Chapter 325: Chapter 325: Yan Qi Seeking Death

Yan Qi’s face showed a hint of embarrassment as he apologized, "I’m sorry, Zeyi bro, I... I was too thirsty and accidentally drank it all."

The fans of Qi Zeyi and Yan Qi quarreled incessantly in the live broadcast room.

[What does Yan Qi mean by that? Our bro kindly shared his coconut juice with him, and he drank it all? Didn’t leave any for his teammates??]

[Yan Qi is so selfish, the Film Emperor Qi only had a few sips, and the rest was all guzzled down by him.]

[Fans of Film Emperor Qi, don’t be too harsh, is it worth slandering our bro over a coconut?]

[Our bro is still young and doesn’t understand, can’t you guys be a little more understanding?]

[Hehe, still young? Isn’t he already thirty years old? A whole cycle older than me, and still young?]

Yan Qi apologized to Qi Zeyi with his hands pressed together, "I’m sorry, Zeyi bro, I’ll find one to make it up to you tomorrow."

Qi Zeyi gave him a cold glance, "No need."

After that, he stopped paying attention to Yan Qi, turned to grab a sharp rock, and cracked open the hard shell of a coconut. He took out the coconut flesh and shared it with Qi Jingjing and Luo Tian, "You all worked hard finding food today."

Qi Jingjing accepted it with a delighted surprise, holding the coconut shell with flesh and smiling radiantly, "Thank you, Film Emperor Qi."

Luo Tian nodded slightly, "Thanks, you all had a tough time pitching tents too."

He shared it with Qi Jingjing and Luo Tian but didn’t share any more with Yan Qi, nor did he save any for Qin Manxiang.

Yan Qi had been waiting for Qi Zeyi to share some with him, after all, the coconut juice only satisfied his thirst and left nothing solid in his belly.

But Qi Zeyi didn’t even glance his way, making Yan Qi’s expression awkward and stirring a bit of resentment in his heart toward Qi Zeyi.

Was it necessary to treat him differently just because he drank a few sips of his coconut juice?

Just wait, he thought, tomorrow when I go looking for food, I’m sure to find plenty, and I definitely won’t share any with Qi Zeyi.

He completely forgot, it was precisely because he had first finished all the coconut juice that Qi Zeyi didn’t share with him.

The day of the variety show passed peacefully.

At eight in the morning, the new broadcast and recording began on schedule.

Gradually, early risers among the netizens joined the live broadcast room.

[The broadcast started so early, are the guests still in bed?]

[No, look, someone’s up.]

A tall, slender figure appeared wobbling on the screen.

The figure got closer and revealed the face of Shen Yanhe, bathed in the morning light.

Her bone structure and complexion were exceedingly beautiful, her skin ice-clear and bones jade-smooth, her features picturesque.

Those moist, catlike eyes shimmered with the brilliant light of dawn, her fair skin magnified by the camera at close range, flawless without a single imperfection.

Shen Yanhe was up early to exercise, wearing a set of black casual clothes, her cheeks rosy, her breath steady, carrying a fish and a wild chicken in her hands.

She walked leisurely toward the direction of the camp.

Barrage:

[Isn’t this sister getting up too early?]

[And look at the fish and chicken in her hands... my goodness, she truly lives up to the title of being the ’Combat Power’ of the program.]

[Shen Yanhe is really strong, after such a tiring day, while all other guests are still asleep, she’s up and about early.]

[Those fish and chickens must’ve been prepared by the crew, right? How could someone so easily catch so much food? Is Shen Yanhe coming into the show with her own supplies?]

[Upstairs, actually no, I saw it with my own eyes, the wild chicken and fish... they were really caught by her.]

The deputy director, just about to call the guests to wake up with a megaphone, also saw the fish and wild chicken in Shen Yanhe’s hands.

Deputy Director: "..."

The assistant director couldn’t hold back and turned back to the tent, looking at the director who was constantly yawning and scratching his thigh, he lowered his voice and asked, "Did you give Shen Yanhe special treatment?"

Groggily, the director lit a cigarette, "Special treatment?"

"Yeah, even if Shen Yanhe is our ancestor, we’re in the middle of filming the show, the special treatment shouldn’t be so obvious, should it?" the assistant director said with earnest concern.

"We could do it behind the scenes, being so obvious is just asking for criticism, right?"

The director exhaled a puff of smoke and raised his hand to stop the assistant director’s words, "Wait, wait, what special treatment are you talking about?"

"The pheasant and fish Shen Yanhe was carrying, wasn’t that from you?" the assistant director frowned and asked.

The director: "..."

"I didn’t give a damn thing, I just woke up, and besides, that ancestor is too incredible, I can’t even find a chance to give her special treatment!"

The assistant director was stupefied.

Was it really Shen Yanhe who caught them herself?

"Next, let’s focus the camera on her to avoid any viewers claiming we’re cheating," the director scratched his head, looking at the questioning comments already appearing in the live stream, he said.

The assistant director nodded, "Alright, then I’ll go wake up the guests."

Clutching a megaphone, the assistant director went out again, raising his voice to announce, "Time to get up! Considering some guests didn’t get enough food yesterday, the director and I have decided to kindly provide breakfast for all the guests this morning."

The assistant director’s voice roused the still-sleeping guests.

Song Shiwei, looking refreshed, stepped out of the tent and, seeing Shen Yanhe coming back from outside, showed a hint of surprise, "Yanyan, how did you get up so early?"

"Biological clock, I’m used to it," Shen Yanhe replied indifferently, placing the fish and pheasant on the ground, "Get them all up, I’m going to fetch breakfast."

"Yanhe, I can go," said Su Qi, neatly dressed as he came out of another tent.

Shen Yanhe nodded slightly, "Okay."

Su Qi went to get the morning’s breakfast from the assistant director, egg pancakes.

On his way back, he ran into Yan Qi.

Yan Qi looked listless, with dark circles under his eyes and his head sporting several large mosquito bites.

It seemed he hadn’t slept well last night.

Enduring the itch on his forehead, Yan Qi’s eyes lit up with craving when he saw the egg pancakes in Su Qi’s hands.

He hadn’t eaten enough yesterday and had hoped that sleeping would quell the hunger.

Who would have thought there would be so many mosquitoes by the sea!

They continuously targeted him, biting him, and even the mosquito repellent provided by the crew didn’t work, leaving him itchy and unable to sleep well throughout the night.

Now, he was hungry, sleepy, and itchy, extremely irritated but unable to show it in front of the camera.

"Su Qi, you’re holding so many egg pancakes, your team is all girls, they probably won’t finish them, right?" Yan Qi said with a hopeful smile, reaching out to the egg pancakes in Su Qi’s embrace, "Why don’t you share some with us? When we find food today, we’ll share some with you too."

Su Qi took a step back, avoiding Yan Qi’s hand, and gave him a cold glance, "Scram."

Yan Qi’s hand froze, his facial expression twisting momentarily.

Ignoring him, Su Qi carried the egg pancakes back to camp.

Only after he left did Yan Qi snap back to reality, a shade of darkness flickering in his eyes. After collecting his own egg pancakes from the assistant director, he passed by Shen Yanhe’s camp.

"Accidentally" glancing over, he saw the fish and pheasant Shen Yanhe had placed on the ground.

Yan Qi’s steps hesitated, and he returned to his camp with an unsettled face.

After washing up, Qi Jingjing noticed his gloomy return and asked in confusion, "Why do you look so pale?"

Yan Qi held back but eventually burst out, "The crew is too much!"

"They are actually cheating to help Su Qi and his team!"
