Chapter 42

Jiang Feng didn’t know that the program team deliberately operated in secret and put Xia Shutong and Zhou Hanchi into a group. She thought Xia Shutong was not in the same group as Yun Feiwu, so in a rage, she tore up the lottery paper at the director.

However, Xia Shutong still didn’t get Yun Feiwu in the second lottery draw. Jiang Feng subconsciously felt that it was not the lottery paper that Mr. Xia wanted to tear up this time, but her people!

What’s more, after Jiang Feng discovered Xia Shutong and Yun Feiwu’s “little” secret, he hid from Xia Shutong whenever he could, for fear that he would accidentally reveal something and be silenced by President Xia.

Of course she didn’t want to team up with Xia Shutong this time.

When the camera pointed at it, Jiang Feng was supporting Xi Ao’s arm, his legs were shaking like a sieve.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see how afraid she is of Xia Shutong.

The point is that Jiang Feng still insisted on talking nonsense: “I, I’m not afraid of you, Mr. Xia, you don’t, don’t think too much! I just think that Yunyun knows you well, so she will be able to cooperate better with you! I’m not good enough for you!”

Xi Ao supported her, but still couldn’t help giving her a disgusted look.

The scene was very embarrassing for a while.

In the end, Xia Shutong thought about it: “Director Wang, you said that the grouping is for doing tasks, so can you tell me now, what tasks are there?”

“It’s not convenient to disclose all the tasks now, but the main tasks are picking vegetables, planting fields, selling vegetables at the market, and cooking at home.” The director said haha, “The three teams will compete , the losing team will take on the task of washing dishes for the day, as well as other punishments.”

The director said it very generally, but Xia Shutong still got a message from his words: almost all tasks are linked to physical strength.

Let’s not talk about picking vegetables and farming. Selling vegetables seems simple, but it also needs to be transported to the market. As for cooking, there is obviously no natural gas stove here. To make a fire, you need to cut wood, and you may even need to make your own stove. Tables and hobs are also a laborious task.

Following the director’s explanation, other people obviously thought of this question as well.

Zhou Hanchi took the lead and said, “Director Wang, your grouping method may not be fair.”

“Six people are divided into three groups, either I and A Chao are two men, and the other four women are divided into two groups, or I and A Chao each form a team with a woman, but there will still be two women left. “Zhou Hanchi’s smile is always gentle, not aggressive at all, “In terms of physiological structure, men are more suitable for physical work than women in most cases, and most of the tasks of your program group are linked to physical strength, so it is really unfair to group them. ”

The director scratched his head: “So, what do Mr. Xia and Mr. Zhou think?”

“Men’s team and women’s team.” Xia Shutong said lightly, “Our two groups compete.”

Zhou Hanchi also nodded gently, expressing his agreement.

The production team discussed it and quickly agreed to their method.

The grouping is over, and today’s day’s shooting is complete. Several people began to pack their luggage and move into their respective houses. There is no camera in the house, but the cameraman followed him in, and filmed the reactions of the guests entering the house for the first time.

There are two wooden beds in the house, both of which have been covered with brand new sheets. There is a small cabinet next to the bed. There is no bathroom in the room. Although the environment is very simple, it is obviously cleaned carefully, without any trace of mess. The conditions are even better than Xia Shutong’s home in Yuncheng.

As soon as the big cameraman left, Xia Shutong and Yun Feiwu were the only ones left in the room, and the atmosphere instantly became charming.

Because there were people staring at them all the time, they didn’t say a few words today, and the most physical contact was the princess hugging halfway.

Even thinking about it now, Xia Shutong still blushes a little.

She lowered her head and opened the suitcase without saying a word, but Yun Feiwu looked at her at this moment: “Mr. Xia, what are you thinking?”

Under the dim light in the room, Yun Feiwu obviously noticed her blushing.

“No, it’s nothing…” Xia Shutong licked her lips, and picked up a topic casually, “Yun Feiwu, do you think… Jiang Feng is afraid of me? Always avoiding me, am I that scary?”

Yun Feiwu chuckled lightly.

“Sister, are you scary?”

Yun Feiwu was also squatting on the ground to pack his suitcase, but now he was half kneeling on the ground, leaning towards Xia Shutong with one hand propped on the ground.

Xia Shutong was unprepared at all, and Yun Feiwu raised his chin just like that.

The crimson cheeks were completely exposed to Yun Feiwu’s vision.

His eyes also met Shang Yun Feiwu’s deep eyes with obvious ambiguous light spots.

Xia Shutong’s legs softened, and she sat down directly on the ground from a squatting position.

Yun Feiwu’s knee moved slightly, then moved forward again, and his fingers pinched Xia Shutong’s chin instead: “Is this scary?”

Xia Shutong propped her hands behind her back and gave an indistinct “hmm”.

She already… Can’t remember what she was talking to Yun Feiwu just now, and she just answered her instinctively.

It was already a tiring day today, and my head was already a little unconscious, so Xia Shutong simply gave up thinking and just looked at Yun Feiwu pitifully, waiting for her next move.

Yun Feiwu moved forward again as if he had received some signal.

Getting closer.

Xia Shutong closed her eyes.

At this time, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

Zhou Hanchi’s voice came from outside: “President Xia? Are you free?”

Xia Shutong opened his eyes, and the two took a step back as if waking up from a dream at the same time. Xia Shutong immediately hugged his cheeks with cold hands, and quickly faded away the blush on his face.

A few seconds later, Xia Shutong stood up and opened the door, while Yun Feiwu continued to squat on the ground to pack his clothes.

Zhou Hanchi stood outside the door with a slightly cramped smile: “President Xia, do you have time? I have something to say to you.”

“Yes.” Xia Shutong looked at Zhou Hanchi’s face and thought, “Say it in the yard?”

“Ok.”

It was late at night, and there was silence in the courtyard, with the starry sky above.

“Mr. Xia, I’m here to apologize to you.” Zhou Hanchi said, “I didn’t know about the secret draw of today’s program group, but now I can guess some.”

Xia Shutong raised her eyebrows, waiting for his next words.

Zhou Hanchi continued: “I did have contact with Grandpa Xia before, and he also implicitly expressed his willingness to marry. I declined him at that time. I didn’t expect to bring you so much trouble. I’m really sorry.”

Zhou Hanchi’s expression was very sincere, and his tone was also very sincere. Xia Shutong didn’t see a hint of lying in his eyes, so he nodded: “It’s okay.”

“President Xia, there is one more thing.” Zhou Hanchi did not leave, and continued, “Aside from our business today, Yun Yun and Ah Chao were assigned to a group, which should be a black-box operation of the program group. I hope you don’t blame Ah Chao. ”

“…No.” Xia Shutong spit out these two words slowly, and finally couldn’t help but say something more, “Mr. Zhou is really worried about his artists.”

— like a poor old mother who is worried.

Xia Shutong actually wanted to complain about the unspoken sentence. Zhou Hanchi’s attitude towards Ouyang Chao was really like an old mother who was dragged down by a bear child.

It’s just… quite inconsistent.

But she was arrogant, her eyes were teasing, and she only spoke the first half of the sentence, which seemed to be eccentric.

Zhou Hanchi smiled indifferently: “Indeed, our company is small, and I watched many artists grow up. I can be considered their half guardian.”

Xia Shutong’s heart moved, and he asked, “Yun Feiwu…is it too?”

“Well, I almost watched Yunyun grow little by little with my own eyes.” Zhou Hanchi paused, “However, Yunyun is relatively independent. She was fine when she was young, but she never got close to us when she grew up, and she has her own opinions on things. , unlike Ah Chao.”

Xia Shutong keenly noticed that when Zhou Hanchi said the word “A Chao” at the end, there was a sense of self-deprecation in it.

Sure enough, after Zhou Hanchi laughed a few times, he continued: “Although I haven’t asked Ah Chao, I can tell that he probably likes Yunyun.”

Xia Shutong frowned, and a trace of hostility flashed unconsciously in his eyes.

That Ouyang Chao really had unreasonable thoughts about Yun Feiwu.

“Yun Feiwu has no interest in him.” Xia Shutong said coldly.

Zhou Hanchi was frightened for a moment by Xia Shutong’s attitude that suddenly dropped to freezing point, but he immediately returned to a gentle smile: “President Xia, although I don’t understand Yunyun’s thoughts, I can see this. It’s just that I think… this is after all As a half-elder, I have no right to interfere with the affairs of their juniors. Even if Ah Chao was rejected by Yunyun and hurt his heart, it is his own business, and I have no right to interfere.”

The meaning hidden in Zhou Hanchi’s words is very clear, he will not interfere with Ouyang Chao’s feelings, so I also hope that Xia Shutong will not vent his anger on Ouyang Chao.

After all, during these few meetings, Xia Shutong’s attitude towards Ouyang Chao was obviously very bad, so Zhou Hanchi was a little worried.

Xia Shutong smiled bitterly in his heart.

She wouldn’t do anything to Ouyang Chao just because he liked Yun Feiwu. Even before she lost her memory, she probably wouldn’t take action against others because of this kind of thing.

She knew that she was a cold-blooded lunatic before amnesia, but she also believed in her own principles.

According to the information provided by Qian Lingling, all the people she punished were people who had hurt her to varying degrees. It’s just that she is more ruthless and crazy than those people.

As for Ouyang Chao… It’s just because my heart is sour, so I often can’t help but stare at him.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Zhou, I’m not such an unreasonable person.” Xia Shutong said slowly, “Is there anything else Mr. Zhou wants to say? If not, I’ll go back and rest.”

“No, good night, Mr. Xia.” Zhou Hanchi didn’t leave immediately, but stood where he was, looking at Xia Shutong’s back.

Xia Shutong is tall and slender, with a natural hostility and wildness in his gestures, and gives people a sense of unattainable oppression.

But after ignoring this aura, Zhou Hanchi felt that her back matched a certain girl in his memory.

The girl was slender and fragile, like a porcelain doll that would shatter when touched. Occasionally, she would bow her head slightly because of shyness when she walked. She didn’t like to talk, and her voice was soft and waxy. It’s like being bullied. When Yun Feiwu was filming, she stayed alone in the corner and was easily overlooked.

That girl also has a pair of clear and beautiful apricot eyes, which people will never forget after just one glance.

Zhou Hanchi stood for a while, finally lit a cigarette, and decided to throw away this ridiculous idea.

…

After returning to the room, Yun Feiwu had already packed the luggage of the two of them. Now she put on her pajamas and was nestling under the quilt. There was still half of the space beside the bed, which was obviously reserved for Xia Shutong.

Xia Shutong took a look and found that the other bed was full of clothes, which Yun Feiwu used as a wardrobe. And the quilt on the bed…was also moved to the other side by Yun Feiwu.

“Mr. Xia, are you going to bed?” Yun Feiwu looked at her with burning eyes.

“…Yes.” Xia Shutong nodded.

After going out for a while, most of the nervousness just now dissipated, but now I have to change clothes in front of Yun Feiwu… It is really shameful.

Xia Shutong stood between the two beds, with his back to Yun Feiwu, and quickly took off his coat.

Next, there is the shirt inside.

Xia Shutong unbuttoned the buttons one by one from top to bottom, but when she reached the second button, she felt something, her hands trembled, and when she turned her head, she saw Yun Feiwu looking at her intently .

Xia Shutong: “…”

Xia Shutong said weakly: “Yun Feiwu, can you not look at it?”

Yun Feiwu tilted his head with innocent eyes.

“But there is no mobile phone, no TV, I am a bit bored.”

Indeed, except for Zhou Hanchi and Xia Shutong, the mobile phones of the other guests were confiscated.

So does this have anything to do with watching yourself change clothes? Xia Shutong took a deep breath, resisted the urge to roll her eyes, and threw her mobile phone to Yun Feiwu, coaxing a child: “Maomao, go play with your mobile phone, don’t…don’t look at me.”

Yun Feiwu picked up the phone, turned his head obediently, but didn’t look at the phone.

She admitted that she just wanted to hear the phrase “cat cat” that Xia Shutong used to coax her.

I don’t know when it started, Xia Shutong occasionally started calling her that way again.

Since she was a child, she liked Xia Ruan calling her that, because it was the name Xia Ruan gave her, and it was a secret that belonged to both of them. Even later, many people in Xinghui Company also called her that, but Xia Ruan is different from all of them.

After a while, Xia Shutong changed into her pajamas and sat on the bed, Yun Feiwu hugged her immediately: “Sister?”

When they squatted on the ground to pack their luggage just now, if it wasn’t for Zhou Hanchi’s interruption, they would have almost kissed each other.

Yun Feiwu still remembered it.

Xia Shutong shrank softly under the quilt, suppressing her voice: “No.”

Yun Feiwu looked at her with a pair of eyes, and although he didn’t continue to move, he let out an aggrieved “woo”.

“Because now… on the bed, so, no.” Xia Shutong stretched out his arms to hug Yun Feiwu through the thick quilt, and said weakly, “Poor sound insulation…you will be heard.”

Of course it doesn’t matter if it’s just a kiss, but now that they’re in bed and the two of them changed into pajamas again, if they kiss each other… Xia Shutong doesn’t believe that Yun Feiwu can control things so that nothing happens.

So, it has to be cut off from the source.

Kiss are not allowed.

Yun Feiwu had no idea how bad his image was in Xia Shutong’s heart. At this moment, she just lowered her body, blinked aggrievedly, and her face was full of reluctance.

Xia Shutong breathed a sigh of relief.

Yun Feiwu, who was aggrieved and pitiful like a big dog, was much easier to deal with than Yun Feiwu, who was as strong and vicious as a big bad wolf.

So Xia Shutong stretched out a hand from under the quilt, moved down, and touched Yun Feiwu’s head: “Hey, go to bed. Let’s go back to Haicheng…”

He stood up slightly again, and kissed Yun Feiwu lightly on the forehead.

“Hmm~” Yun Feiwu elongated his voice and got into the quilt.

As soon as the lights were turned off, the room was immediately plunged into darkness.

Their fingers are tightly intertwined in the quilt, and their fingers are interlocked.

…

At seven o’clock in the morning, the program team used the horn in the yard to wake up the guests.

As soon as they went out, the director smiled and looked at them: “Everyone, now you have an hour to solve the breakfast problem. After breakfast, we will start our first task.”

“There are corresponding tools in the kitchen, and the fruit forest in the back mountain is not far away. You can freely choose whether to cook your own breakfast or go to the back mountain to pick fruits. The breakfast part is not included in the task, and the two groups can cooperate.”

Several people discussed it and decided to let the two men go to the back mountain to pick fruits, and the remaining four went to the kitchen to have a look.

In this small mountain village, the courtyard where the guests live is relatively luxurious, but the kitchen is still very simple. There is a certain gap between the walls on both sides and the roof, and only a rain cloth is used to block it slightly, and go out through the side door of the kitchen. It is the back mountain.

Soon, several people found rice and mung beans in the kitchen.

The pot is also clean, but the water has to be drawn from the nearby well, and the firewood is not readily available, so it needs to be split manually.

“I’m going to fetch water.” Xi Ao was the first to speak.

Jiang Feng glanced at Yun Feiwu and Xia Shutong, followed Xi Ao’s pace like a rabbit: “I, I, I will help you!”

“Mr. Xia, shall we chop firewood?”

After seeing Xia Shutong nodding, Yun Feiwu took the tools for chopping firewood and walked into the yard. Xia Shutong also carried a bundle of firewood and followed behind her.

After just a few steps, Xia Shutong was so tired that he gasped for a while after putting down the firewood.

She hasn’t done this kind of physical work for a long time, and because of her busy work, she doesn’t have many opportunities to exercise, so as time goes by, her physical fitness can’t keep up.

“Mr. Xia, wait.” Yun Feiwu immediately turned back to the kitchen, and took out a small stool from inside.

“Mr. Xia, you sit here.” She pointed to the small stool, and before Xia Shutong spoke, she continued, “Look at me chopping firewood, and we are also chopping together.”

In front of the camera, Yun Feiwu used an honorific title for Xia Shutong again.

Xia Shutong nodded, not trying to be brave.

She sat a few meters away, watching Yun Feiwu move.

The temperature in the mountains in spring is very low, but Yun Feiwu has always worn less clothes, and today she only wore a knitted sweater. When chopping firewood, she rolled up her sleeves, and her arms were smooth and powerful.

Also very nice.

At the beginning, her movements were a little stiff, but after she gradually found the knack, she became clean and beautiful.

Xia Shutong sat there looking at Yun Feiwu, his eyes gradually softened.

A few minutes later, Jiang Feng and Xi Ao came back with water. At this time, the firewood Yun Feiwu had split was enough to make a fire, but she didn’t intend to stop.

Xia Shutong frowned unconsciously: “Yun Feiwu, don’t you want to rest for a while?”

“It’s okay.” Yun Feiwu continued to move, “I still need firewood for lunch, so I’ll chop more now.”

“Then…” Xia Shutong struggled for a moment, “Don’t move yet.”

Yun Feiwu stopped at the sound.

Xia Shutong took out a wet tissue from her bag, walked over to wipe the thin beads of sweat on her forehead, and then returned to the small stool.

Yun Feiwu was slightly stunned, buried his head in chopping firewood for a while, and then suddenly said out of nowhere: “Actually…it’s not very hot.”

Yun Feiwu’s cheeks were slightly red, and it was unclear whether it was due to labor or other reasons.

But Xia Shutong immediately reacted – Yun Feiwu, a black-hearted wolf cub, was actually shy.

Xia Shutong lowered her head, covering the corner of her mouth for a smile.

However, when she looked up at Yun Feiwu again, her smile suddenly subsided.

On the woodpile beside Yun Feiwu, at some point, a black and yellow cauliflower snake climbed up.

The little snake spat out its core, watching Yun Feiwu’s movements alertly, a little scared and a little curious.

Just like…an ignorant child, he may go over to find out at any time.

Some random things flashed through Xia Shutong’s mind.

…

Yun Feiwu was not afraid of anything when he was a child.

Every time she encountered something, Xia Ruan was frightened and burrowed into her arms.

But Xia Ruan is not afraid of snakes alone, but Yun Feiwu is terribly afraid.

Even if it is a non-venomous cauliflower snake, Yun Feiwu will always be frightened when he sees it.

Even after a lot of stress, hearing the word “snake”, the body will instinctively tremble and cry.

…

At this time, Yun Feiwu was very focused when chopping firewood, and his eyes were always focused on the firewood pier, so he didn’t see the little cauliflower snake on the firewood pile.

The camera brother obviously didn’t notice either.

Xia Shutong stood up suddenly, almost instinctively said: “Yun Feiwu, put down the axe, look at me, don’t move.”

She didn’t say why, but Yun Feiwu slowly put the ax beside him without any doubt, and looked at Xia Shutong obediently.

Xia Shutong walked up to her in two or three steps, put his arms around her head, and said in a breathy voice that the microphone couldn’t capture: “Maomao, bow your head.”

Yun Feiwu realized something, his arms stiffened for a moment, but he obediently buried his head on Xia Shutong’s chest.

While holding Yun Feiwu, Xia Shutong kept gently stroking the back of her head with her fingers, while casting a cold glance at the photographer.

Following Xia Shutong’s gaze, the photographer finally saw the snake. He was about to open his mouth to call out, but after feeling Xia Shutong’s cold gaze, he held back abruptly, and finally just waved to other staff members. , several people quickly and quietly disposed of the snake.

After seeing the staff throw the snake into the forest, Xia Shutong patted Yun Feiwu on the back and took a step back: “Okay.”

“Yeah.” Yun Feiwu still lowered his head docilely, “Thank you, Mr. Xia.”

“Let’s rest for a while, don’t chop yet.” Xia Shutong pulled Yun Feiwu and sat on the small stool next to him.

Like a well-behaved and sensible child, Yun Feiwu followed Xia Shutong without saying a word.

Whatever Xia Shutong said, she did.

So good that it hurts.

Although the interaction between the two is in the eyes of the production team… there is always an indescribable subtle feeling.

After another ten minutes, the porridge was finally cooked, and Zhou Hanchi and the two also picked some green dates and came back.

After the six people finished their breakfast, the staff members came up with four large backpacks and announced the first task of the program.
