Since Chen Xiao died of stomach cancer in his previous life, he has understood one thing: life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by heaven. If one day you are really about to die, it means that heaven wants to destroy you, and it is beyond human control.
Qi Yu had long known that Chen Xiao was a dog that could not spit out ivory. He felt that his brain was stuck in the door for asking him. He narrowed his eyes and said, "If God wants to destroy someone, he will first destroy you, a wicked ghost."
Chen Xiao was ready to retort when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he suddenly found that it made sense. He lowered his head and fell into deep thought: Hiss... Could it be that I died young because I was too immoral in my previous life
The other groups had already decided on the candidates, but their group was the only one that hadn't made any moves. The director looked at them, raised his megaphone and asked, "Have you decided who will participate in the game of picking coconuts from trees?"
Qi Yu was very confident, so he would never admit his weakness. He pursed his lips, frowned, and took a step forward, ready to take the safety rope from the staff. However, Chen Xiao suddenly took the rope away before him and said to the director, "I'll go up."
Qi Yu was stunned.
Jiang Long tutted, "Why doesn't Qi Yu climb?"
Jin Annie and the others were children, so it was fine if they didn't crawl, but why was Qi Yu, an old man, so squeamish? He just couldn't stand Qi Yu's bad temper.
Chen Xiao tied the rope around his waist and said with a half-smile, "Oh, he's afraid of heights."
He remembered that Qi Yu had taken on a martial arts drama in his previous life. Everything else was fine, but because he was afraid of heights, he wasted too much time hanging on wires and was badly criticized by the paparazzi.
However, only a few die-hard fans knew about this. Yu Ying and Jin Annie were a little surprised when they heard this, because Qi Yu was almost all-round in singing and dancing, and had no other shortcomings except his bad temper. They didn't expect that he was afraid of heights.
Jin Annie covered her mouth in shock: "Really? Chen Xiao, how did you know?"
Qi Yu had a strange temper, so she didn't dare to ask.
Of course Chen Xiao couldn't explain this question: "It's fake, don't believe it."
Qi Yu glanced at Chen Xiao inconspicuously, with an inexplicable expression, and no one knew what he was thinking. He was actually as surprised as Jin Annie and the others. He and Chen Xiao had just known each other for a short time and had never told anything to each other, so how could he know that he was afraid of heights
Chen Xiao said that he was a black fan, but even his black fans didn’t know about this.
Could it be...
Is he actually his own die-hard fan
Qi Yu shot down this idea as soon as it came up. Chen Xiao always confronted him, which was nothing like meeting his idol. He said that Chen Xiao was a die-hard fan, which was an insult to the word "die-hard fan".
Just as Qi Yuxu drifted away, Chen Xiao and his team had already put on safety gear and started climbing trees under the guidance of professional coconut farmers.
Although Joe and Jiang Long were young and strong, it was their first time to climb such a high tree. It was fine at the beginning, but as the height increased, they could not help but tremble. He Weinan, needless to say, was too old and had been pampered in the office for many years. After climbing the tree for a long time, he just didn't want to get the reward and kept circling at the bottom.
Jin Annie and the others were so anxious that they wanted to join the fight themselves. They shouted encouragement until their voices were hoarse. However, when they looked at Chen Xiao again, they saw that he was climbing steadily and quickly and had already climbed to the middle of the tree.
Normal people would be a little scared to climb this high, but Chen Xiao had lost someone once before, so he couldn't be calmer. Compared to the uncoordinated limbs of others, it didn't take him long to climb to the top of the tree.
At a height of more than ten meters, even people can only see black shadows.
"Chen Xiao!"
Qi Yu stood below, his heart in his throat. He opened his mouth, wanting to remind Chen Xiao to be careful, but no words came out.
Chen Xiao shouted from above: "Stand further away, or it will hit you."
Qi Yu subconsciously stood aside.
Chen Xiao looked away again after seeing this. He observed the mature coconuts on the tree and chopped off a bunch of them with a utility knife in two strokes. After making sure that there were no missed ones, he chopped them off the tree neatly.
There were more than a dozen ripe coconuts on the beach, all of which Chen Xiao had just picked. Jiang Long and Joe were still stuck between the trees, unable to move forward or backward.
He Weinan was forced to withdraw from the competition because he could not hold on any longer. He looked a little embarrassed, and even the smile on his face froze.
Jin Annie exclaimed: "Chen Xiao, you are so amazing!"
Chen Xiao untied the safety rope on his body and threw it aside: "Then when I go out to introduce myself, in addition to showing off my wealth and muscles, can I also show off a coconut?"
He is very self-deprecating.
Jin Annie and Shengnan both covered their mouths and laughed, thinking that Chen Xiao was quite interesting. Yu Ying was more considerate and whispered to comfort He Weinan.
Only Qi Yu crossed his arms and did not express any opinion. Of course, you can also understand that he did not want Chen Xiao to be too concerned.
However, not long after, Chen Xiao suddenly walked up to Qi Yu and kept staring at him without saying a word. His tall figure had perfect proportions, comparable to a male model, and he cast a shadow on his head, like the scorching sun, which made people blush and hot.
Qi Yu subconsciously took a step back: "What are you doing?"
Chen Xiao looked evil: "What do you think I can do?"
Qi Yu's heartbeat suddenly became panic for a moment. He was about to say something when he heard Chen Xiao say, "Go pick up coconuts."
Qi Yu was stunned: "What?"
Chen Xiao repeated, "Go pick up coconuts. Don't tell me you are not only afraid of heights, but also afraid of coconuts."
He would not let Qi Yu, his mortal enemy, reap the benefits without any effort.
Qi Yu: “…”
Qi Yu had long known that Chen Xiao would never say anything nice. But it was not unfair for him to climb the tree and pick up the coconuts himself. Hearing this, he did not refute anything for the first time. He bent down and picked up all the scattered coconuts around and gathered them into a pile.
Chen Xiao followed him like a supervisor, with his hands in his pockets:
"Hey, hey, hey, on the left, there's another one on the left..."
"Right... You can't tell left from right... I said right..."
Qi Yu had never met someone as annoying as Chen Xiao in his life. Hearing this, he turned around, threw the coconut in his hand heavily on the ground, and was ready to say that he would quit. However, the next second, Chen Xiao saw something and his face suddenly changed -
Suddenly, a coconut flew from nowhere and smashed towards Qi Yu. In a flash, Qi Yu felt a pulling force on his arm, and then someone pressed his back hard, and the arm tightly protected his head, the force was even a little painful.
"boom!"
The coconut hit Chen Xiao's shoulder accurately and fell to the ground with a thud. Chen Xiao lowered his head and groaned, feeling half of his arm numb. He let go of Qi Yu and stepped aside, holding his shoulder for a long time before he recovered.
Everyone was also shocked by this scene and asked about the situation: "Chen Xiao, are you okay?"
Qi Yu was also startled for a moment. He subconsciously held Chen Xiao's arm and said anxiously, "Are you okay? Do you want to see a doctor?"
Zheng Jiaguo saw that something was wrong and ran over to see what was going on: "Chen Xiao, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Xiao shook his head. He wanted to move his shoulder, but it hurt so much that he gave up. He looked down at the coconut that had just fallen and kicked it. He saw that it had been eaten by insects. "Fortunately, it was a rotten coconut. It doesn't hurt."
Bullshit!
An egg falling from a high altitude can kill a person, let alone a rotten coconut.
But Chen Xiao was also quite good at that moment, thinking it was too embarrassing to cry out in pain, so he kept silent. Seeing that he didn't seem to be in trouble, everyone slowly dispersed and continued the game.
Qi Yu stared at Chen Xiao, wanting to say something but stopping himself: "Are you...are you really okay?"
The degree of darkness quietly decreased by 1.
Chen Xiao: "You are the one who caused the trouble. I told you that God wants to destroy you, but you still don't believe it."
The degree of darkness increased by 1 again.
Qi Yu raised his hand to hit him, but Chen Xiao dodged far away. He always looked so energetic, and he didn't calm down even after being hit by a coconut: "I am your savior. What if a coconut falls on your head and turns you into an idiot?"
Qi Yu was so angry that he almost died, but he couldn't do anything because of the camera. In the end, he could only snort coldly and put his hand down, thinking that Chen Xiao was a fool.
While they were talking, Joe and Jiang Long finally climbed to the top of the tree with great difficulty. However, because their muscles were too tense and their physical strength was too exhausted, they barely swung the sickle once before they ran out of strength, and each of them only picked a half-ripe coconut.
It was clear that the outcome was decided.
The director counted Chen Xiao's group of coconuts and calculated the final score: "One coconut counts as one point. Chen Xiao picked twelve coconuts in total and got twelve points. Joe got one point, Jiang Long got one point, and He Weinan gave up, so he got zero points."
Joe and Jiang Long came down from the tree, their legs were so weak that they couldn't even stand up. They didn't even have the energy to envy or hate him. They just sat on the beach and gasped. He Weinan smiled awkwardly and didn't answer.
As the sun sets, the sea is painted with a piece of red light by the sunset glow, and the sunset melts into gold, the beauty is intoxicating. Chen Xiao's hair is blown by the wind, and the corners of his shirt are flying. He bends down to pick up a coconut, tosses it in his hand, and then throws it to Qi Yu with a smile: "Hey, I'll give it to you to drink, to nourish your brain."
Qi Yu subconsciously raised his hand to catch it, glanced at Chen Xiao, raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "It's you who got hit, not me. If you need to replenish your brain, you should do it."
Jin Annie ran around Chen Xiao and said, "Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao! Can you share your coconuts between us? Joe picked them but they are not ripe yet."
Chen Xiao said: "If you want it, take it. There are plenty on the ground."
Several children cheered when they heard this, and each of them picked up two and held them in their arms, then followed the team towards the villa.
Qi Yu always stood out from the crowd, standing alone, looking arrogant and aloof. Chen Xiao also walked very slowly, perhaps because of his shoulder injury.
Qi Yu looked down at the plump coconut in his hand and felt that Chen Xiao seemed a little too skilled: "Have you ever picked coconuts before?"
Chen Xiao couldn't remember clearly: "Maybe."
In his previous life, he was diagnosed with cancer and traveled to many places and tried many extreme sports. But he didn't have much time left, so he had fun as much as he wanted, and there were so many types that he couldn't even remember them all.
Qi Yu didn't ask any more questions, and walked back to the villa with him at a leisurely pace. Everyone collapsed on the sofa to rest, they were very hungry, but there was nothing in the refrigerator in the living room except drinking water, not even a biscuit crumb could be found.
Joe rubbed his empty stomach: "The program team said that points can be exchanged for food, I wonder what can be exchanged for?"
He felt that his points were a bit miserable.
Chen Xiao was also a little hungry, so he stood up from the sofa and said, "I'll go ask."
Chen Xiao had the most points among all the people, and everyone was eagerly waiting to see what kind of food they could redeem. However, not long after, Chen Xiao came back with a plastic bag.
Qi Yu glanced at the bag and felt like it was a cookie: "What is this?"
"Biscuits."
Chen Xiao shook the bag and dumped out a pile of biscuits. He counted them carefully and found eight bags. He gave everyone a portion and said, "Eat sparingly for dinner tonight."
Jin Annie said in disbelief: "You have so many points, and the production team only gave you a bunch of cookies? They are too stingy!"
The director team actually gave Chen Xiao two options: first, use all points to exchange for a seafood set meal for two, and second, exchange one point for a bag of cookies.
The seafood set for two was pitifully small, not enough for two people, let alone eight people. In addition, the other group's points were not high, and they couldn't go hungry, so Chen Xiao simply exchanged for eight bags of biscuits and shared one bag per person.
But he didn't explain anything: "There was something else, but I felt it was more cost-effective to exchange it for cookies, so I exchanged it for cookies."
Jin Annie knew that Chen Xiao could eat all by himself, and she exchanged eight bags of biscuits for the sake of the family. She smiled and said, "Chen Xiao, you are such a good person. I will definitely treat you to a meal after the show is recorded."
When she said this, everyone was a little surprised. Nowadays, dating shows sound like dating shows, but in fact, they are just a bunch of people playing around. After the show is recorded, they go their separate ways and rarely interact with each other in private. No one knows each other.
At least Jin Annie never said this when she was in contact with Joe.
Qi Yu glanced at Chen Xiao and said, "Why didn't I realize that you were quite popular?"
Chen Xiao finished the bag of cookies in two moves and threw it into the trash can: "To be honest, I just realized how popular I am now."
Chen Xiao has always been puzzled. He was so outstanding, so handsome, and so shining in his previous life, so why did no one like him
Qi Yu ignored him: "Narcissism."
The guests had a simple dinner in the living room, but none of them were full. They were going to go upstairs to take a shower and sleep to save energy, but the program crew suddenly came to interview them and wanted to hear their views on love.
Chen Xiao was once again forced to sit behind the black curtain. He didn't understand what love questions he, a single man for nearly fifty years, could answer, and he looked uninterested.
The interviewer was also a little timid, fearing that Chen Xiao would say something earth-shattering and start a fight: "What do you think is the most important thing in a relationship?"
Chen Xiao thought about it carefully. Although he had never been in a relationship, he had a lot of experience in life and could still accumulate a lot of experience: "Be peaceful and respectful."
He said: "These two points are the most important in a relationship. This equality does not only refer to one's own ability, but also to the spiritual equality. If your partner does not put you on an equal footing, then he will definitely not respect you, and this kind of relationship is often difficult to last."
Zheng Jiaguo was a little surprised. Oh my God, that bastard Chen Xiao finally learned to speak human language!
The interviewer nodded frequently, feeling that Chen Xiao's words made sense: "Then how do you judge whether a relationship is true?"
Chen Xiao felt that this was very simple: "You need to seriously consider what this relationship has brought you."
"If this relationship brings you nothing but anxiety and disappointment, makes you angry and uneasy, and makes you less and less like yourself, then you should get out of it as soon as possible, otherwise your love for life will be worn out in the long run."
"A true relationship will not make you lose yourself, and the impact it brings to you should also be positive. Gradually become better, have courage, be strong, and support each other to the end, this is the true relationship."
The interviewer was somewhat surprised that Chen Xiao was so insightful at such a young age: "So what do you think is the most taboo in a relationship?"
Chen Xiao warned seriously: "Never be a lapdog to anyone. Loving someone is important, but self-respect is also important, so never be a lapdog."
The interviewer nodded and asked, "Have you ever had any romantic experience?"
As soon as she said this, the air inexplicably fell into a subtle awkwardness.
Chen Xiao was silent for a moment: "... No."
very good.
The interviewer smiled and said, "The interview is over. Thank you for your cooperation."
Jin Annie and the others had finished the interview and were all watching Chen Xiao's recording. They listened attentively for the first half of the segment, some even fell into deep thought, but when they heard the last question, they all laughed and punched the wall.
Qi Yu stood quietly by the window. Through the glass, he saw Chen Xiao's face full of shock and he curled his lips slightly.
Humph, he thought Chen Xiao was so capable, but it turns out he is just a guy who can only talk.
So when Chen Xiao finished the interview and returned to the living room, he saw Jin Annie and the others greeted him with a smile, and then went upstairs to take a shower and go to bed. He was a little confused for a moment.
Chen Xiao looked at Qi Yu who was leaning against the stairs: "What are they laughing at?"
Qi Yu chuckled and said in an ambiguous way: "Oh, they are laughing at a single dog."
Chen Xiao subconsciously asked: "You?"
Qi Yu's smile froze: "..."
Qi Yu could swear that he had never seen such a shameless person as Chen Xiao in his life. Hearing this, he immediately lost interest in continuing the conversation, threw the things in his hand into Chen Xiao's arms, and turned to go upstairs.
Chen Xiao subconsciously raised his hand to catch it, but saw that it was a packet of bubbles. He looked at Qi Yu with a little surprise, but Qi Yu had already closed the door.
Everyone was starving today, and they were very happy to receive a biscuit, not to mention a bowl of delicious popsicles. Although Chen Xiao didn't understand why Qi Yu gave it to him, he thought that since he helped Qi Yu block a coconut today, it didn't count as taking it.
There was a kitchen on the first floor of the villa, with pots, pans, and everything else, but no food. Chen Xiao was just in time. After he exchanged for the biscuits, he still had four points left. He stared at the bubble in his hand, and then exchanged two eggs with the program team, and boiled water.
#Poached eggs are the soul#
Chen Xiao's left shoulder was injured, and he felt uncomfortable no matter how he moved. He performed a one-handed egg beating in front of the cameraman, with skillful movements, and he seemed to have good cooking skills.
Jiang Long originally went downstairs to drink water, but when he opened the door, he smelled a fragrant aroma of bubbles, and his eyes were full of stars. He looked carefully and saw that it was Chen Xiao, who asked in surprise: "Where did you come from to take a bath?"
Chen Xiao was addicted to cooking and couldn't help himself. He ignored him and said, "I stole it. You should call the police right away."
Jiang Long snorted, thinking, it's just bubbles, what's the big deal. However, he was so greedy that he couldn't even drink the water and went back to his room.
On the other hand, when Chen Xiao was serving the cooked food, he suddenly thought of a serious question: it seemed that he had stomach cancer in his previous life because of irregular eating habits. What if Jiang Long got stomach cancer due to hunger
When he heard this, his face changed. He didn't care about the heat, and hurried upstairs with the bowl in his hand. He walked to Jiang Long's room and knocked on the door: "Jiang Long!"
The door opened with a click, revealing Jiang Long's blue head. When he saw it was Chen Xiao, he said with disgust: "What are you doing?!"
Chen Xiao handed the bowl to him: "You are hungry, right? Here you go."
Jiang Long looked like he had seen a ghost: "Give it to me?"
When he saw Chen Xiao holding the bowl, he inexplicably remembered a classic line: Lang, drink the medicine~
Jiang Long couldn't help but shudder. He stared at the delicious food, swallowed his saliva, and shook his head with difficulty to refuse: "I won't eat it. Are you so kind?"
Chen Xiao resisted the urge to slap him to death and forced a smile: "Of course, I'm your fan."
Jiang Longcai didn't believe it. He always felt that Chen Xiao and Qi Yu were in the same group and they definitely had bad intentions: "I don't want to eat it. You can take it back."
Chen Xiao kept persuading him: "Eat a little, just one or two bites will do. What if you get hungry?"
Jiang Long felt more and more that he was up to something: "I said I don't want to eat it, and I didn't ask you to cook it."
Chen Xiao continued to persuade him, and the humble man acted like a dog: "Actually, I have always been your die-hard fan. I feel uncomfortable seeing you hungry, so I beg you, can you have a couple of bites?"
Jiang Long was indeed very hungry. He stared at the bowl and asked suspiciously, "Are you really my fan?"
Chen Xiao: "Of course, eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."
Jiang Long: "Then let me ask you, when was my first time participating in a variety show?"
Chen Xiao wanted to slap him to death, but he managed to answer patiently, "Two years of "Youth Passion", Season 8."
Jiang Long was shocked when he heard this, thinking that Chen Xiao was really his fan. He looked back at the room, which only had a table filled with messy things, and finally wavered: "... Okay, I'll clean up the table for a while."
Chen Xiao finally persuaded him and let out a breath. However, before he could relax, he turned around and saw Qi Yu standing beside him. He was so frightened that his heart stopped: "!!!"
Qi Yugai had just finished a shower, his hair was half wet, and his body was still covered with moisture, making him look even more transparent, like a jade sculpture. He was wearing a pair of black headphones, and when he saw that Chen Xiao had discovered him, he raised his hand to take off the headphones and hung them around his neck. His face was cold, and his voice was slightly sarcastic: "Chen Xiao, you are quite good at doing things like borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha, aren't you?"
Chen Xiao felt inexplicably guilty.
Qi Yu sneered and asked back: "Just now in the interview, you vowed that you would never be someone else's licker, how come you turned around and became Jiang Long's licker, Chen Xiao, does your face hurt?"
Chen Xiao thought that he did say that we should not be a dog that licks others, but he did not say that we should not be a dog that licks ourselves, so he wanted to explain: "Well, what..."
Qi Yu didn't want to listen anymore. He took out the medicine oil from his pocket, threw it at Chen Xiao with a clang, turned back to his room with an expressionless face, and slammed the door shut.
Chen Xiao: “…”
Jiang Long happened to come out and witnessed the whole process. He took the bubble from Chen Xiao and said gloatingly, "I let you be a fence-sitter, and now you mess up. I'll just accept it reluctantly."
Chen Xiao reacted and glanced at him: "When did I say that the bubble was for you?"
He snatched it directly from Jiang Long's hand: "Here you go!"
Jiang Long: “????”
