    Chapter 40: Starry Sky “We are watching the stars together, this is real…”

    [Wow!!!]

    [It matched up again! Spectators, get in position!!]

    [What does this mean? Is it implying that Xiao Emperor has a script?]

    [Big reward, who can tell me why Shangguan Yaoguang and Ye Xiao were fighting with chainsaws? I really want to know.]

    [Wasn’t Shangguan Yaoguang particularly timid and useless before? How did he suddenly seem like someone else took over his body?]

    [Please call it awakening, OK?]

    [Going head-to-head with Ye Xiao, so cool!]

    [After Shangguan Yaoguang awakened, he’s the topic of conversation wherever he goes.]

    [Is Shangguan Yaoguang sick? Everyone is eating, and he suddenly does something so confusing.]

    [I’m actually on Ye Xiao’s side. Even non-fans know that Ye Xiao has always been smart.]

    [Ye Xiao even knows the answer, so of course, he knows the formula. Waiting for Guang to get slapped in the face.]

    [Shangguan Yaoguang definitely thought Ye Xiao stole his limelight, so he’s picking a fight. Too bad he kicked a hard rock.]

    [Ye Xiao’s fans are so confident? Suddenly starting to hesitate which side to take.]

    Ye Xiao was suddenly stumped, and everyone’s eyes were focused on him.

    His face didn’t show it, but his little finger twitched.

    Xu Chengyue knew this was a sign of his nervousness.

    Although he knew that Zhao Qian was using this variety show to promote Ye Xiao, he didn’t expect it to be so shameless.

    Although Ye Xiao usually bullies people in the group, he still subconsciously turns to Xu Chengyue for help when he encounters real problems.

    Xu Chengyue lowered his eyes, avoiding his gaze, and said softly, “Answer him.”

    Xu Chengyue always has a sense of being the backbone, so when he spoke, Hao Yun and Zhou Qingqing looked at Ye Xiao with disbelief.

    Avoiding eye contact is a symbol of disappointment. Ye Xiao felt a sting in his heart, and he forced a smile: “I forgot, who would remember that? I just saw the number in a popular science book and remembered it.”

    Hao Yun smoothed things over, “Ah… yes, I often come across some trivia, like bananas and humans are distant relatives, monkeys wipe their butts with leaves, pigs are actually super smart… haha.”

    The topic could have stopped there, leaving a bit of dignity for the adults, but the hatred in Ye Xiao’s heart was almost uncontrollable. There was a hint of madness in his eyes as he looked at Fu Yang. This person was ruining his plans again and again.

    “Old Fourth, you’re asking me this, don’t tell me you know the answer?”

    Ye Xiao knew Shangguan Yaoguang the best in the group. This fool who never went to college, no matter how much he showed off recently, couldn’t change the fact that he was a dropout.

    If he wanted to embarrass him, then don’t blame him for turning the tables.

    But he didn’t expect the young man to blurt out: “It is known that the orbital radius of the moon is approximately 384,400 kilometers, and the mass of the earth is approximately 5.972 x 10^24 kilograms.”

    “Using Kepler’s Third Law, the orbital period of the moon around the earth can be calculated. The final answer is approximately 27.3 days.”

    “Ye Xiao, you left out the word ‘approximately’.”

    At the same time, the young man used a branch to write the specific formula and solution on the sand.

    [Damn…]

    [I can’t even understand it after he wrote it out.]

    [T squared equals… how can you remember such a long string of numbers??]

    [So the host was letting him off easy, right? It’s not rigorous to consider it correct even if he leaves out a word.]

    Ye Xiao’s face turned from green to red. People easily lose their minds when they are at their wits’ end, and they speak without thinking.

    “Who knows if what you said is right! Randomly making up a bunch of letters, does that make it right? Do you believe someone who hasn’t even gone to college?”

    If Qing Sha was there, she would definitely say that what Fu Yang wrote was completely correct, but since the academic expert wasn’t there, other people who didn’t understand naturally didn’t dare to agree casually.

    Fu Yang slightly curled his lips, appearing relaxed compared to the shouting opposite him: “Then just assume I wrote it randomly.”

    First trick of reverse psychology, when faced with questioning, never fall into the trap of self-justification.

    “Just now, Xiao Emperor said that the answer was a number he casually saw in a popular science book and remembered, which is of course fine.” Fu Yang threw the branch into the fire.

    Ye Xiao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him showing weakness. As he expected, Shangguan Yaoguang was just a fool trying to look impressive, and he almost fell for it.

    “If the king has 1000 bottles of wine, one of which is poisoned. How many prisoners do you need at minimum to test the wine to determine which bottle is poisoned within 24 hours?” Fu Yang suddenly made a surprise attack, “Ye Xiao, do you still remember your answer to this question?”

    Ye Xiao blurted out: “10 people.”

    After speaking, he reviewed the answer he memorized in his mind. That’s right, this question was number 8, and the answer was ten people.

    Confirming that he hadn’t misspoke, he looked at the other side with a hint of smugness.

    “Oh~ so this was also a random number you memorized from a popular science book?” Fu Yang said.

    This was obviously a logical reasoning question where the information could be easily changed, so it was impossible to have the exact same question.

    Using binary code to deduce the answer, but Ye Xiao was able to blurt it out, which was even stranger.

    Fu Yang was peeling a hollow plant, thinking that it could be used as a straw, so he experimentally inserted it into a coconut and then shoved it into Xu Chengyue’s arms, who was watching the fun.

    Xu Chengyue was holding the coconut with a straw, drinking while watching Fu Yang dominate, and his eyes were practically sparkling. His brother was getting more and more handsome.

    Obviously, Ye Xiao also realized that he had fallen into a trap and was stunned into silence.

    Fu Yang didn’t expose him directly, but because of this, everyone understood even more clearly.

    Even Lu Baoyu could hear that something was wrong. So, he wasn’t the only one with a script? Good for him, Zhao Qian, taking so much money from his family and daring to raise an “outside lover”!

    Now that he was on the island, he couldn’t get angry at Zhao Qian.

    Because he didn’t even know where Zhao Qian was.

    It had to be said that Zhao Qian was worthy of being an old fox. Perhaps he had already anticipated this, so “Desert Island Signal Station” didn’t arrange for any staff to film them.

    First, it guaranteed the audience’s curiosity and created innovation.

    Second, it allowed him to stay out of the situation. At least for the seven days of filming, no one could find him.

    Which made the young master even more angry.

    [Beautiful! Ye Xiao cheated for sure.]

    [So, Ye Xiao’s big fans knew something before they left the fandom, right?]

    [Ye Xiao? Zhao Qian? Didn’t someone reveal before that Ye Xiao participated in Zhao Qian’s movie??]

    [Damn, big scoop.]

    [Every show can’t escape the script, I’m speechless…]

    [Can the comments stop being so conspiratorial? Has anyone admitted to having a script?]

    [It’s just that Ye Xiao happened to know the answers to these two questions, geez, why are you holding onto it?]

    [Yeah, some people can just be smart enough to solve problems without any process, so what? Don’t be so sour in the comments.]

    [What do you mean by holding onto it? Then I hope you encounter cheaters every time you play games.]

    [Isn’t this show supposed to be all-natural and without a script? What the hell are we watching then??]

    [Watching Shangguan Yaoguang tear up the script! Isn’t that great?]

    [Suddenly more interested in watching, watching Shangguan Yaoguang tear up a resource-stuffed artist.]

    [But, to be honest, I always thought the resource-stuffed artist was Lu Baoyu, but I didn’t expect it to be Ye Xiao?]

    [I felt like something was wrong with Ye Xiao from the moment he wanted to leave the group and fly solo. Even his face changed.]

    The comments were in chaos, and the trending topics were already rising. Ye Xiao’s fans immediately organized to flood the screen, destined for a sleepless night.

    After this incident, the campfire squad disbanded awkwardly.

    Ye Xiao left first, trembling all over, ignoring Lu Baoyu, who was chasing after him to practice his lines.

    “Yaoguang, can we take the fire with us?” Hao Yun asked flatteringly, after all, Fu Yang started the fire.

    Fu Yang was in a good mood after winning a complete victory and nodded generously.

    “Are you sure you can?” Xu Chengyue asked with some worry.

    Because he heard them say that the house they built in the afternoon collapsed during the conversation just now.

    “If it really doesn’t work out, you can squeeze in with us.” Fu Yang also said.

    He had clear likes and dislikes. After spending so many days together, he had some feelings, and he knew that Hao Yun and Zhou Qingqing were a bit stupid but good people, and he wouldn’t let them sleep outside in the wind.

    [Good, good, good, this is the team spirit I want to see]

    [Moe Moe Squad, I really love it]

    [They are all good babies]

    [Shangguan Yaoguang seemed to have a strong desire to win at the beginning, but I didn’t expect him to be quite nice.]

    [Husband sings and wife follows, hehe]

    Hao Yun looked touched, but after exchanging a look with Zhou Qingqing, he said, “A golden kennel is not as good as one’s own doghouse. Although it collapsed, we’re rebuilding it!”

    After all, they were filming a show, so they couldn’t freeload like they used to, cough, it would have a bad impact.

    Zhou Qingqing also said, “Yes, we can manage tonight, don’t worry, Captain.”

    So, after Fu Yang taught them some house-building experience, the four separated.

    The night on Mysterious Island was very quiet, occasionally hearing the sound of insects, and there was a lighthouse flashing on the distant sea.

    If you were just here for a vacation, it would actually be very comfortable.

    Xu Chengyue and Fu Yang were walking back, holding torches.

    “Are you getting used to it?”

    Fu Yang was walking behind Xu Chengyue and said when he heard the question, “It’s okay.”

    Although life on the island was hard, the scenery was beautiful, and plus there were no mobile phones, it was easier to experience the wonders of nature and feel the slow-paced life, which was quite novel.

    He could feel that Xu Chengyue also felt the same way. The person in front of him liked this place very much.

    When they arrived at the camp, Xu Chengyue was a little excited and didn’t rush in. He stepped on the dead tree stump on the ground and suddenly pointed to the sky with a smile: “Look, the starry sky is so close to us, it feels like we can touch it with a hand!”

    On the dark blue sky, the Milky Way was like crushed diamonds sprinkled on dark silk, romantic and shocking.

    At this moment, he believed in what Li Bai wrote in his poem: “The tall building is a hundred feet high, and one can pluck the stars with a hand.”

    “Light refracts when it passes through the atmosphere, so the positions of the stars we see are all fake.”

    Fu Yang leaned against the tree next to him, looking up with his gaze. At this time, he spoke unromantically like a physics student.

    “Then… what is real?” Xu Chengyue recalled some memories and suddenly felt a little lost, jumping off the tree stump.

    The wind blew the torch inserted in the container, and the fire shone on the starlight, reflecting into his eyes, swaying slightly, like a silent comfort.

    “We are watching the stars together, this is real.”

    Xu Chengyue tilted his head: “Are you comforting me?”

    Fu Yang turned around and left: “No.”

    Xu Chengyue curved his lips and chased after him.

    “Yes, you are!”
