Deliberate Possession [Entertainment Industry] - Chapter 114
Chapter 114: Venting
Jiang Yumian did come out, but not alone. The two people in the room came out with her.
Jing Xiaoyan and Ling Yisong just wanted to join the excitement. They had begged the staff for the opportunity to come out, promising not to interfere with the game.
Resisting the urge to roll up her sleeves and charge forward, Jiang Yumian smiled. “I wonder which kind soul let me out. I only have Luo Cheng left as a teammate. Did Luo Cheng complete some task and accidentally rescue me?”
This was very reasonable. After all, Luo Cheng felt guilty towards her. If she could resurrect someone, she would most likely choose herself.
Jing Xiaoyan spoke up to remind her, “The one who least wants you to die is Mumu.”
If Jiang Yumian was eliminated, Su Mumu wouldn’t have to play anymore.
A staff member nearby coughed loudly, giving Jing Xiaoyan a look, indicating that she was not allowed to give hints.
Jing Xiaoyan nodded, pursed her lips, and indicated that she was eliminated and couldn’t speak now.
However, Jiang Yumian had already been reminded. She looked up excitedly and smiled. Su Mumu couldn’t eliminate her, hahahaha!
Jiang Yumian: “I’m going to find Mumu to play!”
Just as she took a step, the broadcast announcing Chu Qianyuan’s elimination reached her ears.
And that wasn’t all. At the same time, the sound of Xie Yunhuan’s elimination also sounded.
“Are they fighting while I was gone?” Jiang Yumian looked confused and puzzled, turning to Jing Xiaoyan, wondering if she should go over.
Jing Xiaoyan blinked twice and pursed her lips firmly, indicating that she couldn’t speak now.
Jiang Yumian suddenly realized. Her subconscious behavior made her forget that Jing Xiaoyan couldn’t speak anymore.
“Now it’s only Lin Xi and Chengcheng left. Mumu is not a big deal. I should go find Chengcheng first. Chengcheng can’t be eliminated.”
Jing Xiaoyan silently nodded in her heart. She finally knew who was more important.
Catching a glimpse of Jing Xiaoyan’s gratified expression, Jiang Yumian reached out and scratched her face. So, was she very foolish in Jing Xiaoyan’s eyes?
On the other side.
Su Mumu had just resurrected Jiang Yumian and immediately sent her beloved girlfriend out of the game.
She now had two tasks.
First, find the elimination card. This was the only way she could eliminate others. The small blue ball was useless in her hands.
Second, find Jiang Yumian and watch over her carefully, to prevent her own anxiety, afraid that Jiang Yumian would be eliminated again, and then she would eliminate the remaining Lin Xi and Luo Cheng.
Su Mumu had just found a card when Lin Xi happened to pass by. She quickly hid the card and ran out after her, afraid that Lin Xi had the blue ball for elimination, she secretly hid behind her.
When Jiang Yumian found Luo Cheng, Lin Xi also arrived.
Lin Xi tossed the small ball in her hand, intently observing Jiang Yumian and Luo Cheng.
She asked directly, “Mianmian was resurrected again? Who rescued you?”
Jiang Yumian cleared her throat. “First, tell me if you killed Sister Yunyun and Xie Yunhuan.”
Lin Xi shook her head and then nodded. “Not Chu Qianyuan, but I killed Xie Yunhuan, the enemy’s prince. I am the Prince’s hostage from that Xiang country. My identity clearly indicates I’m on the side protecting the princess.”
She answered very straightforwardly. There were only four people left, so there was no need to hide anything.
Jiang Yumian lowered her head, afraid that the mischievous smile in her eyes would be seen. Lin Xi still hadn’t found her specific identity information and even killed her only teammate.
She suppressed the smile on her face, organized her words, and began to trick her. “Coincidentally, I am the greatest swordsman you hired in the martial arts world. Chengcheng is the princess. She just resurrected me. Now only Mumu is left. We should eliminate her, and we win.”
Jing Xiaoyan, standing next to the camera operator, raised an eyebrow. She even knew how to use her identity. She estimated that Lin Xi would fall for it soon.
Luo Cheng also looked at Jiang Yumian. When did she become the princess?
Jiang Yumian twitched the corner of her mouth, moved a step to block Luo Cheng, and her current goal was to protect Luo Cheng and trick Lin Xi into fighting Su Mumu.
But what she didn’t expect was that Su Mumu was hiding right behind them at that moment, even rolling her eyes at Jiang Yumian. It was clearly herself who rescued her, not Luo Cheng. This black-hearted girl.
She pulled out the card from her pocket, trying to decide whose name to fill in. The card required the other person to perform a specific action to be eliminated.
But the noise in front was too loud, distracting her from thinking. When she looked up again, Lin Xi had already been eliminated.
Jiang Yumian gnashed her teeth.
“My dear Chengcheng, why did you kill her now?”
The elimination ball that hit Lin Xi was found by Luo Cheng during the ten or so minutes Jiang Yumian was eliminated.
Hearing Jiang Yumian’s question, Luo Cheng looked clever. She smiled and blinked. “Lin Xi was the last person on the black team. I killed her, and our white team won!”
Jiang Yumian held her forehead and silently nodded. Su Mumu was still here. Because Su Mumu resurrected her under a special condition, she couldn’t kill Su Mumu. That’s why she planned to trick Lin Xi into eliminating Su Mumu, and then she would eliminate Lin Xi.
She took a light breath and secretly glanced at Jing Xiaoyan. The other person looked relaxed and even winked at her, as if Luo Cheng’s action was fine.
Their eyes met. Jing Xiaoyan quietly pointed to herself, then made a throat-slitting gesture.
Jiang Yumian lowered her head in contemplation, saying nothing, and copied Jing Xiaoyan’s action, frightening Luo Cheng so much that she didn’t dare to breathe. Did she mess up again?
Just as Luo Cheng lowered her head to look for the unused elimination ball Lin Xi had thrown on the ground, the person next to her suddenly clapped loudly.
Jiang Yumian looked delighted, clapping Luo Cheng on the shoulder. “You did great!”
This time, the praise was genuine. Luo Cheng was a little confused.
Jiang Yumian also quickly lowered her head, looking for the ball with Luo Cheng, and explained, “Once we find the ball, you throw it directly at me. We don’t necessarily have to kill Mumu to win. As long as I die, Mumu will definitely lose, but it doesn’t matter if I die. As long as you are still here, our team wins.”
So, they didn’t need to look for Su Mumu anymore. They just needed to find the ball and eliminate Jiang Yumian. It would be even better if they could eliminate Su Mumu, but she didn’t know where Su Mumu was hiding.
Although it was simple, Jiang Yumian was a little anxious. She was afraid that Luo Cheng would be killed by Su Mumu in some other way. If Luo Cheng was eliminated first, she would lose immediately, and she couldn’t kill Su Mumu.
Su Mumu grabbed the ball Lin Xi angrily threw away, hiding behind Jing Xiaoyan and Lin Xi, just watching Jiang Yumian and Luo Cheng search the ground for the ball.
Jing Xiaoyan turned to look at her, signaling with her eyes, asking why she was hiding here.
Su Mumu raised an eyebrow. “To scare your Mianmian when she looks over again.”
Jiang Yumian was indeed startled. God knows how long Su Mumu had been watching them next to Jing Xiaoyan. She quickly pulled Luo Cheng, shielding her.
“What are you standing there for? Aren’t you afraid the wronged souls you killed will bite you to death?” Jiang Yumian yelled at Su Mumu.
Su Mumu walked out with the ball, looking smug. “Are you looking for this?”
Jiang Yumian’s eyes lit up. Without waiting for Su Mumu’s next words, she immediately lunged at Su Mumu, intending to snatch the ball. Su Mumu wouldn’t kill her anyway.
Su Mumu hadn’t expected this. She hadn’t even finished speaking!
The two quickly wrestled with each other.
Jing Xiaoyan and Chu Qianyuan exchanged glances, then quickly turned away. They were speechless…
Jiang Yumian restrained both of Su Mumu’s arms, angrily yelling at Luo Cheng, “What are you standing there for? Come and snatch the ball from her hand!”
Luo Cheng twitched her mouth. They were already wrestling together. It was awkward for her to suddenly join.
It mostly looked like elementary school children fighting over a girl’s hair. She didn’t want to join in and lose face…
“Coming, coming…”
“Damn it! I shouldn’t have come out!” After Su Mumu yelled, Jiang Yumian tightened her grip on her arms. She took a deep breath. “Wait a minute!”
“Rock, paper, scissors. If I lose, I’ll give it to you directly. This is useless to me.”
“If I win, you let me go, and we cease fire for five minutes. We both go find the elimination ball ourselves. How about that?”
Jiang Yumian hesitated for a moment. She didn’t think Su Mumu was that kind. But Luo Cheng was quick to speak and immediately agreed.
She had no choice but to let go of Su Mumu.
Su Mumu straightened her collar and said confidently, “I’ll play with Chengcheng.”
Jiang Yumian stepped back. She didn’t care if they won or lost. Even if they lost, they could still find other elimination balls.
Su Mumu raised her chin and said to Luo Cheng, “I’ll play rock. I’ll let you win.”
Luo Cheng was fully alert. “Really?”
Su Mumu nodded sincerely.
After a few seconds of hesitation, both of them made their moves, and both threw rock.
Su Mumu chuckled. “Trust me. I’ll throw rock again next time.”
Jiang Yumian frowned slightly. Why didn’t Su Mumu just give it to them? Why play rock, paper, scissors?
Jiang Yumian: “Wait…”
Just as she spoke, the “one, two, three” was finished. This time, Luo Cheng threw paper, but Su Mumu didn’t throw anything. Instead, she grabbed Luo Cheng’s hand and completed a handshake.
Under Luo Cheng’s confused gaze, Su Mumu smiled, shaking their clasped hands. “Game over. Thank you, Chengcheng.”
“Luo Cheng eliminated. Game over.”
“Luo Cheng eliminated. Game over.”
“Luo Cheng…”
The broadcast looped three times. Jiang Yumian shivered. Su Mumu was incredible.
It turned out that the last card she had planned to use on Lin Xi, she hadn’t had time to write her name, so she eliminated her. Therefore, she had to fill in Luo Cheng’s name, and the elimination condition was for Luo Cheng to shake hands with her.
On the bus back to the hotel, Jiang Yumian hugged Jing Xiaoyan’s arm, condemning Su Mumu along with the others in the car.
“Mumu, didn’t your heart ache when you ‘knifed’ Sister Yunyun?”
Su Mumu cleared her throat. “It did.”
Chu Qianyuan scoffed. “Game first, how could it ache?”
Jing Xiaoyan suddenly joined in. “Indeed, game first…”
Jiang Yumian now knew what it meant to stir up trouble for herself.
She sat up straight, randomly poking Jing Xiaoyan, blinking at Jing Xiaoyan, who looked like a “petty person.”
Jing Xiaoyan dodged her hand, finally grabbing it and glaring at her to sit properly.
The new hotel wasn’t far from there. They arrived quickly. When they arrived, a staff member brought over a bouquet of flowers, saying that someone who knew their temporary hotel beforehand had ordered a delivery, and the flowers were for Jiang Yumian.
According to the rules, the flowers shouldn’t have been delivered, but Lu Zhi said to give them to Jiang Yumian anyway. Since the person could find their temporarily booked hotel so quickly, their identity was unusual, and Jiang Yumian probably knew them.
Jing Xiaoyan was the first to take the flowers. She sternly took out the card inside. It had gold edges again. She hesitated before opening it, then handed it to Jiang Yumian.
Although she respected Jiang Yumian’s privacy, she still wanted to know what was written inside.
Jiang Yumian finished reading, rolled her eyes inelegantly, and then handed it to Jing Xiaoyan, who wanted to read it. “It’s that Cui Kun again. This time it’s normal, though. He said I shouldn’t worry about the online matters and sent me a bouquet to cheer me up. There’s also an invitation for a banquet in a couple of days, asking me to go.”
Jing Xiaoyan softly scoffed. “A weasel.”
After cursing, she quickly shook her head and corrected herself. “No, he’s a stinking rat.”
After saying that, she held the flowers with a look of disgust, found the hotel trash can, and threw them directly into it without even asking for Jiang Yumian’s opinion.
Jing Xiaoyan gritted her teeth at the trash can, brushing off the non-existent dust from her hands. What kind of person was that? Did he think he was Yin Xiangyu?
Doing this posed no threat to her status and would only be disgusting to people. Jing Xiaoyan only considered Yin Xiangyu a rival in love. No one else was qualified. Her inherent excellence and superiority were clearly different.
She calmed down a little and realized that Jiang Yumian was smiling while looking at her, the emotion in her eyes a little too intense.
Jing Xiaoyan swallowed, suppressing her emotions. Thinking of the words on the card, she finally remembered to comfort Jiang Yumian. “Mianmian, did you see the online stuff? Don’t worry, I’ve taken care of it all. It’s fine now.”
The smile on Jiang Yumian’s face deepened. She kicked the trash can with the tip of her toe, took Jing Xiaoyan’s arm, and coaxed and pulled her upstairs to the room.
She swiped the card. As soon as they entered the door, Jiang Yumian suddenly changed. She had just been gentle and comforting, but now she fiercely pressed Jing Xiaoyan against the door.
Red lips quickly pressed up. Jing Xiaoyan’s eyes widened slightly, but her body quickly relaxed, reaching out to hug Jiang Yumian.
Jing Xiaoyan was a little startled now because Jiang Yumian quickly pulled her hand toward her body, being overly aggressive and proactive.
She was so passionate that it made Jing Xiaoyan’s mind wander during the kiss.
Jiang Yumian slightly retracted her exploring tongue, licked Jing Xiaoyan’s lips, and then bit her without question, punishing her for her distraction.
Her bra had already been undone. Jiang Yumian simply pulled Jing Xiaoyan into the bathroom. It would be quicker to shower together.
After a shower, the bathroom instantly became quiet when the shower was turned off.
Jing Xiaoyan stared at Jiang Yumian’s face, her confusion deepening. She reached out and pinched Jiang Yumian, a little worried.
“Mianmian, are you not feeling well?”
Jiang Yumian paused internally. What the heck? She was just a little proactive.
Seeing her not speaking, Jing Xiaoyan swallowed. “If you’re unhappy and want to vent this way, it’s still okay…”
Jiang Yumian had just wrapped a towel around herself. Hearing her say that, she immediately threw the towel away, grabbed Jing Xiaoyan’s hand even more actively, and placed it directly onto her body.
“Alright, I’ll vent. You do your best.”
