Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 168 Recording Location

Chapter 168: Chapter 168 Recording Location

The guests had all taken their seats when Xiaowen appeared.

[Roar, all the guests have arrived, does this mean we’re officially starting?]

[I saw on the live broadcast earlier, fans surrounded the airport—it was terrifying!]

[Fortunately, the production team hired a lot of staff, just in case something unexpected happened—would’ve been serious trouble.]

[Let’s all watch rationally, guys. It’s great to love celebrities, but keep your distance and don’t disturb their lives and work.]

[By the way, where are we recording this episode?]

[Don’t rush, wait for Xiaowen to announce it.]

Xiaowen: "Hello guests, this is the recording site for the second episode of ’Mom’s Companion.’ I’m the head assistant of the production team. The plane is about to take off, and now I need to collect all of your electronic devices, including phones, tablets, and smartwatches."

Shen Yibo raised his hand and asked, "Aunt Xiaowen, are you not taking our snacks this time?"

The little guy asked this because during the recording of the first episode, all the snacks were taken away, so this time he only brought a very small portion of snacks with him.

He thought if Aunt Xiaowen didn’t take the snacks this time, he would be at a loss.

How regrettable!

Xiaowen chuckled, "Yes, I will take them. I’ll collect them after we get off the plane. Right now, I’m only taking your electronic devices."

"Oh, I only brought a little bit of snacks this time. I will give them all to you to keep after we get off the plane, Aunt Xiaowen!"

Xiaowen: "Good, Little Yibo is so well-behaved!"

[Aww, Little Yibo is such a cute, cuddly little guy!]

[So true, he’s always thinking about food in that little head of his, haha!]

[But still, where is this second episode being recorded? Why hasn’t it been mentioned?]

[What’s the hurry? Just keep watching, and you’ll find out.]

The guests were already familiar with the show’s process and cooperated by turning off and handing over their electronic devices.

When it came to Gu Xiaoran, he was still holding a tablet and watching cartoons.

Xiaowen smiled and said, "Ranran, you need to hand over your tablet temporarily to Auntie here. After a few days when the show is over, I’ll give it back to you, okay?"

The smile on Gu Xiaoran’s face stiffened. Looking up at Xiaowen with his head tilted back, he blinked without saying a word and turned off the tablet before handing it to Xiaowen.

He really didn’t want his tablet to be taken away, but he didn’t dare to lash out at Xiaowen.

After Xiaowen took the tablet away, Gu Xiaoran turned his head resentfully towards An Xi, "Why didn’t you tell me they were going to take away the tablet here?"

His grandmother only told him that he could go and have fun with An Xi and even appear on TV. She hadn’t mentioned anything about having his tablet taken away.

An Xi explained, "Son, this is a rule of the production team, I can’t do anything about it."

"Hmph!" Gu Xiaoran glared at An Xi and turned his head away in a huff, refusing to talk to her.

An Xi sighed helplessly.

[Looking at it, Gu Xiaoran only dares to bully An Xi.]

[Isn’t this the kind of kid who’s only fierce at home but super well-behaved outside?]

[Speaking of which, An Xi is his real mom, yet he’s so rude to her.]

[I guess it’s because Ranran is raised by his grandmother, that’s why he behaves like this.]

After Xiaowen had collected all the electronic devices, the production team’s live room was also closed, as the plane was about to take off.

She smiled at everyone and said, "Thank you all for your cooperation. Now I will announce the filming location for ’Mom’s Companion.’ The recording site for the second episode will be in Yangping Village, Yangping County."

"In two hours, our plane will arrive at Jincheng Airport."

Hearing ’Jincheng,’ Song Yuchen immediately became excited, "Mom, it’s Jincheng!"

"Yes, it’s Jincheng," Ye Zhenzhen replied with a smile, pinching the little one’s chubby hand.

Lin Qianqian added, "Yangping Village is quite a distance from Jincheng, in the mountains. It’s even more remote than Changle Village from the first episode."

Xu Wanjia asked, "I heard that Jincheng has cooled down these past few days, and the temperature is very low. Wouldn’t Yangping Village in the mountains be even colder?"

Lin Qianqian nodded, "Naturally it’s colder, at least 10 degrees lower than where we are."

"So it’s below zero, will it snow?" An Xi asked, somewhat excitedly.

She had grown up in the South and had never seen real heavy snowfall.

Although snow does fall in Jiangcheng, during the years she had lived there since her marriage, she had never seen a real heavy snow. Snow in Jiangcheng was light and melted away as soon as it fell.

"It’s actually quite easy to see snow in the mountains. We are going there for a week, and with some luck, we might see snow..."

Han Jiangxue felt a sinking feeling inside when she heard their discussion. With a pale face, she didn’t say a word.

...

The plane had already arrived at Jincheng Airport two hours later.

It was already late, 11 o’clock at night.

The little ones had all fallen asleep on the plane, and when they got off, there was a hint of reluctance on their little faces.

Yang Yike cried the most violently. She was the youngest and was not used to sleeping in unfamiliar environments. After Xu Wanjia held and comforted Xiao Yiyi for a while, the little one fell asleep again.

Aunt Xiaowen took everyone onto the bus that the show’s crew had arranged beforehand and told everyone, "Ladies and babies, we are now heading to a hotel. We will stay in Jincheng for the night and head to Yangping Village together tomorrow morning."

Everyone was satisfied with this arrangement and didn’t say much more.

The show crew didn’t start a live broadcast after everyone got off the plane; instead, they posted a notice on the show’s official Weibo.

The reason for this was mainly to avoid revealing the whereabouts of the guests, fearing that fans might follow and cause a negative impact.

After all, there had already been an incident at Jiangcheng Airport, and they had prepared a contingency plan early on.

Now that they were in a foreign place, it was naturally better to keep their movements confidential.

After everyone arrived at the hotel and were allocated their rooms, they were all exhausted and soon went to sleep.

Han Jiangxue was the only one who couldn’t sleep at all.

She had gone straight to the bus on the negative first-floor of the airport when she disembarked from the plane and had no idea what the temperature was like in Jincheng.

She was still wearing a cashmere coat and didn’t feel particularly cold.

It was only when the bus stopped at the hotel entrance and she got off that a strong chill overwhelmed her as if a mountain had been dumped on her.

She felt her bones ache with cold, as if she were undressed.

In Jiangcheng, the temperature was almost 10 degrees, but once in Jincheng, she truly felt a cold that was unbearable.

It wasn’t until she entered the hotel and saw the temperature displayed on the electronic screen that she realized the difference.

The nighttime temperature here had reached minus 2 degrees.

Thinking back to what Lin Qianqian and the others had said on the plane about Yangping Village being in the mountains and likely even colder, Han Jiangxue felt a deep sense of crisis.

All the clothes in her suitcase were for spring and autumn. If they were to start filming tomorrow, she would probably freeze to death on the spot.
