Huh? Are villainous bosses this easy to flirt with?

Chapter 19 Xie Qing 'Fishing'

"You can't come in."

As if it understood, the little monkey darted away in a flash.

Xie Qing watched its departing figure, smiled helplessly, then zipped up the tent, wrapped herself tightly in her sleeping bag, and spent the day peacefully and quietly.

Compared to Xie Qing's smooth sailing, Xie Nuo was not so lucky.

After parachuting off the plane, Xie Nuo told his fans in the live stream that he would carry their expectations of him and persevere to the end, and then began searching for Gu Yan.

The fans in the live stream were deeply moved by him, saying that their idol loved them so much, and they were so touched that they cried, and so on.

Of course, some non-fans also boldly spoke up in the live stream.

Isn't this what he should be doing?

[It's like you're only participating in this variety show for the sake of your fans.]

Upon hearing this, Xie Nuo's fans were displeased and immediately swarmed to criticize those who spoke ill of their idol.

After finding the people, Xie Nuo and Gu Yan began to divide the work. They first worked together to set up the tent, then Gu Yan went to find food, while Xie Nuo was responsible for starting a fire.

At first, Xenius was full of confidence in his mission, but as time went by, his hands were almost burning with scorching heat, and he still hadn't managed to get the fire going.

At this moment, Xie Nuo was extremely anxious, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

Meanwhile, Gu Yan returned from his search for food. He found some wild fruit and picked up some small crabs on the beach; although they weren't big, at least they had some meat.

However, Xie Nuo's fire still didn't get started, and without a fire, the crabs he caught would just sit idle.

Before Gu Yan could even ask, Xie Nuo's eyes reddened.

"Brother Yan, am I really useless?"

Gu Yan could only comfort him first, "No, Nuonuo, don't think like that. Okay, okay, don't cry. I'll help you start the fire."

He reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corner of Xen's eyes, then together they began to try to start a fire.

For the rest of the time, the two did nothing but try to start a fire, but it still wouldn't get going.

The people in Xie Nuo's live stream who saw this scene had mouths that looked like they were coated with poison.

【!! Why didn't you just use a different piece? You've been drilling for so long without getting a spark, didn't you even consider that the wood might be the problem?】

[Wood: I should have just rotted in the ground.]

They both give me the impression that they're always busy, but haven't accomplished anything...

【Xie Nuo cries so easily, it's so annoying. I came to watch the variety show, not to watch people cry】

[I'm a fan of Xie Nuo, and I also think... Xie Nuo's habit of always crying when something happens is really annoying. I don't think he was like this before!]

[Upstairs, your idol has always been like this, acting like everyone owes him something.]

[The variety shows he participated in before were all edited before airing. Sure enough, live streaming is the best way to demystify him. I used to have a pretty good impression of Xie Nuo, but now... haha.]

Um... never mind, I'm not going to say anything more. If I do, Gu Yan's fans will say, "If you're so good, then you do it yourself. Where am I supposed to find the time?"

[Xie Qing next door has already started grilling fish, while these two are still starting a fire.]

Xie Qing started a fire using two small knives, which was naturally easier for him. Nuonuo started a fire by rubbing sticks together, so it's normal that it took longer.

[Upstairs, did Xie Nuo not have any tools because the director wouldn't allow them? It's not that he wasn't prepared! It's normal for it to take a little longer; an entire afternoon has passed, and this is normal? Go get something good to eat!]

【...】

As darkness fell, the two had no choice but to give up on making a fire, eat some fruit to stave off hunger, and went into their tent early.

In the middle of the night, Xie Nuo was hungry and cold, and he regretted participating in the variety show. But he had already made his promise, and he couldn't go back on his word. Maybe Xie Qing was even worse off than him. Thinking this way, he felt a little better.

Gu Yan was even more upset. His family was one of the five great families, and he was the only son in his family. He had never suffered like this before. If it weren't for the need to befriend Qi Xian, he would never have participated in a variety show that lowered his own status.

----

Perhaps because she went to bed too early last night, Xie Qing got up very early, turned on her live stream, and greeted everyone.

Good morning, honey! I get to see your stunning good looks again!

【Oh no, honey, why are you up so early? Am I late?】

Hey upstairs, you've come at the perfect time! I just got here too.

Good morning everyone. Let me introduce you; this is my boyfriend.

【...】

Xie Qing quickly washed up at the beach and when she returned, she found several coconuts next to the tent.

Xie Qing: ? ? ?

【? ? ? 】

[A coconut appeared out of nowhere]

Did my husband go coconut picking yesterday? Am I misremembering?

[Upstairs, you're not mistaken]

Xie Qing picked up the coconut and looked at it. Hmm, it was full, and it seemed to have been freshly picked.

A familiar little figure ran over, holding a round coconut in its hand.

Now Xie Qing knew what was going on.

"Is this for me?" Xie Qing pointed to himself.

The little monkey made a few calls, then handed the coconut in its hand to Xie Qing.

Xie chuckled and accepted it, "Thank you, little monkey."

Surprisingly, this is a monkey that only knows how to be grateful.

The live stream chat exploded with comments.

A few wild berries traded for several large coconuts—what a lucrative deal!

These days, even monkeys know how to be grateful, but you, my friend, aren't even as sensible as a monkey. Do I really need to tag you? I mean, you.

[Little Monkey: A kind person gave me some fruit, so I'll pick some big fruit to give back to him.]

Indeed, all things have a spirit, except for mosquitoes.

Ahhh, what an adorable little monkey! I just want to sit on it and kill it! Does anyone know why?

[The person upstairs is a bit of a pervert.]

【...】

For the rest of the time, no matter what Xie Qing did, the little monkey followed him closely, and sometimes even helped him out.

Xie Qing noticed that the little monkey would disappear for a while at fixed times, probably because its mother was calling it home for dinner!

Compared to the survival show Xie Qing participated in in her previous life, where she had nothing but clothes at the start and had to survive for a month, this show was incredibly easy for her. She didn't feel any sense of survival at all; she just treated it like a vacation.

Over the next two days, after eating and drinking his fill, Xie Qing would sometimes sit on the rocks and fish with his homemade fishing rod, hoping that only those who were willing would take the bait, while the little monkey played nearby.

Believe it or not, Xie Qing's simple fishing rod actually caught a few big fish. Someone even edited a video of this scene and posted it on Douyin, which made countless fishing enthusiasts lose their composure.

[I spent hundreds of dollars on a fishing rod, and I didn't catch a single fish. What does that even mean?!]

You're out of luck.

[This must be a newbie protection period. He can't be this lucky every time. It must be something like this!!!]

I'm devastated! Why don't I even have a newbie protection period? I've been fishing for two months and haven't caught a single fish!

[Upstairs, didn't you even catch a small fish?]

【Nothing!!! Nothing!!! Not even a small fish was caught. Are you satisfied now!!!】

[Hahaha...did you poison your fishing hook? Hahaha, how did you end up like this!]

That's enough, I said that's enough, stop.

【...】

Xie Qing's fishing video, "Only those who are willing will take the bait!" went viral and, upon clicking the video, confirmed that it was indeed a case of "only those who are willing will take the bait."

Xie Qing was so perfunctory that he didn't even put on any bait, just killing time. Who knew, hey, the fish took the bait.

It was clear that Xie Qing was quite surprised as well.

One time might be an accident, but after catching fish several times in a row, Xie Qing couldn't help but wonder, are fish this easy to catch nowadays?

About ten minutes after the video was released, countless people flooded Xie Qing's live stream, sending comments and asking for advice.

The live stream was noisy and chaotic, but Xie Qing enjoyed a peaceful and quiet life.
