【Is this fake?? Photoshopped, right??】
【Photoshop my foot, this is a live stream!!】
【I was totally impressed by Qiao Mei’s reeling posture! As a fishing enthusiast, I can tell Qiao Mei is definitely a pro!】
…
Since the premiere of “Island Survival,” sea fishing had always been set up by the production team as a comedic highlight.
Most of the guests had no experience with sea fishing, often ending up in a miserable, disheveled state with nothing to show for their efforts.
But many viewers loved watching these usually glamorous celebrities make fools of themselves. In short, the worse the guests fared, the more the audience laughed.
However, the entire production team was left dumbfounded.
How did their tried-and-true comedic moment suddenly turn into a thrilling highlight??
“It must just be luck…” the screenwriter muttered to herself.
“Island Survival” also had a script, but it wasn’t the kind where guests acted out lines. Instead, it guided them through tasks.
Seeing many viewers in the comments questioning whether there was a script, she couldn’t help but twitch her lips.
Even if she wanted to write this kind of plot, she couldn’t pull it off!
She couldn’t control whether the fish bit the hook!
Director Meng had a vague sense of foreboding: “I think Wen Ruqiao might really be a bug in our show…”
Before he could finish, Xiao Ou’s exclamation came from the yacht—
“Ahhh! Another one!”
The production team: …!!
You just cast your line a few minutes ago, how did you catch another fish already??
Are you related to the Dragon King or something?!?
Wen Ruqiao had caught two big fish in a row, and all the cameras were now focused on her.
The girl remained as calm, composed, and unassuming as ever, looking incredibly radiant and dazzling under the sunlight.
Xiao Ou mimicked holding a microphone and held it out to Wen Ruqiao: “Let me interview you, Sister Qiao! How do you feel right now?”
Wen Ruqiao’s response was pure steel-straight-girl energy: “I’m thinking… braised or steamed? Sashimi is also an option, but I don’t think we have any wasabi at home…”
Xiao Ou: “Pfft…”
He was starting to see it now—Wen Ruqiao might look like a sweet little girl on the outside, but deep down, she was a total comedian!
The live stream audience was in shock!
【Holy crap! Is this pretty girl really that good??】
【I don’t care, I’m stanning this comedy queen sister!!】
【Hahaha Qiao Mei is so pure and unpretentious, totally different from that flashy b*tch He Something-Nan!】
【He Something-Nan’s fans are about to go crazy!】
While they were talking, another fish bit the hook!
Xiao Ou had gone from shocked to amazed to completely numb. Eagerly, he asked, “Sister Qiao, can I try your fishing rod?”
“OK.” Wen Ruqiao swapped places with him and moved next to Lu Minglang.
The young top idol immediately tensed up, his knuckles tightening around his fishing rod as he stammered slightly, “I-I’ll do my best!”
Wen Ruqiao gave a perfunctory response and went back to her fishing obsession.
During her time studying abroad, the people she knew had all sorts of ways to relieve stress.
Some liked skiing, some liked skydiving, and others liked spending a day as a farmhand picking crops.
But her favorite was fishing.
The moment she reeled in a fish, the sense of accomplishment was truly special.
Lu Minglang glanced sideways, secretly observing Wen Ruqiao.
Her focused and serious expression was particularly captivating—baiting the hook, casting the line, lifting the rod, reeling it in… she managed to catch a fish almost every time.
Before long, the bucket beside her was completely full.
Meanwhile, Xiao Ou, who had switched spots, was scratching his head in frustration. Each time, he either reeled in too early or the fish ate all the bait and swam away.
He even asked Wen Ruqiao for fishing tips, but despite his enthusiastic efforts, he didn’t catch a single fish!
Xiao Ou had a strong sense for variety shows. Knowing this wasn’t a fishing competition, he simply gave up on fishing, grabbed a fan, and began fanning Wen Ruqiao obsequiously. “Sister Qiao, are you thirsty? I brought a few coconuts earlier—should I open one for you?”
Wen Ruqiao played along with the humor: “Sure, let’s have an ’82 vintage coconut.’”
“Coming right up!”
Lu Minglang was momentarily stunned. The top idol, who always shone brightly on stage, now looked utterly bewildered. He had thought he was doing well enough, but compared to Xiao Ou, he felt completely outmatched…
While Xiao Ou went to fetch the coconut, Lu Minglang mustered his courage and cautiously moved closer to Wen Ruqiao.
“Xiao Qiao…”
As soon as he opened his mouth, Wen Ruqiao dodged away, putting two steps between them.
Wen Ruqiao asked, “Is there something? If not, don’t interrupt my fishing.”
Lu Minglang: “…”
The live stream audience burst into laughter.
【Qiao Mei: Sorry, I have a dodge skill】
【She’s so funny, radiating an aura of solitude everywhere】
【To those saying the pretty girl is seducing men, open your eyes! She’s clearly being careful to avoid suspicion!】
A faint blush spread across Lu Minglang’s fair, handsome face, like a clear iceberg melting under a flame. He pursed his lips, picked up the fan Xiao Ou had left behind, and began fanning Wen Ruqiao vigorously.
Wen Ruqiao: ?
“I’m not hot.”
“I… I was afraid you might be hot.”
“I’m really not hot.”
“Oh…” Lu Minglang awkwardly withdrew his hand, hanging his head in dejection.
Wah, would Xiao Qiao think he was a fool…?
But he truly didn’t know how to be good to her…
The sea breeze ruffled the young man’s soft, chestnut-colored hair. His long, curled lashes cast faint shadows on his face, like a damp, fluffy little puppy abandoned in an alley.
If it were He Huainan being this annoying, Wen Ruqiao would have wanted to kick him into the water.
But Lu Minglang was just too good-looking. Wen Ruqiao scratched her eyebrow and said, “Ahem, Lu Minglang…”
Whoosh—
Lu Minglang instantly looked up, his eyes bright and shining as he gazed at Wen Ruqiao.
He looked exactly like a dog that remained happy and sunny no matter how it was treated.
Always loyal to you, trusting you, running toward you.
“Hmm? You called me?” Lu Minglang’s lips curved slightly, his heart pounding like fireworks.
Xiao Qiao said his name!
She said it so… beautifully!
“Can I give you a task?” Wen Ruqiao pointed to the bucket already filled with fish. “Go negotiate with the production team and trade this bucket of fish for other ingredients.”
Lu Minglang nodded vigorously.
Wen Ruqiao doubted whether he had even heard her clearly. “Repeat back what I asked you to do.”
“Xiao Qiao asked me to… uh…” He had clearly already forgotten.
Wen Ruqiao facepalmed.
Lu Minglang flushed red. “I—I was too excited just now. C-can you say it again?”
After Wen Ruqiao repeated herself, Lu Minglang immediately trotted off happily with the bucket to trade for ingredients.
As soon as he left, Xiao Ou returned with the coconut, thoughtfully poking a straw into it.
“Sister Qiao, do you want me to hold it for you?”
Wen Ruqiao pointed at Lu Minglang’s retreating figure. “Go with him to trade for ingredients.”
“Oh, okay.”
“Phew…” Wen Ruqiao let out a sigh, and the world was finally quiet.
Men really are such troublesome and noisy creatures.
Fishing is much more enjoyable~ (^^*)
The live stream audience was instantly baffled. Xiao Ou was considered handsome, and Lu Minglang was even a top-tier visual idol—so why did it seem like, in Wen Ruqiao’s eyes, they weren’t as appealing as fishing??
