Xu Xinghe and Xia Qingmeng took a plane and arrived in two and a half hours. For some reason, Xia Qingmeng was a bit airsick this time and wasn’t feeling particularly well. Xu Xinghe hugged her directly and let her lean against him to sleep. Fortunately, he had prepared all sorts of motion sickness medicine. If she really felt unwell, they wouldn’t be caught off guard.
Xia Qingmeng had woken up early, so she soon fell into a deep sleep. Once she was fully asleep, she didn’t feel the airsickness at all.
When she woke up, they had already arrived at their destination. The couples who arrived first could enjoy free time. Group activities would only start once everyone had gathered. Since this was a slow travel variety show, there was a lot of freedom to begin with, and there weren’t many group activities. Everyone was quite happy.
The first stop of the trip was X City in the south. The weather was like early summer year-round. It was a bit warm, making it an ideal place to go when it was winter. The production team had arranged for everyone to stay in a local, uniquely styled homestay. The first to arrive naturally got the chance to first pick the room. The two of them chose the room farthest in, which was quieter but still had decent natural light.
Because they had woken up so early, neither of them felt like sightseeing. They just wanted to sleep. After unpacking and tidying up a bit, they went to bed.
The viewers watching the live stream: ????
Wow…
They were watching people sleep live?
But… somehow… it was still pretty sweet…
Only couples with a really good relationship could cuddle up and sleep so intimately, right?
Xia Qingmeng’s fans felt both relieved and bittersweet.
Relived because if any hater dared to falsely say that their “daughter” was a mistress or a stand-in, they could immediately slap down the evidence.
Show them any mistress or stand-in who got treated like this.
Anyone with eyes could see that she was the real official girlfriend!
And the “son-in-law” was actually a pretty good guy. Worth keeping!
But the bittersweet part was that their lovely, tender cabbage was still rooted up by a pig, even if it was a rare golden pig…
Let us pause here to consider the other side.
Shen Xichun sat in the car fuming. Since it was a live broadcast, she couldn’t openly say anything too harsh, so she simply sulked and pretended to sleep.
Shen Xichun had always seen herself as career-driven. Her CP act with Xiang Ran was merely a way to use his existing fanbase. Once he was no longer useful, she would untangle herself from him.
The results showed she had made the right choice. She had shot to fame practically overnight. At least for now, she was explosively popular, landing on the trending searches every few days.
And now compared to Xiang Ran, she had already found a better target: Xu Xinghe, who was also participating in this show. Although Xu Xinghe wasn’t a celebrity and didn’t have many fans, there was no denying his extraordinarily powerful status.
The heir of the Xu family, chairman of the Xu Group, holds most of the economic lifeline in his hands. If she could hook up with him, she could do whatever she wanted in the entertainment industry afterward.
As for Xia Qingmeng?
Shen Xichun didn’t consider her a threat at all.
In her view, given Xu Xinghe’s status and family background, how could he possibly marry an actress? Since they were both celebrities, that put them on the same starting line. When it came to playing with feelings, if you took it seriously, you’d lose.
This wasn’t Shen Xichun’s first time doing this. She had no problem about using her body to trade for resources at all.
[Why isn’t Chun Chun sitting in the front passenger seat? Keep Xiang Ran company~]
[Sitting in front isn’t as comfortable as lying down in the back]
[Ah, so sweet, so sweet! Xiang Ran is letting Xichun lie down in the back so she’s more comfortable, while he has to drive…]
[This candy just broke my tooth…]
…
The live chat was still arguing, but that didn’t matter. Anyone with eyes could see that at least the viewership numbers were solid.
…
Xu Xinghe and Xia Qingmeng slept until it was dark outside before getting up.
By then, aside from Xiang Ran and Shen Xichun who hadn’t arrived, the other two couples had already arrived one after another. The six of them discussed it and decided to make dinner together and eat as a group.
The funny thing is, during the prep work, all six people were busy in the kitchen. But when it actually came time to cook, the kitchen suddenly only had the three men left.
The three of them looked at each other.
What a coincidence, wasn’t it?
It seemed none of their wives were particularly good at cooking?
It was now dinnertime, and there were many viewers. The live chat was filled with “haha” comments.
[My delicate, helpless wives (not really)]
[Fang Chengle’s pink apron is so funny hahaha (no offense, just hilarious)]
[Is no one going to compliment these three men on their cooking skills??]
[This is making me hungry…]
[Suddenly my instant noodles don’t look so appetizing…]
[Excuse me, is it reasonable for a major group chairman to be this good at cooking?]
[So what? Isn’t a chairman human? Why can’t he cook?]
[The person above must have read too many novels. Cooking is a basic life skill, isn’t it?]
…
Meanwhile, Xiang Ran and Shen Xichun on the other side had already driven half the journey. The two decided to rest for the night and continue the next day.
They were now racking their brains over where to eat.
To be precise, only Xiang Ran was racking his brains.
Shen Xichun kept saying she needed to maintain her figure. She couldn’t eat this, she couldn’t eat that. And she was incredibly picky. Xiang Ran felt like his fists were clenching on their own…
The live chat had been arguing nonstop without end.
Some viewers thought Shen Xichun was being pretentious.
Shen Xichun’s fans said those were rival fans posing as passerbys.
On the other hand, Xiang Ran’s fans felt he deserved better. They couldn’t understand what was wrong with their “brother’s” eyes. Why did he fall for such a dramatic, high-maintenance woman like Shen Xichun?
She had no princess status but all the princess diseases.
She had only gotten a little popular from one drama, and she was already throwing her weight around. What would she be like in the future?
The diehard CP fans, thick-skulled as they were, were still trying to console themselves.
They said this was just how someone acted when they truly liked someone, because the one who is loved has the confidence to be willful.
But a passerby hit them right in the heart: Won’t she eventually wear out that love if she keeps acting like this?
It was only the first day of the live broadcast, and five or six trending searches had already popped up. Half of them were thanks to Shen Xichun. Her already not-so-large fanbase, especially her data fans, were exhausted to the point of spitting blood.
