“Not only do I know who the man is, I even know who his ancestors are.”
…
In other words, Lu Jingzhi had already conducted his investigation.
“You can be rest assured. I will pay more attention and I will make sure to keep my distance from him,” Jiang Yuning replied as she took this opportunity to hold Lu Jingzhi’s hand as she looked at him.
“It’s okay, you don’t need to.” Unexpectedly, Lu Jingzhi was very calm this time. “Because I believe that my little fool is only fascinated and in love with me. That is why I do not need to worry or compare with anyone else.”
This was because Lu Jingzhi could tell how much Jiang Yuning loved and adored him simply from the way she would always look at him. Therefore, he did not need to feel insecure at all.
Jiang Yuning could only smile as she looked at him.
After a short pause, Lu Jingzhi suddenly asked, “Did you ask me that question on purpose?”
“Second brother, I have no other intentions. You know how much I love you. Sometimes, it seems as though we have so many obstacles and challenges in our way, but I do not want us to be playing games. I do not want to compete with you and it does not matter if I win or lose before you. I just feel that I love you more and more every day.”
Lu Jingzhi could feel his heart melting immediately.
Jiang Yuning was really the sweetest person when it came to love.
…
Time flew by quickly and in a blink of an eye, it was already Friday.
The fans of <Desert Island Rescue> were all extremely excited because the second issue of the variety show would be aired today.
[Oh my god. Why am I so fascinated by this variety show? Did they cast a spell on me?]
[It is usually very difficult for my family of five to eat together during the weekdays but since <Desert Island Rescue> started airing two weeks ago, we have been eating dinner together every Friday! Thank you <Desert Island Rescue> for reuniting my family! (smiley emoji)]
[Hahaha. You are really very pitiful.]
[The electricity at my house got cut off today. I am going over to my neighbor’s house to see if I could watch the variety show together with them even though I have just bickered with my neighbor for over an hour yesterday! I don’t even care about my own face anymore!]
The fans started talking to one another as they posted on the internet before the second issue of <Desert Island Rescue> aired.
Very soon, it was already seven thirty at night.
After the short opening song, the production team focused on the nine participants as they crowded in the bus on their way to their destination for this week’s mission. The production team intentionally focused on the scene depicting Jin Mingchen vomiting halfway through the journey.
The production team also included a caption to remind the audience that the participants had no clue at all about the contents of the second issue of the shoot. They did not even know where they were headed to at this time. After spending more than nine hours on the bus, the production cast and crew finally arrived at the supply station in the middle of the desert.
At this point, all of them were already tired after the long and bumpy bus ride but as soon as they got off the bus, all of them widened their eyes in surprise. Jin Mingchen was then seen covering his mouth that was wide open in shock as he pointed at the production team and asked them if this was too much! Wasn’t this program supposed to be filmed on a deserted island?
One of the producers than took out the loudspeaker before he yelled at Jin Mingchen, “This is a desert that is located on an isolated island. Therefore, this is still considered a deserted island. Do you understand?”
What was even more hilarious was that post-production, the editing team added some special effects which depicted a hurricane blasting directly at Jin Mingchen.
[Oh my gosh. My tummy is already hurting from laughing so much. I can’t believe that this issue is already hilarious from the beginning.]
[Our Mingming is really weak, helpless, and pitiful…but I really can’t stop myself from laughing at all of his antics.]
The production team subsequently announced that all the guests would be spending the night at the accommodation provided at the supply station and they would only officially begin filming the program the next day. As they were registering to enter their accommodation, the production team announced that all of the guests should hand in their cell phones before entering their respective bedrooms.
After that, there was another row of caption on the screen.
“The production team decided to seize the participants’ cell phones in an attempt to prevent Jiang Yuning from using her cell phone to come up with a strategy to survive in the desert.”
The worse thing was when one of the deputy producers suddenly said, “Make sure to take Jiang Yuning’s cell phone no matter what happens. It does not really matter if you do not take Jin Mingchen’s cell phone from him.”
The audience could not help but laugh out loud at that image.
[Production team, my stomach is really hurting right now. Are you going to be responsible for my pain?]
[The production team are clearly doing all that they can to stop the participants from completing their mission easily!]
However, this was just a small part of the episode. The production team subsequently showed the scene where Jin Mingchen secretly ran to Jiang Yuning’s room and knocked on her bedroom door a couple of times because he wanted to get some tips from her. The audience could not contain their laughter when they saw how hilarious Jin Mingchen looked.
The funniest scene was when Jiang Yuning wrote a note and stuck it directly on her bedroom door to stop them from knocking on her bedroom door: “Jin Mingchen, if you knock on my door one more time, I will hit you directly on your head.”
The audience burst into laughter again.
It was only when the lights were finally turned off in the middle of the night that the audience could finally wipe away their tears and catch their breath in anticipation for the next scene.
Very soon, it was already morning and all nine guest members gathered early in the morning to have their breakfast as the production team announced the teams and the rules and regulations for the mission this time.
The audience were in disbelief when they heard the production team announcing that the guests would be given the opportunity to take whatever they wanted from the supermarket together with them to complete their mission in the desert. However, the audience subconsciously felt that the production team would not be so kind and lenient.
The production team subsequently announced that since Xu Beishen and her teammates came in the last place during the first issue, they would receive a punishment for this current mission. In this issue, their punishment was that they would only be allowed to carry five items with them into the desert. As soon as Jin Mingchen heard the producer’s words, he sat down on the ground and starting crying immediately.
[This child is really making me laugh to death.]
[Jiang Yuning is the brain of the show and Jin Mingchen brings all the laughter!]
[Mingming is too pitiful. He is still a child.]
The audience continued commenting and laughing at the image on the screen but at this time, Jiang Yuning suddenly step forward and told the producers that she would like to replace Jin Mingchen and takeover his punishment instead.
The production team tried to discourage Jiang Yuning but she was very persistent and adamant.
Jin Mingchen was extremely moved and he kept sobbing while he thanked Jiang Yuning but at this time, Jiang Yuning looked at him with a cold expression on her face before she said, “Promise me one thing. Make sure that you bring enough items with you into the desert so that you will not cause any more trouble to anyone else.”
The production team even added special effects to make it seem as though Jin Mingchen had just been struck by lightning.
[I can’t take it anymore. This is way too hilarious!]
[Although Jiang Yuning is very cold to Jin Mingchen, it is obvious that she is taking care of him!]
[If there is anyone who is willing to take such good care of me in the desert, I wouldn’t even mind if they were cold to me.]
After that, the nine participants headed into the supermarket to grab everything that they needed.
Jiang Yuning’s team remained calm and they did not rush to take everything that they see. They stood at the side and observed what the other participants were bringing along with them before they finally gathered together to discuss their strategy and listen to Jiang Yuning’s opinion.
A short while later, the audience realized that the items that Jiang Yuning had instructed Tong Tong to carry with him was in fact much more practical and useful in comparison to what the other guests packed into their bags.
However, some of the audience were skeptical and could not help but wonder if Jiang Yuning’s team could really survive if they had brought so little water with them.
Moreover, the audience could not understand why Jiang Yuning would bring cling wrap along with her when she already had a limited number of items that she could bring along with her.
Was Jiang Yuning also clueless on how she could survive in the desert?
After everyone was done at the supermarket, the production team officially announced the start of the mission. At this time, each of the four teams were given a map before they were placed at four different starting points by the production crew.
The audience could see that the production team had intentionally separated Jin Mingchen from Jiang Yuning by placing their teams at completely opposite directions.
The four teams then began their expedition into the desert…
Based on Jiang Yuning’s current performance, the audience has not seen her potential in the desert yet. This was because the audience consisted of mainly people who had never been in the desert before and they would not know the significance of the items that she brought along with her.
Did the production team successfully stop Jiang Yuning this time?
