Taking Part in a Survival Game with My Brother

46 Chapter 46 Rumors

Under Lu Yang’s instructions, Lu Mingyu used the stem of the thorny chestnut to dig a hole in the ground.

After Wen Jian found some small branches and dried leaves to set up at the bottom of the cave, Lu Mingyu placed the mud-covered chicken inside, and Wen Jian piled some thicker dry wood on top of it.

After they were done, Lu Yang was done with the fire.

“You’re done just by drilling wood for fire? You’re so fast?” Wen Jian stared at the flame in shock.

!!

“It’ll be faster if you have experience.”

The fire was getting bigger and bigger. Lin Xinmeng tried hard with her presbyopic glasses, but she still couldn’t start a fire.

When she saw Lu Yang and the rest’s fire, she was dumbfounded.

How did she start a fire without presbyopic glasses?

Did she really going to start a fire by drilling wood?

When she returned to the camp, she found that there was also a fire in front of Zhou Moli.

“Zhou Moli, you must be a genius at starting a fire!” Lin Xinmeng looked at him with eyes full of admiration.

“No.” Zhou Moli glanced at her. “I borrowed fire from Lu Yang and Lu Mingyu.

Lin Xinmeng was at a loss for words.

Did Lu Yang participate in this variety show just to take revenge?

Why did she lend the fire to Zhou Moli so easily?

“We’re teammates now,” said Zhou Moli, who seemed to have seen through her doubts. “It’s only right for us to help each other, so I’ve also lent them our pot.”

Lin Xinmeng did not expect Zhou Moli to lend them the pot.

Pots were a rare resource that no one else had.

“How can you lend them the pot? The pot was something we got by throwing darts!”

Lin Xinmeng’s eyes were brimming with tears, and she looked as if she had suffered a great grievance.

Zhou Moli did not expect her to react so strongly. He apologized sincerely. “I’m sorry.”

Lin Xinmeng’s head was muddled with unwillingness. It was only after hearing what Zhou Moli said that she realized what a stupid thing she had done.

She forced a smile. “It’s okay. I don’t mean to blame you. I’m just afraid that they won’t return it after using it.”

Zhou Moli looked at her thoughtfully and did not say anything Else.

He had thought Lin Xinmeng was on Lu Mingyu’s side, but after some observation, it did not seem to be the case.

However, her behavior was very strange. If she was not from Lu Mingyu’s team, then it could only be…”

Zhou Moli looked at Qin Yitan, who was holding a package and eating dry food.

Lin Xinmeng had no background, nor was she well-known. There had to be a reason for her to be able to enter this variety show.

With Qin Yitan’s background, it was not difficult to get someone into the show.

When the firewood was finished burning, and the fire was ready, Lu Mingyu pried open the firewood and took the chicken.

Wen Jian rubbed her hands as she sat at the side, her eyes filled with anticipation. She could not help but gulp her saliva. “It smells so good! I can already smell the meat!”

Lu Yang pushed the yellow mud aside and removed the feathers. The moment she opened the box, the strong aroma of chicken wafted out. The beggar’s chicken was fat, tender, and hot.

“Did you hear that? My drool is flowing down thousands of feet.”

The glossy chicken and the vegetables in the chicken belly made people’s eyes light up. The fragrance, color, and everything else were so tempting that Wen Jian swallowed her saliva again.

Lu Yang sprinkled some sea salt on it. After it was savored, the three of them sat by the bonfire and ate the chicken.

Lu Mingyu tore off a drumstick and handed it to Lu Yang. He grinned and said, “Yangyang, eat this.”

“Okay.” Lu Yang took it and passed it to Wen Jian.

“Thank you, beauty Lu Yang, for taking care of our daughter, Wen Jian!”

“Lu Mingyu is still very gentlemanly. He even gave the drumsticks to the two girls.”

“This beggar’s chicken is so tender! I want to eat too, but my mom’s at home, and I can’t order takeaway.”

Wen Jian took a bite of the drumstick and saw from the corner of her eye that Lu Mingyu was enjoying his food. She asked, “Don’t singers have to manage your figures? My manager is very strict and usually only lets me eat a pitifully small amount of fitness meals.”

She placed her other hand on her stomach and rubbed it. She muttered, “I feel anxious to the max.”

Lu Mingyu chewed and swallowed his stomach, then replied, “I’m anxious at Pro Max.”

Wen Jian froze. “You win,” she mused.

“One person is more pro than the other!”

“Hahaha! A Pro Max!”

“Hahahaha! These two people say they’re anxious, but they’re eating more diligently than anyone else!”

…

“Have you heard? The second season of wilderness has gone international!”

“Isn’t it a domestic online variety show? Why is it going international?”

“You might not know this, but on the first day of the show, the experts from the Guinness world records came into the live broadcast room and attracted a lot of attention.”

“Does this have anything to do with the international scene?”

“I heard Lu Mingyu’s younger sister showed off her skills on the show and broke the record for the shortest time used to set up a tent. The Guinness world records organization is going to give her a record award! Furthermore, they invited the most authoritative expert and an international actor to give the award live! Do you know who the actor is?”

“I don’t know,”

...

“Jiang Yanzhou!”

“Heavens! Really?”

Zhao Yanshu didn’t expect to hear gossip when he came out to buy coffee.

He glanced at the two girls who were unable to contain their excitement, and shook his head with a helpless smile.

They were going to be disappointed.

When Zhao Yanshu returned with the coffee, Jiang Yanzhou was leaning back in his chair, resting with his eyes closed.

“Do you know what I just heard?”

Jiang Yanzhou’s brows furrowed tiredly, but he didn’t open his eyes. “What?”

“A young lady said you’re going to give Lu Yang’s little sister an award.” Zhao Yanshu put down his coffee and turned around, leaning against the table. “And you’ll present his little sister the Guinness world records with the experts.”

Jiang Yanzhou opened his eyes slowly, his thin eyelids moving up and down as his gaze fell on Zhao Yanshu’s face.

“There’s such a thing?”

...

“The news of the program team inviting you to the mystery segment at the end of the variety show has already been spreading like wildfire on the internet.” Zhao Yanshu stopped joking. “Now that their cast is getting an award, everything is pointing to you.”

There was a moment of silence.

“Let’s confirm the rumors,” Jiang Yanzhou said indifferently.

Zhao Yanshu was still thinking about which show Jiang Yanzhou would participate in and which drama he would act in. The rumors had never stopped, but none of them had been confirmed.

Hearing his words, Zhao Yanshu didn’t know how to react. He stuttered, “W-What? What rumors?”

Noticing Jiang Yanzhou’s gaze, he smacked himself and asked hesitantly, “Are you going to participate in a variety show and give out awards?”

Jiang Yanzhou’s slender fingers held the coffee and tapped it twice. He said lightly, “I haven’t worked with the authoritative experts from the Guinness world records organization before, so I’d like to try.”

Zhao Yanshu was at a loss for words.

While Zhao Yanshu was still in a daze, his phone screen lit up.

He picked up his phone and paused for a few seconds on the unlocking page. He unlocked it with his fingerprint and showed the notification to Jiang Yanzhou.

“The program director has sent a message. He asked me if you’re interested in being a temporary guest on a variety show to give Lu Yang an award.”

If the message had come five minutes earlier, he would have rejected it.
