Chapter 40: Chapter 40 It Actually Worked
Chapter 40 -40 It Actually Worked
Everyone played until after ten o’clock and then dispersed.
Early the next morning, Luo Ning got up for a run and also happened to cook two large pots of porridge.
Lu Xun also got up early to run, and the two ran several laps together.
The theme of this episode was to experience leisurely country life, and since it was their last day there, the production team didn’t make the guests struggle to earn money for food.
Today’s focus was purely on relaxing and enjoying themselves, so in addition to the porridge Luo Ning made, the director’s team also provided buns and steamed buns.
Everyone enjoyed the porridge and were once again amazed, continuously praising its deliciousness and expressing their thanks to her.
It was a pity that each person only got one bowl, otherwise Luo Zeyu and others felt they could easily consume five bowls each.
After breakfast, everyone took several buses to the Wu Family’s farm.
The farm had a mountain with free-range chickens, pigs, and sheep.
Below in the fields, there were fruits and vegetables, and there was also a large pond at the back for fishing.
Lunch and dinner could be made from the farm’s ingredients, but they had to be collected and cooked by themselves.
To make it more fun, Luo Ning suggested that the guests collaborate on preparing lunch and dinner.
So everyone started working together, with Wu Hongyi taking Lu Xun and some students up the mountain to catch pigs and chickens, as well as to collect eggs.
Wang Xiaohui, meanwhile, led Luo Ning and Su Qinglan with a group of students to pick fruits.
Bo Xiangxiang, not wanting Luo Ning to steal the show again, saw the large pond at the back and got an idea.
She borrowed a fishing rod from the Wu Family and then called the remaining people to go fishing.
Wei Yao usually went fishing with friends when he was free, and yesterday Luo Ning had told him to stay away from the water, but he had forgotten, and being repeatedly called by Bo Xiangxiang, he followed the main group.
[I remember yesterday Ningbao told Teacher Wei to stay away from the water, how come he still went?!]
[He probably forgot.]
[Bo Xiangxiang must have heard it too, why did she still call Teacher Wei to go?]
[Are the Ning Fans sick or something? Just because Luo Ning said Teacher Wei couldn’t go near the water because he would fall in, does it mean it would really happen? I think it’s absurd.]
[Exactly, Luo Ning’s words are not imperial edicts, why should others listen?]
[I don’t believe Teacher Wei will fall into the water, Luo Ning must be making it up.]
[Teacher Wei is an adult, unless he jumps into the pond himself, how could he possibly fall in? I’m waiting to see Luo Ning proven wrong.]
Bo Xiangxiang was lucky, and soon her fishing rod had a fish on the hook.
She pulled up the rod, and seeing a fish of about three to four pounds, she said with a smile, “My luck isn’t too bad today.”
Others seeing this also felt she was very lucky to catch a big fish right away, “Bo Xiangxiang is not bad, got a big catch right from the start.”
Bo Xiangxiang showed an embarrassed expression, “I’ll try to catch more, and make fish soup for the teachers tonight.”
The others weren’t as lucky as her, only after a long while did Wei Yao catch a small fish, and the rest caught nothing.
Half an hour later, Bo Xiangxiang successively caught several more fish, making everyone marvel at her luck.
[Xiangxiang really is a little lucky koi, whatever she does, the luck is just so good.]
[Those who are with Xiangxiang are so lucky, they can completely win by lying down.]
[My Xiangxiang is beautiful and kind-hearted, that’s why she’s so lucky.]
Bo Xiangxiang’s fans on the live stream constantly sang her praises.
After a while, Bo Xiangxiang’s fishing rod moved, but she couldn’t pull it up despite her best effort.
Then, an idea struck her, and she shouted, “Teacher Wei, I think I’ve caught a big fish, and I can’t pull it up.”
Teacher Wei, a seasoned fisherman who had been teaching everyone how to fish, was naturally the one she called out to, hoping to show off.
Teacher Wei stood up and walked over to take a look at the water. “Indeed, it seems you’ve caught a big fish.”
“Teacher Wei, please help me; I can’t pull it up,” Bo Xiangxiang said, wanting to gain favor with the other guests, not letting Luo Ning have the upper hand.
With Bo Xiangxiang having said that, Teacher Wei naturally couldn’t refuse, and he was also curious about how big the fish was.
“Alright, let me try.” He took the fishing rod and pulled hard upwards.
Suddenly, a big fish leaped out of the water before plunging back in, causing the others to exclaim in surprise, “Wow, such a big fish!”
The fish probably measured over a meter in length and was particularly plump, likely weighing dozens of kilos.
It was the first time they had ever encountered such a big fish in the pond, and they all watched with utmost excitement.

Seeing this, Bo Xiangxiang’s lips curved into a smug smile. She knew her luck was just that good; catching this fish would definitely enhance her image in everyone’s eyes.
Just as everyone was excited, Teacher Wei pulled the fishing rod hard again, but the fish leaped toward the distance.
The fish was strong, and Teacher Wei, caught off guard by the inertia, was pulled forward and fell into the pond without being able to stabilize himself.
The pond was not shallow, about two meters deep, and he was dragged to the bottom by the fish.
Teacher Wei knew how to swim, so as soon as he hit the bottom of the pond, he immediately tried to swim upwards. Unfortunately, his hand got accidentally entangled in the fishing line, and he was helplessly dragged along by the big fish.
He struggled desperately to free himself, but suddenly his leg cramped, panic set in, and he began to choke on water.
Suddenly, Luo Ning’s words from the day before flashed in his mind, and he realized that he had forgotten them as soon as Bo Xiangxiang called out to him.
The pain from the leg cramp and the impending feeling of suffocation filled him with regret; he shouldn’t have gone fishing.
If he had been fishing alone, this accident wouldn’t have happened. But Bo Xiangxiang had insisted on him pulling the fish, and now it was costing him his life!
His consciousness then gradually began to blur.
Those on the shore didn’t expect Teacher Wei to be dragged into the pond by the fish. At first, they could see Teacher Wei struggling in the water, but soon he went under and didn’t respond.
After more than a minute without Teacher Wei resurfacing, the faces of the others paled.
“Teacher Wei can swim; he hasn’t come up yet, could something have happened?” Chai Jing couldn’t help but ask.
Tong Jia also knew how to swim; hearing this, she immediately jumped in, and the crew, panicking, followed suit.
Then they saw Teacher Wei unconscious underwater and hurriedly rescued him.
The crew had a medical doctor with them; Teacher Wei was pulled up and immediately received medical attention.
Fortunately, he hadn’t been underwater long, after emergency care and spitting out some water, he finally opened his eyes.
“Teacher Wei is awake.” The guests and crew, having been scared, looked at Teacher Wei waking up without issue, and all breathed a sigh of relief.
Upon waking, Teacher Wei was not in great condition, so the crew carried him to a rest area and helped him change into dry clothes.
“Luo Ning, I want to see Luo Ning,” Teacher Wei said after waking up, feeling unable to calm himself down, still frightened by the near-death experience.
The director also remembered what Luo Ning had said the day before. They hadn’t taken it seriously then, but now it seemed eerily prescient, which was almost unbelievable.
Then, he immediately sent someone to find Luo Ning.
The other guests were no longer in the mood to fish, so they all headed to the rest area to check on Teacher Wei, seeing his pale and ashen face filled them with dread.
