Jiang Nan Fang gently patted Zhan Bei Jue, urging him to sleep after a night with almost no rest and a full day of running around.
If he continued to stay up, his body would collapse.
It was strange, no matter how poor his sleep quality was usually, as soon as Zhan Bei Jue lay next to Jiang Nan Fang, he always fell asleep quickly and soundly.
Knowing he was a light sleeper, even the slightest movement could wake him.
After he fell asleep, Jiang Nan Fang did not leave. She took her phone and sent a WeChat message to Zhou Jin Bei.
Who would have thought they were so in sync?
While she was typing, before she could even send a message, Zhou Jin Bei called her with a video call.
Fearing she might wake Zhan Bei Jue, Jiang Nan Fang quickly hung up.
Zhou Jin Bei then began a barrage of text messages.
"What's going on? Why aren't you answering my video call? Where are you? Are you up to something behind my back?"
"You didn't reply last night, and you're not replying today. What's happening between you and my second brother?"
"You don't even report on the battle in a timely manner. Do you really think of me as a nanny for the kids? Unreliable!"
Jiang Nan Fang imagined Zhou Jin Bei, who had just managed to get the children to sleep, now alone, bored, and full of complaints.
She couldn't help but smile, and under the dim bedside lamp, she took a photo of the sleeping Zhan Bei Jue and sent it to her.
On the other end of the phone, Zhou Jin Bei zoomed in on the photo, looked at it again and again, and almost let out a scream.
With trembling hands, she typed to Jiang Nan Fang.
"Is this my second brother? Is it really my second brother? Holy cow, why does he look like a middle-aged uncle with so much beard now? But he's still very handsome!"
"Don't you think he looks like a European with that beard? He looks so much like Brad Pitt, my God, and you're sleeping next to him right now!"
"To have such a peerless man in your arms, and to have given him four such charming children, I'm so jealous just thinking about it!"
"Sister-in-law, what good fortune did you have in your past life? Can you teach me too? I also want to have such good fortune!"
"And you, sister-in-law, are too bold. You dare to send out a picture of your husband while he's sleeping! I've known my second brother for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen his skin below his neck!"
"He looks so good. My God, I'm so proud! It's amazing that such an excellent man is my brother, I'm so proud!"
She typed one message after another, bombarding Jiang Nan Fang with praise.
Jiang Nan Fang, nestled next to her beloved, was already too happy to sleep.
With Zhou Jin Bei's flattering words, she felt even more elated and couldn't find her way.
"It's no help. Who told me I'm pretty? A talented person matches a beautiful woman. Others can't be jealous."
Zhou Jin Bei sent her a jealous emoji, and Jiang Nan Fang got back to business.
"Enough joking. I have something serious to tell you."
Zhou Jin Bei said, "I was just asking how your children were. They're fine. Didn't I send you photos?"
"They're having a blast. Those four ungrateful little ones, as long as they have food and fun, they don't really care if their parents are around."
"And Rui Rui made a girlfriend at the amusement park today. The girl insisted on coming back with us, and I only managed to leave after promising to bring them again tomorrow."
"Sigh. Even a six-year-old child has a more romantic life than me. I'm such a failure as a person..."
Jiang Nan Fang imagined the scene she described and felt a wave of warmth surge through her heart again.
After warming herself, she comforted Zhou Jin Bei.
"You're just waiting for the right person, not that you don't have any admirers. This attitude is correct."
"Only pure people can encounter pure love. Don't worry. Everything is destined. Just wait slowly."
Drinking spiritual chicken soup for someone late at night?
It was fine. Being comforted by her, Zhou Jin Bei felt a little better.
After chatting for a while longer, Jiang Nan Fang officially got to the point.
She wanted Lu Ming Zhe to step in and help Zhan Bei Jue solve some problems in Switzerland, and also mentioned that Zhan Bei Jue couldn't back out of the reality show in Shang Cheng.
"You're going to participate in the show with my second brother?"
Zhou Jin Bei was very surprised.
"That kind of wild survival show, they either go to some primitive forest or to the Antarctic or Arctic."
"They have to rely on their own hands for everything they eat, drink, and wear. Going hungry and eating raw animals is a daily occurrence. Are you going to accompany my second brother or go to your death?"
Jiang Nan Fang didn't want to explain further.
"Anyway, I don't want to be separated from him. If I can't stand it, I'll be eliminated."
"Alright. My second brother is also too much. Does he think he's made of iron? He actually signed so many contracts."
"I'll tell Lu Ming Zhe later and ask him to make a trip to try and buy out all his collaborations."
Jiang Nan Fang emphasized.
"Not try, but must. Tell Lu Ming Zhe that from now on, Zhan Bei Jue's life is in his hands."
The two chatted for over an hour.
After closing WeChat, Jiang Nan Fang registered on the show's official website.
She put down her phone and went to sleep.
Unexpectedly, the moment she opened her eyes the next morning, she saw the preliminary notification from the program team.
All personnel had been screened, and the program would begin in two days in a live broadcast format.
Each person would be equipped with two cameramen, and everyone would go to the television station tomorrow afternoon at two o'clock for pre-show preparations.
At the same time, Zhan Bei Jue also received the same message.
After exchanging a look, Zhan Bei Jue couldn't help but complain to her.
"The harsher the conditions, the better the footage. I went to the Amazon jungle last time, and this time it's probably even more extreme."
"With your delicate nature, you can't even stand the sun for two minutes. Are you going there to be cannon fodder?"
"Also, there are many insects and wild beasts in the jungle. Without some basic identification knowledge, you might not be able to get out safely. It's not too late to regret it now."
Jiang Nan Fang was actually a little nervous at first.
But hearing his words, she thought, "Just because you look down on me, I absolutely have to go!"
"Cannon fodder it is. Just think I want to be famous and make a presence."
"The registration is done, so it's settled. Don't say any more about me."
Zhan Bei Jue thought she would be eliminated quickly, perhaps "die" and go home within two episodes, so he wasn't too worried.
After they washed up, they sat on the sofa and looked at each other.
Another day of nothing to do. What were they planning for today?
"How about we go see the children? Aren't you curious about what your four children are like?"
Zhan Bei Jue touched his beard.
His appearance was drastically different from before, and he wasn't familiar with the children now. Would his sudden appearance disappoint them?
"I think with your emotional intelligence, that won't happen."
Jiang Nan Fang encouraged him.
"I had high emotional intelligence before. Was I very popular with them?"
"You must have been. In their eyes, your abilities, looks, personality, everything, was the universe's best."
"Then let's go. What are we waiting for?"
The two happily decided on their plan and went downstairs to eat breakfast.
Jiang Nan Fang sent a message to Zhou Jin Bei, asking her to bring the children out.
Zhou Jin Bei was even more excited than Jiang Nan Fang about meeting her second brother again after a long time.
