Chapter 45.2: (Seeking Pre-orders) ‘Teacher Tong, Your Core Strength Is So Good, How About Five Times Tonight?’ Public Displays of Affection, Whispering Sweet Nothings and Biting Her Ear, The Sweetest Couple on the Reality Show, But Their Daughter Is in Danger?!
Even Ning Han and Shen Chengfeng’s group performed averagely. All in all, Tong Zhou was the most skilled. Even Lan Jinxuan, who had researched so much, couldn’t compare to her.
Tong Zhou estimated she had already harvested one hundred pounds, as lotus roots can be quite heavy. She was about to go for a new one when she realized the one she was reaching for was also being reached for by someone else. She looked up and saw it was Ning Han. Ning Han was the daughter of her drama school’s graduate program director. The two of them usually had a good relationship; aside from Chu Ling Ruo, she was the person Tong Zhou was closest to.
Since they both reached for the same lotus root, Tong Zhou was generous and yielded it to her.
“Thanks.” Ning Han didn’t stand on ceremony and took the lotus root she was handed. “I’ll cook something good for you tonight?”
“Are you sure you weren’t sent by our teacher to supervise me?” Tong Zhou was highly regarded by her teacher, who often gave her special private lessons. Her teacher was very strict. It was okay for her to be on a reality show, but her studies couldn’t be neglected. Ning Han would normally never participate in a show like this, so her sudden appearance felt strange. Tong Zhou said this half-jokingly.
“Why didn’t you guess, ‘I came on this show because of you’?” Ning Han replied, also half-jokingly.
“Did I do something to deserve that?” Tong Zhou blinked, looking as if she didn’t get it.
During their conversation, the Two of them harvested a lot of lotus roots. Among all the guests, Tong Zhou and Ning Han harvested the most. And it seemed so easy for them, as if it didn’t take much effort at all.
In contrast, the others… were absolutely terrible. Especially Zhou Weizhou, who had only dug up a few lotus roots and had found all kinds of weird things instead. He pulled out tree roots and bark, and even a live snake, which scared him so much he fell on his butt in the lotus pond. Everyone started laughing.
— Hahahaha, I always thought Zhou Weizhou was so prim and proper. I can watch his pathetic state today over and over again. Cough cough, no, not whip his corpse.
— How are Tong Zhou and Ning Han so familiar? Ning Han’s gaze towards Tong Zhou also seems unusual?
— An Alpha-Alpha romance? I’m all for it, hahahaha~
— No way. It’s obvious that Tong Zhou and Jiajia are a couple!
Tong Zhou only exchanged a few words with Ning Han, but the comments were already in a heated discussion. Mu Nan Jia naturally saw the interaction between Tong Zhou and Ning Han. She saw the well-hidden affection and ambition in Ning Han’s eyes and silently clenched her hand. She still couldn’t do much. Instead of being pointlessly jealous, it was better to treat Tong Zhou well so that they could have a long-lasting relationship.
An hour passed quickly. The production crew told the guests to take a break so they wouldn’t get too tired. They also sent people to check on each group’s progress so they could adjust the next step.
Mu Nan Jia and Yueyue rushed to the shore to pull Tong Zhou up. Although Tong Zhou was wearing gloves to dig, she was still very dirty and didn’t want to get them messy, so she waved them off, saying she could get up herself.
Mu Nan Jia ignored her and said she was being a little bratty. “Who are you looking down on?”
Tong Zhou: “?”
“I… I have muscles, too! I can pull you up easily!” Yueyue nodded and really flexed the “muscles” on her arm for Tong Zhou to see. “Look! I’m amazing, too!”
Tong Zhou: “…”
She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “I’m just afraid of getting your clothes dirty.”
“I’m not afraid!”
Mu Nan Jia was too lazy to argue with her. She just came to her and took her hand to pull her up. After taking off her gloves, she found Tong Zhou’s hands were colder than ice.
“Are you cold?” Mu Nan Jia held her hand and didn’t let go, her eyes full of concern.
“My body isn’t as fragile as you think.” Although Tong Zhou said this, she still let Mu Nan Jia hold her hand and didn’t pull away. “I used to come here every day during the busy season to earn money, digging for at least eight hours a day. It’s only been an hour now. I’m really fine.”
“The past is the past, and now is now.” Mu Nan Jia felt that this second round was very unreasonable. It was already autumn, and the water temperature was very low. An hour was enough. two hours was simply too much to ask. Tong Zhou’s hands and feet were ice cold, even with her excellent physical condition. Not to mention the other Omega guests.
“You really don’t have to be angry.” Tong Zhou saw that she was truly concerned, with several wrinkles furrowing her brow. It suddenly reminded her of the dream she had in the hospital, where Mu Nan Jia said she was old and wrinkly and wouldn’t kiss her. Now, if she frowned any more, the wrinkles would actually appear.
“I’m not angry.” In fact, Mu Nan Jia had already told the production crew to make some changes. What was the point of just digging for lotus roots for so long? It would be better to add something else, right?
“You say you’re not angry? You could catch a fly between those wrinkles on your forehead.” Tong Zhou’s hands weren’t too dirty, just a little cold. She reached out and smoothed her brow. “You’ll be complaining that you’re old and wrinkly again.”
Mu Nan Jia heard this and looked up at her in disbelief, thinking she had misheard.
“Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?” Tong Zhou felt her gaze was strange, which made her a little confused, but she still asked.
“Ah Zhou… you… you…” Mu Nan Jia’s mind went blank when she heard what she just said. She didn’t know how to face Tong Zhou and couldn’t say a word.
“What’s wrong?” Tong Zhou saw her hesitation, her inability to speak, and her pale face. She didn’t dare to ask anymore. She just held her hand and looked at her with concern.
“…Nothing.” Mu Nan Jia managed to squeeze out those two words after a long while, forcing a smile on her face. She couldn’t describe how she was feeling. It was as if… she had been completely submerged. Even lifting her head to breathe felt like a luxury. She didn’t dare to ask her again. After observing her carefully for a while and not finding anything, she felt a little relieved, as if she had escaped from the clutches of death. Tong Zhou… still didn’t remember the past. She had overthought it. But why did she say that?
…
“Everyone has been digging lotus roots for over an hour now. I think that’s enough time. It’s not necessary to keep digging. Why don’t we use the lotus roots we’ve already harvested to cook a delicious lunch, and then have the third round in the afternoon?” The host had just received feedback from the director. After all, Mu Nan Jia was the biggest investor in this show. The segment they designed was indeed not very reasonable. Omegas were extremely fragile, so they couldn’t be in such an extreme environment for a long time. Otherwise, it would truly harm their bodies, and it wouldn’t be worth it.
So the director readily changed it. The host, however, felt that Mu Nan Jia really liked Tong Zhou. He didn’t believe she changed it for the sake of the other Omegas. It had to be because of Tong Zhou. His gaze towards the two of them became even more doting.
“Of course, that’s fine!” Yun Ruoxi was the first to raise her hand and answer.
“I’m pretty good at cooking.” Chu Ling Ruo was tired of digging and really couldn’t continue. The other guests also agreed that the production crew’s proposal was good and that they should hurry up and cook something to eat.
They all came ashore covered in mud. Mu Nan Jia and Yueyue were spotless, while Li Jing arrived late, looking like she had lost her soul. The camera gave her a close-up shot.
— It seems Jiajia is really comfortable this time. I suspect she came to relax and travel, not for anything else.
— If you had an Alpha like Tong Zhou, you’d be comfortable too, right?
— No, what’s wrong with Li Jing? I always get a bad, gloomy feeling from her.
Tong Zhou also went to change her clothes. Before she left, Yueyue clenched her little fists and said determinedly, “Mommy Zhou Zhou, don’t worry. I’ll protect our lotus roots!” She was probably afraid that someone would steal their lotus roots or cheat during the weighing, so she was especially attentive.
“Okay, then I’ll leave it to you, Yueyue. I’ll be right back.” Tong Zhou thought the child was so cute, and Yueyue was especially adorable. Seeing her so serious, she naturally didn’t want to discourage her and gave her encouragement instead. She then looked at Mu Nan Jia and saw her face had returned to normal. She felt a little relieved. “I’ll leave the child in your care. I’ll be right back.”
“Ah Zhou, I’ll cook for you later. You can rest well.”
“…Are you sure you want to cook?” Tong Zhou thought of their home where the kitchen was still not completely set up, and then she thought of Mu Nan Jia’s cooking skills, looking a little pained.
“The host said everyone has to make at least one dish, or you’ll only get half the points.” Mu Nan Jia was full of confidence and believed she could do a good job.
“Is that so…” Tong Zhou was speechless. “Then… just think about what to make.” She then went to the changing room without saying anything else.
Li Jing came over to Mu Nan Jia only after Tong Zhou left. Her eyes were gloomy and terrifying, as if she had suffered a great setback. Her previous pride and arrogance were gone. Mu Nan Jia didn’t want to interact with Li Jing. She hugged Yueyue and walked away, trying to distance herself from her.
But Li Jing wasn’t going to let her go. “Actress Mu, what did I do to offend you? Why are you trying to destroy me like this?”
“Have you forgotten what happened at the hospital?” Mu Nan Jia thought she was ridiculous. “Why would I not hold you accountable?” And if she hadn’t wanted to resolve this completely, Mu Nan Jia would have dealt with her long ago.
“I didn’t actually do anything to you in the end, did I? Did you have to show no mercy and drive me to extinction?”
Li Jing’s emotions were already out of control. It was impossible for an artist who had been struggling for several years and finally had some status and connections in the industry to lose everything in less than an hour and possibly be sent to jail. It was impossible to stay calm.
Especially Li Jing. She had been so reckless in bullying others, stealing their resources and popularity, and suppressing artists from the same company to secure her position, all because her aunt was a boss with shares in her management company. She had done so many things to bully the kind and fear the evil, and now that everything was forcibly taken from her, she still felt pitiful.
Mu Nan Jia felt her face was simply too ugly. “According to the regulations in the Omega Supreme Protection Act, what you did to me that day is enough for you to go to jail for five years,” Mu Nan Jia didn’t want to talk to her anymore. “If you’re smart, you’ll turn yourself in, and maybe you’ll get a lighter sentence. Otherwise, what are you saying to me here?”
Li Jing felt her attitude was firm and knew that it was unlikely she could beg her for mercy. She still felt wronged, and the first thing she thought of was how to suppress Tong Zhou. Even if she was going to die, she wanted to take Tong Zhou with her. But she naturally couldn’t let Mu Nan Jia know about this. She stopped talking to Mu Nan Jia and turned to leave, her back looking desolate.
In the comments, there were people who supported Li Jing. They saw that she had been bullied by Tong Zhou and Mu Nan Jia all day, and that the other guests and the production crew were also clearly biased. This, combined with official announcements from brands and production crews saying they were canceling their contracts with Li Jing… made these people immediately start a conspiracy theory, accusing Tong Zhou. They naturally didn’t dare to mess with Mu Nan Jia, as she could crush them with a single finger. But Tong Zhou was different. She had just started to show her potential. If they gave her more scandals and rumors, investors would see her as unstable and would naturally exclude her from consideration.
So Li Jing’s fans started spreading rumors about Tong Zhou and creating false things to throw mud at her, hoping to show the brands and production crews that had canceled their contracts with Li Jing how innocent she was. Yes, Mu Nan Jia’s methods of dealing with Li Jing were very rough. She directly canceled her brand endorsements and roles. Since Li Jing loved to steal others’ things, she wanted her to feel what it was like to have everything stolen from her in one day. What’s more, she had even more methods to deal with her, but there was no need to use them now.
Tong Zhou was still completely unaware of this. She quickly went back and changed her clothes. The other guests came over to talk to her. Zhou Weizhou even came over and asked awkwardly, “Tong Zhou, do you have any free time recently?”
“Free time? I do, but…”
“I want to invite you to collaborate. With a lot of money. Are you interested?”
“What kind of collaboration? I don’t sing…”
“You don’t have to sing. I just need you and Yueyue to show your faces. And I can get you amusement park tickets, so you can go with Yueyue. If you’re too busy to go, I can help out.”
Tong Zhou: ??? So you were after Yueyue all along, huh?
“So what’s the project exactly?” Although Tong Zhou had a guess, she still needed to ask for clarification.
“I’ve taken on an endorsement for an amusement park and an aquarium. It’s mainly for the aquarium. We’re looking for a child to be in the commercial, and it’s quite an important role. I think Yueyue is perfect for it. It would be great to have her.”
“I see,” Tong Zhou said. She didn’t expect Zhou Weizhou to introduce such a good opportunity to her. She thought Yueyue might have never been to an aquarium before and would probably like it. But she still needed to ask Mu Nan Jia’s opinion, so she said, “I’ll ask Yueyue what she thinks when I get back.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for your good news.” Zhou Weizhou was happy at the thought of being able to play with Yueyue. He thought he didn’t like children, but Yueyue was just too adorable and gave him a lot of inspiration. He naturally wanted to spend more time with her. It was hard to get close to her on the show, and there were so many tasks, so he had to find another opportunity.
Tong Zhou didn’t say much else and went out with the now-changed Chu Ling Ruo. The two of them only talked for a few moments and then were quiet. Chu Lingruo still wanted to say something but didn’t. She watched as Tong Zhou and Mu Nan Jia happily reunited and Yueyue, as always, became their little ray of sunshine. She knew that Tong Zhou really did love Mu Nan Jia. This change was something she never would have expected. For the time being, she couldn’t persuade her of anything. After all, even Tong Zhou herself didn’t care about what Mu Nan Jia had done to her before. How could she, an outsider, go and get justice for her? She could only say that Tong Zhou was too soft-hearted and that Mu Nan Jia was too skilled at manipulation. Otherwise, how could Tong Zhou have fallen into her trap?
While the guests were changing, the host, to warm up the atmosphere, deliberately teased Yueyue, hoping she could show everyone a talent. What kind of talent could a three-year-old child who could barely speak even have?
— Yueyue could just sit in front of me all day, and I would think that was a great talent!
— Yueyue could sleep in front of me all day, and I would have a constant smile on my face~
— Give the child a break! Does she have to perform a talent again?
As everyone was discussing, they didn’t notice that within the camera’s view, danger was quietly approaching. This time, it almost cost Yueyue her life.
