The group started to pack up their things and prepared to look for the ghost. Xiang Bo temporarily held Yuan Meng's walkie - talkie in case the ghost spoke again.
"Wa ha ha ha ha～ You'll all stay here with me～ Stay～ Stay with me～"
Just as they feared, while they were packing up without any defense, the ghost suddenly spoke. The voice with a sense of electric current came out of the walkie - talkie, scaring them all.
"Damn it! Why doesn't this ghost give any hint before speaking!"
Xiang Bo held the walkie - talkie in his hand and shook it vigorously, as if he could shake the ghost out.
"However, this ghost sounds quite lonely. It always wants us to accompany it! Ghost, wait for me. I'll find you and play with you!"
The others were interrupted by Xiang Bo's funny behavior. Apart from being startled by the sudden voice, they weren't really scared by the ghost anymore.
Xiang Bo's actions and the expressions of the others were all live - streamed to the audience. The audience all said they felt sorry for the program crew!
The various pre - designed horror elements were originally quite atmospheric, but they happened to meet a group of bold and funny guests. Although the program wasn't as scary as expected when broadcast, the ratings increased because of some funny clips. The program crew didn't lose out.
Yuan Meng was startled by the ghost for a moment and then ignored it. She had brought a lot of things originally, and she was also given a lot of things during the material distribution just now. Now she couldn't pack all the things up, and she couldn't take all the snacks with her. She didn't have the time to care about the ghost.
"I... I brought too many things. Um... Some can't fit in. Hehe..."
Yuan Meng touched her head embarrassedly and said to the others with a silly smile.
The others were a bit helpless. Yuan Xingcheng, in particular, looked like he had expected it, but he didn't say anything.
Only Yang Liu rolled her eyes when she saw this. "Are you okay? Are you here for an outing? You brought a bunch of pastries in the first episode. I bet there are a bunch of snacks in your box. It's really annoying. It's just an extra burden!"
After saying that, Yang Liu turned her head and didn't bother to pay attention to Yuan Meng, looking extremely disgusted.
The atmosphere became a bit stiff. The others didn't know what to say. Yuan Meng silently opened the box. Sure enough, there was a box full of food.
Yuan Meng looked up at Yuan Xingcheng, looking a bit aggrieved. But feeling that she had really done something wrong, she lowered her head again, not knowing what to do.
"I... It's my fault. I just thought... I was just afraid that everyone would be hungry, so I brought more food. I... I really didn't... I didn't mean anything else."
Rationally, Yuan Xingcheng also thought it wasn't a good idea to bring so much food. It was heavy and took up a lot of space. But when he saw Yuan Meng's pitiful and aggrieved look, he thought it was okay to bring some food. After all, when it came to protecting his family, Yuan Xingcheng of the Yuan family was number one!
"Stop talking so much. Besides, we've come to a deserted village this time, and the program crew doesn't provide food. If it weren't for Yuan Meng's suggestion to grab supplies, we wouldn't have any food at all.
If we can't find anything to eat, we'll all starve. Yuan Meng bringing some food is just being prepared. What's wrong with that?"
"Yes, it's necessary to bring food. I brought some too. But what she brought is not a little but a huge amount! I really don't understand what she's thinking. She has no brains!"
Yang Liu rolled her eyes at Yuan Xingcheng again. It wasn't clear whether this "no brains" was scolding Yuan Meng or Yuan Xingcheng.
In the first episode, Yang Liu had wanted to form a CP with Yuan Xingcheng. But after several episodes, Yuan Xingcheng had always protected Yuan Meng, which Yang Liu couldn't stand. She even started to hate Yuan Xingcheng.
"Stop talking so much nonsense! I brought these food items myself. I didn't ask you to help me carry them. Why... Why are you being so aggressive!"
Yuan Meng's rabbit - like eyes were wide open, and her eye sockets were red and a bit moist.
Yuan Meng originally didn't plan to argue with Yang Liu. But since Yang Liu had even insulted her nephew, as an aunt, she couldn't bear it. Only she could bully her nephew!
"I didn't help you carry them. Even if you begged me, I wouldn't! But you didn't carry all of them by yourself, did you? You're just bothering others! It's really annoying. If you have the guts, don't rely on men!"
Yang Liu's eyes kept shifting between Yuan Meng and Yuan Xingcheng. Obviously, the "others" in her words referred to Yuan Xingcheng.
Yang Liu deliberately said this to let the audience know that Yuan Meng had so many things that she couldn't carry them all and had Yuan Xingcheng help her. There would surely be some of Yuan Xingcheng's female fans who would be unhappy, and there might even be some rumors about them.
But she never thought about whether it was appropriate for her to say that others relied on men.
Since you all isolate me, then none of us will have a good time!
"You... How dare you say you haven't bothered others? You even bothered Teacher Guo before. Yuan Xingcheng and I have a good relationship. It's none of your business!"
As Yuan Meng spoke, tears were about to flow down. Her eyes looking at Yang Liu were full of grievance and dissatisfaction.
"Don't cry again. I didn't bully you. I didn't ask anyone for help this episode. Don't bring up the past again."
Yang Liu only cared about splashing dirt on Yuan Meng, but she never thought about why she was forgotten and hated by others. Why, when facing problems, instead of thinking of solutions with everyone, she just complained.
Some people are like this. They never think they have any problems and just blindly blame others.
People like to gossip. In variety shows, disputes are often the most - watched parts. Naturally, the program crew wouldn't miss such disputes and live - streamed them all to the audience.
Many in the audience also said they didn't understand Yuan Meng's actions. They came to film a variety show, not for an outing. Moreover, many of them were Yuan Xingcheng's fans, saying that their idol came to film a variety show, not to help Yuan Meng carry things!
On the contrary, many viewers disliked Yang Liu. They thought she was meddling. And she had often asked other guests for help before. It was really unfair for her to act like this!
The two groups of viewers quarreled on the bullet - screen. It was really lively.
Yuan Meng also knew that she couldn't keep dragging things on like this. She wiped away her tears. "Xingcheng, help me."
Yuan Meng took Yuan Xingcheng's backpack and distributed some of the food to him. If Yuan Xingcheng had paid more attention, he would have found that all the food Yuan Meng gave him were his favorites.
Then Yuan Meng took out a hairpin with a thin branch from her hair and punctured the air - filled snack bags to let the air out. In this way, there was a bit more space in the box, but it still wasn't enough to fit all the things they had grabbed.
"Xiang Bo, Mo Lin, you guys take some too. I really can't fit all these things. And I can't eat them all by myself. Share them with everyone!"
Yuan Meng apologized to Xiang Bo and Mo Lin with a smile, and then pushed her box forward, indicating that they could take whatever they wanted.
