Chapter 42 part 1

This chapter is for 13aroness. Thank you so much for supporting me in Kofi. (2/5)

Jiang Feng had no idea that the production team intentionally manipulated things behind the scenes, putting Xia Shutong and Zhou Hanchi in the same group. She thought it was because Xia Shutong wasn’t grouped with Yun Feiwu, so in a fit of anger, she tore up the draw-paper in front of the director.

However, during Xia Shutong’s second draw, she still didn’t draw Yun Feiwu. Jiang Feng instinctively felt that this time, Xia Shutong wanted to tear apart something other than the draw-paper — she wanted to tear her apart.

Moreover, after discovering Xia Shutong and Yun Feiwu’s “little” secret, Jiang Feng does her best to avoid Xia Shutong, afraid of accidentally exposing something and getting silenced by her.

Of course, she didn’t want to be in the same group as Xia Shutong this time.

As the camera turned towards them, Jiang Feng was holding onto Xi Ao’s arm, and her legs were trembling like a sieve.

Anyone with clear eyes could see how terrified she was of Xia Shutong.

Zhou Hanchi was the first to speak up, “Director Wang, your grouping method might not be entirely fair.”

“With six people divided into three groups, Ah Chao and I, the two men, are in one group, and the other four ladies are split into two groups. Alternatively, Ah Chao and I can team up with one lady each, leaving two ladies without a team.” Zhou Hanchi’s smile remained gentle and non-confrontational. “Physiologically speaking, in most cases, men are generally more suitable for physically demanding tasks compared to women. And since most of your show’s tasks are physically demanding, this grouping method seems a bit unfair.”

The director scratched his head. “So, President Xia and President Zhou, what do you think?”

“Men in one group, women in another,” Xia Shutong said calmly, “Our two groups will compete against each other.”

Zhou Hanchi nodded in agreement, expressing his approval in the same gentle manner.

After some discussion, the production team quickly agreed to their proposed method.

With the grouping process concluded, the day’s shooting was considered complete. A few of them started packing their belongings and moving into their respective rooms. Although the rooms didn’t have cameras, the cameraman followed them in to capture the guests’ initial reactions upon entering.

Inside the room, there were two wooden beds neatly made with fresh sheets. There was a small cabinet beside each bed, but the room didn’t have a bathroom. The environment, although minimalist, had clearly been meticulously cleaned with no trace of dirt or disorderliness. The conditions were even better than the house Xia Shutong had once stayed in Yun City.

As the cameraman left, Xia Shutong and Yun Feiwu were the only ones left in the room, and the atmosphere instantly became enchanting.

Due to the constant presence of others around them, they hadn’t exchanged many words throughout the day. The closest they came to physical contact was the princess carry incident midway.

Even now, Xia Shutong blushed a bit when she recalled it.

She lowered her head, silently opening her suitcase when Yun Feiwu looked at her and asked, “Xiao Xia, what are you thinking about?”

In the dim light of the room, Yun Feiwu clearly noticed her blushing.

“N-nothing…” Xia Shutong licked her lips, casually searching for a topic. “Yun Feiwu, have you noticed that Jiang Feng seems unusually afraid of me? Even when we were in the ‘Chasing the Light’, she always avoided me. Am I that scary?”

Yun Feiwu chuckled lightly.

“Sister, are you scary?”

Yun Feiwu, who had been squatting down to pack the suitcase, now half-knelt on the ground, supporting herself with one hand as she leaned towards Xia Shutong.

Completely unguarded, Xia Shutong’s chin was lifted by Yun Feiwu at that moment.

Her crimson cheeks were fully exposed in Yun Feiwu’s line of sight.

The deep and ambiguous eyes, shining with evident playfulness, met with her gaze.

Feeling weak in the legs, Xia Shutong went from a crouching position to directly sitting on the ground.

Yun Feiwu’s knee slightly moved, shifting forward, and her fingers now gripped Xia Shutong’s chin. “Is this frightening?”

Xia Shutong placed her hands behind her and murmured an indistinct “Hmm” in response.

She couldn’t quite… remember what she was talking about with Yun Feiwu just now. She instinctively answered her without full comprehension.

Having already been tired all day, her mind was now becoming muddled. Xia Shutong decided to give up thinking and pitifully looked at Yun Feiwu, waiting for her next move.

As if receiving a signal, Yun Feiwu shifted forward once again.

Closer and closer.

Xia Shutong closed her eyes.

At that moment, a sudden knocking sound came from the door.

Everyone could support me in Kofi, for every 3 coffees an extra chapter would be released. Please don’t forget to mention the name of the novel you want to support, so that I won’t confuse it with the other novel I’m currently translating.
