Chapter 98
Chapter 98
[I remember Ning Xi was already 168 cm when she debuted. I didn’t expect her to grow another four centimeters over these four years.]
[The Third Prince has grown taller again!]
The contents written on the profiles by the others were also being scrutinized by the viewers.
[Jiang Sheshe is actually 167 cm? During the Mud Pit Battle when everyone was wearing flats, she was half a head shorter than Ning Xi. I thought she was only 160 cm.]
[The male guests are all over 180 cm. This batch of female guests is really eating well.]
[But why are they suddenly filling out these profile forms? Could their height, weight, and the sports they’re good at be related to the upcoming filming?]
The netizens’ interest was piqued by this Danmaku.
Meanwhile, in the livestream, the guests had finished filling out their information.
Shen Yibai silently collected all the forms and handed them to Director Qin.
“Everyone is free to do as they wish tonight. Tomorrow morning at eight, all guests need to go to the largest nearby mall to purchase supplies. Team Leaders, remember to come to me early tomorrow to get your mission cards and shopping funds,” Director Qin announced.
Ning Xi looked directly at Fu Zhi. “You go get them tomorrow morning.”
Fu Zhi: “?”
Ning Xi: “Is there a problem?”
Fu Zhi: “…No.”
Ning Xi nodded in satisfaction.
The others glanced at Fu Zhi in surprise; after all, this young master rarely had such obedient moments.
Afterward, everyone returned to their respective houses.
Most of the guests went straight to rest after washing up, but Ning Xi and Xie Lanchen climbed onto the roof again to watch the stars.
As soon as they sat down, Xie Lanchen opened his hand and held out a bracelet in front of Ning Xi.
Ning Xi was shocked. “Xiao Xie, you actually have a bracelet exactly like mine!”
And it was a women’s style!
“…Is it possible that this is the bracelet you accidentally dropped on the ground just now, and I simply picked it up?”
“…Oh.”
Only then did Ning Xi realize her bracelet had gone missing at some point.
She coughed, feigning composure as she took the bracelet.
“As expected, my luck is great. Things I lose always find their way back to me.”
“Oh?”
Seeing that Xie Lanchen seemed interested, Ning Xi began telling him about the time she accidentally dropped her necklace into the ocean while out at sea in Hawaii.
To her surprise, when she went to the beach the next day, she actually found her necklace on the shore where they had stayed the day before.
“Do you understand? It was like the heavens knew how important that necklace was to me, so it was delivered right back to me. And during that period, my luck was truly off the charts. I never had to wait in line for restaurant reservations, and I even became the 100,000th customer and got a free meal…”
Xie Lanchen leaned back on his hands, a lazy smile playing on his lips.
She remembered it wrong; the necklace was lost on the beach.
It had just been buried in the sand, which led her to mistakenly believe she had lost it while out at sea.
Otherwise, no matter how many people he and Luo Ze hired, they wouldn’t have been able to find a lost necklace in the middle of the ocean.
As for the free meal at the restaurant, it was a plan he had come up with to make her happy after seeing her and Fu Zhi arguing about something again that day.
Because of that meal, Luo Ze had blackmailed him into buying him lunch for an entire month.
That was because the restaurant was owned by Luo Ze’s family.
But he had still been very happy.
“Xiao Xie, are you spacing out? You’re actually spacing out? Don’t tell me you don’t believe my luck is really that good?”
Seeing Xie Lanchen looking lost in thought, Ning Xi felt like grabbing his face to make him listen properly.
Even though the story sounded a bit far-fetched.
But maybe the heavens just saw how beautiful she was and decided to perform a miracle by bringing the necklace she lost at sea back to the beach.
She knew it. Someone with luck as good as hers would even make Xie Lanchen “jealous.”
Looking at Ning Xi’s expression, Xie Lanchen knew she had finished playing out another drama in her head.
He chuckled softly. “I was thinking that Teacher Ning’s luck will always be good in the future, because Teacher Ning is the most…”
“Beautiful? Kind? Charming?” Ning Xi narcissistically flipped her hair.
“She is the warmest person I know.”
Xie Lanchen looked up at the starry sky, his earlobes burning slightly.
He had said much more direct things before, yet for some reason, saying this still made him feel a bit bashful.
But Ning Xi was the first person to ever give him warmth.
This thought had been validated time and again during those days when he was like a rat in the shadows, lurking in the corners and peeking into her life.
She was a person of warmth, more radiant than the sun itself.
Meanwhile, he could only be the rat hiding in the corner.
Occasionally bathed in her light, he could stand under the sun, feeling cozy enough to continue a life that had otherwise become dull and meaningless.
“Huh? Warm?”
Ning Xi felt the heat of the summer night breeze, which was hovering around thirty degrees Celsius, and found it hard to believe.
“I don’t want to be a warm person. I want to be a person who comes with their own built-in air conditioning.”
Once Ning Xi the Human Chiller stepped onto the stage, the temperature would automatically drop by ten degrees!
Xie Lanchen could no longer hold back his smile. For the first time, he let out a laugh in front of Ning Xi.
[So sweet! It reminds me of the days before I became a toxic woman.]
[Is this my punishment for staying up late? (Silence)]
[Only watching the two of them together gives me this warm, healing, and relaxing feeling.]
[Tears are soaking my charging cable; I’m getting electrocuted while watching the stream.]
Just then, clusters of fireworks suddenly shot up into the sky.
They were colorful and magnificent.
“Wow!”
Ning Xi stood up, incredibly excited.
She knew her luck was good! It wasn’t even a holiday, yet she actually got to see fireworks in Ling Village!
“Wow…”
Xie Lanchen looked up, echoing Ning Xi’s exclamation.
However, he wasn’t looking at the fireworks, but at the profile of Ning Xi’s face.
“What’s with the ‘wow’? Stop acting like you don’t know who set these fireworks off.”
Not far away, Luo Ze watched his subordinates set off the fireworks while grumbling at Xie Lanchen and Ning Xi on the livestream screen.
He was, after all, a Young Master with billions in family assets to inherit, content to just idle his life away. Yet, when he was with Xie Lanchen, he was either spending the whole night scouring the beach for a necklace Ning Xi had lost, or acting like a clown here setting off fireworks for their romance.
Was his life easy? No!
“Disturbing the peace! This is definitely disturbing the peace!”
Fu Zhi whipped the blanket off his head and roared at the cameraman.
[Good heavens, I thought Fu Zhi was actually asleep. Turns out he was hiding under the covers secretly watching the stream of Ning Xi and Xie Lanchen’s room.]
[He really cares way too much.]
[Who else got the laugh out of Fu Zhi throwing off the blanket? Hahahahaha, he looks so shady.]
“I’m going to report whoever is setting off these fireworks for disturbing the peace! It’s too loud!” Fu Zhi clamored.
But before he could finish, the fireworks display ended.
In just a dozen seconds, the brilliance had vanished.
Ning Xi, however, remained happy for the rest of the night.
She was so excited that she couldn’t fall asleep, her legs kicking restlessly in bed.
[“Puppy Kicking Its Legs”]
Ding.
Ning Xi’s phone lit up.
She picked it up and found that the Program Team had sent her a message an hour ago. She hadn’t noticed it, so they had sent another one as a reminder.
“Youai Village Chief: The eight guests shouldn’t forget to post to their Moments tonight! P.S. The subject of tonight’s Moments post must be your teammate from the Mud Pit Battle [Heart]”
Oh boy!
She had forgotten about the Moments task.
While still kicking her legs, Ning Xi half-heartedly finished her post.
In Xie Lanchen’s room.
Xie Lanchen opened Ning Xi’s Moments and saw the photo of the fireworks she had posted. The corners of his lips couldn’t help but curl upward.
He gave it a like.
In Fu Zhi’s room.
He looked at the text Ning Xi had written for her post, his mouth twitching.
Don’t Let the Dishonest Off: Ning Xi, if I could have a teammate as good as you, I’d slap myself during an argument! (Attachment: Fireworks.jpg)
Did she go crazy from watching the fireworks?
He knew those fireworks were a public nuisance.
