CH 235

After finishing the last bite of rice, Kuang Yuan picked up the cloth bag on the table, "Mum, I'll go and bring food to my brother and the others.

In the bag were three large lunchboxes filled with fried sesame flowers, corn cakes and spicy duck necks that his mother had spent the morning making. When his mother came out of the kitchen, she put another box of hot beef jerky into the bag and said, "Be careful on your way.

Kuang Yuan carefully tied the string of the bag, his eyes arched, "I know."

She walked out of the neighbourhood, greeted the two military uncles standing guard at the gate and headed for the research bureau.

This community is the family compound of the Research Bureau, and it is built near the Research Bureau, only 500 metres away. In order to ensure that the people of the Research Bureau could work without any worries, the State provided the best arrangements for the families of the Bureau in every way. Since the construction of the family compound, Kuang Zheng's family has moved in.

When they found out that Kuang Zheng had become a national civil servant, Kuang's father and mother were overjoyed to be able to live here comfortably, and Kuang's mother had more time to think of little things to cook for her daughter to send to her son and his colleagues.

Kuang Yuan has been to the Research Bureau several times, and today he came just in time for Kuang Zheng and his team to have lunch. The group was gathered in the lounge, laughing and talking.

"Hello brothers," Kuang Yuan said graciously as he placed the cloth bag on the table, "this is something Mum made and asked me to bring it to you to eat."

Kuang Zheng patted his sister's head and took the contents of the cloth bag out, a light-hearted smile appearing on his ever-silent face, "Good work."

The long-haired young man with the most striking and flamboyant looks sitting on the sofa leapt over the sofa sharply and walked quickly with his long legs to the table and put a few duck necks into the lunch box, saying cheerfully, "Thank you sister, thank you auntie."

Kuang Yuan smiled shyly, "You don't have to thank the team leader, my mother specially put in extra chillies, you should try it and see if you like it."

Jiang Luo's eyes lit up and he immediately gave a thumbs up after taking a bite, "It's fragrant and spicy, Auntie's cooking is really good."

Kuang Yuan laughed twice again with joy and pride.

Jiang Luo came up to Kuang Yuan and bent down. He was so tall and thin in his combat boots that if he hadn't bent down, Kuang Yuan would have had to tilt his head up to see him. But Jiang Luo was always considerate, and he asked gently, "Yuan Yuan, why do you call me team leader when you see me?"

Kuang Yuan said honestly, "Because I'm used to being called team leader."

Perhaps it was because she felt more secure calling him 'team leader', and every time she did so, Kuang Yuan felt as if she had become a junior soldier in the research bureau, full of energy and wanting to do something with her brother.

It is not that she is not close to Jiang Luo, but she admires him more than she does.

Jiang Luo guffawed, "Okay."

He straightened up, picked up his lunchbox and walked over to the sofa and sat down next to Ge Zhu.

Ge Zhu looked at Kuang Yuan with greedy eyes and said sadly, "I miss my younger siblings too."

Since Ge Zhu's relationship with Jokhang Temple has been restored, Ge Zhu's younger siblings have returned to study at Jokhang Temple. Although these siblings are not Ge Zhu's real siblings, they are no less affectionate than the Kuang Zheng siblings. When he sees the Kuang Zheng siblings together, Ge Zhu can't help but think of his own sweet, thoughtful and understanding children.

Jiang Luo looked at his watch and suddenly gave a wicked smile. He picked up the remote control and turned on the TV, "You can't see your younger siblings, but you can take a look at your dog brother."

Ge Zhu's crying face gave a beat, "There's news about brother dog?"

Ge Wuchen has not been heard from for a long time. But to be honest, Ge Zhu cares more about his younger sibling than his own brother Ge Wuchen. He and Ge Wuchen were not sure how to get along with each other afterwards, except for the moment of reconciliation when they showed their emotions.

Ge Zhu was so ashamed of having wronged Ge Wuchen, but he also suffered from years of hatred and hurt from Ge Wuchen, his inferiority complex, pain and shadow all came from Ge Wuchen.

When he was about to die, Ge Wuchen was about to go mad, and his tears fell on Ge Zhu's face.

He still resents Ge Wuchen, he thinks.

The idea of feeling sorry for his own brother and wanting to beat him up were not contradictory at all, so Ge Zhu did not dwell on it as he wished. Jiang Luo also knew what Ge Zhu was thinking, and he smiled mysteriously at Ge Zhu, "You'll find out soon enough."

Jiang Luo tunes the table and his attitude attracts the others. The crowd sat down around the sofa in twos and threes, and snacks were laid out on the coffee table. Ye Xun took the lead and sat down on Jiang Luo's other side, whispering, "What's wrong with Ge Wuchen?"

"Ye Xun, you should hold back your curiosity," Jiang Luo said in a superior manner, "the least you can do is to be a little patient."

Ye Xun scratched his ears in curiosity as he hugged Xiao Fen, a pitiful look automatically appearing on his expressionless face, " Jiang Luo."

Jiang Luo said coldly, "One more minute and you'll know."

Ge Zhu, who was eavesdropping, was even more curious.

A minute later, the commercial ended and the opening credits of the variety show called "The Good Life in the Country" began to play.

They looked at Jiang Luo and saw that Jiang Luo had it all figured out.

They know about this programme, which is a famous slow variety show about village life. The guests live in a remote village for seven days, where they have to feed, clothe and house themselves, experiencing a life away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Each episode is recorded in an extremely difficult location, with different characteristics of poverty, and the selling point is the guests' wretchedness and insight of living in the countryside.

But what does this show have to do with Ge Wuchen?

They were even more puzzled.

However, when the host of the show brought out the guests, they understood completely.

Holy shit, why is Ge Wuchen in there?

"Crap, crap, crap, crap, am I blind?"

"Is he really Ge Wuchen? No, he can't be Ge Wuchen, this guy is actually just a guy who looks exactly like Ge Wuchen, right?"

" Ge Wuchen has gone on to become a star ...... From monk to star, that's an inspiring process."

On screen, Ge Wuchen stands in the most remote position, with a seemingly gentle smile, but his eyes are already hollow and dull.

He takes two steps back in front of the camera and hides behind another male artist, as if he feels ashamed to show his face in a variety show.

...... is indeed a disgrace.

The mysterious and notoriously bad Buddha, Dustless, Chi You's right-hand man in the metaphysical world, has turned into an entertainer to record a variety show.

Ge Wuchen didn't want to be in the spotlight, but he was too good-looking to avoid it. The host came over and jokingly interviewed him, "What made you want to come on our show, little brother?"

Ge Wuchen's smile stiffened, "This show is very meaningful."

The host immediately picked up on this, explaining in an exclamatory tone what the show was all about, and after a bit of sensationalism, went on to ask, "We have to do a lot of hard work on this show, such as chopping wood, shovelling pig manure, and going down to the ground ...... Are you up to it?"

Ge Wuchen: "...... I certainly can."

What can I do if I don't accept it.

Who told him to mess with Jiang Luo.

Outside the television, the crowd was silent as they watched Ge Wuchen's reluctant smile and the unmistakable image of a village in ruins in the background.

A few seconds later.

Ge Zhu: "Hahahahahahaha!"

Ge Zhu begins, instantly causing laughter.

The total duration of the show was an hour and a half and the crowd was glued to the television. When Ge Wuchen was shown, they laughed so hard that their stomachs and cheeks hurt together.

I don't know whether it was Ge Wuchen's bad luck or the show's special favouritism, but on the first day, Ge Wuchen was given the task of collecting horse manure. He is known as the Buddha's son, with a dustpan and a fork provided by the villagers, and a stiff smile from the beginning to the end of the village.

What's funny is that a lot of people in the pop-ups are feeling sorry for Ge Wuchen.

[Poor little brother, he's doing this job on his first day, look how blue his face is from the horse manure]

[Why would God do this to a handsome man? [Oooooooh]

[...... mixed feelings, this artist called Ge Jing looks quite with my taste, is a small fairy boy now, but once I see the small fairy boy is doing this kind of thing, the heartbeat is suddenly gone]

Ge Zhu, who was watching the pop-ups, couldn't hold back his laughter again, "Hahahahahahaha."

Others: "Pfft hahahaha."

After the show, countless messages were sent to Ge Wuchen's mobile phone, expressing their deep concern and encouragement.

The messages were completely murderous, just like Jiang Luo, who wished Ge Wuchen more and more success and that he would soon become the show's favourite.

Jiang Luo secretly expected a reaction from Ge Wuchen, but in the end none of them received a reply from Ge Wuchen. Liao Si told Jiang Luo that after receiving the message, Ge Wuchen locked himself in his room, turned his phone off and refused to receive any messages from outside.

The Good Life in the Country is a bi-weekly show and after watching the show on Monday, everyone was excited to wait until Wednesday. This time Ge Wuchen was even more unlucky, as he was drawn to clean a pigsty.

There were more sympathetic voices on the pop-ups, and another wave of jokes popped up, asking Ge Wuchen why he was shovelling manure again.

However, as the show progressed, it became clear that this artist, Ge Wuchen, always seemed to have a connection with dung, and the task he was given was always the dirtiest and most tiring. In the end, this has become a staple among viewers, with some of Ge Wuchen's own fans even commenting: [emm, brother is really a dung picker, so if you follow him, you can pick up dung until you become rich. ......]

[No, upstairs sisters, I think 'Prince of Shit Pickers' is a better name XD]

Somewhere in the bedroom.

An eerie blue glow hits Ge Wuchen's face.

Ge Wuchen's fingers tremble as he scribbles down the pages, looking at the comments one by one. His face is pale and haggard, as if he has not slept for days and nights.

Every time the show comes on, Ge Wuchen's mouth turns bitter and he wants to go to a primitive forest with no internet or signal.

He wonders how many times he regrets that he has provoked Jiang Luo.

Apart from this variety show, he was also forced to do a brain-dead idol drama in which he played the role of the second love interest, who sometimes went crazy and had to rant and rave at the female lead "why don't you love me". Those two months on the set have become Ge Wuchen's life nightmare.

Now he is afraid to go out and meet people with just a variety show.

What does Ge Zhu think of him? What does the rest of the metaphysical community think of him?

The more I think about it, the more heartbreaking it is.

It was only after a long time, when his stomach was protesting near the bottom, that Ge Wuchen stood up in a trance, barely managed to tidy himself up and forced himself to go out the door.

As soon as he reached the kitchen, he was greeted by Hua Rui and Liao Si, who were sitting at the dining table. The three stared at each other in silence for a few seconds, and I don't know who snorted out a laugh, "Here comes the prince of dung pickers ......"

Ge Wuchen: "......"
