Chapter 15: Chapter 015: Regrouping Chapter 15: Chapter 015: Regrouping Perhaps it was because yesterday’s weighted trek turned out too embarrassingly, this morning, a immediate meeting was called by the program’s team.
Mu Jincheng crawled out of the tent and his gaze immediately darted in Shen Yan’s direction.
Bathed in the morning light, Shen Yan’s skin glowed with a dreamy luster. Under the warm light, he felt Shen Yan suddenly elevated!
Chu Jinghe, who had applied a no-makeup makeup look in the tent, came out and saw Mu Jincheng staring blankly in Shen Yan’s direction, a hint of darkness flickering in his eyes.
Following his gaze that landed on Shen Yan, Chu Jinghe took a sharp breath.
Suppressing the jealousy surging in her heart.
From the moment she saw Shen Yan’s true face, Chu Jinghe knew she could not outshine Shen Yan in terms of looks.
But she didn’t think she was inferior to Shen Yan.
Shen Yan had performed too outstandingly yesterday. Last night she checked the ratings on Weibo and all major apps.
She discovered that Shen Yan, who only had haters before, now had a true fan club.
And Shen Yan’s popularity with the general public was gradually improving.
From the moment Shen Yan saved Wen Yan by catching a fish, his brilliance could no longer be hidden.
It shouldn’t have been like this.
Yet, the data online couldn’t lie.
The sense of crisis that Shen Yan caused Chu Jinghe grew stronger.
“Ahem.”
Chu Jinghe pretended to cough.
Mu Jincheng immediately diverted his gaze, then startled by his own action.
What was he doing just now?
Could he actually find Shen Yan, standing in the morning light, charming?
The person he liked was Chu Jinghe, and the one he would protect in the future was also Chu Jinghe.
Definitely not Shen Yan with hidden agendas.
Mu Jincheng thought this must be an illusion intentionally created by Shen Yan.
Mu Jincheng’s expression slightly darkened.
Turning back to face Chu Jinghe, his expression softened.
Revealing a gentle smile, “You’re up!”
“Yeah,” Chu Jinghe replied with a reserved smile, “I wonder what kind of challenge Director Li will set for us today.”
Survival on a desert island had five episodes in total, each lasting five days.
They started filming on Wednesday.
By the time Shen Yan returned, they had already been filming for one day; counting yesterday, they would finish filming in three days.
Chu Jinghe’s gaze suddenly landed on Xu Zishen who was stretching nearby.
Sensing her gaze, Xu Zishen looked over and greeted Chu Jinghe with a slight nod and a smile.
Upon seeing this, Chu Jinghe walked over.
Qin Dingyue had applied makeup today as well. Her skin was still quite good, but since joining this show, she had tanned significantly.
Qin Dingyue had the kind of skin that easily tans but does not easily whiten again. Her manager was so anxious and had already scheduled a beauty treatment for her on Monday.
“Shen Yan!”
Qin Dingyue climbed out and immediately noticed Shen Yan standing there, bathed in the morning light.
Seeing her not interacting with Xu Zishen but instead running to Shen Yan, who attracted negative attention, her manager felt like smashing his phone!
She had missed the chance to get close to Xu Zishen last episode. Even after being reminded, she was still so careless, beyond saving.
In fact, besides Qin Dingyue, other participants were also reminded by their managers to cozy up to Xu Zishen.
After all, he was a rich heir from a certain province. It would always be beneficial to build a relationship with him.
Wen Yan, standing nearby, saw Qin Dingyue approach Shen Yan and rolled her eyes in bafflement.
Feeling that Qin Dingyue was particularly annoying, she got slightly irritated.
“Shen Yan! Your skin is really nice! Is it truly natural?” Qin Dingyue, perhaps not thinking clearly, reached out to touch Shen Yan’s face.
Upon contact, Qin Dingyue’s eyes widened.
“Your skin is really smooth!”
Shen Yan: “…”
How could such a frank girl survive in the entertainment industry?
Her manager must have played a big role.
“It’s really natural! I’m so envious of your naturally beautiful skin!” Qin Dingyue said with a frown, “Unlike me, who tans and can’t get back to being pale, it’s driving me crazy…”
Qin Dingyue stood beside Shen Yan and started complaining.
In front of the camera, her fans felt helpless.
Silly girl, not everyone can be complained to casually. Look at who’s standing in front of you.
Shen Yan looked at Qin Dingyue.
Qin Ding Yue apologized with a smile, “Did I talk too much?”
[Stupid girl, you finally know what you’re doing!]
[Facepalm, can’t watch this.]
[That’s not my girl.]
“I can make you a medicated ointment for your skincare concerns once we wrap up the episode.”
“What?”
Qin Ding Yue gazed at Shen Yan in shock.
She realized Shen Yan was serious.
“Are you, are you a medical student?”
Shen Yan shook her head, then nodded, “Half a medical student, I suppose.”
Before she turned fifteen, she truly followed the path of traditional medicine, but after that, her life underwent drastic changes.
At that base, she also learned a lot.
So, one could say she was half a medical student.
Qin Ding Yue suddenly became more interested. “Then how did you enter the entertainment industry? Don’t tell me it was because of Mu Jincheng, like the rumors say?”
Although Mu Jincheng is indeed handsome.
But Qin Ding Yue thought he was just okay.
Qin Ding Yue’s fans: “…”
If they were there in person, they’d really want to drag her away.
Should you ask such a direct question?
Grow some tact!
Shen Yan’s new fans were thrilled!
They also opened another gateway of understanding towards Shen Yan.
So Shen Yan had learned medicine too.
Truly surprising.
[Wuu~ I want the medicine too!]
[Yanyan, my skin is also dark, I need the ointment!]
[Pfft, Shen Yan’s lies are getting more outrageous.]
[Watching her spear fish and make fire from wood, doing farm work like a pro, I started wondering if Fake Princess comes from a rural area.]
[What’s wrong with being from a rural area? Can’t people from rural areas become stars? Are they eating your rice or sleeping in your beds?]
[Right, haters just like to make trouble, being skeptical and indignant without any reason.]
[My Yanyan’s looks and charisma, you city folks can’t even match a third.]
[Even if my Yanyan is from a rural area, I still like her! Haters, get lost.]
[Forget the haters, jealousy makes people ugly. Let’s cheer for Yanyan!]
A wave of “cheering” passes.
The haters grit their teeth, and start furiously typing on their keyboards.
“Guests, please gather in front here,” Director Li announced through a megaphone.
Here it comes!
Scheming Director Li is starting his performance again.
Qin Ding Yue cheerfully pulled Shen Yan’s hand, “Let’s head over!”
Shen Yan, still unaccustomed to such close contact, pulled her hand away.
Qin Ding Yue gave a silly laugh, somewhat goofy.
The fans couldn’t bear to watch anymore.
Director Li, looking innocently at several guests, said, “Today we are changing the rules.”
Changing the rules?
Everyone immediately tensed up.
Director Li was definitely up to something.
“Director Li, time is precious, let’s get started,” Xu Zishen was somewhat speechless.
Director Li, grinning like a fox, said, “I know you’ve all developed good rapport with each other since grouping up, but hey, we need to be fair, so we’ve decided to mix up the groups and redraw the teams!”
Mu Jincheng frowned slightly.
He was very opposed to this suggestion.
Who knows if he’d still be able to be in the same team as Chu Jinghe after the shuffle?
Qin Ding Yue excitedly exclaimed, “I want to be in the same team as Shen Yan!”
Director Li cleared his throat, “The ladies will draw lots to decide their male partners.”
Qin Ding Yue’s smile quickly disappeared, much to the delight of the fans.
Shen Yan didn’t mind who she teamed up with at all.
