“You sure have a lot of free time.”

After hearing Pei Xuan’s words, Lu Yiqing couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

But then he spoke, “However, there is one thing that really caught me off guard.”

Pei Xuan asked, “Oh? What is it?”

“That this woman is actually willing to endure such hardships. After finishing as the lead in the girl group, she should have had plenty of good opportunities.”

“How would anyone know? Anyway, I’m happy about it. Next week, I’ll have to ask you for some time off.”

Pei Xuan, gloating, squinted with delight.

Lu Yiqing frowned. “Why?”

“Of course to watch ‘Hot-Blooded Soldiers.’ With such a great opportunity, would I not go?”

Pei Xuan’s eyes narrowed into slits from smiling, then he urged, “Hey, Yiqing, why don’t you come with me?”

“I’m not interested.”

“Aw, come on, why not? Don’t you want to secretly enjoy it inside?”

As Lu Yiqing’s brother, Pei Xuan despised women like Su Yunjin the most.

They pretended to be honest and upright on the surface, but in reality, they were ungrateful.

When the engagement was broken off, Lu Yiqing was forced to kneel as punishment by Old Master Lu in the ancestral hall, yet that woman didn’t even show her face.

So heartless and unfaithful!

Now that she’s suffering, he’s happier than anyone.

Thus, next week, he vowed to watch every single frame of the ‘Hot-Blooded Soldiers’ livestream!!

Seeing Pei Xuan’s firm resolution, Lu Yiqing smiled wryly, “I’m not watching. If you want to watch, watch by yourself. But taking time off is impossible. Don’t think I’ll let you have paid leave just to follow a variety show.”

His words were harsh, but Pei Xuan wasn’t surprised.

He snapped his fingers. “Fine, but I’m not going on a business trip.”

“We’ll see about that later.”

Their conversation ended there.

Meanwhile, time passed quickly for Su Yunjin as well. In the blink of an eye, it was time for their outdoor special training.

The preparations before departure were already being broadcast live.

Before eight in the morning, the live room for ‘Hot-Blooded Soldiers’ was packed with viewers eager to watch.

“They’re here, they’re here.”

“Hahaha, I waited for so long yesterday, finally it’s starting, let’s go.”

“Can’t wait, can’t wait! I’m willing to call ‘Hot-Blooded Soldiers’ my favorite variety show to follow.”

With two to three minutes before the broadcast, the chat in the live room had already exploded.

At eight o’clock sharp, ‘Hot-Blooded Soldiers’ began.

The camera showed the training base and field.

In the previous two episodes, Fu Lin had been training Su Yunjin and the others at this time.

But today, Su Yunjin and the others wore camouflage uniforms and sat on the ground, facing director Xu Zhang.

Xu Zhang’s face was pixelated, but that didn’t affect his role at all.

His purpose today was simply to explain some things; all he needed was to speak.

“Starting today, all guests will undergo outdoor special training. Our production team has prepared a warehouse for you.

Inside, there are all sorts of items. From now, you have 20 minutes to go in and select what you need.

But the catch is, you only have one backpack to carry everything.”

…

“Although we knew the show would get more interesting from this episode, I didn’t expect it to be this tough.”

“Twenty minutes to prepare a week’s worth of supplies—what if everything gets snatched up?”

“Exactly, this is way too harsh.”

In the live chat, viewers felt the chill in Xu Zhang’s words despite the 37-degree weather.

Putting oneself in their shoes, having to gather a week’s supplies in just 20 minutes, and if the warehouse got cleaned out, that would be it.

Difficult!

So difficult!

Truly beyond ordinary difficulty.

Along with the viewers, Guan Tongyue, Zhang Chuchu, and Zhang Xiaoxiao were also anxiously watching.

Zhang Xiaoxiao raised her hand first. “Director, who goes first?”

“There’s no order; you decide among yourselves.”

“What if there isn’t enough supplies? What if we end up fighting?”

Zhang Xiaoxiao glanced meaningfully toward Su Yunjin and then spoke with a mischievous tone.

“Pfft.”

Zhang Chuchu was the first to laugh.

Seeing Zhang Chuchu laugh, Zhang Xiaoxiao immediately lifted her head proudly.

But aside from making Zhang Chuchu chuckle, these words weren’t amusing to Su Yunjin, Guan Tongyue, or Zheng E at all.

Fight?

What kind of situation would lead to a fight?

Guan Tongyue’s expression darkened, and Zheng E shouted, “Don’t worry, Teacher Zhang, we’ll go easy on you. You can distribute the supplies later.”

Zhang Xiaoxiao’s expression changed. Guan Tongyue then spoke, “That’s true. Outdoor training isn’t simple. We should unite. Don’t you agree, Teacher Chuchu?”

Zhang Chuchu naturally had no objection. She hoped everyone could put aside grudges and face these five days together.

Though Zhang Xiaoxiao said she could protect herself, everyone knew strength lay in numbers.

Comparing one Zhang Xiaoxiao to the three of Guan Tongyue, Zheng E, and Su Yunjin, it was easy to see who held more weight.

“I agree. We should unite. Let’s go in together, each grab what we need most, then combine our supplies. Teacher Zhang, what do you think?”

Even though she looked down on Zhang Xiaoxiao inside, Zhang Chuchu didn’t forget her value and offered her a way out.

Zhang Xiaoxiao had originally wanted to seize the advantage, but since Zhang Chuchu said so, she reluctantly agreed.

With the plan set, the five walked toward the warehouse.

Though they spoke of unity, Guan Tongyue and Zhang Chuchu walked ahead, with Zhang Xiaoxiao close behind.

Su Yunjin walked at a leisurely pace at the back.

Zheng E also wanted to be at the front, but as someone just starting his career, he had to maintain some dignity in front of the cameras.

So he followed Su Yunjin at a steady pace.

“Yunjin, should we hurry up?”

Seeing Zhang Xiaoxiao already inside the warehouse, Zheng E urged anxiously.

Su Yunjin smiled. “It’s alright. You go ahead, Teacher Zheng.”

“Alright, I won’t wait for you then.”

Zheng E strode into the warehouse without waiting for Su Yunjin.

Behind him, Su Yunjin briefly surveyed the warehouse before her.

It looked like a train car or something converted from it.

The area was roughly several hundred square meters, simple but spacious, filled with three rows of shelves.

Entering, Su Yunjin smelled a faint mustiness, a sign that the items had been stored for a long time.

However, both the floor and the empty shelves were spotless.

Guan Tongyue and the others were hurriedly grabbing supplies—food, drinks, tents—taking almost everything they could.

For a moment, the four of them busied themselves like hardworking bees, calling each other over whenever they found something.

“Hahaha, Guan Tongyue and the others are really desperate this time.”

“They look like grandmas fighting in a supermarket sale.”

“This is hilarious. The ‘Hot-Blooded Soldiers’ production team really outdid themselves.”

Viewers in the live chat laughed until their sides hurt as they watched Guan Tongyue and the others seemingly trying to stuff the whole warehouse into their backpacks.

The camera panned, showing the chaotic scene, then settled on the unhurried Su Yunjin standing quietly on the side.

Twenty minutes was neither too long nor too short, but under the camera’s gaze, Su Yunjin wandered among the three rows of shelves like an old gentleman.

Compared to Guan Tongyue and the others, Su Yunjin was a complete oddity.

“What’s going on?”

“Why isn’t Su Yunjin grabbing supplies?”

“How strange. Doesn’t she fear being left alone in the deep mountains?”

The viewers, who had been doubled over with laughter at Guan Tongyue and company, now wore confused expressions watching Su Yunjin.

Her fans were especially worried.

“Why isn’t she taking anything?”

“She’s been here for so long, but there’s hardly any heavy or dangerous gear taken.”

“That won’t do! Hurry up and grab some!”

One minute, two minutes, three minutes passed. Time ticked away, and Su Yunjin was still picking and choosing, with only a few items in her backpack.

A sleeping bag.

A military knife.

A bottle of honey, a large bottle of mineral water, and two or three packs of instant noodles.

Compared to Guan Tongyue and the others’ fully packed backpacks, hers looked almost empty.

Everyone was biting their teeth in frustration.

Some were curious why Su Yunjin acted this way.

Just as everyone wondered, Su Yunjin suddenly strode over to a shelf in the corner and began feverishly stuffing items onto it.
