Xia Xin paused for a moment, then continued, “You claim that MO Shu and I are lovers—neither of us has ever confirmed that. Then, you talk about my interactions with Jing Mo. We were assigned to the same team; how could I not interact with him? Are you saying that when we’re rescuing animals, should the points go to him or me if we don’t communicate?”

“As for this Lu Shi you say has feelings for me—sorry to break it to you, but I only found out about Lu Shi’s existence a few days ago. I can’t believe one’s affection is so shallow. We know next to nothing about each other. Even if he does like me, that’s none of my business. I can’t control how others feel about me. Right, Lu Shi?” Xia Xin turned her gaze toward Lu Shi.

Lu Shi’s expression darkened. He thought to himself, ‘Is she saying my feelings were shallow? Ah, ladies—always saying one thing and meaning another.’

“You’re right,” Lu Shi smiled. “No one’s affection is that shallow. Like love, affection withstands the test of time. Perhaps, there’s no need to be so vehement, dear audience.”

“Lu Shi, we’re loyal fans of yours,” an audience member chimed in. “We just don’t want to see you get deceived.”

“Oh, you’re fans of mine? I appreciate your concern,” Lu Shi brushed it off, not wanting to go into details. His tone sounded more like he was placating them.

The fan furrowed her brows even more. She was about to say something when the director abruptly cut her off.

Wiping his nonexistent sweat, the director was relieved that they’d avoided a broadcasting disaster. “Alright, that’s enough for today. Go and rest. A reminder to you all, the cameras will be over there,” he pointed in two directions.

The show was broadcast 24/7, so even when the artists were sleeping, cameras would be rolling—though they wouldn’t capture them directly.

Without another word, Xia Xin collected her belongings and entered her tent.

She pulled out her phone and texted Jing MO, [Goodnight, Big Brother.]

Jing MO, who’d also returned to his tent, wore a slight smile. He replied,

[Goodnight. Sweet dreams.]

Except for Tian Mei and Lu Shi, everyone else soon fell asleep. Tian Mei lay in her hammock and complained, “Lu Shi, I didn’t shower today; I feel disgusting.”

Tian Mei’s words seemed to light up Lu Shi’s eyes. He thought to himself,

‘That’s right, we could shower.’

“Tian Mei, it’s late. We can look for a river or something tomorrow, and find some food along the way,” Lu Shi suggested.

“But I want a comfortable bathroom and a nice bathtub to soak in,” Tian Mei pouted.

Lu Shi grew impatient. “Listen, there are no luxurious amenities on this island. I told you the show wouldn’t be easy. You said you could handle it.”

“I didn’t think it would be this hard. You have to fend for yourself, even for sleep. I would have never agreed to this,” Tian Mei replied.

“You can still back out,” Lu Shi said, clearly annoyed.

Panicked, Tian Mei rushed to say, “But Lu Shi, you promised to take care of me.”

“Have I not?” he retorted.

“I mean, I want to shower. Don’t you?”

“I told you, we’ll look for a river tomorrow. It’s going to be cold, but it’s the best we can do. We can also find food on the way.”

“But, it’s too cold,” Tian Mei retorted.

“If you’re going to complain, then don’t do it. It’s getting on my nerves,” Lu Shi snapped.

Tian Mei shut her mouth, gritted her teeth, and tried to sleep. But this was her first time sleeping outdoors, she couldn’t sleep. She tossed and turned, glancing at her suitcase. She got up, rummaged through it, and pulled out some clothes and skincare products.

Tian Mei thought she may not be able to shower, but she could still look good.

Glancing at the camera, she moved behind a wide tree, confident she was out of its sightline. While changing, her eyes narrowed jealously toward Xia Xin and Jing Mo’s tents, which emitted a soft glow. ‘They could sleep in comfort and even shower. Why couldn’t I?’ Tian Mei thought..
