GTFSFR 31

Chapter 31 The 30th day of getting disliked

When Shi Wei opened her eyes, it was already dawn.

After a night of rain outside, the air was filled with the fragrance of grass and soil.

The weather after thunder was always exceptionally clear.

Look, it was the same every time. Bear with it and it will pass.

Shi Wei struggled to get up, but found that her hand was tightly held by something. She turned her head in confusion and saw Sheng Jingchen, who was already asleep on the bed.

One of his hands held her hand and the other rested under her chin.

Maybe because he didn't sleep all night, there was a shadowy stubble on his noble and handsome face as well as light dark circles under his narrow and long phoenix eyes. His hair, which was always combed meticulously, drooped a few strands. It made him look a bit decadent.

Shi Wei only noticed at this time that she had laid on the bed at some unknown time. There was an IV drip on her other free hand.

"Host, you had a fever last night. On top of that, you fainted from fright. It was the villain who took care of you all night!"

Shi Wei was a little surprised.

In her dream, she did feel someone was taking care of her. She thought it was a dream and that the person who was taking care of her was Grandmother. Unexpectedly, it was Sheng Jingchen.

"The family doctor didn’t come?" Shi Wei asked.

"He did come. Housekeeper Wu asked the villain to rest, but the villain seemed to be worried about you... so he took the initiative to stay... Host, the villain seems to be really different to you..."

Shi Wei could feel that Sheng Jingchen really treated her differently from what she thought before.

However, under the situation where Father Shi and Mother Shi assumed that she was their biological daughter, they could abandon her. When Father Xia and Mother Xia knew she was their biological daughter, they still treated her as a stranger...

How credible was the feeling from a strange man?

"Sheng Jingchen, will he stay with me forever?"

Shi Wei laughed at herself.

It was impossible. She was used to being abandoned.

She was a villain in the novel. The moment her character was set, she was destined not to be loved.

Don't have any hope for anyone, so there won't be any disappointment in the end.

Sheng Jingchen woke up at some point, rubbed his sore arms, and looked at Shi Wei.

"You’re awake?" Shi Wei said softly, "I'm sorry... I troubled you last night."

"Are you okay?"

"All okay."

"En," Sheng Jingchen nodded, "Then I'll go to the company."

"Okay."

Sheng Jingchen got up. The luxurious pajamas were already wrinkled because they were creased all night.

When he walked to the door, he suddenly stopped and said, "Last night, no trouble."

Shi Wei was stunned. She didn't expect Sheng Jingchen to say such a sentence out of the blue. Then he said, "And, I will."

I will stay with you.

-

The news of Xia Duoduo being kicked out of the Xia Family spread throughout the wealthy circle.

The news of the real and fake heiress caused a sensation. Even so, the Xia Family had always known about it, so people in the wealthy circle didn't think that the Xia Family would do anything to Xia Duoduo because of it.

But the next day, they learnt that the Xia Family had kicked Xia Duoduo out.

Almost overnight, the to heiress of the wealthy circle became a street rat that everyone hated.

Yu Manman, who liked to eat melons and read gossip, went to investigate and found out that Xia Duoduo had fueled the Ye Yu incident. All the marketing on the Internet that discredited Shi Wei later was Xia Duoduo's work.

From this point of view, Xia Duoduo deserved being kicked out by the Xia Family!

She was clearly an adopted daughter, but why couldn't she figure out her position?

Shi Wei didn't know how Xia Duoduo was doing recently. She was occupied with W2’s matters and had no time to care about the affairs of the wealthy circle.

Come to think of it, it was quite interesting. When a person had nothing to do and could only be a pampered rich lady, the trivial things in the wealthy circle became particularly important. Such as whose family bought a limited edition bag, or whose man kept a mistress... But once there was something to do, time would become fast and busy.

Shi Wei could only clearly feel Xia Duoduo's disgust for herself. Her dislike value soared to more than 5,000 after the real and fake heiress incident. After she was kicked out of the Xia Family, it soared to more than 8,000.

Xia Duoduo had the habit of hating her fiercely a few times every day. So tens of thousands of dislike values ​​could be racked up every day.

Later, Shi Wei felt that it was boring to watch, so she asked the system to turn off the notification.

The task given to her by the system at the beginning was to be a good vicious female supporting character. At least according to the current results, in Xia Duoduo's cognition, she did a good job as a ‘vicious female supporting character’.

It was just that Xia Duoduo didn't seize the opportunity to climb up, always thinking of some crooked ways. If not, she would have reached the peak of her life like in the novel.

During this period, Zhao Meiqi and Xia Derong always came to find Shi Wei.

Like Xia Yiwen at the beginning, they didn't believe that Shi Wei had completely severed ties with the Xia Family, thinking that Shi Wei would come back as long as they persuaded her for a few days.

But after being rejected many times at Sheng Family's Manor, they realized that Shi Wei was serious.

The Xia Family's dinner table’s atmosphere gradually became depressed. Xia Derong and Xia Yiwen used work to numb the sadness of losing their daughter/sister, while Xia Yuanzhou trained all day long. Gradually, Zhao Meiqi was the only one left at the dinner table.

Shi Wei left and the Xia Family didn't become better because of this. Instead, it had already fallen apart.

Zhao Meiqi knew that if there was any blame, then it was because they didn't properly treat Shi Wei from the beginning.

It was they who pushed Shi Wei to a farther place with their own hands.

Shi Wei didn't know about these matters in the Xia Family. She asked the security guards of the manor not to let the Xia Family in.

During this period, she and Ye Wenqing have been occupied with W2. ‘Scientific Cultivation of Immortality’ was proceeding in an orderly manner. The script had passed the review of the radio and television some time ago and the cast recruitment had been completed. During this period, the main acting team had been reading the script in Hengdian Hotel. It usually took one to two weeks. It just happened that Shi Wei was finished with W2 matters and could go to the crew to supervise the production for one or two weeks.

The recent core of W2 was to launch the ‘Earth’" IP series of movies and a series of investment in the movie.

'Earth' was a work that won the International Hugo Award some time ago. After winning the award, the sales of physical books have exceeded 30 million copies. In the novel, the 'Earth' series of movies kicked off the prelude of science fiction movies in their country’s film industry and created the miracle of the top 1 box office movie in the film industry.

Shi Wei and Ye Wenqing certainly wouldn't think of developing such a god-level IP by themselves. The workload was so huge that they couldn't handle it alone. They needed other investors to join.

The investment promotion of the 'Earth' IP was the first time W2 met the media.

After two busy weeks, the 'Earth' investment promotion meeting finally kicked off in the largest exhibition hall of the Waldorf Hotel.

On the day of the investment promotion meeting, many media were invited to the destination. Before the investment promotion started, major marketing accounts had already opened the live broadcast room to prepare for the live broadcast.

Though the IP investment didn’t really have much to do with these media, it was rumored that the bigshot behind W2 would meet with everyone today.

This was the bigshot who bought most of the popular IPs on the Internet before the IP fever!

Some senior people in the film and television industry have predicted that the IPs bought by this bigshot were the most promising adaptation IPs at present. It could be said that the works that will be popular in the next ten years may have the shadow of this bigshot!

【Private investment of 200 million to buy Tianyao with hundreds of well-known IPs in hand, including an international IP like 'Earth'! This bigshot must be a senior person in the industry, right? 】

【After I heard about the IP fever, many film and television masters went to W2 to buy IPs. The IPs that were bought for hundreds of thousands at the beginning could now be sold for millions or tens of millions. Isn't it a profit! 】

【The bigshot is worthy of being a bigshot. What sharp eyes! 】

【I think the team of 'Scientific Cultivation of Immortality' was good. The big guy obviously wants to make a movie seriously. He found the original author to adapt it. I am looking forward to it! 】

…

The heads of the film and television departments of the Sheng Family, the Xia Family, and the Ye Family came to the investment promotion meeting.

In addition to wanting to get to know the bigshot behind W2 and purchase IPs, they want to participate in the investment of 'Earth' IP.

Such a big project had won the Hugo Award. It will definitely be a hit movie!

The leader of the evaluation team of Shengshi Group gave a box office forecast for Earth early on. If the Sheng Family's Film and Television Department was allowed to film it, the investment will be less than 500 million and the return will be at least 5 billion!

The Xia Family had long had the ambition to enter the film and television industry. Although they wanted to buy Tianyao Film and Television before. It was somewhat due to Xia Duoduo. But even without Xia Duoduo, Xia Yiwen firmly believed that the huge profits of film and television will not lose to the traditional real estate industry. Investing in the IP of 'Earth' was a good way to enter the industry.

As for the Ye Family, since Ye Wenqing started to co-found W2 with Shi Wei, she hadn’t been so concerned about the power struggle of the Ye Group. The Ye Family was complicated. Even if  old Mister Ye was sorted, there were still a bunch of uncles to deal with! Ye Wenqing simply put her focus on W2 and comfortably receive her dividends.

At this time, Ye Tingyue was called back to the Ye Family by Old Mister Ye. The Ye Family may not put as much energy into film and television as the Xia Family, but as a triple-gold film emperor, Ye Tingyue naturally knew how profitable the 'Earth' IP project was and he wanted to get a piece of the pie.

So, the investment promotion of the new film and television company attracted the three giants in the capital.

The three young heirs stood together, frequently attracting the attention of others.

Sheng Jingchen and Ye Tingyue have known each other since childhood. When they met, they talked about the investment in 'Earth'. Xia Yiwen came up later. The investment promotion and IP were handled by his own people in the film and television department. He was more curious about Shi Wei's situation.

"Weiwei...how is she doing lately?" Xia Yiwen asked Sheng Jingchen a little stiffly, "I heard that Weiwei is afraid of thunder. After the last birthday party, there was so much thunder. Was Weiwei okay?"

Sheng Jingchen narrowed his eyes slightly and didn't hold back with Xia Yiwen, "It had been two weeks since Shi Wei's birthday party. Xia Yiwen, you only know this now. Isn't it too late?"

Xia Yiwen choked and couldn't refute.

Shi Wei was afraid of thunder and he didn't know this all this time. It was only after the housekeeper reminded him that he realized that Shi Wei was afraid of thunder. It was after the assistant went back to the place where Shi Wei lived when she was a child to investigate that he knew that Shi Wei was abandoned by the Shi Family when she was little.

He only knew that Shi Wei valued family affection before, but he didn't know why she cared so much.

But now when he knew it, it was too late.

Xia Yiwen smiled bitterly, "I have no intention to make Shi Wei return to the Xia Family. I only want to know how she is doing recently." 

Xia Yiwen realized earlier than Zhao Meiqi and Xia Derong that it was a luxury to make Shi Wei return to the Xia Family. 

"She’s doing great," Sheng Jingchen said, "Maybe, she is doing better than you think." 

Xia Yiwen couldn’t understand what Sheng Jingchen meant. 

While Ye Tingyue had long known from Ye Wenqing’s side that his younger sister and Shi Wei were working together. 

Watching the scene of Xia Yiwen's dejected departure, Ye Tingyue sighed, "Say, if the Xia Family knew that Shi Wei was so outstanding, would they still be so partial to Xia Duoduo?" 

The news that Shi Wei severed her relationship with the Xia Family spread throughout the wealthy circle. 

Partiality was common in the wealthy class. With so many children, one will inevitably be partial. In the past, the reason why the Xia Family favored Xia Duoduo was that they mistakenly thought that Shi Wei had snatched away Xia Duoduo's engagement partner as well as feeling that Xia Duoduo was more elegant, beautiful, and generous, and more worthy of the status as the daughter of the Xia Family.

Shi Wei, a rural girl, seemed to be unpresentable no matter how one looked at her.

But if they knew the truth, they would probably regret it.

Most people, like the Xia Family, don't know the truth.

Whether it was other people in the wealthy circle or netizens who know that Shi Wei and the Xia Family have severed ties.

【To be honest, Shi Wei's eyes are still too shallow. Although the Sheng Family is great, how can a husband compare to her own biological parents? It isn't a wise move to sever ties with the Xia Family and rely on the Sheng Family! 】

【+1, she is truly a rural girl with no knowledge. Young Master Sheng being good to Shi Wei is more or less because of the Xia Family. If she breaks off ties with the Xia Family like this, will the Sheng Family still recognize her as their granddaughter-in-law? 】

【It feels like as long as the Xia Family puts pressure on the Sheng Family, the Sheng Family will most likely give up Shi Wei. After all, it's just an engagement! 】

…

Half an hour later, the investment promotion meeting officially began.

The first person to show up was Ye Wenqing, the CEO of W2.

She first gave a brief introduction to W2. As a film and television company, W2 was now preparing projects such as the S-rated project 'Scientific Cultivation of Immortality' and the much-anticipated 'Earth' IP. In addition, W2 will prepare to shoot 2-3 film and television works in the second half of the year.

In terms of artists, W2 had plans to cultivate artists. Artists signed by W2 could get priority to play roles in W2-invested dramas.

'Scientific Cultivation of Immortality' and 'Earth' series were both good cakes. The news announced by Ye Wenqing undoubtedly made many newcomers who want to enter the entertainment industry excited.

Finally, Ye Wenqing solemnly introduced the chairman of W2, who was the person in charge of the 'Earth' IP series, and she would introduce the 'Earth' series of projects to all investors.

When the exhibition hall of the investment promotion conference slowly darkened, the resume of the young chairman was projected on the huge screen. She graduated from the highest institution of learning in the country, Capital University and was responsible for many projects on campus. She won international awards... In her hands were hundreds of well-known IPs...

She wasn't a bigshot in the industry.

But her achievements in the film and television industry in a few months cannot be underestimated.

When Shi Wei appeared in front of everyone, everyone took a breath.

【Shi Wei? ? ? 】

【The bigshot behind W2 turned out to be Shi Wei? ! 】

【Oh my God! Many marketing accounts have guessed many people before, but no one thought it would be Shi Wei! 】

【But Ye Wenqing have no reason to lie...】

【Junior student at Peking University here...I had the honor of working with Senior Shi before, and participated in a venture capital competition project together. At that time, she used one million and made 100 million in 24 hours! 】

【Ah! I participated in that competition...but I lost all my money. I saw Shi Wei's name in the entertainment industry section before. Just thought it was someone with the same name. Unexpectedly, she is that bigshot! 】

【If it’s Shi Wei, I can completely understand why she broke off relations with the Xia Family. She doesn't need to rely on the Xia Family and the Sheng Family. She can build a wealthy household by herself! 】

【Sure enough, self-reliance is the hard truth! 】

...

Xia Yiwen stared blankly at Shi Wei, who was on the stage introducing the IP of 'Earth' with great grace.

Outstanding graduate of the Finance Department of Capital University? Chairman of W2?

He had... never really got to know Shi Wei.

The Xia Family always thought that Shi Wei was a wild child who grew up in the countryside. How good could she be without the elite education of the rich and powerful? But in the end, she was their own daughter and they could not give her up.

But now they knew that Shi Wei had always been excellent.

Four years ago, before she returned to the Xia Family, she was admitted to Capital University. This was the result of her own efforts and had nothing to do with the Xia Family. She didn't understand the useless etiquette of the upper class in the rich and powerful circle, but it didn't mean that she was a bad person.

Xia Yuanzhou, Zhao Meiqi, and others saw the scene of the investment promotion conference through the media live broadcast.

Their surprise wasn’t any less than Xia Yiwen.

Xia Yuanzhou still remembered that he had seen Shi Wei's university admission notice.

At that time, the family was holding a celebration for Xia Duoduo's admission to the Capital Film Academy. When he saw Shi Wei's admission notice, he subconsciously felt that it was fake.

He laughed at Shi Wei, "How can a farm girl like you get into Capital University? You even bought a fake admission notice!"

Unforeseen, the notice was real.

They, the children of wealthy families who have always enjoyed elite education, may not be able to get into Capital University.

Because they couldn't doesn't mean that Shi Wei couldn't.

The pearl had been covered in dust. They held that fake daughter in their hand for so many years and finally realized that their sister/daughter was the best one.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

 Chapter 7 

[Is Gu Qi so fierce? She even take this road? Her desire to win is too strong]

[Someone who wants to win more than Jiang Lechuan has been found.  ]

 [@Jiang Lechuan, why don't you two have a fight? ]

 [Besides being aggressive, these two are very similar in their desire to win ]

 [Goodness, you two should be one family, right? ]

 [Wen Renjing: I should be under the car ]

 [So... does no one really feel that Gu Qi and Jiang Lechuan are a good match? Don't forget that their scandal hasn’t been resolved yet!  ]

 [You forgot about Wen Renjing again, right? There’s going to be a fuss!  ]

Gu Qi didn't have such a strong desire to win.

She simply thought that this road was the shortest and the easiest to climb.

Thinking this, Gu Qi kept speeding up her pace.

The cameraman followed her and didn't feel anything at first. But after climbing for half an hour, she didn't slow down and his physical strength gradually couldn't keep up.

More importantly...

The path they took was very strange. It wasn't any of the paths given by the production team. They didn't see a single tourist in half an hour.

Although the production team had limited the flow of people to a certain extent due to the program recording, it shouldn't be so deserted, right?

They were about to pass through a forest.

The cameraman finally couldn't help it and asked, "Teacher Gu, what road are we taking?"

"Small road." Gu Qi answered. Her pace was still swift.

[It is what it is]

[Gu Qi is still as ‘frigid’ as ever]

[Gu Qi's face is absolutely stunning. Blue mountains, green waters, and red skirts. Those who don't know would think she came here to take photos]

[Really cool. How can someone walk so beautifully, amazing]

[@Nuwa, give me an explanation? ]

Soon, because Gu Qi didn't talk much, the audience in her live broadcast room, which wasn't many to begin with, naturally became fewer and fewer. They all dispersed to other live broadcast rooms.

Then Gu Qi's footsteps suddenly stopped.

The cameraman breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she was finally going to give up.

Gu Qi looked back at the cameraman. Seeing sweat on his forehead, she asked, "Are you tired?"

The cameraman said politely, "If you are tired, we can take a break."

"I'm not tired." Gu Qi looked into his eyes and asked again, "Can you continue?"

Cameraman: "?"

Of course he was tired, but his dignity made him unwilling to admit that his physical strength wasn't as good as that of a female star, so he could only grit his teeth and hold on: "Of course, I can."

Gu Qi nodded to show that she understood and left a sentence "Tell me when you are tired" and continued to move forward.

Cameraman: "?"

Did she really not need to rest?

[Cameraman...are you really not tired? But your voice is panting! ]

[Above, what do you know? This is about a man's dignity! ]

[But Gu Qi's physical strength is truly great. Among the others, Jiang Lechuan is currently the most ahead, but he had already rested twice]

[Jiang Lechuan was just too aggressive at the beginning, okay? Who runs so fast at the beginning of a marathon! ]

[Report! Wen Renjing went down the mountain after confirming Jiang Lechuan’s strong momentum! ! ! ]

[Wen Renjing: My younger brother is going all out, but can’t let elder brother try any harder]

[Hahahaha, making a pit for younger brother without batting an eye, right?]

[Gu Qi’s state looks pretty good]

[Why do I feel like Gu Qi might really win? Jiang Lechuan, danger!]

The cameraman gritted his teeth and followed for another twenty minutes. He didn’t know if it was his imagination, but he felt that Gu Qi’s speed was even getting faster and faster.

Finally he couldn’t endure it anymore.

When his hand was shaking with the equipment, he finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

No, he had to rest, otherwise he would have worked in vain if he dropped the equipment!

So the cameraman still struggled to pull his face down and asked, “Teacher Gu, can we… rest for a while?”

Gu Qi stopped, thought for a moment, and asked, “Can you hold on for another two minutes? There’s a cooler place ahead.”

The cameraman nodded repeatedly.

Two minutes later. Looking at the graves piled up in front of him, the cameraman held up the camera and sat on a big rock chosen by Gu Qi for him. He scanned at the tree and felt his legs shivering.

Who could tell him why there was a graveyard on the way up the mountain? The director didn't say there was such a thing!

In fact, it was okay during the day, but there were so many trees here. The whole area presented an indescribable gloomy feeling.

There were no passers-by and the surroundings were so quiet that one could hear a leaf falling. Every time the wind blew, there would be leaves rustling around.

When the cameraman was frightened by a mantis crawling on him, he could only roar in his heart: Oh my God!

Daddy, Mommy, Grandfather, Grandmother —-

Doesn’t matter, any ancestor, help me! ! !

He didn't want to rest! He just wanted to leave quickly!

He gritted his teeth and asked, "Teacher Gu, why do we have to rest here?"

Gu Qi looked up at the big tree behind him and pointed, "It's cool here." 

Cameraman: "..."

He understood the truth, but who would choose to sit in front of a cemetery just to find shade to escape the heat! ?

[Damn, I thought the previous sisters were joking earlier. How come there is really a cemetery here! ? ]

[Didn't they say there are three? That's just the first one]

[The specific number of cemeteries depends on the route. It doesn't mean all three cemeteries must be passed]

[Isn't this a variety show? Inexplicably, it feels like a horror movie]

Gu Qi didn't care about these at all. She took out two bottles of water from the supply bag given by the director team, opened one bottle and drank it, and gave the other bottle to the cameraman. At the same time, netizens in the live broadcast room saw Gu Qi's backpack.

[Damn, there are five bottles of water in her bag? Huh? ]

[Not only that, there are cucumbers, bananas, compressed biscuits, and small bread... She is too well prepared, right? ]

[I thought the camera couldn't keep up because she was carrying light, but I didn't expect her bag wasn't light at all]

[I was wondering why Gu Qi took so many supplies when adding supplies just now. It turned out that she prepared for the cameraman. How thoughtful]

Although the cameraman felt weak in his legs, he took a short break, ate something, and drank some water to restore some energy. Then he suggested: "Teacher Gu, let's hurry along."

No matter how hard it was, it was better than sitting in front of a grave to rest!

However, Gu Qi raised her index finger to her lips to signal the cameraman to be quiet. Her expression was really serious.

At this moment, another gust of wind blew by, and a strange ‘creaking’ sound came from behind a big tree on the road not far away.

Cameraman: "!!!"

[The camera obviously shook! Elder Brother, are you scared?]

[Don't mention the cameraman, I'm scared too! ! !]

Gu Qi stood up and walked toward the way they came, leaving only one sentence: "I'll go take a look."

The cameraman wanted to cry but had no tears: "Teacher Gu, let's go quickly..."

Don't be so curious!

If he was given another chance, he will definitely not exchange. He was tired and scared. What on earth was he trying to do!

Though he said this, but with his cameraman's upbringing, his body instinctively followed Gu Qi. Can’t let the star leave his lens.

When Gu Qi walked to the tree, she was a little surprised.

She asked: "Ning Xiwei? What are you doing here?"

At this moment, Ning Xiwei and her cameraman were squatting behind the tree.

In this ‘gloomy’ environment, she had squatted hastily and there was a leaf on her face. Like this, she raised her head and looked at Gu Qi in a disheveled state. Her breathing instantly hitched up.

Gu Qi tilted her head slightly. The confusion on her face deepened.

Damn it! Gu Qi was too pretty!

Ning Xiwei hated herself for being a face-con. She was actually in the mood to admire Gu Qi's face at this time.

[? ? ? ]

[Where did Ning Xiwei come from? ]

[I just came over to answer everyone. The production team had added a new rule. Those who were originally resting can choose to ‘follow’ other guests up the mountain. If they can keep up and not be discovered, they will get extra points for their group.]

[ Eldest Miss Jiāng directly said that she believed in elder brother and didn't participate. While Xiaoxi was worried that her elder sister would lose, so she chose Gu Qi and wanted to do her part.]

[What a pity, she is still discovered by Gu Qi.]

[Nonsense, anyone who followed and found out that they were taken to the cemetery would be scared to death.]

If there was really a choice, why would Ning Xiwei be willing to come?

But her elder sister was obviously at a disadvantage in this game. Having the opportunity to help but doing nothing? That would ruin her character, okay?

So Ning Xiwei could only step forward and choose Gu Qi, who was relatively easy to follow. What’s more, her energy and initiative would be a sharp contrast with that stupid eldest miss, Jiāng Zhiyu.

She was a perfect idol who will never be criticized!

After chasing with the cameraman according to the location provided by the director team, she saw a cemetery. Ning Xiwei was still scared and tripped by a stone, resulting in her making a noise and getting discovered.

Ning Xiwei could only explain all this to Gu Qi, saying that her mission had failed. She uttered a dejected expression: "Then I will go down the mountain first."

Gu Qi looked at her for a few seconds and asked: "Do you still remember the way down the mountain?"

Ning Xiwei: "......?"

She turned around and looked at her cameraman.

The cameraman shook his head at her.

This scene was recorded by Gu Qi's live broadcast room.

[Hahaha the look between Ning Xiwei and the cameraman! It is clear stupidity]

[Did you forget the way down the mountain, hahaha]

[If you can't go down, just follow Gu Qi and continue climbing]

[No! Xiaoxi is particularly afraid of these! She just got frightened silly!  ]

 [This is really a difficult situation. Don't dare to go up nor down ]

…

When on the other side.

After Jiang Lechuan met a fan on the road and gave him an autographed photo, he borrowed someone else's phone to check the situation in other live broadcast rooms. After all, only by knowing oneself and the enemy can one win every battle!

Seeing that Wen Renjing actually ran away, Jiang Lechuan rolled his eyes and angrily switched to the next live broadcast room.

In the screen.

Gu Qi walked in front holding Ning Xiwei's hand, while Ning Xiwei followed behind her with her eyes closed. The two walked through a... um? A graveyard?

Forget it, that wasn’t important. Why was Gu Qi holding this person's hand? They weren’t familiar with each other, right?

Until they walked far away.

Gu Qi let go of her hand and comforted her: "Okay, it's okay."

Ning Xiwei looked back and glanced at the graveyard she passed by. Only after confirming that it was far away, she breathed a sigh of relief .

She looked at Gu Qi with red eyes, adjusted her state, and showed a sweet smile: "Thank you, Elder Sister."

[Elder Sister! Hehe! Elder Sister! ]

[Damn! Passing by! Take a bite! ]

[Cold and arrogant elder sister x energetic sweet younger sister. It's hard for those who don't understand! ]

[Gu Qi is so handsome when she said ‘close your eyes’ to Ning Xiwei and held her hand]

[Who said Gu Qi is a diva? I think she has a good personality]

[+1 above. It feels like the beauty is just a little quiet and frigid]

Jiang Lechuan held the phone harder and harder, with a not very happy expression on his face.

That was his elder sister!

What was she calling?

With this thought, Jiang Lechuan suddenly realized that he seemed to have not called Gu Qi elder sister today. He didn't even take the initiative to say anything to her.

Damn it!

How could this happen!?

Chapter 14

The roasted meat rolled on the fire and the rich meat fragrance directly wafted to the surroundings with the breeze.

With nimble hands and swift feet, Bai Xia soon finished grilling, distributed rabbit meat and mutated beast meat to everyone. The group immediately started eating.

The skin of the rabbit meat was roasted to a slightly crispy state. With just a light bite, the fresh and fragrant gravy with a salty and spicy taste burst in the mouth. With a casual tear of the hand, a large piece of rabbit leg meat with white hot steam was separated from the bone. After a few light chews, the tender rabbit meat immediately left a strong and colorful mark in the mouth!

Ye Wenya nodded. It was just an ordinary wild rabbit, but the taste was no worse than the low-level magic beasts she ate in her previous life.

The quality of the beast meat was much higher than that of ordinary beasts because the body of the magic beast was nurtured by magic power for many years. So the taste was excellent.

Unforeseen in this world, not only the number of magic plants was numerous, even the quality of ordinary beasts could compete with low-level magic beasts. Ye Wenya was a little curious. How good did the real mutated beast meat taste?

Just the unpleasant smell of the mutated beast meat made Ye Wenya hesitate. Should she try it?

At this juncture, Song Jiale’s action interrupted Ye Wenya’s hesitation.

Across from him, the black cat raised his head to stare at the three skewers of roasted beast meat in Song Jiale's hand. His eyes fixed on them and the word ‘want to eat’ was clearly written on his face.

Song Jiale frowned and waved his hand, trying to drive the black cat away like a fly, "Go away! Don't stay here. You can't eat these meats. We don't even have enough of these purified beast meats for ourselves. How can we share the beast meat with you?"

On the current planet K-0218, beast meat may not be hard to come by, but edible beast meat that had been purified with purification agents was extremely precious.

Unpurified beast meat contained a lot of impurities and toxins. Let alone improving their training speed, not slowing down their cultivation was rare. Therefore, even candidates like them may not be able to eat it every day, let alone share such precious purified meat with an ordinary beast.

"Awoo~!"

Seeing that the original plan failed, the black cat howled, stared at the roasted meat, and swung its tail impatiently.

"Xiao Hei, if you want to eat meat, come to me. I have roasted rabbit." Ye Wenya, who had just finished a piece of roasted meat, witnessed the whole process, and chuckled. She thought the black cat was hungry and waved at it.

Ordinary animals in this world were different from those in the magic continent. There was no problem even if they ate seasonings such as oil and salt. But the black cat didn't seem to want to eat the roasted rabbit in her hand. It turned his head and meowed at Ye Wenya. Then he walked around with cat steps and approached Jiang Hao, looking up at him - the roasted meat in his hand.

Jiang Hao looked down at the black cat, thought for two seconds, and decisively turned his head to the other side, hiding the meat behind his back.

Black Cat: “………”

“Hehehe… Classmate Ye, it looks like your cat wants to eat mutated beast meat!”

Bai Xia munched on the roasted rabbit meat and laughed, “Although I don’t like the taste of mutated beast meat, it has enough energy. Even ordinary beasts are attracted to it instinctively. Many people have tried it over the years. Ordinary beasts can greatly increase the probability of becoming mutated beasts from consuming more mutated beast meat on most days.”

Ye Wenya sat at the side, watching the black cat being disliked by Jiang Hao again, and shook her head helplessly.

She thought about it, took out the piece of mutated beast meat that she had simply purified with a low-level light-based healing potion from her backpack. Seeing that the eyes of the people around her were all on the black cat, Ye Wenya calmly smeared the spices on the meat. The juices of various plants mixed with some spice powder directly covered the piece of mutated beast meat, which was different from the normal translucent color. It was put on a wooden stick and roasted.

The aroma of the roast meat lingered in the breeze. Ye Wenya turned the skewers of meat in her hand back and forth.

Ye Wenya originally thought that as time went by, the mutated beast meat in her hand would emit the same unpleasant smell as before. Unexpectedly, as she was roasting, a special light fragrance accompanied by a strong roast meat aroma kept emitting out.

If the roast meat wasn’t in her hand at this time, she might not have been able to find the abnormality of the roast meat in her hand at the first instance.

Ye Wenya stared at the roast meat for two seconds without any expression. She didn't plan to share the roast meat with others temporarily.

The palm-sized mutated beast meat wasn’t much. It was soon roasted.

Xiao Chen's sensitive sense of smell almost immediately captured the special and tempting aroma of the roast meat. The black cat's pupils shrank slightly. It stepped directly to Ye Wenya's side, gazing up at her.

He had smelled this special meaty aroma earlier. 

This was clearly the meat of an mutated beast. The harmful impurities were removed at a rate of more than 99% and it gave off a special fragrance! 

Only by using a purification potion that was 2 levels higher than the meat of an mutated beast could such an effect be achieved! The price would increase several fold with each level increase in the potion level. Many high-level purification potions were even more expensive than the meat of the mutated beast. 

Not many people would be willing to spend money on this extravagant way of eating. Even an imperial marshal like him would rarely waste resources. 

"Meow~~~~" 

The black cat opened its round cat eyes, walked with its short legs to Ye Wenya's feet, stretched out its little paws, hooked her trouser legs, and stared at the skewers of roast meat without blinking. The words ‘I want to eat’ almost took root in its eyes. 

Ye Wenya couldn't help chuckling. Her deep voice could softened the hearts of the people around her. Her face like a peach blossom in March was particularly hot and dazzling.

For a moment, Bai Xia and the others beside her were stunned.

"Eat, eat. These are all for you. No need to be anxious."

Ye Wenya smiled at the black cat, took the roast meat directly from the wooden stick, divided it into suitable sizes, packed it on clean leaves, and then put it on the ground for the black cat to eat.

This black cat clearly didn't even let her touch it before, but this time, it turned around and came to her side for food. What a cunning little thing.

After eating the mutated beast meat in his hand, Song Jiale put down the wooden stick and looked over here with envy, "You are so good to it. You even roasted meat for it. My boyfriend in school isn’t that good to me!"

"Since I’m raising it, I must be responsible."

Ye Wenya smiled and rubbed the black cat's head, "After this lunch, we will separate. I wish you good luck in the exam... I also need to find teammates again and take the exam."

"Find teammates?! Classmate Ye, what do you think about Old Pan and me?! Old Pan and I are both sophomores like you!" Hearing this, Bai Xia instantly pricked up his ears excitedly.

GTFSFR 30

 Chapter 30 The 29th day of getting disliked

"Dad! Mom! Did Xia Shiwei expose the true and fake heiress matter? I knew it must be her. She can't stand me faring well!"

As soon as Father and Mother Xia returned to the Xia Family, Xia Duoduo immediately went to welcome them.

But the imagined comfort didn't appear. Seeing Xia Duoduo complain about Shi Wei as soon as she opened her mouth, Father Xia was so furious that he slapped Xia Duoduo in the face!

"You have no evidence, so on what basis can you say it's Shi Wei's fault!" Father Xia's wrinkled face flushed with anger. All his strength was vented by this slap, "Even if Shi Wei wants to publicly announce this matter, it's justified. It's not your turn to scold her!" 

Xia Duoduo was stunned by the slap and fell to the ground. A clear palm print was on her fair cheek. She stared at Xia Derong in disbelief and turned to Zhao Meiqi. 

How did it end up like this? 

Shi Wei didn't want this family anymore, while she was obediently waiting for them at home. How could they slap her as soon as they come back? 

"Dad, Mom..." Xia Duoduo’s tears gathered in her eyes, "What did I do wrong? Why are you treating me like this..."

"What did you do?" Zhao Meiqi frowned. She pointed at Xia Duoduo, her fingers were shaking, "What did you do, don't you know? Ye Wenqing went to the prison to see Xu Yangyang. She had told us everything about Ye Yu!"

Xia Duoduo opened her eyes wide. The words she had prepared to sell misery were stuck in her throat for a moment.

Xu Yangyang actually told Ye Wenqing all this... Did they know that it was her idea?

Xia Duoduo immediately shouted, climbed forward and hugged Zhao Meiqi's thighs tightly, "Mom! That Xu Yangyang is framing me! How can a criminal's words be taken seriously! I never gave them any advice. They themselves want to discredit Shi Wei!"

"We have no evidence for Xu Yangyang’s matter," Xia Yuanzhou said, "What about the room demolition incident? It was you who wanted to demolish Shi Wei's room to use as a cloakroom, and you still have the nerve to say that I framed you?"

Xia Duoduo's shoulders trembled. She cautiously threaded, "Yuanzhou, isn't that incident already over?"

"Over?" Xia Yuanzhou sneered, "Because it doesn’t benefit you, it's over?"

Xia Yuanzhou looked at Zhao Meiqi, "Mom, after that incident, I went to find the decorators on that day. They told me personally that the room was designed according to Xia Duoduo's favorite style. The layout is what she liked. So demolishing her own room to give Shi Wei a cloakroom is nonsense!" 

He turned back to Xia Duoduo, "You did something bad and framed others. You have used this trick not only on me, but on Shi Wei!" 

"I didn't! I didn't!" 

Scared, Xia Duoduo shook her head repeatedly. 

"And the engagement," Xia Yiwen suddenly spoke out, "Young Master Sheng had nothing to do with you, but you said that you and Young Master Sheng like each other, making us think that Shi Wei stole your engagement as well as making us feel more guilty toward you. Isn’t that right?" 

"What does it have to with the engagement?" Zhao Meiqi said in surprise. 

"Mom, you forgot that when Shi Wei came back, although we were a little biased, we didn't hate Shi Wei. But after Grandmother announced that Shi Wei and Young Master Sheng are engaged, Xia Duoduo cried for a long time, making us all think that Shi Wei had snatched Young Master Sheng away, the person Duoduo liked."

"We were completely biased toward Duoduo after the engagement and felt that Shi Wei was too scheming and wanted to compete with Duoduo for everything. But in fact, the Sheng Family wanted the daughter of the Xia Family. It had nothing to do with Duoduo. If Shi Wei hadn't come back, Duoduo could be engaged to Young Master Sheng. It wouldn't be because Young Master Sheng liked her, but because she was basked by our family’s blessing!"

Zhao Meiqi took two steps back in shock.

Due to the engagement, they always felt guilty toward Duoduo. Because the engaged party became Shi Wei, Zhao Meiqi had once felt that Shi Wei was a scheming child who loved to compete with Duoduo for favor. It made her dislike Shi Wei even more.

Originally, because coming back from the countryside, Shi Wei didn't know a lot of etiquette of wealthy families and was more casual. It made Zhao Meiqi complain a lot. Then adding the engagement, it made Zhao Meiqi feel that the daughter she found outside wasn't as good as the one she raised with her own hands.

But what kind of thing did she raise with her own hands!

Just then, the housekeeper hurried to Xia Derong. Assistant Lin of Shengshi Group had come.

Xia Derong immediately let him invite Assistant Lin in.

After all, he was someone from the Sheng Family. Perhaps this was the only connection between them and Shi Wei now.

Despite seeing the mess in the villa's living room, Assistant Lin was still as calm as ever. He nodded to Xia Derong and Zhao Meiqi as a polite greeting.

"President Xia, Mrs. Xia, President Sheng asked me to give you a document. It may be useful for you to teach your children tonight."

As Assistant Lin said, he handed a document to Xia Derong. Xia Derong took the document with a suspicious look on his face. Flipping through two pages, his frowning face became even gloomier.

After a moment, his fury exploded and he threw the document on Xia Duoduo's face,

"Look at what you have done!"

The document was suddenly collected and bound. It was clamped with loose-leaf book clips. When it was thrown, the book clips slipped and the papers fell to the ground.

Xia Duoduo glanced at the content on the paper. It was... evidence that she and Zhao Yi bribed the online marketing.

Xia Duoduo felt her blood coagulate.

"The engagement matter was messed up by the Ye Family kid. I can understand that it was an accident," Xia Derong said coldly, "Then what about your smearing Shi Wei on the Internet? Saying that she is a mistress? Don't use the tricks you use to fool netizens to fool me! Whether this is marketing or spontaneous remarks by netizens, do you think I can't find out?!"

"How did I raise a daughter like you! Raised such an ungrateful person like you!" Xia Derong almost had a heart attack. Xia Yiwen and Xia Yuanzhou immediately stepped forward to help Xia Derong calm his breathing.

Xia Derong took a deep breath before finally recovering. When he looked at Xia Duoduo again, he became even angrier. He pointed at Xia Duoduo and unceremoniously declared, "Get out! Get out of the Xia Family. We don't have a daughter like you in the Xia Family!"

-

Xia Duoduo was driven out of the Xia Family on a thundering night.

She looked back at the villa where she had lived for 22 years. It wasn't until this moment that she clearly realized that she had nothing left.

-

On the other side, Sheng Family Manor

"Don't..thunder... Don't......"

Late at night, Sheng Jingchen suddenly woke up.

The wind was howling, while lightning and thunder were heard in the dark night.

Lightning cut through the sky and rumbling thunder resounded throughout the night.

Listening carefully, the villa was quiet. Only Shi Wei's voice, through the layers of barriers, reached his ears.

Sheng Jingchen couldn't help thinking of the scene after the last date- Shi Wei curling up in the back seat of the Rolls-Royce and trembling.

Was she curling up like last time tonight?

Shi Wei's voice continued. The noise reduction headphones seemed to be ineffective. Whenever there was thunder in the sky, Shi Wei's heart tightened.

A little worried, Sheng Jingchen turned over, put on a coat, and walked out of the room.

Outside the room, Housekeeper Wu paced back and forth in the corridor, looking agitated.

Seeing Sheng Jingchen coming out, Wu Butler immediately greeted him with a variety of headphones in his hands.

"Sir! It's bad! Two days ago, the new servant was cleaning the room and broke Miss Xia's headphones. I remembered that Miss Xia is a little afraid of thunder, so I found all the headphones in the house..."

Sheng Jingchen frowned, "Why don't you send it to her?"

Housekeeper Wu stiffly replied, "I, I can't find Miss Xia!"

Shi Wei wasn't in the room.

There was a large and bright floor-to-ceiling window in the room where Shi Wei slept. Every morning, the early sun shone through the distant mountains and layers of branches and fell on the floor of the room. The shadows of the trees were mottled and vague. The picture was warm and beautiful.

But in the same way, every night with lightning, the lightning that tore the sky was particularly obvious in the scenery framed by the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Help, help..."

"Host! Host! Are you okay!"

"No, no p... make it through, and it'll be fine-ah!"

The girl's words of comfort to the system were interrupted by a sudden lightning in the sky.

Housekeeper Wu was still anxious because he couldn't find Shi Wei.

Sheng Jingchen took the headphones from Housekeeper Wu, "You go and rest. I know where Shi Wei is."

The manor villa was large, European-style architecture, with a floor height of more than five meters, and Ionic architecture towering to the sky.

After passing through empty rooms, Sheng Jingchen finally found Shi Wei in a small storage room.

Opening the double-door wardrobe, Shi Wei was curling up in a corner like a small animal and covering her ears tightly.

Her face was as pale as paper, while her shoulders couldn't help shaking.

There was another dazzling light in the sky.

The next thing should be the terrifying thunder.

Shi Wei subconsciously shrank tighter.

But the expected thunder didn't fall. There was warmth on her ears. The headphones covered her ears and soothing piano music came from them.

The girl's eyes were blurred with tears as she looked up in confusion and saw Sheng Jingchen in front of her.

Even after getting engaged, she rarely had the opportunity to get so close to Sheng Jingchen.

The cold night was covered by the man's breath.

Shi Wei was stunned, with a hint of confusion on her slightly frowned brows.

But as the thunder fell from the sky, she got startled. As she was about to retreat and continue to curl up, the man stretched out his long arms and took her into his arms.

By her side was the man's warm body temperature, dispelling the long night full of thunder.

Shi Wei suddenly remembered many, many years ago.

At that time, she was only three years old. It was on such a rainy night that she curled up in the closet at home.

There were no headphones and no one to accompany her. Shi Wei heard the constant thunder in the sky, as well as the endless quarrels between Father Shi and mother Shi——

"Our family is already in a bad state. How much money do you make a month and you still want me to have more children?!"

"Who told you to give birth to a daughter? If Shi Wei is a boy, would I need to let you continue to give birth? I worked hard to take care of you for ten months, but in the end, you gave birth to such a wasteful thing!"

"It's not my decision whether to have a boy or a girl! You asked someone to fortune tell and calculated that the baby was a boy. Now you blame me when it’s a girl?!"

In the eyes of parents and grandfather, girls who will eventually get married were wasteful things.

Only boys were qualified to be included in the family tree.

Little Shi Wei didn't understand these. She only knew that she wasn't the child expected to be born.

That night, she curled up in the closet and had a high fever.

As consciousness gradually blurred, she called for help from her parents in the closet.

Children inherently relied on their parents. No matter how much their parents hate her, Shi Wei firmly believed that they were her parents.

After arguing for most of the day, Father Shi and Mother Shi finally noticed Shi Wei, who was running a high fever in the closet, and hurriedly carried her to the hospital.

Shi Wei was like a drowning person, grabbing Mother Shi's sleeves, as if grabbing the last straw to save her life.

But she couldn't believe it. Her parents actually... abandoned her under a banyan tree near the hospital.

They didn't want to raise her.

Initially she wasn't a wanted child and she had a high fever, they estimated that it would be difficult to raise her in the future.

There were already two girls in the family... So, they threw her away.

Anyway, who would know in the remote places in the countryside?

Sick, Shi Wei struggled to open her eyes in the cold night and saw the backs of her parents leaving resolutely.

The thunder in the sky made their leaving figures more obvious. It was probably at that time that Shi Wei was completely afraid of thunder.

Thunder and unexpectedly abandoned.

The cold wind mingled with the heavy rain fell on Shi Wei through the branches, soaking her clothes. The clothes weren’t thick to begin with.

Shi Wei felt that her consciousness was getting farther and farther away, and more and more blurred...

Similarly, it was still a warm embrace that held her shaky body.

It was Grandmother

Grandmother held Shi Wei and hurried to the pediatric department of the hospital.

When Shi Wei woke up, she found herself in the ward with a worried grandmother next to her.

Grandmother Shi gently stroked Shi Wei's small hair, tears in her eyes, and seriously stated, "Weiwei, be good. Grandmother will raise you in the future. Grandmother will always be by your side."

3RYB 6

 Chapter 6 

[Ah? So why should the decision be given to Gu Qi? Is there any cause and effect relationship between them? ]

[It's weird that Wen Renjing proposed this method. And Jiang Lechuan actually agreeing to it is even weirder]

[I don't know why, but I caught ‘troublemaking’ written on Wen Renjing's face]

[Jiang Lechuan is different. It feels like if Gu Qi stood on Wen Renjing's side, he would stand up and slam the table immediately]

Gu Qi was silent for a few seconds and said, "Both of you climb."

Wen Renjing showed a helpless expression, while Jiang Lechuan didn't say anything to refute.

PD didn't take Gu Qi's words seriously and asked carefully, "Teacher Wenren, Teacher Jiang, your group?"

Wen Renjing shrugged, "Didn't you hear her? Both climb."

Jiang Lechuan barely squeezed out a sound of acknowledgement from his throat.

He would never lose to Wen Renjing in climbing a mountain.

[? ? ?  ]

 [No, they really listen to Gu Qi's arrangement?  ]

Getting the answer from these two people, PD turned to Gu Qi and asked: "Then Teacher Gu, do you have an answer? Which group do you want to join today?"

Ning Xiwei immediately looked over with expectation, and smiled sweetly: "If Elder Sis Gu Qi joins, we girls will help each other and work hard together!"

 [Sniff sniff, my daughter smiles so sweetly!  ]

 [She is afraid that other groups will dislike Gu Qi, so she took the initiative to give a step down. So considerate ]

At this moment, Jiāng Zhiyu smiled slightly: "Xiaoqi, Elder brother and I welcome you very much."

Of course she didn't welcome Gu Qi.

But she knew that Gu Qi wouldn’t agree and was just being polite.

Quite exaggeratedly, Wen Renjing directly opened his hands to express his welcome.

Jiang Lechuan said awkwardly: "Up to you."

Gu Qi looked up at Jiang Lechuan and then at Wen Renjing. She had a niggling feeling that the two of them would be noisy together. This wasn't good for her ears.

And to be honest, she didn't know how to get along with Jiang Lechuan for a long time.

But if she chose someone else, he would be unhappy as well as noisy.

So Gu Qi turned to the staff of the director team and put forward her idea: "Can I be in a separate group?"

Everyone: "???"

Jiang Lechuan let out a tsk sound and turned his face away from her.

The original plan prepared by the director team was to divide the first phase into four groups. Since Gu Qi proposed this, they would naturally not refuse.

In this way, Gu Qi could only rely on herself and must participate in mountain climbing.

The staff kindly reminded: "Teacher Gu, the winning or losing of the mountain climbing will be related to the choice of room tonight."

[What is Gu Qi thinking]

[Would you rather fight alone than join any group?  ]

[Just choose Jiang Lechuan and Wen Renjing group, they will win easily. What is she doing?  ]

[Looking for a sense of existence. She have a lot of hype methods]

The production team wasn't so heartless. They still provided sneakers to the guests when they arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Jiang Lechuan got out of the car, but he refused the staff to help him hold his coat after changing his shoes.

The staff obviously didn't expect this to happen and hurriedly explained: "Teacher Jiang, if you don't take off your coat, you will definitely get heatstroke when climbing the mountain."

Jiang Lechuan still had a cold face and said: "I don't want to."

The staff looked at the director in embarrassment.

If something happened to Jiang Lechuan during the recording of their program, they couldn't afford it.

At this moment, Gu Qi, who had changed her shoes, got out of the car.

When she passed by Jiang Lechuan and the staff, she stopped and frowned slightly at Jiang Lechuan.

Jiang Lechuan quickly dodged her gaze.

The director could only seek help from Gu Qi: "Teacher Gu, please help persuade him!"

Gu Qi was very cooperative, but perfunctory.

She looked at Jiang Lechuan and directly stated: "Take off your coat."

"...No." Jiang Lechuan naturally refused.

He wasn't a child, why should he be disciplined about what to wear?

[The director was forced to seek help from all directions. What's the point of looking for Gu Qi? I think it's better to find Jiāng Zhiyu. They obviously have a better relationship.]

[Ah the director and Gu Qi, one really dares to ask, the other dares to help. Jiang Lechuan doesn't pay attention to them, hahahaha]

[Is above not used to it? This is Jiang Lechuan! If he is obedient, it will be a horror movie! ]

Gu Qi looked at the director and explained calmly: "He is wearing a fake collar. He may be wearing a vest or nothing inside. It will be embarrassing to take off his coat. He feels ashamed."

Jiang Lechuan: "?"

Director team: "!"

[Ah? What is Gu Qi talking about? Is she crazy?]

[She excels at talking nonsense. Is she trying to get Jiang Lechuan to take off his coat by goading him?]

[By the way, Jiang Lechuan’s suit buttons are really buttoned up today. Gu Qi’s words are somewhat credible.]

[Wait, Jiang Lechuan’s face is red! No... he is red as hell!!!]

[I bet he is completely naked inside! That’s why he refuses to take it off, right, hahaha!]

[Unexpectedly innocent. Suddenly, it’s a little cute. Damn it]

[So... how did Gu Qi know? Does she know Jiang Lechuan so well!?]

Everyone’s eyes fell on Jiang Lechuan, waiting for an answer.

Jiang Lechuan: “…”

He really didn’t wear any.

He said in despair, “I thought we would be recording indoors, with air conditioning.”

So it makes sense to wear a fake collar to fool around. Who wants to wear two pieces in this weather? It’s so hot!

After learning the reason why Jiang Lechuan refused to take off his coat, the staff brought him a T-shirt to change into.

Gu Qi looked down at the dress on her body and said, "I want to change, too."

Before the director could say anything, Jiāng Zhiyu's delicate voice sounded, "The director team probably didn't prepare so many clothes."

Jiāng Zhiyu came over and added, "I'm just saying. If there are, it would be better. I want to change one, too."

The director could see Eldet Miss Jiāng's thoughts. She clearly didn't let them provide Gu Qi with replacement clothes. She was determined to let her crawl through the whole course in a dress.

The director didn't dare to offend Jiāng Zhiyu. After all, this was the one the investors wanted to support. He could only smile and say, "Sorry, Teacher Gu, Teacher Jiang, there is only one spare piece of clothes."

Jiāng Zhiyu showed a look of regret on her face, while she was smug within. This director was quite sensible.

Gu Qi was prettier than her in the same clothes, right?

Then she wanted to see how disheveled Gu Qi would be after coming back from climbing the mountain in a dress.

Gu Qi was just saying it casually, so she dropped it if there was none.

But Jiang Lechuan handed over the shirt he hadn't changed yet, saying, "Who knows if it's been washed or not. It's so dirty. Better give it to you."

[Jiang Lechuan, I’m shocked countless times in just one hour, don't you have any emotional intelligence at all?]

[How rude, it feels like the road is going to turn dark]

Some people weakly expressed their opinions.

[Am I the only one who thinks that Jiang Lechuan is looking for a reason to give this shirt to Gu Qi? After all, it's not very convenient for Gu Qi to climb the mountain in a dress]

Of course, not many people agree with this view and it was soon drowned in a huge number of barrages.

Gu Qi looked at Jiang Lechuan, imagining the scene of him climbing a mountain with his upper body naked, and thought it was really indecent.

With his golden hair, he looked like an ape that had just learned to walk upright.

So she waved her hand: "You should keep it."

Wen Renjing, who was passing by, looked at his own long-sleeved shirt. Seeing the two of them ‘pushing and shoving’ here, he reached out to take the T-shirt from Jiang Lechuan without hesitation: "If you don't want it, give it to me."

"Get lost!" Irked, Jiang Lechuan glared at him, but immediately turned back to the car to change clothes.

[Hahaha, how did these two butt heads?]

[Wen Renjing, why are you messing with him! ]

[Jiang Lechuan: I won't wear it, throw it on the ground, or step on it a few times, but I won't give it to you! ]

The main live broadcast camera quickly caught up with Jiāng Zhiyu’s side.

"So fierce." Wen Renjing seemed to complain about Jiang Lechuan casually and then looked at Gu Qi.

He motioned the cameraman to move away, moved the microphone away with his hand, walked to Gu Qi, and said thoughtfully: "But when that guy is with the  Jiāng Family siblings, he is as obedient as a dog. Elder Sister, aren't you angry at all?"

Gu Qi looked at Wen Renjing and asked: "What do you want to say?"

"Nothing, just a joke." Wen Renjing tilted his head, smiled again, and said: "Good luck climbing, sister."

Gu Qi didn't understand why Wen Renjing came to her and said bad things about Jiang Lechuan.

The relationship between Wen Renjing and Jiang Lechuan was actually very contradictory. The two people dislike each other on the surface, but privately they regard each other as brothers, at least closer than her.

Otherwise, in the original plot, after Jiang Lechuan died for the female lead, Wen Renjing wouldn’t have felt disgust and alienation toward Shen Anran because of this.

Can't think...

Forget it, she won't think about it.

It was tiring to use her brain.

＊

Soon, all the hiking guests were ready.

Each hiking guest was assigned a ‘supply bag’ containing mineral water, band-aids, mosquito repellent spray, and a series of items, as well as a hiking map.

The director team told them: "There are two ways to walk up the mountain here, one is a big road but the distance is longer. The other is a small road that isn't easy to walk. Teachers can choose according to their own situation."

The guests were divided into two groups.

The group that didn't need to hike the mountain followed the director team to the teahouse to rest, while the remaining people’s choices were different.

Jiang Lechuan didn't hesitate.

Of course he had to take the remote and difficult one to reach the finish line as quickly as possible and win first place in this competition.

If he was the first, he wouldn’t be a burden.

If Gu Qi regretted it at that time, he could reluctantly give her another chance and agree to let her join their team.

[Jiang Lechuan is tying his shoelaces again... Wow, this guy is determined to win]

[This guy isn't only famous for his brainlessness and bad temper, but for his competitive nature (closed eyes)]

[Jiang Lechuan had never lost in his life! Charge!!!]

Wen Renjing looked around and followed Jiang Lechuan reluctantly.

[Wen Renjing, why are you yawning? You have written "I don't want to climb" on your face!]

Jiāng Fengzhi chose the flat road for a simple reason: "There's no need to take risks."

The small road only saves less than two kilometers, which wasn't enough to decide the outcome.

There were rocks and mud on the road, as well as unknown risks, which may affect the efficiency of moving forward.

[Young President Jiāng is so handsome. He looks like a mastermind in the business world]

[My heart melts when Jiāng Fengzhi smiles. How can I sign up to be Jiāng Zhiyu's elder sister-in-law?]

Zhizi chose the main road, because although she was wearing a casual style, it was still had a skirt. She wanted to choose a road that was easy to walk.

Gu Qi stood there, watching everyone depart, but didn't move forward.

The cameraman asked: "Teacher Gu, aren't we going yet?"

"Let's go." Gu Qi said, but turned around and walked out.

Everyone: "???"

[Where is Gu Qi going? Isn't she going up the mountain? ]

[Is she going to the gate? Huh? ? ?  ]

The cameraman quickly caught up with Gu Qi and asked, "Teacher Gu, where are you going?"

"Just changing the entry." Gu Qi answered, turned back to look at the cameraman, her eyes paused for two seconds, and asked in surprise, "Aren't you the cameraman for Jiang Lechuan? Why are you recording me?"

The cameraman in front of her was slightly chubby. He stood out among a group of tall/thin cameramen, therefore he was very memorable.

"Xiaozhang is a fan of Teacher Jiang, so he asked me to change with him." The cameraman randomly made up an excuse and smiled innocently. It was so natural that no one would suspect him when saying such things.

In fact, it was just because he didn't want to work too hard.

From a glance, Jiang Lechuan looked like a man with full sports skills. Jiāng Fengzhi and Wen Renjing were men after all. It shouldn't be a problem for Zhizi to climb a mountain in the countryside. Among the five people who were going to climb the mountain, only the delicate female star Gu Qi looked the most relaxed.

So when preparing, he changed the recording subject with Xiao Zhang, who was originally responsible for recording Gu Qi.

As he thought about it, his eyes fell on Gu Qi's back.

At this moment, Gu Qi stretched.

Although she was very thin, the muscle lines on her shoulders were very obvious and beautiful.

The cameraman didn't take it seriously. It was normal for female stars to go to the gym.

After all, she was a woman. How good can her physical strength be? In any case, it was easier than following Jiang Lechuan.

He had been in this business for so many years and he still had some discerning eyes.

When one goes out to work, be lazy when one can.

Soon, Gu Qi came to the remote South Gate and started her hiking journey.

[Most people climb from the front mountain or the back mountain. What is Gu Qi doing? ]

[She seems to know it very well, but there is no such road on the map]

[There is a small road up the mountain from the south gate, but it seems to pass by...]

[Why did the above break off half way? What will pass by?]

[Damn, don't keep me in suspense!]

[It's nothing, just passing by three graveyards and an abandoned factory]

[? ? ? ]

[...You call this nothing?]
