Xie Linchuan glanced at Shen Xingcan, then nodded. "Okay... wait for me a moment, I'll go get the raincoat."
Shen Xingcan finally remembered what he had forgotten: he hadn't taken his raincoat.
"I don't need you, I can go by myself."
But in the time it took him to speak, Xie Linchuan had already taken the raincoat down from the tree.
Shen Xingcan untied the raincoat from the tree branch. "Did you see it from a great distance?"
"Um."
"Was that a good move?"
"Good, very clever."
Shen Xingcan said smugly, "That's right."
After they reunited, collecting became much simpler. They only needed to find the items and exchange them for the corresponding cards from the staff to complete the task. They didn't need to worry about how to transport the items.
Therefore, Shen Xingcan and Xie Linchuan's product collection speed can be described as rapid as a thousand miles a day.
The only thing that bothered Shen Xingcan was that the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and even though his hair was tied up with a scarf, it was still inevitably being blown around everywhere.
Fortunately, Shen Xingcan has Xie Linchuan, who can braid hair, by her side.
Time slowly passed.
Dark clouds had appeared in the clear sky, as if brewing a heavy rain.
"This rain seems quite heavy. I just counted, and we've collected almost three hundred cards. Should we call someone over now, or wait until we've collected three hundred before calling?"
Xie Linchuan: "You use the pager to call them first. I'll use the pager when they arrive. I should be able to find three hundred items by the time they get here."
Shen Xingcan's eyes lit up. "Yes, that will save a lot of time."
The production crew couldn't arrive the moment he pressed the call button, and while he was waiting, he lost the right to look for things, but Xie Linchuan did!
[That's right, this way we don't have to worry about it raining later, and we can still get the three hundred that Shen Xingcan wants.]
[Have any of you watched other live streams and shared your progress? We two should be in first place, right?]
[ Ye Ran and Lin Cen have 193 items. As for Bai Lin and Jiang Yifeng, these two haven't even met. Jiang Yifeng just used his pager; he should have 50 or 60 items. Bai Lin's number is about the same.]
[ Ye Ran and Lin Cen haven't known each other for long, but these two are still managing to gather so much stuff; they're really amazing.]
[It seems finding someone in such a large mango orchard is difficult; not everyone can be as "telepathic" as our two.]
During the time they waited for the bus, Xie Linchuan gained quite a bit more.
The two concluded the competition with a total of 308 items.
Before the car even stopped, Shen Xingcan heard Jiang Yifeng's voice.
"Team leader!"
Shen Xingcan asked in surprise, "You've found enough so quickly?"
Jiang Yifeng: "No, but I felt it was going to rain, and I was also a bit too heavy to carry, so I decided to give up."
Shen Xingcan: "You didn't find Bai Lin?"
Jiang Yifeng sighed, "No, he and I don't have the same chemistry as you and Lao Yao, so I've been looking for him all morning and haven't found him. It looks like we'll have to fly economy class."
In fact, Jiang Yifeng didn't look for it at all. Compared to seeing Bai Lin, Jiang Yifeng would rather sit in economy class. Besides, it wasn't like he was sitting alone; Bai Lin would have to come with him too.
Hmm, now that I think about it, economy class isn't so hard to get into, hey.
Jiang Yifeng: "Captain, do you think the production team will add some guests to our show after we get to France? It would be great if we could add some guests, a different combination, to add some freshness."
He really, really didn't want to be grouped with Bai Lin anymore.
Shen Xingcan chuckled, "How would I know about such things? But what you said might be true."
Jiang Yifeng: "Although we can't know exactly how well our show is doing, I think with your and Lao Yao's fame, the viewership ratings will definitely be good. The director has a sufficient budget, so he won't be stingy and refuse to add more guests, right? No way, no way??"
Jiang Yifeng addressed his last few words directly to the director.
The director, who was also in the car, asked in confusion, "Aren't you afraid that there will be too many guests and they'll take up too much screen time with you?"
Because it's One Fruit live variety show, each guest gets a lot of screen time, but with so many people, it still has a significant impact on the amount of screen time each person gets.
Jiang Yifeng didn't take it seriously. "The captain and the youngest are always together. They're the most popular, so you'll definitely get plenty of screen time with them. If I don't get enough screen time, I can just squeeze myself between them, right? Anyway, they won't hold it against me for trying to get screen time."
director. "..."
really.
The reason why "A Fruit" has become so popular is not because the show is particularly innovative, but because of the huge number of fans of Shen Xingcan and Xie Linchuan.
Director: "We do have this idea for the show, but we're still negotiating how many people to select and who to choose."
"As long as there are new people, that's fine."
Anyway, no matter who comes, they won't be as annoying as Bai Lin.
Jiang Yifeng really seemed to have his dislike for Bai Lin written all over his face.
[Should I put myself between the two of them? That would be like being a third wheel.]
[ Bai Lin and Jiang Yifeng don't seem to have any conflict, right? It seems like Bai Lin has been targeting Shen Xingcan several times.]
The reason "targeting Shen Xingcan " is enough to kill him a thousand times over with Jiang Yifeng.
I thought everyone knew exactly how good the relationship between Jiang Yifeng and Shen Xingcan was.
[How many times do I have to say it before everyone understands that the members of TS have a great relationship and that it's not some superficial camaraderie.]
Shen Xingcan: "..."
By the time they finished talking, it had gotten completely dark.
Shen Xingcan sat in the car, looking out the window at the world. "This rain probably won't be light..."
Jiang Yifeng deeply agreed, "Yes, Ye Ran and the others haven't given up yet? They'll definitely get soaked in the rain if they don't come back soon."
The moment he finished speaking, raindrops began to pound against the car window.
The director glanced at his phone. "We've given up on them all. Other staff members have gone to pick them up, but it will definitely take some time for them to arrive."
Jiang Yifeng sighed, "Actually, giving up early isn't so bad. At least you won't get wet in the rain. Economy class is fine."
Shen Xingcan chuckled, "Anyway, first class won't get you to France before economy class, right?"
Jiang Yifeng nodded emphatically. "That's right."
Back at camp, the rain intensified.
The rain gear that Shen Xingcan and Xie Linchuan brought didn't come in handy at the mango orchard, but it did on their way back to the cabin.
The distance from the camp gate to the cabin is very short, making it inconvenient to wear a raincoat. An umbrella would be just right, but it's obvious that one of the two umbrellas should be given to Jiang Yifeng.
Jiang Yifeng didn't act like an outsider. He naturally took an umbrella and told his captain and the youngest brother how to share one umbrella.
"The youngest child holds an umbrella in one hand and has his arm around the captain in the other, or the youngest child carries the captain on his back while the captain holds the umbrella."
After leaving the solution, Jiang Yifeng got out of the car with an umbrella.
Shen Xingcan looked at Xie Linchuan: "So how are we going to get back?"
Xie Linchuan: "I'll carry you on my back."
"Oh."
[Why do I feel like there's a hint of disappointment in this??]
[So, does this mean she doesn't want to be carried but wants to be hugged?]
[Maybe not, perhaps the kitty just wants to play in the water~]
[That "oh" is very expressive.]
Xie Linchuan: "It's raining heavily; my trouser legs will get wet if I walk back."
Shen Xingcan: "Yes, I know."
Xie Linchuan paused for a moment, then said, "... Let's walk back together."
Still reluctant, Shen Xingcan asked in surprise, "Why did you change your mind?"
Xie Linchuan said casually, "Suddenly I realized that we always need to change our clothes, so getting wet or not doesn't make much difference. Besides, splashing in puddles should be a lot of fun."
Shen Xingcan raised an eyebrow. " Xie Linchuan, I think you're a bit childish, but since Shen Xingcan 'm an hour older than you, I've decided to grant your wish."
Xie Linchuan: "Well, then I'll trouble Shen Xingcan, who's an hour older than me, to fulfill my wish."
[ Shen Miaomiao, you're so arrogant.]
This dialogue is so cute!
[ Xie Linchuan, I think you're a bit naive... I suggest that sisters who want to hook up with someone learn more of Shen Xingcan's sayings.]
[Acting cute, acting adorable, being coquettish, seducing, tempting, playing hard to get, feigning reluctance, being considerate, remembering preferences—these keywords all refer to Shen Xingcan's behavior over the past few days.]
[I told you long ago that Shen Xingcan was no good. Even if Xie doesn't like him, no one could withstand his smooth and skillful maneuvers, let alone the fact that her husband is head over heels in love with him.]
[Sigh, even though they've made up now, I still feel bad thinking about what happened before. They were estranged for so many years because of a misunderstanding.]
Looking at it this way, Shen Xingcan's actions at that time could be described as a desperate gamble. If Xie really didn't like him, or even really hated him, he couldn't even imagine how it would end.
Shen Xingcan gave a haughty and aloof snort.
The rain was so heavy that even though the entire campsite was built on relatively high ground on the island, countless puddles still formed on the ground.
Shen Xingcan played around for a while, and in the end, not only were her trouser legs wet, but her entire body below the knees was soaked by the rain.
Xie Linchuan was holding an umbrella for him, was also affected.
Feeling that it was about time, Xie Linchuan pulled Shen Xingcan back from heading towards the next puddle, saying, "You'll catch a cold if you stay too long, let's go back."
Even though Shen Xingcan wasn't quite done playing, she didn't argue with Xie Linchuan's words, but obediently replied, "Okay."
After setting up the live streaming equipment, the staff left the wooden house.
Shen Xingcan quickly grabbed a piece of clothing to cover the camera lens.
"We need to change our clothes now. We'll let you out after we're done."
