When the countdown ended, the director blew the whistle, and the celebrities who had not finished packing quickly zipped up their suitcases and gathered in front of the mountain road.
The director looked at the suitcases in their hands and motioned for them to set off without saying a word.
Then everyone stepped on the weeds and walked forward.
The mountain roads here were not easy to walk. Not only were there a lot of weeds, but there were also a lot of small stones. It was not easy to carry the suitcase on this dirt road.
Therefore, within half an hour, impatient expressions appeared on people’s faces one after another.
“How long will it take?”
“Why haven’t we arrived yet?”
“How long have we been walking?”
Ling Qing looked at the watch on his wrist and said calmly, “25 minutes.”
Everyone looked up and saw him put his hands in his pockets and carry his suitcase with one hand, walking steadily without any signs of irritation.
Wasn’t he tired? Everyone was puzzled.
An hour later, they discovered that he was really not tired!
“I can’t walk anymore.” Ding Lanzhi was the first to wail, “How long will it take?”
Ling Qing looked at his watch, “It’s one hour and six minutes before we arrive.”
Everyone couldn’t believe it. One hour. How many hours did the director say it would take to enter the mountain?
Everyone looked at each other, shocked.
Suddenly, Ding Lanzhi walked up to Ling Qing and said to him, “Xiao Ling, can we exchange our luggage?”
She looked at Ling Qing’s small suitcase and said in a gentle voice, “My suitcase is too heavy. The road is not easy to walk, and it needs someone to carry it most of the time. I can’t carry it anymore. Let’s exchange the suitcases.”
Ling Qing took a look at her suitcase. It was champagne colored and very big.
He tentatively lifted it up and said in surprise, “What are you packing? It’s so heavy.”
“Just ordinary clothes, even a boy like you would feel heavy to carry them, let alone me.”
Ling Qing looked at her and felt that she brought such a heavy luggage, it was really interesting. The director said before that everyone would be responsible for their own luggage. He told them that the mountain road took an hour to walk, just to let them consider their own physical strength and give up unnecessary luggage.
In the end, she still carried such a big suitcase and wanted to find someone to help her carry it.
Hiking for hours was not easy, let alone carrying heavy weight.
What’s more, it was only 11:30, who knew what else would be waiting for them when they climbed up the mountain.
Besides…
Ling Qing glanced at the other four boys not far away.
He and Ding Lanzhi neither knew each other, nor had they spoken to each other yesterday.
Today he had been walking in front, and Ding Lanzhi was walking behind. It was easier for her to find anyone but hum, especially Chen Hongming, who had a great chat with her yesterday.
But she sacrificed the near and far away, surpassed everyone, and sent him the first request for help.
The reason for this could be guessed without even thinking about it. Was it not that she thought he was a newcomer and thus easy to bully.
Ling Qing looked at the champagne-colored suitcase in front of him and secretly had an idea in his heart.
I’ll give you a little bit of sweetness first, but later on, you’ll know the bitterness.
He did not refuse Ding Lanzhi in a hurry, but smiled and said, “Sister Ding, if you feel tired, of course I can help you, but this suitcase is a bit too heavy, and I definitely can’t carry it all the time. So wait a moment, if you want to rest, let’s change over first, and you can find other people to help later.”
Ding Lanzhi thought about it for a while. She had her own way to let Ling Qing continue to help her, and said, “Okay.”
Ling Qing acting like a sweet and silly guy who didn’t understand anything exchanged suitcases with her and carried them away.
Ding Lanzhi followed him, thinking that he was really easy to bully, that’s how newcomers were.
Chen Hongming also laughed when he saw this. He thought the other party had two brushes, but he didn’t expect that he would agree to help Ding Lanzhi carry the suitcase stupidly.
Yu Chen’s eyesight was really as good as being blind!
Fortunately, I ran away early, otherwise I would be dragged down sooner or later.
Ling Qing had no idea what Ding Lanzhi and Chen Hongming were thinking behind him.
But he didn’t need to know, he could guess it.
Rats had short-sighted eyes and sat in a well to look at the sky. Like paramecium, they were single-celled organisms.
He helped Ding Lanzhi carry the suitcase for half an hour without much effort until they were about to go up the steps. Halfway up the stairs, he handed the suitcase to Ding Lanzhi.
“Sister Ding, I need to take a rest. Let’s change back first.”
Ding Lanzhi was reluctant, “How long has it been? Xiao Ling, please help me carry it for a while.”
Ling Qing waved his hands deliberately and pretended to be tired: “Sister Ding, your suitcase is indeed a bit heavy. We are going up the stairs just now. I really need to take a rest first.”
“I know you have worked hard, Xiao Ling, but there is nothing I can do about it.”
Ling Qing pretended to be innocent. He then looked at her and said, “Sister Ding, you can also ask others to help you first.”
He was like a newcomer who had just entered the entertainment industry and didn’t know anything. He said innocently and brightly, “Just like you just asked me for help, I believe everyone will be very happy to help!”
Ding Lanzhi: …
Ding Lanzhi was silent.
There were ten guests in the show, five men and five women. Naturally, she couldn’t ask girls for help, so she could only ask boys.
But looking at it, Su Shu was the most famous and popular in the whole line-up. His mother, sister, girlfriend, and fans were the three pillars of the whole family, and they were completely protective of their cub! If she dared to ask Su Shu to help her carry the suitcase, Su Shu’s fans would dare to tear her into shredded cabbage on forums and Weibo.
Chen Hongming was less popular than Su Shu, but he had crazy girlfriend fans. They would tear up any actress who came near Chen Hongming. If she dared to go to Chen Hongming, Chen Hongming’s fans could also tear her apart.
The remaining Ji Boming and Qi Jiaxu were almost as popular as her, but they both had too much to take care of themselves, so they could still not help her.
It seemed that only Ling Qing could do it.
It was just…
Ding Lanzhi looked at Ling Qing. She didn’t expect that Ling Qing would directly tell her to find someone else.
She had already thought of her words, but Ling Qing told her to find someone else first.
He also spoke very naturally and sincerely, as if he was really helping her find a solution.
If she insisted on asking Ling Qing to help her at this time, Ling Qing would definitely be unwilling, and the audience would inevitably think that she was bullying Ling Qing.
Ding Lanzhi felt that this was not possible, but she didn’t want to mention it herself, so she had to remain silent.
Ling Qing secretly laughed in his heart and thought to himself, what are you going to do now?
He had far more thoughts than Ding Lanzhi. Ding Lanzhi had asked him for help before, but there was still such a long way to go. She couldn’t go all the way, so she could only find someone else to help.
But who to look for?
If she came to find him again, all he had to do was pretend to be surprised and ask her why she didn’t go find someone else, and netizens would see the fishiness in this.
If she didn’t find him, and found someone else, the other party would only be bored with her, and the other party’s fans would also hate her.
No matter what she did, she would be hated.
Ling Qing was in a happy mood and was about to take his suitcase and leave when he saw Chen Hongming coming over.
“Why don’t you leave?” Chen Hongming asked.
“Nothing.” Ding Lanzhi said.
Chen Hongming glanced at Ding Lanzhi, then looked at Ling Qing, and said deliberately, “Is the suitcase too heavy? The same goes for you, Xiao Ling. You are a boy. What’s wrong with helping Sister Ding carry the suitcase for a while? Why are you so squeamish? Isn’t Sister Ding your senior?”
Ling Qing almost laughed when he heard this.
The heads that come to your door will not be satisfied until they are cut off!
Ling Bai, watch out. I will show you what a real white lotus is today.
Your acting skills that can make people see the bad intentions of a bitch at a glance are simply weak. The real white lotus is someone who without letting others know, gets the approval of others.
He looked at Chen Hongming with a pure face, and his words revealed innocence, as pure as the snow in the north and the water in the south.
“No, Brother Chen. I was just too tired and wanted to rest. Sister Ding didn’t know who she should go to for help, so we stopped. You just happened to come here. Sister Ding, you don’t have to think about it now. Brother Chen will definitely be willing to help you.”
He smiled innocently, with some trust and admiration. “After all, Brother Chen just blamed me when he didn’t know the truth and thought I was unwilling to help.”
Chen Hongming:????
No, what was this direction? Why should he help Ding Langzhi? He didn’t want to help Ding Lanzhi carry the suitcase, okay?!
Ding Lanzhi was also confused. She didn’t dare to ask Chen Hongming to help her carry the suitcase, okay?
Ling Qing didn’t care how dog-eat-dog they were, Ding Lanzhi would feel uncomfortable whether Chen Hongming mentioned it or not.
Don’t mention it, if she did it herself, she wouldn’t feel comfortable.
She was frightened if she mentioned it. She might even be scolded afterwards, which made her uncomfortable.
As for Chen Hongming, the same was true.
After mentioning it, Chen Hongming was probably feeling uncomfortable physically and mentally.
Not to mention, with his help in front of him and the words he just blamed himself behind, if he still dared not do it, Chen Hongming’s negative fans would be the first to jump out and post negative comments.
Ling Qing was very satisfied with killing two birds with one stone. He took his suitcase and said to the two people with unkind expressions, “Let’s go, we are all behind.”
After saying that, he chased after them with a bright face and brisk steps.
Behind him, Chen Hongming and Ding Lanzhi looked at each other with difficulty.
Both of them had a barrage in their hearts at the same time: Regret, the feeling now is regret.
Chen Hongming regretted why he said so much and why he deliberately came over. Didn’t he come here just to see Ling Qing’s jokes? Why did he have to carry the suitcase for such a pretentious thing!
Ding Lanzhi regretted why she had to bring so many things and ask Ling Qing to help her. Now, Chen Hongming’s crazy girlfriend fans might scold her!
At the end of the matter, Chen Hongming still helped Ding Lanzhi carry the suitcase. He had no choice but to slap himself in the face immediately after saying such things.
He exchanged his suitcase for Ding Langzhi.
When Ding Lanzhi mentioned it, she almost cried, “I can’t lift it.”
It was true that it couldn’t be lifted at all, and it didn’t contain a trace of lie.
Chen Hongming: …
Chen Hongming had no choice but to hold a suitcase in each hand and use all his strength to go up the steps. As he walked, he mentally scolded Ding Lanzhi for being a fool.
Ding Lanzhi was also frightened and asked after him, “Xiao Chen, are you tired? If you can’t lift it, give it to me.”
Of course Chen Hongming was tired, but the words he just taught Ling Qing still rang in her ears.
No matter how stupid he was, he still knew that he had to save face.
If he just let it go, doesn’t that mean he was not willing to help Ding Lanzhi? Wouldn’t that be a slap in the face?
Chen Hongming cursed Ding Lanzhi a few more times in his heart! Pretentious! Things are pressing! What the hell are you doing with such a big suitcase if you can’t lift it!
But after all, his physical strength was average. By the time he finished climbing the stairs, he was extremely tired.
Ding Lanzhi quickly took the suitcase and said thank you to him.
Chen Hongming was too tired to manage his expression, so he said with a bad expression, “It’s okay.”
But his expression didn’t look like it was okay.
Ding Lanzhi was inexplicably worried about what would happen after the broadcast.
