Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 445 This child is terrifyingly powerful; he must not be allowed to live.
After meeting, the group exchanged pleasantries and got to know each other.
The relationship between Shen Juan and Zhang Jingyi needs no further explanation.

Senior and junior students.

They met before Shen Juan went to sea to make his way in America.

Although we didn't meet often, the impression I had was still quite deep.

Of course, the younger female students will have a deeper impression of the older male students.

In this unfamiliar circle, the more tense and anxious the situation, the more one wants to find spiritual sustenance.

Shen Juan was clearly the one she longed for.

Then, Zhang Zifeng and Zhou Xun filmed "Last Letter" together in 18, where she played the younger version of Zhou Xun.

Peng Yuchang and Zhang Jingyi collaborated on "The Sky of Wind and Dogs" last year, which was Zhang Jingyi's debut work in the entertainment industry.

As for Zhou Xun and Shen Juan, I've met them at some events and galas before, and we added each other on WeChat, but we haven't chatted much.

However, Zhou Xun has always wanted to get to know Shen Juan.

One reason is that her friend Dou Jingtong, the princess's daughter, often mentioned Shen Juan in front of her, saying that Shen Juan was the most talented musician she had ever met (Dou is also a musician, and the princess had met them before when she organized a gathering in the capital).

On the other hand
In fact, no one in the entire Chinese entertainment industry doesn't want to know this man who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, led the streaming era, and directly became the face of the nation—the leading man of our time.

In this circle where connections and background matter, the vast majority of people do well because they have powerful backers and connections.

For example, Kris from Yao Lai and those princesses from the Beijing entertainment circle.

Only he is the opposite.

Because they're doing very well.

Because it breaks free from the established rules that lock in the upper limit of development, and because it possesses a function that others do not have.

Because of his clean identity, pure development trajectory, and lack of deep connections with any capital groups, he has created a value and significance for himself that transcends the entertainment industry and a powerful backer that no one dares to mess with.

Even the most senior and experienced people will treat truly capable young people with respect and courtesy.

The group walked towards the gate of the Mushroom House.

Shen Juan helped his junior Zhang Jingyi drag her suitcase, and Zhang Jingyi followed him obediently. Zhang Zifeng happily pushed her idol Zhou Xun's suitcase.

Peng Peng didn't know what to do, so he scratched his head and introduced himself to Zhou Xun as he walked.

Although they weren't exactly inseparable, under the special influence of the camera, they were still able to create a harmonious and joyful family atmosphere through their acting skills.

Huang Lei was already waiting at the door for his old friend Zhou Xun. They had filmed a TV series together about twenty years ago, and would be working together on a new drama called "Xiao Min's Family" soon. They were old acquaintances who had known each other for many years, so Lei was quite enthusiastic and they exchanged pleasantries as soon as they met.

Unfortunately, it gives off a somewhat greasy vibe.
Isn't the "face-cupping kiss" gesture upon first meeting something only young couples in the throes of new love should do? You're almost fifty and still doing this? Isn't that a bit strange?
Then Huang and He began to introduce Zhou Xun to the gifts given by other guests in the Mushroom House and the stories behind the photo wall.

"These are jerseys that Zhang Jike gave us."

"This is a pig that Wang Luodan gave us."

"This is the guitar that Kunkun gave us."

Seeing that Zhang Jingyi, who was new to the show and had no experience in recording reality shows, was standing there by herself and didn't know what to do, Shen Juan didn't dare to follow her and join in the fun. So he called her over and said that he would keep her around as a little accessory so that he could get her some background shots.

"Are you nervous?"

“A little.” Zhang Jingyi spoke softly: “Mainly because it’s my first time recording a variety show, and I don’t know what to say.”

"Relax," Shen Juan comforted her. "Reality shows are actually similar to filming a movie. Just treat the cameras like they're not there."

But I'm afraid I'll say the wrong thing.

"What's there to worry about? They're all familiar faces." You know Zhou Xun, Peng Peng, and me. Teacher He and Zi Feng are both very good-natured, and Teacher Huang won't make things difficult for you for no reason. Shen Juan turned and smiled at her. "Besides, it's okay if you say something wrong. The audience loves to see the guests' genuine reactions."

Looking at Shen Juan's smiling face, Zhang Jingyi nodded gently, feeling inexplicably touched. She felt much more at ease with him by her side.

After touring the interior, Huang Lei took Zhou Xun to the yard to see the fruits and vegetables that the production team had grown.

It was at this moment that Tian Xiwei, who had left the hotel two hours later, finally arrived at the Mushroom House with her luggage.

"Hey! That person over there! Is she a new employee?" Peng Peng, with her sharp eyes, spotted Sister Tian immediately.

"Peng Yuchang, I think you have a death wish!"

The first shot and the first line Sister Tian left for this season's program were so full of gritted teeth, brutality and violence.

"The eldest lady is here, please get out of the way!"

"Shen Juan, don't give me that weird voice acting!!!"

"Don't you like it?"

"How could anyone like such an awkward entrance sound effect!" Sister Tian rolled her eyes, somewhat speechless. After Shen Juan approached, she handed him the suitcase directly. Their interaction was just like that of an old married couple who knew each other well.

"Sister Weiwei, you're here!"

Hearing the commotion in the courtyard, Zhang Zifeng immediately abandoned her newly acquainted girlfriend and rushed into Sister Tian's arms.

"Haha, it took me ages to get here! Have you guys eaten yet? If not, I brought some snacks with me!"

It can only be said that Sister Tian truly deserves to be called the "best sixth man of the Mushroom House" by fans of "Back to Field". With just a simple appearance, she made the already lively atmosphere even more lively and cheerful.

But Sister Tian was actually very unhappy!

Very unhappy!
In order to leave a decent impression on the audience of this season's show, she specially dressed herself up as a sunny and cheerful sweet girl today. Moreover, on her way here, she thought for a long time about how to make a dazzling entrance, but it was ruined by Peng Yuchang and Shen Juan!

This is absolutely infuriating!
And the other side.
Seeing Tian Xiwei's forced smile, Zhang Jingyi was about to go up and introduce herself (to issue a challenge) when she was so frightened that her legs trembled and she couldn't help but back down.

It turns out the rumors circulating in the fan community were true.

It turns out that people who frequently kill others really do have a murderous aura about them.

It turns out that some people felt she was incredibly strong just by her standing there.

This aura, this pressure
How many haters did she kill?!
That's really scary.
But then she thought again that she shouldn't be so timid and cowardly. I've waited so long, I've done so much mental preparation, and I've finally managed to stand in front of my senior. I absolutely can't let myself down at this crucial moment!

Moreover, the competition in "Sister-in-Law 202" is so fierce, and the contestants are all incredibly talented. If you don't even have the courage to fight back, you should just quit as soon as possible!

So, for her own sake and for Shen Juan's sake, she had to muster up the courage to stand before Tian Xiwei with dignity and tell her her name in person!

I might not be able to beat you!
But I will do everything in my power to make sure I don't lose!

"Hello, Sister Xiwei, I am Zhang Jingyi."

A gentle and serene smile graced her face.

And this is precisely the quality that Sister Tian lacks.

"Hello Jingyi, I am Tian Xiwei."

Sister Tian had a warm and cheerful smile on her face.

Bad news: It's that damn philanderer again!
Good news: She'll be able to catch them in the act!
Moreover, she had already sensed the presence of the weak.

what!

I was so serious, and it turns out it's just a weakling!
Did you already exhaust all your strength just by standing in front of me and introducing yourself in the face of my intimidation?

If this is all you're capable of, if this is all you can do, then I'll kill as many as come!
Hmph!

Every basketball player is their own Jordan before entering the NBA. But the world is vastly different from the microcosm. You may be a top performer in your own world or a campus beauty with many admirers, but so-called geniuses are just the threshold to meeting me.

I am the only one in the world!
I had already established a dynasty before you arrived!
I am the true number one player in the league!
So, feeling smug, Sister Tian silently raised the corners of her mouth, imagining herself as a war god who could take down a cat with a single slash, and couldn't help but hum softly to herself.

After everyone had put away their luggage and been assigned to their rooms, Huang Lei called everyone to sit under the pavilion in the courtyard.

The group chatted while eating the fruit platter.

"So, Peng Yuchang, have you successfully lost weight?" Zhou Xun asked, looking at Peng Peng who was eating watermelon.

"No, no, I've gained weight recently." Peng Peng quickly waved his hands in denial. I'm already so fat, and people are still saying I've successfully lost weight. You're making me lose face.
"what?"

"I've gained weight from eating at home these past two months."

"You've gained weight again?" Zhou Xun was surprised.

"Yes, you've gained weight again!"

"The most hurtful thing is that Peng Peng is already so fat, and you still say he has successfully lost weight." He Jiong couldn't help but laugh and complain.

"Haha! I noticed he's gained weight compared to when I met him a few years ago," Zhou Xun explained with a laugh.

"What about Shen Juan?" Zhou Xun asked again.

"I don't think I've gained weight."

Shen Juan is very strict with his body management. Of course, it is also possible that he has been exploited by his three sisters in turn during this period, which has made him consume a lot of energy and has not given him a chance to grow fat to store energy.

"I'm not saying you've gained weight, I just noticed you and Jingyi seem quite familiar with each other. Did you know each other before or what? She looks really well-behaved standing next to you." Zhou Xun stepped in to give her shy niece a helping hand.

Zhang Jingyi quietly lowered her head and swallowed.

My aunt really does love me!

Peng Peng scratched his head with a pained expression.

Zhang Jingyi is, and so is Tian Xiwei.

They all want me to be their spy or wingman.

Do I look like a traitor?

Don't you know that every single message you send me is screenshotted verbatim and sent to Brother Juan?

He Jiong almost spat out the watermelon he was eating.

That's way too blatant!
Huang Lei tried hard to suppress the urge to curl up his lips.

If I were to laugh out loud now, my career might come to a symbolic end.

Therefore, no!
You absolutely mustn't laugh right now!
Otherwise, after Zhou Xun leaves, I'll definitely be tormented to the point of being unrecognizable by this petty and vengeful couple from The Return of the Condor Heroes!
The younger sister glanced at Sister Tian, ​​who still had a smile on her face, and then at Zhang Jingyi, who was pretending to be calm. She realized that she couldn't compete in this high-level game, so she silently started eating the watermelon in her hand.

Sister Tian looked at Shen Juan with a forced smile.

They thought they had caught a petty thief, but they ended up disturbing the whole organization.

So they brought their sect's patriarch here to bully others.
For a moment, she felt like Nicholas Tse, being dragged in front of Daniel Wu by a group of thugs and subjected to a humiliating face-to-face insult: "So you're good at fighting? What good is it if you can't fight? In this world, you need power and connections. Which gang are you from?"

But it doesn’t matter.

I'm from Hokkaido!

Any evil will eventually be brought to justice!
I am not fighting alone right now!
I can kill opponents of higher levels!

"It seems they met in college back in 17." Using the information provided by Zhou Ye, Sister Tian tried to assert her unique status as the rightful wife in front of everyone.

"Yes, Jingyi and I have known each other for over two years." Shen Juan nodded, acknowledging Sister Tian's statement. How far has their relationship progressed?

They can even share things like this?

And it acted so powerfully that it could easily ignore even my proud Conqueror's Haki!
This child is terrifyingly powerful; it's still worth keeping him.

After all, we live in a society governed by the rule of law, so it's better to leave conflicts and disputes between the younger generation to them to resolve themselves.

She could only offer "minor" help at most.

Whether it will work out or not depends on her own efforts.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xun glanced at Zhang Jingyi almost imperceptibly, feeling that it would be quite difficult for his adorably silly niece to snatch the man away from her.

This girl is named Tian Xiwei.
It's not as simple as many people imagine.

Although everyone seems quite relaxed and content as they eat and chat, it evokes a sense of tranquility and seclusion, like someone who has retired to the countryside.

But "Back to Field" is not, after all, a purely slow-paced variety show that focuses on relaxation, as it claims.

Completely the opposite.

In the eyes of some guests, "Back to Field" is actually a high-intensity competitive reality show that is linked to physical strength.

This naturally includes Shen Juan and Peng Yuchang, who have been doing hard labor here for two years, as well as Sister Tian, ​​who filled in for Shen Juan last year but was tricked into being treated like a beast of burden by He Jiong, Peng Peng and others.

So the farm work still needs to be done.

The short chat break has ended.

Soon it will be time for young people to work their magic.

Today's task is to plant watermelons.

After arriving at the watermelon field.

The program crew taught them how to grow watermelons.

Very simple.

You can just take the machine and stick it into the ground, and that's it.

It involves no technical skill whatsoever.

It just takes a little longer.

"There are only two, how should we group them?" Shen Juan took the watermelon planting machine from the staff member off-camera.

"Is it in pairs?"

"Yes, one is inserted, and the other is placed."

"In that case," Tian Xiwei turned to look at Zhang Zifeng, who was following her around like a little follower, and asked with a gentle smile, "Little sister, who do you want to go with?"

"Huh? I'm fine with anything." Zhang Zifeng stayed at the Mushroom House, adhering to the principle of not offending anyone and keeping to herself.

"What about Jingyi?"

Sister Tian's question caused the air to freeze.

Although Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but glance at Shen Juan, revealing her feelings perfectly, under the watchful eyes of countless cameras and Sister Tian's strong presence, she had no choice but to give a flawless reply that wouldn't cause any conflict or controversy: "I'm fine with anything."

“That’s settled then! Peng Yuchang, didn’t you and Jingyi act in a TV series together before? So the two of you can be a team, old partners will definitely work together smoothly!” Tian Xiwei then put her arm around Zhang Zifeng’s slender shoulder, “Then my sister and I will be a team, the two of us sisters will farm together.”

"And what about me?" Shen Juan couldn't help but speak up for himself.

His closest brother, his girlfriend, his younger sister who admires and idolizes him, and his junior who openly likes him.
How could this lineup possibly leave me behind?

Did something go wrong?
"Isn't there a little shovel over there specially prepared for lone people? You can find a spot to dig slowly, no one will bother you." Born in Chongqing, studied in Shanghai, and recently living in Beijing, Sister Tian spoke with a not-so-authentic Beijing accent, which gave the impression of full of sarcasm.

Are you ganging up to bully me?

"If you want to incite your fans to cyberbully us, then keep playing the victim in front of the camera!"

Shen Juan remained silent for a moment.

He opened his mouth several times as if to speak, but in the end, he had nothing to say.

That's how Hajida is.

Although she gets easily angered, she's also very easy to appease.

Therefore, it's better to wait until she's out of her stressful breathing state and her emotions have stabilized before gently stroking her fur.

By the time everyone finished their work and returned to the Mushroom House, and had taken a shower and changed their clothes, it was already completely dark.

Peng Peng and Shen Juan sat together and started a fire.

Sister Tian, ​​along with Zhang Zifeng and Zhang Jingyi, squatted to the side chatting idly, occasionally letting out clear and cheerful laughter.

Although Zhang Jingyi and Zhang Zifeng are not the outgoing and lively type and don't talk much in front of outsiders, they have Sister Tian as a bridge for communication. Moreover, the three of them are of similar age and have some common topics, so they can still have something to talk about and avoid awkward silences.

After some time, the local specialty food that Teacher Huang had carefully prepared, wrapped and roasted, was almost ready.

“It’s about time. I think we can open one bag and try it out,” Huang Lei said as he walked to the barbecue grill.

"I'm nervous!"

"No problem, it smells wonderful!"

"Enoki mushrooms, they're cooked!"

"It smells so good! Yunnan is amazing!"

The cheers for He Jiong were incessant.

"Alright, let's get to the table! Never mind! Let's start eating!" With a wave of his hand, Huang Xiaochu, whose mouth had been pouting from his old partner's teasing, immediately gathered around. Each of the five young people took a plate and lined up next to Huang Xiaochu to wait for their food. Peng Peng, who was quick and nimble, was the first to grab a plate and headed towards the pavilion.

Huang Lei put on gloves and scooped a bag of freshly cooked chicken feet tendons from the pot with his bare hands. However, the food was too hot, and even with his thick skin, he couldn't stand it. After all, he wasn't the kind of guy who liked to drink boiling water. So he could only urge loudly, "Come over here, bring the plates over here too!"

Seeing that Zhang Jingyi, who was at the front of the line waiting for food, was still in a daze, Shen Juan patted her on the shoulder. Only then did Zhang Jingyi come back to her senses and quickly went over with the plate in both hands.

"Come to my side, come to my side!" Huang Lei's brows furrowed from the heat, and his voice became more urgent.

Zhang Jingyi then stepped forward again, obediently squatted down next to Huang Lei, and respectfully held the plate with both hands.

"Wu! Wu! Wu!"

Suddenly, the wrapper in Huang Lei's hand came undone, and all the chicken tendons inside fell to the ground.

"What fell?" He heard a noise coming from the kitchen and quickly got up from his chair to check the situation.

"The chicken tendon came off."

"Oh, no!" He Jiong looked distressed.

"I said bring the plates over here!" Huang Lei instinctively shifted the blame.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Zhang Jingyi remained in the same position as when she was holding the plate, looked at the chicken tendons scattered all over the ground, lowered her head and quietly admitted her mistake.

The atmosphere in the kitchen instantly became subtle.

Huang Lei and He Jiong sighed, while Zhang Jingyi blamed herself.

The remaining four members of the Mushroom House F4 looked at each other in bewilderment.

To be fair, Shen Juan felt that the chicken leg tendon falling off had nothing to do with Zhang Jingyi.

At least she doesn't have to bear the main responsibility.

In his opinion, Zhang Jingyi had already put the plate in Huang Lei's face. The main reason for the accident was that Huang Lei hadn't tied the strap properly in the first place, and he was the one who let go first. It had little to do with Zhang Jingyi.

Of course, now that things have come to this point, it's pointless to discuss right or wrong or to determine who bears primary or secondary responsibility.

So Shen Juan squatted down next to Zhang Jingyi, who was still apologizing with her head down. Instead of offering words of comfort, he took the plate from her and picked up all the chicken tendons that had fallen on the ground, repackaging them on a new plate. He then looked up at everyone and said, "I think they can still be eaten after washing them. What do you guys think?"

“I think it’s okay. Have you heard of the three-second rule? Food that falls on the ground isn’t considered dirty if you pick it up within three seconds.” Peng Peng, who had rushed back to the kitchen from the pavilion after hearing the commotion, also came out with Shen Juan to chat.

"But that's already more than three seconds," Sister Tian's sudden remark eased the previously stiff and awkward atmosphere slightly.

"Three seconds is just a figure of speech for ordinary people."

"For us, we can withstand even thirty seconds."

"Oh, okay? Then I'll try it first and see if it's cooked through." Sister Tian reached out to grab a bit of the chicken tendon that had fallen on the ground from Shen Juan's plate to taste it, as a way of expressing her attitude and stance.

Although she indiscriminately despises all philanderers, she still has a basic sense of right and wrong, and naturally would not do the kind of evil deeds of taking advantage of someone's misfortune or kicking someone when they're down.

"Let me do it. I've been digging in the dirt all day by myself with this little shovel, and I'm really hungry now." Shen Juan grabbed a chicken tendon and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Are you ready?"

"It's cooked, and it tastes pretty good."

"Hahaha! How come people are already scrambling to eat things that have fallen on the ground in the very first episode?" He Jiong laughed.

"This is actually my fault. I didn't tie this thing tightly enough at the beginning. I'll clean it a little later and then stir-fry it again." Huang Lei finally realized his mistake and quickly took responsibility, afraid that after the show aired, the audience would criticize him for shirking responsibility and bullying newcomers.

He Jiong nodded in agreement: "Sure, sure, come on over, we can eat anything, we're not that picky at Mushroom House."

Huang Lei: "Yes, everyone should take a shower, it'll be fine."

Zhou Xun, who had been observing everyone's reactions, couldn't help but smile silently. Her eyes were full of admiration as she looked at Shen Juan. She felt that his emotional intelligence and character were indeed good. Coupled with his outstanding appearance and career achievements, it was no wonder that he could win the love of so many fans and girls.

Zhang Jingyi felt much better.

He was looking at Shen Juan and the others with a grateful expression.

Of course, the main focus is on Shen Juan.

She just felt that her senior was really nice!

Although he didn't offer any direct words of comfort, his actions revealed his care for her, which was truly heartwarming!

The way he gently helped her out of that predicament was truly dazzling!
If all their previous encounters, whether in the coffee shop or at school, were one-sided feelings of excitement on her part.

It was all her own doing that she unilaterally identified her senior as the kind-hearted god she longed to meet during the cold, helpless winter.

So now
She finally experienced and felt the emotions and feelings from her senior that she had never felt before.

My senior isn't completely without feelings for me, is he?

I'm not someone who's dispensable in my senior's eyes!
Thinking this, she couldn't help but smile, and even the air around her seemed to lighten up.

　I'll have dinner and rest for a bit later. The second update should be in the early hours of the morning, so please don't force yourselves to wait.
　　Thank you all for your votes, monthly passes, and subscriptions!
