Chapter 20, the quest to venture into the deep mountains, begins.



Xia Chun pulled out the line first, and looking along the red line, she saw it was Du Hewen.

Xia Chun's expression froze for a moment, then she resumed her smiling look.

Although he's not the person I was hoping for, Actor Du is still pretty good. If I get on his good side, I might be able to get some resources.

Du Yingdi appeared expressionless, as usual, completely calm and composed.

Xia Chun quietly went over to greet Du Hewen first, indicating that they were in the same group. The movie star Du nodded and then let go of the red thread.

Otherwise, when he gets home, that little rabbit won't let him off the hook.

[Hahahaha, I'm laughing so hard I'll get rich! Don't be so quick to loosen the red thread, Actor Du!]

After all, maybe his sister-in-law is watching the live stream.

[Actor Du: That was close! I felt like my wife was about to come at me any second.]

[What's with Xia Chun's expression? I have a feeling she's up to something again.]

Wen Xinran carefully pulled out the red thread, and held Qin Shiyue at the other end.

Wen Xinran smiled gently at Qin Shiyue, walked over to greet her, and Qin Shiyue started chatting with her.

Wow, Ranran is actually paired with Qin Shiyue! Hahaha, what an unexpected combination!

They look so harmonious and get along so well. Ranran's smile is so beautiful. Qin Shiyue, you're such a lucky guy!

【Hey, I remember they know each other, right? The paparazzi seem to have photographed them having dinner together before】

【Huh? No, didn't they already deny it? Besides, so what if they ate together? Can't they be friends?】

Why are you guys discussing this? I actually think these two are quite a good match.

[Indeed, a gentle female celebrity x a cute male idol, waaaaah, the younger brother calling her "older sister" and dominating her is my fetish, okay?]

...

Next, only Shen Shiqing, Lu Jingchu, Xing Jianan, and Shi Xia remain.

Shi Xia was extremely nervous beforehand; she didn't want to be separated from Shen Shiqing at all.

Xing Jianan held the red thread tightly, always with a certain strength in his hand.

Shen Shiqing was unmoved, while Lu Jingchu seemed to be in a good mood.

Shi Xia closed her eyes, made up her mind, and pulled out the thread.

When I opened my eyes, it was Xing Jianan.

Ah, it's this iceberg! Can I rewire it myself?!

There's always this feeling that I won't say more than two words a day.

Xing Jianan frowned slightly and casually put down the red thread in her hand.

[Hahahaha, Shi Xia is like a child, she doesn't know how to hide her emotions]

She's very innocent and straightforward, which is great. Her thoughts are written all over her face; I'm growing to like her more and more.

Xing Jianan remains as icy as ever; the two of them seem to loathe each other, hahaha!

[Wait a minute, does that mean Shen Shiqing and Actor Lu will end up in the same group?!]

There's no suspense anymore.

Shen Shiqing pulled out the red thread, while Lu Jingchu held the other end.

Lu Jingchu looked up and smiled, dazzling Shen Shiqing.

I told Lu Yingdi not to smile at me like that, it's hard to resist. Shen Shiqing was really afraid that she would pounce on him and defile Lu Jingchu.

As Lu Jingchu listened to her thoughts, the tips of her ears turned slightly red.

The two held one end of a red thread in each hand; Shen Shiqing's fingertips were tinged with red, while Lu Jingchu's ear tips were tinged with pink.

[Oh my god, howpay! Help, I'm really going to die from this!]

[My on-screen couple has already gotten engaged! Who says my on-screen couple isn't real? They've even tied the red thread!]

[And I think the atmosphere between them is really ambiguous! It feels like there are pink bubbles.]

They still haven't let go of their ties! Isn't that just them being reluctant to part?!

[Screenshot, everyone, what are you doing? Shouldn't you eat a few more bites of the food being fed?]

My suggestion is to proceed directly to the wedding ceremony and enter the bridal chamber.

No, ugly ducklings shouldn't get involved with movie stars.

Don't force yourself to ship any particular pairing; you might break your teeth.

[Don't try to piggyback on the fame of the "Ugly Duckling" fans; the "Actor" doesn't need a maidservant!]

[Those people are talking nonsense. The Qing Dynasty is long gone, why are you still clinging to that hierarchy?]

...

Shen Shiqing and Lu Jingchu simultaneously released the red thread, greeted each other, and stood together.

Shi Xia glanced at Shen Shiqing and then at Lu Jingchu, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes.

Shen Shiqing could only comfort her with his eyes.

Hahahaha, Xia was so cute when she was little!

[The look in Shi Xia's eyes when she looked at Actor Lu was so full of resentment, hahaha!]

[It's like what? Like the look you give a rival in love... Hmm, is that something I can say?]

Why not?

[I told you the Double Ten couple was real! The orange one is decided, everyone come and ship them with me!]

"The team formation is now complete. This time, you still can't bring anything except yourselves. You'll have to take care of yourselves in the forest for lunch. Remember to conserve your energy, as you need to stay in the forest for 9 hours. Since this is the first phase, today's forest area is roughly the same as yesterday's, so don't worry about not being able to get out. Remember to come back before dark. Now, please enter the forest."

The director kept rambling on and on, and Shen Shiqing couldn't wait to enter the jungle.

Lu Jingchu followed her closely, step by step.

The others also left the guesthouse and headed into the forest.

It was already 8:30 in the morning, and we would probably enter the forest around 9:00.

Shen Shiqing walked forward. The forest was always shrouded in mist in the morning, a vast expanse of white. Shen Shiqing didn't pay attention and slipped, about to fall.

Seeing a pair of hands out of the corner of his eye, Shen Shiqing quickly exerted his strength to steady himself.

Those hands only touched the hem of her clothes before helplessly lowering them.

She should rely on herself if she can, and never rely on others. Besides, Lu Jingchu is the only person next to her. If they get too close, who knows what the online trolls and trolls will do.

She didn't care, but Lu Jingchu was a man of integrity, and if this caused him trouble, then it would be her fault.

Shen Shiqing doesn't want to trouble others, nor does he want to cause trouble for them.

"Are you alright?" Lu Jingchu stepped forward with concern. "The road is still a bit slippery, be careful."

"Yes, thank you, Actor Lu. You too."

[Damn, did Shen Shiqing do that on purpose? Did he deliberately try to fall? The movie star is so kind, he even reached out to help.]

[Her clothes are even in the same color scheme as the movie star's; who would believe she's trying to ride on his coattails?]

Come on, isn't it normal to not be able to see the road in this foggy weather? Why assume the worst of people?

[This is hilarious! Everyone's criticizing Sister Shi, but everyone wants to be Sister Shi.]

Yes, that's correct.

What did Sister Shi do wrong? After watching the whole episode, I, as a casual viewer, actually quite like Sister Shi.

[Me too, me too! Sister Shi is really beautiful and capable of everything. She handles the balance of intimacy and distance with different people perfectly. I'm completely under her thumb!]

[Sister Shi didn't try to piggyback on anyone's fame at all; she was clearly avoiding it like the plague. I suddenly feel so sorry for her; she's probably just reacting out of fear of being criticized. (crying emoji)]
