"Big brother's craftsmanship is truly excellent. It fits so well, their relationship must be absolutely extraordinary."
"Oh my, how romantic! They even made a flower crown."
"I can't wait for tonight. It's just a man and a woman, even if there's no affection, they'll surely develop some."
Netizens even spontaneously gave the pair a couple name.
Grass Skirt Couple.
"Just based on their looks, I'm a fan. I wish them a lasting relationship. Is anyone else joining me?"
Zhou Jinbei was also watching with his children in front of the computer.
Seeing their Daddy and Mommy chatting and laughing, having a good time, they were quite envious.
"This is no different from our summer camp. It looks quite fun. I want to go too."
"Last year, Daddy let us participate in the summer camp, but he didn't sign us up this year. However, I don't want to go. If I go, I won't be able to watch Daddy and Mommy's show."
"I want to be the biggest fan of Daddy and Mommy. I wish them success all the way. Let me send a bullet comment!"
"Don't talk, let me see what they're going to eat next."
There were plenty of wild fruits in the forest, and a lake nearby meant no shortage of water. On the first day, they didn't need to rush to find food.
Zhan Beijue decided to sort out the accommodation first.
After changing clothes, he went to the lake, found a large rock, and smashed it open. He picked out the two sharpest pieces and bound them to tree branches as thick as his wrist with plant vines, creating two simple axes.
Then, he took Jiang Nanfang to chop wood.
The forest was quite complex. Sleeping on the ground at night could expose them to attacks from reptiles or large beasts.
Or, if there was heavy rain and flash floods, without drainage, they could be soaked and washed away at any moment.
Therefore, the house had to be built in mid-air.
He found a relatively suitable lawn in an open area to build the house and drew four dots on the ground.
He planned to install four pillars at these four points to fix the basic structure of the house.
He chopped thick logs, and Jiang Nanfang chopped the thinner ones.
Without mature modern tools, the two of them worked tirelessly for half a day, and Jiang Nanfang's hands were covered in blisters before they managed to bring back four tree trunks.
Jiang Nanfang was worried.
"If it continues like this, we definitely won't be able to build the house tonight. Chopping wood wastes too much time. Why don't I leave it all to you, and I'll weave the vines? We can divide the labor."
"Your hands are already bleeding with blisters. Forget it, go rest. If we can't finish it, we can't. We can just sit leaning against each other tonight. It's fine."
Jiang Nanfang was not convinced.
"How can that be? I'm here to participate in the show, not to be a princess. If others can do it, I can too."
"Stop talking nonsense and get to work."
The lighter tasks were much more manageable for Jiang Nanfang.
When Zhan Beijue carried back a few more thin logs, she had already woven the required vines into long, thin strands, and had prepared several of them.
Zhan Beijue found it quite amusing to see her with her hair tied up, sitting on the grass under the shade of a tree, working diligently.
He couldn't help but walk over and nuzzle her cheek from the side.
Jiang Nanfang turned her head and met his gaze.
They both smiled.
Although they didn't speak, and felt too embarrassed to kiss in front of the cameras, the feeling of being at ease because the other was by their side permeated the entire screen.
As the sun began to set, Zhan Beijue decided to stop chopping and asked Jiang Nanfang to help him bury the four pillars.
Then, they began to build the basic framework of the house.
Both of them were engineers, so they had a good understanding of spatial design and utilization.
Thus, by working diligently, they managed to lay the bottom layer of the aerial bed just as it was getting dark.
They both gathered thick leaves to spread on it as a mattress. Today's recording time was up.
Jiang Nanfang waved goodbye to the camera with a radiant smile.
"We're going to sleep now. That's all for today. See you tomorrow. Good night."
The audience in front of the screen was very reluctant.
"Ah? We were just at a crucial moment, and it's over already?"
"Do we need to upgrade to a membership to watch the rest? Turn on the paid features, I'm willing to pay for membership!"
"I'm already looking forward to tomorrow. I really want to see what happens tomorrow. I haven't been this invested in a show for a long time."
"How about a 24-hour live broadcast? I can sacrifice some sleep."
"Do you think sleeping like this will be uncomfortable? Will it affect Big Brother's performance at night?"
"The show is for a full 100 days. Will they have a baby by the end of the show?"
In any case, the show had just begun, and everything, including the recording and various progress, was going smoothly.
The only thing causing unease was that no one had informed them about the other contestants.
They didn't know the current number of remaining participants or eliminated contestants, which made them feel a little anxious.
By the tenth day of the broadcast, the Grass Skirt Couple already owned a luxurious aerial mansion, a few fish, and two wild rabbits as reserve food.
They had a high public profile online, having become internet celebrities who were responsible for a considerable portion of the viewership.
This was not something Ke Jingyu had expected.
He thought Jiang Nanfang might slack off or cause trouble to help Zhan Beijue leave the show earlier.
This way, she wouldn't be in breach of contract and wouldn't have to ask for favors...
Unexpectedly, the two of them were actually enjoying themselves.
A mere five million yuan. He never expected that Zhan Beijue would now stoop to such low levels for such a small profit.
The assistant also felt it was going too far. Their popularity was completely contrary to the show's original intentions.
"Should we try to stir up some trouble for them?"
"This is just the beginning. Without too much effort, they won't feel too much pain if they fail."
"Do you know when the truly breakdown-inducing moments occur?"
The assistant understood.
The moment that truly breaks a person is when they are one step away from victory, only to have it slip through their fingers.
As expected, Mr. Ke is indeed Mr. Ke.
This approach not only maximized the show's effect, gaining sufficient attention and viewership in the early stages, but also prevented them from achieving their goals in the end.
Truly remarkable.
However, Jiang Nanfang had already guessed Ke Jingyu's thoughts.
Before coming to the show.
She had already anticipated it.
If you had the ability to control your enemy's fate, how would you choose to act?
A normal person would likely have two approaches.
One: Use your power to retaliate in every way possible, suppress and humiliate your enemy, making him suffer unbearable pain.
Physically retaliate against him.
Two: Identify his life's ambition, his ultimate goal. At the moment he is about to achieve it, deliver a fatal blow.
Spiritually retaliate against him.
They had been here for ten days, and every day was relaxed and uneventful, lacking any challenge.
Ke Jingyu's prolonged inaction wasn't due to his noble character, but because he had chosen the second path.
Jiang Nanfang would not let him succeed.
Her true purpose for coming here was not to help Zhan Beijue win the championship.
Instead, it was to control the pace and find an opportunity to leave with him openly at any time.
They had already played for ten days, which was enough. It wouldn't be shameful to withdraw from the show now.
She didn't care about a mere five million yuan. It was time to prepare.
