"How do we enter the manor?" Liu Yinyin continued to ask obediently, raising her hand.
Xing Yuan's mouth twitched. She had said that apart from some specific segments, they could improvise the rest, but was her improvisation going a bit too far?
She didn't have clothes suitable for this kind of work!
Xing Yuan was overthinking. The production team wasn't that outrageous.
"It's like this," the director said with a smile, "On our island, there's an apple manor. It's almost apple-ripening season, and we hope our guests can help the farmers pick apples."
[The director's smile is so sinister!]
[Pitying my brothers and sisters... Hahaha, I'm pretending.]
[Watching the show while eating apples...]
The group changed into the clothes provided by the production team and stepped into the vast manor. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Um, how do we pick them?" Ji Wenyue looked at the rows of trees filling the manor, and her head began to ache.
The director stepped forward and earnestly instructed, "You must handle the fruit gently. When picking, hold the fruit lightly with your hand, press the index finger on the stem, and then lift upwards, so that the stem separates from the branch at the abscission layer, and gently remove the fruit."
"Then, place them into the baskets that our production team has prepared. We've already informed the manor owner, and the apples we pick can be taken home by yourselves."
"Each guest must pick a full basket of apples. Guests in the same group can help each other. If two people have both completed their task, they can then accept help from other groups."
"For safety reasons, everyone should pick the apples from the lower branches. We won't be using ladders."
The director observed the guests' backgrounds and didn't dare to make any further excessive demands. If anyone were to get hurt, he would be in serious trouble. He couldn't bear such a heavy consequence.
There was no difficulty, as long as they were diligent enough.
The guests could even chat casually while picking apples, of course, only about innocuous topics. Sometimes, they would even interact with the viewers in the live stream.
[Too easy! (•̀へ•́╮)]
[The director is too much! The requirements for these guests are too low!]
[Director, show the style of your previous dramas and torture them!]
[Alas, it can't be helped. The guests here are all from wealthy families and don't care about this little money. Everyone, don't blame the director! What can the director do?]
However, the guests on this variety show could all be described as pampered. Although they exercised regularly, actually picking apples in the field was a first for them.
Among them, Xing Yuan, with her excellent physical condition, instantly stood out.
She moved nimbly among the trees. Ji Wenyue had just picked half a basket when Xing Yuan eagerly snatched Ji Wenyue's basket and began to fill it diligently.
[Xing Zong is the biggest source of amusement on this show.]
[Looking at her eager demeanor, it's hard to believe she's actually a very domineering CEO.]
[I support the above comment, because I also find it hard to believe.]
[Don't spread rumors. If our CEO sees this comment, you're finished. Our CEO holds grudges.]
[Take it back.]
[Hahaha! I've screenshotted it. After the show ends, I'll post it on your company's official website and let you personally experience how much your Xing Zong holds a grudge.]
[The person above, please be merciful. I have elders to support and children to raise. I can't lose this job!]
The bullet comments were filled with laughter. By the time Xing Yuan finished her task, the other two groups had only completed half of it, meaning they had only filled one basket.
Xing Yuan wiped herself on a broken wooden stool, placed something on it, beckoned Ji Wenyue over, and then plopped down.
"So tired!" Xing Yuan complained, rubbing her arm.
She looked around, and as if no one was watching, she leaned against Ji Wenyue somewhat娇气ly.
She extended her hand towards Ji Wenyue and said in a soft, coaxing voice, "Sister~ I'm tired, help me rub it."
"Why were you in such a hurry?" Ji Wenyue couldn't help but chide Xing Yuan, but seeing her teary eyes, she gently began to massage Xing Yuan.
She softly advised, "Don't be in such a hurry next time. It's just a show, why push yourself so hard?"
"It's not just a show!" Xing Yuan said softly.
"What?" Ji Wenyue lowered her head in confusion, her movements pausing.
"It's just, don't you think it feels good to finish the work early and watch them work hard from here?" Xing Yuan said earnestly.
Ji Wenyue looked into the distance, where a few people were diligently picking apples. She nodded sincerely, then immediately felt that her thought was incorrect and shook her head.
"Since when did A Yuan develop such a strange hobby?" she changed the subject.
"I developed it because I wanted to," Xing Yuan replied with a grin.
"Okay~" Ji Wenyue smiled gently and continued to knead Xing Yuan's arm.
The two sat there, exuding an aura of peaceful tranquility.
The bullet comments scrolled wildly.
[The two of them have such a wifely vibe! Envious.]
[Xing Zong is so diligent just to get Teacher Ji to rub her arm! But Teacher Ji spoils her too much.]
[They've finished, can't they help others?]
[Exactly, my brother and sister are still tired. If they cooperate, the task can be completed faster.]
[Are the two above fools? They all have the same task. If they finished, it proves they are diligent. What obligation do they have to help others!]
[Besides, when they were chatting happily earlier, our Xing Zong was working very hard!]
[To be honest, don't hit me, but I'm actually happy to see others working!]
[+1 The person above speaks my mind.]
[+10086]
[I'm relieved to see everyone is a pervert.]
Liu Yinyin, Han Hang, and the others didn't ask the two for help. They knew perfectly well that there was no reason for others to help them without cause.
Besides, the task wasn't heavy; it would just take a little more time. However, looking at the two leisurely sitting there and flirting, why did they feel a slight pang of sourness in their hearts?
It must be an illusion.
After about two hours, everyone completed their task and returned to the villa by car.
"Director, what do we do with these apples?" Lin Xin asked softly.
There was a hint of annoyance in her eyes. After picking apples for only a short time, her hands had begun to turn red as if she had an allergic reaction.
Of course, she knew she wasn't allergic; it was just that she hadn't done such manual labor for a long time.
The director explained, "Well, that's the second task for today."
"Please, guests, try your best to make various foods using apples."
