Chapter 69: Comments

Xia Xin said, “Sure, Mr. Lu, I’ll trouble you with that when the time comes. But things inside the zoo might still get damaged.”

Lu Yuan replied, “As long as we catch the troublemaker, those things don’t matter.”

Xia Xin felt that capturing this person was the most important thing now, so she had to recover and be ready to confront her adversary.

So Xia Xin messaged Jing MO again, [Mr. Jing, I have something going on recently. Can we schedule dinner next week?]

Jing MO was still reading the script. As soon as he heard the notification sound for the message, he picked up his phone. After reading the message, his eyebrows involuntarily furrowed for a moment. This micro-expression was coincidentally caught by Sun Hu.

Sun Hu looked at Jing MO with an amused expression and said, “To be honest, after knowing you for so many years, this is the first time I’ve seen a girl reject you.”

Then, Jing MO gave Sun Hu a cold glance.

Sun Hu shut up obediently but couldn’t resist continuing, “Apart from being slightly good-looking, what’s so special about Xia Xin that makes you care so much? The entertainment industry is full of good-looking people, and countless others are better-looking than Xia Xin. I’ve never seen you care about anyone like this before. What’s going on?”

Jing MO put down his phone and continued to read the script. However, he still answered Sun Hu’s question, “Actually, I’m not entirely sure if she’s the person I’m looking for. I had that idea after she saved someone during the first episode recording. I’ll let you know the details once I confirm.”

Sun Hu didn’t ask any more questions. He knew Jing MO had been searching for someone for a long time, but he never revealed what kind of person it was. Sun Hu understood that this topic was best left untouched.

This was the first time Jing MO had actively brought up the topic in so many years. Sun Hu thought that Xia Xin had a high likelihood of being the person he was looking for.

Xia Xin spent three whole days resting at home and didn’t go out. What puzzled her was that she could always hear footsteps outside her door. After Gu Fan had prepared a lot of food and put it in the fridge, enough for Xia Xin for three days, it couldn’t be food delivery.

The owner of those footsteps paced back and forth, as if deliberately marking time. Saying Xia Xin wasn’t scared was a lie, but fortunately, every time the footsteps sounded, Layle would position himself in front of her and stay there until the footsteps moved away.

For her own safety, Xia Xin didn’t leave her home for three days. What she didn’t anticipate was that after the second episode aired, one person was criticized and trended on social media because of her. That person was Wan Wan.

Although the production team tried their best to prevent videos of the accidents from spreading, many audience members recorded videos on-site. Therefore, the situation at the time was largely captured and uploaded online.

Netizens saw that MO Shu remained in the same spot by the collapsed cabin, waiting for Xia Xin to come out, while Wan Wan distanced herself and kept far away. Thus, the comments overwhelmingly criticized Wan Wan for being selfish and disregarding the safety of her companions.

The netizens also believed that even if Xia Xin wasn’t an actress, Wan Wan should have helped her. Instead, Wan Wan only cared about her own safety. After the show aired, netizens magnified Wan Wan’s moments of acting cute and accused her of overacting. When she acted affectionately towards Xia Xin, it seemed like they were close friends, but when something happened, she was the first to turn and walk away.

A video of Wan Wan rolling her eyes during a fan meeting event was also found by netizens. For a while, it seemed like the whole internet was criticizing Wan Wan. What made Wan Wan even angrier was that due to the comments, the production team decided not to invite her for the third episode. Instead, they replaced her with another team member who debuted with her and happened to be the one she disliked the most, Gao Xin.

However, Xia Xin was unaware of this matter because she used the three days of rest to thoroughly examine her newly upgraded system.

Xia Xin unexpectedly discovered that her Beast Language system now had a new passive skill with a calming effect. Although she didn’t know exactly how it would be useful, having an additional skill made her happy. This could serve as an extra card when dealing with the twisted person who harmed animals and her.

For the rest of the time, Xia Xin spent almost all of it sleeping, making up for the sleep she had missed over the past few days. She had no time to read online comments. However, Wan Wan attributed this incident to Xia Xin, who remained silent throughout..
