Sister Liu had been recording the show for more than a month. During that time, what she eats most was all kinds of insects. Insects have high nutritional value and were rich in protein, which could provide what the body needs.

It had been a long time since she had eaten normal food.

After all, the rainforest was full of nothing but poisonous insects and snakes.

Seeing the self-heating hot pot in Ning Xiaoyu’s hands, it was impossible to say that she didn’t feel a craving.

Not only her, but other guests who saw the live stream couldn’t help revealing expressions of either surprise, envy, or resentment.

The one with the resentful expression was naturally Ning Yuwei. She still hadn’t eaten the roasted insects and only had some compressed biscuits.

Seeing that Ning Xiaoyu was able to eat self-heating hot pot in the virgin rainforest, it was impossible to say that Ning Yuwei wasn’t envious at all.

But in addition to envy, she also had a bit of jealousy and resentment. Why do good things always come to Ning Xiaoyu?

Sister Liu stood up and said bluntly, “I’m going to look for them. Are you coming?”

Brother Wang, a regular guest of the 《Extreme Survival》 show, immediately asked, “Are you going to ask for food?”

Sister Liu chuckled. “Of course it’s good if I can ask for some, but it’s also fine if I can’t.”

Brother Wang observed through the live stream and found that he wasn’t familiar with the primitive tribe that’s been living in this rainforest for generations. Generally speaking, the average lifespan of these people was extremely short and they still retained outdated survival skills.

He didn’t know where those self-heating hot pots came from, but regardless how it came about or whether it had anything to do with primitive people or not, it didn’t affect his mentality of not having any dealings with them.

Brother Wang waved his hand. “Go on then. I wish you good luck.”

Sister Liu nodded and turned around to leave without hesitation.

Xu Cheng opened his mouth, but seeing that Ning Yuwei didn’t say anything, he ended up not calling out to Sister Liu.

Although in his heart, he really wanted to go grab something to eat with Sister Liu.

Xu Cheng let out a long sigh. Forget it, just catch insects to eat. If they’re lucky, they could catch a few bullfrogs. That would be great.

———

Ning Xiaoyu wasn’t a fast eater, plus the bowl of self-heating hot pot in her hand has a deliciously spicy taste.

She couldn’t eat anything too spicy, so she ate even more slowly.

Lu Jingdu could eat spicy food. However, the one in his hand was also spicy, so he couldn’t exchange it with Ning Xiaoyu’s.

Shen Yueyue sat down and ate happily. As a female celebrity, she usually needs to manage her body. She was either eating fresh or dehydrated vegetables. In short, it has been a long time since she had a hearty hot pot meal.

This visit to the rainforest was difficult, of course she had to reward herself.

Ning Xiaoyu ate slowly, and by time the other two had finished eating, there were still some vegetables left in her bowl.

At this time, the extremely fast-footed Sister Liu was already close at hand.

Seeing that Ning Xiaoyu was about to put down the fork, appearing like she didn’t intend to eat any more, Sister Lui hurriedly spoke out, “Sister, please let me have the rest, thank you.”

Ning Xiaoyu was momentarily stunned.

Sister Liu introduced herself loudly while walking as fast as she could, “You should have seen me before, right? I’m Liu Xu, a regular guest of 《Extreme Survival》. I haven’t eaten normal food for a long time. Sister, can you give me a bite to eat?”

Anyone who tried losing weight would be able to understand Sister Liu’s eagerness at this moment.

Not eating normal food for three days was fine.

Not having them for a week, one would occasionally miss all kinds of foods, but it was still fine.

After half a month, one would start craving.

A whole month and one really wouldn’t be able to take it anymore.

Liu Xu had been in this variety show for more than a month.

It looks like Ning Xiaoyu really didn’t intent to eat the food in her hands anymore. Liu Xu could already feel the spiciness that even her whole body started to get fired up.

But……

“This is what’s left of my food.”

Sister Liu hurriedly said, “It’s fine.”

In the past month or so, she had eaten everything she could and couldn’t. What was the leftover food of Ning Xiaoyu?

It’s no problem at all!

Ning Xiaoyu nodded. Since the other person didn’t mind, then she didn’t care either.

After she handed the bowl in her hand to Sister Liu, she saw Sister Liu bowed her head eagerly to eat.

After taking a sip of the soup, she sighed with satisfaction. “Ah, some rice would be nice at this time.”

【Look at this show, what has it done to people?】

【It’s normal for Sister Liu to be like this.】

【The only one who can eat hot pot in the rainforest survival is probably only our Xiao Yu. As for the other two, it can only be said to be incidental.】

【I feel sorry for the movie king for a second. He always stands in the C^[1]center position when attending events and so on, but when he got there, he became ‘incidental’.】

【Hahahaha, did you guys see the faces of the guests in the live stream next door? They’re sour, sour.】

That’s right, Brother Wang and the others were all sour.

Besides Liu Xu, they were the ones who hadn’t eaten normal food for more than a month.

Seeing their former buddy get a mouthful of hot pot soup by relying on her social prowess, their mouths involuntarily secreted saliva.

Li Di, the youngest in the show, couldn’t help but smile bitterly and said, “This is too much torture.”

If everyone couldn’t eat good food, then it didn’t matter. They could console themselves by saying that everyone was the same.

But now, this group of people actually ate hot pot?

How could they bear it?

Even the two directors who decided on the dream collaboration in the first place didn’t expect reality to develop like this.

The collaboration between the two shows was mainly to allow the guests of 《Hi, My Friend》 to survive in the wilderness, allowing them to test whether the friend they teamed up with could get along or not with them in a difficult living environment.

Many said that human nature couldn’t withstand the test, so the program team had to do something to test human nature in front of many viewers.

Now the results were out early.

Ning Xiaoyu, this friend, was really capable. She took care of everything and others just need to hug her thigh tightly.

Brother Wang looked aggrieved. “Director, take a look at us.”

Li Di followed suit. “Director, can you take pity on us?”

The director said ruthlessly, “Others can do it, so why can’t you? Look more at yourself.”

While the guests on the other side were complaining, Sister Liu had already finished the rest of Ning Xiaoyu’s hot pot with a face full of satisfaction.

Although not full, at least it could relieve her craving.

After Sister Liu disposed of the garbage, she snapped her fingers, “Let’s go, Sister, I’ll take you to catch bullfrogs.”

Ning Xiaoyu stood up. “Okay.”

Lu Jingdu also followed suit.

Sister Liu said fearlessly, “There are quite a few frogs near the rainforest swamp that are non-toxic and can be eaten raw.”

Audience: “……”

【As expected of the toughest big sister in the show, she’s incredibly cool.】

【People who followed both shows said that this big sister is the one who stands at the top of 《Extreme Survival》, an existence that the other three male guests combined cannot compare.】

【This sister really eats raw food a lot. Eating raw bullfrog was nothing to her.】

【Is this our big sister returning the favor?】

Sister Liu immediately added, “Of course, if you’re not used to eating it raw, we can also cook it. I’m familiar with this so just leave it to me.”

Thus, Ning Xiaoyu and Lu Jingdu got their first taste of rainforest frogs.

It wasn’t very good, but it’s nice to have an option of eating safe non-toxic food.

The bullfrogs could only be considered as an appetizer and their main food still has to be from the natives.

This time, there was another Sister Liu among those asking for gruel.

In other words, Ning Xiaoyu was dragging three people. Not only was she responsible for her own food, she also had to take her three teammates to fly^[2]game lingo meaning ‘carry people to win’.

【It’s really not easy for our salted fish king.】

【Laughing to death. The team asking for food has grown.】

【Salted Fish King: Forced to support the team, who makes everyone helpless?】

Fortunately, although Ning Xiaoyu only had one piece of chocolate left, Lu Jingdu still had a lot in his hand.

If anything happens, Shen Yueyue also had plenty.

These chocolates alone were enough for them to ask for food for several days.

Of course, the matter of communicating with the natives still falls on Ning Xiaoyu.

While eating gruel, Sister Liu said to Ning Xiaoyu, “Thanks, Sister, you’re a really capable friend.”

【Congratulations to the salted fish king for becoming the most worthwhile friend to have in variety shows!】

【Isn’t that obvious? Although our salted fish king looks salty, she’s truly reliable!】

【If anything goes wrong, our salted fish king is there!】

【Heh, those next door looks like plastic friends who won’t get involve when things go wrong.】

After seeing this scene, the guests on the other side couldn’t help but feel a bit restless.

Ling Zige took the initiative to suggest, “How about it? Let’s go and ask some food too?”

He was about to throw up after only eating two meals of insects.

Ning Yuwei smiled sweetly. “The gruel is so black it looks like it’s burnt. Is it healthy to eat? I heard that the average life expectancy of the primitive humans here is only thirty-five years old.”

Although Ning Yuwei didn’t say it outright, what she meant was that it was unhealthy to eat.

Why else would the average life expectancy of these people be so low?

Xu Cheng coughed lightly. “Forget it, let’s just catch insects to eat.”

———

While Ning Xiaoyu was still eating gruel, the eyelashes of the man who had been unconscious for seven years in the hospital trembled slightly. It appears like he was using all of his strength to try and open his eyes.

It was the hospital nurse who first noticed his movements.

Seeing his eyelashes trembling wildly, as if he was about to open his eyes, the nurse immediately rang the alarm beside the bed.

In a short while, doctor and nurses rushed in.

The doctor looked surprised. “Is there any movement from the patient in this ward?”

The nurse nodded in a daze. “Yes, I just saw his eyelashes trembling.”

The patient had been in a coma for seven years.

It would be a medical miracle if he could wake up.

The doctor stepped forward to examine him, and just as he was about to proceed to the next step, the man on the hospital bed suddenly opened his eyes that had been tightly shut for many years.

The doctor was taken aback by this movement. “You…… You’re awake?”

Ning Zhen hadn’t spoken for a long time. At this moment, his vision was still a little blurred. He struggled to open his mouth, but he could only make indistinct sounds.

The doctor quickly comforted him. “Don’t worry, we will give you a detailed examination first, and as for you waking up, we will immediately notify your family.”

Hearing the word family, two lines of tears flowed from the corners of Ning Zhen’s eyes.

He nodded silently.

At this moment, Ning Xiaoyu was recording a variety show in the virgin rainforest, so the doctor could only call another emergency contact first, Ning Zhen’s nephew—— President Ning.
