Chapter 1785 Survival Game 3
Cheng Xu: "Um, I can wash and chop the vegetables and help you out..."
"I...I can help out too," a voice weakly interjected.
The three of them turned to look, and saw a round nose, round eyes, and a round face...
Is this the chubby kid who lives across from their room?
The chubby boy stared longingly at the three of them, looking pitiful.
Three people: "..."
The three agreed to let the chubby boy join them.
The four of them worked quickly and efficiently, dividing the tasks and preparing dinner in no time.
There were many ingredients in the kitchen, and Liu Dong and Liu Yan specifically took the expensive and delicious ones.
Cheng Xu took a bite of the dish and gave a thumbs up: "Your cooking is amazing!"
The chubby boy nodded repeatedly, agreeing that it was indeed delicious.
Liu Yan laughed: "That's right, we've studied it specifically."
He and Liu Tong worked odd jobs everywhere during their winter and summer vacations.
I once went to the kitchen of a restaurant and secretly learned the chef's cooking skills.
The main reason was that they were young and orphans, so the chef wasn't wary of them and didn't hold it against them for secretly learning. He was a good person.
The four people grew closer because of this meal.
The chubby boy was initially a little wary of Cheng Xu, but after getting to know him, he found that Cheng Xu wasn't the kind of person described online, so he put aside his reservations and happily chatted with Cheng Xu.
The three of them also learned the truth about Cheng Xu's so-called "drug use".
Cheng Xu ran away from home. Because of his good looks, he was spotted by a director and cast as a minor supporting role in a TV series.
However, because the supporting character was very likable, and Cheng Xu was already good-looking, he became an instant star.
This led him to officially enter the entertainment industry.
Then, Cheng Xu witnessed the darkness of this industry.
Cheng Xu entered the entertainment industry all by himself, without any background or connections, but he was very lucky. He played several roles that were very popular with the audience, and thus he became famous.
How can those who have found financial backers tolerate this?
Soon, he was targeted with slander, but his company shielded him from the outside attacks because Cheng Xu could help him make money.
Cheng Xu's lips curled into a mocking smile: "But being framed from within is even more frustrating."
Cheng Xu didn't specify what kind of persecution was involved, but given Liu Qiu's understanding of the entertainment industry, she could guess.
The alleged drug use was exposed by Cheng Xu's assistant.
Who instructed this assistant?
Cheng Xu himself doesn't know, but someone will help him find out.
Cheng Xu's company thought he was just an ordinary person without power or influence, but little did they know that Cheng Xu did not come from an ordinary family.
His biological father is the CEO of a corporation and is on the Fox Rich List.
Their biological mother is a university professor, and their uncle is a government official.
Cheng Xu ran away from home and didn't want to use his family's resources, which made people in the entertainment industry think he was easy to bully.
Unbeknownst to them, although no one from the Cheng family had come forward, they had been secretly keeping an eye on Cheng Xu.
How could the Cheng family ignore Cheng Xu being bullied?
Cheng Xu was falsely accused of drug use, and the Cheng family began to investigate.
When the program boarded the cruise ship, the Cheng family had already investigated and identified the mastermind and the executor.
The Cheng family has already called the police.
The police have arrested a vice president of Cheng Xu's former entertainment company, along with three agents, several male and female celebrities, and the assistant who claimed that Cheng Xu was using drugs.
The evidence found by the Cheng family was very substantial.
Besides these people falsely accusing Cheng Xu of drug use, there is also evidence that some of them actually used drugs. And—
These drugs were all provided by that vice president.
He and his three agents used drugs to control the artists, which is a heinous crime.
The contestants' phones were confiscated by the production team when they boarded the ship.
Unable to contact anyone outside, the group was unaware of the uproar that had ensued online.
Now many people know that Cheng Xu was wronged, and they are lining up online to apologize to him.
Therefore, those players were all wrong.
Liu Dong and the other two's interactions with Cheng Xujie did not diminish their popularity with the audience; in fact, they gained considerable favor from them.
Cheng Xu has terminated his contract with the company. Faced with the unanimous online demand for him to leave the entertainment industry, he said: "I am not someone who gives up easily."
He participated in this survival challenge not for the money, but for the show's attention, hoping to use the show to turn his career around.
The king is back! Continuing his advance into the entertainment industry.
I never expected that two people would die just over a day after we boarded the ship.
Cheng Xu felt a little regretful.
He's afraid of dying!
Yes, the chubby boy has the same idea as him.
The chubby guy wasn't in the entertainment industry, nor was he there for the money; he was tricked into coming.
His sister thinks he's too fat and should lose weight.
But the chubby boy just loves to eat and doesn't want to lose weight.
His sister then signed him up for the competition, thinking that if he stayed on the island for a month, eating and sleeping poorly, he would lose weight after a month.
The chubby boy said bitterly, "I was tricked onto the boat by my older sister, and she ran away on her own. I only found out that I was participating in this survival challenge program after the staff explained it to me."
Liu Tong and the other two looked at the chubby boy with sympathy.
Liu Tong put the last fried chicken wing into the chubby boy's bowl.
The chubby boy was so touched: "You're such a good person!"
The chubby boy said, "Um, can I sleep in your room tonight? I won't disturb your rest. I'll bring my own pillow and blanket; I can just sleep on the floor."
These two people give him a sense of security.
The chubby boy has had a strong sense of awareness since childhood, and can sense danger before it comes.
According to him, after the cruise ship set sail, he was never at ease, always feeling that danger might occur.
The chubby boy said, "Don't you believe me? When I was twelve, I went back to my hometown with my parents and sister to visit my grandparents. One day, I suddenly felt uneasy and called my parents and grandparents out the door. Not long after, an earthquake struck our hometown, and many houses collapsed. Half of my grandparents' house also collapsed, but luckily no one was inside, so we escaped the disaster."
Cheng Xu: "Your premonition was really accurate!"
Liu Tong tilted her head.
Weren't all the so-called murders on this ship fake? They must have been staged by the production team to test the contestants' reactions.
No one died and there was no danger. Was this chubby kid's premonition really accurate?
Liu Dong and Liu Yan did not agree to the chubby boy's request; they still needed to cultivate that night.
Having another outsider would disturb them.
The chubby boy stared at the two of them pitifully, looking like an abandoned puppy.
Liu and his companion showed no mercy and refused to receive any outsiders at night, but they could play together during the day.
Dinner was again a meal for the four of us, consisting of just simple noodles.
The night was calm and peaceful.
