The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!-Chapter 1671 - 1661: Falling Behind (2)

As soon as she got up, she was completely awake. She saw the microphone pinned to Bo Yan’s chest and the camera seemingly turning. Her hair was a mess and her clothes were wrinkled. Xia Siyu still had some awareness of being a beauty, so she quickly grabbed her clothes to cover herself: "Get out, get out, I haven’t washed my face yet! Hurry out, don’t come in until I call you."

Bo Yan laughed and went out. Before leaving, he even helped her cover the camera with clothes.

Xia Siyu quickly changed her clothes. After changing, Bo Yan was still outside saying, "The hot water is ready, come out and wash your face and rinse your mouth."

Last night, this was the only group with hot water, so she had washed her body and hair. Now she could comfortably wash her face with hot water. Xia Siyu looked around with a towel: "Hey, those disloyal ones sneaked away quietly. Don’t force me to hurry overnight, I just want to be the first to reach the finish line." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Bo Yan just laughed and set up the stove beside them, continuing to cook.

It’s now past ten o’clock, just right, breakfast and lunch can be solved at once. If they get hungry while traveling in the afternoon, there’s still naan, which could count as afternoon tea.

The fresh ingredients sent by seniors just happened to be used as ingredients. Throw in the half pack of hotpot seasoning left from yesterday, add the ingredients, perfect.

The other groups have already gone far, but they were still leisurely eating hotpot on the spot. Although the program team was used to their wandering stance, they couldn’t help but remind them: "Teacher Bo, Teacher Xia, when do you think it’s suitable to start moving again?"

Xia Siyu, understanding the unspoken rule of not talking during meals, swallowed an extra-large piece of beef before speaking: "What’s the rush? We haven’t finished the meal yet. After eating, we also have to clean things up, right? We have to wash the pot and dishes, right? And after eating, we need to rest for half an hour. We’re not here to participate in a competitive program; isn’t this the ’Romantic Desert Journey’?"

Faced with this retort, the other party was left speechless and had to walk away.

The two spent an hour eating hotpot, and afterwards, Xia Siyu went to pack up. Bo Yan had saved the water from washing vegetables and washing his face earlier, which they now used to wash the dishes and pot and to put out the fire. In the desert, water is precious; it’s best not to waste it unless absolutely necessary.

Leisurely until a little past twelve, the two finally set off. By then, the group with the seniors and Zhou Weiwei had been walking for nearly four hours. Even Han Yifan’s group had been walking for three hours, they were currently taking a break in the middle.

And these three groups, because they weren’t very good at cooking, ate simply—just sandwiches and bread, a little bite and then continued on their way.

In contrast, these two, maybe because in the previous two episodes they had competed all out to save money, appeared to be the most leisurely this time.

But once the two started walking, just as Xia Siyu said, they walked for seven hours straight, only stopping when the sun set.

They were now lagging behind the other three groups, the furthest by ten kilometers, the closest by five kilometers. Bo Yan started preparing dinner again. The fresh ingredients were almost gone, but there were instant noodles. Bo Yan cooked two packs, each took some naan, broke it into pieces, and ate simply with the noodle soup.

It was just the two of them, but the journey was urgent, so Bo Yan analyzed the situation with Xia Siyu.

In this day and a half, they had walked twenty kilometers less than originally planned. If this continued, they might not reach their destination before nightfall tomorrow.

Although their food and water supply were still sufficient, arriving last means that the way they reach the final destination might be more severe.

—And there’s one more thing, he had checked the weather forecast, and there could be strong winds and a temperature drop in the next two days.

Strong winds in the city are just a bit of a hassle for pedestrians, unless it’s a typhoon or tornado, it’s nothing much. But in the desert, strong winds mean blowing sand and dust, losing one’s way.

They’re currently following the national highway, so they won’t get lost for now. But what about when the highway ends? Even with a guide, it’s still dangerous.

Xia Siyu thought for a moment: "Then let’s go to bed early tonight and get up early tomorrow."

Last night they lost a lot of time watching stars and the moon. There’s no need for that today. The two boiled a pot of water, washed their bodies, washed their hair and face, and used the water to clean the pot and extinguish the fire. Just as they finished tidying up, they indeed felt the wind picking up. Although it wasn’t strong, the once clear night sky now seemed dim as stars shyly hid behind the wind-blown sand, appearing hazy and unclear.

With the wind picking up, the temperature also dropped. Fortunately, Xia Siyu had rented a military coat beforehand, which now came in handy.

To be able to depart early tomorrow and given that it was too early to sleep, the two packed up their luggage and planned the route.
