Chapter 11: Chapter 011: She Really Did It on Purpose Chapter 11: Chapter 011: She Really Did It on Purpose Taking her prize to gratify others, our leading lady’s move was pretty smooth.
Shen Yan turned her head to the accompanying VJ and said, “I hope the production team provides a generous meal for the first place. I’ve got quite the appetite.”
Now that she had said that, if the production team didn’t provide a large portion, wouldn’t that mean letting the losers snatch the winner’s reward?
Chu Jinghe was securing a sumptuous dinner for the other two teams.
That meant she and Mu Jincheng couldn’t very well shamelessly join in, could they?
Chu Jinghe, who snapped back to her senses, realized she had done something that didn’t please herself and nearly failed to keep her smiling face.
Which is to say, she and Mu Jincheng could only gnaw on a plate of vegetables tonight!
Mu Jincheng, who reacted belatedly, frowned and shot an icy glance at Shen Yan.
He didn’t believe for a second that Shen Yan wasn’t doing it on purpose.
Was this a new tactic to attract his attention?
First, she cleansed her face, attempting to seduce him with her looks, and when he showed no interest, she switched strategies.
Shen Yan was certainly persistent.
Thinking of Shen Yan still spying on him behind his back, Mu Jincheng felt repulsed.
Liu Qiang and the others’ expressions eased quite a bit.
Before anyone else could speak, Shen Yan turned towards Chu Jinghe and added with a smile, “Mr. Chu is truly beautiful inside and out! We juniors should all learn from Mr. Chu!”
Chu Jinghe forced a smile, “You flatter me, it’s all part of my duty!”
[Wuu~ always believe in Hehe’s character!]
[Hehe is truly beautiful inside and out. Even facing the fake princess, she maintains her composure and propriety.]
[Our Hehe is the fairy that descended to earth! Kind and upright!]
[Just a passerby here, but wasn’t that comment from Chu Jinghe to Shen Yan a bit fake princess-ish?]
[You’re the fake princess, your whole family is fake princesses. Look clearly, the one pretending to be a princess is Shen Yan!]
The moment anyone dared to criticize Chu Jinghe, fans immediately jumped out to fiercely defend her.
Chu Jinghe’s fans kept praising her, drowning out all the negative comments in the barrage.
The VJ received a call from Director Li and quickly turned the camera towards Chu Jinghe.
Chu Jinghe was drenched in sweat, and although her current discomfort was one thing, she felt as if the false eyelashes she put on this morning were about to fall off.
However, the VJ’s camera was not only on her but also close to her face.
Chu Jinghe instinctively stepped back a few paces and, perhaps by chance, tripped over Mu Jincheng’s foot, falling backward.
Chu Jinghe exclaimed in surprise, and Mu Jincheng reached out to catch her.
The scene froze with the two in a close embrace.
Fans from both sides crazily flooded the chat!
Mu Jincheng was sweating profusely, perhaps having sprayed on some cologne, the mix with sweat making his scent a bit unpleasant.
Chu Jinghe’s shirt stuck to his wet clothes, getting a large patch of her own shirt damp, and she stiffened.
Suppressing the disgust at the bottom of her heart, she quickly got up.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I wasn’t paying attention,” Chu Jinghe hurriedly apologized to Mu Jincheng.
Her posture was somewhat distant, which was not what Mu Jincheng wanted.
Reflecting on the fact that this was a live broadcast, Mu Jincheng also understood they couldn’t be overly intimate and start any unfavorable rumors that might hinder Chu Jinghe’s career.
“It’s okay, you didn’t do it on purpose! Come to think of it, I inadvertently took advantage,” Mu Jincheng said with humor to relieve the awkwardness between them.
Chu Jinghe met Mu Jincheng’s concerned gaze, her face flushing slightly, shook her head, and said softly, “I’m fine, let me help you up.”
Chu Jinghe looked at Mu Jincheng’s sweaty hand, suppressed the sticky feeling, and using a bit of effort, pulled Mu Jincheng to his feet.
Their hands clasped together, prompting the fans in the live stream to go wild shipping their pairing.
Shen Yan saw everything they did, and she wanted to burst out laughing on the spot.
It seems that the heroine doesn’t like the hero that much after all.
It was only because the hero was willing to flatter, and later his family background was revealed, that the heroine resolutely chose this man who loved her crazily.
For now.
The hero was just the heroine’s backup option.
After this episode, the heroine would find out about the hero’s background, and she’d show another attitude towards him.
Shen Yan didn’t care about the protagonists’ mess.
There were still over two hours until dinner.
Director Li quickly had someone distribute a small plastic bucket to each person and led the still unrested guests to the riverbank.
The sand on the riverbank was very fine, much softer than the sand at the beach.
Arriving at the riverbank, there were shady trees and a breeze.
It quickly cooled off.
Liu Qiang grumbled a few complaints, but he didn’t refuse to follow the large group to pick river snails.
It happened to be the breeding season for river snails.
There were many dense clusters of river snails by the rocky reefs; Director Li was letting them fend for themselves.
On the live broadcast screen, a supporting task was displayed.
This way, they could legitimately give everyone an extra meal.
Chu Jinghe was carrying a plastic bucket, walking beside Mu Jincheng.
The slanting sun cast a golden glow on the two, giving an illusion of a golden boy and a jade girl.
The VJ quickly adjusted the camera to the most beautiful angle, and a new round of screen flooding ensued in the live broadcast room!
Seeing the popularity rise, Director Li’s eyes nearly disappeared into his smile.
That’s more like it.
Stomp that rival romance reality show from next door into the dust!
Qin Ding Yue was holding a bucket, more excited than anyone.
The fans in the live broadcast room were covering their eyes, unable to watch.
Their silly girl always did things that made people roll around laughing.
“Snails, oh snails! Here I come!” Qin Ding Yue flung off her shoes and rolled up her pants, then dashed towards the river snails.
When she ran into the river, she splashed Liu Qiang and Zhou Jingming who were by her side.
Holding back her anger, Liu Qiang furrowed her brow and said, “Qin Ding Yue, can you act normal for once?”
So wild and madcap, truly irritating.
Qin Ding Yue just laughed, and her actions became less exaggerated.
“If you’re scared, then don’t go into the water,” Shen Yan noticed Wen Yan’s pale face; he was clearly still haunted by a fear of water.
Wen Yan was startled, not expecting Shen Yan to be so kind-hearted. He couldn’t help but also feel suspicious. Maybe Shen Yan was doing it on purpose.
Perhaps she was making it look like he was cowardly and weak to ruin his image.
He hadn’t expected Shen Yan to be so scheming.
He had underestimated her.
Wen Yan gave her a sidelong glance, repressed the fear in his heart, and walked into the water in a huff.
Shen Yan: “…”
What was that look just now?
Shen Yan watched them swarm towards the area with the most river snails; she chose the other side.
As she turned, she almost bumped into Mu Jincheng.
Shen Yan took a few steps back to steady herself.
But Chu Jinghe, who was at Mu Jincheng’s side, was hit by Mu Jincheng’s retreat and fell backward.
Mu Jincheng quickly turned to catch Chu Jinghe, but they both ended up falling into the water.
Mu Jincheng was pulled down by Chu Jinghe, and his whole body ended up resting on top of her.
The pose was suggestive.
The moment Mu Jincheng came down on her, Chu Jinghe’s face clearly changed.
Worried that he had hurt Chu Jinghe, Mu Jincheng immediately got up, his face ashen as he saw himself drenched, then he turned to look at Shen Yan with an iron-clad expression.
He, Mu Jincheng, didn’t believe for a second that Shen Yan’s move just then was accidental.
[What the heck, the fake princess really is shameless.]
[Angry angry angry.jpg, please, fake princess, stay away from my idol. This kind of clinginess is really gross.]
[Aren’t the fans of both sides going a bit too far? Shen Yan didn’t even see Mu Jincheng step behind her.]
[It’s just an accident. Is it necessary to make such a fuss?]
Shen Yan, seeing the indignant and ashen look on Mu Jincheng’s face, raised an eyebrow: “Sorry, I don’t have eyes on the back of my head.”
Just now Mu Jincheng and Chu Jinghe were clearly walking in that direction; how did they end up behind her? She wasn’t to blame.
Drenched, with her image utterly destroyed from the mud and sand, Chu Jinghe was feeling very irritated inside.
But for her public persona, she had to suppress her anger and not let it show.
Finding a moment away from the cameras, she looked at Shen Yan with a somewhat sinister look in her eyes.
“Mr. Chu, are you okay? I’m really sorry, I honestly didn’t see you guys walk behind me just now,” Shen Yan said, full of apologies as she extended her hand towards Chu Jinghe.
Chu Jinghe didn’t want to touch Shen Yan in the slightest.
Shen Yan was doing it on purpose, no doubt. She’s supposed to be kind-hearted? Then she’ll just peel that facade away layer by layer, slowly sapping away the heroine’s popularity.
Chu Jinghe looked at Shen Yan’s flawless, pale hand, her body tensing up slightly.
