Chapter 431: The Power of Huaxia Glutinous Rice Flour
[Jiang Nuo, we’re Huaxia glutinous rice fans, we believe in you!][We’re Huaxia glutinous rice fans, and we’re your strongest supporters. Go forward boldly, whether you succeed or fail, you’re our pride!]
[We’re Huaxia glutinous rice fans, and we don’t have much to say, just one thing—Jiang Nuo, you’re a man, so please take good care of our goddess Mu Qiuniang (English)!]
[Hahaha... Jiang Nuo, you’re amazing! Just don’t let our Qiuniang outshine you in this dangerous game—that would be too embarrassing! Be a man and take care of your own wife (English)!]
[If you lose, so be it, it’s okay, the key is to take care of Qiuniang!]
[Don’t let our Qiuniang get tanned!]
...
The bilingual messages came from Huaxia glutinous rice fans who climbed the Great Firewall to give their encouragement and support to their idols.
They wanted the whole world to know that even if their idols were abandoned by the entire world, Huaxia glutinous rice fans would always be their strongest supporters.
Jiang Nuo replied on Facebook: [Dear Huaxia glutinous rice fans, I won’t let you down. Please wait for the good news of our success!]
Soon, the "Wilderness Program" was filmed. The biggest difference between it and other shows was that all its experiences were real, with no deception at all.
Like all the other guests participating in the show, Jiang Nuo and Mu Qiuniang, each allowed to bring only one item, were taken along with 8 other guests to the uninhabited Antarctica.
Among the other 8 guests, two were very experienced adventurers, one having led a team into Antarctica twice, and the other having visited solo once.
The rest had some degree of outdoor adventure experience, and even those who didn’t had done things like camping overnight in the wild.
Originally, the 10 should have formed a group, or split into two teams, to engage in a wilderness survival challenge game.
But for some reason, Jiang Nuo and Mu Qiuniang were excluded from the start. The other 8 were willing to form their own group rather than accept the two of them.
Fans watching the TV show were very worried. Especially Huaxia glutinous rice fans, some even angry: "How can they do this? It’s obvious they’re trying to make it difficult for Jiang Nuo and Qiuniang."
"This is too much! How can they bully people like that? If anything happens to my Jiang Nuo and Qiuniang, I won’t let them get away with it."
"It’s infuriating! If my idols weren’t on the show, I wouldn’t watch it at all, it’s so unfair!"
...
However, the anger of the fans could not reach the show.
At this moment, Jiang Nuo and Mu Qiuniang were left by the other 8 in the icy wilderness. In such a vast ice and snow world, their figures seemed so small.
Yet on camera, they showed no bitterness of being abandoned by their group; they exchanged a look, in silent understanding and warmth.
"Honey, you look like a ball right now!" Jiang Nuo teased Mu Qiuniang.
He had no choice; Mu Qiuniang’s petite frame, bundled up in such a thick army-green parka, looked quite amusing indeed.
Were it not for that same expressionless face, inexplicably cute, she would almost be unwatchable.
In contrast, Jiang Nuo had a great stature, considered average even among foreigners, but his build seemed a bit more delicate.
With an army-green parka draped on him, under the pressure of his powerful aura, he looked more like a fashion model.
Mu Qiuniang rolled her eyes at him: "Who’s to blame for this look?"
"Hehehehe... Don’t be mad, it’s my fault, I’ll make it right." Jiang Nuo said with a playful grin, trying to embrace Mu Qiuniang, who was obviously struggling to move with so many clothes on.
"What are you doing?"
"You’re wearing too much, it’s hard to move. I’m figuring out how to carry you comfortably."
"Actually, I’m not afraid of the cold."
"No way! You’re my wife; even if I have to freeze myself, I can’t let you get cold. Don’t worry, even with you on my back, we’ll find the tent before them."
Jiang Nuo tried it out and found that carrying her was indeed not very convenient, so he decided to piggyback her instead.
Thus, he set off with a round figure on his back.
Fans: [Though I don’t want to laugh, somehow this scene feels really romantic!]
[Hey! The snow’s so thick, walking alone is hard enough, and yet the idol is carrying someone else—surely that’s a problem? I’m more worried they’ll run out of strength before finding the tent!]
[I’m worried too!]
...
However, Jiang Nuo didn’t seem to need anyone’s concern at all. As he walked, he kept telling jokes to his wife on his back, fearing she might be bored.
But Heaven knows, he had no talent for humor, and any good joke seemed dull coming from his mouth.
He laughed heartily himself, while Mu Qiuniang, riding on his back, remained expressionless.
Fans: [Hahahaha... Every time I see this, I just have to laugh!]
[Shouldn’t Jiang Nuo know his wife doesn’t get his jokes? Why doesn’t he ever learn from this and keep telling them anyway?]
[I think sweet talk would be more effective!]
...
"You went the wrong way, go right."
"Go left."
"Wrong again, go right."
...
On his back, Mu Qiuniang was like a vocal compass, cutting into Jiang Nuo’s jokes every now and then to change direction.
With close-up shots only, something seemed off, yet all you could hear was Mu Qiuniang correcting direction.
With some changes, they climbed a small hill.
As Jiang Nuo looked down, he surprisingly spotted a clearly marked flag.
"Honey, you’re amazing, we really found the tent!" Jiang Nuo was overjoyed, gently setting Mu Qiuniang down and kissing her passionately.
The cameraman, who caught up with them by jogging, nearly cried: "This is not logical! He carrying such a big person, how is he faster than me walking?!"
Dammit!
Jogging, I almost couldn’t keep up.
Perhaps Jiang Nuo’s lens was too leisurely, like he was taking a stroll with his wife on his back. Without the contrast of the other 8, nothing seemed amiss, until the footage compared both teams...
[What the heck?! Is this some post-production effect? Why can’t that big group match a guy carrying his wife (in English)?]
[I can’t believe it! Is this Huaxia’s physical prowess? It’s incomparable; are those 8 people slacking off (in English)?]
[Too fake! Must be the show’s team, afraid of Jiang Nuo’s influence, faking it (in English)!]
[I witnessed a miracle (in English)!]
[Our Jiang Nuo is unbeatable! Foreigners are so weak!]
[Hahaha... Did our Jiang Nuo slap them in the face? Does it hurt? Don’t worry, there’s more to come (in English)!]
[Long live Jiang Nuo! I love you, Jiang Nuo!]
[Jiang Nuo finally manned up this time, not dragging Qiuniang down!]
[Even though climbing the Great Firewall is tough, it’s worth it for Jiang Nuo!]
