Xia Xin and Jing MO wore identical furrowed brows; it was obvious that she didn't want to agree. Not one to let her refuse, Lu Shi got up, intending to walk over to her. She interjected, “I don't have the time, sorry.”

“We could use the time when we're filming the show to have a quick lesson,” Lu Shi retorted.

“Maybe you don't get it, but what I mean is that I'm not interested,” Xia Xin said, her gaze indifferent as it met Lu Shi's.

Lu Shi paused mid-step, his face darkening. As the son of a wealthy family, he was used to getting what he wanted, both in the entertainment industry and at home. No one had ever refused him like this before. Well, perhaps someone had—but no more than once. Those women knew that he was impatient, or perhaps they were just trying to catch his attention.

Undeterred, Lu Shi asked again, “Ignoring me, are you? Is Miss Xia harboring such malice towards me upon our first meeting?” Suddenly, the direction of the live comments shifted.

[What's up with Xia Xin?]

[Exactly, our Lu Shi asked her politely, and she's acting like this?]

[Lu Shi is such a gentleman, he must be heartbroken.]

[Is Xia Xin playing hard to get?]

Comments criticizing Xia Xin flooded the screen, much to the director's delight. More drama meant higher ratings, after all.

“Lu Shi, if you're having trouble understanding, I can repeat it for you,” Jing MO interjected.

Lu Shi's expression stiffened momentarily, a shadow flickering across his eyes. Facing Jing MO, he knew better than to act arrogant. Even with the power of his family backing him, he dared not openly confront Jing Mo. So, Lu Shi chuckled, “No problem. When you have the time, we can talk then, Miss Xia.” With a casual shrug, he leaned back into his sofa.

“Alright, everyone has gotten to know their team members, so let's move on to the rules of the game. The theme is still about communicating with animals, but to align more closely with it, we've decided to film this episode on a small island. The main task is to survive on the island for eleven days, and the secondary task is to rescue animals. The evaluation will be based on the completion of the secondary tasks.

“You will not be provided with any supplies, and you're free to choose whether to complete the tasks as a group or individually,” the director paused to read the expressions of the participants before adding, “Any questions?”

“Me.” Tian Mei raised her hand like a well-behaved schoolgirl. “Does that mean we have to manage everything on the island? Are there any facilities for us to bathe, or will someone cook for us?”

The director sighed internally, 'Why had I agreed to include Tian Mei? This Tian Mei seemed to be brainless. I had already said that they were going to live on the island for eleven days. This is a survival on a deserted island show!'

Tian Mei was baffled. She thought, 'My agent had told me this is a return-to-nature show with animals. When did it become a survival show?

Aren't we going to choose a small animal for the first episode?'

“Can I bring my personal assistant to the island to assist me?” Tian Mei inquired.

“If you can't manage, you're welcome to drop out. We have substitutes,” the director's tone grew cold.

Tian Mei seemed to be asking for special treatment, and the director wasn't pleased.

“No, what I meant is, I have other work commitments. I'll need my assistant to help manage those,” Tian Mei quickly realized she was on live broadcast and feigned vulnerability.

[We feel for you, Tian Mei. You have to live in such harsh conditions and are worried about your work.]

(Tian Mei is so strong, not even forgetting her job under these circumstances. ]

[Take care of yourself, Tian Mei, don't only focus on your work.]

[Yes, darling, take good care of yourself. We'll be heartbroken if you fall ill.]
