Chapter 088

The hunt is over and the guests meet at the helicopter landing site.

Zhou Qingyu was very excited. She hunted a wild boar, while it took two grown men, Zhou Yanci and Pei Hanli, to hunt a wild goat. This made her feel very satisfied.

However, the hunting club accepted the prey and told Zhou Qingyu that the prey still needed to go through a professional inspection process before it could be released.

After confirming whether it was edible, Zhou Qingyu's idea of ​​grilling it was shelved.

She was so tired that she pulled a chair and sat down. Her military boots were stained with snow and there was thick mud on the soles of her feet, which made her very uncomfortable.

Pei Yubai has arrived at the primeval forest. He is now helping Zhou Qingyu look at a travel brochure to decide where to have dinner.

"Pei Yubai," Zhou Qingyu called him, "My boots are dirty, help me clean them."

Pei Yubai's back stiffened.

The moment Zhou Qingyu called him, everyone looked over, including Pei Hanli and Zhou Yanci, the program staff, and the guides from the hunting club.

Pei Yubai felt like he was on edge. He still had a plaster cast on his hand, which made it very inconvenient for him to move. But Zhou Qingyu made such a request at this time. Wasn't that an insult to him?

He could almost hear the stealthy laughter coming from all around him.

"Qingyu," Pei Yubai lowered his voice, "My arm is not healed yet, it's inconvenient..."

Zhou Qingyu glared at him unhappily, "Useless guy!"

At this moment, Pei Hanli knelt in front of Zhou Qingyu. His camouflage pants were stained with mud, but he was not bothered at all and took out a pair of brand new sneakers.

"Miss, your boots are dirty. Change them. These are camouflage sneakers from M. Do you think they are okay?"

She didn't need to wear military boots on the way back, and the camouflage series of sports shoes matched the camouflage uniform Zhou Qingyu was wearing. More importantly, these shoes were new products from M, Zhou Qingyu's own product, so she certainly had no reason to refuse.

"Please help me change!" Zhou Qingyu stretched out her legs.

She shot a lot of guns today, and the recoil hurt her shoulders. She looked energetic, but in fact her bones were almost falling apart. She didn't even have the strength to bend, so how could she have the strength to wipe the mud off the soles of her shoes?

But the eldest daughter is a germaphobe and she would feel very uncomfortable walking on shoes covered in mud.

Pei Hanli's lips curled up. Although he was doing the most humble thing, his eyes were full of excitement. He took off Zhou Qingyu's military boots, held her white and delicate feet, his fingers trembling, and his breathing heavy.

There were people around, so Pei Hanli didn't stare at the feet for too long. He helped Zhou Qingyu put on his shoes carefully.

Beside her, Yan Xi took a breath of cold air.

Why did she feel that there was a hint of secret satisfaction in Pei Hanli's smiling eyes?

"Tong, Pei Hanli is not a foot fetishist or a masochist, right?"

System: [……]

[Not really, he is a villain! ]

After changing into sports shoes, the guests took a helicopter back to the Royal Hotel's hot spring villa. Yan Xi and Zhou Qingyu both took a comfortable hot bath before heading to a restaurant next to Lake Wakatipu for dinner.

The restaurant was chosen by Pei Hanli and serves Western food.

There was a wide variety of delicious food on the table, including charcoal grilled lamb chops, grilled pork chops, vegetable salad, seafood platter, etc.

——After all, since we can’t eat the wild boars and wild goats we hunt, it’s nice to have something as a substitute.

After a tiring day, Zhou Qingyu was really hungry. Although Yan Xi was slacking off, she had poor physical strength and was also hungry after hiking for a whole day.

The two of them feasted for a long time before they felt full.

Suddenly, Pei Hanli's laughter came from the side.

Pei Hanli was looking at his phone, Zhou Qingyu asked him, "What are you laughing at?"

"There is a vote online to select the most popular and least popular guest on the variety show 'Travel'. The most popular one is Ye Luoyi, and the least popular one is you."

After listening to this, Zhou Qingyu frowned.

Pei Hanli added, "Now that the show is coming to an end, the bloggers have launched another vote. This time, the most popular guest is you, and the least popular is Ye Luoyi."

Zhou Qingyu smiled brightly, "This time the fans still have good taste!"

Pei Hanli also laughed and said, "I wonder what my precious little brother will think when he sees this vote."

As he spoke, Pei Hanli raised his eyes and glanced at Pei Yubai who was standing next to the PD.

Pei Yubai remained silent, took out his cell phone, contacted Sun Qi and asked him to delete the vote on the Internet.

Pei Hanli retracted his gaze and poured Zhou Qingyu a glass of red wine. "Ye Luoyi's current situation has her own reasons and the company's reasons, so it's not surprising that she wants to leave Tianhui."

Zhou Qingyu and Yan Xi were both shocked.

They knew that Ye Luoyi's fans were making trouble and wanted Ye Luoyi and Pei Yubai to terminate their contract, but in their opinion, this was just fans making trouble, and once Tianhui issued a statement and knelt down to apologize, the matter would be over.

Does Ye Luoyi really want to leave Tianhui?

It's impossible. Yan Xi knew very well that in Ye Luoyi's eyes, Pei Yubai loved her so much. Tianhui had the support of Pei Group, so even though its stock price had fallen recently, it was only a matter of time before it recovered.

Pei Hanli...you are trying to sow discord!

He said this deliberately to make Pei Yubai worry and have no time to care about Zhou Qingyu. Instead, he would go to find Ye Luoyi. This way, he would have a chance to get closer to Zhou Qingyu!

A cunning villain!

Yan Xi pouted unhappily.

Zhou Yanci obviously thought of this as well, and glanced at Pei Hanli coldly.

Only Zhou Qingyu, who had no idea that this was Pei Hanli's plan, was still curious, "If Ye Luoyi leaves Tianhui, where can she go? With her current popularity, it will be difficult for her to sign an A-level contract."

"She can come to Xingyao," Yan Xi agreed with Pei Hanli for the first time.

Zhou Qingyu couldn't believe it, "You want to sign Ye Luoyi?"

Yan Xi blinked her eyes and said, "Ye Luoyi is quite popular and has good acting skills, so it's not impossible!"

Zhou Qingyu:?

Yan Xi continued to persuade her, "Look, Ye Luoyi used to have many advertisements for Zhou's products, which means we have used our resources to train her until now. If she leaves Tianhui and we take over, we will also make money! Why not?"

Zhou Qingyu's mind was full of question marks, but looking at Yan Xi's determined expression, she always felt that Yan Xi had other plans, so she could only nod in confusion.

In the live broadcast room, the audience was blown away——

【What the hell! What the hell! 】

[Ye Luoyi wants to sign a contract with Xingyao? 】

[No! I don't like Ye Luoyi... Miss, please don't be with her! ]

[I always feel that things are not simple, Xingyao is going to do something big! 】

Pei Yubai had been standing next to the PD, so of course he heard the conversation between Yan Xi and the others. He also knew about the news online that Ye Luoyi's fans had urged her to leave Tianhui.

But does Ye Luoyi really want to leave him?

Pei Yubai suddenly felt a pain in his heart. He didn't care whether Zhou Qingyu loved him or not, nor did he care if Zhou Qingyu was intimate with others, but if Ye Luoyi also wanted to leave him... No! He couldn't accept this result!

——

In the evening, Zhou Qingyu and Yan Xi went to Gibbston Valley.

The aurora can be seen in Queen City. Director Yu said that the probability of seeing the aurora tonight is very high, so the two of them came to try their luck.

Arriving at Gibbston Valley, two groups of guests from Lubeiyu and Yeluyi were also there. They had arrived an hour ago, and now they had pitched their tents, bought sleeping bags, and were waiting for the aurora.

Pei Yubai also prepared a tent and sleeping bag for Zhou Qingyue, but when he was setting them up, he was absent-minded and kept glancing at Ye Luoyi.

This quickly made Zhou Qingyu lose interest. After a while, Pei Hanli and Zhou Yanci also came. The two did not buy a tent, but directly rented an RV. Zhou Qingyu did not care about Pei Yubai's tent, and took Yan Xi to Pei Hanli's RV to wait for the aurora.

It was extremely cold outside and the sky was dark. It was even colder inside the tent. Su Lingling could hardly bear it.

Lu Beiyu suggested, "Why don't we go back to the car!"

In Queen City, it is more convenient to drive yourself, so they rented two off-road vehicles and could go back to the car to enjoy the heating.

Ye Luo glanced at Pei Yubai in the tent next to him reluctantly and nodded.

The three of them packed their luggage and headed back to the SUV. Yan Xi came to Ye Luoyi with a document.

"Teacher Ye, can we chat for a minute?"

[Wow! Is Yan Xi going to talk to Ye Luoyi about terminating the contract? ]

[I thought Yan Xi was just talking casually, but she really wants to sign a contract with Ye Luoyi? ]

[Honestly, isn't it disgusting? ]

[I feel disgusted, so weird! ]

Yan Xi turned off the little bee and said, "It's a private matter."

Ye Luoyi then locked up the little bee and went to a deserted corner with Yan Xi.

Yan Xi secretly opened the document, and on it was a photo of Ye Luoyi.

"Teacher Ye, please give me an autograph~!"

Ye Luoyi: ???

She froze, her eyes alert.

What is her relationship with Yan Xi? Why would Yan Xi ask her for an autograph? But in order to maintain her own image, Ye Luoyi signed for Yan Xi.

When signing, Ye Luo leaned close to Yan Xi and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I watched your live broadcast. Xingyao wants to sign me? Yan Xi, are you kidding me?"

Su Lingling did help Ye Luoyi contact several brokerage companies, but Xingyao was out of the question.

"So, Teacher Ye, are you willing to come to Xingyao?" Yan Xi asked with a wry smile.

Ye Luoyi paused. Xingyao has been very strong recently. With the support of Zhou Group, it has abundant resources and has invested in many promising projects.

But she and Zhou Qingyu are sworn enemies, fighting each other since their debut. If she joins Xingyao, she will be inferior to Zhou Qingyu, and she will have to call Zhou Qingyu boss in the future. How can she accept this? There are so many brokerage companies in the entertainment industry, and she is not desperate, so how can she go to Xingyao?

"I'm fine staying in Tianhui."

Yan Xi guessed the answer, and after seeing Ye Luoyi finish signing, she took back the document.

"Then I won't bother Teacher Ye. I hope we can all see the aurora tonight~"

After saying that, Yan Xi left the open space.

Ye Luoyi still didn't understand Yan Xi's intention, but it was just a signature, so it wasn't a big problem.

She did not notice that Pei Yubai was standing behind a big tree not far from the open space. He witnessed the scene and his face turned pale.

He knew what the document was.

When Yan Xi was in the restaurant, she asked the program organization to print out a document for her. It was an artist agency contract. Party A was Xingyao and Party B was Ye Luoyi!

Just now, Yan Xi deliberately pinched the little bee, took Ye Luoyi to a deserted place, and asked Ye Luoyi to sign a contract. Wasn’t that the contract they signed?

Ye Luoyi...actually wanted to leave him!

Pei Yubai was so angry that he went crazy.

As soon as Yan Xi left, Pei Yubai rushed forward and held Ye Luoyi's hand tightly.

"Yiyi! Why did you leave me?"

Ye Luoyi was confused, "Pei Yubai, what are you talking about?"

"What did you and Yan Xi sign? Do you think I don't know? Isn't it the agency contract between you and Xingyao? Yiyi, am I not good to you? Why do you want to leave Tianhui!"

In a flash, Ye Luoyi understood.

No wonder Yan Xi asked her for an autograph. Did she want Pei Yubai to misunderstand her?

Ye Luoyi tried to remain calm and said, "Pei Yubai, calm down. My agency contract with Tianhui hasn't ended yet. How could I sign with another company?"

"Don't think I don't know. Su Lingling has already helped you contact a lot of brokerage companies, such as Huyu and Infinity... I didn't expect Xingyao to be one of them! Ye Luoyi, do you really want to leave me?"

"I said I didn't!"

Pei Yubai held Ye Luoyi's hand tightly, pinching her until her fair skin turned bright red.

"Yiyi, stop lying to me!"

Ye Luoyi couldn't stand it any longer. She looked at Pei Yubai, "Pei Yubai, have you never lied to me? You keep saying that you like me, but you act like a licker to Zhou Qingyu. Who do you think I am?"

Pei Yubai was startled, his eyes were in a panic, "I approached Zhou Qingyu only for Zhou's resources. Didn't you say you understood me before?"

"Understand? I don't understand!" Ye Luoyi roared and broke away from Pei Yubai's hand. "You are the second young master of Pei's family. You are not without money. Why do you have to keep an eye on Zhou's resources? Even without Zhou's, you will succeed, just a little slower! I don't mind, I can wait!"

"But now, I really can't stand it for a day! Pei Yubai, make a decision, either choose me or choose Zhou Qingyu, you can only choose one!"

Pei Yubai stared at Ye Luoyi in a daze. He was very upset and anxious. Why were all these people forcing him to make a choice? If he was the second young master of the Pei family, he certainly wouldn't care about that, but he wasn't! He had to fight, he had to rely on Zhou Qingyu, his time was very limited!

Ye Luoyi...why don't you understand?

Pei Yubai closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his gaze had changed, and his voice was like a dead sea without life, "Yiyi, weren't you wavering between me and Qin Li in the past? I didn't say anything, why did you force me?"

Ye Luoyi widened her eyes, "Qin Li and I have nothing!"

Pei Yubai stepped forward forcefully and handcuffed Ye Luoyi's hands. His eyes were filled with lust, a desire for possession and devouring. Little by little, his rationality was drowned by madness.

"Do you think I don't have any feelings? The way Qin Li looks at you is the same as the way I look at you! But you never refused! And the first time you participated in a TV series, you auditioned for the second female lead, why did you become the first female lead after the filming started? Why did you go to the director's house the night before the filming started? Do you think I don't know?"

"And your first variety show. A third-tier female star actually got to be on an S-tier slow variety show. You and the producer looked at each other in ambiguous ways. Do you think I don't understand?"

"Yiyi, you can have so many men, why can't you be more tolerant to me? All my women are just for fun, but I am sincere to you!"

Ye Luoyi's pupils trembled and her shoulders were shaking.

She thought Pei Yubai didn't know, but she didn't expect that he knew it better than anyone else.

And he knew it, but he didn't say a word.

But is she really wrong?

She took advantage of her looks and gender, but she didn't sell her body. She just provided emotional value to those men, and the resources were given to her by them, just like Pei Yubai was willing to give her resources. What's wrong with her!

How could she be as despicable as Pei Yubai, willing to be Zhou Qingyu's lapdog?

Ye Luoyi gritted her teeth and struggled to break away from Pei Yubai, "Let me go, I'm different from you, Pei Yubai, you make me feel scary, don't pester me!"

"Yiyi, don't leave me, don't leave me..."

Pei Yubai was about to go crazy and kissed Ye Luoyi regardless of the consequences.

The intimacy in the struggle was no longer as sweet as before, but it moved Pei Yubai even more. He hugged Ye Luoyi tighter, almost rubbing her into his flesh and blood. Even in such a cold wilderness, he wanted to eat her and possess her at all costs.

Ye Luoyi was confused.

Crazy, Pei Yubai is really crazy!

Yan Xi did all this just to make Pei Yubai crazy?

If it was the first time she met Yan Xi, Ye Luoyi would still have this idea, but Yan Xi is now the VP of Xingyao, and Zhou Qingyu has become the chairman of M Company. Ye Luoyi certainly would not look down on Yan Xi.

Suddenly, Ye Luoyi saw a reflection.

Her nerves were tense. She wanted to struggle away from Pei Yubai but couldn't, so she bit Pei Yubai's tongue hard!

A strong smell of blood filled his mouth. Pei Yubai grimaced in pain, but he finally came to his senses and let go of his hand.

Ye Luoyi hurriedly broke away from Pei Yubai and ran to the reflected light. The darkness blurred everything, but as long as she got closer, she could see the pitch-black camera on the bare branch of the poplar tree.

At the same time, everything on the open space was transmitted to the live broadcast room——

[I was wondering why the production crew suddenly turned on such a camera. It's so exciting! ]

[Ye Luoyi actually has so many men? She looks innocent, but I didn't expect she's a sea king! ]

[When Pei Yubai broke the news, Ye Luoyi didn't deny it! It seems to be true! I didn't expect that Ye Luoyi would be attracted to many men, and Qin Li was her favorite! ]

[Pei Yubai also relies on women. These two are not good men and women! ]

[And Ye Luoyi and Pei Yubai are both in a relationship. The blogger's analysis was a hammer to the bone. They even kissed like that! ]

[This variety show should be renamed "Let's Travel Together" or "Let's Explode the Melon Together"! ]

The network speed is very fast.

Moreover, the camera of the program crew was very high definition, and everything about Ye Luoyi and Pei Yubai, and everything they said, was transmitted to the live broadcast room.

Ye Luoyi's legs went limp and he fell to the ground.

It's over. It's all over.

At this moment, Ye Luo no longer cared about his personality or his dignity. He grabbed the rubble on the ground and smashed it hard at the camera lens!

Netizens only saw a huge rock hitting the screen, and then everything went black.

The stone fell to the ground, Ye Luoyi loosened his grip, and all the strength in his body was drained.

Pei Yubai stumbled over and was also confused when he saw the camera. "Yiyi, I, it's not that I don't know... I thought there were no cameras here, I didn't say those words on purpose..."

The forced kiss can be blamed on Pei Yubai.

Changing the contract to a new company can also be explained.

Even if Ye Luoyi forced Pei Yubai to choose between the two, it only proved that the speculation on the Internet about the relationship between the three was correct.

However, Pei Yubai's revelations about Ye Luo relying on men to get to the top dealt a fatal blow to Ye Luoyi.

That was the cruelest blow.

…

Not long after, Zhou Qingyu and the others came over.

Obviously, what just happened here is known not only to netizens but also to Zhou Qingyu.

Zhou Qingyu clapped her hands softly, "I didn't see the aurora, but I did see a good show. Pei Yubai, it turns out that you were just playing around with me. You are very honest with other women!"

Pei Yubai's face was gloomy. "Zhou Qingyu, you have no feelings for me anymore. You asked me to come to the variety show just to humiliate me, right?"

Zhou Qingyu looked at Pei Yubai who was in a daze, and tilted her head slightly, "No, I wanted to give you a chance."

"You're talking nonsense!" Pei Yubai roared, "You're ordering me around like a dog. Do you call me a chance?"

Zhou Qingyu looked at Pei Yubai. Her smile was cold, as if she was mocking Pei Yubai, and also as if she was mocking herself.

On the plane leaving Country H, Zhou Qingyu had a dream. She dreamed that her past self begged her pitifully, asking her to be nicer to Pei Yubai.

So when Zhou Qingyu woke up, she didn't reject Pei Yubai right away. She also wanted to give him a chance to experience the same excitement she had experienced two years ago.

But what did Pei Yubai do?

"Pei Yubai, you said I didn't give you a chance, but are you sincere to me?"

Pei Yubai froze.

Zhou Qingyu continued, "The crab meat buns you bought, are they from the time-honored brand at the entrance of Haida University? I asked you to massage my calves, is that an insult? And I asked you to come to Queen City to be my travel consultant, but which of the things you did made me happy?"

"Do you think I am humiliating you? Am I broke or penniless? Can't I find a runner to buy me some crab meat baskets, or a travel consultant to help me solve my travel problems? I can solve all these problems. I'm giving you a chance to show your abilities. Isn't this an opportunity?"

"You think these are humiliating because you don't have me in your heart. If it was Ye Luoyi who asked you to do these, would you still feel humiliated?"

The night wind from Gibbston Valley blew in, rustling the tree branches and chilling people's hearts.

The last question Zhou Qingyu asked Pei Yubai made Pei Yubai realize clearly that, yes, he was willing to buy a crab meat cage for Ye Luoyi, because she wanted to eat it and he wanted to make her happy; he was also willing to massage Ye Luoyi's calves, which was obviously a hobby between men and women; as for arranging a trip, that was nothing, he and Ye Luoyi had traveled together before, and he arranged it in an orderly manner.

It is because of lack of love that one feels it is a humiliation.

Pei Yubai closed his eyes in despair, maybe what Zhou Qingyu said was indeed an opportunity, but there was no possibility between them anymore.

There was no point in staying on the show. At this moment, his relationship with Zhou Qingyu was completely over.

Pei Yubai turned around, got into the rented SUV, and drove back to the villa.

Ye Luoyi didn't record either. The PDs around her all left. She sat in the SUV and Su Lingling was comforting her.

But what’s the use of comfort now?

Ye Luoyi didn't dare go online. She could imagine how netizens would scold her.

Pei Yubai's words were ambiguous, but they were enough to cause netizens to misunderstand. Two years of hard work turned into nothing after this variety show.

Ye Luoyi couldn't stop shaking and tears flowed down.

There was a knock on the door and Yan Xi was standing outside.

Su Lingling pointed at her angrily, "How dare you come here! You were the one who messed with the camera, right? Yan Xi, you're going too far!"

"I just set up the camera, did I say those words?" Yan Xi asked Su Lingling.

Su Lingling choked, "Anyway, you are the instigator!"

"I want to talk to Ye Luoyi."

"You wish—"

"Lingling, let her come up." Ye Luoyi suddenly said.

She also wanted to quit the variety show, but at this moment, Ye Luoyi suddenly wanted to listen to what Yan Xi would say.

Su Lingling got off the SUV and joined Lu Beiyu and Yaozu. In the SUV, there were only Ye Luoyi and Yan Xi.

"You're not here to apologize to me, are you?" Ye Luoyi asked Yan Xi.

Yan Xi said calmly, "I don't think I am ashamed of you."

Ye Luoyi said angrily, "I admit that I treated you badly during the first episode, but didn't you fight back? I didn't do anything in this episode, why did you treat me like this!"

Yan Xi looked at Ye Luoyi with amusement, "When Qin Li hired someone to spread rumors that I had faked my academic qualifications, it was you who did it, right?"

Ye Luoyi retorted, "I didn't ask him to do this!"

"But you must have misled him, acted aggrieved in front of him, and indirectly told Qin Li that you were wronged."

Ye Luoyi was silent. She was complaining, but she was just complaining. What was that? It was Qin Li who did the bad thing, not her!

Yan Xi laughed, her voice full of sarcasm, "Ye Luoyi, you never do it yourself, but you are pitiful, wronged, and innocent. You let those men do it for you and sacrifice for you. Your hands are clean, without a drop of blood..."

"They did it willingly, can you blame me?"

"So," Yan Xi opened her hands, "My hands are clean too. It was Pei Yubai who hurt you, not me."

Ye Luoyi choked.

"Ye Luoyi, I deliberately threw the human-shaped stand into the canyon. I wanted to prove that Pei Yubai is two-faced. He said he loves Qingqing, but he still loves you the most. You were dragged down because Pei Yubai can't forget you."

"And today, I just asked for your autograph and set up a camera. Did I force Pei Yubai to expose you? Did I make your popularity plummet?"

"Haven't you discovered it yet?" Yan Xi held Ye Luoyi's shoulders, her tone becoming heavy, "From the moment you knew Pei Yubai and Qingqing were engaged, you should have left him, but you didn't want to. You didn't draw a clear line in the first place, so your popularity will continue to fall!"

"Think about it again. When your popularity plummeted, which one was not implicated by Pei Yubai? How dare you still have fantasies about a man who hurt you several times?"

Ye Luoyi's heart was touched.

She understood every word Yan Xi said, but people are unwilling to leave their comfort zone or face the unbearable things.

It was also because Ye Luoyi was unwilling to admit his mistakes in front of Yan Xi.

"Don't try to provoke us. I will never believe you—"

Yan Xi interrupted her, "Have you ever thought about why Pei Yubai, the second young master of the Pei family, needs Zhou's resources?"

Ye Luoyi looked at Yan Xi suddenly.

At the same time, the system warned: [Host, you learned about the illegitimate child in advance after you woke up to the plot. There is currently no clue to support this information. You cannot tell Ye Luoyi! ]

[If you leak the plot, the characters will be killed! ]

Ye Luoyi looked at Yan Xi with a sharp gaze, "Why?"

Yan Xi smiled, "I don't know why, but I heard from Pei Hanli that he got 3% of Pei's shares after he became an adult, while Pei Yubai only got 1%. They are brothers, with the same father and mother, so why are they treated differently? It's so strange!"

Yan Xi did not reveal any information.

But Ye Luoyi's eyes were wide open, and a seed of doubt had already been planted in her heart.
