Chapter 163 Various Tests: Successfully Controlled, Submitting Gently
“Our photographer Luo Luo is obsessed with his photos, Xiao Zha. Before we move, let Luo Luo take a look at them for you. If they're not good, we can still take a few more here,” Song Ying said.
"I'm good at taking pictures of handsome men, beautiful women, and scenery!" Luo Luo patted his chest confidently. "Trust me! Show me!"
"good."
Zachary took out his phone and pulled up a photo he had taken earlier. "That's it."
Luo Luo looked at it seriously.
"I must say, you're quite skilled at taking photos! This one, and this one, are both great. However, the composition of this one seems a bit messy; it includes the road signs and building rooftops, which doesn't match the surrounding maple and ginkgo leaves."
"I was just taking random pictures," Zachary put his phone away. "Could you please take a few more for me, beautiful lady?"
Who can resist a handsome guy praising their own beauty?
Luo Luo immediately directed Zachary to stand in position, "Then you stand over there, yes, yes, a little to the left—Qin Shu, move aside, go find your wife, don't get in the shot."
Qin Shu, who had accidentally wandered into the frame, stepped aside and walked with Song Ying to the trees outside the pavilion.
"The road sign Luo Luo mentioned should be the one on Nanshan Road. The building's roof is over there, and outside it's a chemical plant, but actually underneath is a biomaterials company that supplies CEW."
The two turned off their earpieces while they were talking, and their position was perfectly positioned in a blind spot for filming.
To be on the safe side, they even covered their mouths when they spoke, to prevent their lips from being read.
"Do you believe this is a coincidence?" Song Ying asked Qin Shu.
"It's better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't."
Qin Shu answered very decisively.
From the very beginning, he harbored suspicions about Zachary.
It wasn't that rivals were particularly hostile upon meeting, but rather it stemmed from an instinctive intuition and a sense of caution.
The decision to hold the reality show in Lanxiang Mountain was not made lightly.
According to the information Qin Shu had gathered during this period, there was an abandoned experimental base deep in Lanxiang Mountain.
At that time, this place had not yet been developed into a tourist attraction, but the stone steps had already been built, and there was even a cable car.
Later, the Capital Culture and Tourism Bureau replanned the area and reorganized the original stone steps. The cable car was also shelved, blocked, and demolished because several people fell into the hole and caused fatalities. It was replaced by the cable car that goes down the mountain now.
"The factory outside Lanxiang Mountain was the location my parents chose back then. Uncle Hai said it was to keep an eye on the experimental base here and keep track of its movements. But recently, there have been suspicious vehicles coming and going around Lanxiang Mountain at night, which is very unusual."
"Moreover, according to Yang Xu, one of the purposes of the people behind him this time is the base in Lanxiang Mountain."
“Zachary’s appearance was so timely, and he happened to be able to take pictures of the factory there. I don’t believe it’s a coincidence.”
After saying this, Qin Shu looked at Song Ying, "Wife, I know you might think I'm making a mountain out of a molehill, but..."
I don't think so.
Song Ying looked calmly at Qin Shu, "I know how dangerous what you're doing is. Go ahead and verify your guesses, A-Shu. Just remember, we will always be one."
Song Ying took out a tissue and reached out to wipe the fine sweat from Qin Shu's forehead.
"Don't worry about me. I cherish this friendship, but I care about you more and I'm more afraid of causing irreparable consequences."
Qin Shu felt a warmth in his heart and was about to say something when suddenly, a few "clicking" sounds came.
Immediately afterwards, Luo Luo leaned against the railing and waved to the two of them.
"Didn't expect that, did you? I caught you red-handed! Are you two showing off your love behind everyone's back?"
Song Ying looked up and smiled, "How about I carry you this time? If that's not possible, I can hold you in my arms."
Luo Luo took a moment to react, and after a while, she said speechlessly, "...Your joke is so lame."
"This railing is unstable. Are you out of your mind? Leaning your whole head on it?"
Jiang Xiuyuan appeared just in time and pulled Luo Luo back a few steps.
"How could there be a problem? It looks quite sturdy to me. Jiang Xiuyuan, aren't you being a bit overly worried..."
Before the word "sky" could even be uttered, Jiang Xiuyuan turned the sign with the rope attached to it towards Luo Luo, "The railing is dangerous, leaning against it is prohibited—see?"
"..." Luo Luo choked, and after a moment, she snorted, "I saw it, I saw it, I saw it with both eyes."
Jiang Xiuyuan's interruption drew Luo Luo's attention away from his.
Song Ying and Qin Shu came out.
They happened to come face to face with Zachary, who had already put his backpack back on.
"Friends, I'm going to keep going! I'll be waiting for you at the top of the mountain."
Zachary waved and continued walking forward.
Qin Shu looked at Jiang Xiuyuan, who immediately understood and prepared his luggage, holding the straps on his shoulders and bouncing the luggage up.
"Don't make any promises. It's hard to say who will reach the top of the mountain first."
After saying that, Jiang Xiuyuan strode forward.
But soon, he remembered something and turned to look at Luo Luo.
“Damn it!” Luo Luo crossed her arms and placed them in front of her chest. “Just traveling is no fun. I want to travel with Aying every year.”
After saying this, Luo Luo suddenly felt that she had gone too far—Jiang Xiuyuan carried all the things, and she could play in the back, but she also had to make Jiang Xiuyuan huff and puff as he walked forward.
This won't work.
Even Zhou Bapi (a notorious skinflint) didn't go this far.
"I'll get some for you."
As she spoke, Luo Luo quickly stepped forward, took the supplies hanging on the bag next to her, and hugged them to her arms. "How about I share these?"
"No good." Jiang Xiuyuan said, raising her chin and lowering her voice, "Why are you standing in front of all those couples and acting like a third wheel? If you want to take pictures, can't you wait until we're resting or when we get to the top of the mountain?"
Luo Luo really wanted to say that this really wouldn't work—the location, the reference points, the weather, the lighting—any change in any of these factors would result in a different final product.
But Chiang Hsiu-yuan was right about one thing.
"Being a third wheel is really not appropriate. Fine, I'll go with you."
With a sigh, Luo Luo, clutching the supply bag, waved to the Winner and Loser couple and the Constant Temperature couple with one hand.
"We're going to grab the big gift pack first! You guys can stay here and keep snuggling together!"
Then he and Jiang Xiuyuan hurried on their way to catch up with Zachary.
Spectators watching the spectacle:
[Low EQ: Come with me! High EQ: Do you want to be a third wheel?]
[Young Master Jiang finally showed his intelligence and successfully grasped the situation—this is the art of language.]
[Finally, he's starting to look like he's into variety shows.]
-
It will take a long time to get to the top of the mountain.
After their brief rest earlier, the group focused on continuing their journey while the morning temperature was still relatively low.
The efficiency of mountain climbing has improved a lot.
The production team specially used drones to film the guests' activities while they were climbing the mountain from all angles, while also showing the audience the beautiful autumn scenery of Lanxiang Mountain.
I used to think that Beijing didn't have any good scenery, but now I realize that I just don't know how to appreciate beauty.
I definitely have to go to Lanxiang Mountain this weekend!
I'm so eager to go on the autumn outing! I just want to kick open the boss's door and throw the leave request in his face!
Just as he had said, Jiang Xiuyuan was in great physical condition. After overtaking Zakeri in a slightly wider area, he walked at the front and became the leader of the group.
Luo Luo's physical strength is not as good as his.
But thinking that he couldn't be a third wheel or hold Jiang Xiuyuan back, he gritted his teeth and charged forward without uttering a sound of complaint.
Zachary fell behind them.
Following closely behind were Qin Shu and Song Ying.
Both of them were regular exercisers, and they climbed the mountain with ease, looking as if they were taking a stroll after a meal.
Wen Nian and Ji Zhiheng were left behind.
Despite having climbed very hard, and even two days before participating in the show, in order to prevent sudden excessive exercise from causing physical discomfort, she also did some special training and stretching under the guidance of Ji Zhiheng.
However, Wen Nian's disadvantage of spending long hours drawing comics and lacking exercise still became apparent.
"Niannian, let's take a break," Ji Zhiheng suggested.
"Huh?" Wen Nian looked up, her bright, clear eyes reflecting the mountains and forests. She quickly shook her head. "It's alright, Ji Zhiheng. I can still hold on."
At this moment, her fair face was flushed, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her smooth forehead, glistening in the sunlight.
In fact, Wen Nian's legs were already starting to ache, but not wanting to hold others back because of her poor performance, she decided to grit her teeth and persevere.
"I want to rest."
How could Ji Zhiheng not know what his girlfriend was thinking?
His little girl is always so sensible that it breaks your heart.
Ji Zhiheng looked around, climbed a few more steps, and finally sat on a stone millstone under a crooked tree at the bend in the stone steps.
He then took out a thermos from the side of his bag and handed it to Wen Nian when she came to him.
"Here, have some honey water to replenish your sugar levels."
"good."
Wen Nian obediently followed instructions and did as told.
He sat down in front of Ji Zhiheng.
A mountain breeze blows, and the original damp heat and sweat instantly turn into coolness, making it pleasant and comfortable.
"This feels so good."
Wen Nian closed his eyes, opened his arms, and felt the gift of nature.
Suddenly, she felt a heat in her calf, which startled her so much that she instinctively kicked her leg, but it was caught by a hand.
"Ji Zhiheng, what are you doing?"
Ji Zhiheng, who was originally sitting next to Wen Nian, is now squatting in front of her, saying, "Let me massage your legs so they don't hurt as you walk."
Wen Nian's face immediately turned even redder.
Suddenly, I remembered the first time we met.
The two mothers were close friends. When Wen Nian first came to the capital, her mother was worried that she would be unfamiliar with the place and the people because she had never been far from home before. So Ji Zhiheng's mother took the initiative to suggest that Wen Nian stay at Ji Zhiheng's place for a while.
The day Wen Nian arrived in the capital was a hot summer afternoon.
After ringing the doorbell, no one answered. Even though Ji's mother had told her the password to Ji Zhiheng's house, Wen Nian did not enter without permission. Instead, she sent a message to Ji Zhiheng and waited silently at the door.
As a result, he was so tired that he squatted down at the door and fell asleep.
Ji Zhiheng didn't bring his phone with him that day because he was having surgery. By the time he saw the message and rushed back, it was already very late.
The little girl was huddled like a cat in front of her house, but after being startled awake by his footsteps, she became as tense as a little hedgehog.
Wen Nian quickly got up and realized that his legs were extremely weak. Luckily, he was holding onto the wall to avoid falling.
Seeing this, Ji Zhiheng went back into the house and brought her a small sofa stool, handing it to her so she could sit down, rub her legs, and rest before standing up.
At that first meeting, the perfectly timed politeness and respect warmed Wen Nian's heart and eased her nervousness.
Now that the two have confirmed their relationship and met each other's parents, this meticulous care and thoughtfulness makes people feel at ease while still touching their hearts and making them blush.
Ji Zhiheng is a professional doctor with precise and appropriate techniques.
While he was massaging him, Wen Nian was also busy, taking out a wet wipe to help him wipe his sweat, and using the small folding fan that Luo Luo had given him to fan Ji Zhiheng.
In the instant their eyes met, one was refined and dignified, the other sweet, soft, and shy.
It forms a beautiful landscape on its own.
Although the Hengwen couple's relationship didn't have many ups and downs, the subtle tenderness in their daily lives was so sweet it melted my heart.
Who isn't? Forever subservient to gentlemen, forever powerless against tenderness.
Who remembers Ji Zhiheng's status as a high-ranking official at Huatian? He's clearly a henpecked husband. Some people even said that Wen Nian seduced Ji Zhiheng, but I say, who knows who seduced whom? Nine times out of ten, it was this little white rabbit, Nian Nian, who fell into Ji the fox's trap.
You can have Qin Shu, Zachary, and Young Master Jiang; I only want Ji Zhiheng.
[A polite question: Is it too late to fracture my bone now and then go to the First Hospital of Beijing to see Ji Zhiheng?]
[Hey, upstairs lady, wake up! There's no need for this. Even if you're really going to go this far, wait another two weeks. Dr. Ji is still participating in a TV show; if you go, it'll most likely be the same old doctor seeing patients.]
[Don't even mention the uncle. Last week I made a special trip to the First Hospital of Beijing, hoping to bump into Dr. Ji, but the doctor who treated me was even more like my dad than my own father.]
When the Hengwen couple officially announced their relationship, Ji Zhiheng did not hide his identity.
The doors to the surgical department of the First Hospital of Beijing were almost broken down by the crowd.
But at that time he was on vacation accompanying Wen Nian to film a movie. Later, he returned to the capital and joined the laboratory crew, so not many people saw him.
Later, fearing that such a trend of seeking medical help based on online fame would affect those who genuinely wanted to see a doctor and delay their treatment, the hospital specifically set up a threshold for consultations, turning away many people who just wanted to join in the fun.
Only recently has this trend gradually subsided.
But looking at these comments, it seems like the flames are about to rise again.
During a break between shifts, the head of surgery at the First Hospital of Beijing quietly opened his phone and happened to see these comments, immediately becoming alert.
"Quickly, repost that previous rule!"
"Those whose wounds will heal after just a few words shouldn't be seen by a doctor!"
"Jiang Xiuyuan, let's rest for a while? I can't take it anymore."
Luo Luo leaned against the tree, feeling as if her legs were filled with lead.
It's almost midnight now, and more than two hours have passed since my last break.
They set off at eight in the morning, and even though Luo Luo exercises regularly, she's starting to feel the strain.
"Okay, let's take a break. There's a big tree over there, let's go over there."
Jiang Xiuyuan pointed ahead.
Lanxiangshan Scenic Area has been developed for many years, and there have always been various rest areas along the way for tourists to rest when they are tired.
Normally, there are also small vendors setting up stalls to sell things.
However, considering the purpose of the trip, SY made a special trip to negotiate with the scenic spot to book the entire venue and subsidized the vendors.
Jiang Xiuyuan arrived first and placed his backpack on the ground. Only then did the audience notice that his entire back was soaked with sweat.
Luo Luo breathed a huge sigh of relief when she finally got a break. The tension she had been feeling while climbing the mountain and stepping on the stone steps finally eased.
As a result of this momentary lapse in concentration, he stepped on a loose rock and fell straight forward.
