"Big brother's skills are truly impressive. They fit so perfectly, their relationship must be extraordinary."
"Oh my, how romantic, he even made a flower crown."
"I can't wait for tonight. Alone together, even if there's no affection now, it's bound to develop."
The netizens even spontaneously gave them a couple name.
Grass Skirt Couple.
"Just based on their looks, I'm a fan. I hope they make it to the end. Anyone want to join me?"
Zhou Jinbei was also watching with the children in front of the computer.
Seeing their daddy and mommy chatting and laughing, having so much fun, they were quite envious.
"This is no different from our summer camp, it looks really fun. I want to go too."
"Last year, daddy let us go to summer camp, but he didn't sign us up this year. But I don't want to go, because if I go, I won't be able to watch daddy and mommy's show."
"I want to be the biggest fan of daddy and mommy, and wish them to reach the end! Let me send a barrage of comments!"
"Don't talk, let me see what they're going to eat next."
There were plenty of wild fruits in the forest, and a lake nearby meant no shortage of water. On the first day, they didn't need to rush to find food.
Zhan Beijue decided to solve the accommodation issue first.
After changing clothes, he went to the lake, found a large stone, smashed it, and picked out the two sharpest pieces. He then used some plant vines to tie them to tree branches as thick as his wrist, creating two simple axes.
Then he took Jiang Nan Fang to chop trees.
The forest was complex. Sleeping on the ground at night could expose them to reptiles or large beasts.
Or they might encounter heavy rain and floods, and without drainage facilities, they could get soaked and washed away at any moment.
Therefore, the house had to be built in mid-air.
He found a clearing in a spacious area suitable for building a house and drew four dots on the ground.
He planned to install four pillars at these four points to fix the basic structure of the house.
He chopped thick logs, and Jiang Nan Fang chopped thinner ones.
Without mature modern tools, they worked tirelessly for half a day, with Jiang Nan Fang's hands developing blisters, before they managed to bring back four tree trunks.
Jiang Nan Fang was worried.
"If it goes on like this, we definitely won't finish the house tonight. Chopping wood is wasting too much time. Let me hand it all over to you, and I'll weave vines. We'll divide the work."
"Your hands are already bleeding. Forget it, go rest. If we can't finish it, we can't. We'll just sit leaning against each other for the night, it's fine."
Jiang Nan Fang was unconvinced.
"How can that be? I'm here to participate in the show, not to be a princess. If others can do it, so can I."
"Stop talking nonsense and get to work."
The lighter tasks were much more manageable for Jiang Nan Fang.
When Zhan Beijue carried back several thin logs, she had already woven the necessary vines into thin, long strands, and had several ready.
Zhan Beijue found it rather amusing to see her with her hair tied up, sitting on the grass under the shade of a tree, working diligently.
He couldn't help but walk over and nuzzle her cheek from the side.
Jiang Nan Fang turned and met his gaze.
They both smiled.
Although they didn't speak, and didn't dare to kiss in front of the cameras, the feeling of contentment and security from having each other present filled the entire screen.
As the sun began to set, Zhan Beijue decided to stop chopping and asked Jiang Nan Fang to help him bury the four pillars.
Then they started working on the basic framework of the house.
Both of them were engineers, so they had a good understanding of spatial design and utilization.
Thus, by working diligently, just as it was getting dark, they managed to lay the base of the elevated bed.
Together, they gathered thick leaves and spread them on top as a mattress. The recording time for the day had ended.
Jiang Nan Fang waved goodbye to the camera with a radiant smile.
"We're going to sleep now. That's all for today. See you tomorrow. Goodnight."
The audience in front of the screens were very reluctant.
"Ah? We were just at a crucial moment, why is it ending so suddenly?"
"Do we need to upgrade to a membership to watch the later content? Turn on the payment function, I'm willing to pay for membership!"
"I'm already looking forward to tomorrow, I really want to see what happens. I haven't been this invested in a show in a long time."
"How about a 24-hour live broadcast? I can sacrifice some sleep."
"Tell me, will sleeping like that be uncomfortable? Will it affect big brother's performance tonight?"
"The show is for a full 100 days. Maybe by the end of the show, they'll have a baby too?"
In short, at the beginning of the show, both the recording and all progress were going very smoothly.
The only thing that caused unease was that no one had informed them about the other contestants.
They didn't know the current number of participants or eliminations, which made them feel a little anxious.
By the tenth day of the show's broadcast, the Grass Skirt Couple had built a luxurious aerial mansion and had acquired a few fish and two wild rabbits as reserve food.
They had garnered immense popularity online, becoming internet sensations who were responsible for a significant portion of the viewership.
This was something Ke Jingyu hadn't anticipated.
He had assumed that Jiang Nan Fang, in order to make Zhan Beijue leave the show sooner, might slack off or even sabotage the efforts.
To expedite the recording and finish it quickly.
This way, she wouldn't be in breach of contract and wouldn't have to ask for anything...
Unexpectedly, the two of them were actually enjoying themselves.
A mere five million yuan. He didn't expect the current Zhan Beijue would debase himself for such petty gain.
The assistant also found it hard to accept. Their popularity was too high, which completely contradicted the show's original intention.
"Should we try to stir up some trouble for them?"
"This is just the beginning. If they don't put in much effort, they won't feel much pain from failure."
"Do you know when true breakdown moments occur?"
The assistant understood.
The moment that truly breaks a person is when the championship is just a step away, yet slips through their fingers.
It's no wonder President Ke is President Ke.
This approach not only maximized the show's effect, gaining significant attention and viewership in the early stages, but also prevented them from achieving their ultimate goal.
Truly impressive.
However, Jiang Nan Fang had already guessed Ke Jingyu's intentions.
Before coming to the show.
She had already anticipated it.
If you had the power to control your enemy's fate, how would you choose to act?
A normal person would likely have two approaches.
One: Use power to retaliate in every possible way, suppress, and humiliate the enemy, making them suffer immensely.
Physically retaliate against them.
Two: Identify their life's ambition, their ultimate goal. When they are on the verge of achieving it, deliver a fatal blow.
Spiritually retaliate against them.
They had been here for ten days, and every day had been relaxed and uneventful, lacking any challenge.
Ke Jingyu's delay in making a move wasn't due to his noble character, but because he had chosen the second path.
Jiang Nan Fang wouldn't let him succeed.
Her true purpose for coming here wasn't to help Zhan Beijue win the championship.
It was to control the pace and leave with him openly at any time.
They had already played for ten days, which was enough. Withdrawing from the show now wouldn't be shameful.
She didn't crave the mere five million yuan. It was time to prepare.
