Jiang Nan Fang gently patted Zhan Bei Jue, urging him to sleep after staying up almost all night and then running around all day.
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 beside Jiang Nan Fang, he would fall asleep quickly and soundly.
Knowing he was a light sleeper, even a small 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 knew they were quite telepathic.
While she was typing, before she could send the message, Zhou Jin Bei called her via video.
Fearing she might wake Zhan Bei Jue, Jiang Nan Fang quickly hung up.
Zhou Jin Bei then bombarded her with text messages.
"What's going on? Why didn't you answer my video call? Where are you? Are you doing something good behind my back?"
"You didn't reply last night, and you're not replying today. What's going on between you and my second brother?"
"You don't even report the progress. Do you really think I'm just a nanny for the kids? Unreliable!"
Jiang Nan Fang imagined Zhou Jin Bei, who had just put the children to sleep, feeling bored and complaining.
She couldn't help but smile. In the dim light of the 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 enlarged the photo, looked at it again and again, and almost screamed.
Her hands trembling, she typed to Jiang Nan Fang.
"Is this my second brother? Is it really my second brother? Damn, why does he have so much beard now, like a middle-aged uncle? But he's still so handsome!"
"Don't you think he looks like a European with his beard? He looks so much like Brad Pitt, my god, you're actually sleeping next to him 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 deeds did you do in your past life? Can you teach me too? I want to do good deeds like you!"
"And you, sister-in-law, are too daring to post a picture of your husband sleeping! In all the years I've known my second brother, this is the first time I've seen his skin below his neck!"
"He looks so good. Oh my god, I'm so proud! It's so great that such an excellent man is my brother, I'm so proud!"
She typed one message after another, rapidly sending them.
Jiang Nan Fang, lying next to her beloved, was already happy and couldn't sleep.
Being praised by her, she felt even more ecstatic and lost.
"It's no help, who told me I'm beautiful? A talented man and 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, "Aren't you just asking about your children? They're fine. Didn't I send you photos?"
"They're having a great time. Those four ungrateful little ones, as long as they have food and drinks, they don't really care if their parents are around or not."
"And Rui Rui made a girlfriend at the amusement park today. The girl insisted on coming back with us, and I promised to take them again tomorrow before they let us leave."
"Sigh. Even a six-year-old child has a better love life than me. I'm such a failure..."
Jiang Nan Fang imagined the scene she described, and a warm current surged through her heart again.
After warming herself, she comforted Zhou Jin Bei.
"You're just waiting for the right one, how could you not have a love life? This attitude is correct."
"Only pure people can meet pure love. Don't worry. Everything is destined, just wait patiently."
Late at night, giving people spiritual chicken soup?
It was fine. Being coaxed by her, Zhou Jin Bei felt a little better.
After joking for a while, Jiang Nan Fang officially returned to the main topic.
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 Shangcheng program.
"You're going to participate in the program with my second brother?"
Zhou Jin Bei was very surprised.
"That kind of wilderness survival show, it's either going to a primitive forest or to the Arctic or Antarctic."
"All food, drinks, and supplies depend on manual labor. Starvation and eating raw animals are daily occurrences. Are you going to accompany my second brother, or are you going to die?"
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 quite capable of causing trouble. Does he think he's made of iron? He actually signed so many contracts."
"I'll tell Lu Ming Zhe later and have him make a trip to try and buy out all the collaborations for him."
Jiang Nan Fang emphasized.
"Not try, but must. Tell Lu Ming Zhe for me that from now on, Zhan Bei Jue's life is in his hands."
They chatted for over an hour.
After exiting WeChat, Jiang Nan Fang registered on the program's official website.
Putting down her phone, she went to sleep.
Unexpectedly, the next morning when she opened her eyes, she saw the program's entry notification.
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 accompanying cameramen, and everyone would go to the TV station at 2 PM tomorrow for pre-program preparation.
At the same time, Zhan Bei Jue also received the same text message.
Looking at each other, Zhan Bei Jue couldn't help but complain to her.
"The harsher the conditions, the better the effect. I went to the Amazon jungle last time, and who knows how much more extreme it will be this time."
"With your delicate appearance, you can't even stand the sun for two minutes. Are you going to be cannon fodder?"
"Also, there are many insects and wild animals in the jungle. Without some basic identification knowledge, you might not be able to walk out safely. It's not too late to regret it now."
Jiang Nan Fang was actually a little nervous.
But hearing his words, well, just because of your condescending attitude, I have to go!
"Cannon fodder it is, let's just say I want to be famous and gain some exposure."
"I've already registered, so that's that. Don't say anything more about me."
Zhan Bei Jue thought she would be eliminated quickly, not surviving more than two episodes, so he wasn't too worried.
After washing up, they sat on the sofa and looked at each other.
Another day of idleness, what were they planning to do today?
"Why don't we go see the children? Aren't you curious about what your four children are like?"
Zhan Bei Jue stroked his beard.
His appearance was vastly different from before, and he was not familiar with the children now. Would his sudden appearance disappoint them?
"I think with your emotional intelligence, you won't."
Jiang Nan Fang encouraged him.
"My emotional intelligence was very high before, were they very welcoming to me?"
"They must have been. In their eyes, your ability, appearance, personality, and everything else were the best in the universe."
"Then let's go, what are we waiting for?"
The two happily decided on their itinerary and went downstairs to have 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 to see her second brother after a long separation.
