Chapter 222 Stepping Stones in Variety Shows 17
"You..." Gu Yao was speechless, looking somewhat dejected. He couldn't help but mutter, "Can't you just let me have my way this once?"
"No." Qingyu replied with a smile, her eyes, as bright as the starry sky in midsummer, filled with subtle smugness that was not annoying but rather softened one's heart.
Gu Yao suddenly realized that even if Qingyu was not particularly beautiful, he would probably still be moved by her and those eyes.
"Ok."
Gu Yao was defeated. Qingyu looked at the staff and was about to say something when Gu Qiwen strode over. He stared intently at Qingyu and said in a deep voice, "This time, you must choose a partner to spend the next two days together. Since there is a shortage of male guests, I will temporarily fill in."
His words caused a huge uproar.
As we all know, Gu Qiwen is a rising star in the entertainment industry. Although his background is not as good as the other male guests, his connections are top-notch.
He's also good-looking...
"This show is getting crazier and crazier... even the director is personally appearing on stage?"
"I'm getting more and more hooked!"
"I always feel like this relationship is a bit awkward..."
…………
The netizens' feelings were correct; Qingyu was even amused by Gu Qiwen's antics.
She felt that this person was deliberately making things difficult for her.
The two exchanged a glance, Gu Qiwen swallowed hard, and carefully said, "You can choose me."
Qingyu rolled her eyes, ignored him, and walked towards Xie Zeyan, "Xie Zeyan, let's make do!"
She originally wanted to choose Murong Han, since the latter seemed gentle and considerate, and should be easy to get along with.
However, considering Xie Zeyan's strange behavior, Qingyu decided to investigate it herself.
Xie Zeyan was completely surprised that Qingyu would choose him. His eyes were filled with joy, and he couldn't help but step forward, saying, "I will take good care of you!"
He knew it! The jade pendant would definitely be useful! There was an attraction between him and Qingyu!
They're a match made in heaven!
Qingyu frowned slightly, but ultimately didn't say anything more.
Gu Qiwen's face instantly turned ugly. He clenched his fists, took a few deep breaths, and said with a deep look in his eyes, "It's fine."
The three words seemed to be spat out from between his teeth.
For some reason, seeing Gu Qiwen like this, Gu Yao next to him felt relieved and even a little fortunate, because compared to that, he seemed to be able to get a nice look from Qingyu.
Well, that's some progress.
Lin Feiyue had long anticipated this outcome, and felt only a slight disappointment. She began to ponder when she could develop a relationship with Qingyu...
Best friend relationship?
Unfortunately, there was no love...
The thought flashed through her mind, and she awkwardly curled her fingers, just in time to catch a glimpse of Murong Han's clenched fist.
He sneered inwardly.
Pshaw, what a miserable man.
Meanwhile, netizens were in an uproar.
"As expected, Qingyu still chose Xie Zeyan. I knew there was something going on between them."
Wow, this couple is so sweet.
Is it really true?
……
Qingyu and Xie Zeyan didn't care about the reactions of those around them; one was completely unconcerned, while the other was just grinning foolishly.
After everyone was matched, they embarked on their new journey with a staff member's announcement: "Get ready to spend the next two days together!"
"The plot seems to be pretty uneventful from now on..." Qingyu idly flipped through the plot in the system space.
The system scratched its head. "Is it possible that you've become arrogant?"
Qingyu rolled her eyes at the system. "How could that be?"
Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out ahead.
Everyone looked on curiously, only to see that the car had arrived at a grassland, and a group of people dressed in strange clothes were walking towards them. The leader looked at everyone with hostile eyes.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into this forbidden area!" the man shouted.
Qingyu's heart skipped a beat. This wasn't mentioned in the plot. How could there be such a situation?
New storylines that have emerged from this?
Qingyu was eager to try, but Xie Zeyan immediately and instinctively shielded Qingyu behind him, watching the newcomer warily.
The others looked at each other, but no one panicked too much, all understanding that it was most likely arranged by the production crew.
really.
"It's a misunderstanding. We are just tourists participating in the program and did not know that this was a forbidden area," Gu Qiwen stepped forward to explain.
After he finished speaking, the leader's expression softened, but he still looked at everyone with a hint of suspicion.
"In that case, you can stay as guests and help us with our tasks!"
Gu Qiwen was about to agree when Mu Ran suddenly spoke up and complained, "So, do you actually want us to do the work?"
Lin Feiyue wholeheartedly agreed and couldn't help but ask, "Which...which race are you from?"
"What I really want to know is why this place is forbidden?" Qingyu interjected, gazing into the distance with a grave expression, for she saw a black aura swirling there—
It gave her a feeling similar to the jade pendant Xie Zeyan wore.
The leader frowned, initially not wanting to pay attention, but seeing Qingyu's clear eyes, he said as if possessed, "An evil power is sealed here; getting close can easily corrupt one's mind."
Qingyu's eyes lit up. Ignoring Xie Zeyan's obstruction, she took a few steps forward and said with a smile, "We agree and promise not to cause trouble."
The leader hesitated for a moment, not expecting Qingyu to agree so quickly. They had already accepted the program's invitation, but in the end, they nodded.
Everyone managed to stay, but after entering the grassland, Qingyu sensed an unusual aura.
It's just vague and indistinct, not real.
"Qingyu, you were too reckless just now." Xie Zeyan approached Qingyu, his expression somewhat worried.
"It's just a show, you're being too cautious," Mu Ran interjected, her face full of disdain, then tentatively added, "But Qingyu, you are indeed very brave."
She tried her best to please him, but didn't even get a glance from Qingyu, and quickly became disappointed.
Murong Han had also disliked Xie Zeyan for a long time. He regretted not spending more time with Qingyu and not discovering her beauty and charm. Otherwise, he would be the one by Qingyu's side now.
However, he was at least rational. Although he was dissatisfied, he did not show it on his face. Instead, he tried to smooth things over by saying, "It's right to be cautious."
"that's right."
"That was really scary."
……
The others chimed in one after another, quickly drowning out what Xie Zeyan wanted to say. Qingyu also had no time to pay attention to him, focusing intently on observing her surroundings.
As Qingyu walked, she suddenly noticed a strange stone under her feet, with some incomprehensible runes carved on it.
Her eyes brightened slightly, but just as she bent down to examine it, the faint, strange aura suddenly intensified.
Qingyu frowned, picked up the stone and quickly gripped it in her hand.
Suddenly, someone in the group ahead shouted, "Danger!"
Before anyone could panic, the tribespeople dressed in strange clothes gathered around, handed them small props, and instructed them, "Please protect your partners!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sky suddenly darkened, and several dark figures sped towards him from a distance.
The leader shouted, "The forces of darkness have arrived!"
A "kind" member of the clan explained that the sealed evil force had sensed someone approaching and had broken part of the seal.
This sudden plot twist excited everyone. Mu Ran tightly gripped Lin Feiyue, saying, "Feiyue, let Brother Han protect you!"
Lin Feiyue was taken aback, and suddenly understood the program team's intention: to let the female guest experience the male guest's courage and thoughtfulness first...
If it were in the past, she would probably have been very attracted to the handsome Murong Han in front of her, but her gaze subconsciously turned to Qingyu.
"Qingyu, come here quickly!"
