Chapter 29 Task One

It was mealtime at the police station, and the police began to deliver meals to the inmates.

In the quiet corridor, a police officer carried several dozen lunch boxes and started to distribute them one by one. He walked to the end of the corridor and offered the meal in his hand, but no one took it.

He looked up and saw that the cell was empty. There was not a single person in it. That troublesome fugitive had escaped!

That night, the police station issued another wanted notice. It was going to be another restless night.

On this side, Su Yan had eaten her fill. The others hardly ate much and just drank and talked. Only Su Yan ate obediently.

Su Yan contributed greatly to the disappearance of the big table full of dishes.

While Su Yan was eating, Riko Nuo was not idle. She made veiled attacks, but before Su Yan could say anything, the others defended her. Su Yan was happy to be at ease and focused more on eating.

Riko Nuo stared at Su Yan with red, angry eyes. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she showed a malicious smile and then became quiet.

After Su Yan finished eating, the others had also finished chatting. The director began to arrange the accommodation for the night.

Su Yan followed the group out of the restaurant. The cool night breeze made her shiver.

Hou Yuheng had been paying attention. Seeing that he could finally be useful, he took off his coat immediately and put it on Su Yan.

The other girls also shivered in the breeze. Seeing Su Yan's treatment, they subconsciously looked at the other men.

Rui Kun noticed. The girl closest to him was Riko Nuo. So he took off his coat and wanted to put it on her. But when Riko Nuo saw it, she frowned and slightly dodged his coat. Rui Kun's hand paused.

Riko Nuo dodged Rui Kun's coat. Then she said to Yan Ruoheng sweetly, "Brother Ruoheng, I'm cold~"

Hearing this, Yan Ruoheng glanced at her and said something that made Riko Nuo want to vomit blood.

"Yeah, I'm cold too."

Rui Kun's hand was awkwardly hanging in the air. He didn't know whether to put it up or down. At this time, a cute girl got under his coat. The coat just wrapped her body.

Zhao Xianrou saw Rui Kun's embarrassment. For some reason, she just walked up to him.

Rui Kun looked down at Zhao Xianrou. She looked at him sweetly and said, "Thank you. It's very warm!"

Rui Kun scratched the back of his head shyly and smiled傻傻ly.

He Huanhuan secretly looked at Lu Xingmi, but Lu Xingmi's attention was all on Su Yan and didn't notice her.

Seeing Hou Yuheng's action, Zheng Qianqian was angry for a moment and blurted out, "Miss Su, you are really lovable!"

Seeing Lu Xingmi frown slightly, Zheng Qianqian tried to smooth things over and said, "Most of the people participating in this program know Miss Su. So it's normal for them to take care of each other!"

After hearing this, Lu Xingmi's frown relaxed. He glanced at He Huanhuan.

The cars arranged by the director arrived at this time. Su Yan, Chen Maohua, Zhao Xianrou, Rui Kun, and He Huanhuan were in one car. Hou Yuheng, Zheng Qianqian, Lu Xingmi, Yan Ruoheng, and Riko Nuo were in the other car.

It was almost 12 o'clock when they arrived at the homestay. It was a common yurt on the grassland.

For convenience, a very large yurt was specially built. The girls were on one side, the boys on the other, and there was a living room in the middle. The area was very large.

There were no more arrangements next. Everyone just went back to their rooms to sleep and waited for the variety show the next day!

In the sky outside the tent, there were scattered stars. The moon emitted a soft light, guarding the local residents. It seemed that it would be a fine day tomorrow!

It was still dawn, and there were sounds of people moving in the yurt.

Wearing a simple white T-shirt and black pants and with a ponytail, He Huanhuan walked into the kitchen. She put on an apron, boiled some sobering soup, and started to make breakfast for everyone.

He Huanhuan noticed that Lu Xingmi was in a bad mood and drank a lot of wine yesterday. She wanted to boil some sobering soup for him in advance so that he wouldn't have a headache and feel uncomfortable during the recording of the program today.

Chen Maohua got up soon after. He exercised every morning. He was a little surprised to see that He Huanhuan got up earlier than him.

Chen Maohua was still a little frustrated about the fact that Su Yan had easily defeated him last time. This time, participating in this variety show, he must see how Su Yan usually practiced martial arts.

But even after the others got up one after another, Chen Maohua still didn't see Su Yan.

Chen Maohua couldn't help but wonder. Was Su Yan secretly practicing martial arts in her room and didn't want him to find out?

As soon as this thought came up, Chen Maohua couldn't sit still. He got up and wanted to rush into Su Yan's room, but was stopped by Lu Xingmi.

"Where are you going?"

Chen Maohua looked at Lu Xingmi who stopped him and said.

"I'm going to see if Su Yan is awake. It's time to eat!"

Hearing this, Lu Xingmi's eyebrows were about to frown again. At this time, He Huanhuan said, "Let me go. You're a boy. It's not very convenient. What do you think?"

Chen Maohua thought about it and agreed with He Huanhuan's suggestion.

He Huanhuan held the sobering soup and said to everyone, "I boiled some sobering soup. Everyone drank some wine yesterday. You can drink some. It will make you feel better."

After saying that, He Huanhuan handed the sobering soup in her hand to Lu Xingmi and said, "You can drink some too!" Then, without giving Lu Xingmi a chance to refuse, she said, "I'll go up to call people!"

Lu Xingmi looked at the sobering soup in his hand, frowned, but still took a small sip and then put it down.

Seeing this, Hou Yuheng walked up to Lu Xingmi, winked, and whispered, "Brother Lu, does that He Huanhuan have a crush on you?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Lu Xingmi frowned and said coldly.

"I'm not talking nonsense. Otherwise, why did she just give you the sobering soup? And... hey, Brother Lu?"

Before Hou Yuheng could finish his words, Lu Xingmi turned around and left.

He Huanhuan walked to Su Yan's room. She called out outside, but there was no response. So she walked in. The room was still dark, which obviously meant that Su Yan was still sleeping.

He Huanhuan called out again, but Su Yan just turned over and continued to sleep. She was completely unaffected. Just when He Huanhuan didn't know what to do, she heard Lu Xingmi's voice outside.

"He Huanhuan? Is Yan Ke still not awake?"

"Yeah, she isn't. I can't wake her up no matter what. What should I do?"

Hearing this, Lu Xingmi smiled gently and said, "Take this in. She will definitely wake up."

He Huanhuan was a little confused. What kind of thing was so useful?

She walked out and saw that Lu Xingmi was standing outside with breakfast in his hand. He looked at her gently and said.

"If there is no delicious food to tempt her in the morning, it will be a big project for her to get up!"

He Huanhuan was a little dazed looking at Lu Xingmi's smile. This was the first time in so many years that she had seen him smile so gently. The gentleness reached his eyes.

Lu Xingmi usually smiled too, but the smile never reached his eyes. He always gave people a sense of distance. But this time was obviously different. Was it because of Su Yan?

He Huanhuan's mood suddenly dropped, but she didn't show these emotions in front of Lu Xingmi. She took the breakfast and walked into the room.

This method was really effective. As soon as He Huanhuan walked to Su Yan's bedside, she saw Su Yan's eyelashes tremble slightly. She opened her slightly confused eyes.

"Miss Su, it's time to get up!"

The sweet smell filled Su Yan's nostrils. It made her drool.

Then Su Yan showed her gluttonous nature. She washed up very quickly, finished her breakfast, and went downstairs.

By this time, the others downstairs had also finished eating. A few minutes after Su Yan went downstairs, the director also announced today's tasks.

Task One: Fetch water to meet the daily water needs.

Task Two: Pick up cow dung, which can be used as fuel.

There were two tasks this morning, and two groups would complete them respectively.

After drawing lots to form groups, the water - fetching group consisted of Su Yan, Chen Maohua, Yan Ruoheng, Riko Nuo, Zhao Xianrou, and Rui Kun.

The cow - dung - picking group consisted of He Huanhuan, Lu Xingmi, Hou Yuheng, and Zheng Qianqian.

Since the place to fetch water was a bit far away and the daily water consumption was quite large, the water - fetching group had more people than the cow - dung - picking group.

The tools prepared by the program group were very primitive, just two buckets carried by a shoulder pole.

When Riko Nuo saw such tools, her face immediately changed. But considering that the program was still being recorded, she still had to manage her expression.

Zhao Xianrou also had some difficulties seeing these tools.

"Can I still come back here today carrying these?"

Rui Kun said, "Just do your best."

Originally, Zheng Qianqian was a little disgusted with this task. But when she saw Su Yan's task, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Compared with this, her own task seemed not bad?

The sun was already high in the sky.

It was too late last night to notice the surrounding environment. When they went out today and looked around, it was a vast green sea.

The blue sky and white clouds, the green grass as far as the eye could see. The scenery was like a painting!

It was beautifully shocking, beautifully lonely, and beautifully amazing!

When Su Yan went out, the sun was not very strong. But when they finished fetching water at the lake and were about to go back, the sun became a bit scorching.

Su Yan looked at the sparkling lake. The glare made her eyes a little uncomfortable. She squinted slightly. Just as she squinted, a blue light flashed through her eyes.

Su Yan squinted to see more clearly, but she couldn't see it anymore.

Su Yan couldn't help but be a little confused. Did she just have an illusion?

Su Yan and the others picked up the water buckets and walked only a short distance. Riko Nuo and Zhao Xianrou were already out of breath. They wanted to put down the buckets and take a rest. Just then, a local who also came to fetch water shouted loudly.

"Don't put them down!"

Su Yan and the others were all startled. They saw the person who spoke quickly pick up Riko Nuo's bucket and urged them to hurry up.

Su Yan was forced to walk a short distance. Just when Riko Nuo was about to collapse on the ground, the local finally allowed her to put down the bucket.

As soon as Riko Nuo put it down, she almost fainted. She sat on the ground, gasping for breath and not wanting to say a single word.

Su Yan was okay. She just wondered why the local would act like this.
