Chapter 172 – Sharing a cabin with the female lead (1)
Zhong Yuhuan couldn’t share what she truly felt in front of the camera, so she docilely laid her head on Li Jinyuan’s shoulder.
Ah well, guess she’d just be scolded by the fans after season 1.
Sooner or later, they would find out that she was his sister. Then nobody would scold her anymore.
Just when Zhong Yuhuan was about to close her eyes, Huo Chengming suddenly said, without even looking back, “You will catch a cold if you sleep like that.”
He stepped on the brake and brought the car to a step before he quickly released the seat belt, took his jacket off, and tossed it over to Zhong Yuhuan. “Sleep with this on.”
Zhong Yuhuan: “……”
Both Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming have done this before. They grew up together and were used to being affectionate with each other. Naturally, nobody thought twice about a gesture like that.
But Zhong Yuhuan, inevitably, gave this more thought under the scrutiny of the camera.
She licked her lower lip and grabbed the jacket. She could also see all the comments flying through the screen when season 1 went on air. What would they call her? Flirtatious or shameless?
As Zhong Yuhuan was thinking about all sorts of crazy things in her head, she held onto the jacket, closed her eyes, and dozed off.
Ge Mei, sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and took a look. She had been in the entertainment circle for many years, was sensitive, and had a very high EQ. She immediately noticed the unusual air inside the car.
After travelling for a little while, the car went onto a somewhat bumpy road. As they were getting farther and farther away from the city and into the countryside, quite a few mopeds and tricycles had passed them by. They drove for another 10 or so minutes before they finally came to a stop.
Everybody looked outside and saw a patch of banana trees before they spotted the buildings for the homestays where they would be staying.
Zhong Yuhuan opened up her eyes groggily and looked outside. The passengers from the car ahead of them had already gotten out.
Zhong Yuhuan gave Li Jinyuan a push and said, “Let’s get out.”
Li Jinyuan nodded and opened up the car door.
Everybody gathered around quickly.
Yin Qiqi said, Big sister Yuhan, why did you arrange for us to stay here for the next two days?”
Li Jinyuan interjected, “The first place we stay at was arranged by the production team.”
Yin Qiqi shut her mouth right away.
Zhong Yuhuan said in a low voice, “Let me go check with the owner and make sure this is the right place.”
“I’ll go with you,” said Li Jinyuan immediately.
“Me too,” said Huo Chengming without missing a beat.
“I’ll go with you. It’s helpful to try to figure something out if there’s communication issues,” said Wen Yongchen with a smile.
Zhong Yuhuan couldn’t help but said, “We really don’t need that many people to…”
“Then let’s all go inside together,” said Gu Yuling with a smile.
“Sure.” Ge Mei nodded.
Gu Yuling even took the opportunity to flatter her. “I recall that Gu Mei-jie’s English is very good.”
“Right. Ge Mei-jie’s last role needed to speak English. She did that part herself without needing dubbing,” said Wen Yongchen.
Having said that, everybody went inside together.
When the owner to the place showed up, everybody was dumbfounded. The owner didn’t speak English at all, at most, he spoke some Italian with a very heavy Thai accent. After some struggling and gesturing, the owner had given up and switched to all Thai.
That’s when Zhong Yuhuan finally chimed in and spoke to him in Thai.
“Yuhuan can speak Thai?” said Ge Mei, surprised.
Zhong Yuhuan nodded and said, “When I came here by myself before, I stayed for quite a few days and learned some Thai from the locals.”
