The view outside was arge, t, green grass field that extended to a mountain range.The mountains
weren’t tall, but to those used to city life, this was still a breath of fresh air.After exiting the bus and
seeing the view, Amelie took a deep breath. “Fresh air!”“Come on, let’s take a look over there,”
suggested Fiona while pulling Amelie after hopping out of the vehicle.The others, too, ignored the
following cameramen and their cameras and ran toward the center of the field.Just like that, the area
where the buses parked fell silent instantly.Meanwhile, Leo held his phone impassively as he went to a
secluded area. “That girl back then, can you still find her?”“It happened too long ago, and a lot of
evidence has been deliberately wiped out. It isn’t an easy investigation. However, I did talk to the
attending physician who treated your eyes. He said he doesn’t quite remember what she looked like
anymore, and what he said was practically what he told you thest time—the girl’s father was a
shoemaker.”A shoemaker? Ellen’s father, Michael, is a shoemaker.It was indeed useless
information.He hung up the phone dryly and looked up to capture Amelie at first nce.The young
woman was snapping pictures of the surrounding scenery.Though he couldn’t make out her expression
hidden beneath the mask, something hit Leo with a thump, and he clenched the hand holding his
phone.If his memory served him right, Amelie’s father was also a shoemaker.With that, he strode
toward Amelie, who was oblivious to Leo’s actions. She remained immersed in the beauty of the
scenery.Bria will love this ce, she mused while taking more photos when Leo suddenly entered the
shot.He had a dashing face, and his chiseled outlines were impably good-looking. He was looking
right into the camera as though he wanted to creep into her heart through it.A thick, enigmatic emotion
surged beneath his eyes, and it had already reached the ignition point. One flick of a match, and it
would explode.Amelie’s heart skipped a beat. She nearly dropped her phone, for it was her first time
seeing Leo like this. What… What is up with him?The man wasn’t himself that day, and Amelie couldn’t
help being stupefied, only staring at him through the camera.For a moment, time stopped.Half a minute
later, Leo finally moved, reaching a hand toward her.Is he going to pull me toward him? Just as Amelie
was specting, another hand entered the shot, and a slender figure blocked the entirety of it the next
second.“Leo.” Ellen appeared out of nowhere and held Leo’s hand while giggling, looking innocent and
adorable. Her piteous look was long gone.“We’re camping today. I’m so happy!” She pped and
hopped with joy in front of Leo like a little girl.“I’m going to be sick!” Jodie shot Ellen a side-eye nce
with zero effort of concealing her contempt for the young woman as she approached the pair from the
other side.With that, she shoved Ellen aside and stood in front of her brother. “The crew wants us to
gather now. Let’s go.”Leo hummed a response, but he remained still and only gazed at Amelie.Amelie,
on the other hand, genuinely wanted nothing to do with them, so she hurriedly put her phone away and
rushed toward the bus upon hearing that they needed to gather up.A glimmer shed across Leo’s
unfathomable eyes before his eyelids drooped and he strode toward the bus.Meanwhile, Jodie red
warningly at Ellen before checking their surroundings for the camera crew. Seeing that no one was
following them, she taunted icily, “Don’t copy your sister’s ridiculous actions! My brother isn’t a trophy
you and your sister can give to each other, and the Alston Family will never ept low lives like you.
F*ck off!”Terrified, Ellen balled herself up and stared timidly at Jodie. The woman loathed Elyse and
disliked Ellen as well, so she wanted to throw up even more when she saw Ellen’s reaction.“Did you
not hear me? I told you to f*ck off! I won’t y nice the next time I catch you approaching my brother!”
With that, she pointed far away. “See that? My brother’s interested in Foxy. A sl*t like you isn’t even
worthy of holding a candle for Leo!” With that, she strutted away condescendingly.“As all of you can
see, we’re camping today,” the hosts announced the theme for the day beside the bus.“No
challenges?” Lilith asked quizzically.Usually, the crew would arrange a difficult challenge for
them.“Nope.” The two hosts shook their heads, appearing incredibly guilt-ridden.Everyone couldn’t help
ncing at each other.“Why does it sound too good to be true?”“Has the crew given up on messing
with us?”“Since when have they be so humane?”Everyone teased benignly.After all, it was an
open secret that the ‘Show Your Love’ crew loved to give the celebrity guests a hard time on the
show.Meanwhile, the hosts exchanged a nce and pointed toward a few camping carts aside. “These
are your supplies. Team A and B will get the same things.”With that, they hopped into the vehicle
speedily and waved everyone goodbye.After the door closed and the vehicle drove away, the two hosts
finally heaved a sigh of relief and looked at each other.“What a relief.”Thank goodness they sped
away.Back on the field, everyone looked at each other for a while, but they still couldn’t figure anything
out.Fiona reacted quickest to the situation and tugged on Amelie. “Forget about guessing. Let’s pull all
the stuff out so that we can assign the work.”It was clear that they had to improvise when they didn’t
even pick a leader for the team this time.“Why waste time instead of making the most out of this?!”
Gordon echoed and joined the twodies in carrying the equipment.It was only right that they enjoyed it
to the fullest when they not only got to go out for some fun but also earned a few bucks from it.The
others, too, returned to their teams without thinking and helped pull everything out from the carts.There
were honestly quite a few things in there—tents, foldable chairs and tables, and all sorts.What was
more, the crew even provided them with a portable stove, pots and pans, bowls, and a camping
grill.“Wow, we’re going to have a great time today.” Ss grinned while rubbing his hands
together.Simrly, Fabian chuckled as he moved toward the cart storing their food. “Let’s see what we’ll
be feasting on today.”“It’s surely barbecue. This is my forte. Just sit back and watch this pit master cook
up the best barbecue you’ll ever have,” boasted another male guest in their group as he followed
Fabian to the food cart.The two removed the dark green linoleum, and sure enough, arge white
container appeared.It was a rectangr type that could store more than ten pounds of food.Everyone
apuded upon seeing it. However, Fabian and the male guest stood frozen stiff with strange
expressions.“What’s wrong? Is it too heavy for you guys to carry? Come on, I’ll do it!” Lilith rolled her
sleeves up and strode toward the two, only to blurt out a cuss, “What the f*ck?!”Everyone’s first
reaction was to look toward the camera crew around them. Has Lilith given up on maintaining her
image?“What the heck?! Howe all we get is arge bowl of dry pasta?!” someone from Leo’s
group shouted, leading the camera crew and everyone else to look in that direction, only to find Jodie
holding arge bowl in front of the food cart.Inside the bowl was indeed pasta.“What is the meaning of
this?! You guys invited us to join your stupid show, yet all you give us is a bowl of dry pasta?! Do you
want to starve us to death?!” Jodie’s bratty attitude came out, and she threw an exasperated tirade at
the camera crew without even caring about her image anymore.The camera crew, on the other hand,
silently put their equipment away since whatever they captured would be deleted anyway. After all,
who’d dare to broadcast Jodie cussing?Meanwhile, Amelie and Fiona approached the food cart when
they saw therge bowl in Jodie’s arms.Their ingredients were no different from Jodie’s. Therge bowl
was all there was in therge container, and the bowl was cling-wrapped to prevent the pasta from
spilling everywhere. What can anybody do with nothing but a bowl of pasta?!
