Jiang Baiwan blinked, two blushes appeared on her cheeks. Her eyes drifted a little and she stammered, “T-this isn’t good…… We two aren’t that familiar……”

Ji Chen frowned. “Then you want me to do it myself?”

“D-d-don’t.” Jiang Baiwan quickly jumped back like a frightened rabbit, wishing she could be eight feet away from Ji Chen. “President Ji! It’s improper for men and women to touch each other!”

Ji Chen didn’t know why Jiang Baiwan’s reaction was so big. He first looked at Jiang Baiwan in some surprise, then his eyes fell on the arm that Jiang Baiwan had behind her back. “Your arm.”

Jiang Baiwan was taken aback and subconsciously took her arm out from behind her. Ji Chen took the opportunity to gently hold her wrist, and immediately, a bright red wound that had not yet fully healed was exposed in front of the camera.

The audience in front of the screen were all frightened by the hideous wound. They immediately thought of Jiang Baiwan’s fall two days ago. It seemed that it wasn’t as casual as she tried to make it look.

“Why didn’t you say you were injured?” Ji Chen examined the wound and subconsciously lowered his voice, “It’s easy to get infected if it’s not treated.”

Jiang Baiwan looked at Ji Chen with some regret and gave an unrelated answer, “I thought you wanted to……”

Ji Chen was carefully looking at Jiang Baiwan’s wound, not paying much attention to her words. “Hmm? You thought what?”

Jiang Baiwan opened her mouth, but felt that if she really dare say it, she might have to explain right here today. “……It’s nothing, don’t mind about the details!”

Ji Chen glanced up at Jiang Baiwan with a faint smile on his face. “Do you have any medicine? We need to take care of it.”

However, Jiang Baiwan pulled her arm out of Ji Chen’s hand. “Where can I get any medicine in this place? Don’t worry, I’ll just bear with it and it will pass. You can see that it’s almost scabbed. I pay attention to hygiene. It won’t get infected.”

After saying that, Jiang Baiwan was afraid that Ji Chen would continue to dwell on this issue, so she changed the topic abruptly, “President Ji, look at where you will sleep at night. Will you sleep on the floor or shall I use a table to make a bed for you?”

When Ji Chen heard this, he looked at Jiang Baiwan silently, who rightfully stared at him and even glared at Ji Chen. “President Ji, I’m a woman after all.”

The audience in front of the screen, who were still engrossed in sympathy for Jiang Baiwan a second ago, were now so amused by Jiang Baiwan that they didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

【If nothing else, Jiang Baiwan’s attitude towards life is indeed very positive.】

【What was Jiang Baiwan thinking just now? Looking at that expression, she was definitely thinking about something else!】

【Weld the car door shut for me. No one is allowed to get out of the car tonight^[1]continue to tell a dirty joke until it’s finished.】

“……It’s okay, I have a way.” Finally, Ji Chen gave up struggling. “You don’t need to worry about that.”

Jiang Baiwan nodded simply. “That’s fine. I won’t be polite to you then. It’s time for us to have lunch at this hour. Could you please go outside to find some ingredients?”

Ji Chen nodded. He stood up honestly to go out and look for ingredients, but just as he reached the door, Jiang Baiwan stopped him again.

Jiang Baiwan handed him a bamboo basket and solemnly hung it on Ji Chen’s arm. “Take this with you, it’s convenient for carrying things.”

Ji Chen stood at the door of the dilapidated cottage with a bamboo basket on his arms while still wearing a high-end suit. No matter how one look at this picture, it feels weird.

However, Jiang Baiwan was particularly satisfied. She stretched out her hand and patted Ji Chen on the shoulder. “Okay, everything’s ready. I’ll trouble you with the ingredients for today’s lunch.”

The audience in the live broadcast room were all laughing like crazy. Ji Chen’s new image was really too shocking, but his expression remained very calm, and he even nodded to Jiang Baiwan. “Don’t worry.”

Then, everyone watched as Ji Chen went out with the bamboo basket on his arm.

【Jiang Baiwan is really poisonous. Make a debut as a comedian. I’m sure she’ll be popular.】

【If President Ji sees this image of himself, will he not regret it the future?】

【At first I thought President Ji is very cold, but it looks like President Ji may be a still water that runs deep.】

Li Huacheng was tasked to come out in search of ingredients as well and he happened to meet Ji Chen. Li Huacheng looked at Ji Chen in surprise, only to see President Ji carrying a bamboo basket while walking in front of him in an upright manner, his leather shoes already covered with a lot of mud spots.

Li Huacheng: “……”

He rushed to Ji Chen’s side in a few steps and said in a lowered voice, “You’re really going out of your way just to get a smile from the beauty, ah.”

Ji Chen directly ignored Li Huacheng’s words. “Where to find the ingredients?”

Li Huacheng shook his head resignedly and wanted to reach out to take the basket in Ji Chen’s hand. “Forget it, forget it, let me help you. We’ll find it together.”

“Mr. Li, Mr. Ji.” Suddenly, a woman’s voice came from ahead. “Fancy meeting you here. What a coincidence.”

Li Huacheng followed the sound and saw Tan Mi standing under a tree in a red dress, smiling at them. “Have you come out to find the ingredients for today?”

Li Huacheng blinked, and soon showed a gentle and polite smile. “Yes, it’s such a coincidence that we met Miss Tan.”

“I’m also here to look for ingredients.” Tan Mi raised the basket in her hand. She was answering Li Huacheng’s question, but her eyes were boldly staring at Ji Chen. “Since we’ve all met, why don’t we go together? There’s strength in numbers after all.”

Li Huacheng opened his mouth to agree, but was interrupted by Ji Chen on the side. “No, there’s no need.”

Tan Mi’s hand holding the basket quickly tightened for a moment and then loosened again. Her expression remained the same. She just said to Ji Chen in a joking tone, “Mr. Ji’s refusal is really merciless. It seems that I’m making people dislike me.”

Ji Chen raised his eyebrows, not giving Tan Mi any face. “As long as it’s clear to Miss Tan.”

With that, Ji Chen lifed his feet and walked forward again while Li Huacheng hurriedly followed him, leaving Tan Mi standing alone, her face turning red then white.

“Ji Chen, when will you change your insensitive character?” Li Huacheng began to criticize Ji Chen when they were far away from Tan Mi. He didn’t look like a movie star but an old mother. “In any case, Tan Mi is the sexiest goddess in the entertainment industry for three years. Such a pretty lady, aren’t you afraid that Tan Mi’s fans will scold you to death?”

Ji Chen calmly shook his head. “No.”

Li Huacheng sighed, “You’re still a newborn calf that’s not afraid of tigers^[2]young or inexperienced people often have less fear.”

Ji Chen glanced at him. “I have money.”

Li Huacheng: “……All right.”

Consequently, as Ji Chen was having a hard time finding some ingredients, he suddenly received a special task.

He and Jiang Baiwan were called to the coast alone. When Ji Chen arrived, he still had the basket in his hand and Jiang Baiwan stood beside him with a clueless expression on her face. “What’s happening?”

Ji Chen shook his head. “I don’t know. It seems that there’s some special task.”

The director standing in front of them said, “Welcome, Mr. Ji Chen and Ms. Jiang Baiwan, the random task given to you today is that you must use coconut as an ingredient for lunch.”

Jiang Baiwan suddenly had a bad feeling. She looked at the coconut trees behind the director and asked tentatively, “Director, this coconut…… Does it mean that we have to climb up the tree to pick it ourselves?”

“Miss Jiang guessed right.” Said the fat director without any sense of shame at all. “There are coconut trees here. You two just need to find a way to get one fruit down.” Then, the director waved his hand, and all kinds of props were immediately brought from the side, all of which can be used for picking coconuts.

Jiang Baiwan stepped forward, rummaged through the props, and picked up a pair of straw sandals. “How do you use this? It looks quite unique.”

The smile on the director’s face widened. He explained to Jiang Baiwan, “Miss Jiang really chose the right one. This straw sandal is specially used by the locals when climbing trees. They look simple, but with them, climbing a coconut trees is as easy as pie.”

The director specially invited a local person to give a demonstration and show them both how to climb using it. They saw a dark-skinned local man wearing a pair. As nimble as a monkey, he climbed up the tree without any effort. Jiang Baiwan looked dumbfounded and the bullet screen was also covered with 【Awesome】.

Jiang Baiwan carefully observed and found that the left and right sandals were connected by a straw rope. When climbing trees, the straw rope can be hung on the protruding part of the tree, thus saving a lot of energy.

“Your task is to be able to successfully pick a coconut.” The director said wreathed in smiles. “If you can pick a coconut within the specified time, you can obtain extra ingredients from the program team—— A piece of beef and a whole chicken.”

At this, the eyes of Jiang Baiwan, who was still a little reluctant just now, suddenly lit up—— Beef and chicken!

Goodness knows that ever since she came to record this show, it was difficult to see even minced meat. Now that there was beef and chicken out of the blue, Jiang Baiwan’s enthusiasm was immediately set off.

She stood there stretching her body for a while, then quickly took off her shoes, intending to change into the pair of straw sandals. The director was still pretty reliable. The coconut tree he chose weren’t very tall, which reduces the difficulty by a lot. Looking up at the coconuts on top of the tree, Jiang Baiwan felt her body burning with fighting spirit.

“Jiang Baiwan.” Just as Jiang Baiwan was about to put on straw sandals, Ji Chen stopped her. “It’s too dangerous. Let me do it.”

Jiang Baiwan looked at Ji Chen’s suit and sighed deeply. “Don’t worry about it. We’re surrounded by sand. Nothing will happen. Besides, how are you going to climb a tree with such clothes?”

Ji Chen wanted to say something more, but Jiang Baiwan had already put on the sandals neatly, leaped without any hesitation, and tried to climb up the coconut tree near her. Ji Chen was a step slower and could only helplessly watch Jiang Baiwan hug the trunk and began the climb.

Fortunately, Jiang Baiwan wasn’t just talking big. She was a little jerky at first, but when she was about to reach the top of the tree, she was already very proficient. She climbed to the top smoothly, found a thick branch and sat down, then excitedly waved at Ji Chen who was underneath. “I’ve made it, I’ve made it! Am I good or what?!”

Ji Chen had been clenching his fists as Jiang Baiwan climbed up, and now that he had seen her reach the top safely, he couldn’t help but sigh with relief.

The next second, Jiang Baiwan, who was sitting on the tree happily swing her feet, throwing the straw sandals in the air.

Ji Chen: “……”
