Chapter 29

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ever since Lu Mingxiu returned from Beijing University, Feng Xuanmo, who had long been used to the dark and treacherous atmosphere around him, felt a little uncomfortable. Seeing that Lu Mingxiu had finished his call, he finally couldn’t hold back and asked, “That’s strange. Why don’t I see Su Qian? Didn’t she go back to Dijing Manor with you?”

Lu Mingxiu looked up at Feng Xuanmo and said, “Why? Do you miss her?”

His gaze was calm, but Feng Xuanmo shuddered and subconsciously gulped.

“No, I don’t.”

He didn’t know what had happened on the way to school, but he knew that it was best not to mention that girl at this time.

…

Su Qian stayed in the apartment for four days straight and didn’t leave the house. She only felt her head grow heavy as if she had many dreams.

She dreamed that she was kneeling in the snow and was forced to drink poison, almost dying.

She dreamed that her grandfather had brought a girl back to replace her identity and name. She had to bear the disdainful and gloating gazes of everyone in the Su family. Those gazes made her unable to hide and she could not escape.

She dreamed that she was confined for a whole month because she failed to achieve her grandfather’s goal.

When she came out of the confinement room, she saw a boy who was also brought back by her grandfather.

She thought that the other party was not from the Su family and would not make her life so miserable, but she did not expect that he was the culprit who pushed her into an even more desperate abyss.

…

She dreamed that she was walking on a narrow street, facing the setting sun, walking step by step. She was a lonely hero with no way back, but she could only walk toward the end without looking back…

She didn’t know how much time had passed, but she felt that the dark aura had annihilated her until she was completely annihilated.

At this moment, her phone rang, and she picked it up subconsciously.

“Hello.”

Because of the alcohol and the fact that she was still in bed, her voice was a little hoarse at the moment, but it was surprisingly a little seductive. Su Mu, who was about to get angry, felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on her, as her anger disappeared without a trace. But, her tone was a little indifferent.

“I sent you so many messages yesterday, but you didn’t reply to a single one.”

When she heard Su Mu’s voice, she quickly got up from the sofa and accidentally touched the empty bottles on the ground. The empty bottles hit each other and immediately made asound. Su Mu could tell that it was the sound of bottles.

“You’re drinking?”

“I did drink a few bottles, but I’m already awake.” Su Qian rubbed her temples.

Su Mu rolled her eyes in exasperation. “Do you remember that today is the first day of the variety show’s recording? Are you sure you can go out into the wilderness with a hangover?”

When she heard that today was the first day of the program’s recording, the chaos in Su Qian’s mind immediately disappeared.

“What time does it start?”

“Ten o’clock,” Su Mu said slowly, “It’s already half past eight. You have an hour and a half to get to the scene.”

“That’s sufficient.”

After hanging up, she immediately went to the bathroom to wash up. With the cold water on her face, the confusion in her gaze gradually began to fade and was replaced with clarity.

No matter what, she could only walk this path alone.

As the variety show was outdoors, she had specially chosen loose-fitting clothes.

With a ponytail and casual clothes, she rushed to the recording studio. Su Mu was stunned when she saw Su Qian.

Even if she did not dress up, she should at least put on some makeup.

“Qian Qian, today is a live broadcast. I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to be without makeup.”

She didn’t seem to mind. “I’m recording a show with a group of men today. It’s not like I’m walking the red carpet. I don’t need to put on makeup. Besides, I’m already beautiful enough without makeup.”

Su Mu was speechless.

If it were anyone else who said this, she would definitely refute her narcissism. But Su Qian spoke naturally, because she was speaking the truth.

“Forget it. We’ll do our best during the live broadcast later. If we really can’t do it, we’ll quit. Safety first.”

At this moment, Su Qian finally realized what was wrong. Su Mu was talking about a live broadcast, not a recording.

“What’s going on? Why did it suddenly become a live broadcast?”

Su Mu explained helplessly, “I sent you a message a few days ago. Did you not see it? The production team changed their minds at the last minute. A live broadcast app took advantage of the topic and traffic at that time and sponsored the variety show.”

Not to mention that the male guests this time were quite skilled. Song Yixiu might be the most popular idol singer of the new generation, but he was also a former National Karate champion.

As for Gu Qi, he was from a family that was famous for three generations. It was said that he had received tough training since he was young, and his skills were first-class. As for Shen Ci, Xi Feng, and Ning Yang, their skills could not be compared to the other two, but they were still considered martial arts students and were more than enough compared to ordinary people.

The production team agreed to work with the live broadcast app.

“But don’t worry, there are bodyguards protecting the production team secretly, so there shouldn’t be any life-threatening danger.”

However, the only thing that made her a little unhappy was that the production team had opened a personal donation channel.

A rose was ten yuan, a gem was a thousand Yuan, and a castle was ten thousand yuan.

Whoever had more fans would be ranked at the top.

Was the production team trying to compare whose fans were richer?

The first place would definitely be Song Yixiu. This was without a doubt. She had never thought that she would be first, but her Qian Qian should not be at the bottom, right?

She was a little uncertain.

If they were ranked at the bottom, they would probably be mocked for a few months.

Before the show officially started, the person in charge let the guests get to know each other.

Other than Song Yixiu, the others all had different expressions when they saw Su Qian.

Gu Qi took advantage of his family’s wealth and power and came to the entertainment industry for fun. He had always looked down on everyone.

As for Su Qian, even though he didn’t know her personally, he had often heard her female colleagues complain about her, so he naturally disliked her.

He twirled his Swiss army knife and said with disdain, “Aren’t you a little white rabbit that has accidentally entered the world of wolves by participating in this variety show? Don’t be so scared that you’ll pee your pants!”

The variety show was shot in the forest in front of them. A sign showed that everyone was prohibited from entering the forest, which was surrounded by wire mesh and was half-man-made, so no one knew what wild animals were hiding in the forest.

Su Qian looked at him indifferently, “A piece of advice for you, don’t be so scared till you pee your pants.”

“You little-!”

His family spoiled him, and he had a smooth life in the entertainment industry. No one had ever dared to disobey him.

He almost lost his temper, but in the end, Ning Meng came forward to stop them.

“Please calm down. It’s fate that we’re able to be guests together. There’s no need to be so unhappy.”

He looked at Gu Qi and said gently, “Young Master Gu, don’t be so petty with a girl.”

Ning Yang was the oldest of the six of them, and he was a very upright person. He had a good reputation in the entertainment industry, and Gu Qi had given him face.

He turned to the side, snorted coldly, and ignored Su Qian.

However, it was impossible for him to apologize.

Ning Yang had never expected Gu Qi to apologize, and now that he wasn’t going to argue with him anymore, he could finally heave a sigh of relief.

He walked over to Su Qian and said gently,

“Miss Su, Gu Qi is just spoiled by his family. Don’t take it to heart. Although this variety event is called ‘Outdoor Survival Challenge’, the production team will definitely ensure our safety. At most, they will just prank us a little. You don’t have to be too nervous.”

Su Qian glanced at Ning Yang and nodded.
