Chapter 205 Gangcheng
Not long after, Shen Xingzhi's reply finally arrived.
Chen Xingzhi: How old are you, and you're still acting cute?
Ren Limeng: Senior Xingzhi, what are you talking about? I will always be 18 years old!!!
Ren Limeng: However, if Senior Xingzhi strongly requests, we can also switch to mature mode, dear~
Ren Limeng raised her head and put down her phone shyly. She was even embarrassed to look at the message she sent a second time, but... the "Sweet Talk Crash Course - 108 Strategies to Coax Your Partner into a Placenta" that she had just taken on social media had benefited her a lot and she was eager to try it.
Anyway...through the phone screen, Chen Xingyi can't do anything to her for a while, if it really doesn't work, just assume that she... is having a seizure or her account has been hacked!
Ren Limeng gritted her teeth and her heart tightened. She no longer hesitated and sent a series of messages. Whether it was the hosting work or the recording of "Shan Hai", she had never felt so embarrassed at this moment. The secret corner of her heart was filled with unspeakable uneasiness that she couldn't describe.
Shen Xingzhi: ...
Chen Xingzhi: Ren Limeng, I forgive you. Can you please speak normally?
Ren Limeng: Brother Xingzhi, I'm not trying to be picky, but calling your girlfriend "forgiveness" is like that? (dog head)
Ren Limeng tried hard to savor the indifferent tone in the texts sent by her new boyfriend, but she could only imagine someone looking up with a cold face, as if she was back to the time when they first met.
At that time, when Shen Xingzhi was unhappy, he would call her "Ren Limeng" coldly, with a sense of cold alienation.
Ren Limeng couldn't help but quote Shen Xingzhi's latest news and asked directly with confidence.
Ren Limeng: (sighing.jpg)
It is true that she cares about the name, but...her counter-question at this moment also has a bit of a "the villain complains first" attitude, as if this can cleverly cover up the small problem of her being a little slow in replying to messages and get away with it.
Ren Limeng looked at her new news with satisfaction, leaning back in her chair, feeling a lot more relaxed.
Thinking about it now, it still seems a bit surreal. After being single for so many years, she actually has a boyfriend!
This matter made her even more helpless than being the captain of the Sangong team. However, the recording was tight, and she only had such a short free time to relax a little and think about such a wonderful thing.
Even at this moment, she couldn't completely relax.
Feeling some deliberate gazes from all around, Ren Limeng raised her head slightly, and seemed to meet Li Qingzi's eyes. They smiled at each other in tacit understanding, and looked away at the same time. The cameras around them were still faithfully recording every second on the train.
Chen Xingzhi:?
Shen Xingzhi replied very quickly this time. It was clearly just a question mark, but in an instant, many thoughts flooded into Ren Limeng's mind, making her unable to help but squint her eyes.
Even through the cold screen, Ren Limeng could still imagine Shen Xingzhi's disbelieving and confused expression at the moment, as if he couldn't believe that she could question him so confidently, even though she was clearly in the wrong at the beginning and ignored him first.
Ren Limeng involuntarily raised her clenched left fist and quickly suppressed the corners of her mouth that were trying to rise after reading the message. This seemingly illogical chat was somehow so interesting that she couldn't help but continue secretly even though she knew there was a camera next to her.
Chen Xingzhi: Okay, okay, then what do you mean by forgiveness?
Chen Xingzhi: Mengmeng?
Chen Xingzhi replied to two messages in a row very quickly. Ren Limeng's eyes fell on the last two words sent by Chen Xingzhi. The extremely familiar words seemed to have a different kind of magic, making her unable to look away easily.
She suddenly covered her mouth even harder. Perhaps Shen Xingzhi had sent this message with some resentment, but somehow, in Ren Limeng's mind, she suddenly remembered Shen Xingzhi's handsome face, gently gazing at her, his low, hoarse voice lingering in her ears...
Stop!
"The train will arrive at Gangchengnan Railway Station..."
While she was daydreaming, she suddenly heard the announcement that the train was about to arrive. Ren Limeng subconsciously looked up, pursed her lips, and reluctantly sent a message to Shen Xingzhi that she had arrived at the station. Without waiting for Shen Xingzhi's reply, Ren Limeng forced herself to turn off the phone.
When she raised her eyes, she met the quiet gazes of Li Qingzi and An Ling. She smiled slowly, hiding all the strong emotions lingering in her heart.
She and Shen Xingzhi have a long future together, and what is more important at the moment is the recording of the third public performance of "Shan Hai".
During the group discussion on accommodation, the four of them all chose a standard double room for 300 yuan. During the break, Ren Limeng and Fei Jingting booked the Gangcheng Hotel together. Ren Limeng and Li Qingzi shared the same room, and everyone went to the hotel to put their luggage first.
"Li Meng, you seem to be in a good mood. Is there something happy going on?"
In the room, Li Qingzi noticed that Ren Limeng was still smiling while looking at her phone. She couldn't help but wonder in her heart and spoke with a smile.
"A lot. I'm so happy to be sharing a room with Sister Qingzi. Sister Qingzi, we are so destined to be together!"
Ren Limeng spoke without hesitation, using a familiar tone and a gentle smile with a slight wink, as if what she said at the moment was from her heart.
The room allocation just now was decided on the spot by the four members of the team, and Ren Limeng sincerely felt that he and Li Qingzi did have some fate.
Ren Limeng seemed not to notice the temptation that flashed across Li Qingzi's eyes. She raised her head and looked at Li Qingzi, the smile on her lips becoming sweeter, with an air of self-righteousness that made Li Qingzi want to remain silent.
The silence continued until the afternoon recording.
The first stop of Ren Limeng’s team in Gangcheng was to check in at the famous Dongpo Restaurant in Gangcheng and learn how to make Dongpo pork and Dongpo pancakes.
Looking at the restaurant owner outside the camera enthusiastically greeting the director Dong Zhu's hurried footsteps, Ren Limeng reasonably suspected that the program crew had received sponsorship fees from this restaurant. Otherwise, why would Dong Zhu inexplicably speak up during the meeting on the train and strongly recommend that the four of them go straight to this "unmissable old restaurant" in the afternoon to check in. The program crew even put this restaurant first on the must-check-in list in the guide book.
"This shop seems to be a century-old shop. I saw it when I was here last time to make a travel guide, but I went directly into the mountains to take pictures and didn't have time to come to Wangjiang."
Fei Jingting kneaded the dough for Dongpo pancakes with ease and chatted with everyone.
The main urban area of Gangcheng is divided into two parts. One side is the Wangjiang District surrounded by rivers, which is mainly composed of modern buildings; the other side is the Guanshan District with overlapping mountains, which is densely packed with Gangcheng’s major cultural relics.
Ren Limeng and her three companions planned to check in in Wangjiang District for the first two days of this week, and then visit Guanshan District for the next three days.
"Most of the fun things to do in Gangcheng are still in Guanshan, but I heard there's a lot of food in Wangjiang. I'm going to give you a free meal at the restaurant tonight, so why not try it? Tomorrow I'm going to prepare Gangcheng specialties for everyone. By the way, does anyone have any dietary restrictions?"
Fei Jingting asked the other members of the team with a smile. After accepting the funding and travel plan arranged by Ren Limeng, she was full of energy along the way, hoping to make her teammates have a satisfactory week and to show herself well in front of the camera.
As a professional travel blogger who has been to Gangcheng, Fei Jingting is good at planning itineraries and team members.
"Jingting, just arrange it."
"It's all right. Thank you for your hard work."
Listening to An Ling and Li Qingzi's answers, Ren Limeng also nodded slowly with a smile. Fei Jingting agreed readily. The atmosphere somehow became silent again. For a while, the only sound that could be heard was the various kneading sounds made by everyone when making Dongpo cakes.
Very focused, but also a little... boring.
Ren Limeng has been paying attention to the recording scene. Fei Jingting is an extrovert and is always adjusting the atmosphere in the team. However, the other three of them are gentle and quiet, or they have such personalities in front of the camera. Even Ren Limeng herself often doesn't have much to say in the recording, and often before she knows it, the camera has become very quiet.
In the following recording, Ren Limeng intentionally increased the frequency of her speaking, and her interactions with Fei Jingting became more frequent, as if there was harmony within the team.
But she knew very well that at the beginning of the third public recording, if the whole team remained in this state, the audience would easily feel bored when their part was broadcast, and even the proportion of their shots in the entire program would decrease.
The focus of reality shows is on the show. Whether it is a chaotic dispute or a hidden agenda, it is more eye-catching than the seemingly calm silence.
Ren Limeng: I have an idea that I would like to talk about with you all.
In the evening, the four members of Ren Limeng's team held another meeting in the hotel training room arranged by the program group. After deciding that the performance song would be "Laughing in the Spring Breeze" and the stage would be dominated by floral elements, everyone quickly finalized other matters concerning the stage with the program group, completed the lyrics for "Laughing in the Spring Breeze", and practiced the song together until 9 o'clock before disbanding and returning to their rooms to rest.
Ren Limeng suddenly sent a series of messages to the WeChat group of the San Gong team that the four of them had just established today.
Ren Limeng: Can we act as our own tour guides for the next trip and showcase Gangcheng with our perspective and expertise?
Ren Limeng: For example, Lingjie and I are the hosts. We can use professional broadcasting tones to introduce various attractions on the spot. Qingzi is an actor and can interpret certain historical stories of Gangcheng in an emotional way. The rest of us cooperate with her performance.
Ren Limeng: Jingting can film all of this and make a vlog for the "Mountains and Seas" Gangcheng album. Whether it is used in the program or uploaded to social media, it may be very vivid and interesting.
Ren Limeng: Of course, this will make everyone very tired in the next few days. I don’t know what everyone thinks, so I didn’t directly raise this idea during the meeting.
Ren Limeng: I sincerely hope that everyone can seriously consider this. Sorry to bother you all. Thank you (flowers) (flowers) (flowers)
