After lunch, Fang Yan Huan surprisingly took over the task of washing dishes.
"Is the sun going to be really bright tomorrow?" Cui Man Tong leaned against Fang Miao Miao, whispering and chuckling in her ear. "Why has she suddenly become so well-behaved?"
Fang Miao Miao smiled and shook her head.
"Drink water."
"Thank you An An," Fang Miao Miao said, accepting the warm water handed to her by Wen Yan An.
Ever since Wen Yan An noticed her habit of drinking water after every meal, he would always bring her a cup of warm water after they finished eating.
"An An is so obedient," Cui Man Tong said enviously. "Miao Miao, how do you manage to raise such good children? Why don't you take Yong Si for a few days?"
Fang Miao Miao looked at the pouting Cui Man Tong, a mix of amusement and helplessness on her face. "Don't talk nonsense. Si Si is also a very excellent child. Like a big brother, he's looking after An An."
"Hehe, I think so too."
Fang Miao Miao: "........."
So it turns out it was all to hear her praise Si Si. However, she had to admit, ever since Shen Jia Ni and Wang Qing left, the entire show had become much more harmonious.
"How was your morning?" Chen Tian Ming asked with a smile as he walked towards them from the studio. "Children?"
"Fun," Cui Yong Si was the first to reply. "We caught so many fish."
"Is that so? Si Si is amazing then."
"My mommy is also amazing."
Everyone was a little surprised. Following the voice, they saw Ye Nan standing up, looking at them with determined eyes, and saying, "My mommy found a really big lobster today."
Even though she was scared and her cheeks were flushed, she still earnestly repeated herself.
Chen Huan had been watching Ye Nan closely while she spoke. With the intentional and unintentional guidance of the production team and these people, Nan Nan had indeed become much braver compared to before.
She had been worried that Ye Nan would fall back into her insecurities and sensitivity today because of Fang Yan Huan's inappropriate remarks. But now, it seemed that wasn't the case.
"That's right, Nan Nan's mommy was the best today."
"Let's all give Nan Nan and Nan Nan's mommy a round of applause."
The children happily clapped their hands. Ye Nan, embarrassed, completely lost the courage she had mustered to prove herself and turned to bury her face in Chen Huan's embrace.
"Hahaha, little Nan Nan is shy," Fang Miao Miao said with a smile.
"She's shy, she's shy, little sister Nan Nan is shy."
"Hahaha."
The base camp was filled with laughter and joy.
[This is so nice. I discovered that it's actually quite good to accidentally watch a variety show without any drama or arguments. The children are so cute. I believe that after the show ends, little Nan Nan will definitely regain her lost confidence. The Nan Nan from before was so heartbreaking to watch.]
[Yes, I found them all to be so understanding. That's why they kept teasing Ye Nan, and they would praise and encourage her after she made suggestions. After watching this, I realized I might have been a bit harsh with my own child. I must speak to my child calmly from now on.]
[Children are really sensitive. Adults might say a few careless words, but children will definitely remember them clearly. Don't ask me how I know. My mother often told me when I was little that she'd abandon me if I didn't behave. This has really left a shadow on me. I dream every night that I'm kicked out of the house.]
[Internet friend, hug! It's okay, everything will pass. What you need to do now is protect yourself, believe you are the best, and believe that the future is bright.]
"What are you all laughing at?"
"We're laughing because Nan Nan is shy," Wu Yue Yuan ran to Ye Nan's side. "But, Nan Nan, you're really brave. Yuan Yuan really admires you."
Shy Ye Nan, like a startled fawn, cautiously peeked out from Chen Huan's embrace and looked at Wu Yue Yuan. "Really?"
"Of course. Bravely expressing your own thoughts is a brave thing. I need to learn more from you in the future."
"Go play with them," Chen Huan said, ruffling Ye Nan's head.
"Okay," Ye Nan nodded obediently and placed her hand in the one Wu Yue Yuan extended.
After the adults had sunbathed on the beach for a while, they began to plan the tasks for the afternoon.
After listening to the few tasks, Fang Yan Huan was the first to express her intention. "I want to gather firewood."
"Are you sure? That's heavy work."
Not only did they have to find the wood, but they also had to carry it back to the base camp.
"Yes," Fang Yan Huan nodded, saying with an apologetic tone, "I did some things I shouldn't have this morning due to my own shortcomings, so I want to gather firewood."
"What do you all think?" Zhou Jia Xin asked.
Fang Miao Miao shrugged. "I'm fine with anything."
"Me too."
Chen Huan didn't say anything, but she nodded.
"In that case, it will be hard work for Yan Huan."
Seeing that no one was competing with her, Fang Yan Huan breathed a sigh of relief. She knew she had lost a lot of fans because of what happened this morning, and now she needed to change the audience's perception of her. That's why she chose to gather firewood first.
Then, if she accidentally got injured, her reputation would be restored. In the end, it would only benefit her.
Thinking this, Fang Yan Huan stood up more enthusiastically and walked towards the woods.
"Letting her gather firewood alone, isn't that a bit much?" Zhou Jia Xin frowned, looking somewhat worried. "Originally, I planned for us to first go together to collect some seafood and fish to ensure tonight's dinner, and then go gather firewood together."
"It's fine. Fang Yan Huan can scout the path first. We'll join her to gather firewood after we're done here," Cui Man Tong said, choosing not to expose Fang Yan Huan's intentions.
As far as she was concerned, as long as Fang Yan Huan didn't cause any more trouble, she wouldn't fuss too much about her intentional attempts to gain fans or anything of that sort.
With their decision made, the three adults and four children trotted towards the seaside.
"Wow, Miao Miao, your luck is incredible. Why don't you buy a lottery ticket? You'd make a fortune!" Cui Man Tong said enviously, looking at Fang Miao Miao's bucket.
They were in the same sea area, at the same time, yet Fang Miao Miao could find abalones and even squid all at once. As for her, she could only find some shells.
"Hehe, this," Fang Miao Miao looked at Cui Man Tong's resentful expression and could only shrug innocently. "I can't help it. Why don't you stay by my side?"
"Okay, okay," Cui Man Tong nodded happily and trotted behind Fang Miao Miao.
Thanks to Fang Miao Miao's amazing luck, they quickly gathered enough food for dinner, and didn't even have to worry about breakfast for the next day.
After returning to the base camp and resting for a while, they headed into the woods.
"It's a good thing we didn't bring the children. These weeds are taller than my waist."
"We've walked for so long and haven't seen any sign of Fang Yan Huan and the cameraman. Did something happen to them?" Zhou Jia Xin asked, sounding a bit worried.
"It shouldn't be, right? The director said this island is very safe," Cui Man Tong reassured.
As soon as she finished speaking, a pained "Ah" sound came from not far away.
The three exchanged glances and quickly ran towards the source of the sound.
