While Ling Qing was watching, he noticed another person coming in, a girl.
She didn’t look too old, in her 20s, with a ponytail and airy bangs, seeming a bit timid.
Seeing that Ling Qing noticed her, she bent her eyes and smiled at him, then sat down next to Ling Qing.
“Hello.” The girl whispered.
“Hello.” Ling Qing replied.
“You’re Ling Qing, right? My name is Qi Tanghua, and they all call me Tangtang.”
“Oh.” Ling Qing nodded, “It’s a good name.”
Qi Tanghua smiled and turned to look at the people gathered together not far away. Then she asked, “Why are they all gathered there? Should we go there too.”
Ling Qing: …
Ling Qing thought this question was difficult to answer.
At the very least, Chen Hongming definitely didn’t want him to go there.
“You can go over and have a look.” Ling Qing said, “I won’t go. Chen Hongming probably doesn’t want me to go there.”
Qi Tanghua then remembered that in the information she had read before coming, Ling Qing did seem to have some grudges with Chen Hongming.
She felt a little embarrassed and had to laugh again.
Ling Qing didn’t care, it was nothing, so he smiled back at her.
Qi Tanghua was a bit introverted by nature. Seeing that the other party was crowded and seemed to be having a pleasant conversation, she didn’t dare to rush over there, so she didn’t move.
“Then I won’t go there yet.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Qing heard footsteps before he could reply.
——The director and assistant director came in with their assistants.
The room fell silent for a moment.
The director looked at the completely uneven distribution of seats and asked Chen Hongming and the others to move forward and sit in the front.
He then asked his assistant to wake up Su Shu.
As a result, the assistant yelled a few times and pushed Su Shu slightly. And in the next second, Su Shu suddenly raised his head and smashed his sunglasses out.
“Get out!”
The whole place turned silent.
The assistant was so frightened that he couldn’t even breathe.
Ling Qing looked at his face that was a little red from sleeping. He had a beautiful face, but he was too temperamental.
The director spoke in silence, “Su Shu, it’s time to discuss the variety show process. We can’t all wait for you to wake up.”
Su Shu slowly woke up.
He calmed down for a while, rubbed his face with his hands, and whispered: “Sorry, I just didn’t wake up. So I was a little angry when I got up.”
“It’s okay.”
The director breathed a sigh of relief and asked his assistant to pick up his sunglasses. Then he just started to explain the process of recording tomorrow’s variety show.
The content of the variety show was actually very simple. Ten people, five men and five women, would all go into the mountains tomorrow.
Agents and assistants were not allowed, and mobile phones were not allowed. Everyone had to live in the mountains for three days and complete the assigned tasks.
During these three days, the program team would provide food, but it would not be distributed directly to the stars. Instead, they needed to compete or find ways to get it from obstacles set by the program team.
You could act alone or cooperate for a win-win situation. The program team did not stipulate this.
“It’s just that I would like to suggest that you all work together. Firstly, with more interactions, highlights will easily appear and the audience will like it; secondly, it will be easier.”
“Okay.” Chen Hongming responded.
The director continued to give some other instructions, discussed some precautions with everyone, and set a departure time for tomorrow morning before the meeting ended.
Everyone stood up and walked to their rooms.
Chen Hongming was still very popular, and several people were following him, planning to have a late-night snack with him.
Chen Hongming was very proud and looked at Ling Qing with even more disdain.
It was a pity that Ling Qing didn’t have eyes on the back of his head, otherwise he might be able to laugh.
Ling Qing went back to the room, told Yun He about the arrangements of the program team, took a shower, and lay on the bed.
He was actually not very sleepy. At this point, he would usually be with Yu Chen.
So Ling Qing took out his mobile phone and made a video call to Yu Chen.
Yu Chen had obviously finished his work. He had changed into pajamas and seemed to be reading a book.
“Are you ready to sleep?” Ling Qing asked him.
“No, I was waiting for your call.” Yu Chen said.
Ling Qing sat up, “We just finished a meeting and will go into the mountains tomorrow, so after tomorrow, you may lose contact with me for a few days.”
“Can’t bring your mobile phone?” Yu Chen asked.
“Mobile phones are not allowed to be used during the recording.”
Yu Chen frowned, “What a violation of the rules. You are not allowed to use mobile phones during the recording of a program. It is not humane at all.”
“To increase the excitement.” Ling Qing explained, “Mobile phones have everything in the world, so for the sake of fun and contrast, we have to give up our mobile phones.”
Yu Chen was still not satisfied, but there was nothing he could do if he was not satisfied with this kind of thing, so he could only warn, “Then you be careful and tell me when you get the phone.”
“I understand.”
“Chen Hongming didn’t bother you, did he?” He suddenly remembered.
“Not yet.”
“If he gives you trouble, remember to tell me.”
Ling Qing smiled, “Is he someone worth telling you about? I can blow his head off myself.”
Yu Chen laughed, “Then if you can’t solve it, tell me.”
“You’re underestimating me. If I can solve you, how can’t I solve him?”
Yu Chen couldn’t help but laugh, “I’m yours now, how else do you want to solve me?”
Ling Qing smiled. “What do you think?”
“I can’t think of it.”
Ling Qing said with a smile, “Of course I want you to suffer for love.”
Yu Chen: …
Yu Chen felt that he was really evil-minded.
He smiled helplessly, “You…”
Ling Qing looked at him, triumphantly.
Yu Chen looked at his proud expression and said nothing more.
He was always willing to make Ling Qing happy. If Ling Qing was happy, he would be happy too.
“Come back early,” he said. “If you hadn’t been out of town now, I would have driven over to find you.”
“You missed me?”
“What else?” Yu Chen said.
Ling Qing looked at his affectionate eyes, and his heart softened, and he couldn’t help but want to go back.
The other person was clearly in front of him, but he still wanted to get closer, close enough to touch him and hold him.
“I miss you too.” Ling Qing said.
Although he missed Yu Chen a little later than Yu Chen, he also followed Yu Chen’s footsteps.
While Yu Chen missed him, he also missed Yu Chen.
This could be considered an improvement.
The two of them became quiet inexplicably, and just looked at each other quietly, with obvious smiles on their faces.
In the end, Yu Chen was defeated and said with a smile, “Don’t look at me like this, otherwise I won’t be able to sleep tonight.”
Ling Qing chuckled.
“Go to bed,” Yu Chen said. “You have to get up early tomorrow. Get a good rest. I’ll pick you up when you come back.”
“Then you go to bed early.”
“Okay.”
Ling Qing hung up the video call and lay back on the bed.
He looked at the ceiling above his head, and inexplicably thought of a poem he had learned a long time ago: Looking at each other without hearing each other, I hope that the moonlight will shine on you.
Ling Qing raised his hand, looked at the little goldfish on his wrist, and then kissed it gently.
Early the next morning, the actors and program staff who would be participating in the recording set off together to the mountains.
Unlike City X, the temperature here was warmer, so everyone had changed into lighter clothes.
Ling Qing wore a sweatshirt. Considering that he had to do a mission, he did not choose a light color, but chose a black sweatshirt, which made his skin look fairer, making him look very young.
Just like a college student who hadn’t graduated yet.
He carried a mountaineering bag, pulled another suitcase, and got on the bus.
Because Qi Tanghua was relatively short, she had some difficulty putting the bag up, so Ling Qing reached out to help her put the bag up.
The other actresses saw it and asked him to help them as well.
Ling Qing didn’t refuse and put them all up.
Some people thanked him, some didn’t, and Ling Qing didn’t even care and sat back down again.
The bus drove for two or three hours before reaching the mountains where they were going to record the show.
This recording started from entering the mountains.
However, when she got out of the car, the female stars were shocked when they looked at the overgrown road in front of them.
“There is no road here.”
“This is the road.” The director in charge of checking the spot explained, “The villagers here go up the mountain from here.”
“But I am wearing high heels.” Ding Lanzhi pointed to her shoes.
“Me too.” Wang Yue said.
The director was very calm, “I told you before we came here that everyone should wear sneakers, and I also sent you an email.”
Seeing that only Ding Lanzhi and Wang Yue were wearing high heels, he said, “If you have brought sneakers, you can go to the bus to change and then come back.”
Ding Lanzhi and Wang Yue immediately turned back complaining, changed their shoes, and returned to the mountain road to start recording again.
Su Shu glanced at them, still looking unhappy, and whispered, “Trouble.”
Ling Qing looked at him and felt that he seemed unhappy every day. He looked unhappy yesterday as well, and he looked unhappy today too.
It was like being mindlessly unhappy.
Seeing that they were ready, the director said formally, “Our trip to the mountain this time will probably take an hour. During this period, everyone is responsible for their own luggage, or you can find other guests to take care of it for you. So now everyone has twenty minutes to choose the luggage you want to bring. If you want to give up your luggage on the way into the mountain, then you can’t.”
Everyone was surprised.
The director smiled and said, “The timer starts now.”
Ling Qing only brought a small suitcase and a mountaineering bag. The mountaineering bag contained some food and first aid supplies, and the small suitcase contained his clothes and daily necessities.
He was a star, and it was impossible for him to wear the same clothes all the time while staying in the mountains for three days. Besides, Ling Qing weighed it and found that it was indeed quite light.
Therefore, he was very calm and even had the leisure to look at the other people who were busy.
When the director saw other people packing their luggage in a hurry, while he was the only one who stood calmly, he simply sat down beside him and asked doubtfully, “Don’t you need to pack?”
“I’ll bring both of these.” Ling Qing pointed to the bag and suitcase next to him.
Came prepared, the director thought, quite prepared for a rainy day.
Chen Hongming saw Ling Qing sitting contentedly, and he wasn’t as busy as he was, the breeze was blowing on the hills, he was busy as can be, and Chen Hongming secretly wondered what Ling Qing had brought.
He looked at Ling Qing’s small luggage and hiking bag and felt that he must have brought a lot.
Then he couldn’t bring too little, otherwise if he didn’t bring something he needed, he would be outclassed by Ling Qing.
Chen Hongming packed a large suitcase and came out, and others also packed a large suitcase and came out one after another.
Only Su Shu and Qi Tanghua’s luggage was smaller.
Su Shu had a medium-sized suitcase, while Qi Tanghua and Ling Qing were similar, with a small suitcase and a backpack.
