Jing MO felt an odd sensation as Xia Xin whispered “big brother” into his ear. He quickly turned his face away.
“Are you blushing?” Xia Xin couldn’t help but laugh.
Xu Zhi watched their exchange, his brow furrowing in response. [Why can’t the camera zoom in a bit? What are they whispering about?]
[Guys, I’m reading their lips; they’re discussing about Lu Shi. It seems like they’re not impressed with him, saying he’s inept. No offense meant, apparently.]
[They’re talking about our Lu Shi?]
[How dare they! Lu Shi is so generous, handsome, wealthy, and a true gentleman. How could they badmouth him?] [Exactly, they must have nothing better to do.]
[It’s got to be Zhou Lian; she’s the chatty one.]
[That woman is a piece of work, clung to Lu Shi, and got rejected. Now she’s spreading lies about him, after all the trust he placed in her.]
[Our Lu Shi takes such good care of his fans. You can tell he’s got character.]
[My goodness, are these Lu Shi’s deluded fans? They don’t think before they speak, do they?]
[Lu Shi’s all about the idol image, not real talent. If he were mean to his fans, he’d be finished.]
[Not every artist with talent acts high and mighty. At least our Jing MO isn’t like that.]
[You think Jing Mot s a saint? Anyone who gossips is no good!] [Who did Jing MO gossip about?]
[They were implying Jing MO talked smack about Lu Shi!]
[Shush; Jing MO was just advising Xia Xin to be cautious.]
[No matter what, they were discussing Lu Shi, and only then did Jing MO come to the safety conclusion. I used to be neutral, but now, I’m starting to dislike him.]
[Oh my, are Lu Shi’s fans always this annoying? Now I’m starting to dislike him because his fans can’t be reined in.]
The debate amongst Lu Shi’s fans took over the live feed, focusing mostly on their defenses of him. Meanwhile, Lu Shi, oblivious to the online fervor, was busy munching on his snacks, glancing over at Xia Xin every now and then.
‘Why hadn’t she given me any face? No, I must have a proper chat with Xia Xin later.’ Lu Shi thought.
As soon as everyone headed out for the day’s tasks, Lu Shi had tail Xia Xin’s group. It would be great if he could scavenge something. If not, he’d find an excuse to talk to her, make his presence felt.
Once everyone had their fill, they started planning for the new day.
“We’ll head this way,” Xu Zhi pointed out a path to Zhou Lian.
“There are three directions here. Why don’t we all go together?” Zhou Lian suggested, looking towards Xia Xin.
Xia Xin shook her head, “No thanks, I prefer doing things my own way.”
“Oh, alright then. So, we’ll find food while we’re out, and we’ll all eat together when we return, right?” Zhou Lian asked.
“Of course, we’ve got to eat. I need to rest at noon or I’ll get headaches,” Xia Xin replied.
After agreeing on their routes, everyone grabbed their gear and prepared to leave. Lu Shi hurried down from his hammock, calling out to Tian Mei, pretending they had a task at hand.
Tian Mei’s spirits lifted at his call, “Okay, Lu Shi, wait for me!”
[Do those two even have a clue?]
[They’re lacking more than a clue; they seem to be lacking calcium, too.]
[They’re going out empty-handed; do they think they can heal injured animals by touch?]
[Our Lu Shi must have forgotten, that’s all!]
[Remembering to do a task but forgetting what it is? His brain might as well be decorative.]
[Tian Mei’s got snacks, right? Let her carry the food. Why should she get her hands dirty with the rough work like treating the animals?]
[Are they here for a holiday or a task? If they can’t handle the dirty work, why sign up for the show?]
[Brains are useful, a pity neither you nor your idol have one..]
