Chapter 468: Chapter 466 A Genius of His Time_1

Sheng Lin looked at the porridge in her hands, knowing full well that Zheng Pianpian was not truly concerned about her; it was all an act.

However, in front of the cameras, she still put on a grateful smile and said thanks, "Thank you, Pianpian."

As she spoke, she took it.

"Don’t mention it, we’re all friends," Zheng Pianpian said with a lip-smacking smile that looked utterly sincere.

Sheng Lin: "..." Even better at acting than I am!

Xia Ningxing meanwhile crossed her arms, the corners of her full lips tilted up in a slight smirk—such acting talent wasted if not utilized in showbiz!

At night, when the production crew stopped filming, they would return the phones to everyone.

As soon as Xia Ningxing turned on her phone, she hurriedly checked to see if there were any messages from Lu Tingli.

But... there were still none...

He was probably still fixing "Starfish 1."

As usual, after sending him a good night text, Xia Ningxing looked over her other messages.

Among them, Lu Fan had called her several times.

Xia Ningxing narrowed her eyes; it seemed she had already anticipated something and directly dialed back.

"You want to talk to me about Song Ze and Sheng Lin, right?"

"That’s right," Lu Fan nodded.

Xia Ningxing asked, "How are the fans feeling?"

"Don’t worry, the fans are still looking forward to it. I’m afraid this has something to do with the couple they played in ’Flourishing Dynasty Empress.’"

If the leads in a show are too sweet together, the audience and fans can’t help but wish for their real-life relationship to mirror that of their characters, maintaining the on-screen sweetness.

"That’s good," Xia Ningxing had guessed that them going public with their relationship wouldn’t impact their careers, but she still worried a bit.

Now, it didn’t matter if they broke the last barrier.

Lu Fan then continued, "I just called the program team a while ago. Tomorrow, you’ll be going to the cornfield to pick corn. I’ve already asked the team to pair those two up together, so remember to make sure their interactions are sweet, throw the couple fans some sugar."

"Sure," Xia Ningxing responded.

"It’s late, get some sleep," Lu Fan added.

"Yeah, you too."

After saying goodnight, Xia Ningxing hung up.

The next day, the program team announced that everyone was to go to the cornfield to harvest corn.

But how to harvest?

First, they had to chop down the corn stalks, then break off the corn.

"Finally a simple task!" Sheng Lin couldn’t help but complain quietly to Song Ze.

Song Ze had a face full of tenderness.

Then, the director continued with the rules, "Now let’s use drawing lots to divide into three teams, then each team will compete to pick corn. The team that picks the most won’t get a reward, but the team that picks the least has to clean the latrines!"

Xia Ningxing and others: "..."

Playing like this?

The first place doesn’t even get a reward?

[OMG! Making celebrities clean latrines, is that really appropriate?]

[Oh my horse, this production team really knows how to play!]

[This variety show is too painful right?]

[I feel so sorry for our Baby Xing, I hope Baby Xing definitely isn’t the last one.]

[Baby Xing definitely won’t be!]

After drawing lots, everyone found their partner.

Song Ze and Sheng Lin were paired together.

Xia Ningxing and Elder Zhou.

Ji Haichuan and Zheng Pianpian.

Seeing this outcome, Zheng Pianpian could not hide her glee.

Ji Haichuan was strong and capable; he would definitely do great work, and their team would surely take first place.

And Xia Ningxing with Elder Zhou, a man nearly buried in dirt, they would certainly be the last!

By then, she could just sit back and wait for Xia Ningxing to clean the toilets!

Zheng Pianpian couldn’t help but secretly curve her lips upwards, and after she put away her scheming thoughts, she walked towards Ji Haichuan.

"Ji, it’s a pleasure working with you."

As Zheng Pianpian approached him, she eagerly extended her hand to him.

"Hmm," Ji Haichuan responded, only extending his hand for a quick shake in front of the camera.

Zheng Pianpian was completely oblivious to his coldness and still thought about securing first place.

The cornfield.

Lush green corn stalks were laden with vigorous ears of corn — when the wind blew, the leaves gently swayed, looking incredibly pleasing to the eye!

"This corn has grown really well, fat and plump like chubby little kids!" Elder Zhou couldn’t help but laugh heartily.

Scenes of harvest always seem to spontaneously foster hope for life in people’s hearts.

Xia Ningxing also had a smile on her face: "Indeed."

"Ladies and gentlemen, please be careful with the sickles in your hands, the competition officially starts now!" the director ordered.

Xia Ningxing glanced at Elder Zhou: "Mr. Zhou, let’s go for it!"

"Let’s go for it."

After encouraging each other, the old and the young began to harvest the corn, back and front.

Sheng Lin also looked up, her face rosy as she looked at Song Ze: "Song, let’s go, we can’t be the last ones. I really don’t want to clean the latrine!"

Song Ze had a gentle expression: "Don’t worry, we won’t be. And even if we are, I’ll never let you clean it."

Sheng Lin’s face turned even redder, and after giving him a coquettish glare, she dashed into the cornfield first.

[Oh my goodness, so sweet!]

[My mom asked me why my tongue was licking the TV, I told her it’s because it’s sweet!]

[Haha, that brother licking the TV is crazy!]

[Hahaha, dying of laughter!]

[Once in a generation talent!]

Seeing her leave, Song Ze immediately followed suit.

Soon after, Ji Haichuan and Zheng Pianpian also entered the cornfield.

Zheng Pianpian was set on winning first place, so she harvested very quickly.

Before long, she had surpassed everyone.

Zheng Pianpian turned her head and saw that Xia Ningxing and Elder Zhou were actually the last ones. She immediately felt a surge of dark pleasure.

This time, Xia Ningxing was definitely going to clean the latrine!

Just thinking about Xia Ningxing, a delicate heiress, condescending to do such dirty work, Zheng Pianpian couldn’t help but feel a twisted sense of exhilaration deep down.

But on the surface, she hypocritically cheered them on:

"Xia, Mr. Zhou, you guys need to work harder!"

Xia Ningxing and Elder Zhou nodded: "We will try to catch up with you guys."

After that, Zheng Pianpian no longer paid attention to them and continued harvesting corn.

Ji Haichuan couldn’t help but give her a look, his long eyes slightly squinting, as if he had thought of something, discovered something, then a few strands of unusual light flickered in his eyes.

There was a large rock in front of Zheng Pianpian.

But she didn’t notice it.

If it weren’t for the previous incident with ’murder by pig’, Ji Haichuan wouldn’t be so mean, but who let her hurt Xia Ningxing!

He had no intention of reminding her.

So...

"Ah!"

Zheng Pianpian suddenly tripped and fell, and the sickle even cut her hand.

Blood immediately gushed out eagerly.

"Are you all right?" Seeing this, Ji Haichuan quickly bent down and pulled her up.

Zheng Pianpian, in pain, took a sharp breath but pretended to be strong and shook her head: "I’m fine, I’m fine."

Ji Haichuan nodded: "If you’re fine, then let’s continue cutting the corn, otherwise being the last would be bad."
