Immediately afterwards, Wen Jingqian got up, saw the task card, and went to get breakfast.

Pei Yin slept until he naturally woke up, which wasn't too late. When he arrived, there wasn't much breakfast left, so he took enough for himself and his child and left.

Ji Yuzhi was woken up by the production team because if they hadn't, they didn't know how long he would have slept, which would have greatly delayed the filming schedule.

"Teacher Ji, Teacher Ji, wake up!"

"Why can't he get up every morning?"

"A scene that seems so familiar, hahaha."

"Wow, he's sleeping in his outer pants even in this heat. Is he afraid the production crew will expose his underwear again?"

"This is hilarious, hahaha!"

"Damn the production team!"

Ji Yuzhi rubbed his eyes, seemingly still not fully awake, unaware that he was being broadcast live, and openly cursed the production team.

The sound was very soft, and the audience in front of the camera may not have heard it clearly, but the staff could hear it.

The staff member gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't go get your breakfast soon, it'll all go bad!"

"What breakfast?"

The staff handed him the task card.

"Damn, I don't have to cook today, that's great!" Ji Yuzhi exclaimed excitedly after reading the contents of the document.

The staff immediately poured cold water on the idea: "But you got up too late. The food may have spoiled from being exposed to the sun. I suggest you go quickly."

"Why didn't you say so earlier! I'll blame you if I don't get breakfast later!"

Ji Yuzhi roared, immediately got up, and rushed to the breakfast area without brushing his teeth or washing his face.

The employee who got yelled at again: Didn't I already tell you when I called you? You're lazy and deaf, whose fault is that!

After finally getting there, all that was left on the table were a few steamed buns, mantou, sweet potatoes, and a little bit of millet porridge.

Ji Yuzhi picked up a small steamed bun and tasted it. Hmm, it was a little sour, but it wasn't a big problem; the taste was pretty good.

He grabbed the plastic bag next to him, ready to devour the rest of the breakfast.

At that moment, the image of Xu Fan, thin and small, looking malnourished, reappeared in his mind.

He asked the production crew, "Is there anyone who hasn't taken theirs yet?"

The production team said, "You're the only one left, you can take it all."

Ji Yuzhi only started packing after hearing this. He was relieved that Xu Fan had eaten. He was so weak, and he was afraid that if Xu Fan didn't eat breakfast, he would collapse in front of him when doing the mission.

But why is he concerned about Xu Fan?

Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore! Eating is the most important thing.

"? Ji Yuzhi, this extraordinary man, actually cares about others and worries about them not having enough to eat?"

"Perhaps his kind nature was brought out."

"That's hilarious! But I think it's because there's someone he cares about among the remaining people, and he's worried that if he takes it, that person won't have anything to eat!"

"...You netizens, all you ever think about is creating couples. Any normal person would leave some for the next person, okay?"

Do you think Ji Yuzhi is normal?

……

Ji Yuzhi is indeed not that kind. If anyone other than Xu Fan hadn't eaten, he would definitely have taken it all.

In his eyes, Lin Ke was a sissy with a sharp tongue, Wen Jingqian was a mean-spirited and two-faced dead man, and Pei Yin was a yellow-haired bastard who deserved a beating.

Only Xu Fan is gentle, kind, and even a little... cute?

As soon as Ji Yuzhi returned home, he received a notification from the program team that he needed to go to a chicken farm in the village to meet up.

Ji Yuzhi: "...I just got back!"

The staff member stopped acting and just rolled their eyes.

Ji Yuzhi quickly woke up Chaochao from his sleep, stuffed two steamed buns into his mouth, and started dressing him.

Chaochao was still dreaming when two things were stuffed into his mouth, and he chewed them subconsciously.

"Hurry up and eat, kid! Be careful, or the production team will punish us by making you late for lunch!"

Upon hearing that there was no food, Chaochao snapped out of it. At home, he could eat whatever he wanted, but on this show, he was sometimes hungry and sometimes full.

Every time he was hungry, he would think of the scene where he would eat at home and throw away the remaining half of the food when he didn't want to eat anymore. He wished he could travel back in time and pick up those things from the trash can and eat them.

The thought of having nothing to eat made him want to cry. He quickly got up and cooperated with Ji Yuzhi's actions, and then the two of them went to wash up together.

The others leisurely finished their breakfast and rested for a while before receiving the notification to set off.

Around 9:30, everyone arrived safely at the village's chicken farm.

This chicken farm is not very large, with about a few hundred chickens.

It's more like a large open space with many chickens kept in an enclosure than a chicken farm.

There are also many round feeding troughs inside, where the chicks eat, drink, and relieve themselves.

As soon as they arrived, Lin Ke, who was very clean, Pei Yin, who had a sensitive sense of smell, and Fu Chun, who was spoiled, couldn't help but gag at the smell of chicken droppings.

"Yue!" Lin Ke vomited the most. He was terrified of chickens, which have feathers, and he found their eyes terrifying. The smell of chicken droppings wasn't so unbearable for him, but he felt nauseous whenever he saw a live chicken.

Fu Chun only found the smell of chicken droppings a bit stinky when she first arrived, then she got used to it.

Although Wen Jingqian did not vomit, his face was pale, and he looked like he was trying hard to hold it in.

The other children, except for Fu Chun, were very excited because children love animals. They like cats and dogs, and they also like chicks. Their curiosity about chicks makes them ignore the smell of chicken droppings.

Looking at Lin Ke and Pei Yin vomiting, Ji Yuzhi thought: How dramatic! They don't mind eating chicken, but they feel nauseous and vomit just looking at a live chicken? Why isn't Xu Fan like this!

At this moment, Xu Fan saw that Lin Ke and Fu Chun had vomited. He quickly took out Fu Chun's small cup from his bag, unscrewed the lid, and let Fu Chun drink some first. Then he went to take care of Lin Ke, who was in more serious condition.

Lin Ke was feeling so unwell that she ran to the side and leaned against the wall. Xu Fan jogged over, took out his own cup, unscrewed it, and held it to Lin Ke's lips: "Are you alright? Drink some water to help you feel better, okay?"

Lin Ke needed water right now, but apart from Xu Fan, no one had brought a backpack, let alone water.

Lin Ke listlessly raised her eyes, saw it was Xu Fan, and gave a forced smile: "You're so thoughtful..."

After saying that, he took two sips of water from Xu Fan's hand.

Xu Fan was very nervous. This was his water cup, and he was afraid that Lin Ke would find it disgusting, but Lin Ke didn't, which relieved him.

"Ahhh! It's time to feed them water! It's time to feed them water!"

"It's so sweet!"

"No, Xu Fan gave Lin Ke his own used water cup. It's so dirty!"

"I'd say these celebrities are so useless; they can't even stand the smell of chicken."

"Haven't you ever eaten what your friend ate or drunk what he drank? Besides, the situation was urgent, and Xu Fan was just trying to be helpful!"

"Sisters, stop talking! I've created a KeFan CP (Ke Fan CP) super topic, feel free to come and join!"

"Lin Ke is so beautiful, why isn't she Fan Ke?"

"Uh, look at Xu Fan's small frame, can he even be a top?"

Lin Ke took a couple of sips of water, regained his senses slightly, and gave a weak smile: "Much better, thank you."

"I'm glad you're alright." After saying that, Xu Fan helped Lin Ke back to the meeting place.

Ji Yuzhi, who had been watching Xu Fan's every move closely, nearly popped his eyes out.

Why should Xu Fan feed that sissy water just because he vomited?!

He immediately feigned weakness: "Ugh, it stinks! I'm going to throw up, yuck, yuck!"

Unfortunately, his acting was terrible; what weak person would speak so loudly?

Xu Fan was so preoccupied with the older and younger children that he didn't even notice the commotion surrounding Ji Yuzhi's death.

Ji Yuzhi lifted his eyelids and glanced casually at Xu Fan, only to find that Xu Fan wasn't looking in his direction at all. He then raised his voice a little higher: "Oh dear, I really can't take it anymore, I feel so awful, I wish I had some water!"

Xu Fan was still patting Lin Ke and Fu Chun on the back to help them catch their breath, and didn't even notice him.

Ji Yuzhi was so angry that he clenched his back teeth, and was about to make some noise.

Wen Jingqian coldly asked, "Are you done pretending?"

Is it really that obvious? Ji Yuzhi questioned the meaning of life.

Since Xu Fan ignored him, he decided to vent his anger on someone else. He glared at Wen Jingqian, snorted, and then fell silent.

Wen Jingqian spoke again: "Where did this cow come from?"

"Pfft!" Pei Yin, who had recovered, couldn't help but laugh.

Ji Yuzhi was so angry his head was about to explode. "You deadpan face, you blondie, just you wait and see!"

"Damn it, why would Ji Yuzhi do this? Is he trying to get Xu Fan's attention?!"

"Hey upstairs, don't fantasize about your Xu Fan being a heartthrob, okay? Ji Yuzhi might genuinely be affected by the smell."

"But wasn't he perfectly fine at first? He only started acting like that after Xu Fan fed Lin Ke water!"

"I suddenly remembered something. This morning he asked the production crew if anyone hadn't eaten yet. Could it be that he was worried Xu Fan was hungry?"

"It's terrifying to think about! Why do they all like someone as ordinary as Xu Fan? Do they all have a fetish for the ugly?"

"Omnivorous shippers rejoice! I have a new ship to ship!"

Ji Feng, who had stayed up all night watching the live stream with dark circles under his eyes, felt a surge of strong dissatisfaction upon seeing this scene and the comments on the screen.

Xu Fan was someone he had his eye on, and he wouldn't allow so many people to covet him.

That Lin Ke looks delicate and weak, not threatening at all. So where did this stupid and strong idiot come from? He looks kind of familiar.

That's a really clumsy way to attract attention.

The more he looked at Ji Yuzhi, the more familiar he seemed, so he searched for him online.

Ah... So it's this kid, the young master of the Ji family.

The Ji family and the Ji family have the exact same pronunciation, and both families hold equally prestigious positions in the capital.

It seems that getting rid of Ji Yuzhi is not going to work. We'll see in the next episode. He doesn't think he'll lose to someone as stupid as Ji Yuzhi.

Seeing that Lin Ke seemed to be in better condition than before, Lao Hu began to assign today's tasks: "Everyone, do you see the chicken farm behind us?"

The children enthusiastically replied, "We saw it!"

"Today we will split into two groups and have two tasks."

"I want to be in a group with Xu Fan!" Ji Yuzhi, the most conspicuous person, jumped out first.

Lin Ke shielded Xu Fan behind her and said fiercely to Ji Yuzhi, "Xu Fan is mine!"

"Wow, wow, this is a chaotic scene!"

"I still don't understand why Xu Fan is so sought after."

"I love Xu Fan! He's well-behaved, capable, and kind—perfect for marrying! I want to be Xu Fan's fan!"

"Damn! Now that you mention it, I want to marry him too!"

The atmosphere became tense.

Old Hu quickly stepped in to ease the tension: "There are rules for grouping people. Let me explain what the task is first."

"As you can see, the chicks inside have laid a lot of eggs, right? The first task is to collect these eggs, and the second task is to go in and clean up the chicken droppings that have accumulated overnight, and then sprinkle water inside to create a comfortable living environment for the chicks."

"That's not fair! Collecting eggs is so easy, but chicken droppings stink!" Ji Yuzhi retorted.

Old Hu shook his head: "Collecting eggs isn't as simple as you think. Chicks will protect their young, and you might get attacked if you're not careful!"

After hearing the two tasks, Lin Ke's face turned very ugly. He thought the chicken droppings smelled terrible and didn't want to sweep them up or collect the eggs, fearing he would be pecked by the chickens.

The observant Xu Fan had already noticed Lin Ke's unusual behavior. Lin Ke wasn't disgusted by the taste of the chicken; he was afraid. Everyone has things they're afraid of.

Xu Fan leaned closer and whispered, "It's okay, I'm here."

Lin Ke forced himself to cheer up and replied, "Okay." He felt reassured having Xu Fan around, but what if he and Xu Fan weren't assigned to the same group?

Others were also reluctant; nobody wanted to come into contact with feces.

Seeing everyone's reluctant expressions, Lao Hu added, "The team that does well will have a hearty lunch! The team that doesn't do well will have a simple lunch."

It's okay, we can just cook for ourselves when we get home at noon. That's what everyone thinks, and they all bought a lot of groceries yesterday.

Old Hu added, "We've set up a rest area for everyone nearby today. You can't go back for lunch; there are tasks waiting for you this afternoon!"

That damn production team, they're so sneaky!

"Okay, now we'll announce some team rules. Xu Fan, the dad who made the most money at yesterday's market, please choose your task and your teammates. If you choose to collect eggs, choose one teammate. If you choose to clean up the chicken farm, choose two teammate."

Ji Yuzhi blinked at Xu Fan, trying her best to appear weak and pitiful, as if to say, "Choose me! Choose me!"

But Xu Fan didn't even look at him, and decisively said, "My chosen task is to collect eggs, and my chosen teammate is Lin Ke."

Lin Ke finally breathed a sigh of relief. With Xu Fan around, he wasn't so scared anymore.

Some people weren't so happy; Ji Yuzhi's face was gloomy.

Xu Fan is really ungrateful; he didn't even choose him. In every way, he's better than that Lin Ke!

"Alright, the remaining three of us will automatically form a team! Our mission is to clean up the chicken farm!"

Wen Jingqian and Pei Yin both looked at Ji Yuzhi with great disdain, hoping that this guy wouldn't hold them back.

"Hey, what kind of looks are those!" Ji Yuzhi was furious. He was determined to perform well in the upcoming mission, to make Xu Fan and those who looked down on him look at him with new eyes, and to make Xu Fan regret not choosing him!

After everyone put on gloves and shoe covers, they began to enter the chicken farm.
