Stop pretending, the fake heiress is actually a master of metaphysics.

The ingredients for the second stage are vegetables.

Shen Nian casually picked up some ripe bok choy.

Lin Xiyue chose rice in the first round, while Hu Die chose the remaining flour.

In the second round, Hu Die chose the tomato, while Lin Xiyue chose the remaining two bitter melons.

The third challenge was meat, with fish, pork, beef, and chicken all available. The production team did their best to provide a balanced mix of meat and vegetables for the guests.

Shen Nian chose chicken and ribs, thinking they could make soup before adding the noodles. The remaining meat was divided equally between the other two.

After Shen Nian finished answering the questions, she only waited about ten minutes before she saw Mu Sinian appear on the island's path.

He had already transported their drinking water back to their lodgings for the night.

"I'm done answering, shall we go now?"

Mu Sinian smiled.

He barely sweated and still looked clean and refreshed.

People in the live chat were calling him "husband".

"Mom, he's so handsome, I'm dying."

[Ah Wei is dead, Ah Wei is dead, he was so handsome.]

[My brother looks so handsome with his slightly messy hair...]

[Screenshotting and saving frantically.]

[Brother, you look so young. Is it because you always play men in their thirties or forties in your acting roles?]

Actually, being in your thirties or forties isn't considered old...

[Mu Sinian is so fast! The other two girls haven't even finished one trip, and he's already made three.]

Actually, two trips should be enough.

[Perhaps considering that Shen Nian is a girl, she might use more water for washing and other things?]

But seriously, doesn't the island have a water treatment plant and seawater desalination technology...?

Smaller islands may not yet have water treatment plants, which is normal. Even some arid areas in the northwest don't have running water and have to rely on rainwater harvesting.

[This could also be for the safety of the guests. Generally, when filming abroad, the production team doesn't use the local water directly; instead, they purchase large quantities of bottled water.]

But usually only countries with poor sanitation need this... This island looks quite clean.

[There's another possibility: it's just tormenting the guests.]

[This is hilarious! I think you might have hit the nail on the head; it's just pure torture for the guests.]

Shen Nian waved to Mu Sinian, indicating that their food would be delivered back to their residence by staff.

Next, Shen Nian and Mu Sinian prepared to set off to find the equipment.

A cameraman followed the two at a distance. Mu Sinian said, "When we were carrying water earlier, I think I spotted some hidden equipment. Follow me."

These water sports equipment are usually brightly colored, so it's not surprising that he found them.

Shen Nian responded and followed him to find the diving mask hidden in the tree branches, the diving suit hidden in the bushes, and the lifeboat hidden under the cliff...

Shen Nian: "Did you see this on the way here?"

Mu Sinian: "Oh, no, I just think it's a good place to hide things."

"It's all about experience. You'll understand once you participate in a few more variety shows."

Shen Nian: "...Isn't this your first variety show appearance?"

"But I've seen a lot."

The two borrowed a small cart from a nearby islander to store their equipment.

Out of a sense of morality, the two only took what they needed and did not loot any other equipment.

Pushing the cart, they prepared to return to the village chief's house where they were staying.

Shen Nianqi asked, "Don't you never participate in variety shows? Why did you agree to participate in 'Supernatural Online'?"

Mu Sinian turned his head and looked at her for a long time, then sighed and said quietly, "It seems you really don't remember."

"Remember what?"

Shen Nian frowned: "Have we known each other before?"

She flipped through the original owner's memories but found no connection between her and this big star.

The original owner didn't even follow celebrities, and had no feelings for stars, idols, or singers.

Mu Sinian said, "Do you remember when you were eight or ten years old, a boy who was about half a year old moved into the house next to the Shen family's house?"

"At that time, I had a falling out with my family and moved out on my own. The house I bought was near the Shen family's house."

"Back then, I was constantly going from one film set to another. Because my family didn't support my acting, I was often rejected. Oh, but it could also be because my acting was really bad back then, and the directors couldn't stand it and had to reject me."

"I was pretty frustrated back then, and you were the only one who would listen to me. Even though you were just a kid, I always felt like you could understand everything."

Shen Nian thought about it carefully and it seemed that there really was such a thing.

However, almost ten years have passed now, and both "Shen Nian" and Mu Sinian have changed too much.

If the original owner were still alive, she might not even recognize him.

but……

Shen Nian lowered her eyes.

She is not the original owner of this body.

She glanced back at the camera, made a sound-mute gesture, and then said, "There's something I might need to tell you."

However, Mu Sinian spoke first: "You're not her, are you?"

"Although a long time has passed, I have been acting for so long that even two people who look exactly alike can have different expressions and movements."

"I just want to confirm if she's really gone."

"She has already been reincarnated."

Shen Nian said calmly.

Mu Sinian curved his lips into a smile: "I always thought... you were her second personality, created to protect herself."

Shen Nian shook her head: "No. She and I were never the same person from beginning to end. She gave me her body, and I took revenge for her."

Mu Sinian said, "If I hadn't participated in the first episode, I probably wouldn't have believed such a thing."

"Perhaps that's why I came to participate in this program—sometimes people need to learn to accept things beyond their own understanding, don't they?"

Why did it suddenly go silent?

What are they whispering about?

So, did Mu Sinian go on the show to reconnect with the girl who encouraged him years ago?

[So, does that mean Shen Nian could be considered my brother's first fan?]

Never mind, I'll eat this meal out of friendship first.

Friendship is the best food!

Let them whisper to each other; I doubt either of them expected to see each other again after so many years.

Shen Nian could roughly guess what the comments were saying.

So she could only sigh silently.

Mu Sinian concluded, "I'm late."

At the time, he was so focused on his career and future that he never noticed why the girl was so intelligent and precocious at such a young age.

She always wore long sleeves even in the summer, perhaps to cover up the scars Shen Jiashi had left on her body.

Later, the Shen family's business prospered, and they moved to another place with Shen Nian, after which the two lost contact.

in case……

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

"I am not her, saying that to me won't work."

Shen Nian said, "Now that you understand this matter, you don't need to try to get close to me anymore."

"I didn't mean to think of you as her; I just want to see you as another friend... Is that not okay?"
