Chapter 372: Fans and Haters

The fans of Xie Minyu were full of curiosity when they saw Jian Yiling.

During the interview, Xie Minyu introduced Jian Yiling as his younger sister. However, he didn’t specify whether she was his sister or his cousin.

[Wow, Xie Minyu’s sister is so good looking.]

[Oh my goodness. So the female lead of the MV was Xie Minyu’s sister? It appears as though their genetics are top tier!]

[I’m so jealous. I want a sister like that too.]

[To be honest, I want a brother like Xie Minyu.]

[Why did his sister not bring any food with her? She’s going to starve on the island.]

[Yeah they are… Minyu doesn’t know how to cook. If there’s no food on the island, both of them will starve… They should have at least brought some biscuits!]

When the time ran out, everyone stopped picking their equipment and headed onto the boat.

Once on the boat, Jian Yumin took Jian Yiling to the deck. The two siblings watched the water and the view.

One of the other male guests came over and said: “Hey, let’s work together this time.”

Most of the celebrities brought along family members that seemed to be able to take care of themselves. They could be of help to the celebrities.

However, Jian Yumin was the only one who brought along someone that didn’t seem like she could help him much. In fact, Jian Yiling looked like she needed to be taken care of.

In the last episode, everyone already figured out that Jian Yumin was someone who couldn’t even take care of himself. How would he take care of his sister on a deserted island? The other celebrities were worried about how the two of them would fare on the deserted island.

As soon as the man approached them, Jian Yumin changed his position. His body was in front of Jian Yiling.

Then, he politely refused the other man’s kind offer:” Thank you for your kindness. However, I’d like to reject your suggestion. I can take care of my sister.”

Jian Yumin’s protective behavior was incredibly obvious. Messages started to appear on the screen:

[Oh my goodness, can you be any more obvious with the way you’re standing? You’re literally standing in the way of the two of them.]

[MInyu is overreacting today! Does he have a sister complex?]

[Wow! He’s so protective. I suddenly have a glimmer of hope that he would find a girlfriend in the future!]

[Yes!!! All of a sudden, I feel like he’s quite cute. I want to give him a daughter! I feel like Minyu will be a slave to his daughter in the future!]

The man who got rejected by Jian Yumin did not get angry. Instead, he smiled and continued to say: “Hmmm, if you’re thinking of finding someone to be an ‘ally’ with, remember to give me the priority. My brother and I are both tough guys. We have the strength to get work done.”

The man’s family member was his cousin. He was a strong and powerful man who could get manual work done.

“Mhmm, thank you,” Jian Yumin replied. Although he agreed on the surface level, in reality, he had no intention to work together with the other party.

Even if he did intend to work together with another party, he wouldn’t work together with these two men.

The comments began to tease Jian Yumin again: [I would bet a pack of spicy sticks that he’s only saying yes just because he wants to be polite!]

[Hahahaha, I honestly think that it would be better for Minyu to agree to their suggestion. It would be good to have two laborers on the island when your sister can’t do any of the work.]

Although Jian Yumin had a lot of fans, he also had quite a few haters. The haters came out to speak as well:

[This reality show is meant to test the guests’ abilities in various aspects. Despite knowing this, Xie Minyu still brought along a weak girl. Isn’t he just disrespecting the show? He’s merely trying to get more fans by relying on his sister’s face and the persona that he is pulling off.]

[Yeah, that’s right. He’s just trying to show off a fake persona. When he sees the camera, he tries to act all caring and protective. It’s disgusting.]

[Mo Shiyun isn’t fake like Xie Minyu! She doesn’t care what her mother looks like. In fact, she doesn’t mind showing her mother off in front of the cameras. She’s real and true to herself. Furthermore, she doesn’t have to act and pretend!]
