Ran Jie borrowed a walkie-talkie from a staff member in the control room to talk to the director.
"Director, I think we could add a scene similar to those in period dramas next to where they are looking at each other."
The director couldn't help but clap and cheer, "Ran Jie really came up with a brilliant idea. It will definitely be a wonderful and dreamlike collaboration."
Lu Shen, hiding in the corner, watched their interaction, his fists clenching unconsciously.
No matter how you look at it, I just can't stand Su Ziyu.
"Calm down, this is Ruoxi's show too." If he rushes out like this, it will definitely cause trouble for Ruoxi.
Thinking of this, Lu Shen loosened his grip slightly.
It's almost time to play games.
The game is called "Brave the Single-Plank Bridge". For the sake of variety show effect, the production team deliberately made the single-plank bridge more than one meter high.
However, they also took the safety of the artists into consideration, so they covered the area with soft foam and had "little black" (a type of protective gear) around to protect them.
Like the other Xiao Hei, Lu Shen carried out his game props, trying his best to avoid looking at Jian Ruoxi.
"Why does this person feel so familiar to me?" Jian Ruoxi stared blankly at Lu Shen's back, lost in thought.
"Ruoxi, are you afraid of heights?" Su Ziyu thought Jian Ruoxi was afraid of the log bridge that was more than a meter high, so he whispered in her ear that she was.
"No, I was just a little distracted just now."
She couldn't afford to be afraid; her acting skills would be put to the test here.
When Ran Jie learned about the event in advance, he had already specifically instructed Jian Ruoxi through his assistant.
When crossing the log bridge, the program team will focus on close-ups of your face. You must not show any fear, otherwise it will easily damage your image.
Although Lu Shen was assembling the log bridge with the others, his attention was still focused on Jian Ruoxi.
When he saw that bastard Su Ziyu was standing so close to Ruoxi, he lost control of his strength and broke the paddle in two.
Seeing his young master so flustered, Ah Jie, sitting in the audience, felt his heart leap into his throat.
"My young master, you must stay calm."
Lu Shen's movements were quite large, attracting many people to look in his direction. He could feel Jian Ruoxi's gaze also falling on him.
He was so frightened that he dared not move, afraid that she would recognize him directly, yet also afraid that she wouldn't.
The staff members dressed in black around them were also taken aback. "My God, when did you become so strong?"
"If you break a prop, the director will probably dock your pay."
Lu Shen didn't dare to reply and could only nod repeatedly.
Fortunately, the little black man he was impersonating wasn't usually talkative, so no one suspected anything, and they continued with their work.
After a while, the log bridge on the platform was completed.
Recording has restarted.
The host first briefly introduced the rules of the challenge of crossing the single-plank bridge.
Participants need to carry cups filled with water and escort them to the other side of a log bridge. The group that carries the most water at the end wins, and the losing group is punished.
After the random group results were announced, Su Ziyu's face showed undisguised disappointment.
"It's a pity, Ruoxi, I can't be in the same group as you anymore."
Jian Ruoxi didn't care. "It's a good opportunity to compare who is more capable, the Emperor or the Empress."
The first to go on stage was Su Ziyu. He has participated in many kinds of variety games, so this level is no problem for him at all.
He effortlessly crossed the log bridge and steadily poured the water from his cup into the bucket.
Lu Shen glanced at him disdainfully, "How shallow. You're so smug just because you crossed a single-plank bridge."
"No wonder there are no notable achievements."
After Su Ziyu came down from the log bridge, he looked toward the row of small black men standing around the log bridge.
Was it just his imagination?
He felt someone had just given him an unfriendly look.
Soon it was Jian Ruoxi's turn.
When she stepped onto the log bridge, she realized that standing there was much more terrifying than looking down from below.
She didn't think much of it when her assistant told her, but now she's starting to feel scared.
"Oh my god, this log bridge is so long, how am I going to get across it?"
Actually, she's afraid of heights, but she just didn't tell everyone.
It was obvious that Ran Jie had already assumed that Ran Jie was not afraid of heights when she told her assistant.
Inside the control room, Ran Jie noticed that Jian Ruoxi hesitated, so he asked his assistant.
What was her reaction when you told her that?
The assistant recalled, "There wasn't much of a reaction. Sister Ruoxi agreed quite readily."
Jian Ruoxi remained motionless in front of the camera, and Ran Jie began to suspect that she might actually be scared.
In that short time, Jian Ruoxi had already engaged in a fierce internal struggle.
Forget it, it's just a narrow bridge. I can grit my teeth and maybe get across.
Jian Ruoxi steeled her heart and quickly walked towards the log bridge.
No one else expected her to leave so suddenly, and everyone's faces were filled with worry.
Lu Shen unconsciously moved a little further down the log bridge. "Why didn't you say you were scared earlier? Why were you being so stubborn?"
Although he had just spoken words of reproach in his mind, he couldn't help but smile when he saw Jian Ruoxi rushing forward without regard for anything.
This is the real her.
Jian Ruoxi hadn't even reached halfway when her foot slipped and she fell to the other side.
"Is the soft foam underneath any good? I'm not going to be crippled from the fall."
"Hua Rui's artists should have insurance, right? This is considered a work injury, so Ran Jie should reimburse me."
I thought I would fall directly onto the sponge prepared by the production team, but that wasn't the case.
He was being steadily caught by Xiao Hei, a staff member of the production crew.
"Thank you!" Jian Ruoxi whispered her thanks to Lu Shen.
She remembered this staff member; he was the one she had seen at the entrance of the dressing room.
Lu Shen had been waiting on stage for so long, and finally he had a chance to get close to Jian Ruoxi.
I didn't want to let go of her arms.
After being held by him for a while, Jian Ruoxi felt a little embarrassed and patted his chest, "Okay, you can put me down now."
Lu Shen took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then put Jian Ruoxi down.
She truly had no idea how attractive her every move was to him.
Lu Shen gently put her down and deliberately lowered his voice to say something to Jian Ruoxi.
"Keep walking forward without worrying about falling."
"I can always catch you."
After saying that, Lu Shen turned and left, returning to the spot where he had been standing.
