You can sleep against me.

Half a day later, the other teams finally arrived. 

When they came ashore, many of them looked like legendary wolves.

Some dared to get on the bamboo raft because they were afraid of water, some almost capsized on the way, some accidentally stepped into the water and got wet, and another accidentally touched a broken bamboo knot and got a small cut.

Those that were afraid of water finally got the courage to get on the bamboo raft, but halfway through the journey, their raft almost capsized, and during their panic, they got themselves wet all over by stepping into the water. There was also one who accidentally cut himself with a bamboo splinter from a slip of hand.

In contrast, Team One, who had arrived very early, was in an extremely relaxed and comfortable state. Not only did they cross without any hurdle, but they were also way ahead of the pack. They had played everything they could, and even posted many Moments. Those not in the know would think they were on vacation. 

The most outrageous thing was that once everyone gathered, other teams noticed how satisfied and filled Team One was, based on their burping.

This was when someone expressed dissatisfaction, “Did Team One eat already? We want some too, I’m starving.”

People around echoed one after another. After a long day of hard work, they were famished.

“There was no such thing.” Ruan Shao was afraid of being forced to wear a hat and bearing one of her shoulders, and quickly explained, “They caught those fish themselves.”

She even pointed to the corner with the recently extinguished campfire.

It turned out that the first team was going to hand over the fish that Ren Xingliu caught to the planning team, but the planning team said that the ingredients for tonight had been prepared in advance, and the fish was not easy to handle, so they declined.

The original plan was to hand over the fish Ren Xingliu had caught to the planning team, but the planning team politely declined because they had already prepared the ingredients for tonight, not to mention the challenge of cleaning the fish.

Ren Xingliu saw that those fish were quite plump, so it was a pity to waste them like this. It happened that they arrived early and had nothing to do, so they simply led everyone to build a bonfire, asked the planning team for some seasonings, and started grilling fish on the spot. 

Ren Xingliu saw how plump the fish were, so it was a waste not to eat them. It so happened that they completed early, so with nothing to do, he decided to set up a campfire with everyone and asked for some seasoning from the planning team, because he was going to roast the fish on site.

She didn’t mention how delicious the fish had smelled and how she managed to get a few bites.

After listening to Ruan Shao’s explanation, everyone went: “…??”

Everyone carried the same question inside. Why did the Crown Prince possess such skill?

Those with acquaintances in Team One had to go ask.

Since Team One went through the brain filling process, they were able to provide a complete explanation and confidently answer everyone’s question.

High-level gossip would always spread rapidly, not to mention, this was Ren Xingliu they were talking about.

So it didn’t take long for all the employees in the business department to know that the little prince just looked like a dandy. In fact, he grew up with an elite education, was proficient in various skills, and was a comprehensive talent with both literary and military skills.

Not long after, all the employees knew that the Crown Prince might appear to be silk pants, but in reality, he was a well-rounded and talented person who had received elite education and was a master of both literature and combat.

As for the various ugly rumors about him in the past, it was now apparent that they were all rumors created by competitors.

Safe to say, this speculation was quite in line with the public’s usual imagination of wealthy families.

In the eyes of many people, a rich man has attended an aristocratic school since childhood and is proficient in equestrian, archery and skiing. Outdoor sports and wilderness excursions are a no-brainer for them. 

In the eyes of many people, a wealthy young master was the same as someone who attended reputable schools from a young age, and was proficient in horse riding, archery, skiing, and whatnot, making outdoor sports and hiking not to speak of it.

As a result, employees of other divisions had dramatically changed their views on Ren Xingliu.

There are also people who are fighting for him – those people who spread rumors are so despicable. He is such an elite and noble son, and has been programmed for so many years. It seems that the world of wealthy families is as sinister as what was said on TV!

There were also people who defended him against injustice—those who spread rumors were too despicable. The kid was simply a good young master with wealth, but had many lies laid out for him. It seemed that the realm of the riches was as vicious as the TV made it out to be! 

On the other hand, Chen Zhi was still giving lectures to his division.

Under his personal supervision, his division worked nonstop and took a lead against the other three teams, obtaining a good result of second place.

But for Chen Zhi, this was clearly far from enough.

When the planning team announced that the first team had won the first place in points, Chen Zhi was heartbroken and said in a huff, “How could you not even be able to beat the first team? Keep your spirits up, and you can only win and not lose.” ,Do you understand?”

When he heard the planning team announce that Team One had taken first in the standing, he became bitter and hateful, spitting out, “How could you lose to Team One? Get it together in the next one. There can only be victory, not defeat. Understand?”

“…” The people below were as silent as cicadas in winter, afraid to answer.

Of course, they couldn’t curse their leader for being such a dog.

One of them couldn’t resist grumbling in a low voice, “But Team One has the Crown Prince in their team. The Crown Prince is an all-rounded elite. How can we compare…” 

He had no choice but to put on a bold face and retell the latest rumor he had just heard.

When Chen Zhi heard this, he couldn’t believe it, “People actually believe this ghost talk?” 

Chen Zhi is a shareholder of Ren’s family and a veteran of the company. He can be regarded as having watched Ren Xingliu grow up. Others don’t know whether he knows the virtue of this young master.

Chen Zhi had a share in the Ren Empire and was an old employee in the company. It could be said that he had watched Ren Xingliu grow up. Others might not know the details, but not him. Of course, he knew about the young master’s revolting behavior.

When Ren Xingliu and He Lang teamed up to set up a scheme, although he was upset, he could still comfort himself. This young master was a scourge, so he didn’t want it.

In the beginning, Ren Xingliu and He Lang joined hands and made a fool out of him. Although he was annoyed, he could still comfort himself. The young master was a walking disaster, so there was nothing for him to worry about. 

It wouldn’t be soon for Ren Xingliu to flip heaven and cover earth for He Lang. He was simply waiting for the show to happen.

Instead, in a few days of effort, Ren Xingliu’s public reputation has been washed clean? He also invented an outrageous story?

The more Chen Zhi thought about it, the more suspicious he became. He refused to believe that there was no hand in this.

He felt that with Ren Xingliu’s social experience, no way could he have such sophisticated means, so it wasn’t hard to imagine who was behind the scenes, pushing the wave and adding to the billows. 

He Lang’s department was far ahead, and he was happily accepting the compliments from others, when he saw Chen Zhi suddenly passing by him and giving him a sneer for no reason, as if he had seen through the truth: “He Lang, what a trick. “

Since He Lang’s division was far ahead of others, he happily accepted compliments from others. Then he saw Chen Zhi to suddenly pass by him, giving him a scoff for no reason, like he saw through the truth, “He Lang, well play.”

“?” He Lang was a little confused, but since the morning meeting, he and Chen Zhi had half-broken each other, and it was common for them to be angry with each other, so he didn’t bother to think deeply, and smiled back, not to be outdone, “To each other. “

“?” He Lang was quite baffled. But since that morning meeting, he and Chen Zhi have already shed all pretense of cordiality. It was common for them to be passive-aggressive towards each other. Since he was too lazy to deal with this, he showed a smile that couldn’t be outdone. “You as well.” 

Chen Zhi: “!!”

He Lang admitted it!

Chen Zhi became increasingly furious. Since he was in public, he couldn’t lose face. He had to find his assistant to remind his subordinates not to be misled by rumors, as they were all false.

The assistant didn’t dare to refute, as he was very speechless inside. He really wanted to say that there was no use telling them that when the Crown Prince’s ability was doing all the talking. 

He also didn’t know why Mr. Chen was so insisting that the Crown Prince was useless. It felt like his boss had been brainwashed by a poisoned tea bag.

It was not easy to pat a horse like Mr. Chen’s butt.

As expected, his colleagues were still somewhat skeptical about the new rumors around Ren Xingliu. But as the event continued, all these doubts were dispelled.

After resting, the planning team arranged everyone’s dinner, followed by today’s final task—setting up camp. 

In this team building, they would stay overnight at the RV camp, but the number of RVs was limited, so half of the people needed to set up tents, which required teamwork.

This link is not difficult, but it can still be seen that Ren Xingliu is much more agile than others. In addition, he also explained some details that need to be paid attention to when camping in the wild, which was actually more thorough than what the coaching staff explained.

Overall, it wasn’t a difficult task, but anyone could tell how agile Ren Xingliu was being compared to them. Not only that, but he also explained some details that need to be kept in mind when camping in the wilderness, which were even more thorough than the coaches.

As a result, people have become even more convinced of these legends. 

After camps were set up, the coaches lit a bonfire at an open ground, indicating the official end of today’s event.

After a long day of running around, everyone breathed a sigh of relief once they could settle down. They sat around the bonfire in a circle, enjoying this cozy moment.

The night in the suburbs was colder, fortunately, the planning team had prepared blankets in advance and passed them out for everyone to wrap themselves with.

However, there were a limited number of blankets, so not everyone could have their own. As coworkers, they didn’t really mind. It wasn’t like they were strangers; they didn’t mind sharing it with another.

Ren Xingliu allowed laziness to take over, so he stayed seated without moving, feeling toasted from the fire. Then suddenly, he felt warm around his shoulders.

He turned his head and saw Bai Juanqiu got a blanket and put it around him, saying, “Wrap it tightly, so you won’t freeze.”

Actually, Ren Xingliu didn’t feel cold, but after hearing those words, he listened and pulled the blanket around him.

Bai Juanqiu then sat down beside him. 

Ren Xingliu looked at him, then unfolded the blanket on one side and draped it over the other’s shoulder, saying, “We can share.”

Bai Juanqiu turned to get a good look. “You should keep it to yourself. The blanket isn’t very big.”

Neither of them was small in size, making sharing a blanket pretty hard.

Ren Xingliu pondered for a moment and said calmly, “It’s fine, I have a solution.”

After saying that, he approached Bai Juanqiu and stuck to his side, saying with a smile, “There, this will do.”

Bai Juanqiu: “…”

Their shoulders were pressed tightly together, and the blanket did feel larger, but still not quite enough.

Bai Juanqiu didn’t want this idea to fail, so he leaned against Ren Xingliu again, so that their shoulders overlapped. He said with a smile, “Yes, this is just fine.” 

This place was far from the city center, with vast mountains and no extensive light pollution. As soon as everyone looked up, they could see the starry night.

On a whim, someone asked Ren Xingliu, “Boss, with how amazing you are, are you able to read the stars?”

It was said this was a must-learn skill for survival enthusiasm.

As soon as he brought it up, people around him also looked over curiously. 

Ren Xingliu: “…”

He suddenly became ‘boss’…

Actually, he really knew how. There was no navigation in ancient times, so most people had to learn some skills to tell their position, especially in wartime.

Not only that, but astrological knowledge as well. After all, in that era, people were superstitious, and the imperial court also had a specialized department for observing the position of stars.

Seeing that everyone was interested, and this wasn’t an inadequacy that Ren Xingliu needed to keep quiet, so he went through them.

What he shared was very practical, with some astronomical stories sprinkled here and there. They were vivid, interesting and fascinating.

As his colleagues listened, they became more and more convinced of him.

See, the Crown Prince was not only good with manual labor, but also possessed extensive knowledge. He was definitely brought up by elite education. 

All those rumors about him being useless were all fake!

While Ren Xingliu was speaking, Bai Juanqiu silently watched him from the side.

The flame outlined the youth’s profile, flickering dark and light so mesmerizingly.

He actually told them very casually and did not deliberately show off, but the stories came easily and were full of details, as if he had personally experienced them, and were very convincing. 

He actually told the stories very casually and didn’t intentionally show off or anything. But the way he told the stories with his hands and full of details, it felt as if he had personally experienced them, making them more convincing.

When he finished, a few of them were very invested and echoed, “Keep going, tell another one.”

“No, I’m done.” Ren Xingliu waved his hand. “It’s getting late, everyone should turn in for the night.”

Someone joked, “Speaking of this, I heard that a truly amazing person could tell time by reading the stars. Don’t tell me you have the skill to do so?” 

“I can give it a try.” Ren Xingliu replied before raising his head and staring at the sky for a while. “Based on the position of the Big Dipper, it should be around eleven o’clock right now.”

The same person checked his watch. “Holy shit, you’re right!”

Other colleagues were also surprised. “That’s amazing!”

“You’re spot on. This is very impressive!” 

“No way, how can you tell with the Big Dipper? Why have I never heard of this telling time using the Big Dipper?”

“I don’t even see the Big Dipper anywhere…”

Ren Xingliu explained, “That depends on the season. Being late autumn now, the Big Dipper is at the lowest point in the north, which is not easy to spot from where we are, that’s why…”

He flashed his phone and chuckled. “I made it all up. I actually just checked my phone.” 

Everyone: “……”

Refund our shock back to us!

The storytelling session came to an end on a sweet note, and Bai Juanqiu couldn’t resist laughing. He dragged the naughty ghost up. “Come on, it’s rest time. We have to get up early tomorrow.”

The sleeping arrangement was made in pairs, and they naturally were grouped together in a tent. 

This was not the first time they have slept together, but after lying down, Ren Xingliu became restless.

Compared to the dormitory bed, the space in the tent was actually more spacious.

But Ren Xingliu felt there was something wrong as he couldn’t stop himself from tossing and turning.

Bai Juanqiu sensed his movements and asked, “What’s wrong? Can’t sleep?” 

Ren Xingliu didn’t know how to explain his situation, so he had to tell a lie with open eyes, “I’m feeling cold.”

This was just a casual excuse, but it was enough to plunge Bai Juanqiu into silence.

Ren Xingliu didn’t take that to heart. As he was about to continue his tossing and turning, he felt a movement beside him. Instantly later, he fell into a broad and warm embrace.

Bai Juanqiu reached out and wrapped around Ren Xingliu’s waist, fishing the youth into his arms. He even lightly patted the other’s back, saying, “If you don’t mind, you can sleep against me.” 

Ren Xingliu was stunned for a moment, and his body tensed on instinct.

Then closely after, the unknown restlessness in his heart gradually subsided.

It seemed like being by this person’s side made him feel very safe.

In this moment, the fog that had been haunting his heart for so long has finally lifted. 

With the familiar scent at the tip of his nose, Ren Xingliu relaxed his body, smiled quietly, and then reached out to return the embrace, saying, “Okay.”

The night was deep, with plenty of dew.

The two rested in each other’s arms, drawing on each other’s warmth. Ren Xingliu felt so satisfied that he couldn’t resist snuggling closer with his head.

Then, he touched the back of Bai Juanqiu’s hand with his forehead. 

Wait, shouldn’t this be the chest area?

Ren Xingliu found this strange and asked, “Xiao Bai why are you covering your chest while sleeping?”

After a moment of pause, Bai Juanqiu said, “The heart is quite important, so I wanted to better protect it.”

Ren Xingliu: “…”

Xiao Bai, wasn’t this too overly cautious?
