“Swimming, swimming laps.” In the end, Ye Kehuan still said those two words.

Jiang Laien finally let go of her anxiety after listening, and smiled: “Okay, I heard that there is a water park here that is pretty good and fun. We can go there.”

“Good.” Ye Kehuan nodded.

Then Jiang Laien frowned slightly: “However, I found one problem. I didn’t bring a swimsuit.”

“Then we can buy one when the time comes, and we can tell the others when we finish the challenge.” Ye Kehuan said.

When Jiang Laien heard this, she smiled and nodded, and then raised two small pear-shaped dimples: “Let’s do our best tomorrow!”

“Yes, let’s win together!” Ye Kehuan squeezed her hand in front of her, looking like an energetic young girl.

Jiang Laien wiped the hair on her forehead, turned her head to look at her, and there was an uncontrollable smile on the corners of her lips.

Early the next morning, after the celebrities received the ingredients allocated by the program group, some people became confused again.

Probably because there were too many ingredients, everyone became a little at a loss in an instant. Just the division of labor would require a lot of planning.

However, Jiang Laien and Ye Kehuan’s cooperation in preparing dishes was rather harmonious.

You peel and chop garlic, you peel and chop green onions, and you cut me skewers for vegetables. It was very efficient. Basically, the morning passed and no one had made a mistake, and all the ingredients provided by the show were cut up.

At noon, after the preparations were almost completed, the two of them sat down and picked up the boxed lunches that the program crew had brought from nowhere. They sat next to the bunch of skewers.

The quality of the box lunch did not seem to be particularly high. It was just a little different from the previous good fish and good meat. The rice was a bit too soft. The rice grains were sticking to each other. It was tufty and wet. There was very little meat in the chili-fried pork. Most of it was green peppers, and the rest was seaweed egg drop soup.

“The configuration for today’s lunch is quite odd.” Jiang Laien grabbed a piece of pork and looked at it. “It’s just that the pepper seems to be a bit… too much… not many pieces of meat…”

After listening, Ye Kehuan coughed. Then she picked up her chopsticks and put the chili into her bowl. She ate a big bite of white rice and nodded as she ate: “This chili is so fragrant, it’s so delicious!”

Jiang Laien was dumbfounded after listening.

So Ye Kehuan swallowed what was on her chopsticks, and then picked out all the shredded pork inside and put it in Jiang Laien’s bowl: “I’ll give you all the meat!”

“Wait, you don’t want any meat?” Jiang Laien asked.

“Yeah.” Ye Kehuan pursed her lips and nodded, staring at the dish steadily, and continued to stuff the meat into Jiang Laien’s bowl,” I don’t like meat. I like peppers, they’re delicious and refreshing. It’s so flavorful!”

After listening, Jiang Laien raised her eyes to look at her, and a slight smile appeared in her eyes.

After that, the two continued to eat. However, Ye Kehuan only ate a few chopsticks, so it was a little dysfunctional. She could really eat spicy food, and she had always been hailed as the king of the pepper world by people around her. But the chili there seemed to come from hell, and she found she had been dethroned.

So, as she ate, Ye Kehuan’s ears, nose, and eyes gradually turned red.

In the end, Ye Kehuan couldn’t help it. She put down the box and rushed to the bathroom.

“Kehuan?!” Jiang Laien also hurriedly stood up.

“I’m fine. I’m just too hot, so I want to wash my face!” Ye Kehuan’s voice came from inside.

Jiang Laien was stunned, looked down at the box lunch in front of her, sighed, and smiled slightly.

Then, Jiang Laien picked up her mobile phone, took a photo of the food on the table, and then sent a Weibo: “@YeKehuan is absolutely adorable. Because she knows that I love meat and not peppers, she picked all the meat, and then, her side was full of green peppers, my side was full of meat, and she found it so spicy that she kept coughing…Really a fool!”

As soon as the Weibo was released, fans once again were stunned with surprise.

[Fuck, why is it a little sweet?!]

[I admire… this love… hum hum…]

[Sisters, dbq, I have turned my back. I said a few days ago that I didn’t want to watch this show, but now I really want to watch it. What happened? ? ? Itchy!]

…

After seeing everyone’s comments, Jiang Laien couldn’t help but smile, and then put Ye Kehuan’s box of lunch aside, then got up and went outside to buy another lunch that was not spicy.

On the other side, Ye Kehuan finished washing her face, then stuck her face in front of the air conditioner for a while, barely expelling the spicy feeling, and then walked out again.

However, as soon as Ye Kehuan came out, she found that Jiang Laien had disappeared.

So Ye Kehuan went back and forth for a while. In the end, Ye Kehuan still decided to call Jiang Laien.

As soon as she picked up her phone, Ye Kehuan saw the Weibo notification.

Stunned, Ye Kehuan was stunned there. After clicking to open, Ye Kehuan swiped through the comments and laughed inexplicably.

Some people were saying it looks like love.

Thinking of this, Ye Kehuan patted her face again. What are you thinking about? Weird…

At that time, Jiang Laien came back from the outside carrying a bag of things.

Ye Kehuan immediately shut down the screen of her phone, looked up and asked, “Where have you been? I was planning to go find you.”

“I went to buy lunch. You’re so stupid. You can’t eat stuff that spicy but you still wolfed it down.” Jiang Laien gave her some scorn.

After listening, Ye Kehuan reached out and touched her head: “I’m not stupid…”

Jiang Laien smiled without saying a word, but stretched out her hand to open the bag, and then opened the packed box. She saw neatly packed dumplings inside, and the fillings could be vaguely seen through the skin. Just looking at them this way made people think they must be delicious.

“Steamed dumplings?!” Ye Kehuan swallowed. This was her favorite.

“Yes, you try to see if it suits your appetite.” Jiang Laien handed her a pair of chopsticks, and then opened a small box of vinegar sauce.

After Ye Kehuan saw it, she couldn’t wait and picked up a dumpling and dumped it in vinegar, then put it in her mouth to chew, and then immediately raised a thumbs up.

“That’s good.” Jiang Laien smiled with bright eyes, and then she picked up a dumpling and tasted it slowly.

After eating most of the dumplings, Ye Kehuan turned her head and looked at the bright white sun outside, and then said: “I’m going to the market this afternoon to buy some fish.”

“The kind of slap-sized fish?” Jiang Laien asked.

“Yeah,” Ye Kehuan nodded, “I saw everyone grilling it in the night market. I feel that it is also a major feature here, but the program group did not provide it.”

“Okay, let’s go together later.” Jiang Laien took another bite of dumpling as she spoke.

“You can’t do it, I can go by myself,” Ye Kehuan drank some ice water, “It’s too hot outside, don’t go out.”

When Jiang Laien heard this, she replied: “Do you care about me so much?”

Ye Kehuan was stunned for a second, then coughed: “Then we’ll go together, but you, put on sunscreen!”

Jiang Laien was also happy and nodded: “Okay.”

In the blink of an eye, after the two of them did their sun protection work, they got onto an electric scooter and went out.

Ye Kehuan sat in front, Jiang Laien was carried behind, and the wind was circling along the way, making the corners of her clothes fly around. The afternoon sun fell through the dense canopy of trees on both sides of the road, covering them with a layer of fine marks. It was pretty cozy.

Something was hit by the electric scooter on the way, and the scooter jumped a little. Jiang Laien couldn’t help tightening the hand around Ye Kehuan’s waist. Ye Kehuan couldn’t help but stiffen, and then bit her lower lip. She continued to drive the electric scooter, pretending that nothing happened.

After more than ten minutes, the two people arrived at the aquatic product market.

The area of this aquatic product market was quite large, but the selection was not rich, and the overlap was quite high. Ye Kehuan had a good memory, and at a glance, she recognized the kind of fish suitable for barbecue. In addition, she bought some other things, so the two people’s purchasing activities became very fast.

As a result, the day was far from over. On the way back, their originally good battery suddenly broke and became unusable. In the end, the two of them had to get off the scooter halfway and stand under a big tree with helpless faces.

“What to do,” Jiang Laien swept her hair and took off some things, “How far is it from here to our place?”

After listening, Ye Kehuan looked down at her phone: “1.2km.”

It’s not too far. That is, if you don’t mention things like the weather being so hot. They would melt on the walk back.

At this time, a truck with a bunch of piglets ran over the road, and the dust was kicked up all over the sky. Ye Kehuan and Jiang Laien both squinted their eyes and raised their hands to place them in front of them, coughing non-stop.

“It’s too hot today,” Jiang Laien wiped the sweat from her forehead with her free hand, “It will be easy to get a heat stroke.”

“Yeah, it’s simply not something people can stand. Give me those.” After Ye Kehuan finished speaking, she stretched out her hand to grab the things in Jiang Laien’s hand.

“No, you are already carrying some, aren’t you tired?” Jiang Laien gave her a sideways glance and moved the things behind her with a strong attitude.

“I’m not tired, I’m Tarzan!” Ye Kehuan’s attitude was tougher, and she brought the things over as she spoke.

Jiang Laien: …

After walking for a while, a motor vehicle rumbled past them, and Jiang Laien looked sideways at Ye Kehuan: “Or, let’s try to get a Didi back, okay?”1

“What?” Under the interference of the rumbling of the vehicle, and the fact she was too hot, lacking energy, and was a little faint, Ye Kehuan did not hear Jiang Laien’s voice too clearly, so she turned her head to look at her.

“I said,” Jiang Laien raised her hand to her lips and shouted at her, “Would you like me to call someone?”

At this moment, Ye Kehuan turned her head to look at her, and shouted back with empty eyes: “I never called a chicken!”
