Chapter 6: Chapter 006: Shen Yan Trending Again Due to Another Scandal? Chapter 6: Chapter 006: Shen Yan Trending Again Due to Another Scandal? Late at night.
On the still live stream, a few comments occasionally fluttered by.
They were from night owls on watch.
The show crew was faking everything else, but sleeping in tents at night was for real.
No matter what kind of top star you were, you had to follow the rules and go into the tent to rest.
Among the several live stream rooms, Shen Yan’s was the quietest.
Not many of her haters had the habit of staying up late.
The real fans of Shen Yan were not present yet.
“Ah!”
In the quiet live stream room, a sudden scream startled everyone!
Soon, noise came from a cluster of tents not far away.
The show crew staff ran towards the direction of the scream.
It was a sound coming from the direction of Liu Qiang’s tent.
[What happened, what happened!]
[I heard Qiangqiang’s voice.]
[Was there an incident?]
[What on earth happened, I’m dying to know.]
Next to Shen Yan, Wen Yan also crawled out of his tent.
He looked towards the source of the noise, “It seems like something happened at Liu Qiang’s site.”
Shen Yan had just come out when another loud scream came from not far away.
It was from Chu Jinghe’s direction.
The staff hurried over again, “What happened?”
The camera angle shifted, revealing Chu Jinghe hanging onto Mu Jincheng’s body.
Mu Jincheng held onto Chu Jinghe tightly, as if afraid she would fall.
[Oh my God! What did I just see!]
[I’ll toast to this sugar bowl first!]
[Raise the banner for the Jinjing couple!]
[The princess carry! So sweet it kills me!]
Mu Jincheng felt a bit excited inside.
When his beloved had thrown herself towards him, his heart beat a bit faster.
“There’s a centipede! It crawled past my foot…” Chu Jinghe’s voice trembled, her body shaking in Mu Jincheng’s embrace, clearly terrified.
“Centipedes, centipedes again!” Upon hearing this, the staff’s face changed several times.
These two were top stars invited by the show; it was a situation no one could afford.
All the floodlights were switched on.
The quiet woods instantly became bustling.
“Where’s the centipede, where is it!” Qin Dingyue’s excited voice came, instantly attracting Liu Qiang’s ire.
Liu Qiang was nearly scared to death while Qin Dingyue seemed to be basking in Schadenfreude.
“Qin Dingyue, can you shut up,” Liu Qiang said, thinking of the centipede crawling over her hand; the mere thought made her skin crawl, wishing she could chop off the affected hand.
It was too revolting.
If it weren’t for the cameras, Liu Qiang would have cried on the spot.
A centipede bite wasn’t just excruciatingly painful; it could be lethal on the spot.
She shuddered at the thought.
She regretted participating in this damned survival show.
Holding Chu Jinghe, Mu Jincheng commanded the staff with a grim expression, “We can’t sleep in the tents anymore, it’s too dangerous.”
“But…” the staff member hesitated, “Let me contact Director Li first.”
Such incidents had not occurred in the previous episodes.
Centipedes being nearby was no joke; the staff quickly contacted Director Li.
Director Li was sleeping soundly, but upon hearing there was an incident, he immediately got up.
“Jincheng, let me down first,” Chu Jinghe then realized she had been in Mu Jincheng’s arms this whole time; her cheeks flushed red as she whispered.
Reluctantly, Mu Jincheng let her down, “Can you stand?”
“Yes,” Chu Jinghe responded in a low voice, her head bowed.
Under the bright lights, Chu Jinghe’s blushing face was enchanting and caused Mu Jincheng to stare transfixed.
Chu Jinghe pursed her lips; she knew Mu Jincheng was watching her intently. Although her heart did not flutter awkwardly, she liked the feeling of being pursued by his gaze.
[Just got fed a big bowl of dog food late at night, I’m stuffed.]
[I always said Jinjing CP is real!]
[Guys, before we get carried away, let’s remember the show crew’s negligence. They chose such a dangerous place without fear of a fatality.]
[Right, and I suspect the show crew intentionally released venomous creatures for drama. The crew has no humanity…]
[Why is it all okay for Fake Princess while my beloved Jinghe is the one in trouble, it’s so unfair.]
Director Li’s face turned ugly when he heard about the centipede sighting.
If anything happened to them, the show’s team couldn’t afford the responsibility.
Director Li instructed everyone to vacate the area and spend the night in a safe location.
Yet Qin Dingyue thought this made things more exciting and refused to leave, “Director Li, I’m fine over here, don’t worry about me.”
Out of all the program’s participants, it was only Qin Dingyue who was taking the survival show seriously.
She was like this in the previous episode too.
Director Li wanted to dissuade her, but Qin Dingyue didn’t care and crawled back into her tent.
Shen Yan just glanced and followed her back in.
“I, I can’t sleep here anymore…” It was too terrifying.
Liu Qiang was the first to head towards the safe zone.
Zhou Jingming thought for a moment and then didn’t stay either.
Wen Yan saw Shen Yan returning to the tent, swallowed his saliva, and called out through the tent, “Aren’t you leaving?”
“This place is quite safe. I’ve scattered crushed herbs around the tent; snakes and bugs won’t dare to come near, so don’t worry.”
Wen Yan stammered, “Is, is that reliable?”
Shen Yan didn’t respond.
Wen Yan saw that the two guys, Mu Jincheng and Zhou Jingming, had left together, and figured he wouldn’t lose face by following them.
He immediately made up his mind and ran after them, “Wait for me.”
Shen Yan turned over and continued resting.
Xu Zishen walked a few steps outside but then followed back into the tent.
Director Li choked back the words he wanted to persuade with.
“Fake Princess, what are you even pretending for?”
“Clearly scared to death inside, still stubbornly refusing to leave.”
“Just watch, she’s definitely going to sneak off later.”
“I’ve decided to stay up all night just to see Fake Princess mess up!”
“+1”
“I really want to see how long she can last…”
Thus, a strange scene unfolded in Shen Yan’s live stream.
Those who left had shut down their live streams, and then fans from various streams, along with Shen Yan’s haters, all swarmed into her stream.
The chat was teeming with more and more messages.
Fans and haters engaged in a rather magical conversation in the chat, talking about everything under the sun!
As a result, Shen Yan lasted until dawn.
All the fans and haters, bearing panda eyes, went about their business—some to work, some to school, and some took leave…
After a night’s adjustment, last night’s scare was seen as a minor interlude.
However…
Director Ji brought over the incredible data from last night to find Director Li.
“Old Li, our ratings last night surged to an unbelievable level!”
Director Li’s eyes brightened, “Is it because Chu Jinghe made it onto the trending search due to the centipede incident?”
When Director Ji heard this, his expression turned odd as he replied, “Not Chu Jinghe, it’s Shen Yan!”
“What?”
Director Li quickly opened his phone, and there it was on the trending list—#Fake Princess’s Magical Live Stream Event#.
Shen Yan got blacklisted again?
No.
Strictly speaking, it wasn’t negative; it was a somewhat blackened fame that got her trending.
Once Director Li understood what had happened, his smile almost stretched to his ears.
In the past, Director Li’s variety shows were always slightly overshadowed by Director Du, who produced love-focused shows.
It turned out that bringing in the controversy-attracting Shen Yan was an extremely wise decision!
Thinking of Director Du’s gloomy face, Director Li felt so delighted he wanted to laugh out loud three times.
In the morning, as Shen Yan came out to tidy the tent, she felt something not quite right lingering about.
Wanting to check her phone to see what was going on, she remembered that to pursue a realistic survival live stream, the production team only provided them with a button phone for emergencies, without internet access.
The other guests had returned from their respective areas, and when Qin Dingyue crawled out and saw Shen Yan, she instantly gained respect for this new guest who had spent the night alone in that spot!
“Hello, I’m Qin Dingyue…”
Qin Dingyue approached with a smiling face to greet her.
Shen Yan touched her face, knowing her makeup hadn’t transformed her into a ghastly sight, yet wondered how these people couldn’t recognize her.
“I am Shen Yan.”
“Oh, hello Shen Yan…” Qin Dingyue suddenly froze her smile, staring blankly at Shen Yan with disbelief raising her voice, “You’re Shen Yan!”
The others approaching looked up sharply at Shen Yan.
In their eyes, astonishment was palpable!
The scene was somewhat comical.
