After Lu Zhen applied the ointment, she was about to put down her rolled-up pants when Song Jia walked up to her and took the ointment from her hand.

He said helplessly, “That’s not how you use it.”

Before Lu Zhen could react, Song Jia squatted in front of her and rolled up her pants that were about to fall. Then, he wiped the ointment off Lu Zhen’s knee with a tissue. After doing this, he took out a suitable amount of ointment again and placed it in his palm.

After the ointment melted in his palm, he gently pressed his palm on Lu Zhen’s knee and massaged it gently.

Lu Zhen’s mind went blank. The warmth of the man’s palm passed through her skin and into her body, like hot water flowing into her body. Her face turned red.

How could he…? Lu Zhen’s breathing was a little rapid. She gritted her teeth tightly and restrained her itchy throat from making any sound.

Song Jia squatted in front of her. The man who could usually make all the company employees so nervous that they were about to suffocate with a look lowered his head to apply medicine for her.

Lu Zhen had a very strange feeling in her heart, but that feeling did not make her feel uncomfortable. Instead, it made her feel like she was floating in the clouds.

The air seemed to have become sticky bit by bit. She lowered her head slightly and could see Song Jia’s high nose bridge and exquisite creases in his double eyelids. He looked like a work of art.

She was clearly not hot, but Lu Zhen’s temperature was rising bit by bit. Her legs seemed to be numb. She could clearly feel the temperature of Song Jia’s palm and the pressure, but her legs were so stiff that she could not move.

After an unknown period of time, Song Jia gently lowered her rolled-up pants and placed the ointment back into the medicine box. He looked at Lu Zhen and said, “Is the intensity of tomorrow’s filming the same?”

Lu Zhen was stunned for a few seconds before she found her voice. She said in a dry tone, “It should be easier.”

Song Jia nodded and looked at the entrance of the tent. “Then have a good rest. I’ll leave first. Take care of your body. Don’t let it overexert itself because of work.’

Seeing that Song Jia was about to leave, Lu Zhen hurriedly stood up and wanted to send him off. Song Jia waved his hand. “Rest.”

A few minutes later, the temperature in the tent cooled down and Song Jia left.

Lu Zhen lay on the bed. Her knees were still soft, and the feeling of being massaged by Song Jia’s palms seemed to have not dissipated. She looked at the patterns on the blanket in a daze. She was originally very tired, but she does not feel sleepy at all now.

Lu Zhen took a deep breath and shook her head, driving those strange thoughts and feelings out of her mind. She closed her eyes and thought about nothing. Soon, her emotions calmed down and she gradually fell asleep.

The next day, after Lu Zhen woke up, Xiaoxiao opened the tent and walked in.

She handed a box to Lu Zhen and said, “1 went to buy knee pads. Put them on. I say, why are you working so hard to film a scene?”

Lu Zhen came back to her senses and quickly realized that something was wrong. Xiaoxiao didn’t see the bruise on her leg. Why would she buy knee pads?

Lu Zhen immediately understood that Song Jia must have asked Xiaoxiao to buy it. She bit her lip and did not continue asking. She put on her knee pads and started a new day of work.

After completing the filming mission in the Tucker Desert, Lu Zhen returned to the capital and prepared to participate in the recording of another variety show. This was a documentary life service jointly launched by Capital Television and Country Ts Creative Media.

In the show, the protagonists live together in small wooden huts in the countryside, bringing the audience a life scene of “self-reliance” ,

“self-sufficiency”, “passionate hospitality”, and “return to nature”.

The variety show, Welcome to My Home, had already been broadcasted for two seasons, and the response was very good. Lu Zhen was a guest in the fourth episode of the third season this time. She would be with Yang Na as a guest and go to the village house to live with the permanent guests for three days.

There were a total of four permanent guests in the production team. One was a famous emcee from a television station who could speak well, one was a famous middle-aged male actor with excellent culinary skills, one was a music singer who had returned from overseas, and the other was a young actress who had debuted as a child star. She was the same age as Lu Zhen and two months older.

Every season, the production team would choose a different filming location.

The first season was filmed in a small fishing village by the sea, the second season was filmed in a rural area in the plains, and the third season was filmed in a mountainous southern area.

In the first episode of every season, the four permanent guests would dress up and decorate the hut together. In the subsequent episodes, the four permanent guests would invite two to four guests to the hut..
