Chapter 109 Chapter 109 Are we really here for a trip? ...
Bai Qingqing and Jiang Muning got into the car one after another. They sat in the back seat, with more than one person's space between them.
Jiang Muning lowered the window a little and waved to the people in front of the door. Ao Xinyi waved the back of his hand forward and asked the driver to drive. The extended black Lincoln car moved slowly until it passed the circular fountain in front of the door. Jiang Muning then retracted his longing face back into the car.
The smile on his face disappeared instantly. He sat upright in his seat, glanced at Bai Qingqing who was sleeping against the car window, then withdrew his eyes indifferently and looked forward calmly.
〖Wow, we've only been gone for a few days, what's wrong with everyone? Why hasn't anyone's favorability increased? Ao Xinyi and Ao Teng's are still dropping by 555... Is it because I came back this time to have a conflict with the guy with the last name Ao?TuT〗
Jiang Muning: "This is something that has been anticipated..."
The early morning sky was filled with a hazy, clear blue light. Jiang Muning looked out the window at the shadows of the trees. Every blade of grass and every tree matched the Bai family in his memory.
She was back in the past, at a similar time point, but the current situation was very different from the past. Apart from Bai Qingqing, she could not find any other problems.
She was not surprised that the Bai family's favorability did not increase.
I just don’t know what’s going on with Bai San. This time she got close to Bai San earlier than before, and Bai San obviously treated her differently.
She thought that sending the photos back would cause him psychological fluctuations and he would have to say something or do something. However, after she returned home for two days, Bai Siqi's attitude towards her became even more restrained.
In front of the Bai family’s door.
Ao Xinyi covered his lips and coughed in the wind, watching the sisters' car drive away until he could no longer see the taillights.
"Let's go back." Bai Shuting put his arm around his wife's shoulders: "It's still early to go to the hospital, can you sleep a little longer?"
Ao Xinyi shook his head.
She had a hard time sleeping these past two days. If she woke up in the middle of the night, her throat would feel even more uncomfortable, and she couldn't fall asleep even if she lay down again: "I'm already awake, I won't sleep anymore. The more I sleep, the more headache I'll have."
After sending Jiang Mu Ning off, Bai Songxu felt melancholy. He continued his mother's words and said sadly, "My sister, who I waited for so long, is gone again. I'm so sad. I need to sleep for a while to heal my wounds. Don't wait for me for breakfast."
"You just want to take a nap! Ahem." Ao Xinyi pointed at the background where he was running away and shouted.
Bai Lincheng and Bai Heyun also turned around and prepared to go back.
Ao Bai and Bai Siqi walked back side by side. After going up two steps, they suddenly realized that one person was missing. Looking back, they saw Bai Siqi was still standing there, looking in the direction the car left.
Ao Xinyi's mind went blank, and he subconsciously called out to him without even thinking: "Bai Siqi!"
Bai Siqi heard her shout, came back to his senses, turned around with some confusion, and quickly put on his usual gentle smile on his slightly stunned face. He walked closer to her and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ao Xinyi's wrists were trembling slightly under his shawl.
Her own shouting just now echoed in her ears, which seemed a little too anxious. She suppressed the panic at the corners of her lips, smiled unnaturally, and calmed her mind and said, "I suddenly remembered, ahem, something, I forgot to tell you."
"What's the hurry?" Bai Siqi asked.
"Siqi, you're already 26, and you stay at home all day painting, cough cough, and I haven't seen you dating any girls, let alone bringing girls home, cough cough cough."
The morning breeze outside was getting stronger. Bai Shuting and Bai Siqi took Ao Xinyi back to the house, one on each side. Ms. Xu poured warm water for them.
Ao Xinyi felt much better after leaving Feng. He drank some warm water and continued, "If you have a girl you like, you can tell your parents about it. If you don't want to bring her home, find a chance to get together and show her to your parents."
When Bai Siqi heard "Xinyi's girl", the gentle smile on his lips paused, and he thought of Jiang Muning's face.
He knew this day would come, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.
He pinched the knuckles of his fingers, suppressed the face that came to his mind, and replied softly: "I don't have a favorite girl. I will show you when I find one."
"I guessed it! You never go out, so where can you find a girl you like?" Ao Xinyi smiled, and soon said seriously: "Siqi, Mom has seen a few good girls, some who like art, painting, music, etc., who have something in common with you, and some who are engaged in business, scientific research, and academics, all kinds of people, would you like to meet them?"
Bai Siqi knew they would talk about this from the very beginning when he heard his mother start talking at the door.
He sighed and said, "Matters of love still depend on fate..."
"If you like boys, mom has seen a few of them." Ao Xinyi interrupted him.
Bai Shuting and Bai Lincheng, who was drinking coffee not far away, turned their heads and looked at Ao Xinyi silently.
Bai Siqi: “…”
"I don't like boys, Mom..."
"Well, that's because I like girls. It just so happens that your Aunt Tang's daughter is having a concert in China these days. You know Aunt Tang's daughter, a cellist. She gave you a record before. She's on a global tour now. It's not easy to meet her."
Ao Xinyi had an eager and enthusiastic expression, which made anyone who saw him excited.
He stared at his son expectantly, fearing that he might not be willing, and added, "You don't have to think of it as a blind date. Just meet each other as friends. If you get along well, chat. If not, just think of it as going to her concert."
Bai Siqi was silent for a while, then nodded: "Okay, I'll go."
Ao Xinyi became happy and stood up immediately, asking Ms. Xu to go to her room to get the tickets. He patted Bai Siqi on the shoulder and said, "The concert is at 6 o'clock tonight. You should prepare early, dress nicely, prepare some gifts, and make a bouquet of flowers. You don't need your mother to teach you these, right?"
Bai Siqi had no choice but to stand up with her and look at his eldest brother and fourth brother who were watching the show not far away.
"Mom, you should consider your brother..."
"Your eldest brother has Gu Lan, so your mother doesn't need to worry about him. Your fourth brother is young and a playboy, so I don't need to take care of him. I just need to take care of you."
Bai Heyun gently bumped into Bai Lincheng and asked, "Who is Gu Lan?"
Bai Lincheng frowned when he thought of her: "A colleague."
"Oh - colleague~" Bai Heyun said sarcastically, and hung on his brother's shoulder with a gossipy face: "I'm going to the company to play today, and let me meet your colleague~"
Bai Lincheng frowned even deeper, and thought of Bai Qingqing for no apparent reason.
She felt that Bai Heyun's sarcastic tone and gossipy nature were exactly the same as hers.
He put down the empty porcelain cup and said, "I think you are too idle. You should find a class to attend. I suggest you apply directly at the company. You can also take advantage of being a fresh graduate."
Bai Mincheng said and turned away.
Bai Heyun smiled even more happily: "Does this count as a direct hire from the boss? I tell you I'm very expensive!"
*
Bai Qingqing and Jiang Muning's car, which was heading to the Yaomu Building, changed direction halfway through the journey.
Wu Weiran called halfway and asked them where they were. He said in an exaggerated tone that there were too many paparazzi and entertainment reporters blocking the Yaomu TV building, so he asked everyone to meet at the airport instead.
The Bai family's car arrived at the airport. When they were near the terminal, Bai Qingqing realized that the director's exaggeration was not without reason.
There were many cars parked in front of the terminal. They drove away after dropping off the reporters and cameras. Those who were coming and going in front of the door were all waiting for Bai Qingqing and Jiang Muning to make their first appearance after filming the real and fake daughter incident.
When the two entered the airport through a special channel, Wu Weiran was rushing to the airport while dispatching people in Ying City to maintain subsequent on-site security.
An hour later, everyone gathered in the airport VIP lounge.
Pu Yueling was the first to rush over. She felt that the past half month had been longer than half a year. She looked at the two protagonists in the real and fake daughter incidents in shock, pulling one with each hand: "Oh my God, I've been looking at real and fake daughters for half my life, and today I met the real one!"
She looked back and forth between Bai Qingqing and Jiang Muning, each shocked, not knowing who to look at.
At first, she only guessed that Bai Qingqing and Bai Muning were a family. Who would have thought that the Bai family only had one daughter!
Bai Muning is not a member of the Bai family, Bai Qingqing is!
No, no, no, Bai Mu Ning should be called Jiang Mu Ning now. She, she, she is actually the daughter of Jiang Jin and Nie Wanqing!
What kind of novel plot is this that has come true?
Chen Rui was not to be outdone. He squeezed to Pu Yueling's side, snatched Bai Qingqing's hand, and held it in his own hands: "Shocked my sister Qing, this time you are really my sister, please get me a TO autograph for Sister Yi!"
Bai Qingqing pulled back her hand: "I can't."
Chen Ruihao: "Please, please."
Jiang Muning also smiled shyly at Pu Yueling: "Anyway... things have become like this now."
Bao Zishi and Zan Fang also came in the same car with them.
He couldn't run as fast as the two kids, and followed the director slowly into the lounge.
When he saw Bai Qingqing and Jiang Muning, he nodded slightly as a greeting.
I haven't seen Teacher Bao for more than a month. He looks much better. The dark spots on his face are gone and his complexion is rosy. It is obvious that he has had a good rest during this period.
Zan Fang still had that cold and aloof face, as if he was out of touch with the world. After briefly greeting the two of them, he found an empty seat and sat down.
The heavy black bag was placed close to his body.
Bai Qingqing heard the sound of objects colliding inside and took a look. She remembered that when she was in Jilin Village, she had seen the wonderful use of this small backpack. It was full of valuable magic tools.
Wu Weiran greeted everyone, then smiled and carried a chair to the front of everyone. He leaned his elbows on the back of the chair and said to the six people, "Long time no see. I hope everyone is doing well. Welcome, Mr. Bao, to join our team again."
"The situation this time is special. There are paparazzi everywhere outside, so I changed your tickets. We will go to Heluo Airport, which is farther away from Baotong County, in Ying City. We will skip the makeup after arriving in Ying City.
If you want to change your hairstyle or makeup, you can do it yourself, or you can ask our stylist to do it after you get on the plane."
"Have you read the script?"
Chen Ruihao: “I’ve seen it.”
Pu Yueling: “I’ve seen it.”
The camera had been set up, and the two children raised their hands to show their respect and responded loudly, and the others nodded one after another.
"Well, this time everyone is a college student traveling. The recording will start when the plane is about to land. After arriving in Ying City, you will rent a car and drive to Baotong. You can discuss and decide on which attractions to visit and how to stay in the room."
"If there is no doubt, let's go!"
Everyone said it was no problem, Wu Weiran clapped his hands, and the six guests and on-site staff started moving, carrying equipment, luggage and tools, and walked towards the corridor bridge in a mighty procession.
Pu Yueling was dressed like a young girl today. She had her long hair braided into two pigtails and tied them with a thin green ribbon in the middle, making her look smart and pretty.
He also brought a D and a Go Pro, and started taking pictures with Bai Qingqing and Jiang Muning on the way to boarding the plane.
Chen Ruihao showed his face from the corner of the camera and made several scissors hands gestures. The few of them were laughing and joking all the way, and they really looked like college friends traveling together.
By the time the plane circled over Ying City, the three girls had already had the same hairstyle.
They were all done by Pu Yueling. Bai Qingqing was reluctant at first, but she couldn't resist her begging and braided an orange hairband into the ponytail at the back of her head, making it look like a pair of goat horns sticking up at the back of her head.
Wu Weiran and several cameramen all smiled lovingly, their faces more kindly than when they were watching their own children playing.
Wu Weiran's eyes were filled with joy but also a hint of uneasiness as he looked between the three girls, finally settling on Bai Qingqing.
It’s okay, the leader said that Master Qingqing can handle it.
If it can be done, then there must be no problem!
The Special Investigation Bureau even gave them several more talismans this time! Each of them got a few more, so it was no problem for Baotong!
He exchanged glances with the cameraman, put on a small red hat, stood on the aisle before the plane landed, waved a small red flag in his hand, and cleared his throat to the four young people who were playing and fighting.
Bao Zishi and Zan Fang knew that the recording had started, so they were the first to put down what they were doing and look at him.
"Welcome to Yingshi, a city with picturesque scenery. It is a famous tourist city in China. From June to July every year, the lotus leaves are endlessly green and the lotus flowers are particularly red in the sun. Please enjoy your self-driving trip in this flower city.
This tour group has three experience projects: 1. Each person can experience a famous snack in Ying City, and each person cannot repeat it;
2. Explore local scenic spots and historical sites;
3. Attend a local rally or festival. ”
In the fourth episode of "Heart Signal", Wu Weiran acted as the director of the tour group in front of the camera.
Chen Ruihao couldn't help but interrupt: "Is this the mission for this period?"
The script they got contained very little information.
It only contained a three-day and two-night travel plan to Ying City. There were no words related to the supernatural. Even his character seemed useless. He was just an ordinary college student who loved traveling.
I thought he was a blank slate, which is why he got this information.
But now looking at the tasks announced by the director, they seem... a little too pure?
Is this draw particularly easy?
Pu Yueling also nodded, feeling that this episode was too much like a trip.
Wu Weiran nodded and said affirmatively: "This is the mission for this period. The goal of our tour group is to ensure that every member of the group has good food, drink and fun."
“There are three points below, please keep them in mind:
1. Please keep the tour group's mascot with you at all times..."
As soon as Wu Weiran opened his mouth, the style of the program immediately became appropriate. In front of the camera, the staff handed each person a lotus sachet, which obviously contained the amulet for this episode.
When Bai Qingqing took it, she felt a hard piece inside. She folded it with two fingers and felt that there were more yellow talismans inside than in the previous issues.
Chen Ruihao also opened the bag and looked inside. He saw five talismans stuffed full in the black sachet. He turned his head and said to Pu Yueling, "The production team must have been scared in the last episode. The desire to survive is very strong in this episode."
After he finished speaking, he waited for Pu Yueling to speak.
Pu Yueling didn't agree at first, she had a hunch that something was not right, as if something was fishy.
She subconsciously glanced at Bai Qingqing and saw her casually pinch the belly of the sachet and put it in her pocket, looking nonchalant. She felt relieved and suppressed the strange feeling.
In the corridor, Wu Weiran continued to read out the precautions.
It is no different from previous episodes, except that this episode is more immersive, as if they have no special mission or purpose to participate in this episode, but just to have fun, with a high degree of freedom.
After the classic opening remarks.
The staff returned to their seats one after another. When the plane landed, six people took their bags, wore sunglasses and sun hats, and pushed their luggage off the plane by themselves.
Chen Ruihao walked in front holding a small flag, and from time to time he looked behind him to see if the people were keeping up. Following the business card given by the director and navigating on his mobile phone, he led everyone to the first destination, the car rental company.
"I have to state in advance that I can't drive and I don't have a driver's license. Who among you has a driver's license?"
Several people left the airport through a special channel and did not encounter any paparazzi or fans waiting outside.
Chen Ruihao was not in a hurry. He sorted out the itinerary while turning back to ask.
Neither Jiang Muning nor Pu Yueling knows how to drive. Bai Qingqing is a good driver in her own world, but she doesn't have a driver's license here.
Baozishi and Zanfang can open.
When Zan Fang followed Teacher Bao in nodding, Pu Yueling became quiet. The image of him driving in Taoist clothes appeared in her mind. They all suppressed their lips and asked Zan Fang to drive later.
Zan Fang didn't know what they were laughing at and agreed.
Baozishi had no idea that they were imagining the scene of Tang Monk smoking and driving, so he discussed with Zan Fang that they could take turns driving along the way.
After all, it’s not a short drive from Heluo Airport to Baotong.
There were already many tourists in the urban area of Ying City, many people knew them, and there were also many fans and reporters following their itinerary. Several people planned to drive directly to Baotong to complete the mission to avoid being blocked by them halfway.
On the way to the car rental company, Pu and Chen were making a travel plan.
I looked directly at the real-life map of Baotong County, and saw a lot of things on the map that were not advertised online, but in fact there are quite a few old buildings, a lot of lotus flowers, and several old temples.
At the entrance of one of the old temples, which had a dilapidated and rotten door, there was a handwritten sign with a piece of red paper pasted on it, with information about religious ceremonies to be held on June 27th and 28th written in rather perfunctory calligraphy.
Several people passed the picture around.
When it was passed to Bai Qingqing, she saw the half-body statue of the god exposed after the door was broken in the real-life map, and her eyes narrowed slightly.
The statue was blocked by a middle-aged woman and could not be seen completely.
But it was dark behind the old temple, and it seemed that there were quite a few people gathered there.
The map could not be further enlarged at this point, nor could the angle be adjusted. Due to the dim light, the specific details could not be seen clearly, but Bai Qingqing had a hunch that there were quite a few people here.
It looks like a very popular temple.
She passed the phone to Zan Fang.
Zan Fang also swiped the screen of his phone, but seeing that he couldn't move it, he passed it to the next person.
Bao Zishi: "The third task is to participate in a local gathering and ceremony. Should this ritual be counted as one of them?"
"Okay, okay." Everyone responded and decided to participate in this.
The task in this issue seems to be very simple, and everyone looks relaxed.
It takes more than two hours to drive from the city to Baotong County. The group rented a seven-seater car from a car rental company, stuffed a cameraman in the car, and then headed directly to a restaurant in the county.
Several other cars from the director's crew followed behind them.
As the lead car moved forward, Wu Weiran shouted into the intercom, "Let's go, get moving," then opened WeChat, found the person at the top of the post, and respectfully sent him a photo of the car in front.
The postscript reads: [They set off.]
