Everyone was working together. As soon as the goat was dealt with, Zhao Meng started to protest again.

“It’s so hot! I’ve been burning the fire for so long. It’s time to change shifts.” She wiped the sweat off her forehead and asked the others.

Mo Rao had just washed her hands and was about to rest. She had just helped deal with the goats and was drenched in sweat.

Qi Tuo and the others were still busy, so everyone ignored Zhao Meng.

Mo Rao pretended not to hear her and only took a sip of water before continuing to sit on the rock to rest.

“Mo Rao, you have nothing to do now. Take over from me. We’ll take turns to rest.” Zhao Meng stood up and went to Mo Rao.

“I’ve been so busy just now and I’ve just gotten a chance to rest. You were just warming the fire,” Mo Rao said coldly as she glanced at Zhao Meng.

Zhao Meng looked unhappy. “It’s very tiring to start a fire. It’s also very hot. Look, my hair is already drenched.”

Mo Rao didn’t fare any better. Her clothes were also wet.

Zhu Ye couldn’t stand it anymore. He said, “Zhao Meng, are you here to participate in the show or to vacation? From the time we hunted the goat until now, where have you been? You just appeared and started a fire. Mo Rao participated the entire time, yet you still have the cheek to tell her that you’re too tired?”

His words made sense, and countless people watching the live stream agreed.

However, Zhao Meng didn’t feel that she was in the wrong at all. Instead, she widened her eyes and retorted, “But I’m tired. When have I ever done such a task? I’ve been the apple of my parents’ eyes since I was young. I have a nanny to serve me when I eat at home. You guys should be satisfied that I lit the fire.”

Even if Zhao Meng wasn’t a celebrity, she was still a rich girl who had been pampered since she was young.

“Then why are you participating in this show?” Tao Hai couldn’t take it anymore.

“To play!” Zhao Meng replied matter-of-factly and glanced at Mo Rao. “I heard that before Mo Rao entered the Fu family, her family wasn’t that well-off. She must have done some housework or something. Whoever is good at it should do more. Isn’t that right?”

At the mention of the Fu family, Mo Rao’s expression changed.

Everyone knew that Mo Rao was Fu Ying’s ex-wife. Mentioning these things on the show would make her feel awkward. Zhao Meng did it on purpose.

However, to increase the popularity of the show, the director and the others didn’t stop her.

“Zhao Meng, if you really can’t stand the hardship, quit the program!” Qi Tuo couldn’t stand it anymore and rolled his eyes at Zhao Meng.

Zhao Meng’s face turned pale. “Did I say something wrong? Shouldn’t we do jobs we’re good at?”

“Burning the fire isn’t Mo Rao’s responsibility.” Zhu Ye retorted.

“Zhu Ye, why are you so agitated? Don’t tell me you like Mo Rao?” Zhao Meng realized that she couldn’t win against them, so she started to change the topic.

Zhu Ye did like Mo Rao a little, but he also knew that he wasn’t worthy of her, so he didn’t plan to say it. He would just silently protect Mo Rao.

When he heard Zhao Meng’s words, Zhu Ye’s expression changed a little, as if he was a little embarrassed. Mo Rao stood up and said, “Zhao Meng, you don’t have to deliberately say these words to make others misunderstand Zhu Ye. If you want to slack off, you might as well quit the show.”

Everyone was condemning Zhao Meng, which embarrassed her. She gritted her teeth and sat back by the fire to continue burning it. “I was just joking.”

She couldn’t leave the program, or she would look like she had been chased away.

Seeing that Zhao Meng had stopped, Mo Rao went to help Qi Tuo and the others.

By seven o’clock in the evening, everything was ready. The marinated goat had already been pierced by bamboo and placed on a shelf by the fire to be roasted. It could be turned by hand.

The mysterious guest star was also setting off from the foot of the mountain. In order to remain mysterious, there was no clear camera along the way. They couldn’t see that person’s face and could only see that he was wearing camouflage clothes that looked a little similar to Mo Rao’s.

Everyone was discussing excitedly who this guest would be. Mo Rao was also looking forward to it, but at the same time, she was inexplicably nervous.

“He’s here!” Tao Hai pointed excitedly when he saw the director and the others bring someone over.

The lighting wasn’t good at night, but the fire was very bright. Fu Ying immediately saw Mo Rao standing in the fire. She was petite and beautiful.

When Mo Rao saw who it was, she immediately frowned. In order to gain publicity, the photographer immediately took a close-up of her expression.
