After finishing their meal, everyone cleaned up and prepared to rest early, as there were new tasks to complete the next day.

The production team disappeared as soon as the show ended, and Lin Ke didn't care about them. Xu Fan suggested that Lin Ke and Lingling come over to rest again, and Lin Ke naturally agreed. Xu Fan's house was the most luxurious house in this episode, cool and convenient.

However, Lin Ke was still a little embarrassed. This house was chosen by Xu Fan through his own abilities, and he himself was not as capable as Xu Fan, so living in Xu Fan's house would be like getting something for nothing.

"Xu Fan, thank you so much!"

Xu Fan shook his head: "No need to thank Lin Ke, we're friends, there's no need for thanks between friends."

Lin Ke was stunned for a moment, then heard Xu Fan continue, "You're the one who taught me this."

After realizing what she meant, Lin Ke smiled and said, "Then I won't be polite!"

Xu Fan happily helped Lin Ke spread out the bed sheets he had brought, while Lin Ke watched Xu Fan's busy figure thoughtfully.

Is Xu Fan really different from before, or is this just his true personality?

But this is good. In the previous episode, when Lin Ke thanked Xu Fan, Xu Fan would only lower his head and whisper "You're welcome" without saying anything more. But now Xu Fan can say to him in a lively way that we are friends and that friends don't need to thank each other.

What terrible things must he have gone through to become the timid and submissive person he was when we met in the first episode?

It's all those damned beasts' fault!

After Xu Fan made the bed, Lin Ke, Xu Fan, Fu Chun, and Lingling washed up in turn. After washing up, they lay on the soft bed with the air conditioning on and fell soundly asleep.

Pei Yin also coaxed Jiajia to sleep. Fortunately, there was an electric fan this time, and the environment was relatively good, so the little girl shouldn't feel wronged.

Ji Yuzhi was very satisfied with the accommodation. The floor was clean and there was an electric fan to blow on it. The walls were not dusty, and the surroundings were very well sealed off, so he wouldn't be woken up by the sun the next day.

Only Ji Feng couldn't stand the smell of sweat on Chaochao's body, so he went to the public tap outside to fill a basin with water and let Chaochao take a bath by himself. Chaochao obeyed Ji Feng's every word and went to take a bath.

Actually, before dinner, the live stream hadn't shown Ji Feng and Chao Chao yet. Chao Chao was making a fuss at home, and Ji Feng grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up.

Chaochao felt himself gradually moving away from the ground, struggling desperately but to no avail.

In Chaochao's eyes, Ji Feng was like a demon. He said to him in a gloomy tone, "If you cry and make a fuss again, I will never feed you again. Anyway, no one will know that I am the one who is not feeding you. Even if you starve to death, they will only think that you are picky about food, since you are usually like that."

Chaochao was so scared he almost peed his pants. He nodded frantically in agreement, and only then did Ji Feng put him down.

After he stopped crying, Ji Feng did not withhold his food, and Chaochao fell asleep after taking a bath.

Looking at the appalling environment, Ji Feng really didn't want to take a bath. If he went outside to bathe, who knew if Ji Yuzhi would suddenly appear, see him, and mock him? And if he bathed in the house, with mud on the floor, he would definitely get all wet.

Ultimately, Ji Feng chose face over cleanliness and took a bath in the house, which resulted in a mess of mud and dirt on the floor that looked rather disgusting.

In the middle of the night, Ji Feng felt itchy all over his body. When he woke up, he found small insects crawling all over him.

In an instant, goosebumps rose all over his body. He had paid such a high price to get close to Xu Fan, so he had to get what he wanted. Otherwise, what was the point of all the suffering he had endured?

That night, some slept soundly while others suffered from insomnia.

……

After returning from the Ji family in the afternoon, Jiang Yichuan immediately searched for the name "Xu Fan" online and found a variety show that Xu Fan was participating in.

It turns out this is Xu Fan's second episode. He never noticed it in the first episode. How did Ji Feng find out?

Since it's a live broadcast anyway, he might as well watch today's episode and see what Ji Feng and Xu Fan are up to behind his back!

Jiang Yichuan opened the live stream and watched it until the end. He realized that Ji Feng hadn't actually had much contact with Xu Fan. He only appeared at Xu Fan's door near the end, but they didn't spend much time alone together. He had been blinded by anger at the Ji family earlier, but now that he thought about it, he shouldn't have suspected his brother. Maybe Ji Feng didn't even know that Xu Fan was on the show and had just participated by chance.

Jiang Yichuan carefully observed Xu Fan and found that he had become much more handsome, much better looking than the girls he used to pick up at nightclubs. His demeanor was also no longer as timid and hesitant as before. If only he had been more aware of this before, Xu Fan could have gotten his wish and stayed by his side.

And what was the point of his brother going on that show? He was practically tortured to death. It made him want to laugh. They were throwing sheep droppings all over him.

Since Xu Fan dropped out of school, his behavior has been very strange. What caused such a big change in him?

Jiang Yichuan watched the live stream finish with a sullen face; he had seen all the comments on the screen.

Well done, Xu Fan now has his own fans. No wonder he's changed so much. With so many fans liking him, he must be getting arrogant. He thinks Xu Fan has forgotten how he used to follow him around like a dog.

For some reason, he felt a nameless emotion, perhaps a possessive desire, as if something that belonged to him had been taken away.

Not long after the live broadcast ended, the program team released the replay. Jiang Yichuan clicked to watch the morning's live broadcast and found that not only the audience, but even the guests were very enthusiastic towards Xu Fan. It wasn't until his good brother Ji Feng appeared and took the initiative to talk to Xu Fan, emphasizing that he was Xu Fan's senior and asked him to take good care of him. Jiang Yichuan and Ji Feng have been brothers for so many years and know each other very well. How could he not understand his eyes?

Ji Feng's gaze towards Xu Fan clearly carried an aggressive air of determination to win.

Jiang Yichuan was furious. It turned out he hadn't misunderstood Ji Feng; Ji Feng was having an affair with Xu Fan!

Jiang Yichuan, holding back his anger, clicked on the previous live stream and watched it day by day, adjusting the speed to the highest level, from the afternoon until the early hours of the next day.

If it's understandable that viewers like Xu Fan now that he's changed so much, why did people like him even when he was so slovenly at the beginning of the last episode?

She looked almost exactly the same as when she followed him around back then—dusty, cowardly, and ridiculous. How come everyone disliked her back then, but now she's become a hot commodity?

Jiang Yichuan felt a strong sense of loss. The things he didn't want were now being treated like treasures by so many people. Originally, Xu Fan was only nice to him and only tried to please him. Now, not only did he stop trying to please him, but so many guests were vying to be nice to him.

Does a dog who would give up his self-respect to please others deserve it?

……

Fu Qingci felt that Xu Fan's behavior was very strange as soon as he saw Ji Feng, but Ji Feng rarely appeared on camera, and when he did appear, he did not have direct contact with Xu Fan, but Fu Qingci still felt something was wrong.

He can investigate Ji Feng, but he can't investigate Xu Fan. Not everyone can accept others investigating their past without their consent.

Wait a minute.

Fu Qingci stroked Xu Fan's profile picture, her face showing an overflowing tenderness and a hint of barely perceptible struggle.

This was taken by him while Xu Fan was working. Xu Fan was very serious when he was working, so he didn't even try to hide it from him. He just swaggered out and took out his phone without Xu Fan noticing.

When are you coming back, Fanfan? I miss you so much.

……

The fathers and their children had a peaceful night, and the next morning, the production team finally did something for them, letting the guests sleep soundly until nine o'clock.

The guests slept soundly, but the viewers waiting for the live stream to start were getting impatient.

Jiang Yichuan was among them. He watched the show until the early hours of the morning, and then, unwilling to give up, he started to have random thoughts. He was waiting for the live broadcast to start, but the broadcast just wouldn't start. Jiang Yichuan could feel his eyelids drooping, and finally, he couldn't hold on any longer. With resentment towards Xu Fan and Ji Feng, he prepared to take a short nap.

Xu Fan's biological clock woke him up early. He glanced at Fu Chun, who was still fast asleep, and Lin Ke and Lingling, who were also sleeping soundly in the next bed. He tiptoed out of bed and carefully checked the table for any task cards left by the production team.

After searching around without finding it, Xu Fan finished washing up and prepared to change his clothes to go out and look. The clothes he was going to wear today were also chosen for him by Fu Qingci. He had no idea how to coordinate outfits at all; he could just put any top and pants together without knowing whether it looked good or the colors matched. He was afraid people would laugh at him if he wore it out.

Looking back now, he was really silly. How could there be so many tops and pants that happened to be similar in color and looked good together, all on sale at the same time?

Xu Fan stared at the clothes in a daze. After a while, he shook his head to clear his mind. Going out to check things out was the most important thing.

After changing her clothes, Xu Fan went out to take a look and found that the crew members were not outside. The stove and pot from yesterday had also been removed, so they couldn't make breakfast.

Then I'll go back and get some more sleep.

At 9:00 AM, the live stream that viewers had been eagerly anticipating finally started.

"My wives, husbands, and darlings, I'm here!"

"I'll take Fanfan and Chunchun with me, the rest are yours to do as you please."

"Damn it, could you at least give me advance notice? I got up at seven, I was so worried I'd miss it, I'm so sleepy!"

"It's good to let them sleep a little longer. Let's not do a surprise attack today. It hurts my eyes every time I see Ji Yuzhi's underwear."

"No way! I want to see Fanfan all sticky and cuddly after waking up, she's just too cute!"

"If that's what you're saying, then I want to see it. I'd rather sacrifice my eyes to see Ji Yuzhi's underwear."

"Keke, I'm here!"

"Stop taking pictures of the grass, I need to see people!!!"

The camera remained focused on the lush green grassland as staff knocked on doors one by one, informing fathers and children to get ready and gather at a designated spot after lunch to complete their morning's tasks.

Before long, the fathers and children arrived at the meeting point one after another. Ji Yuzhi had slept incredibly well. Although Shengsheng and Chaochao were both boys, Shengsheng slept much more soundly than Chaochao. In addition, the environment was also nice, so he arrived at the meeting point feeling refreshed.

Ji Yuzhi got ready quite quickly in the morning. When he took Sheng Sheng there, he found that someone was there even earlier than him.

It's that idiot Ji Feng! He was so happy when Xu Fan invited him to dinner yesterday, and he hasn't even had a chance to settle the score with Ji Feng yet! What a faithless hypocrite!

The moment he saw Ji Feng, he wanted to make sarcastic remarks.

"Feed... Holy crap!"

Ji Yuzhi was startled when he saw Ji Feng's face.

Ji Feng's gentle mask could no longer hold up. His face was gloomy and haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and his skin was in bad condition. His skin exposed by his T-shirt was covered with red bumps. Standing next to him was a timid and submissive Chao Chao.

Ji Yuzhi feigned concern and walked over to Ji Feng, patting him on the shoulder: "You didn't sleep all night? I'm telling you, we men can't be so delicate. Your family isn't exactly poor, can't you even handle this?"

Ji Feng glanced at Ji Yuzhi, seeing his radiant appearance, and felt even more frustrated: "If you're so capable, why don't you switch places with me?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuzhi glared at him: "Look at what you're saying! My place last term was much worse than yours, but I still stayed there!"

Ji Feng looked away, not wanting to communicate with him.

But the word "delicate" that Ji Yuzhi mentioned kept swirling in his mind.

Patience, patience, patience.

Ji Feng kept repeating these two words to himself, and after a while he finally calmed down.

"Ji Feng's image isn't good. He looked quite handsome yesterday."

"I know men have a short blooming period, but it can't be this short, can it? It withers in just one day."

"I love watching Ji Yuzhi mock others, hahaha. Without Ji Yuzhi, who else can make me laugh?"

A while later, Lin Ke and Xu Fan arrived with two little girls.

Good morning, Xu Fan!

When Ji Yuzhi saw Xu Fan arrive, he greeted him excitedly. If he had a tail, he would probably be wagging it now.

Good morning to you too.

Xu Fan replied to me! He never used to reply to me!

Realizing this, Ji Yuzhi chuckled sheepishly, making Lin Ke's lips twitch. "That's all the ambition I have."

Ji Feng glanced at Xu Fan and quickly looked away.

Not long after, Pei Yin arrived with Jiajia. He was a little slow because he wasn't very good at braiding Jiajia's hair.

Once everyone had arrived, the production crew brought out the table and breakfast. The guests were all surprised that today's breakfast wasn't something to fight over, nor was it distributed according to any ranking.

Soon, oily beef and mutton buns, beef jerky fried rice, milk tea, and various dairy products were served on the table, looking very appetizing.

"It looks delicious!"

"Especially that steamed bun."

"Looks like I'll have to go to the grasslands in a few days."

After Dad and the kids sat down and finished eating, Lao Hu came to announce today's tasks.

"Today, our dads and kids will have an archery competition, and then we'll score them. We'll add up the scores of all the dads and kids to calculate the rankings, and then distribute lunch according to the rankings! Dads, don't worry, we're using custom-made bows and arrows for the kids, so they won't get hurt."

Upon hearing that it was related to archery, Ji Feng smiled confidently. Finally, there was something he was good at.

Chaochao didn't know whether Ji Feng was good at it or not; he only heard that it was related to food, and he regretted not eating more at the table earlier.

Ji Yuzhi had some experience with archery, but Pei Yin and Xu Fan had never tried it before, which made them somewhat worried.

Lin Ke: Can I throw darts? It's all about hitting targets, so it should be about the same, right...?
