The task for the second day was to help an old grandma plant rice seedlings in her field.
Ji Zhaoxi woke up the earliest. There was a pile of waterproof overalls at the door in several colors, and she decisively chose the most eye-catching fluorescent one.
Before the cameraman could even react, she had already put it all on, looking like a walking lightbulb.
Her scene-stealing skills had reached the point of perfection.
Jiang Yanchen came out of the house with a dark expression. There were dark circles under his eyes, and he looked to be in a very bad mood. Naturally, the others didn't dare to cross him.
"Teacher Jiang, did you sleep well last night?" The cameraman aimed the lens at Jiang Yanchen.
Although Jiang Yanchen had a terrible temper, his face was simply too perfect for the camera. He hadn't styled his hair, leaving it a bit messy, but with a face like that, it just gave off a lazy, relaxed vibe.
Jiang Yanchen kept a cold face: "No."
At this moment, Ji Zhaoxi stood sneakily behind Jiang Yanchen, showing off her exquisite golden left profile.
She occasionally checked to see if the camera was capturing her.
Holding back his laughter, the cameraman kindly left a small spot for Ji Zhaoxi in the bottom left corner of the frame.
Ji Zhaoxi pretended to casually wipe her sweat, revealing her full face to the camera for a few seconds.
[Jiang Yanchen, do you know your back is haunted?]
[Can someone tell me what kind of creature is in the bottom left corner?]
[Ji Zhaoxi really doesn't miss a single chance to steal the spotlight. Weren't yesterday's shots enough to satisfy her?]
[Poor A-Yan, making someone else look good without even realizing it.]
[What is Ji Zhaoxi constantly wiping with that tissue? She's about to rub her skin off.]
Jiang Yanchen frowned, sensing something off behind him. He turned his head and saw Ji Zhaoxi holding a hoe, looking like she was deep in thought.
Seeing him look at her, she smiled and nodded at him, looking the picture of obedience.
Jiang Yanchen felt he definitely hadn't slept enough and wasn't thinking straight.
Given her performance last night, she was nowhere near obedient.
Lin Yichen was also trying to steal screen time everywhere, but the others clearly didn't want to engage with him much.
"Oh my god, you can't even fit into clothes this big? You really need to lose weight, Sister Mubai." Lin Yichen couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Ye Mubai's face instantly flushed red. She laughed dryly, "This is indeed a bit small for me."
Ye Mubai's status in the show wasn't low; she was currently the most popular comedy actress, and usually took on the role of the funny one in variety shows.
She had experienced these kinds of jokes about her figure way too many times.
Lin Yichen sighed and looked at the production crew: "Don't you have bigger clothes? You should at least consider every guest's body type."
Knowing there was another set in the house, he smiled at Ye Mubai: "Sister Mubai, I'll go get it for you. Don't wear this one."
Ye Mubai breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Yichen was just a bit blunt, but he had a good heart.
[I told you, our baby Yichen is really nice and attentive. He just has a bit of low EQ, he's really not a bad kid, boohoo.]
[Where are the people who scolded Lin Yichen yesterday? Why aren't they speaking up now?]
[This just highlights even more that Ji Zhaoxi is no good. Yichen helps Ye Mubai get clothes, while Ji Zhaoxi only knows how to steal screen time.]
[Our baby is so good, crying.]
[With a teammate like Lin Yichen, the other guests should be secretly rejoicing.]
The sun in the village was particularly brutal. The guests from the show were exhausted just from walking to the fields.
Ji Zhaoxi kept following Jiang Yanchen at a moderate distance.
Jiang Yanchen was a big shot, after all, with several cameramen following him. No one else had this kind of treatment. Maybe she could snag even more screen time.
Thus, in all of Jiang Yanchen's shots, there was always a shadow of Ji Zhaoxi in one of the corners.
Jiang Yanchen's fans: ...
Everyone was still not very familiar with each other and didn't talk much. The most outgoing one was Lin Yichen, who could strike up a conversation with anyone.
"Sister Mubai, I feel like the ground shakes when I walk with you," Lin Yichen joked. "Make sure you don't jump around later, or I'll fall over."
Ye Mubai felt very embarrassed, but she couldn't show that she cared too much. She just forced a smile: "Then I'll tell you in advance when I'm going to jump, so you can stand firm."
Lin Yichen seemed not to know when to stop. He sighed: "Sister Mubai, with your tonnage, I won't be able to stand firm no matter how I try."
Ye Mubai laughed awkwardly a few times and didn't say anything else.
She looked at Ji Zhaoxi walking ahead, a hint of envy in her eyes.
If only she were Ji Zhaoxi, she would definitely be able to come up with a retort against Lin Yichen right now.
They soon arrived at the grandma's field. The field was very large, and planting it full of seedlings was not going to be an easy task.
Ji Zhaoxi tied up her hair and started working.
She bent down, holding a large handful of seedlings in her left hand, quickly separated a few with her right hand, and smoothly planted them into the mud.
Her movements were clean and skilled.
Jiang Yanchen frowned as he held his seedlings. He looked at Ji Zhaoxi next to him and imitated her, bending down to plant them, but the ones he planted floated up shortly after.
Ji Zhaoxi had already planted a whole row, while he was still standing at the starting point.
As Jiang Yanchen was planting, he suddenly felt a cold sensation on his leg. He looked down, and his pupils instantly shrank.
A dark brown, soft-bodied creature was stuck tightly to his skin like a bizarre suction cup, its fat body slowly wriggling as it sucked his blood.
This subtle itchiness made his entire body freeze. He felt so disgusted he was about to throw up.
At this time, Ji Zhaoxi had already huffed and puffed her way through finishing the second row. She glanced to the side and saw Jiang Yanchen standing motionless in place.
Was he striking a pose? So professional!
There was some admiration in Ji Zhaoxi's eyes.
She planted for a while longer, then looked over again, a bit of doubt in her eyes.
Could Jiang Yanchen be shooting a commercial right now?
She absolutely had to go steal a shot!
When she ran over panting, she realized something was wrong with Jiang Yanchen. His face was extremely pale, and he looked like he was about to pass out.
She tentatively looked forward and saw the leech frantically sucking blood on his leg. The leech was sucking happily and looked very energetic.
Jiang Yanchen looked at Ji Zhaoxi in front of him with a pale face.
Ji Zhaoxi casually picked up a small wooden stick from the field, wedged it under the edge of the leech's sucker, and with a forceful flick, sent the leech flying.
The cameraman was startled by the leech falling from the sky and quickly jumped away.
Ji Zhaoxi didn't say anything to Jiang Yanchen and resumed her grand task of planting rice.
The feeling of nausea still lingered. Jiang Yanchen looked at Ji Zhaoxi's back, then lowered his head and continued planting.
[Ahhhh so disgusting, the production crew is dead! The director is dead! They aren't even helping!]
[A-Yan is most afraid of soft-bodied animals, so gross.]
[This is literally a childhood nightmare. I got sucked by a leech when I was little too.]
[Wait a minute, did Ji Zhaoxi touch A-Yan's leg?]
[What's the person above whining about? If Jiang Yanchen gets sucked dry, you won't have to worry about whether someone touched his precious leg or not.]
