Deliberate Possession [Entertainment Industry] - Chapter 58

Chapter 58: Shameless

Jing Xiaoyan was still pondering what Jiang Yumian had said after she went inside, though she figured out the “damn dog” part from her lip movements.

After guessing for a long time and still not figuring it out, she decided to ask her about it after the show ended.

Jiang Yumian and Chu Qianyun stood outside, exposed to the cold wind. Even though they were eliminated, two cameras were still pointed at them.

“Seriously, is the treatment this bad after being eliminated?” Chu Qianyun shivered, shrinking her neck. She pointed to the camera. “Why are you still filming us?”

Jiang Yumian was also cold. She thought for a moment and figured that the cameramen wouldn’t leave until everyone else had finished.

“Sister Yunyun, look, they’re not paying any attention to us. Should we go inside too?” Jiang Yumian looked inside. No one was stopping them now, and it was almost dark.

Chu Qianyun nodded and walked inside with her.

Chu Qianyun was curious. “Mianmian, are you really the mole?”

Jiang Yumian turned to look at her. “If I say I’m not, will you believe me?”

Chu Qianyun shrugged. “You look like one to me.”

Jiang Yumian lightly scoffed. “And here I thought I trusted you.”

Chu Qianyun was surprised. “You trusted me? Jing Xiaoyan was practically crushing me just now, why didn’t you say you trusted me?”

“Because I’m not the mole, and you’re not the mole. We’re not on the same team, so why would I speak up for you?”

Jiang Yumian said this as she walked into the museum. She couldn’t help but shiver. She sighed lightly. It was much warmer inside.

“Then who do you think it is?” Chu Qianyun looked inside. They couldn’t go in further. Staff members were blocking the entrance, so they had to sit on the sofas outside.

Jiang Yumian said, “Xie Yunhuan and Jing Xiaoyan, probably.”

Chu Qianyun sat there stunned for two seconds, then scoffed coldly. No wonder Jing Xiaoyan was setting the rhythm and stepping on her.

“Then why do you think it’s those two?”

Jiang Yumian bundled up her jacket and explained to the camera, “Jing Xiaoyan must have done a mission at the second destination to defect because she was with me the entire time at the mall and didn’t do any missions.”

“Since Jing Xiaoyan was the one at the second destination, the one who triggered the mission and defected at the first destination must be on our team. First, exclude me. Next, exclude Mumu, who was with you the whole time. That leaves Lin Xi and Xie Yunhuan. Lin Xi met Chu Baiyue sometime, but her performance afterward was quite good. As for Xie Yunhuan, he started calling me the mole even before the mole hint came out, planting a seed of doubt in my teammates’ minds a long time ago.”

After her analysis, Chu Qianyun nodded thoughtfully. “But why do you suspect Jing Xiaoyan?”

It could be anyone else.

Jiang Yumian twitched her mouth. “Didn’t we rob her of two gold cards…”

Chu Qianyun said, “Didn’t you also say you were robbed? Does that mean she let herself be robbed? She could have just faked it. Why would she bite… uh.”

Um…

She finally realized. If Jing Xiaoyan was the mole, then biting Jiang Yumian was intentional. There were many ways to fake being robbed, but she chose to use biting to cover it up.

Oh my god… she’s truly shameless…

Jiang Yumian’s eyes twitched. See? Anyone with eyes could tell.

But she couldn’t do anything now. Since they were live, she might as well cover for Jing Xiaoyan. “She didn’t actually bite me. She was just taking the opportunity for revenge, revenge for me tricking her again.”

“No way! Did I really vote wrong?!”

“Both of them are eliminated. There’s no need to lie, so they probably really aren’t… OMG.jpg”

“If these two really aren’t the moles, then Mianmian’s analysis makes perfect sense.”

“If Jing Xiaoyan really is the mole, then her biting Mianmian was intentional. I don’t believe she didn’t actually bite her, hahahaha”

“Hahaha, I bet Mianmian felt something was off at the time.”

“She probably didn’t bite. Mianmian was probably so agitated because she was about to bite, which is why she said she was a dog. Sister was just intimidating her.”

“Although Mianmian said it was revenge, based on Sister’s style, she doesn’t seem like the type to seek revenge on Mianmian, so…”

“Sorry to both of you! I voted for you too, hahahaha, but Jing Xiaoyan, seriously, she actually… I’m going to cry, hahahaha”

“The Red Team has collected ten cards. The answer is about to be revealed!”

“They actually let Jing Xiaoyan go to the central control unit for verification, saying she was the most proactive. Oh my god, if Mianmian’s guess is right, then it’s all for nothing!”

“Waiting for a reversal!”

There was indeed a reversal. Because Jing Xiaoyan was the mole, all of the Red Team’s rewards were transferred to the Blue Team. The two unexposed moles each received an additional five hundred reward.

Besides Jing Xiaoyan, the other mole was indeed Xie Yunhuan. Jiang Yumian had guessed correctly.

“And here I trusted you so much, Sister. Go to your Red Team!” Lin Xi pushed Xie Yunhuan away with a shove.

Chu Qianyun also pushed Jing Xiaoyan towards them. “You’re the one with the most tricks up your sleeve.”

After they successfully re-divided the teams, the staff quickly summarized the results.

“Based on the number of gold cards held by each team, the Blue Team has nine gold cards, receiving 3,600 yuan in funds provided by the production crew. The Red Team has ten gold cards, but without the doubled reward, they only receive 2,000 yuan in funds provided by the production crew. The two unexposed mole members each receive 500 yuan in funds.”

“To address the suggestions made in recent episodes, tomorrow’s filming will take place in the mountains and forests for two days and one night. Your necessary items will be selected by viewers through a Weibo vote and then purchased with your funds.”

Everyone was stunned. They were really going into the mountains and forests!

Letting the netizens choose the items was one thing, but they had to spend their own money to use them. No wonder Lu Zhi said they would be miserable if they didn’t make enough money!

Although she was shocked, Jiang Yumian was also looking forward to it. She had never done anything like this before!

The live broadcast ended.

Everyone equally divided the funds.

Each person in Jiang Yumian’s team had nine hundred, while each person on Chu Qianyun’s side only had five hundred. The difference was indeed significant.

And Jing Xiaoyan was even richer. With the mole reward, she had a thousand four all to herself. Xie Yunhuan had a thousand. They were so rich.

Jiang Yumian felt that Jing Xiaoyan, standing beside her, was now a goldmine. She needed to shake her down for some money when they got back tonight.

Although she thought this, Jiang Yumian didn’t talk to Jing Xiaoyan the entire way. She deliberately put on a stern face and acted aloof.

This state continued until they returned to the hotel, where Jing Xiaoyan started acting spoiled towards her.

“Mianmian~”

“Mianmian, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have bitten you.” Jing Xiaoyan sat on the bed, hugging Jiang Yumian’s arm, her tone full of coaxing. “Saying I was going to bite you to death was just an act. I was afraid of being discovered. I just wanted to win with you.”

Seeing her blink at her, Jiang Yumian held back and held back, but finally couldn’t maintain her composure. She scoffed softly, turned her head, and glared fiercely at her.

“Stop pretending. Wasn’t your main goal just to kiss me!”

After saying this, Jiang Yumian suddenly felt a slight itch on the part of her neck that had been kissed. She scratched it with her hand but didn’t feel any better.

Jing Xiaoyan lowered her head, looking apologetic. “I was indeed, but I only dared to bite because I knew you liked me.”

Jiang Yumian paused, looking at her head. After two seconds of silence, she furrowed her brow, her tone suddenly serious. “You know I like you, but do the netizens know? Did you consider the consequences of doing that at the time?”

“If you were a man, or if everyone knew you liked girls, and that kiss on my neck was filmed and broadcasted live, you would be 100% getting cursed at online right now.”

Jing Xiaoyan froze, opened her mouth, and lowered her head even further. She had acted impulsively at the time and couldn’t resist.

Jiang Yumian pursed her lips. Seeing her head bowed, she couldn’t bear to scold her anymore. She reached out and pinched her face, sighing lightly. “It’s alright. I said on the broadcast that you didn’t bite me. Even if the netizens don’t believe it, they won’t curse you if they see that I’m acting like it doesn’t matter.”

“You haven’t participated in a reality show before, especially not a live one. I can understand why you didn’t think too much at the time. Furthermore, we are both girls, so the netizens won’t think about it in a negative way. At most, they’ll just ship us. But from now on, you need to think carefully about anything you want to do and make sure it’s appropriate before doing it.”

Jing Xiaoyan nodded, immediately hugging Jiang Yumian. She was a little down after being reminded. She was too reckless. She thought that since they were both girls, it wouldn’t matter if they were filmed.

“Mianmian, you’re so good.” She rubbed her face against Jiang Yumian’s shoulder.

Jing Xiaoyan recalled everything she did today. Her fans probably had a new perception of her now.

Jiang Yumian turned her head and squinted at her. “I’m not good. I said on the broadcast that I wasn’t bitten because I was afraid someone would blacken your name. Your biting me is a separate matter.”

Jing Xiaoyan blinked, deliberately changing the subject. “Huh? Mianmian, did you just say you liked me?”

Jiang Yumian guiltily pushed her away. “I was just using it to reason with you. I don’t like you.”

Noticing Jiang Yumian’s feigned denial, Jing Xiaoyan smiled again and didn’t press her to admit it. She changed the topic again. “Then what did you say before I went into the museum?”

Reminded of that.

Jiang Yumian looked at her with a menacing look, saying in a fierce tone, “I said I was going to bite you, you damn dog.”

Hearing this, Jing Xiaoyan’s eyes immediately lit up.

She shamelessly pulled open her collar, looked down at herself, and asked herself, “Where do you want to bite? How about the collarbone again? Last time was the right side. How about the left side this time? It would be symmetrical.”

Jiang Yumian immediately pulled her collar back up, her cheeks burning from embarrassment. This person, seriously!

“Go take a shower quickly! I’ll apply the medicine for you when you’re done.”

Jing Xiaoyan stopped bothering her, got up, grabbed her clothes, and headed for the bathroom. Thinking that she could still hug Jiang Yumian to sleep tonight, all the previous unhappiness had completely vanished.

Everyone rode the bus for over three hours, finally leaving the bustling city. The bus drove past villages and stopped at the foot of a mountain a few miles from the village.

The cement road they took was very badly damaged. The road here was extremely difficult to travel. It was a very underdeveloped area. According to the staff, there were several villages here, but only one supermarket, and the data network signal was very poor.

Their mission was to walk from one end of the mountain to the other. Actually, what they called a mountain was more like a long, long ridge.

The group looked at the endless ridge, their faces etched with despair.

Lin Xi looked distraught. “No way. Two days and one night. How are we going to cross this?”

Chu Baiyue also said, “And how are we going to deal with going to the bathroom and showering?”

Her face wasn’t much better. Luo Cheng was the one who was most looking forward to playing this, but she wasn’t here for this episode, and Chu Baiyue was the one who ended up facing it.

The staff said, “Follow the road signs provided by the production crew. You will see five temporarily built simple toilets along the way. As for showering, you’ll have to bear with it. It’s a mountain and forest adventure. We don’t have that many facilities for you.”

Jiang Yumian looked up at the sky. Oh my god!

It was going to be hard for her to go two days without showering or washing up!

Jing Xiaoyan placed her hand behind Jiang Yumian’s head, gently lifting it up. She leaned close to her ear and whispered, “If you can’t stand it and want to shower, I’ll keep watch for you. You can shower in the tent. I definitely won’t not look.”

She said this so seriously, but Jiang Yumian felt strange listening to it. What did she mean by “definitely won’t not look”? That meant she would definitely peek, right?

Jiang Yumian realized what she meant and immediately pinched Jing Xiaoyan’s arm, quietly scolding her, “You’re being shameless again…”

She could just take a simple wipe-down. She wasn’t that delicate. Besides, who would want to shower in the mountains? It would definitely be a huge hassle.

Jing Xiaoyan slapped away the hand that was pinching her and said seriously, “What are you doing? All this pulling and tugging. You know men and women should keep a proper distance, right?”

The others looked over upon hearing this, a little puzzled. Wasn’t it usually Jing Xiaoyan clinging to Jiang Yumian?

Chu Qianyun, who heard everything next to them, “…”

Jiang Yumian: “…”

How could she have the nerve to say that…
