The Movie Queen's Beloved Crybaby Alpha - Chapter 44

“It hasn’t even been a month, you couldn’t have forgotten already, could you?”

Wei Youning tilted her head to look at Bai Qian.

Bai Qian gave an awkward laugh. “No, it’s just been a while since I last rode a bike.”

“Take it slow then, and be careful not to hurt yourself.” After smiling and offering this reminder, Wei Youning turned her attention back to the road ahead, focusing on her cycling.

Because of this, she missed the fleeting shadow of malice that flashed through Bai Qian’s lowered eyes.

After a somewhat bumpy ride, the group finally arrived at the scenic area.

Once the bikes were parked, the host distributed tickets to everyone before leading them inside.

This scenic spot was essentially a local garden. In ancient times, a wealthy nobleman had found the scenery so captivating that he claimed the entire stretch of land at the foot of the mountain and turned it into a private garden.

Here, visitors could stroll through streets steeped in classical charm and even take bamboo raft rides to admire the carefully crafted landscapes along the riverbanks.

At this point, the tour guide handed them a small booklet with a smile. “This lists all the famous attractions in the area. Your task is simple: visit each spot and collect the stamps inside. The person with the most stamps wins a prize!”

Hearing the word “prize,” Wei Youning grinned and asked, “A prize? What kind of prize?”

The host put on a mysterious air. “That’s a secret for now, you’ll find out when the time comes.”

“I hope all of you enjoy yourselves and look forward to your surprise reward!”

With that, the host took the lead and left.

Ning Yunshu held the booklet and turned to Ye Qinglan. “Sister, is there anywhere you’d like to go first?”

“Well, since we’re here, we might as well explore. I’ve been here a few times before, but this experience is quite special. Seeing it from a fresh perspective is nice too,” Ye Qinglan replied with a smile.

As a local of S City, she had visited these famous spots many times with Ye Wentao and Lin Xuesong and knew them like the back of her hand.

“So, are we sticking together or splitting up?” Jiang Can asked.

“Since it’s a competition now, we should probably go our separate ways,” Wei Youning said with a laugh.

“Fair enough,” Jiang Can scratched his head.

Ning Yunshu tugged at Ye Qinglan’s sleeve and grinned. “Well then, sorry everyone, but we’re heading out first. We know some shortcuts, but we won’t be sharing them!”

With that, the two of them dashed off.

Wei Youning stared after them, dumbfounded. “Oh, you sneaky Ye Qinglan and Ning Yunshu! So you’ve been holding out on us!”

Jiang Can’s girlfriend also looked regretful for not stopping them. “They’re both locals they must know the area inside out. They’ve hit the jackpot this time.”

Wei Youning clicked her tongue. “Guess we’d better get moving too, huh?”

The two groups exchanged glances before turning and leaving in opposite directions.

Just like that, all six of them were gone completely oblivious to Bai Qian, who was left standing alone.

Bai Qian had intended to follow Ye Qinglan and Ning Yunshu, but before she could even approach them, they had already sprinted off without a second thought.

By the time she turned around, the other two groups had vanished as well, leaving her standing there in a daze.

The host, noticing her hesitation, kindly reminded her, “Miss Bai Qian, you should get going too.”

“Uh, yeah.” Bai Qian forced a smile, then put on a fragile, delicate act for her drone camera, saying, “Everyone, I’ll do my best.”

Meanwhile, Ning Yunshu and Ye Qinglan had run quite a distance. When they turned back and saw that no one was following except their own drones, they took out the personal livestreaming devices provided by the program crew and set them up. This way, they could offer an additional perspective and interact with the audience in the comments at any time.

Sure enough, as soon as the two started their livestream, a flood of netizens poured in.

-Lanbao! Lanbao! Lanbao!

-CEO Ning! CEO Ning! CEO Ning!

-CEO Ning, the way you just grabbed Lanbao and ran looked like an elopement!

-I’ll go fetch the marriage registration office right now, please just get together already!

Ye Qinglan chuckled and said, “Hello, everyone. Today, Xiao Shu and I will take you on a little-known but time-saving shortcut.”

Ning Yunshu added, “Of course, don’t try this alone, it’s easy to get lost.”

The chat erupted with laughter as the two walked along, explaining the surroundings with their livestream devices. Their commentary was even clearer than some professional tour guides’, and they always managed to pinpoint the stamp collection spots accurately. In just half an hour, they had already collected three stamps, twice as fast as anyone else.

For many viewers who had visited this scenic area before, it was a completely fresh experience.

-How on earth did they find these hidden paths? My family and I have been here at least two or three times, and I had no idea these existed!

-Seriously, the scenery I used to find boring now feels totally different.

-Lanlan is amazing! As someone studying for a tour guide license, I’m so envious, I wish I could explain things as well as she does!

After making their rounds, the next activity was water-based. Originally, tourists were supposed to ride on boats steered by boatmen, but Ning Yunshu rented a bamboo raft instead. Ye Qinglan sat at the front while Ning Yunshu steadily propelled the raft from the back.

“She’s had special training, and we know the old man who manages this area, so don’t try this if you’re inexperienced. Safety always comes first when traveling,” Ye Qinglan reminded.

-CEO Ning can even do this? Impressive!

-The real challenge is that this isn’t just any boat keeping a bamboo raft steady requires serious skill. CEO Ning is incredible.

Seeing the comments, Ye Qinglan smiled, her eyes curving happily.

“Yes, she really is amazing.”

-Hahaha, the moment Lanbao praised CEO Ning, CEO Ning must’ve been over the moon. Too bad she probably can’t hear it, she looks so anxious back there.

-CEO Ning: So anxious! What’s my wife saying? I need to know!

-Don’t get too worked up, CEO Ning! If you panic, we’re all going in the water, lol.

Ye Qinglan glanced back at Ning Yunshu, who immediately responded with a bright, dazzling smile.

Ye Qinglan smiled back before turning away again.

-AAAAAH, that smile, I’m dead!

-I ship it, I ship it, I’ll ship it, okay?!

-Please stop teasing us, just tell us you’re already dating!

Ye Qinglan chose to ignore such comments and continued explaining their surroundings instead.

When they reached the dock and tied up the raft, Ye Qinglan took Ning Yunshu’s hand and boarded the boat.

“What was sister saying on the boat just now?” Sure enough, Ning Yunshu’s first action upon reaching shore was to chase after an answer.

Ye Qinglan avoided the question with a hum. “Who knows? The stamping station. Ah, here it is.”

With that, she headed toward the designated stamping area.

“Hey! Sister~”

Ning Yunshu quickly caught up, her voice laced with playful pleading. “Come on, what was it?”

As she spoke, she swiftly winked at the camera, signaling the audience.

Ye Qinglan ignored her, but the viewers were absolutely losing it.

Kitty won’t say a word, just watching the puppy squirm in curiosity. manual doge

HAHAHAHA, I’m actually dying. CEO Ning straight-up started acting spoiled, and Lanbao’s just pretending nothing happened!

She said you’re amazing!!! (yelling)

Seeing the barrage of comments, Ning Yunshu couldn’t suppress her grin.

“Sister praised me, huh? Why won’t you just tell me~”

Ye Qinglan acted as if she hadn’t heard, handing the booklet to the staff for stamping.

HAHAHAHA, sis, please acknowledge your puppy, she’s about to combust from impatience!

Little CEO Ning: Sister, notice me, notice me, notice me!

I’m gonna pass out from how sweet this is!

Once stamped, Ye Qinglan pulled a pouting Ning Yunshu aside.

“Be good. We still have many places left to visit.”

“Fine~” Ning Yunshu puckered her lips, still looking a little wronged.

Ye Qinglan sighed softly before reaching up to ruffle Ning Yunshu’s hair.

“There, there. Good girl.”

Only then did Ning Yunshu brighten up, tugging Ye Qinglan forward. “I remember two more spots ahead, let’s hurry!”

Witnessing Little CEO Ning’s instant mood switch.

A pup who’s instantly soothed with just a little coaxing from her sister, SO CUTE!!

Little CEO Ning has completely shattered my understanding of Alphas.

Same, ID number included!

Ning Yunshu paid no mind, sticking to Ye Qinglan the entire time. Relying on their memory, the two became the fastest among all participants in collecting stamps.

Meanwhile, Wei Youning and Jiang Can’s teams, both notoriously bad with directions, lagged far behind. By the time Wei Youning saw the live chat updating her on Ye Qinglan’s progress, she was numb.

“Are these two for real? Can’t they leave some experience for the rest of us?!” she grumbled through gritted teeth.

Xu Youyou calmly pulled out her phone, entered Ye Qinglan’s livestream, and turned to Wei Youning. “Now we’ll know which way Teacher Ye went.”

Wei Youning’s eye twitched. “Isn’t that cheating?”

“Did the rules say no?” Xu Youyou blinked innocently.

After a minute of internal debate, Wei Youning decided, why not? If the production team didn’t forbid it, she might as well see how Ye Qinglan’s team was moving so fast!

Upon catching wind of this, Ye Qinglan even playfully interacted with Wei Youning in the livestream. Fans from both sides happily exchanged updates on each other’s locations.

Jiang Can and her girlfriend, on the other hand, were far more relaxed strolling around, occasionally playing music or singing on the streets, treating the whole thing like a leisurely vacation.

As for Bai Qian, she wandered alone with her own livestream, forcing smiles as she greeted viewers now and then.

I can’t believe the others. They know Qianqian’s by herself, yet no one even checks on her. Even the production team turns a blind eye.

–

My heart aches for our Xixi, these people are just too much!

–

Hugs for our dear Xixi, it’s okay, it’s okay.

Watching the barrage of insults, Bai Xi lowered her gaze slightly, concealing the smugness in her eyes as she spoke softly.

“Everyone, please don’t say things like that. The other teachers didn’t mean any harm.”

“They just wanted to win, that’s all.”
