In the end, at Xu Fangfang and the others’ intervention, Xia Qingqiao finally gave up the idea of following them.
Gu Yanshu and Shen Jue took the long journey out towards the outskirts of Beijing.
By the time they arrived at Qingshan Province and drove further in, the view from the windows had already become more desolate. Once in a while, they would see some short and old houses, and their roofs were bare except for the snow on them. The fields and the valleys were also a sea of white.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, the car could no longer bring them up, so they could only walk to their destination.
Seeing the situation, the crew began their live telecast.

After the traumatic incident of being mobbed during the live telecast, Gu Yanshu was somewhat resistant against a live broadcast again. He raised a brow and asked, “Are we starting the live show now?”
“That’s right. We are going to comprehensively present the hardships faced by the people in this environment.” The PD following them, the VJ, as well as the script supervisor began preparing the equipment used for the live broadcast as they answered his question. In a rare instance, their expressions were serious, and when they replied, they even began discussing other issues. “Hey, why can’t the footage be linked? The image can’t be played.”
Gu Yanshu could no longer say anything else. He simply stood by the side, and when the chilly winds from the valley blew over, it was colder than usual. Unwittingly, he coughed a few times.
And so, the scene where one man’s hand was in the other’s body, while the other man was grabbing the first man’s hand, looking as though he was about to scold him, appeared on the screen.
In that instant, Gu Yanshu felt as though he wanted to jump down the mountain.
On the contrary, Shen Jue was calm. He continued to stick the heat packs onto Gu Yanshu, then took the packaging and waved it in front of the camera, before explaining nonchalantly, “Gu Yanshu is sick, so I’m helping him stick some heat packs on.”
“Fine, fine. We get it. Our minds didn’t run wild, it’s not like we know how to drive.”
“Thanks, Teacher Shen, for taking care of our Xiao Shu.”
“Xiao Shu still came to help the farmers even though he’s sick. He’s truly an angel with a beautiful heart and handsome face.”
…
Shen Jue looked at Gu Yanshu, as though he was saying, ‘See?I’m a good person’.
Gu Yanshu, who initially wanted to beat up a certain someone, could only give up and hide his sulky face within his collar and hat, then looked down and walked up the mountain.
The road up the mountain was steep and covered with snow and ice shards. Shen Jue followed closely behind Gu Yanshu, as he explained the situation to the audience while protecting the latter.
The family that they were going to visit was deep in the mountains, and there were only a handful of families around them.
The door was half covered, and Gu Yanshu only had to knock twice before the door opened.

He took a tentative step in. “Is anyone home?”
The moment he said this, the milk orange coloured furball rushed towards him hastily, all the way till it was just in front of him, then it collapsed with a small thud right beside his leg.
