Chapter 29: Stargazing
Editor: Atlas Studios
They did not reject Auntie Watermelon’s good intentions, Yu Su and the others happily went to her house to enjoy their dinner.
As for whether to invite Yu Miao and the other three, the auntie was a little conflicted. After all, she was not familiar with the other four and did not prepare so much food.
Yu Su, on the other hand, expressed that the other four had already eaten and did not need to care about them.
Just as the auntie had said, she had prepared some local specialties. The few of them ate happily and fought to help the auntie clean up the dishes after dinner, but they were all rejected.
In the end, the few of them discussed and decided to cook a meal for the aunt and her son after some time.
After dinner, the production team did not assign any more tasks. That period of time was completely at their disposal.
Thinking of the tent they had exchanged for during the day, Yu Su looked at everyone and suggested, “Didn’t we agree to stargaze during the day? The weather today is not bad. Shall we go take a look?”
Meng Xi looked up at the sky. The sun had disappeared. Although it was not completely dark, there was already a crescent moon and a few stars.
Today’s work had left her aching all over. She wanted to go home, but without her phone, television, and other entertainment equipment, there didn’t seem to be anything to do at home. After thinking for a while, she nodded.
“Yes, there’s no time like the present. We are only staying for a total of seven days. The weather tomorrow might not be as good.”
“That’s right. Although I’m very tired, my heart is also very fulfilled. Let’s go home and get the tent now. The riverbank where we’re working today is not bad.” Yu Su said.
“That place is also far from the village. We won’t disturb others if we speak louder, but isn’t it too dark?” The riverbank appeared in Meng Xi’s mind. The environment was indeed not bad, but it was very dark at night. Wasn’t it a little scary?
Xiao Han thought for a moment and said, “There are lights on the tent. I looked at it when I took it today. This is easy to solve, but there’s no place to plug it in.”
“Then we won’t be able to go.” Just now, when she thought about how excited she was when they were camping, she felt very disappointed. However, Yu Su was still quite receptive. She couldn’t go this time, but she had to be prepared next time. If she had an idea in her heart, she had to put it into practice.
“What a pity. It’s rare to have such free time.” Meng Xi was also very disappointed. She did not manage to stargaze with her friends.
The few of them didn’t say anything else, but their footsteps became much heavier.
After a few steps, a staff member called out to them.
“Director Lin said we can provide lights.”
Director Lin listened to their conversation from the surveillance camera on the other side. He felt that this was a good thing. The starry sky, lights, and a few people chatting were not part of the previous parts. It might become a selling point for the program, so he generously helped them solve their problems.
“Really? Don’t tell me you want us to work more tomorrow?” Meng Xi was traumatized by the work. Ever since the show started, she had to work hard to get anything. She did not quite believe that the director would suddenly be so generous.
“Of course not.” The staff member smiled awkwardly, wondering if there were too many tasks assigned to them, causing them to be traumatized.
After receiving the staff’s answer, Meng Xi felt relieved. She quickly pulled Yu Su home to get the tent and carried her guitar.
The few of them arrived at the riverbank. Ding Chen had experience camping outdoors, so he took the initiative to set up the tent.
The others were not idle either. They helped the production team set up the lights. They did not call Yu Miao and the others, and the production team did not call them either. They had a feeling that if they called them, their heart to heart segment might be disrupted by another argument.
By the time everything was ready, the sky had completely darkened. The moon hung brightly in the sky, and stars surrounded it.
The few of them looked up at the starry sky and could not help but fall into a daze.
Usually, in the city, with the hustle and bustle of the day, they never seemed to have raised their heads to look at the stars. Even if they raised their heads, they probably wouldn’t be able to see such a dazzling and beautiful scene in the city that was lit up all night.
The small tent stood beside the riverbank. There were various decorative lights hanging on it, and beside it were the big lights prepared by the production team for lighting.
