It had to be said that Su Yang's reminder to Charlie had left Charlie feeling quite melancholic at this moment.
He naturally knew his own issues.
Pressing his lips together as he looked at Meimei, Charlie turned to Su Yang, "This is just my personality, otherwise I..."
"Otherwise you'd give up?" Su Yang understood what Charlie was thinking.
Upon hearing Su Yang's words, Charlie fell silent.
Su Yang was indeed correct; Charlie did want to give up.
After all, Charlie was facing too many romantic rivals.
And everyone else was eloquent, while Charlie had no idea what to say to girls.
So at this moment, Charlie harbored the thought of backing down.
Looking at Charlie before him, Su Yang, frustrated by his lack of ambition, punched him.
"Is this your spirit?" Su Yang looked at Charlie and said angrily, "Teacher Meimei clearly has feelings for you, how can you hurt Teacher Meimei's heart like this?"
"I..."
"What 'I'? Since you both have good feelings for each other, then interact properly now. I don't have much more to say to you."
Su Yang pointed to George, who was surrounding Meimei, and said, "Your romantic rivals might be more eloquent, but look at what kind of people they are. Do you really want Meimei to fall into their hands?"
Upon hearing this, Charlie looked at the people around Meimei.
There was George and several other men who looked quite sleazy.
Charlie really didn't know how this show chose its guests; they were all oddballs.
Charlie meant that he himself was also an oddball.
And Su Yang's actions in the restaurant earlier made Charlie feel that Su Yang was also an oddball.
Hearing Su Yang's words, Charlie was actually somewhat moved.
Because looking at George and the others, they truly were...
Standing next to Meimei, Charlie felt as if they were defiling her.
"What do you think?" Su Yang asked, looking at the pensive Charlie.
Charlie pursed his lips, looked at Su Yang, and said, "I'll try my best."
"Can you stop speaking with such a lack of firm resolve?" Su Yang frowned, pointing to the male guests and then to Charlie, "Don't you realize the gap between you and these people?
How are they any better than you?"
Hearing Su Yang's words, Charlie pursed his lips again.
"They are better at talking, they can talk to Teacher Meimei... not like me."
"But look, when Teacher Meimei faces them, is her expression happy?"
Charlie looked at Meimei. At this moment, Meimei did have a smile on her face, but it was a smile of helplessness, very perfunctory. It was obvious at a glance that Meimei was just going through the motions with those people.
Moreover, Meimei's brows were furrowed, and she truly didn't look happy.
"Think about it carefully, whether you want to continue interacting with Teacher Meimei. I feel that Meimei is truly different around you than around them."
Saying this, Su Yang patted Charlie's shoulder, "I'll go help over there. You interact and talk properly. If you have any problems later, you can ask me."
As a friend, this was all Su Yang could do for Charlie.
After patting Charlie's shoulder, Su Yang left him.
He had been assigned to the group searching for firewood, and Bama and the others had gone into the woods.
During the time Su Yang was talking to Charlie, Bama and the others had left without mentioning Su Yang, which was quite surprising to Su Yang.
Not much firewood was needed, so only five people went to search for it, and Su Yang was one of them.
Originally, Su Yang thought that Bama and the others wouldn't do anything bad to him.
At least Bama had seen Su Yang's great strength before, and Bama and the others definitely knew that Su Yang had spent so much money on a meal.
But if they knew Su Yang was so capable and still kept provoking him... then Su Yang truly had no choice.
This person was asking for trouble, deliberately seeking dissatisfaction, something Su Yang couldn't control.
As soon as Su Yang entered the woods, he began to search for firewood.
There was plenty of firewood in the woods, but it was scattered in different places and somewhat disorganized.
There wasn't much good firewood suitable for barbecuing. The small, scattered pieces weren't needed; what was needed were pieces about the thickness of a wrist.
Su Yang's approach was very clear. After entering the woods, he began to search for the firewood he wanted.
He wasn't someone who had grown up in a greenhouse, so he understood many things and wasn't fussy. He wasn't incapable of doing any kind of work.
Otherwise, Su Yang wouldn't have survived in the wild for so long during his previous battle with Shangguan Zhongtang.
There was quite a bit of firewood in the woods, and Su Yang quickly gathered a bundle. He picked it up and felt it was enough. He thought that the others would also find a lot of firewood, so he took his bundle and prepared to return.
Before he could even start walking back, Su Yang sensed someone rapidly approaching him.
"Yo? Isn't this Su Daliwang?" Bama led the way, four people standing in a line in front of Su Yang.
Su Yang: ...
He hadn't expected these people to still be so persistent.
He had already revealed his advantages in all aspects.
Strong and rich, neither of which they could achieve, so why were they still blocking Su Yang?
Su Yang couldn't understand it at all.
Looking at Bama before him, Su Yang raised an eyebrow and said, "Just ordinary strength, what's up?"
His tone and demeanor were exactly the same as before, as if he were just an ordinary person afraid of Bama.
Bama snorted upon hearing this, "Stop pretending with that tone. You must be quite ruthless in private, right?"
Su Yang: "I don't know what you mean."
Su Yang's ruthlessness hadn't been revealed yet; he had only displayed his strength and wealth. Yet Bama said Su Yang was extremely ruthless in private?
Although that was indeed the case, Su Yang didn't understand why Bama would say that.
Su Yang hadn't done anything to these people yet.
If Su Yang had done something, this show would have been canceled long ago.
Even if the director and producers were still there, the host would have been replaced.
Su Yang looked at Bama before him, completely bewildered. He was truly confused.
Bama snorted again, then looked at Su Yang, "What are you pretending for? Tell me, what are you like in private?"
Su Yang: ?
Looking at Bama with a confused expression, Su Yang was truly speechless.
He put down the firewood in his hands, looked at Bama, and then at his "henchmen" around him, and said with a smile, "We Chinese people are always easygoing and pleasant to talk to. This is my true nature.
But I think I said before that I am friendly to those who are friendly to me, and I will not ignore those who are constantly hostile towards me."
"For example?"
Su Yang smiled and said, "For example, if I'm pushed too far, I will take action."
Upon hearing this, Bama threw his head back and laughed heartily, then looked at Su Yang, "Don't you just have a few stinking dollars? A nouveau riche? You look like a nouveau riche who has never seen the world."
Bama looked at Su Yang with disdain, "Who knows how you got all that money? And spending it like this, just to show off on the show, you must be heartbroken inside, right? Your fortune is probably all gone, hahaha."
Su Yang raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. So this was how they thought of him.
Su Yang had always thought that if one didn't have billions, normal people wouldn't spend money like this, right?
Who wouldn't leave some fallback for themselves?
In these people's eyes, they actually thought Su Yang was someone who would spend his entire fortune on a meal just to show off on the show?
Su Yang didn't understand Bama at all, nor did he understand any of these people.
Looking at Bama before him, Su Yang pursed his lips and said, "You can think whatever you want. You're in front of me now, what do you mean by blocking me?"
Saying this, Su Yang pointed towards the beach and said, "Don't you know they need firewood over there right now?"
