Parker sat steadily like a statue and merely shook his head.

Zhang Yu sat down beside him and comforted him. “Take it easy. The six days will be over in no time. Whether you’re happy or not, time will still pass. Why not make yourself happier?”

Parker continued sitting there woodenly. With a pleading look on his face, he shifted his eyes to the VJ who had been following him.

Before he even opened his mouth, the two VJs and Zhang Yu knew what he was going to say.

“I want to go home!”

Parker said, to no one’s surprise. The atmosphere was both depressing and comical, nearly making those present burst into laughter.

Zhang Yu quickly stifled her laughter and turned to face elsewhere to conceal her expression.

Parker knew that these celebrities were like him and couldn’t call the shots. The people filming were the ones who created this calamity, that was why he refused to give up.

The VJ was under immense pressure. After holding back for a good while, under Parker’s relentless pleas, he finally said, “Erm… I can’t make the decision. I’m just responsible for filming.”

This conversation would definitely be edited out. Mm, that must be the case. That was why the VJ spoke while feeling conflicted. According to the rules, they were supposed to be invisible throughout the entire process.

Parker stopped responding once more. Like a monkey, he squatted on the rock and gazed into the distance, looking listless.

…

By the time the burdenless male celebrities arrived at the mountain peak, it was already three hours later. Each of them looked like an old dog about to die from exhaustion. No longer caring about their image, they lay on the ground, not wanting to budge an inch.

Though the mountain was remote and not a single soul could be seen apart from them, the production crew wasn’t too heartless and had prepared clean water and firewood for them to cook.

Cooking in the wilderness was a novel thing for modern-day folks, and the celebrities were no exception. Hence, in the process, there were a lot of stories. Parker didn’t take part in all these, he only quietly sat on the empty plot of land, pretending to be a stone statue.

For the rest of the trip, it basically went like this—Parker wouldn’t participate in things that the ordinary people could do themselves. For things that ordinary people found difficult, Parker would take on the task without any complaints. This allowed his image to gradually gain points from the negative number it started out with on the first day.

These six days passed with him counting every second, until the day where he could return finally arrived.

Once the plane door opened, Parker was the first to dash out, nearly losing control of his speed.

When Zhang Yu gathered with the others in the airport, Parker had long vanished from sight.

Someone asked, “Where’s Parker?”

With a smile, Zhang Yu said with certainty, “He’s gone home.”

Everyone burst out laughing. “That fellow finally can go home!”

…

Having found out from Xu Qiyang about Parker’s schedule, Bai Qingqing had also come to the airport and was somewhere among the sea of people.

Suddenly sensing something, Bai Qingqing quickly turned her head and only caught a glimpse of a figure, before she found herself in a forceful embrace.

“Qingqing! I’m finally back!” Parker said in a choked voice, sounding as if he was about to cry.

Bai Qingqing instantly thought to herself: Oh no. Seems like Parker has been unhappy outside. When he’s unhappy, he gets wilful. And when he gets wilful, what’s going to happen to the program?

Having binged through a season of “Princess and Knight”, Bai Qingqing felt that it was quite a nice show, but she suddenly didn’t dare to watch the next season. She had a feeling it’d be unbearable to watch.

Parker held his mate tightly and lifted her off the ground. As the way they were so closely pressed together looked too intimate, it attracted a lot of gazes.

Curtis said with a cold face, “Still not letting go?”

Parker cast him a sideways glance before scoffing. But he feared him, after all. He set her down in the end.
