Me at two years old, a queen!

Before An'an could run over, Lu Junxing spotted Wang Jinbao and Duoduo squatting by the fire outside the tent, munching on something. Startled, Lu Junxing quickly rushed forward and pulled An'an back from the tent.

"Dad? What are you doing? I need to take a nice bath! Do you want me to turn into a smelly little An'an?"

Lu Junxing breathed a sigh of relief, patted her head reassuringly, and then carried her towards Wang Jinbao and the other man. He saw them eating roasted potatoes, their mouths covered in black soot.

She was preoccupied with something and urgently needed to ask Wang Jinbao, so she didn't bother scolding An'an for being greedy right after eating. She just wanted her to be quiet and stop biting her shoulder, so she simply snatched a piece from Wang Jinbao's hand and broke off a small piece for her.

"What's going on? Why isn't Duoduo taking a bath inside? Who's bathing in there?"

Wang Jinbao was also worried that the two little girls would get sick from overeating, since they would need to take a bath soon, so he buried the remaining roasted potatoes even more in the ashes of the fire.

"Sigh~, don't even mention it! I had just filled the water and Duoduo's mom had everything ready when Yangyang's dad came out with the child and said: 'Can Yangyang wash first? He's not well, and I'm afraid he'll catch a cold if he washes too late!'"

Seeing that the cameras around them were far away—after all, this was a shower area, and not everything could be filmed—Wang Jinbao couldn't help but cover his microphone and complain:

Before I could even say, "After the two little girls finish washing, it will be Yangyang's turn," he said, "I'm holding a child, so it's inconvenient for my hands. I need to help him carry the water in!"

Wang Jinbao got excited while talking, and when he looked down at the two little girls staring at him with curiosity, he calmed down and looked at Lu Junxing with a mixture of disdain and pity.

Wang Jinbao didn't know what to say. He was just an ordinary person who got on the show because of Ji Jianshu. If he made a fuss, he was afraid it would affect Ji Jianshu.

After all, he and Zhuangzhuang were just there temporarily to join the group, while Ji Jianshu still had to record several episodes with Yangyang and the others!

"Hey~, they're out!"

Lu Junxing glanced at Su Shao, who was carrying a child, and frowned. He got up to prepare bathwater for the two children, but Wang Jinbao pulled him aside.

"Sigh~, no need to rush! He just used up all the hot water, we'll have to wait a while to heat up the next pot!"

Lu Junxing lowered his head to hide a flicker of gloom in his eyes. They all knew that nighttime weather in the desert was completely different. They hadn't originally planned to bathe the child, but considering they'd been running all day...

I didn't mind the trouble of boiling water to give the child a quick wash, since there were still several days to go! I couldn't let it all go bad.

"It's okay! I'll go find Jiang Yun and borrow one of their staff's pots!"

Lu Junxing noticed Su Shao's selfish nature during the first episode. After all, he was a celebrity who rose to fame through popularity, and everyone who worked with him was criticized, yet Su Shao, the core figure, was completely absolved of responsibility.

Looking back now, the rumors and gossip online weren't entirely unfounded. As the old saying goes, "Flies don't land on eggs without cracks!"

Wang Jinbao glanced at Duoduo, who was squatting next to him eating potatoes, and then picked her up: "Hehe~, let's go together! Duoduo, go ask for the pot, I don't believe Jiang Jun will refuse to give it to you!"

As he spoke, Wang Jinbao quickly leaned down and whispered a few words to Duoduo, implying that she should cling to Jiang Jun and act coquettishly. Seeing Lu Junxing looking at him with a somewhat ambiguous expression, Wang Jinbao nonchalantly replied:

"Having an extra pot means boiling water faster! And everyone can get some rest earlier too!"

It took quite a bit of effort to boil half a bucket of water for each of the children and tidy them up before it was Xu Tinglan's turn. Xu Tinglan was too embarrassed to take a bath, so she just filled a bucket with some water and washed herself.

When Lu Junxing returned after tidying up, he saw several children and An'an huddled together in his tent, hugging the old hen. Seeing the troublesome girl cleaned up and hugging a chicken, Lu Junxing felt a headache coming on.

"What? Are you going to be the mother hen now? Need to lull it to sleep?"

An'an: "Is it okay? Can a person coax a chicken to sleep?"

An'an didn't know that people could coax chickens to sleep. Even Duoduo, who always loved playing house, stared at the old hen in An'an's arms with shining eyes. It suddenly perked up: "I'm speaking human language! Can this chicken understand me?"

An'an: "Shouldn't it be okay if we say 'chicken'? That way, they'll understand when it 'clucks'!"

Lu Junxing was too lazy to waste any more words with the two little idiots: "You two together are a perfect match for the Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix! Alright! Go back to sleep, or you won't be able to get up tomorrow!"

Zhuangzhuang: "What are 'Sleeping Dragon' and 'Young Phoenix'?"

An'an: "Yeah? Dad? Are you talking nonsense? Why do you keep saying things that people can't understand?"

I was praising you!

As Lu Junxing spoke, he pulled the children out of the tent. Shen Yu, on the other hand, consciously pulled Ji Jianshu out of the tent. As Zhuangzhuang was being lifted up by Lu Junxing, he thought about how An'an's father had just praised An'an and Duoduo.

Thinking that Lu Junxing must have accidentally forgotten about him from the Iron Triangle, he added to himself, "Me too! I'm also a Crouching Dragon and a Young Phoenix!"

Watching Lu Junxing carry Duoduo and Zhuangzhuang away, one in each arm, the tent suddenly became much quieter. An'an quickly hugged the old hen in her arms and wanted to go to bed.

Lu Junxing grabbed the hood of An'an's pajamas and strangled her, making An'an scream. Zhuangzhuang, who was struggling in the tent next to them, was so frightened that he thought An'an had been beaten and was too scared to move. He quickly crawled into bed and went to sleep!

"You or the chicken, choose one!"

"why?"

"Because this place is so small, there's only room for two people to sleep! If the chickens stay in the tent to sleep, you won't have anywhere to sleep; you'll have to squat by the door to sleep. You choose one!"

"Dad, can you go outside and squat down to sleep? That way, everyone, including 'Giggle,' can sleep in the tent!"

After An'an finished crying, clutching her bottom, Lu Junxing picked her up. An'an, clutching the chicken, and the father and daughter secretly and forcibly put the old hen into Jiang Jun's tent and settled it in. Only then could An'an sleep peacefully!
