The Security Guard Who Won the Heart of the Unattainable Actress - Chapter 23.1

Chapter 23.1

“I’m dying of laughter. Is it because the staff member followed Jiang Qiaoye last time that they’ve learned how to create a variety show effect?”

“Hey! Why did the camera switch! I still wanted the staff member’s perspective.”

“I still haven’t recovered from the shock of Ran Mingyue just speaking in my ear…”

“Can anyone tell me what Wen Yingzhi meant by that! If I didn’t know the character of these two teachers, I would have thought they were doing something shady after the show last night.”

“Amitabha, please don’t let my favorite pair of best friends fall from grace.”

“The staff member is really cute. Teacher Ran let her choose, and she just chose directly.”

“Ah~ Even in the rain, the atmosphere among the guests is so good. The production team handled the last ranking controversy so well. These guests are not bad at all.”

Poke, poke.

Li Guang’s small movements were cautious and a little embarrassed. They were filming here, and they had already moved away, but Li Guang was still very careful.

“I’ll explain to you after the show.” Ran Mingyue turned her head back and looked at Li Guang. There was distress between her eyebrows. “I just went to dinner.”

She really just went to dinner. Wen Yingzhi wanted to talk to her, and Ran Mingyue had no idea why Wen Yingzhi had to choose Private Room 1.

I don’t believe it.

Li Guang didn’t believe it.

That day she came back, at the entrance of Ran Mingyue’s home.

Ran Mingyue said she didn’t need that thing, and then added a sentence.

“I don’t have that need.”

Li Guang suddenly understood. Her little brain automatically interpreted it as: “Asexual.”

Ran Mingyue saw what Li Guang was thinking and continued, “Really, I…”

What? Did I actually cause trouble for Ran Mingyue?

Li Guang groaned in annoyance and then said in a low voice, “I don’t mean to blame you. I was just surprised.”

The shock that room gave Li Guang was still there, and in just a few days, Ran Mingyue went there again.

That’s why she was surprised.

When Ran Mingyue heard Li Guang say that, her eyes swept over Wen Yingzhi.

Wen Yingzhi immediately became nervous: “Really! I swear!”

Hua Yuzhi scoffed and walked over with a steamed bun in her hand. “Teacher Ran, do you want breakfast?”

“Thank you, I’ve already eaten.”

Only then did Hua Yuzhi shove the breakfast into Wen Yingzhi’s hand. “Eat up. Did you not eat enough? It made you talk nonsense on the show? Teacher Wen?”

Wen Yingzhi took it with a bitter face but quickly adjusted herself and faced the camera as if nothing had happened.

Li Guang had been following behind them, but she wouldn’t appear on camera.

She heard Wen Yingzhi whispering, “We went there to talk about serious matters. If you hadn’t replied the night before, I wouldn’t have been so agitated that I had to go find Mingyue to talk after the show.”

Only from Li Guang’s angle could one appreciate the undercurrents between Hua Yuzhi and Wen Yingzhi. She was curious, and she was also a gossip. Gossip was a human instinct, so her eyes kept going over there.

The teams had been decided. Now it was time for the guests to eat breakfast, exchange morning greetings, and discuss what missions they would face next.

Only Ran Mingyue had finished her breakfast. She said, “I’ll go back and change my clothes first.”

Ran Mingyue took a step back, moving out of the range of Wen Yingzhi and Hua Yuzhi. Li Guang was in high spirits. She was now fully aware of her duty and quickly followed Ran Mingyue.

“Yingzhi came to me to talk about her business. I was going to find you after the show,” Ran Mingyue said. “But when I came back after we finished talking, I didn’t see you.”

Li Guang had many missions this episode. Because of her excellent performance in the first episode, Wang Rou discovered that she was the best in the mobile team, a one-woman team.

So she resolutely decided to give Li Guang a raise. Li Guang had to take on more on-site missions. Her earpiece channel could connect to all the staff on the set.

“You go change. I’ll wait for you outside? I’ll feed the cats while I’m at it.” Li Guang took a bag of cat food out of her pocket and approached a corner of the villa.

Outside the courtyard fence, a transparent small canopy was thoughtfully set up. Two cat bowls were placed underneath.

This was a place where the little calico cat frequently came. After Li Guang figured out the pattern and got Ran Mingyue’s permission, she placed feeding bowls outside.

By the time Ran Mingyue came out after changing her clothes, Li Guang had just finished filling the bowls.

“This little calico loves freedom. It just likes to run around outside,” Li Guang asked. “Sister Mingyue, I remember Teacher Wen said she saw a curly-haired calico here as well. How come I’ve never seen it? Is that little cat a sibling of the one we’re feeding?”

“We.”

Ran Mingyue’s heart skipped a beat. She was a little happy that Li Guang had tied herself to her in a single sentence. She looked at Li Guang. The person’s hair was completely pressed down by a black hat. The stray hairs had also been neatly tucked in just now. She couldn’t see her small, curly stray hairs.

Ran Mingyue said, “Don’t worry. You’ll see it soon.”

“Do you want me to hold the umbrella for you?”

“You can hold it. My body is wet. You have to film later. Don’t ruin the costumes.” Li Guang shook her head. She knew she was about to go back on camera, so she started to move back.

The staff all wore raincoats. Li Guang did too. But the guests didn’t. When it was time for them to move, they always used umbrellas.

Ran Mingyue always used the free umbrella from the security company that Li Guang gave her. When Li Guang walked behind Ran Mingyue and saw the big words “Dedicated Service” swaying in front of her, all she wanted to do was laugh and hit herself on the head.

I forgot again!

On the way from Zone A to Zone B, Li Guang also noticed that behind the bushes next to the bulletin board at the exit of Zone B, there was a huge cardboard box about one and a half meters tall.

There were also messy cardboard boxes next to it, making it look like an abandoned cardboard recycling warehouse.

Was this set up by the production team?

Li Guang made a mental note.

This time, the gathering was indoors.

At 8:15 a.m., the light gradually showed through every window. The rain slowly became smaller.

Wang Rou held a megaphone: “Gather, gather. Okay, based on the small segment this morning, we have already divided the two teams.”

“Hunt team members: Ran Mingyue, Hua Yuzhi, Xiang Que. Captain: Ran Mingyue.

Escape team members: Wen Yingzhi, Jiang Qiaoye, and Song Suoqi. Captain: Wen Yingzhi. Next, we have three indoor missions.”

“After you complete the missions, you will receive rewards and punishments based on your scores. Note! It’s not yet the time for the ‘Escape and Hunt’ part of the show. Unauthorized departure is not allowed, or it may trigger serious consequences. Your scores may bring your team bonus time cards or other props for a comeback. If you can get a perfect score of ten points, you can also get a hidden prop card.”

Wang Rou paused and said with a smile, “Of course, how we score is up to our production team. The most important thing is to remember to protect your life. We will tell the escape team about their privileges for survival after the scores are announced.”

“Now, one person from each team, come and shake the stick.”

Jiang Qiaoye volunteered, “I’ll do it! I’ll do it!”

He grabbed the stick holder and silently chanted. Three sticks happened to fall out.

The three missions were “Costume Hide-and-Seek,” “Elephant Trunk,” and “Full-Team Lie Detector.”

Wang Rou said, “The first game is ‘Costume Hide-and-Seek’.”

“The rules of the game are as follows. Please listen carefully. One team hides, and one team hunts. The hiding team wins if they can hide in the designated area for the allotted time. The production team will provide simple costume props. After being caught, the hunting team can touch the opponent three times and then say their name. The hunting team needs to be blindfolded. The hiding time is limited to two minutes, and the hunting time is also two minutes. Within two minutes, if you guess wrong or exceed the time limit, you don’t win.”

“Which team wants to be the hunting team first? After the hunting team is decided, they will be blindfolded, and the hiding team will immediately begin to prepare.”

Ran Mingyue and Wen Yingzhi exchanged a look. Wen Yingzhi didn’t hesitate: “I’ll do it.”

Jiang Qiaoye: “Okay, okay! Let our captain be the first to show how it’s done!”

Song Suoqi: “I think you’re scared. Scared you’ll faint and don’t dare to come.”

Jiang Qiaoye said with a righteous tone, “No, I’m just creating a camera moment for the captain, little sister!”

Song Suoqi: “You’re overthinking it. Does our captain need you to create a camera moment for her?”

They were all sitting in the hall, and the atmosphere was relaxed. It was a cozy American countryside style. In the corner was a Christmas tree full of lights and small stars. The fireplace was burning warmly, and it even simulated the crackling sound of firewood.

On the colorful carpet, the guests sitting on the sofa each held a colored cushion, looking relaxed and unlike they were filming an escape show.

After Wen Yingzhi turned her back and the staff put on her blindfold, Ran Mingyue discussed with her team and decided that she would be the one to hide.

Wang Rou’s eyes asked her: “Are you sure?”

Ran Mingyue nodded.

“The designated area is the entire living room and dining room,” Wang Rou announced. “The countdown starts in three, two, one. Hide-and-seek begins. The hiding team has two minutes.”

The living room and dining room area… Li Guang was still nervously looking at Ran Mingyue. Didn’t that mean that the entire staff area was also a place for Ran Mingyue to hide?

In Ran Mingyue’s team, the person Wen Yingzhi was most familiar with was Ran Mingyue. But Ran Mingyue unexpectedly had herself go out, meaning the two team captains were going head-to-head.

“Team Ran is so amazing! I knew she would go head-on!”

“But if two people who are already so familiar with each other are facing off, wouldn’t it be easy to figure out who is who?”

“Sister, you don’t get it. It’s more fun with people you know.”

“If you can touch them three times, couldn’t you just touch a key area to tell who it is? Then you’d know who is in front of you.”

“Is there a possibility that this is not a perverted show?”

“Dying of laughter. I’m reminded of that ‘I can put my hand inside your clothes’ meme.”

“Green broadcast, green broadcast, green broadcast. Say it three times. We are really a green broadcast.”

The moment the countdown began, Ran Mingyue looked up and met Li Guang’s gaze.

Li Guang: “?”

Huh?

She understood Ran Mingyue’s hint. Ran Mingyue’s eyes were clearly telling her to help her later.

Li Guang naturally responded—”I’m all good.”

Ran Mingyue didn’t go to get the props from the prop rack that the production team had prepared. She exchanged shoes with Hua Yuzhi.

But when Hua Yuzhi gave her shoes to Ran Mingyue, she shyly took out 5cm insoles from her shoes.
