I raise furry animals and fly them to my motherland.

Chapter 192 I'm Stronger Than You
The fans of the celebrity in the live stream quickly came to hate Xu Ying.

[Speechless. Is Station Chief Xu deliberately trying to embarrass Ming Xueying? Even I, a mere bystander, can't stand it anymore.]

[Yes, Xiaoming handed it over with both hands; that's respectful enough, isn't it?]

[What a waste of food. Our little Ming is so kind; even after being attacked by the fox, he still brings it food.]

When Ming Xueying met Xu Ying's gaze, her apology deepened. She lowered her eyes and said in a consultative tone, "How about this, I'll have my assistant buy one from the city and bring it to you tonight."

Seeing the other party's humble tone, Xu Ying suppressed the urge to frown. She was speechless. Who said variety shows were so lucrative?

She shook her head and patted the fox Si Bao perched on his shoulder: "No need, the little foxes have plenty to eat. They just haven't smelled the aroma of fried chicken before."

Ming Xueying squatted down and picked up the scattered chicken pieces one by one, putting them into a trash bag with a cool and stubborn demeanor.

She apologized as she picked them up, saying, "I'm so sorry, Station Master Xu."

Ming Xueying's attitude was very humble. In the eyes of those around her, it seemed as if Xu Ying had asked Ming Xueying for something, and then blamed Ming Xueying for not taking it properly.

When Jia Yao arrived, he chatted with Ming Xueying and learned that Xu Ying's appearance was very handsome and that fans mistook him for him. At this moment, he didn't have a good impression of Xu Ying.

Seeing that Xu Ying hadn't caught the chicken properly and had dropped it on the ground, leaving Ming Xueying to clean it up, he squatted down with a stern face to help Ming Xueying pick up the chicken pieces.

"It's really unnecessary for the team to drive over 100 kilometers from here to the city just for a bag of chicken nuggets."

After picking up the chicken nuggets, Jia Yao stood up abruptly, stared intently at Xu Ying, and spoke in a somewhat aggressive tone.

"Don't make things too difficult for our Xiaoming."

Xu Ying:?
Didn't she already say there was no need to buy it? Does this person not understand human language?

Jia Yao then turned to Ming Xueying and said, "Xiao Ming, why are you being such a nice guy? You got hit by a fox and you still bought it food."

"Your fox almost disfigured Xiaoming, and you haven't apologized yet."

Ming Xueying tugged at Jia Yao's sleeve: "Maybe the little animal is just shy. Yao-ge, let it go. Why bother arguing with a little animal?"

Wow, Jia Yao is such a great boyfriend! He gets straight to the point.

[I cried! Our Xiaoming has been targeted ever since he first appeared on the show, but finally someone is standing up for him!]

These internet celebrities are all utterly useless; all they think about is creating hype and sensationalism.

Fox Si looked at Jia Yao's aggressive behavior towards his sister and felt wronged.

[It was this woman who insisted on pressing her face, covered in chemicals, against me that made me reach out my claws!]
[I remembered my sister's instructions, so I kept my claws tucked in. Just now, I was using my paw pads to support her face.]
The production team wanted this kind of conflict; the atmosphere was tense and ready to fight.

Yao Yingzhe glanced at the three of them but didn't interrupt for the time being.

Jiang Mo's persona is that of a cool and aloof top star, but in reality, he just frowned. He glanced down at his watch, worried that this farce would delay the filming schedule of the program.

Seeing the two of them pointing their finger at Xu Ying, Ye Jie frowned, took a few steps forward, and said indignantly, "It wasn't that Station Chief Xu didn't hold on properly, it was Xiao Ming who didn't hold on properly and dropped the bag."

Everyone looked at her, and Xu Ying's eyes widened as well.

This girl is just telling the truth.

Ye Jie's agent was at the recording site and was so anxious when he heard Ye Jie standing up for Xu Ying that he stomped his feet.

Even if it were true, saying it directly in front of the camera without giving Ming Xueying any face would completely embarrass her.
How should we record the next episode?

If Ye Jie had a good public image, netizens might praise her for being straightforward and genuine. But the current situation is that netizens can't stand her no matter what, while they have a soft spot for Ming Xueying.

He was in a bad mood, and all his agent's advice went in one ear and out the other.

Seeing everyone looking at her, Ye Jie continued, "Doesn't the production team have many cameras? Just watch the replay and you'll know!" "It's not Station Master Xu's fault!"

Xu Ying's pupils flashed with shock. It turned out that there really were such straightforward and silly beauties in the entertainment industry.

A single bottle of my ointment was enough to make her fight for me.

Oh, silly girl.

Moved, she reached out and pulled Ye Jie to calm her down. The desert was her territory, and there were plenty of ways to expose Ming Xueying. A direct confrontation like this was not in Ye Jie's best interest.

However, Ye Jie got angry and started chattering: "Besides, fennec foxes are such gentle animals, how could they hit people for no reason?"

"Are you wearing foundation?"

"I don't wear heavy makeup!"

Ming Xueying's eyes widened in surprise. She didn't answer Ye Jie directly, but shook her head: "Ye Zi, you can't say that. You're putting the victim's guilt first."

Jia Yao stood up for his "brother" out of loyalty: "So you mean, flies don't land on eggs without cracks, and it's Xiao Ming's own fault that she got beaten up?"

"According to your logic, there must be a reason why the fox hit someone—so you deserve to be called a 'green tea' by the whole internet, right?"

The last sentence stunned Ye Jie. Her eyes reddened, and she pursed her lips, regretting that she was too clumsy with words to refute it.

“Jia Yao,” Xu Ying’s eyes turned cold, “what you said is quite interesting.”

"According to your logic—your fans keep praising your songs for their good data but you don't win any awards, shouldn't you also reflect on whether you are indeed just a pretty face?"

Xu Ying's words hit Jia Yao right where it hurt.

His face immediately turned a deep shade of liver: "What right do you have to judge me! Who do you think you are?"

Xu Ying replied calmly, "Because I have a national-level award, awarded by the military, I'm more capable than you!"

Jia Yao was speechless for a moment: "You!"

Yao Yingzhe, the oldest guest, stepped in to smooth things over.

"Hey, young people shouldn't be so hot-tempered!"

He patted the shoulders of the two people on either side like an old father, saying, "Look, life is like a pot of slow-cooked soup; if the heat isn't right, the flavor won't come out."

"We've only just met, our journey together is only just beginning!"

Ming Xueying's deliberate act of smashing the chicken nuggets on the ground did not escape the keen eyes of Yao Yingzhe, a shrewd person in the entertainment industry.

He saw through it but didn't say anything: "If you ask me, taking a step back opens up a vast expanse, and yielding a little brings peace of mind. Don't you all agree?"

The other guests nodded in agreement.

"Speaking of slow-cooked soup, it's almost dinner time now. Everyone must be hungry after traveling all this way to the desert!"

Yao Yingzhe began to cue the program's flow and transitions.

"Next, we'll have an icebreaker bonfire party before heading to West Village!"

Nishimura is also a village near the desert rescue station. Although the village is small, it is a tourist attraction close to the scenic area.

The accommodations are among the best available in the scattered villages in the desert.

Yao Yingzhe stepped in to mediate, and the two sides could no longer speak. The five guests got into the vehicles arranged by the production team.
