Ling Shuangjiang smiled and casually took out a few and gave them to the two of them: "You can take them, I have plenty here."
"I have one too?" Huang Shan was somewhat surprised, holding the mosquito repellent bag. After all, her relationship with Ling Shuangjiang wasn't like Shen Ke's; there was a classmate bond between them. "Shuangjiang, did you buy this or make it yourself?"
Ling Shuangjiang: "I made it myself."
Huang Shan's smile faded: "That's amazing!"
In order to ventilate the RV as soon as possible, the two hurriedly returned to their own RV, at which point Xie Wang boarded the vehicle to visit.
Ling Shuangjiang turned around and saw Xie Wang holding a cardboard box, his expression serious. She lowered her eyes curiously and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xie Wang handed it to him: "A return gift."
Realizing Xie Wang's intention, Ling Shuangjiang looked at him and said, "It was nothing, no need to be so polite."
"Take this. Your mosquito repellent bag is exquisitely made, and I can tell that you put a lot of effort into it. I'll also give you a gift to express my appreciation."
[Wow, it's time to exchange gifts!]
[What kind of gift is it? Judging from the box, it looks like some kind of instrument.]
[They're so sweet together.]
Seeing his insistence, Ling Shuangjiang said, "Alright, I'll accept it then, thank you."
But the moment he reached out and took the box, a dull thud rang out.
He lost his grip, and the cardboard box fell to the ground.
Ling Shuangjiang's cheeks flushed a light pink as she frowned and asked, "What is this?"
Xie Wang: "I brought 10kg dumbbells, I'll give them to you."
Ling Shuangjiang: "10kg...dumbbells?"
Xie Wang nodded, opened the cardboard box, picked up the dumbbells and began to lift them horizontally. With each demonstration, the beautiful muscle lines of his arms were fully revealed, full of hormones and strength.
His eyes were serious: "It's good for our health if we men exercise more."
[Hahaha, this is hilarious!]
[10kg dumbbells? Man, are you kidding me?]
[The fourth male lead is a straight man, just like us men—]
Men definitely need to exercise more; it's good for their health.
Recalling the long journey, Ling Shuangjiang lowered her eyes and chuckled softly: "You brought the dumbbells all the way here, that's quite manly of you."
The unanimous response from the viewers was: Hahahaha.
The production team told the guests that the toilets in the RVs needed to have their water supply turned on before they could be used, and that the guests would need to go to a nearby public toilet before that.
Seeing that there was still time, Xie Wang asked Ling Shuangjiang, "Going to the restroom? It's about to start."
Ling Shuangjiang nodded: "That works too."
After saying this, the two informed the production crew and quickly headed to the nearby restroom.
On the way, Ling Shuangjiang and Xie Wang were standing not far apart, and she happened to see the object in the center of the black rope on his wrist.
In just a few seconds, he felt that the thing looked strangely familiar, as if he had seen it at some auction.
Although I've forgotten the specific name, the lowest price at that auction was 100 million.
Having a net worth of one billion does not necessarily mean having one billion in liquid assets; it may include various real estate properties, stocks, and companies under one's name.
Therefore, someone who can bid on competing items worth hundreds of millions must have a net worth of at least tens of billions.
Of course, it's also possible that the gift was given to you by someone else.
Ling Shuangjiang turned her head slightly and glanced at Xie Wang, a smile playing on her lips. It seemed the production team was deliberately creating a false impression, using a foreign name to intentionally lead everyone to guess that Qi Yu was the mysterious big shot, with a twist later on—all for the sake of entertainment value.
Xie Wang had one hand in his pocket. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Ling Shuangjiang staring at him. He turned to look directly at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ling Shuangjiang said half-jokingly, "There are little flying insects in your hair."
Xie Wang immediately frowned and carefully dusted off his hair: "Is there anything else?"
Ling Shuangjiang: "That's all."
Xie Wang: "I tend to attract bugs."
Upon arriving at the restroom, Ling Shuangjiang was slightly taken aback by the facilities inside.
Although the restroom here was very clean, it wasn't like he had imagined, with partitions between the urinals. Instead, all five urinals were exposed and could see each other.
Xie Wang had already gone inside and calmly began to unbuckle his belt. Ling Shuangjiang felt a little awkward for a moment, turning her back to the outside and remaining motionless.
Xie Wang looked at him: "Aren't you going to get on?"
Ling Shuangjiang: "Mm."
Xie Wang: "It's like you only came to keep me company."
Ling Shuangjiang smiled casually, and only turned around slightly after hearing the sound of the metal buckle on her belt: "It's nothing for us men to go to the toilet together."
Xie Wang's gaze fell on the color of his lips, and she was slightly distracted.
They're quite popular.
Her lips are beautiful too.

Not long after, the pairing game for the evening began. All the guests gathered in front of the beach, where a helicopter was about to take off.
The director smiled and said, "The rules are simple: whoever can fly this helicopter to the detached manor on the island will have the right to choose first and leave with their favorite guest."
The moment this message was played, the live chat exploded with comments.
[Guest: Director, if you want us to live in the RV, just say so. No need to beat around the bush.]
[This? Who can fly a helicopter?]
Even if you have the money to buy one, you probably wouldn't drive it yourself, right?
[Pass, nobody's going tonight.]
From the audience, Lin Xueer complained, "I was hoping to see the manor tonight, but I'm afraid that's not going to happen."
Lu Shaoheng: "Indeed."
On the beach, the guests were full of complaints. Wen Ai, in particular, looked miserable and was extremely unwilling to stay in the RV.
"I'd rather live in a tent than in a campervan," Wen Ai complained softly.
The director naturally knew that very few people could fly helicopters, so the production team also prepared a second plan.
If the guests successfully pass the test, they will also gain the privilege of visiting the manor.
"It's okay, we still have a second one—"
"I'll do it." Xie Wang's deep voice came from the windy and wave-filled beach. Before anyone could react, he had already strode to the helicopter door.
Facing the gaze of the crowd, he leaped into the cockpit and landed steadily, his lean waist and long legs drawing attention.
Ling Shuangjiang looked up at him, her gaze becoming somewhat focused.
The director frowned in confusion: "Uh...you..."
Inside, Xie Wang had already put on his earmuffs and sunglasses with practiced ease, casually glancing at everyone: "I have a driver's license and four years of driving experience, so don't worry."
[Damn it, he got me!]
[The fourth male lead can actually fly a plane?]
[Wow, so handsome! That waistline and those endlessly long legs!]
Director: "Which guest would you like to choose to go to the island with you?"
Xie Wang stared at the director, his voice cold: "Can I go by myself?"
At the same time, almost all the guests were stunned and shocked by his decision.
Lin Xueer, who was watching the live broadcast, was shocked: "OMG! The fourth male lead is so unique, the first of his kind in the history of dating reality shows!"
Ling Shuangjiang smiled faintly, finding Xie Wang to be quite an interesting person.
Just as the director was wondering how to refuse Xie Wang, the helicopter's rotors started up, followed by a roar. Xie Wang calmly closed the cabin door and drove the helicopter away.
The comments section was practically bursting with laughter.
[Modo, modo, the fourth male lead is here to cause trouble.]
[Director: Listen to me, thank you...]
[Is the fourth male lead really not a participant in this dating reality show? He doesn't seem like he's actually interested in dating at all.]
[Male character number four, determined to take this slacking off to the extreme.]
The director clutched his chest, feeling a heavy weight on his heart: "Call him right now and tell him to come back!"
Just as the staff were about to contact Xie Wang, the helicopter that had been there earlier suddenly turned around and flew back like a shadow.
As the plane landed, Xie Wang took off his sunglasses: "Just kidding, I was just going to get a feel for the controls."
The director twitched the corner of his mouth.
That's a really scary joke of yours.
Next up was the first segment of "Love Signals" where participants chose their favorite guests. All three female guests looked at Xie Wang, especially Wen Ai, who completely lacked the enthusiasm she had for Qi Yu and was wholeheartedly waiting for Xie Wang to make his choice.
Since Xie Wang is straight, he will definitely have to choose one of the three female guests.
Xie Wang, who had put his sunglasses back on, pursed his thin lips, making it impossible to see his expression. All that could be seen was his strong jawline.
After a long pause, he said in a cold voice, "Ling Shuangjiang."
Would you like to get on my plane?
