Chapter 562 Out of sight, out of mind; why make trouble?
Chapter 562 Out of sight, out of mind; why make trouble?
Although Ning Yao loved motorcycles, she still respected the rules of the show and didn't immediately ride one and speed around the fields.
This program is called "Life in Peach Blossom Spring," which, as the name suggests, brings viewers a slow-paced life that they cannot experience in today's fast-paced world.
Someone from the production team started assigning tasks to the guests. An assistant director holding an orange megaphone shouted to the guests: "For the ingredients for the upcoming lunch and dinner, you must earn Peach Blossom Coins yourselves and exchange them with us. You can earn Peach Blossom Coins by completing tasks. The list of available tasks is posted on the wall of the living room in the cabin. You can take a look."
Upon hearing this, Ning Yao curiously walked to the wall and looked closely at the deliberately aged blackboard covered with writing.
1. Choose to cultivate and plant trees. Planting five trees of each type costs one Peach Blossom Coin. The daily limit is forty trees, for a total of eight Peach Blossom Coins.
2. Pick ripe fruits from the ground. Each basket contains three Peach Blossom Coins. The daily limit is two baskets, for a total of six Peach Blossom Coins.
3. Obtain through game challenges, such as ring toss, archery, and ping-pong machine. There is a daily limit of three challenges, for a total of nine Peach Blossom Coins.
The prices of the ingredients prepared by the production team for the guests also fluctuate depending on whether they are meat or vegetables, and the exchange price is different every day.
Wenna noticed that Xue Jiashu and Ning Yao were both staring at the task list on the wall, and after a while, no one came forward to take charge.
She couldn't wait any longer and stepped forward, saying, "There are three types of challenge missions in total. Why don't we each take on one?"
At that time, everyone will have different tasks, the locations will be different, and the shots will definitely be different. In this way, everyone will have their own shots, so that Ning Yao won't monopolize them all.
"As for who among the three of us will take on mission number 1, mission number 2, and mission number 3, how about we decide by drawing lots?" Wenna paused briefly before continuing.
"I disagree." Ning Yao glanced at Wen Na, her voice cool but without any intention of targeting her.
Xue Jiashu thought it was quite fair. It was all about luck in the lottery. Drawing number three was good, as it meant you wouldn't have to go outside in the scorching sun.
However, seeing that Ning Yao disagreed, he agreed, smiling as he looked at her and slowly uttered five words: "I disagree too."
If it were any other celebrity, they might feel grateful for the guest's protection, but Ning Yao knew Xue Jiashu's true nature and felt no gratitude towards him whatsoever; in fact, she felt a bit disgusted.
Wenna didn't expect that when she stood up for herself, she would be criticized by both guests at the same time, and she felt uncomfortable for a moment.
In front of the camera, he directly said he disagreed and openly gave her the cold shoulder.
Do these two have any emotional intelligence at all?
Seeing that Wenna's expression was not good, Ning Yao pursed her lips and thought for a while before slowly explaining, "It doesn't matter who does missions number 1 and number 2. They are just physical labor and not difficult. You can get Peach Blossom Coins by completing the maximum number of missions. But mission number 3 is different. It has certain technical requirements. You need to successfully complete the challenge to get all the Peach Blossom Coins."
"Therefore, we need to select someone who can gain the greatest benefit to do this mission number 3, rather than deciding by drawing lots."
Viewers watching the live stream felt that Ning Yao's analysis made a lot of sense. If it were a lottery, they might draw someone who couldn't do ring toss, archery, or ping-pong, which would mean all nine Peach Blossom Coins would go down the drain.
Wen Tingye chuckled as he witnessed this scene from the car. His woman was decisive and wouldn't be easily led by the nose.
However, whenever the man inadvertently glances at the annoying Xue Jiashu on the screen, he always unconsciously narrows his eyes, furrows his brows, and reveals a chilling glint in his eyes, as if he is about to smash Xue Jiashu to pieces, leaving not even a bone behind.
At this moment, Xue Jiashu, who was far away in the cabin, shivered for no apparent reason. He looked towards the door with suspicion, his mind filled with doubt.
It's a sunny season, so why do I suddenly feel cold all over?
Seeing that Xue Jiashu had already sided with Ning Yao, and that Ning Yao's words did indeed seem to concern her, Wen Na stopped objecting.
"Then how do we choose?" Wenna looked at Ning Yao, trying to hide the disgust in her eyes.
"We'll have a competition among the three of us for Task 3. Whoever performs best will get to do it. As for Tasks 1 and 2, we'll draw lots to decide."
"Mr. Xue, what do you think?" Ning Yao suddenly called out Xue Jiashu's name, her voice calm and even.
Xue Jiashu realized what Ning Yao meant and immediately nodded after hearing her words, reiterating his agreement with her suggestion.
"I think what you said makes a lot of sense, so let's do it your way."
Xue Jiashu didn't think too much about it; he just felt that he couldn't bring himself to refuse Ning Yao just by looking at her beautiful face.
However, his fans were speechless because of his sycophantic behavior, and many fans even turned against him.
[Wasn't Xue Jiashu always portrayed as a playboy and dissolute playboy? How come he suddenly became so loyal?]
[Tsk, putting the words "woof woof woof" on his face, he's practically the epitome of a simp!]
I used to quite like Xue Jiashu, but seeing him so lustfully desperate, I just can't be a fan anymore. Goodbye.
"It can't be that bad. There's no need to go against them on this. I think Luo Xiyao is right; Mission No. 3 is indeed difficult."
[Can you guys please stop being so rude? Luo Xiyao is absolutely right. Can't Brother Xue even say a word of agreement? Does saying so make you a simp? I think you all have some serious illness; you should go to the hospital for treatment!]
Xue Jiashu's agent, Yuan Fen, took a few moments during her work breaks to check on Xue Jiashu's live stream.
After scanning the comments, she quickly checked Xue Jiashu's expression.
Sure enough, Xue Jiashu would often stare at Ning Yao with a dazed look, as if he were daydreaming and infatuated.
Yuan Fen was so angry her face turned green. She immediately reminded Xue Jiashu, "Control your emotions and stop looking at Luo Xiyao like that. Many fans online are already furious and think your behavior is too much of a sycophant, which is a turn-off!"
Xue Jiashu was wearing a miniature bone conduction headset, hidden in his hair at his temples, so only he could hear Yuan Fen's voice.
He was recording a program, and the microphone provided by the production team was clipped to his collar, so his voice would be recorded and transmitted directly into the live broadcast room.
He couldn't reply to Yuan Fen's words, but he showed through his actions that he didn't care what his fans thought or how they felt. He continued to openly stare at Ning Yao, and his gaze became increasingly undisguised.
It's not illegal to look. If we don't let him touch it, can't we at least look at it?
Xue Jiashu sneered inwardly. It was indeed a rare opportunity for him to cooperate with Ning Yao again, so he would make the most of it.
Yuan Fen was once again enraged by Xue Jiashu's disobedience, but there was nothing she could do. In any case, she just needed to fulfill her obligations. If Xue Jiashu wanted to court death, then let him be.
He might get lucky once or twice, and there's still room for maneuver, but he might not be so lucky next time.
He's ruining himself, while Yuanfen is enjoying a carefree life.
With this in mind, Yuan Fen gradually calmed herself down, then ripped off the headset, turned it off, and tossed it aside.
Out of sight, out of mind. Since Xue Jiashu is disobedient anyway, why should she bother with him?
