Upon hearing Bai Heng’s warning, Mo Yi instinctively covered his buttocks in fear.
In a previous small world, he had been spanked by his partner for misbehaving and risking himself. It was especially painful, and he didn’t want that!
Seeing Bai Heng’s eyes and realizing that the other was just a little unhappy, warning him, Mo Yi chuckled awkwardly and squatted down to pick up the branches on the ground.
Bai Heng quickly joined him in gathering the branches from the ground before walking over to where Lang Jun and Si Feifei were.
As they worked, the activity in Bai Heng and Mo Yi’s live stream room doubled.
“Ah! Mo Yi is so amazing! His movements are so agile and handsome!”
“The interaction between them is so lovely! Let me ship them!”
“Bai Heng, are you flirting? You’re making the poor boy blush!”
“Yeah! Boss Bai, what secrets are you whispering? Is there something I, as a VIP member, can’t hear? I’m a member, you know!”
The bracelet’s audio function wasn’t powerful enough to pick up whispered conversations between two people standing close together, and Bai Heng knew that. But anyone seeing Mo Yi’s reaction wouldn’t think much of it.
Such interactions catered perfectly to the gossip-loving audience, as who doesn’t love watching sweet romance? Inadvertently, it also boosted the popularity of their live stream room.
On the other side, Lang Jun and the others had gathered many sturdy branches to build the framework, but they hadn’t finished yet.
Seeing how efficient Mo Yi and Bai Heng were, they were both surprised and delighted. After all, who wouldn’t want capable teammates?
With the efforts of the four of them, they managed to build a temporary wilderness shelter in less than an hour.
The dense grass on top looked like it could block the wind, and even if it rained, as long as it wasn’t a downpour, it should be fine.

Mo Yi had already flattened the ground there, and Lang Jun found some dried soft grass to lay on top. When they all sat down, it was surprisingly dry and comfortable.

Turning to Sha Kang beside him, he said, “Didn’t you say you’ve filmed jungle scenes before? How come you’re not as good as those rookies over there?”
With a hint of annoyance, Bai Juncheng kicked one of the stones used to stabilize the structure. To his dismay, the entire framework collapsed with just that kick, scattering all over the ground.
Angrily, Bai Juncheng cursed, “Useless junk.”
Sha Kang, mindful of Bai Juncheng’s status, remained silent and dutifully started repairing the collapsed structure, knowing he couldn’t afford to provoke this person.
Normally easygoing, Hao Jingyi couldn’t help but speak up, “Why are you like this? You haven’t helped at all, and now you’re causing trouble.”
In response, Bai Juncheng sneered at him, “What’s wrong with me? If you’re so eager to be a good person, go help out. Mind your own business.”
In reality, Bai Juncheng didn’t care whether the temporary shelter was built well or not. After all, they wouldn’t actually sleep there at night; they would return to the ship to rest. He was just annoyed that his group couldn’t match Mo Yi and his uncle.
Unaware that they were currently live streaming, Bai Juncheng vented his frustrations freely, relying on post-production editing to salvage his image. He had behaved this way in variety shows before, confident that as long as some good scenes were left for editing, it wouldn’t affect his image.
Bai Juncheng didn’t realize that his actions had all been broadcasted live, tarnishing his already average reputation on the internet.
After venting for a while, Bai Juncheng calmed down and realized they couldn’t continue like this. Their group, except for Sha Kang, was incompetent. The other group, however, was different, especially with Lang Jun’s presence.
Bai Juncheng had joined this variety show precisely because he knew Lang Jun would be there.
Although he didn’t understand why Lang Jun, who he had heard was a guest for flying, was now traveling with them and seemed to be a regular member, it was clearly good news for him.
Instead of staying here, he thought it would be better to find a way to join the other group, preferably with Si Feifei. With his relationship with Bai Heng, it shouldn’t be too difficult. Moreover, that person with the surname Mo would probably also hope to be in the same group as him.
With this in mind, he walked over to Mo Yi and Bai Heng’s side, wearing a smile on his face, and respectfully asked Bai Heng, “Uncle, is there anything I can help with here?”
As he spoke, Bai Juncheng stole glances at Lang Jun beside them.
Bai Heng glanced at Bai Juncheng with a half-smile and replied, “Do you think there’s anything here that requires your assistance?”
They were already sitting here resting, so the question seemed rather unnecessary.
Though slightly taken aback, Bai Juncheng persisted, praising them, “You’ve done a great job with this grass shelter. It’s clearly sturdy, probably built by Senior Lang Jun. The choice of tree branches on top is also excellent. Uncle has a good eye.”
Bai Juncheng deliberately showed a look of disappointment as he spoke, “If only I could be in the same group as uncle, then I could be with Lang Jun, who’s my idol!”
Everyone present was seasoned in the entertainment industry and could easily read between the lines, except for Mo Yi. Si Feifei felt uncomfortable hearing Bai Juncheng’s words. She knew her group was good, so why should they give way to others? She worked hard too!
Lang Jun smiled and spoke up, “I didn’t build this framework alone; Feifei helped a lot too.”
Feeling grateful for Lang Jun’s support, Si Feifei glanced at him appreciatively.
Seeing this, Bai Juncheng subconsciously wanted to signal to Mo Yi to speak up for him, as he had done in the past.
However, Bai Heng simply wrapped his arm around Mo Yi’s shoulder and said, “I also think I have good taste. Choosing to be in the same group as Xiao Mo, all these tree branches were picked by him personally. He’s really amazing.”
Excited to hear his partner’s praise, Mo Yi was too focused on Bai Heng’s words to notice Bai Juncheng’s gaze. Even if he did, he wouldn’t care.
Bai Juncheng felt ignored and extremely unhappy. However, unlike before, the people here were not like those he had encountered previously; he couldn’t freely vent his anger.
Taking a deep breath, he suppressed his dissatisfaction.
Reluctant to go back to work, Bai Juncheng simply sat down and made some meaningless remarks.
However, without Bai Juncheng, the efficiency of the other group, led by Sha Kang, significantly improved. Before long, they also managed to build their shelter.
Although it didn’t look as good as the one built by Mo Yi’s group, it could still be considered a decent shelter from wind and rain.
As dusk approached, the production team hurriedly prepared a bonfire and gathered some nearby logs to create a circle, creating a more atmospheric setting for filming.
To have a bonfire, they needed plenty of firewood. Once they had enough, they could start the fire and gather around to roast meat and enjoy their meal.
Upon hearing that food was coming, Mo Yi quickly volunteered to help gather firewood, with Bai Heng naturally following suit.
The production team had brought a complete set of camping utensils, including various meats, vegetables, and plenty of seasonings. There was even a box containing a large live kingfish.
This was the production team’s plan all along. On the first day, they wanted everyone to have a good meal and relax, so they could start the following days with energy and enthusiasm.
“Oh my god! This fish looks so fat, it must be delicious!” Hungry, Hao Jingyi patted his stomach with anticipation.
However, Bai Juncheng, who had done almost nothing all day, had a different idea when he saw the live fish.
Realizing he hadn’t contributed much and worried that the footage of him wouldn’t be interesting, he felt annoyed. But now he saw an opportunity to showcase his kindness on camera.
So, Bai Juncheng directly questioned the staff in a loud voice, “How can you be so cruel, bringing this live fish here? It’s so big, and clearly intelligent. No, no, today is one of my vegetarian days, so I refuse to eat this fish. While it’s still alive, I’m going to release it back into the sea!”
Upon hearing this, Han Jingyi immediately objected, “Huh? Just because you’re vegetarian doesn’t mean we all have to be! I really like fish and I really want to eat it!”
Han Jingyi had been tolerating Bai Juncheng all day and didn’t want to tolerate him anymore. Unlike others who might fear Bai Juncheng, he wasn’t afraid. After all these years, he had earned enough, and after this variety show ended, he planned to retire and open a supermarket.
Bai Juncheng was angered by the opposition. Ignoring the others, he picked up the box containing the fish and walked towards the sea, then threw the box with the fish into the water.
Soon after, people saw the large fish leaping out of the water, flipping around continuously.
“Oh my god, what’s going on?” Han Jingyi was startled.
Bai Juncheng was also surprised but quickly became smug, saying, “I told you everything has a spirit, and this big fish is thanking me!”
Just then, Mo Yi and Bai Heng returned with firewood. Mo Yi saw the scene by the sea and asked curiously, “Uncle, what are they doing?”
Bai Heng glanced over and joked, “Maybe they think the seawater is salty, so they want to marinate this freshwater carp in it before eating.”
Mo Yi frowned at his words, “But why not marinate the fish in the box? If they put it in the sea, it’ll be hard to find later, right?”
Mo Yi: If I can’t find it, I can’t eat it! (Angry!)
As expected, a freshwater fish.
