Nowadays, two factions are gradually forming online.
One supports the Huanming Brothers and Sisters, believing that their straightforwardness and sincerity are a breath of fresh air in reality shows.
The other canât stand the pairâs behavior on the show, thinking Lu Huan is taking money without doing work, and Lu Mingâs performance is too exaggerated.
[How could such a young child be so sensible unless he went through a sudden change? I wonât believe heâs like this without someone teaching him behind the scenes, growing up in a greenhouse.]
[Havenât you noticed that Jiang Qu is very normal when alone, even somewhat likable? But as soon as heâs alone with Lu Ming, he becomes irritable and loses control. Lu Ming really makes you think deeply.]
In general, the reputation of Jiang Lai and Jiang Qu has slightly improved, thanks entirely to Jiang Laiâs attitude towards tasks, which is that as long as you donât overdo it, you should push it to the extreme.
Of course, there are quite a few viewers who dislike Jiang Laiâs attitude.
They think sheâs making a big deal out of nothing, that she niggles over small details, and even go as far as to say Jiang Lai is the type of person they hate most in everyday work and life.
[Honestly, if I met someone like this at work, Iâd really find it annoying. It makes everyone tense. Why take things so seriously just to earn a living?]
[I just want to lie flat, I just want to be a lazy person, I hate people like Jiang Lai who work themselves to death!]
Because of this reality show, a viral choice question has even appeared on hot searches.
#AreYouAFlatLyingFactionOrExtremeWorkerFaction#
Jiang Lai only heard about it when Little Buding rarely came online, that there was such a boring poll online.
"I think you belong to the Chocolate faction."
Little Buding said to himself, explaining himself.
"Because youâre dark inside and out."
"Then you belong to the Egg Yolk faction."
"Why?"
"Because youâre yellow inside and out."
"Rubbish!"
Finally online once, the two continued their usual tradition, quarreling before anything else.
Jiang Lai didnât care about such things.
She didnât even feel that her recent exchange with Lu Huan was that intense; she was just honestly speaking her mind with great peace.
Lu Huanâs cherry jam was certainly not going anywhere.
But Jiang Lai wonât settle for less. She personally climbed the tree and picked a pot of cherries, boiled them with sugar, and after cooling, paired them with bread.
Taking a bite, Jiang Lai sighed.
This is life.
After all, she hadnât had cherries for so many years in the Beast World, as there were no seeds. After such a long time, savoring this sweet-sour flavor again brought Jiang Lai unprecedented satisfaction.
In the end, on the task card, out of the four groups, only Jiang Lai completed it.
The director himself didnât expect such an outcome.
After all, when designing this segment, the aim was to hype up Lu Huan and Lu Ming.
The brother diligent, hardworking, and responsible, the sister beautiful, funny, and amusing; hot searches were already bought, but this is indeed the result.
This leads to the hot search hanging on the list being somewhat awkward, with water army leading comments barely making waves.
Because of Lu Mingâs hand injury, the siblings only had bread for lunch.
Strictly speaking, it wasnât even bread, just a bun, and it turned hard once it cooled.
Lu Huan suppressed her depression and comforted her brother.
"Itâs alright. At least we have buns to eat. I know Little Lu is the best. Weâll try harder with the next task."
With these words, Lu Huan took a bite in front of the camera.
The bun was well-made but sadly too hard.
The previously imagined soft bread with cherry jam became merely eating a dry bun; though hungry, Lu Huan still had no appetite.
Thus she gave some buns to Han Li and Qu Yongjia.
Their bread was disastrous; not just eating it, even looking at it felt life-shortening.
Naturally, the two were repeatedly grateful.
Especially Han Li, while eating, gazed at Jiang Lai next to her, speaking not too loudly or softly.
"I feel like when everyone shares together, everything tastes especially good.
Anyway, Iâm not used to eating alone; itâs easy to get intestinal colic that way."
"This bun kneaded really nicely, Lu Huan, how did you teach your brother? Boys, I see others just know to eat and sleep all day, but how come Lu Ming is so sensible and capable?"
"Youâre so lucky to have such a wonderful brother helping you with this and that; seems the boys in your family have a lower status than the girls.
Unlike some families Iâve seen, the boys are complete Crown Princes, sometimes the sister serves like an old servant, and she even enjoys herself.
Itâs so laughable."
Lu Huan chuckled along.
"Some people are born to be cattle and horses; others treat them as such, and they gradually forget theyâre human."
The two chatted and laughed.
Occasionally sneaking glances at Jiang Lai.
How come sheâs not reacting at all? Wasnât she quite direct just now?
Yet the next second, Jiang Lai took off her headphones, looked at them and curiously asked.
"Whatâs up? Why are you looking at me?"
Feeling wronged, blocked at heart.
Both faces turned dark.
They bantered so long, yet Jiang Lai hadnât heard a single word!
"Where did you get headphones?"
Wasnât it said not to bring communication devices?
Jiang Lai took out the walkman from her pocket.
"This, doesnât count as a communication device."
It was an antique, no idea how the original owner got it, but the sound quality was decent, and most importantly, it insulated sound.
"This thingâs sound quality is great, once you put it on, you canât hear the dogs outside barking."
Saying this, the dog tethered in the farm barked twice.
Jiang Lai raised an eyebrow and smiled.
"See, the dog was just barking."
"How dare you insult!"
Han Liâs voice became sharper.
Jiang Lai looked innocent.
"What are you talking about? When did I insult? I only said the dog was barking just now, wasnât it? Wasnât the dog barking all along?"
"..."
[Hahahahahahah Iâm sorry, no intention to dislike Han Li, but itâs just too funny]
[Wasnât it Han Li being passive-aggressive first? Ended up subdued by a move]
[Dying of laughter, Han Liâs expression is better than her acting]
[Seriously? Jiang Lai has the right to insult now, doesnât she? Impolite, uncultured]
[I just honestly felt satisfied, if someone was passive-aggressively against me, I would hope to retaliate like Jiang Lai]
Han Li racked her brain to retaliate, but just as she was about to speak, Jiang Lai leisurely put back on her headphones, muttering.
"So noisy, guess the dog will keep barking."
Han Li: "..."
[Why argue with Jiang Lai]
[Role model, Jiang Lai is awesome]
[Does Jiang Lai genuinely not care about interpersonal relationships anymore? Those who admire her, is it that they donât want to get along well with colleagues in the future?]
[Doesnât even want to pretend, such selfish people]
