The Movie Queen And Her Rival Just Went Public! - Chapter 52

Chapter 52

Morning Tensions and Disgust Su Cancan wakes up in her sleeping bag, trying to hide her morning dishevelment from Shen Luoyan. They share a brief, rhythmic moment of domesticity as they both speak at once about breakfast. Shen Luoyan steps out to help with the equipment, but the peace is shattered by the arrival of Viky and Miky.

The sound of Miky’s voice lewd and mocking triggers a visceral reaction in Su Cancan. The memory of the harassing messages she received from him makes her skin crawl and her stomach churn with nausea. Shen Luoyan, sensing the situation, cold-bloodedly drives them away: “If you want to flirt, go somewhere else. No one is interested in your bedroom business.”

Shen Luoyan’s Rebellion During the group briefing, Viky has the audacity to ask to join Shen and Su’s date. Shen Luoyan, usually the epitome of professional grace, rejects her flatly in front of everyone, stating she wants a “normal couple’s date.”

When Viky storms off in a tantrum, Shen Luoyan does something unexpected: she stops the recording and commands the crew to delete the segment where they “invited” others. She demands that the “multiple-couple date” option be removed from the rules entirely. When the staff hesitates, she hits them with a freezing glare: “Why? Rules can only be changed by specific people, but not me?”

Under her pressure, the production team caves. They ship Viky and Miky back to the hotel and let the remaining two couples go on their own “self-guided” dates with GoPros.

The First Date Shen Luoyan and Su Cancan set off in their car. Su Cancan, trying to be subtle, sends Shen a text: Are you afraid Viky will cause trouble after you stood up to the program team? However, Shen Luoyan is so focused on her “duty” to provide a perfect date for Su that she sets her phone to silent without looking at the message, leaving Su Cancan frustrated but secretly touched by her focus.

A Moment of Weakness Shen Luoyan plans a route through a lush forest and lakeside—a hidden preference of Su Cancan’s that she didn’t think anyone knew. As they arrive, the fresh air and the sight of Shen Luoyan waiting for her make Su’s heart skip a beat.

While Su stands there, Shen Luoyan kneels before her to carefully spray mosquito repellent on her bare ankles and attach a protective sticker to her clothes. This intimate, selfless gesture causes Su Cancan’s heart to pound against her palm.

She realizes with a start that her “defense system” is failing.

Oh no, she thinks, clutching her fingers. I’m almost growing a “love brain” (falling foolishly in love)!
