Nan Xian left behind this thought-provoking remark and walked away before Sheng Zhicheng could react.
Watching her retreating figure, Sheng Zhicheng felt as if fifteen buckets of water were being drawn up in his heart, filled with trepidation and unease, and he stood there blankly.
Was she implying something with her words? Did she discover her true identity?
He touched his head blankly, and the floating gold coin flickered as he touched it.
Suddenly, he felt an intense gaze fall upon him. He was startled, like a rabbit caught in the sight of a hawk on the prairie, and instinctively turned his head.
Several people away, He Mingxiao looked at him with deep eyes.
Sheng Zhicheng had long heard of this man's reputation for being a "jealous jerk," and when he met his gaze, he immediately understood.
Thinking that his family still wanted to cooperate with the He family in the future, he didn't want any misunderstandings to happen at the moment, so he planned to step forward and explain a few words. But at this moment, the director started to cue the next process, and the camera panned to this side. He could only hold back for the time being.
The group work proceeded as usual, and with prior arrangements, Nan Xian and Yu Lin were paired up along the way.
Unexpectedly, Wei Zeling finally got her wish and was assigned to the same group as He Mingxiao.
The moment the names of the three pairs of partners appeared on the big screen, Nan Xian first breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked in He Mingxiao's direction with a gloating feeling.
When He Mingxiao saw his name listed alongside Wei Zeling's, he showed no sign of anything amiss. He remained silent for a few moments, then casually took the armband representing the Blue Team from the director and pinned it on himself.
Wei Zeling made no attempt to hide her joy. The moment she saw the result, she immediately cheered with a beaming smile. Then, as if suddenly realizing something, she glanced at the camera with embarrassment, her ears turning red as she looked at He Mingxiao.
"Brother Mingxiao, we really have great chemistry! We were assigned to the same group on our first variety show appearance!"
He Mingxiao glanced at her coldly, ignoring her words, and changed the subject, saying, "There are many small paths in the village. It would be better if we split up later to find clues."
Wei Zeling's smile froze for a moment. "Isn't it unnecessary to be in such a rush to find clues..."
He Mingxiao frowned slightly upon hearing this. He turned his head and stared at her with an extremely serious gaze. "Then what is your purpose in participating in this reality show? 'Unveiling Ghost Stories' is not a show for people to come on vacation and relax."
"Uh...that's not what I meant," Wei Zeling said, feeling embarrassed after being humiliated in public several times. A hint of anger flashed in her eyes, but then, as if remembering something, she suppressed her anger and put on a bright smile again. "I just hope you don't put too much pressure on yourself. You're already very tired from your busy work schedule. It's a rare opportunity to be on a show, so just treat it as a chance to relax!"
Upon hearing this, the onlookers exchanged knowing glances.
Even Lang Zhuo, a seasoned player who had conquered the dating scene in his youth, couldn't help but look at her with newfound respect: Listen to her sweet talk, she praised the other person's abilities while also showing her concern. What man could resist that? Wouldn't he be completely under her thumb in no time?
However, it is clear that He Mingxiao is not an "ordinary man".
He was not moved at all by Wei Zeling's words; in fact, his expression became even colder.
He said casually, "You should find a Chinese teacher to learn more. This isn't how you use your busy schedule."
“...Uh?” Wei Zeling froze completely.
Nan Xian watched silently, and upon hearing this, she almost burst out laughing on the spot.
