Chapter 56 The Little Drama Queen in a Romance Variety Show 29 Fireflies
Is that a coincidence?
It's just that someone is deliberately orchestrating this behind the scenes.
The place they went to was more like a botanical garden, with the shimmering moonlight hanging in the azure sky, making Yun Chiyi's skin appear snow-white.
He didn't know how many seconds after he walked in, Lin Qiaoyu's hand naturally grasped his palm, gently enveloping his small hand in hers, like a warm piece of jade. He didn't use much force, but rather gently, as if afraid of breaking it.
The air was filled with a damp scent, and Yun Chiyi's nose felt itchy. With a gentle sniff, the fragrance of flowers spread out.
A gentle breeze occasionally blows by, and the rustling sound is right next to my ear.
"Why don't I see any fireflies? Are they all sleeping?" Yun Chiyi said lazily, yawning.
She was wearing a nightgown tonight; the satin fabric was incredibly smooth, and the neckline was adorned with exquisitely crafted ruffles. Her delicate collarbones were shallow and refined, like those of a meticulously crafted porcelain doll.
Her braids hung down on both sides of her shoulders; Tang Yu had tied them for her on the spot. They looked like little rabbit ears and swayed as she walked, making her very endearing.
Yun Chiyi was so sleepy she was about to fall asleep. Receiving no answer, she gripped his sleeve tightly, her voice filled with resentment: "Seriously? You didn't even say a word to me?"
Lin Qiao's cool voice said, "Look there."
Yun Chiyi looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw shimmering lights in the dense bushes, which made her eyes sparkle.
firefly!
I haven't seen fireflies in a long time. The original owner saw them once while filming in the wild, but he wasn't a romantic person and didn't look at them closely.
In truth, Yun Chiyi wasn't the type to be frivolous and elegant. It was simply because she was in a good mood tonight, and seeing tiny, rice-grain-sized lights shimmering freely in the darkness, that her steps became light and carefree.
She let go of Lin Qiaoyu's hand, looked up in the open space, and followed the direction in which the fireflies flew.
"The director said there are more than a dozen kinds of fireflies here. How can there be so many glowing insects?"
She suddenly had a whimsical thought: "Can I sleep with the lights on at night? I can't sleep when I see light."
Lin Qiao rarely spoke to her, but followed her step by step.
Yun Chiyi asked again, "Let's walk ahead and take a look. There seem to be some very beautiful flowers. They'll have a different feel at night."
Lin Qiao nodded.
Yun Chiyi extended her hand: "Hold my hand."
Lin Qiaoyu grasped her hand without hesitation, his thumb kneading her soft hand.
At this moment, the show finally started to resemble a dating reality show.
Yun Chi asked him ambiguously, "What are you thinking about?"
[Nighttime, fireflies, holding hands—how romantic!]
[It's strange that Yelin Qiao and I don't talk much. Are we being forced to act? The show is almost over, isn't it?]
Does he look like he's being forced?
Along with the comments, the scene that appeared was Lin Qiao bending down, lifting Yun Chiyi's legs, and holding her horizontally in his arms.
Yun Chiyi was stunned: "The director assigned you a task?"
Lin Qiaoyu replied, "No."
After a few seconds, he continued, "You're so happy you don't even notice where you're going. If you fall here, I'll have to carry you anyway."
Yun Chiyi smiled with narrowed eyes: "My God, what you said makes so much sense."
However, this was far from the answer she wanted.
She bit her soft, red lower lip, hooked her arms around Lin Qiaoyu's neck to get closer to him, a sly glint in her eyes, and spoke slowly and softly, her lips almost touching his earlobe.
"What do you think the others are doing?"
Lin Qiaoyu: "You kissed my ear."
Yun Chiyi: "..."
Can't you tell she did it on purpose?
And she had to say it on camera. Where does that leave her dignity?!
Lin Qiao lowered his eyes, a hint of pleasure in them, admiring her as her ears turned red because of his words.
He knows what the others are doing right now.
Shen Zhouzhou had no romantic flair, nor any scientific spirit. As soon as she entered the butterfly garden, she wrapped herself in a blanket and leaned against the bench by the entrance to sleep, telling Tang Yu to call her back when she left.
There were cameras all around, so she slept very peacefully.
Tang Yu walked quietly through the woods. Although it was called a woods, the trees were actually very sparse. She walked a long way ahead and could still see Shen Zhouzhou fast asleep and unconscious when she looked back.
It's good that Shen Zhouzhou came along; he's quiet and won't disturb her while she's observing the butterflies.
As darkness fell, the bright moonlight, like a veil, landed on the butterfly's tail.
The rendered colors are bathed in a holy light, and the butterflies seem like creatures from another world, as if they were messengers delivering messages.
Tang Yu observed very carefully, squatting in one spot for five or six minutes at a time.
Perhaps in Shen Zhouzhou's eyes, these sleeping insects are no different from specimens.
However, in Tang Yu's view, this was a rare visual feast.
On the other side, Yu Kexin, a female guest alone, was with three male guests. She walked in front, and the water birds made a cooing sound when they slept, which she found very annoying.
The other three were even more distracted. They took a few steps forward, glanced at each other, and had nothing to say to each other.
With his hands in his pockets, Lu Yi'ang, wearing his pajamas like a cape, finally voiced his curiosity: "I wonder what Yun Chiyi is doing right now."
He was too lazy to beat around the bush and didn't care about Lin Qiao's whereabouts, who was traveling with Yun Chiyi. He only wanted to know what Yun Chiyi was doing now.
But when he said it so casually, the other two looked astonished.
No matter what, these things shouldn't be said in the open.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Lu Yi'ang spread his arms to the sides, boredly picked a handful of leaves from the tree, and threw them on the ground with great force. However, the leaves were not heavy to begin with, and eventually they floated lightly to his feet.
It was as if his words had gone unanswered.
Lu Yi'ang smiled and said, "Why are you all looking at me? Can't I say I miss her?"
Gu Huai sighed softly: "You should have said these things to her face."
Lu Yi'ang, however, didn't have that guts; their conversations mostly consisted of bickering.
He spoke his true feelings behind people's backs, mixed with the conditions bound by the contract. He didn't want to distinguish how much of his current feelings were genuine and how much were fake.
That's not important.
Lu Yi'ang called out to Song Shiguang in a harsh tone, "Hey, you've been staring blankly with your head down, are you preoccupied?"
Song Shiguang's gaze drifted over coldly: "I just want to sleep."
With the show nearing its end, Lu Yi'ang, in order to earn more prize money, took the task of stirring up trouble very seriously.
He said, "I know what you're thinking."
Upon hearing this, Song Shiguang's face darkened, and his outwardly aloof demeanor diminished considerably.
Lu Yi'ang dramatically circled around him, deliberately slowing his pace: "Look, at first everyone thought you and Tang Yu were a perfect match, a match made in heaven. How come things didn't go right later? Did she stop liking you, or did you change your mind?"
Several large men gathered around, waking Yu Kexin from her nap. Her gaze darted back and forth between them.
Tonight they're even arranging for three men to perform on stage together—what a lively scene! It'll definitely be worth the trip.
Faced with Lu Yi'ang's blunt accusation, Song Shiguang calmly replied, "I think you might be meddling a bit too much."
Lu Yi'ang: "I'm so curious. The current situation is that Gu Huai has feelings for Yun Chiyi, and he hasn't changed his mind at all."
Gu Huai's expression remained largely unchanged as he changed the subject: "Everyone is tired, why don't we go to the hot spring hotel to rest first?"
Lu Yi'ang, wanting to make a scene, waved his hand and continued, "I haven't finished analyzing it yet. As for Lin Qiao and her side, needless to say, they're always following her around, afraid that someone else will seize the initiative."
A wicked smile appeared on his handsome face: "And what about you? What is your attitude towards Yun Chiyi?"
Song Shiguang stood up straight and gave a vague answer: "She's more interesting than I imagined."
Now, Lu Yi'ang couldn't laugh anymore, because this was also his true feeling.
Seeing him in a daze, Song Shiguang immediately seized the opportunity: "Lu Yi'ang, you like Yun Chiyi, right?"
He used affirmative statements.
What's the use of liking someone? They're not going to be together anyway.
Lu Yi'ang turned away irritably: "Let's hurry up and finish this so we can go back."
He listened to the contract too much and ended up losing money.
This time, Yu Kexin walked at the very back. Looking at the three tall figures of them, she could see that they all looked disheveled.
Her eyes showed displeasure; being with them made her feel absolutely terrible.
Yu Kexin's steps faltered, and suddenly a loud scream made everyone stop in their tracks.
Yu Kexin was a girl after all, and it was dark, so she couldn't see clearly what was going on around her. She subconsciously grabbed Gu Huai's clothes and asked, "What was that sound... Did you hear anything...?"
The sudden scream was extremely piercing, and everyone heard it, of course.
Gu Huai's gaze fell on Yu Kexin's hand, and he subtly pulled out the hem of his clothes, but also stepped forward to block her.
"It seems to be coming from the east."
Lu Yi'ang scratched his head: "Who's in the east now?"
Song Shiguang thought for a moment and replied, "It seems to be Lin Qingsheng."
The remaining people were just about to slap their foreheads in realization, "Oh, right, there's a new male guest too."
Lin Qingsheng's shouts echoed across the island, and even Tang Yu, who was bending down to admire the butterflies up close, looked up curiously in his direction.
What has he encountered that's causing him to scream so pitifully?
A long, cold, slippery object slid down from the tree and hit Lin Qingsheng's face, which he had raised out of curiosity.
Despite not being able to see it, the unfamiliar, cold touch and the intermittent hissing sound made Lin Qingsheng instantly guess the creature that had fallen.
snake.
And it wasn't just one, but a whole nest.
Are the snakes kept in captivity here poisonous? Will they bite?
The crawling sound went around his shoulders and neck, and he froze in place, unable to move, until snakes of all sizes fell off his body.
Lin Qingsheng's face was deathly pale. She crawled on both hands and feet, rushing towards the bright door.
This lousy show, this lousy director, and the terrible lottery he drew.
He will definitely not let these people get away with it!
As he approached the door, the hemp rope hanging from the tree startled him again.
Lin Qingsheng's face contorted in terror, instantly abandoning all the composure she had cultivated over the years: "Ahhhhhh!!!!! A snake!!!"
