Shen Mo opened her mouth, but in the end chose to keep quiet. She wanted to get closer to Lin Xiaoxiao, not to make the other person dislike her.
Since Lin Xiaoxiao has already said so, if she insists on speaking up, she'll just be asking to be disliked.
Seeing that Shen Mo finally shut up, Lin Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes in satisfaction. This Shen Mo was really annoying with her chatter.
Lin Xiaoxiao was even more disgusted by what she said to Tang Xue. She always felt that there was something hidden in Tang Xue's words. She hated people who spoke in a roundabout way and were not straightforward.
Ugh, this Shen Mo is so annoying! Before she came over, President Lin and Miss Tang Xue were whispering to each other, and the atmosphere between them was so sweet.
When she arrived, she started by saying something sarcastic and unpleasant, making it impossible for Miss Tang Xue and President Lin to exchange any sweet words.
[Sobbing, I'm so sad. I came here to ship couples, not to watch bad guys break them up.]
With Chen Mo joining them, the group stopped talking about anything else and quietly focused on fishing, their eyes fixed on the lake.
Because Lin Xiaoxiao was injured, it was inconvenient for her to fish with one hand. Every time a fish took the bait, Tang Xue and Xiao Yu would help her pull it up.
This scene made Shen Mo, who had been mostly ignored, somewhat unhappy.
This act of excluding her naturally fueled her anger, but because she wasn't by Lin Xiaoxiao's side, she couldn't offer to help.
And so, the somewhat strange atmosphere among them persisted until the fishing trip ended.
"Come on, come on, let me see if I'm number one, and how many fish did everyone else catch?"
As soon as the fishing trip was over, Shenyang couldn't wait to call everyone together to see what they had caught.
"I caught six," Chen Xingyu was the first to speak. "My skills aren't great, so I didn't catch many."
"Then I must have caught the fewest." Lin Xin smiled. This was also her first time fishing, and she only caught four fish.
“I caught seven,” Xiao Yu said. “That’s one more than Teacher Chen.”
"You young people are really reliable," Chen Xingyu said with a smile.
Lin Xiaoxiao looked into her own fish trap. "I don't have many either. I only have six, just like Teacher Chen. But all six of them were caught by Xiaoxue and Xiaoyu. Maybe I should give them half of them."
Xiao Yu waved her hand, "The fish taking the bait is all thanks to President Lin. I only helped you pull it in once or twice. The rest is all thanks to Teacher Tang."
Lin Xiaoxiao grasped Tang Xue's hand and said with a smile, "Then these few will belong to Xiaoxue. In that case, Xiaoxue will have twelve."
Yes, Tang Xue caught six fish just like her. Lin Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes, her eyes shining with happiness. The fact that they caught the same number of fish only proved that she and Tang Xue were the most suitable match.
"What are you laughing at?" Tang Xue shook Lin Xiaoxiao's hand, looking at the silly smile on Lin Xiaoxiao's face, and poked her with a puzzled look.
"I'm happy." Lin Xiaoxiao grinned, showing Tang Xue her pearly white front teeth.
Tang Xue chuckled, tightened her grip on Lin Xiaoxiao's hand, and a gentle smile appeared on her face.
[This scene is so pleasing to the eye! I love seeing Tang Xue and President Lin all lovey-dovey.]
[I just want Chen Mo to leave as soon as possible. With her around, I can't even enjoy watching a show; it's unpleasant and upsetting.]
There's nothing we can do about it; we'll just have to bear with it. Shen Mo can't leave until this episode is over.
[This Chen Mo is so annoying. I see her trying to get close to President Lin again. Is she blind? Didn't she see that President Lin's arm is injured?]
Tang Xue pulled Lin Xiaoxiao from her right to her left, and her face darkened when she saw Chen Mo who had just come closer.
Tang Xue is quite annoyed with Shen Mo right now. Even if you want to get closer to Lin Xiaoxiao, please take a look at the current situation.
Even though he knew Lin Xiaoxiao was injured, he kept moving closer to the injured area.
Tang Xue pursed her lips, but couldn't help but say, "Chen Mo, your little arm is injured. Could you please be a little more careful? Could you please not keep standing near her injury and keep your distance from her?"
"What do you mean by that?" Shen Mo, who was already very unhappy with Tang Xue, immediately exploded when she heard Tang Xue's words.
Nothing she did today went smoothly, and she had been holding back a lot of anger. Tang Xue's words ignited that anger within her.
What do you mean she shouldn't get close to Lin Xiaoxiao? What do you mean she should keep her distance from Lin Xiaoxiao? Who does she think she is, that she has to listen to what she says?
"I didn't mean anything by it. I just hope you can be a little more careful with Xiaoxiao's arm. If you accidentally bump it, Xiaoxiao will be the one who feels uncomfortable."
Tang Xue had a cold face, and she no longer wanted to maintain the so-called friendship with Chen Mo.
For Lin Xiaoxiao's sake, she will likely have many interactions with Shen Mo in the future. Tang Xue doesn't care if things fall apart.
As for how the viewers of the show would view her, Tang Xue didn't have the extra energy to consider those things.
After all, in Tang Xue's heart, Lin Xiaoxiao was the most important person, and as for herself, she was second only to Lin Xiaoxiao. Even if the audience disliked her, Tang Xue would still do what she was supposed to do.

Chapter 103
===================
The confrontation between Tang Xue and Shen Mo made the atmosphere on the ship somewhat tense. Lin Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, just about to speak, but someone spoke first.
"Teacher Tang makes a lot of sense." Shen Yang wasn't exactly a perceptive person, so he didn't see through the power struggle between the group at all.
He felt that Tang Xue's words made a lot of sense. Lin Xiaoxiao was currently injured, and they had seen the injury on Lin Xiaoxiao's arm before.
Knowing that Lin Xiaoxiao was seriously injured, it was natural to keep a distance from her. It wouldn't be good if they accidentally bumped into each other.
Shen Mo glared at Shen Yang. She just couldn't understand why this guy was everywhere.
"Xiao Tang is right. Xiao Lin is injured right now, so we need to be extra careful."
Once Shen Yang spoke, the others followed suit, believing that Tang Xue's actions were not problematic.
Among all the people here, Tang Xue and Lin Xiaoxiao are the closest, so it's understandable that she's worried about Lin Xiaoxiao.
Besides, any normal person would instinctively keep their distance when they see Lin Xiaoxiao injured, but Chen Mo is the only one who keeps getting close to her, which is quite frustrating.
When Chen Mo looked around, she saw that everyone was on Tang Xue's side and no one was saying a word for her.
She glanced at Tang Xue, gritted her teeth, but ultimately said nothing. With everyone on Tang Xue's side, anything she said now would be useless.
"The production team said before that we could exchange the fish we caught for their food, but I don't know what the exchange ratio would be?"
The group already had a bad impression of Shen Mo, so naturally they wouldn't offer to comfort her at this moment.
What they're really concerned about now is how much food they can get from the production crew after leaving the fish they caught for their night's rations.
"Brother, what's the ratio of ingredients your production team uses for the exchange? How many different kinds of ingredients are exchanged?"
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the staff behind her who were constantly avoiding the cameras.
"Vegetables are grown in the vegetable garden behind the yard, so the production team will exchange some meat with you. The things we can exchange include chicken, duck, ribs, cured meat, shrimp, and crab."
"Hmm?" Lin Xiaoxiao tilted her head. "The variety of items that can be exchanged is quite complete, but what is the exchange ratio? Don't tell me that it takes ten fish to exchange for one chicken."
The staff member opened his mouth, but Lin Xiaoxiao's words directly countered what he wanted to say. That's right, what he originally wanted to say was that ten fish could only be exchanged for one chicken or one duck.
"No way, your production team is really planning to trade with us at this ratio? That's a bit too much of a rip-off. Ten fish for one chicken? You should at least give us two."
Lin Xiaoxiao looked incredulous. "We came here to fish right after lunch, and it's already six o'clock in the afternoon."
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced down at her wristwatch, then looked up at the staff.
"We spent most of our time fishing so we could trade more ingredients with your production team, but you only gave us one chicken for ten fish. That's too much."
Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes were full of accusation as she looked at the staff. She had considered that the production team might ask them to exchange ingredients, and the ratio would definitely be very high.
However, Lin Xiaoxiao still couldn't accept the ratio of ten fish to one chicken.
After all, they don't have anything else to eat besides the vegetables they grow in the yard. In addition to exchanging meat, they also need to exchange some pasta with the production team.
In any case, they can't just eat vegetables all the time and not staple foods.
Lin Xiaoxiao had just roughly calculated that the group of them had caught a total of about fifty fish, with the most being sixteen from Shenyang.
According to the program's exchange rate, they wouldn't be able to exchange anything at all.
“Your exchange ratio is indeed a bit too high. In addition to exchanging some meat with you, we also have to exchange some pasta. In that case, these fish won’t get much in return.”
Tang Xue calculated the number of fish they currently possessed, according to the exchange ratio mentioned by the production team.
They can probably only exchange it for five chickens, but the problem is they still need noodles.
“That’s right, your exchange ratio is not scientific.” Although Shen Yang was a bit naive, that didn’t mean he was stupid. Hearing the production team’s words, he immediately jumped up in anger.
In this mission, he caught the most fish of all, sixteen, while the others did not catch many.
Based on the program's exchange ratio, they will soon be going hungry again.
"this……"
The staff member looked troubled; he wasn't surprised that the guests were dissatisfied with the proposed exchange ratio.
If their positions were switched, he would definitely feel dissatisfied as well.
However, not allowing guests to receive too many ingredients at once is also one of the highlights of their show.
After all, if the guests receive too many ingredients at once, they won't be motivated to collect more in the following days, which is not what the production team wants to see.
Their exchange ratio was determined after the number of fish the guests caught was finalized, but it seems the guests are not satisfied with the exchange ratio they offered.
"If you ask me, trading five fish for one chicken is already a huge bargain for your production team."
Seeing the difficulty on the staff's faces, Lin Xiaoxiao knew that there was still a possibility of further discussion.
“If you ask me, a one-to-one ratio is the fairest,” Shen Yang interjected.
“That’s right.” Lin Xiaoxiao quickly picked up where Shen Yang left off. “We didn’t ask the production team to exchange with us at a 1:1 ratio, but instead conceded to 1:5, so the production team should be satisfied with that.”
The staff member looked at the group of people in front of him with a mix of amusement and exasperation. He had considered the possibility that the guests might try to negotiate with them after learning about their exchange rate.
But the bargaining had really taken him a bit too far.
Shenyang is right; the production team should have exchanged with them on a one-to-one basis.
[Our CEO Lin isn't wrong. The odds have already dropped to 1 to 5; why isn't the production team agreeing?]
The production team is truly despicable; they actually wanted to exchange them at a ratio of one to ten. Their conscience is utterly wicked.
