Shen Shiqing had been lying down with his eyes closed for a short while when he heard footsteps.
"Sister Shi! I'm here!" It was Shi Xia's excited, boisterous voice.
Shen Shiqing stood up and brushed the dust off her clothes. Shi Xia ran over and bumped into her.
"Don't rush," Shen Shiqing said, looking at Shi Xia who was clinging to him, feeling like a kindergarten teacher.
Shi Xia let go of his hand, and only then did Shen Shiqing notice that Xing Jianan was also there.
What is he doing here?
However, he and Shi Xia were in the same group, so it's normal for him to be there.
Their eyes met, but Shen Shiqing looked away without any emotion.
Xing Jianan suddenly lowered her head, her hair disheveled in the breeze.
Shen Shiqing always felt that Xing Jianan was acting strangely. Ever since he participated in this program, he seemed to be staring at her all the time.
Instead of going to see Wen Xinran, Shen Shiqing felt very puzzled. In the original book, he abandoned the original owner for Wen Xinran, right?
Moreover, no matter how the original owner tried to win him back, he remained unmoved, proving himself to be cold-hearted and hard-dressed.
But what's going on now? Is it because Wen Xinran and Song Zhihuai have a close relationship and she's jealous and angry?
Or perhaps she feels that there's no future with Wen Xinran and wants to go back to her ex?
But that's not quite right. In the original book, Wen Xinran was very attractive to them, and she didn't ignore any of the men around her. In short, she basically hooked all those men, and they were all foolishly infatuated.
It can only be said that, like Jiang Taigong fishing, those who are willing will take the bait.
Lu Jingchu had already gotten up and was standing to the side. Shi Xia turned her head and saw him. "Lu Jing... Movie Emperor Lu is here too." However, Shi Xia wasn't very happy.
Lu Jingchu gave her a half-smile.
In Shi Xia's eyes, it looked like a provocation, so Shi Xia glared back.
Shen Shiqing found it somewhat amusing to look at the two of them, but it was strange that Shi Xia didn't seem to be that afraid of or respectful of Lu Jingchu.
From the first time they met, Shi Xia didn't show any particular reaction to Lu Jingchu, she was just a little surprised, but then she returned to her calm.
Shi Xia really loves Shi Jie; who could tell they've only known each other for two days?
Girls' friendships are truly amazing.
[What kind of friendship is this between girls? You dare say that, hahaha!]
I suddenly realized that Shi Xia doesn't seem to be afraid of Actor Lu at all.
[Perhaps it's the aura of the rightful wife; Shi Xia is afraid that Movie Emperor Lu will steal her Sister Shi away.]
[Xing Jianan: It's supposed to be a movie for four people, but I never get a name?]
[Xing Jianan: Can anyone see me standing here? Hahahahahahahaha]
...
Lu Jingchu naturally noticed Xing Jianan standing to the side, and the two nodded to each other as a greeting.
Shen Shiqing then gave Shi Xia the food he had just taken from the treasure chest. Shi Xia happily accepted it and started eating right away. She was a little hungry after walking quite a distance.
Although practicing dance is tiring, the mountain roads are difficult to walk, and the physical exertion is great. Also, by noon, I was inevitably a bit hungry.
She knew that coming to find Sister Shi was the right choice!
Shen Shiqing suddenly remembered something. This food was something she and Lu Jingchu had worked hard for together, and she had just forgotten to discuss it with him.
Then she raised her head, her clear eyes looking at Lu Jingchu, as if seeking Lu Jingchu's consent.
Lu Jingchu nodded with a smile in his eyes, and Shen Shiqing knew that he had agreed.
Lu Yingdi is indeed beautiful inside and out.
After Lu Jingchu finished reading the heartfelt words, he felt as if even the wind blowing by carried a scorching heat.
Xing Jianan looked at them, and a hint of sorrow appeared on his face.
This is not his style.
After all, he has always had a cold and aloof face.
Seeing this, Shen Shiqing felt sorry for him and threw him a sausage. Xing Jianan's eyes flickered, and he put the sausage into his pocket.
There was always a subtle feeling between the four of them.
"Sister Shi, how many treasure chests have you found? How's the mission going?" Shi Xia only remembered to ask after she had finished eating and drinking.
"You asked about Actor Lu, but I haven't really counted them either," Shen Shiqing answered truthfully. She felt there were quite a few, but she hadn't actually counted them.
However, like her, Lu Jingchu didn't really care about winning or losing the game.
Participation is key.
Shi Xia pouted, "I'm not going to ask him."
Shen Shiqing chuckled, "And you guys, how's it going? Is everything going smoothly?"
“We’re doing alright, we’ve found some good stuff. But there’s no food in the boxes,” Shi Xia whispered to Shen Shiqing. “And Xing Jianan is no fun at all, he doesn’t talk, I’m so bored.”
Shen Shiqing found it quite amusing to listen to her muttering complaints, feeling that Shi Xia would have started cursing if there hadn't been a camera.
Although it doesn't quite fit her sweet girl persona, who says sweet girls can't swear?
"It's 1 PM now. Let's report on each group's progress. First in line is Lu Jingchu and Shen Shiqing, with 15 treasure chests found. Next is Qin Shiyue and Wen Xinran's group, with 12 chests found. Xing Jianan and Shi Xia's group has found 10 chests, and finally, Du Hewen and Xia Chun's group has found 9 chests. Lu Jingchu and Shen Shiqing's group are in the lead, and the other groups are currently close, but the gap isn't large. Keep up the good work, everyone! By the way, a reminder that the difficulty of the later treasure chest tasks will increase, so please put in the effort to solve them. Nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it!"
For a moment, the reckless director's voice echoed throughout the mountains and forests, occasionally startling a flock of birds on the branches.
Shen Shiqing suddenly realized that the director, who was over thirty and didn't care about his life, always spoke with interjections, which was quite cute.
If only he could talk less.
"Sister Shi, you guys are amazing! What kind of missions do you do?" Shi Xia couldn't help but ask.
"Well, it's not a very difficult question. It's just some college entrance exam math questions and some history, culture, and geography questions. It's not hard." Shen Shiqing couldn't help but pat Shi Xia's head. Her head was round, and her hair was smooth. It felt so good to touch.
"College entrance exam?... Math questions?" Shi Xia felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
"I failed math in my college entrance exam, who knows anything about it?" Shi Xia hated math.
"Wait, is this something I can say?" Shi Xia suddenly realized, feeling incredibly embarrassed.
This is a live broadcast! Doesn't that mean the whole country will know he failed his college entrance exam in math?!
Shi Xia wanted to cry but had no tears.
Meanwhile, her agent sat in his office watching the live stream, sighing in exasperation.
Sure enough, I can't control my mouth when I'm not around her.
[Shen Shiqing, I'm telling you, stop being so Versailles-like! Some people who hate math are really heartbroken.]
[Actually, Shen Shiqing is right. Those college entrance exam math questions aren't actually that difficult. What I find astonishing is that Shen Shiqing graduated quite a few years ago, yet she still remembers them. I really admire that.]
To be honest, I can handle the history, culture, and geography questions, but I'm terrible at math. I got a 38 on a test and my mom beat me up. Anyone know why?!
[Those who came before me, I'm even worse off. I failed math for three years in high school and still only got 18 points on the college entrance exam. Who understands me?]
[But Shi Xia, you really don't treat us like outsiders, hahaha!]
[Shi Xia is probably regretting it now, hahaha, her manager is coming over right away.]
[What's so difficult about this? I scored 130 on my college entrance exam in math, and I still can't solve it now. I forgot it right after the exam.]
So, what was Xia's actual score on the college entrance exam in math? Hahahaha!
...
At this moment, Shi Xia just hoped that there would be fewer people in the live stream, so that she wouldn't lose so much face.
Lu Jingchu shook his head, turned his back to suppress a laugh, and then turned back as if nothing had happened.
This is completely inconsistent with his usual style as a movie star.
Shi Xia felt too ashamed to stay any longer, and the only way now was to win first place to salvage the situation.
Shen Shiqing saw through her thoughts, "Then good luck, Xiao Xia."
Shi Xia acted immediately, pulling Xing Jianan along with high spirits as they ran off, while Xing Jianan kept looking back.
Shen Shiqing and Lu Jingchu looked at the sky and, feeling they had rested enough, began to move about.
The two of them moved at a leisurely pace, as if it were just an afternoon stroll in the mountains and forests.
Breathe in the fresh air, absorb the essence of the sun and moon, and listen to the birdsong and cicada chirps.
As I walked through the place, I was greeted by a pleasantly sweet and sour aroma.
Shen Shiqing looked up and saw the plums ripening on the tree.
In summer, the plums ripened.
"When the plums are yellow, the days are sunny; after crossing the stream, we walk into the mountains." Lu Jingchu recited these two lines of poetry as he looked at the plum trees laden with fruit.
When the plums are fully ripe, the weather is sunny and pleasant every day. We take a small boat along the stream, and when we reach the end of the stream, we turn onto the mountain path and continue on our way.
They also happened to come from the stream, and although they didn't come by boat, it still created a unique atmosphere.
"Actor Lu, would you like some?" Shen Shiqing looked at Lu Jingchu with longing.
Lu Jingchu overheard what she was really thinking: I really want to eat this. I wonder if Movie Emperor Lu will eat it. If he doesn't, then forget it.
"Hmm, I want to." Lu Jingchu seemed to be looking at Meizi, but her peripheral vision wasn't actually on Meizi.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Jingchu discovered that Shen Shiqing had already climbed up the tree.
He was holding a few ripe, yellow plums in his hand.
“Actor Lu, catch!” Shen Shiqing’s voice was light and melodious, and his smile was unrestrained and flamboyant.
The bright, sunny smile—who knows whose eyes it has misled this time?
