The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!-Chapter 1673 - 1663: Falling Behind (Part 4)

Anyway, we’ve traveled so far, and now the watch is useless. Xia Siyu didn’t press on, she cheerfully got off the camel and sat on the ground: "Do we still need to set up the tent?"

Seven or eight kilometers is just one or two hours’ camel ride. But if you accidentally lose direction, who knows how long it’ll take, especially at night.

Bo Yan didn’t answer, instead he sat on the ground and asked her: "Hungry?"

Xia Siyu nodded weakly.

How could she not be hungry, traveling and eating in the wind and sleeping outdoors all the way. She hadn’t taken a nap at noon today, rushing the whole day.

The program initially scheduled for them to arrive tonight, but estimating they’d not make it, a guide would bring them along.

But the saying is right, how can you have strength to lose weight if you’re not full. Anyway, it’s not missing much, Bo Yan simply set up a pot to boil water for instant noodles.

While the fire was burning, Han Yifan and Shang Feifei’s group arrived from afar.

"Damn, how did you guys get ahead of us?" They had also walked a certain distance before realizing their compass was spinning. Initially, the magnetic field wasn’t that strong, so they kept moving forward, until the compass failed, and they wandered the desert. Finally, they managed to spot a fire in the distance, guessing someone must be there.

"Just following the route," Bo Yan responded calmly, tossing the noodle cake into the boiling water.

"Your compass isn’t showing any issues?"

Bo Yan said: "We didn’t buy a compass, we’re following the watch."

Han Yifan was speechless and wanted to say something, but the fragrant aroma of the noodles made his mouth water.

Instant noodles are magical, others’ always smell better than your own, and the scent is better than the taste.

Han Yifan and the others had also been on the road all day. Yesterday, they had fresh food, but today, nearly all the food was gone, leaving only bread and water. Bread isn’t bad, but the aroma of instant noodles in such material scarcity is simply criminally enticing!

Han Yifan asked, "What flavor? I don’t like shrimp fish cake, anything else is fine."

"Braised beef. Hey, step aside, I’m gonna scoop the noodles." If cooked too long, the noodles get mushy. Xia Siyu may not excel at anything else, but cooking instant noodles she nailed.

"Why not buy the pickled cabbage flavor, that one’s tasty." Han Yifan leaned forward, wishing he could dive into the pot. Xia Siyu intentionally said: "Not your share."

"Stingy." He immediately shot back, "Just a bite of noodles, instant noodles at that, won’t give it up, never seen someone so miserly. I even gave you a bottle of soda the day before yesterday."

"Really?" Xia Siyu turned to look at Bo Yan, she actually remembered but was teasing him, and Bo Yan pretended to know nothing.

"You miser!" Han Yifan pretended to snatch, Xia Siyu and Bo Yan protected it, while they were messing around, Shang Feifei asked: "Do you know how to proceed from here?"

That’s the question Xia Siyu also wanted to ask, she turned to Bo Yan. The watch was already useless, how do they proceed?

Bo Yan pointed to the sky.

Xia Siyu looked puzzled: "What? You mean look at the sky?"

Bo Yan nodded: "Yes, just look at the sky. Do you remember the Polaris and Big Dipper we previously saw? That’s the direction."

The Big Dipper, from start to finish, consists of seven stars called Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, Yaoguang, resembling a ladle. Tianshu and Tianxuan form the ladle’s head. Extending the line of these two stars five times leads to the bright star, which is Polaris.

Polaris is located due north.

The Big Dipper changes position based on the season, but Polaris remains due north. Observing Polaris provides a rough directional guidance.

Additionally, Polaris is unaffected by minor magnetic fields on the ground. Surely, this must be the program’s intention: the guide should find direction using the ground and Polaris.

Never imagined the stargazing that night would have such a purpose. It’s actually basic common sense, but if people don’t think that way, they’d never determine the route via the watch and stars.

This is why Bo Yan suggested resting on the spot initially, as it just got dark, the stars hadn’t fully appeared, making it hard to determine position. But now it’s different.

Her eyes sparkled, the expression on her face practically read: My husband is amazing!

But she was caught off guard as Han Yifan snatched the noodles from her bowl. For foodies, anything else is negotiable, except being robbed of your food, that’s akin to a grave offense, she furious: "Han Yifan, you stand right there!"

Han Yifan ultimately didn’t eat her noodles, but Xia Siyu wasn’t that petty, since they all gathered, they teamed up, shared the soup and noodles. After eating, Han Yifan was sent to clean the pot while Bo Yan prepared to navigate.

Possibly due to the strong winds yesterday, the temperature suddenly dropped, turning cold as soon as it became dark. Bo Yan determined the direction, and hurriedly urged Xia Siyu to wear her military coat: "Be careful, in the desert, aside from dehydration, it’s easy to catch a chill. If the temperature drops suddenly, various issues might arise."

Xia Siyu was in a skirt and little boots, wrapped in a military coat, the two groups moved forward. Although the north was correctly located, Moon Bay wasn’t directly north, requiring a slight shift east. They deviated slightly but soon corrected their course and advanced forward.

Although dining delayed them slightly, the meal helped both groups replenish strength, and they charged ahead, reaching the endpoint in one go.

Standing atop the sand dune, looking down at the crescent-shaped bay below. An equatorial moon above, a crescent below, complementing each other, incredibly beautiful.

The guide said, this area used to be a huge lake; during the rainy season akin to a full moon, during drought like a new moon, always wet. But later, due to environmental degradation, the lake dried up year-round. Recently, the country increased protection against Northwest sandstorms, and the lake began resurfacing.

The two groups were the first to arrive. After they arrived, after a while, the elderly couple also reached the endpoint from afar. They started earliest, but detoured far, losing direction after the compass failed. Even though arriving first, after they made it, the elderly couple reached the endpoint from afar.
