Just as Wen Zhi's fans were giving exaggerated compliments, the camera slowly panned to the room in the far corner.
This room was smaller than the previous ones, but it gave people a refreshing feeling.
The wooden tables and chairs inside were polished until they shone and were neatly arranged. The bed wasn't as luxurious and fancy as those of the other guests; it was just plain beige.
Even the once rickety window had been fixed by the room's owner. The glass was so clean that one could see their reflection in it, and there were no cobwebs in the corners like in other rooms.
There weren't many things in the room, but it gave an indescribable sense of comfort.
[Whose room is this? It's like the work of a master organizer!]
[I remember this room in the corner was the shabbiest. The window was even broken. How could someone have tidied it up like this in just over an hour?]
[Judging from the overall color scheme, it must be a female guest's room. I'm begging for the organizing tips!]
[So whose room is it exactly!]
The bullet comments were buzzing with speculation. The camera gradually moved to the door, and a small piece of paper with two big characters came into view—
Wen Yin.
Wen Zhi's smile froze on her face, and Xiao Mo beside her didn't look too happy either.
He hadn't even provided the most comfortable environment for Zhi Zhi... and they'd been outshone by this woman, Wen Yin!
Lu Ziqiu let out a soft snort. Her clear black eyes were like needles as she looked at Wen Yin, with a rather unfriendly expression.
[???]
[It's actually Wen Yin? You've got to be kidding me!]
[This woman must have gotten outside help. I've never seen a female celebrity who can fix windows.]
[I'm speechless. This woman really goes all out for popularity.]
[If Wen Yin fixed this window, I, Hu, will eat glass shards while doing a handstand!]
Shao Yinan stared straight at the opposite window. The densely nailed small wooden boards fit perfectly, showing the owner's care and dedication.
"Everyone's done tidying up?" the director asked with a beaming smile. "Thanks to Wen Yin for helping us solve the problem of the aging windows."
As soon as the words fell, the guests all had different expressions, except for Li Xiangwei, whose face showed no surprise.
Her room was next to Wen Yin's, and she'd watched Wen Yin fix the window bit by bit.
A faint smile played on Wen Yin's lips as she ignored the strange looks from Lu Ziqiu and the other three.
[When is little Hu from above going to eat glass shards?]
[Just a passerby. I don't think Wen Yin is as bad as Wen Zhi's fans make her out to be. I don't understand the point of badmouthing Wen Yin just based on what the marketing accounts say.]
[An old fan of Wen Yin here. I'd like to clarify that Ah Yin is really a kind angel.]
[Come on. Everyone knows Wen Yin is the female star with the most scandals.]
[Someone's trying to whitewash Wen Yin? I'll wait and see.]
The director waved his hand, signaling the staff to bring in the ingredients. "Since it's the first night, we can provide you with the most basic ingredients."
"This..." Qian Shuzhi's gaze fell on the guests as she hesitated.
None of them seemed to know how to cook...
"Does anyone know how to cook?" Wen Zhi squatted down and carefully examined the cabbage leaves, looking serious.
But inside, she couldn't help but complain.
It was bad enough that the program had brought them to a deserted island, but now they had to cook for themselves.
Who knew she couldn't cook!
Wen Zhi cast a pitiful look at Lu Ziqiu. Her bright, watery eyes softened the man's heart a bit.
"Although I only know how to make instant noodles, I can give it a try," Lu Ziqiu said, unable to resist.
Hearing this, Xiao Mo and Jiang Shihuai's eyes darkened for a moment.
As men, they were sensitive to something amiss and felt a strong sense of crisis.
Wen Zhi pursed her lips and put on a smiling face. "It's okay. Although I don't know how to cook, I can help."
Her gentle smile made their expressions soften a bit. Xiao Mo said in a deep voice, "I can help too."
Jiang Shihuai looked at Wen Zhi tenderly, with a touch of affection. "I can cook a little and can also help."
Wen Yin couldn't help but give Wen Zhi a mental thumbs - up.
Sure enough, Wen Zhi could handle all three men equally well.
"Great, Zhi Zhi. I'll help you too!" Qian Shuzhi said quickly as she saw the others about to start, afraid of being left out.
With Jiang Shihuai and Xiao Mo around, they should be able to have some decent food, right?
Qian Shuzhi had a little plan in mind and skillfully avoided the fate of having no food because she couldn't cook.
Wen Zhi glanced at Wen Yin, who was taking her time, and thought of that clean and tidy room.
The mess in her own room was in sharp contrast to Wen Yin's.
A feeling of imbalance suddenly welled up in her heart. Wen Zhi said softly, "How about we divide into two groups to cook? That way, we can taste different cooking styles and reduce the burden on the cooks."
As everyone knew, Wen Yin's cooking skills were beyond description.
A smile appeared on Jiang Shihuai's and Xiao Mo's faces at the same time. Wen Zhi gave them a sweet smile.
Both of them almost thought she was smiling at them.
Qian Shuzhi couldn't wait to speak up, as if she was really afraid Wen Zhi would leave her out. "Then let's be in a group of five."
Li Xiangwei and Xiang Zhou were a bit speechless. They hadn't even said a word yet, and they'd already been "forced" into groups.
The calmest ones were Wen Yin and Shao Yinan.
Wen Yin knew exactly what this scheming woman meant.
There was a hint of arrogance in Wen Zhi's eyes.
She wanted to see what Wen Yin could cook. A woman from the countryside probably only knew how to stir - fry a plate of dry wild vegetables.
"Then we'll be a group of four?" Li Xiangwei said, sounding a bit reluctant.
Thinking of the gift Xiang Zhou had given her the other day, Wen Yin couldn't help but look at the two of them a bit longer.
Qian Shuzhi walked into the kitchen, looking back every few steps. Her lips moved, but in the end, she didn't say anything.
She'd originally wanted to drag Shao Yinan over too, but since Shao Yinan hadn't said a word, she had to give up.
Shao Yinan nodded, showing no dissatisfaction.
He'd noticed Wen Zhi's disdainful look.
The program staff was very considerate. The kitchen was big enough, with two cooking areas, which could easily accommodate the nine guests.
If the kitchen wasn't so old - fashioned, they could still make a decent dinner.
In this shabby kitchen, there was no range hood, not even a simple gas stove.
Two earthen stoves stood alone in the middle, with big old - fashioned black pots that the program staff had found somewhere.
There were also some very short chairs and a pile of wood for the guests to start a fire and cook.
But fortunately, the program staff had cleaned it in advance. Although it was shabby, the hygiene was still okay.
Wen Zhi and her group, who entered first, froze in place.
"This... How are we supposed to cook?" Qian Shuzhi whispered. "Do we have to start a fire ourselves?"
Was she going to starve today?
Wen Zhi hadn't expected the program to go this far and stick to the deserted - island theme so thoroughly.
Helplessly, Wen Zhi had to turn to Jiang Shihuai for help.
"Senior, what should we do now?"
The woman's soft voice was like a small brush constantly tickling Jiang Shihuai's heart.
It was so itchy.
[Who can resist a beautiful woman's coquetry! I want to get close to the beauty!]
[This call of "senior" really makes my heart skip a beat. Who can say no to a beautiful woman!!]
While Jiang Shihuai was thinking, Wen Yin's group also entered the kitchen.
Qian Shuzhi took a casual look, and it just made her already irritated heart even more annoyed—
Shao Yinan was walking into the kitchen behind Wen Yin.
