"Who knows, maybe they’re relatives?"
"Relatives don’t act like that, do they? I’d love to have an assistant like that."
Actually, Chu Tian heard their conversation, but so what?
Although he was an assistant, it was just an identity. After all, did anyone really take him for an assistant?
If he weren’t afraid of the hassle of revealing his identity, wouldn’t people everywhere cater to him?
Even if he only revealed his status as a novelist, although not very influential, at least he wouldn’t have to worry about food and clothing.
Since he was free from financial worries and stress, why not live a bit more relaxed?
"No need to go to work, no need to endure disapproving looks from the boss~"
"If I’m upset, I can just leave~"
"If you don’t like it, too bad, I’m just cheeky~"
"With music, I’m willing~"
Chu Tian completely let himself go, belting out an off-key song as he sauntered to a suitable spot by the lake.
First, he prepared the fishing spot. Just as he baited the hook, Chu Tian suddenly rembered that to sing GALA’s "Four Years Since Debut" well, he needed to pair it with his cheeky expression, or it would lack flavor.
So, he cast his line, then awkwardly twisted his body as he sang again.
"No need to go to work, no need to endure disapproving looks from the boss~"
Just as Yiyi arrived at Xu Qingqiu’s place, the crew told her she couldn’t go. She had no choice but to go back and look for Chu Tian, only to arrive at the lakeside and witness this cringe-worthy scene.
"Chu Tian... what are you doing?"
Exposed?
Chu Tian quickly turned around. Seeing Yiyi’s jaw dropped in shock, he chuckled awkwardly and said, "Nothing much, just singing a song since I’m bored."
"Singing? You call that singing? I think you’d better not sing. When I was coming here, people on the road thought this place was haunted."
"Really? Is it that exaggerated?"
"Yes!"
Seeing her nod without hesitation, Chu Tian scoffed. A bunch of uncultured people, no appreciation.
What is this? This is the Tenth Art! Only those whose spiritual fluctuations transcend the ordinary can appreciate it.
Facing soone with no artistic sense, Chu Tian didn’t bother to explain and decided to focus on fishing instead.
With the Master of Fishing skill obtained from the system, he felt like an old hand. He watched the water and sensed the rod’s movent, as if he understood the underwater situation quite well.
The mont the float dipped, he quickly lifted the rod, then released his grip.
Lifting the rod was to hook the fish properly. Releasing his grip was to feel the fish’s weight and prepare to tire it out, preventing the line from snapping.
Thanks to his skilled manipulation, in less than a minute, a fish leaped out of the water, pulled by the line.
"Wow! You got one! You really got one! Such a big fish!"
Yiyi, who had been dozing off beside him, imdiately perked up upon seeing the fish in the air. She shrieked and jumped to her feet.
"Hey, basic stuff. Why are you shouting? Give the landing net."
"Landing net?"
"That one! The net under your feet."
On one hand was the joyful scene of fishing; on the other, it was akin to a Shura Field.
A group of strangers living in one house always requires so ti to get used to each other. Plus, with people from different regions and environnts, it was an understatent to say that complications would arise.
Originally, Xu Qingqiu thought this was just a simple travel show. However, after being mocked by Sister Hua, she realized it wasn’t that simple; in fact, it was quite troubleso.
For instance, on the first day, a faucet broke. With so many people, not one knew how to fix it; instead, they made it worse.
The crew happily fild, watched, and laughed at the whole scene but offered no help.
That wasn’t the end of it. Soon after the faucet was temporarily plugged, two youngsters started arguing for so reason, and one of them even cried.
A group of people spent a long ti comforting and diating. They struggled for quite a while, only to realize they were all hungry and none of them had eaten lunch.
Not only had they not eaten, but the crew also hadn’t planned to provide lunch, leaving them to cook for themselves. But what could they cook when the fridge was empty?
Eventually, after so discussion, the group decided to scout the surroundings for food.
The rest stayed back to clean. Everything seed okay, but reality can sotis be more bizarre than a drama. No matter how foolproof sothing seems, a snag can still appear.
There were no shops nearby; the only one had been commandeered by the crew. After walking around, they only managed to get two bags of noodles and a bag of eggs, and those weren’t even bought from a proper store.
They went to the shop, but they couldn’t use cash. They could only use the currency provided by the crew, which they had to earn by working.
So, they had no choice but to go back.
Back at the dorm, everyone was famished and irritable. Staring at the lonely bags of noodles and eggs on the table, so got so frustrated they just went back to sleep.
Xu Qingqiu, seeing that everyone was truly at a loss, stood up and said, "Um, I have a suggestion. I saw a vegetable garden out back earlier. I asked the director team, and they said we can use it. The kitchen has spices too. How about I go pick so vegetables and cook noodles for everyone?"
"Wow! Sister Qiu, you can cook noodles? That’s great! Finally, we don’t have to starve."
"BOO HOO HOO, I’m starving to death! Sister Qiu, you’re my savior!"
"Please, Sister Qiu, our stomachs are all counting on you."
