CHAPTER 1404: CHAPTER 1308: MR. GU AND MRS. GU ARE THE MOST GENUINE COUPLE

It was just last night, lying on the sofa, listening to Xia Yangyang’s even breathing.

Gu Qichen was still suffering from severe insomnia.

Due to his inability to fall asleep for such a long time, he was constantly in a state of tense agony.

But just now, he had only slept for one hour.

And Gu Qichen felt wholly refreshed.

Yet at the same time, he felt a deep sense of loss.

It seemed that he could only truly rest when he shared a bed with her.

Xia Ye also slowly woke up.

After a brief preparation, the three of them set off.

When Xia Yangyang and family arrived at the TuLou gathering, they found that everyone except the village head was absent.

Xia Yangyang asked, "When does the task briefing start, are the others still napping?"

The village head smiled and said, "They have already gone to the woods to look for task cards, Mr. and Mrs. Gu are the most honest ones."

Xia Yangyang was surprised.

She subconsciously grabbed Gu Qichen’s sleeve: "Then we better hurry as well, or if the food is all found by them, we’ll go hungry tonight."

Being hungry herself was no big deal, but thinking of Xia Ye, Xia Yangyang felt a strong sense of mission.

Gu Qichen’s gaze lingered on Xia Yangyang’s hand for a second.

Then he spoke, "No need to rush, if it was so easy to find, they wouldn’t have skipped their naps to go there."

Indeed, just as Xia Yangyang and the group had barely stepped foot into the jungle, they encountered He Qiming and Li Wenwen.

Upon asking, they had been roaming around for an hour without finding a single card.

This mountain forest is called Treasure Forest.

True to its name.

It contains countless precious trees, medicinal herbs, and rare ingredients.

And stepping into it, Xia Yangyang was completely astonished.

It was just like Alice in Wonderland.

A long stream runs through the entire forest.

This stream is a clear spring flowing directly from behind Cloud Cliff Mountain, tasting crisp and fragrant when drunk directly.

Inside are towering trees and also small shrubs.

And even more, there are various colored flowers and fungi on the ground.

The air is filled with a refreshing fragrance, as if it baptizes the soul.

Xia Yangyang couldn’t help but exclaim: "There really is such a paradise."

Li Wenwen said: "A utopian hideaway really is a utopian hideaway, but this task is too hard. The task card only has a few hand-drawn pictures and no special features. Look at this one; I found several similar places nearby but not a single card, if this continues, we will go hungry tonight."

Li Wenwen’s words indeed reminded Xia Yangyang.

They need to act quickly as the cutoff is before time runs out.

There were only three hours in total.

After speaking, Li Wenwen, He Qiming, and He Bi left.

Xia Yangyang and Gu Qichen also started searching according to the hints on the task card.

After turning around for an hour inside, they had no gains.

However, they did bump into Lu Yao and Tang Rufeng.

Lu Yao and Tang Rufeng coincidentally found a recipe card.

It was for steamed jujube cake.

Xia Yangyang joked, "At least you won’t go hungry tonight."

Lu Yao said, "To find this card, my husband almost fell from a tree. The production team is really tricky, hiding the card in a tree. If it wasn’t for my husband being a climbing expert, we really couldn’t have gotten it. It seems the production team is intentionally making it difficult for us."
