The special guest is Yan Han, so even if they did nothing in this episode, the ratings are designated to explode.
Qin Lang narrowed his eyes, he didn’t want to let himself stare at Yan Han directly, like the stars all surrounded the bright moon1To view somebody as their core figure; to revolve around someone. He pursed his lips. In order to not make himself stand out, he moved to the side of the crowd.
Yan Han smiled and shook hands with the team leader of their group, also thanked the group for their welcome. Finally, his eyes locked on Qin Lang, and with a tone as gentle as he can be: “Are you hurt?”
Qin Lang’s heart was beating wildly again. After calming it down, he could barely keep calm when he met those eyes, he smiled: “It’s alright, thank you.”
Yan Han originally knew Qin Lang. Last time Qin Lang was injured, he went to visit him. At this moment when Yan Han asks, everyone doesn’t think anything.
After those few people greeted each other, they started to assign four teams. Since most want to be with Yan Han, the director asked everyone to play a small game – table tennis. In a short distance, just hit the ping pong ball into the designated position on the smooth surface.
Qin Lang looked at his teammates who were eager to try, then Yan Han, who looked at him smiling, intentionally or unintentionally. He frowned. When it’s his turn, Qin Lang didn’t hit it, which drew countless jeering from his teammates.
The best scorer is Bai Quan, who scored eight in total. Just when everyone felt that he was the winner because of his extraordinary talent, and they are losing Yan Han, this thigh2coattail, so they were all disappointed, the director said, “Then, congratulations to Qin Lang and Yan Han for becoming teammates.”
!!! Qin Lang looked at the director shocked, he couldn’t respond for a while. I have already lost, how could…
“Ah?!” AShuang and several members looked annoyed, “I knew it! You don’t play cards according to the norms!”
The innocent director: “I didn’t say that whoever earns the most points will become Yan Han’s partner. It’s you guys that misunderstood! Two people with the same number of points are a team. As for Bai Quan, who had the highest score just now, he can choose the remaining five members at will.”
Everyone: “…” they were caught off guard.
The eight people quickly separated into pairs. The next step is to assign tasks to each pair. The four groups randomly draw the task cards.
“Going harvest, ba.” It wasn’t known when Yan Han arrived behind Qin Lang. His autumn clothes are neither thin nor thick, his body didn’t touch Qin Lang, but his clothes sometimes touch Qin Lang somewhat ambiguously.
Qin Lang was a little scared but he dared not look back to see Yan Han. He knew that the two were very close, if he looked back, he may have touched some places he shouldn’t touch — no, Yan Han’s entire body is a restricted area for him.
So, Qin Lang decided to take a step forward when he heard the voice, changing his stiffness into casualty as he drew the task cards.
“Help the villagers to harvest corn, one mu of land…” Qin Lang opened the task card and read it to his teammate. Obviously his voice was not loud but he was sure that the other party could hear it.
And yet, the man still put his head on his shoulder from behind, looked down at the task card, and said in his sexy voice, almost like a whisper, to his ear: “Hm…with just the two of us, maybe it won’t be done by today..”
“…” Qin Lang was so nervous that his breathing was stagnant. His fingers holding the task card couldn’t help but clench tightly. Fortunately, the other party took a look then pulled away and looked at the other teams.
Only then did Qin Lang have time to take in some air and take the task card to see what tasks the others have.
The system tuts: “All right, already start teasing.”
Qin Lang: “…Tong, if you want to watch the drama then just watch the drama, don’t make a sudden sound, I might skip over some lines. Also, I know that you’re expecting the second and third steps but just wait quietly, okay?”
The system lifted a stool: “Fuck! I am just following the progress of the task!”
Qin Lang smiled and ignored the daily exploding of the system.
“Um…cook…” AShuang tossed his task card, calling the other team for help. “The two of us can’t cook. Director, can I swap with another team?”
Director: “Sure.”
“Then who can cook? Brother Yu? Baobao?” AShuang first turned his attention to the two girls. However, the other party’s expression disappointed him. He howled. “No way, none of us can cook? We’re finished. Today, I have to taste old Wu dark cuisine once again!”
Qin Lang looked around, it seems that no one really seems to know how to cook, “I can cook but our task may be a little difficult. Is swapping really okay?”
AShuang glanced at the card in Qin Lang’s hand and readily exchanged it. After swapping, he gloated and said: “Ha ha ha ha, Qin Lang, with great power comes great responsibility. Look after yourself, bro!”
Qin Lang looked down at the task card for unknown reasons, then he saw a long list of small tasks densely written on it. Go to XX and do XX things to get a bag of white rice, go to XX and complete XX things to get a pound of flour…They must complete the task to get the desired dishes. Compared to the straightforward one he had that was just harvesting corn, this one was dizzying by just looking at it.
Qin Lang was stunned.
The others came over and glanced at the task card, another wave of ruthless jeering.
Then came Yan Han, he glanced at it, then sneered: “Hehe, since it can’t be done, that means you won’t get to eat lunch too, right?”
Everyone’s faces show WTF. It makes sense, so what are they laughing at? They should obviously cry!!!
Director: “Yan Han is right. If they didn’t make lunch and didn’t tell you to eat, you can’t come back. The tasks in your hand must be completed in the afternoon before dinner. So, now you better hurry up and do it.”
Then the rushing sound of running was heard, the small courtyard that was still lively suddenly quieted down.
In front of the camera, only Qin Lang and Yan Han were left. Qin Lang’s uneasiness easily manifested, so to cover it up, Qin Lang frowned and looked at the card that was densely packed with small tasks, pretending to seriously consider which one to do first.
There was a series of footsteps beside him that was getting further away, after a while, the footsteps came back again. It stopped behind Qin Lang.
“How was it? After looking for so long, have you figured out which one to do first?” Yan Han asked.
“It’s too much…” Qin Lang frowned helplessly. Suddenly a hand came into his field of vision and took away the card he used to cover up, then a small transparent disposable bowl was stuffed into his hand. The bowl contains peeled grapes and a small bamboo stick.
Yan Han just went to peel grapes for him? Qin Lang thought blankly.
“Let’s go. Eat as you think.”
Yan Han held Qin Lang, who was still in a daze, and took two steps forward.
Qin Lang stiffen. After stepping out of the courtyard gate, he struggled a little. Yan Han released him after realizing it. Naturally, there is no flaw in his actions.
The two walked silently. They didn’t know where to go or what to do. They were silent until the cameraman couldn’t help reminding them that this was a reality show so they needed to communicate. Otherwise, the scene that the audience will see will be very boring.
After hearing this, Qin Lang stopped and said to Yan Han, “After walking for so long, I think there is a serious problem we didn’t consider.”
Yan Han looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
“We, we don’t seem to know the way…so, where is Aunt Wang, who we can get white rice from, home?” Qin Lang looked around, a little distressed. “I didn’t see any villagers.”
Yan Han thought for a bit before saying: “Remember the way we came? There is a small river beside the village. Let’s go and see if there are any fish?”
Qin Lang turned and walked back, while saying: “I’ve always had bad luck, I don’t think there are any fish.”
Yan Han smiled: “I’ve always had good luck, I’ll take a look in a while. You can stand on the side.”
“It’s not like playing in the dungeon and just touching the BOSS’s body, the hands of those popular ones may not work in reality…”
“Not always…” Qin Lang was talking to Yan Han. When the two came to the riverside, Qin Lang stood away obediently. He looked at the man in the uniform standing by the river from a distance. The man’s brow was soft at the moment, it’s very different from the five years of indifference.
During those five years, they didn’t even have a conversation that was as easy going and fun as just now. For a while, Qin Lang was also not very clear. In the end, is he just faking or is the five years of memories he had is fake.
“Qin Lang?” Yan Han called again.
Qin Lang came back to his senses. He answered and asked him if there were any fish, Yan Han nodded to him and told him to go to one of the villagers’ homes to borrow some fishing tools.
When Qin Lang came back with the bamboo basket, Yan Han stepped into the river with his bare feet and bent over to soak his hands in the water. From a distance, it looks like he was grabbing a crab.
Qin Lang took a closer look, only to find out that Yan Han had made a simple fishing trap, then he handed the things over. Yan Han tried the angle and position of placing the bamboo basket, after two or three times, the bamboo basket was fixed then he came out of the river.
“Why don’t you ask me why I know how to make this trap?” Yan Han sits on the grass and puts his shoes on. His gazes were set on the back of Qin Lang’s head, who was squatting beside him to watch his trap.
“I know you could…” Qin Lang’s words follow the autumn wind, floating gently into Yan Han’s ears.
Yan Han’s movement paused, then he curved the corners of his mouth, “Is it ‘Isolated Island’ from last year?”
“Mm.” Qin Lang suddenly turned to look at him, his eyes landing on his leg, then he frowned slightly and looked away. He pursed his lips, in the end, nothing was said.
Yan Han understands. Last year’s ‘Isolated Island’ was a survival documentary, the shooting was very realistic. Yan Han played as a Air Force soldier, while patrolling the sea, he encountered a storm and was forced to land on an isolated island to survive.
He learned a lot of survival skills during filming, including fishing traps. What he did just now is the one from the film.
There are also his legs. At the end of the film, there is a scene where he rolls down a rocky hillside. At the time of shooting, he injured his knee. During his time in the hospital, Qin Lang came to take care of him. The doctor also instructed him to avoid cold water on his legs in the future, otherwise, there will be sequelae similar to rheumatism.
Qin Lang got up, the worry and distress just now all melted away, he smiled and said: “I just saw that there were stone snails on the stones in the river. I feel like there’s a lot, maybe we can pick some up? I’ll go look downstream…”
He said and started to take off his shoes, getting ready to go into the water to take a closer look.
Yan Han was also ready to take off his shoes that he had just put on but was stopped by Qin Lang, “I’ll take a look. You don’t have to go into the water.”
Yan Han did not continue, just looked at him softly, then got up and walked toward his direction and whispered: “Qin Lang, my legs are healed, you don’t need to worry.”
He spoke quietly so only the two of them could hear.
A look of annoyance flashed between Qin Lang’s brows. Before going into the water, he whispered back to him: “I’m not worried.”
Yan Han smiled at him, as if to say ‘no need to explain, I know it all.’
Qin Lang turned his back to him. He didn’t want to see Yan Han’s face, he was a little angry toward himself and Yan Han. To himself because he was really worried, and to Yan Han because he didn’t understand why he was being like this today. Obviously, he has told himself many times before not to take him seriously but when the man stands before him, looking at him with such gentle eyes, he couldn’t help but try to get closer.
Even if he knew, there is a high chance of being hurt again.
The stones under his foot are covered with moss, a little slippery. The water was not deep, the flowing water made Qin Lang unable to see if there were any snails on the stones at the bottom of the water. If he just feels it with his hands, it’s too time consuming. He tried for a bit then decided to go ashore.
Yan Han was still waiting for him on the shore, still looking at him gently.
Qin Lang’s feet slipped just as he was about to go ashore, making him fall back into the river.
The cameraman was going crazy. Is this Qin Lang luck so bad? Another accident in the second episode?
But fortunately, Qin Lang, who had bad luck, is partnering with Yan Han, who was full of good luck, today.
Yan Han was close so he took a step into the water, his powerful arms grabbed Qin Lang’s waist and steadily pulled Qin Lang into his arms.
The two are close to each other, Qin Lang could feel the violent ups and downs of the other’s chest, which seem much more honest than the unchanging expression on the man’s face. ‘Thump-thump’, it was even louder than his own heartbeat.
This sound makes his mind on the verge of crashing and he can’t do anything about it. He will just have to wait for his heart to calm down.
During this time, the man he was leaning on tightened the hands around his waist without changing expression and whispered: “Fortunately this time you aren’t hurt again.”
