Chapter 485 Pretending to sleep
Huang Yan was making blueberry jam on the side, while Chen Wei used the leftover wood from building the raft to make a grill.

Open the wild boar's belly, stuff it with fish, shrimp, and other things, then seal the opening with several sharpened wooden sticks, place it on a grill, and rotate it to roast...

The pork turned from white to golden brown, sizzling with oil, making everyone's mouths water. The photography team, in particular, had been smacking their lips non-stop for over an hour, from the very beginning until now.

Chen Wei and Huang Yan lifted the roasted wild boar off the grill, while Chu Yu removed the grill and replaced it with an iron plate.

After placing the wild boar on an iron plate, Huang Yan reduced the fire, while Chen Wei was responsible for removing the row of wooden nails from its belly. As soon as it was opened, fish and shrimp mixed with oil spilled out of its belly.

Huang Yan couldn't resist any longer. He quickly used a knife to slice off a piece of pure meat from the wild boar's back and wolfed it down.

Suddenly, I realized that wilderness survival wasn't as bad as I had imagined.

To put it bluntly, this is called wilderness survival; to put it nicely, it's just like having a picnic on an island, only without a bit of seasoning.

However, eating something lighter occasionally is quite nice, allowing you to experience the original flavor of the meat...

Throughout the day, Chen Wei, Huang Yan, and Chu Yu did almost nothing but eat, and then it got dark.

Meanwhile, the photography team watched as Chen Wei and his companions ate pork, fish, shrimp, and sea cucumber all day long.

This feeling is even more agonizing than torture itself.

They even regretted volunteering to film a survival movie in the wilderness.

Thrilling? Yes, there were: Chen Wei slaying a shark, Huang Yan killing a still-living goat with a rock...

But most of them look more like food shows, okay?

"Alright, we've eaten and drunk our fill. Let's get the fire going and start wrapping things up." Chen Wei went to the beach and washed the oil off his hands with sand.

"Is that all? I thought I'd have to stay another night?" Huang Yan stood up, stretched, and his bones cracked.

Afterwards, Chen Wei, Huang Yan, and Chu Yu each piled up a bunch of firewood, lit it, and the fire slowly grew, illuminating the entire beach.

At this point, a group of photographers separated from the crew, pretending to be people who had gone out on a yacht for fun but hadn't returned in time. They then slowly brought the yacht to shore and picked up Chen Wei, Huang Yan, and Chu Yu.

Facing the camera, they said some inspirational words about not giving up and persevering, and the filming officially came to an end.

As the yacht sailed back, Huang Yan came to Chen Wei's side, leaned on the railing, and still had some doubts, "Is it really okay for us to record ourselves eating and drinking like this for TV?"

"What's wrong with it?" Chen Wei turned to look at Huang Yan.

"It just feels a bit strange. Isn't it too easy for celebrities to appear on TV?" Huang Yan asked Chen Wei.

"Then you can try distancing yourself from me and go to other entertainment companies to see if they'll let you on TV." Reality may be a little cruel, but you'll get used to it.

"I understand." After Chen Wei said that, Huang Yan suddenly felt enlightened.

The reason she was able to appear on TV was entirely due to Chen Wei. If she went to other entertainment companies, there would be an endless line of idol trainees, directors' sons, and all sorts of people waiting in line. How could she possibly get a turn?
Huang Yan no longer cares about whether things are popular or not. He's better off staying in the East District and being an instructor. That's good enough for him.

"Brother Chen, I've done what I needed to do, so when can you... you know what I mean?" Huang Yan steered the conversation back on track.

"How long until you participate in the exchange competition?" Chen Wei asked to confirm.

"It'll be in a few days, this week," Huang Yan replied.

"If I don't have any plans for tomorrow, I'll go over there. Don't worry, since I've already promised you, I definitely can't go back on my word." Chen Wei reached out and patted Huang Yan on the back.

This will put his mind at ease; his credibility is guaranteed.

"Alright, with Brother Chen's words, I can rest assured." Huang Yan nodded emphatically.

"By the way, about that prison from before, could you put in a good word for me? I'm going in to deliver some things to a friend." Chen Wei remembered Zhu Hong; he had promised to send her cigarettes after the incident with the mole within the Qingshi Group.

It's better to repay favors as soon as possible.

Moreover, Chen Wei was actually quite curious about the "Old Lin" that Huang Yan referred to in prison.

But judging from Huang Yan's expression, he probably won't tell me. That person is very mysterious.

"Oh, that prison? Brother Chen, you have an instructor's certificate, right? Just show that to them," Huang Yan explained.

"Oh, I see!" Chen Wei was a little surprised, not expecting that the little red booklet would have this function.

While chatting, the yacht arrived at the dock.

The maid had been waiting there for quite some time.

"Brother Chen, don't forget, see you tomorrow!" Before leaving, Huang Yan reminded Chen Wei again and again.

"Do not worry."

"Goodbye, Instructor Chen. Have a good night's sleep." Chu Yu placed her hands in front of her, bowed slightly, and followed Huang Yan away.

The photography team then drove away in a large vehicle.

Chen Wei and the maid drove towards the Cloud Top Villa...

"How was it? When you came out, were the lights in the villa on or off?" Chen Wei asked the maid.

"It was closed, but it was opened again later," the maid said truthfully.

"My older sister's room?"

"Yes," the maid affirmed.

Chen Wei's smile may have seemed helpless, but his heart was full of warmth.

It was 1:30 a.m. when the car could see the Cloud Top Villas.

[Should I check in for day 41?]

Sign in!

[Sign-in successful! Congratulations, host, you have achieved maximum speed!]

Previously, it had maxed out its stamina attribute, and now it has maxed out its speed attribute. Is it going to max out all its attributes?

Chen Wei smiled slightly.

Shortly after, the car arrived at the Cloud Top Villa and came to a smooth stop in front of the villa, with the lights turned off.

Chen Wei got out of the car and looked up to see that Su Qingyue's room was dark.

Is the maid lying?
Absolutely impossible, Chen Wei was absolutely certain.

Earlier, when they were going up the mountain, Chen Wei noticed that Su Qingyue's room light was on, and she only turned it off when the car came into view.

Chen Wei's smile was tinged with helplessness; he didn't know how to respond.

Enter the villa and go up to the second floor.

Before stopping at Su Qingyue's room, Chen Wei didn't knock. Instead, he pressed the doorknob, gently opened the door, and went inside.

Although the lights in the room were off, Chen Wei could clearly see that Su Qingyue's body, hidden under the covers, trembled slightly.

For some reason, upon seeing this, Chen Wei suddenly had a wicked thought.

She tiptoed to Su Qingyue and asked softly, "Sister, are you still awake?"

"..." Su Qingyue didn't answer, clearly pretending to be asleep.
