Chapter 100 Gentlemanly Courtesy
"Brother Guan He, don't worry, I will report anything in time!"
Ren Limeng raised the corner of her mouth, and her tone of voice, pretending to be relaxed, was as kind as the breeze on your face. Her smiling eyes were gentle and beautiful. Guan He subconsciously said, "That's good."
"Come up if you're alright."
It was a hot summer day, the sun was golden, and Shen Xingzhi was wearing a light orange life jacket, paired with a long blue raincoat. His ordinary plastic outfit gave off an indescribable sense of fashion under his tall and straight figure.
He stood steadily on the rubber boat, his black sunglasses blocking most of the expression on his face, but it could not hide his face that was as sharp as a knife and an axe, with hard lines and clear contours.
Chen Xingzhi looked coldly at Ren Limeng and others who were struggling on the shore. His eyes swept over Guan He who was smiling foolishly. His face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out. The two cold rays of light shot out of his eyes were covered by ink, but his whole body still emanated a bit of coldness.
"Brother Xingzhi, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!"
As if sensing the impatience in Shen Xingzhi's eyes, Ren Limeng looked at Shen Xingzhi apologetically, and walked towards the rubber boat with the others. She took Chen Xi's arm and calmly avoided Guan He's attempt to support her.
Chen Xingzhi looked at Ren Limeng, and the corners of his drooping mouth just lifted slightly, but when he heard Ren Limeng's affectionate call of "brother", he couldn't help but pursed his lips again.
Brother Guan He!
Brother Han Tai!
Brother Xingzhi!
How many brothers does Ren Limeng have? Great job!
"Does anyone have any experience with rafting?"
After a quick chat with the staff on the shore, Li Chuyue quickly walked over to the crowd and continued in a loud voice, "Everyone, form groups of two. It's best if one of you has rafting experience. This way, it's safer."
"That makes sense. Besides, working with men and women is less tiring."
Chen Xi smiled and looked at Shen Xingzhi who was already on the rubber boat, and added, "I have never rowed before."
When Ren Limeng turned her gaze to the camera, she saw a serious tour guide with a tour guide badge hanging on his chest standing next to the staff member that Li Chuyue had just communicated with, staring at the recording scene with a serious look on his face.
She could basically confirm that the program team and Meixiang Theater had reached an agreement. Li Chuyue and Han Tai were the visible tour guides during the recording, responsible for entertaining the entire group and teaching opera. Their warm and generous image would not only promote Meixiang Theater but also help its image gain popularity. As for the actual...
Then you don't need to worry about it.
"I'm not very good at it either, but I'm very strong, so I should be able to get the hang of it quickly!"
Guan He scratched his head and looked at Ren Limeng, who had shallow dimples beside him.
"Chu Yue and I row often. Li Meng, you can row too, right?"
After Han Tai finished talking about his and Li Chuyue's situation, he couldn't help but look at Ren Limeng on the side.
“I can row a little… but I haven’t rafted in years.”
Ren Limeng answered somewhat conservatively. She swept her eyes over the crowd and looked at Shen Xingzhi, who had been silent. As far as she knew, Shen Xingzhi could plan, and among the six people, three could and three couldn't. This should also be what Chen Xi thought when he first spoke to Li Chuyue.
Chen Xi and Shen Xingyi are a group with suitable status and beautiful shots.
Guan He can be in a group with Li Chuyue. Ren Limeng can feel Guan He's frequent goodwill after they formed a team, but she has no plans to form another CP. It is safer to choose Han Tai.
On the one hand, Ren Limeng did not regard Han Tai as a so-called blind date partner. As a stranger whom she just met yesterday and the "earnest hope" of Meixiang Theater, it was normal for Han Tai to talk more and try hard to perform in front of the camera. After all, he was half an apprentice of her father, and Ren Limeng didn't even mind setting the stage for him.
An important part of the shots in a variety show is composed of dialogues, and they can complement each other.
On the other hand, she acted more enthusiastic during the recording so that she could appease her parents. Since she acted like this, it must be Han Tai's fault that the two of them are not together, for example, Han Tai has no interest in her.
She hadn't disobeyed her parents this time; she had even taken the initiative! Seeing her good attitude, her beloved parents wouldn't criticize or nag her. They might even pity her for her "love failure," killing two birds with one stone!
Ren Limeng had a sweet dream in her mind, looking at Han Tai with smiling eyes. In her eyes, Han Tai was not only an actor of Meixiang Theater, but also her chosen tool man!
"I won't."
Chen Xingzhi looked at the smiling Ren Limeng, and couldn't help but clench his fists under his raincoat. He raised his brows slightly and looked towards the shore. "Then Chen Xi, you and Han Tai will be on the same team, Guan He and Li Chuyue will be on the same team, and Ren Limeng, come here."
As the captain, Shen Xingzhi certainly has the power to divide the team, but it is a bit strange that the captain who has always "delegated power" suddenly makes a decision.
Ren Limeng had every reason to suspect that Shen Xingzhi did it on purpose, but she really didn't want to be in a relationship with him anymore, let alone have anything to do with him.
"Brother Xingzhi, I'm not very good at rowing either. How about we ask the staff to arrange two rowing masters? The current is very fast. If neither of us can do it, we shouldn't joke with our own safety. We have a performance this weekend."
Ren Limeng's voice was cautious. She looked at the other two pairs of guests who had already taken action, and barely maintained a graceful smile on her face. Both Chen Xi and Guan He had an expression as if they wanted to say something but stopped, but did not say anything. For a moment, Ren Limeng even missed Yan Baiwei, the princess-like person at the first stop.
Since Shen Xingzhi is so "domineering", someone needs to stand up and resist fiercely!
"Li Meng, you have to trust the scenic spot. As one of the top three popular attractions in Mei City, Bawang Gorge's safety measures are definitely flawless."
Dominating the top three?
━━∑(￣□￣*|||━━
Shen Xingzhi... on the bus, he listened carefully to Han Tai's introduction, and Ren Limeng felt a little embarrassed.
"Don't dawdle, come up, we'll have a good look in one shot."
Chen Xingzhi didn't give Ren Limeng time to complain in her heart, nor did he give her any other time to react. He slowly took half a step forward, stretched out his right arm, made an inviting gesture, and with the impatience overflowing from his sunglasses, forced Ren Limeng to step forward.
If she continued to dither at this time, it would be a bit too much. Humiliating Shen Xingzhi in front of the camera was not just being a big shot, it was asking for scolding from fans.
"Thank you, Brother Xingzhi."
Ren Limeng forced out a fleeting smile, lightly holding Shen Xingzhi's right arm, keeping a polite distance in front of the camera, as if she would let go the next second after getting on the boat. The contact between the two was just a gentleman's courtesy.
But only Shen Xingzhi knew that Ren Limeng's soft fingers actually had such a hard shell. He could feel the pain of his fingertips sliding across his muscles, sharp and short, with a bit of indescribable numbness. He knew that Ren Limeng was just expressing her dissatisfaction, but she strangely soothed his restless emotions.
"careful."
Be careful not to break your nails on the strong muscles.
Chen Xingzhi said with a low laugh, with a hint of self-mockery about his own "unmotivatedness". He looked at Ren Limeng, who immediately sat down at a respectful distance as soon as he got on the rubber boat, then glanced down at the almost imperceptible red mark on his left arm, and gently raised the corner of his mouth.
Feeling the smile in Shen Xingzhi's tone, the air around him seemed to warm up a bit. Ren Limeng observed Shen Xingzhi calmly.
She couldn't control her emotions for a moment and pinched him so hard, but he wasn't angry at all?
Shen Xingyi became famous overnight, so he probably hasn't suffered much injustice since entering the industry over the years, right? Why does he still have some masochistic tendencies now?
Ren Limeng couldn't help but reflect that she had to update her impression of him. If she always relied on her old familiarity, she would definitely suffer a great loss at the hands of Shen Xingzhi.
In fact, they have long understood the magic of time. They are all different people now, so why can't they help but do some things they shouldn't do, just like pinching someone subconsciously when they were angry just now?
This is definitely not something a mature and dignified host would do. If it were a top star, or even just a second or third-tier star, her such an inappropriate behavior would be enough to spread throughout the circle and become a topic of conversation behind everyone's back. Why did she dare to do it directly to Shen Xingzhi?
"Everyone, please note that Bawang Gorge is generally quite flat, but boats can capsize quite often. Especially when encountering rapids, be sure to keep your oars in the boat, hold on to the handrails, don't sit on the side of the boat, and don't take off your life jacket..."
Han Tai and Chen Xi sat on the rubber boat at the front. Before officially setting off, Han Tai adjusted Chen Xi's life jacket beside him and couldn't help but turn around to remind everyone again.
"Li Meng, you're almost backing into the corner. Be careful or the boat might capsize."
Chen Xingyi's long legs were bent in the rubber boat. After the program crew finished adjusting the filming equipment, he tilted his head and looked at Ren Limeng who was trying hard to keep a distance in the narrow space in the boat, with a bit of indescribable interest in his eyes.
He knew she had been trying to hide from him, but the cabin was so small, in front of the camera, he wondered how she could escape!
It was like a hilarious game of cat and mouse. Shen Xingzhi couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, and spoke with the amusement of teasing a cat, his eyes fixed intently on Ren Limeng who was just a few feet away. Her back was very straight, and with a bit of forced calmness, her smile looked nonchalant.
But the slight but persistent pain in her right arm seemed to remind him all the time that her disguise was completely exposed in front of him.
"Okay, Brother Xingzhi, I'm afraid your legs might be uncomfortable, so I want to leave you more space."
Ren Limeng seemed to have just realized that there seemed to be a space as big as a child between the two of them. She raised her eyebrows in surprise and moved half a step to the side of Shen Xingzhi. After the seemingly large movement, Shen Xingzhi noticed that Ren Limeng's right arm, which was close to him, still did not exceed the center line of the rubber boat. He curled the corners of his lips.
"Yes, everyone must pay attention to safety. If you encounter any problems, you can wave and signal. There are scenic area staff on the river bank who are ready to provide services at any time. Everyone must hold on to the handrails..."
Li Chuyue and Guan He were sitting on the rubber boat at the back. During the final tidying up, Li Chuyue also raised her voice to remind the guests. Noticing the small movements between Shen Xingzhi and Ren Limeng, she paused slightly, with a thoughtful look in her eyes.
