Chapter 26: One Trip Out and She Changed Her Heart

That kind of luck only happens once. Bears aren't stupid, and they've traveled far now.

If Chi Qian didn't want to come off as delicate and spoiled to the audience, she'd have to eat those bugs!

"Roar."

"Ooh-ooh!"

Sounds came simultaneously from the grass and treetops.

A black bear and a monkey!

Somehow, they had found her again.

The bear dropped four or five salmon at Chi Qian's feet—plus half a wild boar leg that looked freshly caught.

The monkey hung from a tree and tossed down something wrapped in banana leaves.

Chi Qian caught it with one hand—it was wild peaches and apples.

She'd casually said she liked peaches last time. The monkey must've remembered.

Everyone around her was stunned.

Shen Jiashu gasped, "Dad, did you see that? I told you Qian Qian's a forest princess!"

Shen Jing: Son, I didn't expect when you joked about monkeys delivering takeout, they'd actually do it.

Gu Hua stared, eyes wide.

What is wrong with these animals?! Is Chi Qian their goddess or their queen? Why are they falling over themselves to please her?

Do they have no dignity as animals?!

Her system chimed in: "...Could it be this female lead has a system too? Otherwise how does she keep doing this?"

Gu Hua snapped, "How should I know!"

She's just a supporting character! Why does she get this treatment?!

Chi Fengxiao hugged Chi Qian and ruffled her hair. "You really are Uncle's little treasure! Why do animals like you so much? Don't tell me..."

Chi Qian tensed. Was her secret pig-raising past about to be exposed?

"You're the reincarnation of the Monkey King?"

"...You're the monkey. Don't eat my peaches and apples!"

"Wait! Ctrl+Z! I take it back!"

While the group cooked and chatted merrily like they were on a picnic, Gu Hua's group sat miserably in the shade, like they were in the Arctic.

[I'm so relieved Qian Qian didn't have to eat bugs—who'd want to eat those anyway?]
[With Bear Mama and Monkey Bro around, there's no way our girl's going hungry!]
[Could she actually be the Forest Princess? That's the only thing that makes sense.]
[Come on guys, she was just joking. You really believe it?!]
[What if... the bear's just fattening them up to eat later?]

Not just the viewers— even the production team was baffled.

They had designed this segment to be a brutal survival challenge—force the glamorous stars to suffer, expose their flaws, provoke fights and drama.

Not to let them enjoy a camping holiday!

But ever since Chi Qian joined, the "high difficulty" challenge had turned into a retirement home simulator.

Unacceptable. The production team would not lose!

They refused to believe Chi Qian could handle what they had next...

Meanwhile, Chi Lisen had just finished a round of meetings. He casually clicked into the livestream and saw Chi Qian surrounded by food, living better than she did at home.

When Chi Fengxiao handed her a fish, he even removed the bones first.

Chi Lisen: "..." Another useless punk who can't keep her in line.

But when did Chi Qian and Chi Fengxiao get so close?

Didn't she used to say he was her favorite grandpa?

What, one trip out and she's changed her heart?

Kids these days—nothing they say can be trusted.

A while later, Chi Muzhe called.

"Dad, I saw Fengxiao brought Qian Qian on that survival show. Did you approve this? What if something happens—"

Chi Lisen said blankly, "She's being fed honey by bears and fruits by monkeys. Living her best life. What could possibly happen?"

"No. I mean Fengxiao's dragging her down. What if something goes wrong and he ends up getting her hurt?"

Chi Lisen was silent.

Chi Muzhe was silent.

And then, at the same time, one thought came to both their minds:

If Fengxiao's really that useless, they'll just break his damn legs.
