her before, and she had even hired people to cyberbully Yu Can, she immediately forgot about it when Yu Can smiled at her now.
Director Yang didn't know what to say. He hoped his wife wouldn't kill him when he got home!! (T▽T)
Ji Nanshu nudged Chu Mo: "Did you get this?"
"Yeah, by the way."
"Oh, you're so naughty~ I like it~"
They arrived at the recording location quickly, and as soon as they got out of the car, Director Yang took out five envelopes.
"Dear guests! See these envelopes in my hand? Each envelope corresponds to a house! Let's draw one to find your address for the next seven days! Come on!"
After finishing his drawing, Jian Yuanjia let out a wail. "Aaaaaah, Director Yang! You made me participate in Metamorphosis, didn't you?!"
Upon opening it, they found it to be a thatched hut.
They weren't the worst off; the worst off were Chen Rui and Yu Can, who drew a drafty mud house.
Wu Yan and Lin Qin drew a brick house with a courtyard, and overall the environment was quite nice.
Lian Shao and Bai Nanyu also lived in thatched huts, but theirs was much better than Jian Yuanjia's.
Ji Nanshu and Chu Mo drew a small courtyard house with a garden, which was arguably the best option besides the house that required a married couple.
[Hahahaha, did you guys see Chen Rui's expression? It's hilarious! Serves her right!]
[Poor Can Can, he got dragged down by this woman...]
[My dear Can Can, Mommy's heart aches for you!]
I love Chu Gouzi and his crew's routine! It's absolutely amazing!
Director Yang said with a smile, "Everyone, go put your luggage away first! Remember to come back and gather around when you're done!"
Chen Rui pouted and said to Chu Mo with a pained expression, "Brother Chu Mo, can I switch houses with you...?"
Before Chu Mo could speak, Ji Nanshu refused, "No, I don't like living here."
Then she pulled Chu Mo along, Chu Mo, carrying his luggage, left.
Chen Rui, with her back to the camera, had a sinister expression and her eyes were full of resentment as she coldly stared at Ji Nanshu's back.
Yu Can took in Chen Rui's expression, silently chuckled to himself, and then called out gently, "Xiao Rui, let's go put our luggage away first. It's the rule of the show, it's okay, I'll go with you!"
Chen Rui: "Yeah! Thank you, Can Can! I'm sorry to have made you suffer with me!"
Ji Nanshu! Your smugness won't last long! Once Brother Chu Mo falls completely in love with her, she'll find a chance to kill Ji Nanshu.
So what if the Ji Family is looking for her? Do you think the Chen and Chu families combined can't handle the Ji Family?!
Ji Nanshu looked at the forest before him, his mind filled with questions. " Director Yang? What did you tell us to do?"
Director Yang, hands on hips. "Going up the mountain to dig for wild vegetables! I've given you all the photos! Remember not to get them mixed up! First place is a super feast! Second and third place are ordinary home-cooked dishes, and the last two... well... pickled vegetables and porridge. Hope you do your best! Good luck!"
Jian Yuanjia scoffed, "Digging for wild vegetables? How did you even come up with that?! Are you trying to tell us that if we're not compatible, we should break up quickly and not end up like Wang Baochuan, digging for wild vegetables for eighteen years?"
Director Yang: "..."
He really hadn't expected this!
"Well, this place is full of wild vegetables... This is called remembering the bitter past and appreciating the sweet present, sharing joys and sorrows, and experiencing the fun of the original ecology! What do you know!"
Jian Yuanjia: "Oh right, right, you know so many idioms."
" Yuanjia..." Ji Nanshu gave Jian Yuanjia a wink, and Jian Yuanjia immediately understood and stepped forward to support Director Yang.
Director Yang panicked. "What are you trying to do?! I'm the director!"
He didn't want to drag his obese body to dig for wild vegetables!
Ji Nanshu secretly gave Director Yang a pep talk, and said with a smile, " Director Yang, let's go, let's dig for wild vegetables together."
"I'm not going!!" But Director Yang's legs followed him very consciously.
Chen Rui frowned, trying to smooth things over for Director Yang: " Nanshu, Yuanjia, Director Yang is a director, not a guest. Isn't it inappropriate for you to pressure him like this?"
Ji Nanshu said with a smile, "Miss Chen, do you know what it means to say one thing but mean another? Look, Director Yang came with us on his own!"
Director Yang: I feel wronged because my body is out of my control, but I won't say anything! (*꒦ິ⌓꒦ີ)
Chen Rui turned her head and saw that Director Yang had already walked in front of them.
Yu Can smiled and waved the photo in her hand, saying gently, "Xiao Rui, let's go up quickly. We must try to be in the top three."
Chen Rui blushed and said sweetly, "Mmm, Can Can! Let's go~"
[Ugh, can't that old woman Chen Rui stay away from our CanCan?! Our CanCan just made his comeback, and he's already going to be with this woman, how disgusting!]
[Huh? I just watched the live stream. Aren't these handsome men and beautiful women quite pleasing to the eye?]
[You didn't know this, did you? This woman is a fan of Film Emperor Chu. She was showering Film Emperor Chu with attention during the last live stream, and this time she's all all over me, Can Can, all alluring and shy. She's such a fickle woman!]
[Are you guys crazy? Maybe they're just friends! How can you accuse someone of being promiscuous like that!]
[Ha, I don't know if she's promiscuous or not, but this woman was the culprit who caused Yu Can to be cyberbullied back then! She wanted to keep Yu Can as a mistress, but he refused, so she turned around and accused him of molesting her! This caused him to be cyberbullied and depressed, and he attempted suicide several times!]
