Xu Fan and Fu Chun walked at the back.
The little princess was already exhausted, but she stubbornly refused to let Xu Fan help her carry the suitcase, saying that she wasn't tired. However, her gradually slowing pace betrayed her.
They walked slowly behind, and when they heard voices coming from ahead, Xu Fan thought he had finally caught up with the group. He quickened his pace and walked forward, only to find that some people were arguing, some were trying to break up a fight, and some were arguing.
As the argument escalated, especially with Ji Yuzhi and Lin Ke seemingly on the verge of a physical fight, the production crew continued filming them without offering any intervention to mediate or resolve the conflict.
"Stop arguing, stop arguing, anything can be resolved..." Xu Fan said as he stepped forward, trying to separate the two and ease the tense atmosphere.
Lin Ke already disliked Xu Fan, and pushed him away when Xu Fan was about to touch him. She didn't use much force, but Xu Fan was already thin and weak, and with this push, Xu Fan was directly pushed to the ground.
"Get out of here! What do you know? Pretending to be a good guy? Disgusting!" Lin Ke seemed to be venting her anger on Xu Fan.
Ji Yuzhi was the same, yelling at Xu Fan, "What can be resolved! He ruined my clothes, a grown man wearing such heavy makeup, and they're so pretentious, insisting I smell bad when I don't smell at all!"
Seeing the conflict escalating, the cameraman quickly moved the camera closer.
"I hate people who pretend to be nice guys the most."
"Hahaha, they got sanctioned, serves them right!"
Before Xu Fan could react, he was pushed down onto the gravel ground, and he could feel his palms being rubbed raw by the rough stones.
It hurts so much... He has been very sensitive to pain since he was a child. He could feel as if there were many small stones stuck in his palm. The broken skin was being rubbed by sand, and the pain brought tears to his eyes.
He struggled to his feet, while Fu Chun watched the show from behind, saying, "Serves you right for pretending to be a good guy!"
After getting up, he ignored the wound on his hand and took out some Tiger Balm from his bag. He had always had very delicate skin, and all kinds of insects and mosquitoes liked to crawl on him, leaving a string of red and swollen bumps on his fair skin.
Summer was the hardest time for him. There were so many bugs, and it was so itchy after being crawled on and bitten. When he was a child in an orphanage, if other children were bitten, the staff would spray them with floral water. If they were particularly itchy, they would wash and apply a cooling ointment.
But his sister never applied it to him. Maybe he was too unlikable. One time, he mustered up the courage to say to his sister, "Sister, I'm so itchy. Can you apply this to me too? The other kids say it feels cool and makes them stop itching."
The staff member looked at the child in front of her, thin and bony, with countless red and swollen bumps covering his fair skin. Her intense disgust and disdain were almost palpable: "How can you be so selfish? Who knows where you've been running off to? You've got so many bumps, and you've already put all this on yourself. What are the other kids going to do with it?"
Xu Fan's face turned pale with fright: "Sister, I, I didn't mean that. Just a little bit is enough."
The staff member grabbed the back of his shirt collar, took out some floral water, and casually sprayed it on him twice: "Okay! You can go now!"
Xu Fan was quite frightened and had no choice but to shrink back into her small blanket. The floral water only brought a cool feeling for a second or two and could not relieve the itching at all.
He couldn't sleep, so he kept scratching himself. The more he scratched, the itchier it got. Suddenly, a pillow was thrown at his head, and the neighbor's child said impatiently, "What are you scratching for?! It's so noisy! Everyone can't sleep because of you!"
Xu Fan quickly got up. The children looked at him with resentful eyes. He quickly apologized to them and promised never to scratch them again.
He only dared to lie down after all the other children had gone to bed. His body was very itchy, and his nerves were very tense. He felt terrible and couldn't sleep. He could only slowly endure the long night.
When he grew a little older, he was able to earn some money. When he first received his salary, he went to the pharmacy and found that the cheapest ointment cost more than ten yuan, which he couldn't bear to spend. Later, he discovered that medicated oil only cost 3 yuan. The shop assistant told him that it could also relieve itching and refresh him. From then on, 3 yuan a bottle of medicated oil became a staple in his household.
He also had half a bottle of medicated oil in his bag, thinking that there would definitely be more mosquitoes in the village than on the street, and that applying it would prevent him from having trouble sleeping.
He first went to Pei Yin's side, opened the cap of the medicated oil, and brought it under Pei Yin's nose. Pei Yin was still dizzy, but when he suddenly breathed in the unique cool and refreshing smell of the medicated oil, he felt much better and less nauseous.
"Thank you..." He weakly raised his head and thanked the person in front of him. He originally thought it was a member of the production crew, but he found out it was Xu Fan, the guest who was disliked by everyone on the first day, so he was stunned.
"You're welcome. Are you feeling better?" Xu Fan replied softly.
"...Much better."
Xu Fan shoved the bottle of medicated oil into Pei Yin's hand: "Hold it and smell it for a while."
"Okay..." Pei Yin accepted the medicated oil with a complicated expression.
Then he walked over to Ji Yuzhi and tugged at his sleeve: "Stop arguing, I'll clean your clothes for you now, okay?"
Ji Yu thought to himself, "Why is this annoying guy here again? I heard he can clean his clothes right now. There's no water here, and even if there were water, it wouldn't necessarily clean them!" He laughed angrily, "Fine, you clean them for me and I won't argue with him!" He then pointed at Lin Ke.
Lin Ke rolled her eyes: "This is between him and me, I don't need your interference!"
Xu Fan didn't say anything, took the medicated oil back from Pei Yin, and then took a few sheets of toilet paper from his bag.
"Could you turn around and stand up straight?"
"Fine! I'd like to see what you're going to do!"
He turned around, his back to Xu Fan. Xu Fan poured some medicated oil onto a piece of paper and wiped Ji Yuzhi's clothes little by little. The area stained with foundation was quite large.
Xu Fan's movements were transmitted through the leather jacket to Ji Yuzhi's skin, and he felt as if a kitten's paws were scratching his back, making him feel itchy.
"Okay," Xu Fan said, having used up the half-bottle of medicated oil he had brought to clean Ji Yuzhi's leather jacket.
Ji Yuzhi looked back and saw that the spot where the foundation had been smudged was indeed clean. His anger subsided considerably, and he began to reflect on his actions.
He said to Lin Ke and Pei Yin, "This guy cleaned my clothes, so I'm not going to hold it against you!"
Lin Ke had been annoyed by the argument, but after calming down, he realized he was the one who bumped into the other person's back first, so he was in the wrong: "I was also at fault, I'm sorry."
Pei Yin felt much better after smelling the medicated oil, and Wen Jingqian stepped in to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, let's continue on our way."
"OK."
"it is good."
"OK."
The conflict was resolved, and they set off again with their respective children.
Xu Fan breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this; the matter was finally resolved, and he didn't want to see everyone arguing.
As Lin Ke passed Xu Fan, she whispered to him, "Don't expect me to be grateful to you!" Her tone was sharp, but less disgusted.
Xu Fan simply lowered her head and pursed her lips upon hearing this.
Fu Chun, who was watching from afar, saw all of this. What an idiot! He resolved the conflict, and not a single person is grateful to him? How stupid! If it were her, she wouldn't have bothered with them and let them keep arguing!
