Chapter 199 Why didn’t I realize she was so enthusiastic before?
Han Fei didn’t think it was Lu Siyuan’s fault that he didn’t recognize the blue-ringed octopus when he encountered it while fishing and almost caught it and cooked it.

In the wild, this is a very normal, albeit dangerous, situation.

None of the guests are professional. Without guidance and when they are extremely hungry, it is very likely that they will accidentally eat animals or plants that are harmful or even poisonous. This is the case for most ordinary people. Otherwise, there would be no need for the program team to prepare a marine biologist and a botanical expert.

Isn’t it because we have anticipated this situation that we are so well prepared?
Not to mention Han Fei himself, he felt that even if Ren Tuo, who claimed to have rich experience in the wild in the previous episode, came, it would be impossible for him to recognize every plant and animal. If he could do that, then he would not be Ren Tuo, but Bear Grylls or De Gee.

Therefore, what Lu Siyuan encountered is something that all other guests may encounter. If they use this to mock others, the possibility of getting slapped in the face is very high. No one can guarantee that something similar will not happen to them on the island.

For the same reason, at the beginning, the production crew still saved face for the audience and did not point out the existence of the blue-ringed octopus in front of the live camera. Director Li only used the danger of rip currents to remind Lu Siyuan not to get close to the waves through the loudspeaker.

Who knew that when Lu Siyuan was cooking at night, he suddenly brought up old things and used the program team’s precautions to take the blame for his own situation of finding nothing.

Who would be happy about this?

In any case, Li Wensheng would definitely not tolerate this. Not only did he not tolerate it, but he also threw the face he had saved for Lu Siyuan to the ground and stepped on it twice on the spot.

Although Han Fei and Xu Qing’an disliked this guy, they were angry this time, apart from their personal emotions, because Lu Siyuan had been grumbling since he returned to the shelter, and felt that the exchange of supplies was not reasonable. As celebrity guests, they needed to maintain their personal image. They were not really preparing to survive in the wild, so they still had to be responsible for their screen image.

It’s fine if you say it once or twice, but if you keep saying it, who the hell can stand it?
And it seems that this guy doesn’t know how annoying he is. Given his attitude of caring so much about his personal image, if he felt that doing this was wrong, he would never show it in front of the camera, but it is obvious that he thinks that this is not only not wrong, but also that managing his image well is a manifestation of his sense of responsibility to his fans.

“What do you mean, Han Fei? Did I want to encounter the blue-ringed octopus? Isn’t it possible that you guys won’t encounter any danger on this island?”

Sure enough, Lu Siyuan couldn’t bear it after hearing Han Fei’s words.

He could still endure it even when others scolded him, mainly because he was not in an advantageous position now, and his allies Zhao Mingtao and Shu Yi were also pretending to be dead. It was difficult to win an argument, so it was not impossible to endure it for a while.

But the one scolding him now is Han Fei!
Even if we put aside his hatred and resentment towards Han Fei over the years, the points on which Han Fei attacked him were vicious enough.

Han Fei scolded him for being irresponsible at work and used venom to lead his fans to bully him online. These two points are absolutely intolerable to Lu Siyuan. He had a fight with Han Fei today, and the one who got beaten was him, Lu Siyuan, but he could think of what was being said online.

His current reputation is already bad enough, and he absolutely cannot allow Han Fei to continue to slander him!
Lu Siyuan stood up and pointed at Han Fei’s nose and said angrily:

“I don’t know what the production team was thinking. After what happened at Cangyun Mountain last time, they still dared to arrange us to such a dangerous place. Since we just said that the blue-ringed octopus is so dangerous and poisonous, and this toxin has no special effect, then why did the production team arrange us to come to a deserted island?”

“If we can’t check for marine life, can’t we make a good plan and move to a less dangerous place?”

“You’re blaming me… I just wanted to get some rare items to exchange for supplies. Just because you don’t want the supplies I want to exchange, does that mean everything I do is wrong? Even the danger I encounter is my fault?”

“If the production team didn’t want to use me for effects, they should have told me directly that it was a blue-ringed octopus, instead of making excuses about rip currents. They waited so long to tell the truth when I brought it up!”

It sounds like it makes sense.

Even Qi Qingyi and Xu Qingan, who were firm in their dislike for Lu Siyuan, could not help but look at each other. They wanted to lend a hand but didn’t know where to start.

Han Fei sneered and was about to speak when he heard a calm and composed female voice next to him.

“The rice seems to be almost cooked.”

Nie Wenjin sat on the ground like everyone else, but what was special was that the ground beneath her was covered with several layers of clothes. Qi Qingyi helped her pack out thicker clothes from the suitcase for her to sit on. Nie Wenjin’s wheelchair would probably be used frequently these days, so she got her a more convenient and comfortable cushion.

As soon as she said this, all the guests thought she was trying to mediate the dispute.

Except for a woman whose mind was filled with female competition, the other guests were more or less willing to give Nie Wenjin some face, including Han Fei, Qi Qingyi, and Xu Qing’an. Even Zhao Mingtao felt that Nie Wenjin was one of their own under Wushuang and had the status to do so, so giving her face and letting her take control of the situation would not make things too ugly.

Even Lu Siyuan, after seeing Zhao Mingtao’s eye signal, had made up his mind to stop the fighting, and snorted coldly and turned his head away.

Just when everyone was ready to shut up, something they never expected happened.

While throwing firewood into the bonfire, Nie Wenjin said in a calm and composed tone:

“You can encounter danger anywhere. Didn’t what happened in Cangyun Mountain prove it? No matter how good the emergency plan is, there is always the possibility of accidents.”

“Among the guests on the last episode, my injury was considered serious, but I don’t think it was the fault of the program team. They have tried their best, but natural disasters and man-made disasters are unavoidable. Afterwards, the program team’s response can be said to be impeccable.”

“Choosing an island as the recording location for this episode may have its flaws, but as a deserted island ready for development, there can’t be any irrelevant people present. Lu Siyuan, do you think a deserted island is scarier? Think carefully before you answer.”

Although Nie Wenjin’s tone was very calm and she hardly stared at Lu Siyuan while speaking, in fact, the oppressive feeling her words gave Lu Siyuan was too strong.

The reason is very simple, even the audience who watched the previous live broadcast understands it.

As early as the incident on Cangyun Mountain, the identities of the two wanted criminals were fully exposed by netizens. The Changshan Municipal Bureau responded, and the official account of the program group also responded. It was because of the encounter with the two wanted criminals on the mountain that caused Nie Wenjin to be injured that the program group urgently changed the name of “Let’s Fall in Love! Big Star” to “Dear Roommate”.

At that time, netizens and fans scolded the program crew so vigorously and harshly, but even after the recording was over and the guests got their phones back, they still didn’t say a word. Why is that?
In addition to the need for confidentiality as the case investigation process has not yet been completed, there is really nothing that can be done about it.

The eight guests walked four different paths, but they all encountered snakes on Cangyun Mountain. It was not because the production team did not clean up the area properly, but because someone deliberately framed them. Later, they encountered a typhoon and two wanted criminals. It was really an accident among accidents. All natural and man-made disasters came together.

With this precedent in mind, the program crew now plays it safe and chooses an uninhabited desert island that is being developed as a filming location. They also equip it with a fairly complete medical team as well as animal and plant experts to prevent accidents. It can be said that they have physically isolated the possibility of man-made disasters.

Impeccable.

Even though this place is indeed very uncomfortable for the guests, it is already a helpless choice.

It’s better to suffer than to die, right?

Lu Siyuan knew that he couldn’t refute it, especially since these words came from Nie Wenjin’s mouth.

But he was unwilling to be taught a lesson by the other party in front of so many people and so many cameras. To put it bluntly, what ability do you, Nie Wenjin, have? Even if you didn’t cling to the thighs and sell yourself, does Nie Wenjin dare to say that he has not used Yin-Yang contracts and has not done dirty work for Wushuang Films over the years?
We are all the same, just doing things differently. How come Nie Wenjin can lecture me so righteously while I can only listen here like a stray dog? Why!
Under Zhao Mingtao’s gaze, which was as sharp as a knife, Lu Siyuan endured it again and again, but finally he could no longer endure it.

He stared at Nie Wenjin, his expression distorted:

“Why didn’t I know before that Queen Nie has such a good relationship with Han Fei and even speaks for him?”

Nie Wenjin looked back calmly, his eyes like a pool of deep water:
“Let me correct you. I’m not speaking for Han Fei. What you said just now was a bit unreasonable. You dragged the program team into the argument. I think this is unreasonable and will damage the image of the guests if it gets out.”

“Everyone is here to participate in this program because of a notice. Even if this is not a film set, we have to do a good job if we are paid. Jumping into a sub-zero pool to film on the set with the director is called dedication. When participating in variety shows and reality shows, cooperating with the production team’s arrangements is also dedication. There is no distinction between high and low work.”

“You said this about the production team. If someone takes your words out of context and misinterprets them, do you believe that the hot searches tonight will include terms like [Dear Roommate Guest Complains about Production Team Live] and [Dear Roommate Officials Are Not Human and Have Scammed Guests]?”

“Lu Siyuan, no matter what you are angry about, please respect the work of the production team and our colleagues, and don’t let the program that everyone has worked so hard to shoot become a joke. That’s all I have to say.”

For a moment, there was silence around the campfire.

Everyone looked at Nie Wenjin with strange eyes.

Han Fei naturally knew that she had been recruited and became a hidden chess piece and bait buried by the authorities among this group of people. He was not confused about her position, but was a little surprised that she would jump out so decisively to accuse Lu Siyuan, turning from a neutral or even Wushuang position to standing on the opposite side of Lu Siyuan.

Others did not know that Nie Wenjin had been recruited. Even Qi Qingyi only vaguely knew that Nie Wenjin was considered one of their own, and did not know what she had done for Wushuang Films. Miss Qi thought that Nie Wenjin stood up because she had a good relationship with her.

As for the unparalleled people…

Zhao Mingtao felt that there was nothing wrong with what Nie Wenjin had just said.

Lu Siyuan did have a lot of business and unreleased films on his plate, and scolding him in front of the live camera was a bit weird, and the impact was not good.

But if we allow this idiot to continue talking nonsense on the show, even if Han Fei shuts up and even if Nie Wenjin doesn’t show up, won’t netizens mock and scold him?
How can it be!

It is much better to talk things out on the spot, even if it is a quarrel, than to wait for it to ferment on the Internet before dealing with it. Nie Wenjin’s speech was very objective, and it can be imagined that netizens probably have the same attitude. The popularity of the show must be ridiculously high now. Even if many new viewers don’t know the specific details of the previous episode, they can find out everything by searching.

Zhao Mingtao is very familiar with the market trends. Judging from the current situation, Nie Wenjin is indeed the most suitable person to come forward and reprimand Lu Siyuan. Given her status, the audience will not think she is wrong. Lu Siyuan was also stopped in time. Even if netizens start to mock him, they will only do so for a while. It will not hurt at all. What is there to be afraid of?

It was much better than him showing up in person. He had already scolded Lu Siyuan this afternoon, and if he continued, it would probably have the opposite effect.

So, he even gave Nie Wenjin an admiring look——

Well done!

Among all the people, the only one who was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick, and even his breathing became heavier, was Lu Siyuan.

The world in which only Lu Siyuan was injured was achieved.

He was depressed for a while, and finally laughed out of anger:

“Okay, okay, okay, you’re all bullying me, right? You’re using me as a raft and letting me take the heat, right?”

“Okay, I’ll go. Isn’t it okay if I don’t get in the way here?”

After saying that, Lu Siyuan kicked the edge of the campfire and turned away.

His follow-up PD reacted quickly and was about to catch up, but was yelled at by the furious Lu Siyuan and dared not move.

Everyone watched his back quickly disappear into the dense forest of the deserted island at night, and no one said a word for a while.

After nearly a minute, Shu Yi suddenly stood up.

With a worried look on her face, she said to the PDs who were gathered around her:
“I’m quite familiar with him. How about I go look for him? There shouldn’t be any danger on this island, but if he runs to the beach, it’s so dark, it’s hard to say…”

“I know the production crew is worried about something going wrong. How about this, PD, come with me. When we find him later, stand a little further away. I’ll try to persuade him so as not to irritate him. Do you think this will work?”

The PDs looked at each other, with a million complaints in their hearts, but they held it back in the end.

Some people just like to be smart, what can they do?

no way.

When Shu Yi saw her PD nodded in agreement, she said hello to the other guests, told them to eat first and not wait for her, and then quickly walked in the direction where Lu Siyuan had just run away.

The remaining six guests sat around the campfire.

In the silence, someone sighed:
“I didn’t expect her to be so kind-hearted. Why haven’t I noticed it before?”

Everyone looked sideways——

The person who spoke was Shu Yi’s ex-husband-to-be, Xu Qing’an.

Han Fei immediately applauded:

“Good! Brother Xu is really good at complaining!”
