Chapter 32
Chapter 32 Handsome Guy
It was easy to go from frugal to luxurious but challenging to go from luxurious to frugal.
Lu Yang’s current mentality was the former, while the other guests were the latter.
Since the fish along the water were all grown naturally and not deliberately hunted, they weren’t only numerous but also huge.
Lu Yang attentively caught three more.
She hung three fish after splitting a bamboo into strips. Contented, she carried the harpoon on her back and the fish in her other hand.
Wen Jian was picking up trash. When she saw Lu Yang, she was surprised. “Woah, you have so many fish!”
“Extra? What is extra?” Qin Yitan felt a little weak after picking up trash for a long time.
“No, I’m talking about Lu Yang having caught many fishes.”
Qin Yitan looked at Lu Yang in shock. He remembered what he had said earlier and tried to save his dignity.
“It must be because the sun was too bright that the sunlight dazed the fish. She must have picked up the scraps by the shore!”
“How can Lu Yang have caught a fish? That’s completely impossible! Lu Yang looks like the one being chased by a fish. How can she catch a fish?” he mused.
Wen Jian gulped. She gave him a sidelong glance when she noticed that Qin Yiyan was still holding on to his words. “The fish is underwater, unlike the two of us beneath the sun. If we look at the sunlight for too long, our vision will become fuzzy.”
Moreover, the two of them had been picking up trash by the shore for a long time. If the intense light had dazed the fish, they would have noticed it long ago.
Not to mention, the fish would not obediently wait for Lu Yang to pick them up.
“You’re not a fish. How do you know it’s consciousness?” Qin Yitan retorted stubbornly.
“If you’re not me, how do you know I’m not a fish?” Wen Jian replied quickly.
She and Qin Yitan could be considered to have debuted at the same time.
When Wen Jian was still in a girl group, she met Qin Yitan in other programs, but he always thought highly of himself.
Qin Yitan treated others as low-quality actors while thinking he was a high and mighty artist.
Some of Qin Yitan’s remarks got under Wen Jian’s skin. She would occasionally carefully hold back her rebuttal, but most of the time, she was quick to speak.
Qin Yitan snorted and raised his chin. “If you’re a fish, I’m a turtle!”
Wen Jian was speechless.
This was the first time she had seen someone scold themselves.
After picking up trash for a long time, Wen Jian rubbed her stomach, feeling a little hungry. “What are we having for lunch?”
“Bread.”
They still had enough food.
“Is it coarse bread again?”
Wen Jian sighed heavily and was still in a daze. Her eyes lit up when she saw Lu Yang carrying a big fish. “Why don’t we go and catch fish too?”
“We don’t have any tools,” Qin Yitan responded.
“I can borrow from Lu Yang,”
“Will she borrow it?”
“Given my relationship with Lu Mingyu, will Lu Yang be kind enough to lend me her tool to catch a fish?” Qin Yitan wondered.
Wen Jian saw through his thoughts. “Lu Yang is easy to talk to.”
She was implying to him not to measure other people’s corn by his own bushel.
Qin Yitan decided not to take on Wen Jian’s suggestion and continued to exaggerate. “Anyone can catch this fish. I can do it without a harpoon!”
Just as the two of them were preparing to catch the fish with their bare hands, Lin Xinmeng and Zhou Moli walked over.
“Qin Yitan, Wen Jian, let’s work together.”
Lin Xinmeng’s smile was bright, and the corners of her eyes had a hint of flattery.
“What cooperation? Catching fish?” Wen Jian asked in confusion.
“We realized that mission 7 isn’t a single task. What Lu Yang said earlier was only one of the missions. You guys should have a third mission,” Zhou Moli explained.
“Why should we believe you?” Qin Yitan was alarmed.
Just like him, Zhou Moli also wanted to get first place. Moreover, Zhou Moli had another lead in his hands.
“We can exchange missions with you and split the mission points equally.” Lin Xinmeng stated the benefits.
Qin Yitan grabbed the garbage bag tightly. He was still hesitating.
“You can also work with the other group,” Zhou Moli went on.
The other group was Lu Mingyu’s group.
Zhou Moli gave Qin Yitan the right to choose.
“Should I work with Zhou Moli or Lu Mingyu? Lu Mingyu and I working together? That’s impossible,” Qin Yitan mused.
After a moment of consideration, Qin Yitan chose the former.
“Zhou Moli is really good at reading people. He has Qin Yitan under his thumb.”
“My husband and my prince charming are going to work together. What a strong alliance!”
Qin Yitan and Wen Jian’s mission was to get rid of the chemical fertilizer and pesticide residue and make the ocean clean.
The four of them stared at each other in silence.
Wen Jian broke the silence. “What’s this?”
“Isn’t this the same as picking up trash?” Qin Yitan added.
“Cooperation, my ass! What a waste of my time,” he thought.
Zhou Moli didn’t say anything, and Lin Xinmeng couldn’t tell what he was thinking either. She could only smile. “I’m not too sure, but there’s still a difference, isn’t it?”
Qin Yitan glared at her.
It was delusional for his opponents who wanted to snatch his points.
…
Lu Yang’s footsteps were light as she walked to the camp.
She arranged the three fish on the branch and wedged the tree stem into the space between the rocks that Lu Mingyu had earlier moved.
Lu Yang decided to boil the seawater first before dealing with the fish because the sun was still very bright.
The bamboo poles couldn’t hold water because they had been split into bamboo strips earlier. Big fishes couldn’t be put in since the bamboo poles in the morning were thin.
After considering many things, Lu Yang immediately decided to cut down some bamboo to make a bamboo tube to cook something.
After packing up, just as she was about to set off to cut bamboo, Lu Mingyu returned in high spirits.
Lu Mingyu had already been directed by Lu Yang to a water source with less seawater and salt. The water was clean, and she had explicitly sought for that spot.
“Yangyang, how is it?” Lu Mingyu flicked the loose strands of hair in front of his forehead and raised one of his eyebrows slightly, looking like he was asking for praise.
Lu Yang looked at him for two seconds. “You’re as handsome as ever. ”
Lu Mingyu looked proud. “I can’t help it. I’m born with some things.”
Lu Yang was speechless and thought, “All right, you’re right since you have good looks.”
“Wow! A fresh handsome guy. I can handle it!”
“In the eyes of others, the Lu Mingyu appears dignified and distant, yet always seems irritable. The Lu Mingyu in front of his sister behaves like a puppy who is always wagging its tail in desire for attention.”
“The director is being overly courteous. We’re all family. Why didn’t he video the bath?”
“Yangyang, where are you going?”
Lu Mingyu noticed that Lu Yang had packed everything in the campsite to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.
“I’m going to cut bamboo.”
Lu Yang remembered that big piece of bamboo, and her gaze fell on Lu Mingyu. “Do you want one?”
“Yes!”
Lu Mingyu was incredibly energized and in a state of excitement.
This was Lu Mingyu’s first time walking on this path. It was covered in weeds, some of which were taller than a person. He could barely see the path in front of him.
“Yangyang, where are we heading?” he asked as he pulled the grass apart.
“I don’t know,” Lu Yang replied honestly.
With the aerial camera in the air, the live-stream viewers were very confused as they watched the two of them clean up the withered grass while walking forward.
“Are the two of them here to reclaim the wilderness?”
Lu Mingyu turned around and looked at her. He grinned and said, “I know where we are heading.”
