CHAPTER 470: CHAPTER 467: ACTRESS 34

For the young and solitary Shuangshuang, she naturally agreed, and from then on, Shuangshuang would get up early every day to go to the park to receive martial arts guidance from the old man. It can be said that Shuangshuang’s martial arts foundation was established with the help of this old man.

Later, the old man’s children moved abroad for work, and the old man left with them. Shuangshuang never saw the old man again. As for Shuangshuang’s later martial arts skills, she specifically learned them in her past life for acting in action scenes.

Yu Yingjie didn’t know these past events of Shuangshuang. When he heard Shuangshuang admit that she could do martial arts, he became excited and said, "I wonder what martial arts you’ve learned. I learned external boxing’s hard qigong!"

Then, Shuangshuang and Yu Yingjie eagerly discussed various martial arts routines, and as their excitement built, they couldn’t help but look at each other and simultaneously said, "Let’s spar sometime!"

After speaking, they realized they had spoken simultaneously and were momentarily stunned. Yu Yingjie was the first to react, bursting into laughter and said, "You girl, your personality really suits me. I’m definitely making you my friend!"

Shuangshuang also laughed heartily, exuding a heroic spirit, and said, "Alright, having a senior friend like you is a great gain for me!"

Those watching the live broadcast online were dumbfounded by this turn of events and were silent for a long while before someone started sending messages.

"Honestly, I feel like I saw electricity sparking between these two people. But why does it feel not like the spark between a man and a woman, but more like the spark between good brothers? What’s going on? Tell me it’s my imagination. A handsome guy and a beautiful girl meeting shouldn’t spark brotherly affection, right? It must be my imagination! It’s definitely my imagination!"

"Give up, the person above. It’s definitely not your imagination. My Brother Ning is gentle and gentlemanly with girls. With guys, he’s strikingly handsome and charismatic. Based on my evaluation, he’s a true man through and through!"

"Congratulations to my Brother Ning for attracting an extraordinary friend with whom he can spar in martial arts. Good brothers walk together for life; good brothers always have each other’s backs. Brother Ning, your future will surely be filled with brothers all over the world!"

"What’s all this nonsense above? Have you watched too many martial arts dramas? Confessing to Brother Ning, you’re my male god, and I want to have your children!"

Shuangshuang didn’t know that among her fans, she had already been turned into Brother Ning. At this moment, she was looking for a good spot with Yu Yingjie to set up a tent.

Qi Qing and Yun Chuching also wanted to help, but unfortunately, the two who were supporting their crutches were exhausted, their legs shaking, and had no strength left. Despite trying for a long time, they couldn’t hammer the tent pegs into the ground. It was Shuangshuang and Yu Yingjie who swiftly took care of it with ease.

After setting up the tent, Shuangshuang and Yu Yingjie persuaded Qi Qing and Yun Chuching to go inside and lie down for a while. These two girls seemed to be used to a life of comfort and couldn’t endure hardship.

Fortunately, although they couldn’t endure physical hardship, they had a decent mental resilience. Even when their legs shook and their faces turned pale from exhaustion, they didn’t complain or make excuses to lag behind.

While Qi Qing and Yun Chuching rested, Shuangshuang and Yu Yingjie discussed. They decided that with Qi Qing and Yun Chuching, each would take care of one, and with Shuangshuang and Yu Yingjie both skilled in martial arts, they were better at surviving outdoors than ordinary guys, overall giving them a good chance of winning.

As they were discussing the strategies moving forward, on the other side, Feng Zhipeng, He Bin, Lin Xichen, and Jiang Mengchen were so exhausted they almost collapsed, but they finally found a suitable campsite not far from where Shuangshuang’s group had set up, and they could vaguely see each other.

There’s a small river nearby. After setting up camp, Feng Zhipeng and the others gathered some branches, shaped them into points, and ran to the river to catch fish.

Shuangshuang and Yu Yingjie were not in a hurry to go out. They discussed and began gathering some softer tree branches to weave fish baskets with large openings on one end and smaller on the other.

In her past life, Shuangshuang had acted in a rural melodrama where the female lead weaved baskets to sell at the market to support her family.

To bring the character to life at the time, Shuangshuang had seriously learned this skill, which she now found useful. Surprisingly, Yu Yingjie also knew how to weave, and he was quite skilled at it.

The two of them quickly wove two fish baskets and headed to the riverbank together.

The area was scarcely visited, so there were many fish in the river, and they were somewhat clumsy, likely because they had never been caught before and were not afraid of people.

Both Shuangshuang and Yu Yingjie had martial arts skills, their hand movements were swift. As soon as they spotted a fish, they swiftly pressed the basket down, trapping the fish, and then pulled it out from the smaller opening and tossed it onto the bank. They walked back and forth in the river, occasionally bending down to catch a fish each time.

In less than half an hour, they had already caught a dozen or so fish of varying sizes on the bank. Shuangshuang and Yu Yingjie concluded that they caught enough fish. Further catching would just lead to waste, as these fish weren’t particularly large, the biggest being around seven or eight taels, and the smallest three or four taels, and they looked very clean.

Yu Yingjie found some grass stalks and strung the fish through their gills. Shuangshuang and Yu Yingjie carried them back, just in time for Qi Qing and Yun Chuching, who had taken a break inside the tent, to get up and gather some dry wood for grilling the fish later.

However, there weren’t many dry branches on the ground, and most of them were too wet to light a fire because the mountain was too humid, so the dry wood that Qi Qing and Yun Chuching gathered was limited, and it might not be enough to grill the fish.

Seeing the fish brought back by Shuangshuang and Yu Yingjie, Qi Qing and Yun Chuching were both happy and dejected. Yun Chuching, feeling down, said to Shuangshuang, "I feel so useless. You and Brother Yu brought back so many fish, and the two of us couldn’t even collect enough dry wood."

Qi Qing, although silent, clearly looked dejected as well. Before coming to the show, Qi Qing thought she was strong and tough and wouldn’t be a burden, but after participating in the show, she realized it wasn’t just about being tough and not complaining that made someone not a burden.

Shuangshuang and Yu Yingjie exchanged a glance, acknowledging the poor mental state of the other two. They realized that such attitudes could hinder team cooperation, as members who couldn’t contribute might develop feelings of inadequacy.

Shuangshuang and Yu Yingjie quickly acted by taking Qi Qing and Yun Chuching into the woods, guiding them to collect firewood.

Shuangshuang, leading Yun Chuching, circled a large tree and found a dry branch. With a tug, she snapped it off and handed the dry branch to Yun Chuching.
