Although everyone besides Jiang Li and Shang Shuyue was red-faced and drenched in sweat, it was clear that their spirits were much higher than those of any other team.
Even Jiang Yan, who was trailing at the very end, wasn’t in much better spirits. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
The two things he hated most in life were attending classes and running.
And lo and behold, both these tortures had been claimed by Jiang Li!
Jiang Yan really wanted to slack off.
But somehow, whenever he slowed down, a wild boar nearby would always angrily roar.
Instantly, he would remember that horrifying dream and pick up his pace instinctively.
In this way, he was forced to run for more than an hour.
[LOL, haha, is Brother Pig the young master’s cheerleader?]
[Can you tell Jiang Yan really attracts animals?]
[Wow, watching them has got my blood pumping, I can’t stand it, I need to start working out too.]
[The morning exercise check-in group is back in action!]
Finally, a little after seven o’clock, Jiang Li blew the wooden whistle hanging around his neck.
"Alright, that’s enough training for today!"
Upon hearing this, Shang Shuyue’s Bai Lu, who was at the front of the pack, came to a solid stop.
After unstrapping the weights from her limbs, Bai Lu stretched her legs and arms, appearing even more energetic.
"Running is so refreshing. It’s been so long since I’ve run with such joy."
Ever since Su Yinwan entered the company and she was marginalized, she had been desperately joining production crews non-stop for the past two years, either memorizing scripts or commuting for that very purpose.
Not only had her physical condition deteriorated, but even her mental state was much worse than before.
But after a good night’s sleep yesterday and this morning’s exercise, she felt completely refreshed, as if reborn.
Indeed, being near one’s idol and absorbing the nature’s spiritual energy was a wonderful feeling!
Shang Shuyue glanced at her and said, "You look so slight, I didn’t expect you to be able to run so well. I feel like I haven’t exercised enough. How about joining me for a few more squats?"
"Sure!" Bai Lu agreed without hesitation.
Behind them, Jiang Yan looked at the two starting to do squats as if they were insane.
"They’re crazy, all the women in this team are crazy."
Similarly slumped on a rock, Yu Li let out a long breath, pushed up his sliding glasses, and said, "Jiang Yan, it’s not nice to talk about others like that, is it?"
Jiang Yan, "Then you go do squats with them."
He’d rather write ten more papers.
After exchanging a look, the two of them got up and instinctively started walking toward the cave, in an unspoken agreement.
However, they were immediately followed by Jiang Li’s questioning voice from behind, "What are you doing?"
Jiang Yan turned around boldly and retorted, "I’ve completed the run properly, can’t I go back and rest?"
Jiang Li smiled, "My dear brother, have you forgotten yesterday’s bet? You and Shang Shuyue are in charge of today’s meals."
Hearing this, Yu Li quickly reacted, "Yes, Captain Jiang, I was just preparing to supervise him as he goes back to cook breakfast."
Jiang Yan: "Yu Li, you..."
Jiang Li retracted her smile and sternly said, "Also, I’ll say one more thing, currently we have no ingredients, and no points either, so you’ll have to figure out breakfast yourselves."
Jiang Yan: "I... fuck!"
A good wife struggles without rice, let alone him, who couldn’t even count as a good wife—where on earth was he going to conjure up breakfast from?
But there was no helping it, Jiang Li had already issued her absolute command, and today she wouldn’t deal with the food issue no matter what.
She wasn’t a normal person, she could endure a day without food, but he couldn’t.
He could drink himself to death in the glitzy Capital, but he absolutely refused to starve to death on this deserted island; it would ruin his entire life’s brilliance!
Jiang Yan, downcast, went to seek Shang Shuyue’s help, while Jiang Li turned and walked into the cave.
Yu Li followed closely behind.
Watching Jiang Li start to handle the tree stumps they had just chopped down that morning, he also quickly stepped up to help.
"Captain, what are you planning to do with these tree stumps?"
Jiang Li’s eyes were indifferent, "Make beds."
"Although the boar’s den is quite clean, this is still a jungle after all, insects are unavoidable, and we can’t always sleep on the ground," explained Jiang Li. "So I’m making a few beds to give everyone a more comfortable sleep."
Yu Li’s admiration for Jiang Li deepened, and he also felt fortunate about his choice.
Following her was definitely the right move!
In such circumstances, if the leader of other teams could ensure their members had food to eat and a place to sleep, it was already quite commendable. However, Jiang Li managed to perfect every detail on top of that, with precise arrangements, without ever complaining about her contributions.
Such a person was born to be a leader.
Yu Li admired her from the bottom of his heart, and thus his hands moved even faster.
Chinese medicine places great emphasis on sleep, even the bed in his home was custom-designed.
So while Jiang Li was chopping wood, he was sketching out the blueprints.
Jiang Li took a brief look and nodded in approval, "As expected of Dean Yu, the structure of this bed is very ergonomic. It shouldn’t be difficult to make, I’ll give it a try."
"[No but seriously, I laughed when Jiang Li said she’d make a bed. With just a few pieces of wood, she expects to make a bed? Dream on!]"
"[??? Is this for real, the bed that Yu Li designed is so complex, can she really make it?]"
"[Those in front playing along with the script are one thing, I want to see how they handle making a bed. They can’t just block the camera and drag a bed in from off-screen in the middle!]"
However, very soon these people were proven wrong one by one.
The logs in Jiang Li’s hands were quickly split into planks, and then she also made some wooden pegs. In less than an hour, the planks were pieced together, and the rudimentary form of an ergonomically designed bed was completed.
Yu Li was stunned while bringing the wood inside.
"This, this has been less than an hour, and you’ve actually finished making a whole bed?!"
Jiang Li stood up, her face showing no signs of emotional fluctuation.
"Mhm, it’s a bit slower than I expected, and this is my first time making a bed, so many details aren’t handled well... This prototype can be for Jiang Yan to sleep in."
"[??? Damn, Jiang Li actually really made a bed?!]"
"[??? Damn, I actually watched Jiang Li make a bed!]"
"[Awesome, this craftsmanship must be on par with professionals, right?]"
"[As a professional carpenter, the first time I made a stool, it took me an afternoon, and it fell apart in just a few days.]"
"[Assessment complete, the young master is indeed the most unfortunate one, having to exercise, cook, and only getting to sleep on the worst bed, hahaha.]"
