The Security Guard Who Won the Heart of the Unattainable Actress - Chapter 26.1

Chapter 26.1

The rain poured down, as if knowing the players had reached a critical point, perfectly setting the mood.

Li Guang focused on running with Ran Mingyue. She couldn’t let Ran Mingyue get eliminated in the first round!

She ran fast and held Ran Mingyue tightly.

Her feet created one splash after another in the puddles from the impact. Through her clothes, Li Guang’s arms were tight from using all her strength, and her oxygen was consumed quickly, causing her to pant.

To see the road clearly, she had to shake her head, and raindrops scattered from the brim of her hat.

She was truly in a sorry state… Li Guang didn’t have time to apologize to Ran Mingyue.

The three-minute distance was very far for them as participants.

“Oh my gosh, even though there are no chasers behind them, I can really feel the atmosphere of the hunt.”

“Covered in mud but moving toward light and hope. What is this amazing ‘looking toward the sun’ romance?”

“This is the first time I’ve seen a staff member in such a sorry state holding my goddess, and I don’t feel weird about it!”

“What is this post-apocalyptic blockbuster?”

“Ahhhhh, run! Run! You have to take good care of my goddess, please!”

“They’re so dirty, but I feel like they have a light around them! My goodness!”

“I’ll always be moved to tears by girls helping girls.”

“That damn Brother Ye was the last one to be rescued, but he was the fastest one to escape! He was the first to arrive at the base camp.”

“Go, 06! Only thirty seconds left, don’t give up! Go!”

“Li Guang… you…” Ran Mingyue knew that time was ticking away. Li Guang was already struggling. But she couldn’t get down and walk now. If she got down and hesitated for a moment, thirty seconds would pass in the blink of an eye.

“It’s okay.” Li Guang seemed to know what Ran Mingyue was going to say. She didn’t look down. Instead, she turned into a small path, showing no signs of giving up, and ran persistently toward the finish line.

She was the person who was most familiar with Zone B. Therefore, no one would know the path to Villa 5 better than her. Li Guang believed she could get Ran Mingyue back to the base camp.

In the last five seconds, Li Guang appeared near the base camp with Ran Mingyue. The other guests couldn’t help but run to the front door to cheer for Li Guang and Ran Mingyue.

“So much endurance!” Hua Yuzhi and Song Suoqi leaned against each other excitedly. “I feel, I feel like 06 didn’t even pant? Does she even breathe?”

“Sister Ran, go! You saved me. If your health bar is gone, the audience will really laugh at me!”

Wen Yingzhi clicked her tongue. “That’s truly beyond my expectations.”

“Right?” Xiang Que agreed. “When I was filming with Xiao Ran before, she was a clean freak.”

Wen Yingzhi: “She’s also a clean freak when she’s with me. It’s impossible for her to accept this kind of… this kind of embracing.”

Is she really different toward Li Guang, or is Ran Mingyue choosing to ignore it in the context of completing the mission?

How strange. It’s so strange that even Wen Yingzhi, as Ran Mingyue’s good friend for so many years, finds it very strange.

Li Guang couldn’t hear what the others were saying. She couldn’t hear the rain either. She only felt her heart pounding violently in her chest. She held her last breath. When Wang Rou’s countdown reached 0, she took a big step, carrying Ran Mingyue and leaping through the villa’s gate.

All the comments: “!!!!!!!!!!”

“So strong!!!!!!!!!!”

Li Guang put Ran Mingyue down. She was sweating a lot, and it was all mixed with the rain, making it impossible to tell the difference.

“Time’s up!”

The show’s timekeeper announced at the same time. Li Guang exhaled a long breath and then started breathing heavily. Her lungs felt like they were going to explode.

She went to the side to walk around and calm down. The soreness in her legs only now began to set in.

When Ran Mingyue’s hand reached over, Li Guang spoke at the same time: “Don’t… don’t worry about me. You go and dry your hair first, or you’ll catch a cold.”

“You’re wetter than me,” Ran Mingyue subconsciously wanted to get closer to Li Guang, but her assistant had already run over quickly.

“Dry your hair quickly! We’ve already prepared your clothes!” the assistant said. “Go change in the RV, Teacher Ran. Hurry and dry yourself during the break.”

Li Guang’s colleague also came over to help, giving her a clean towel.

“Thank you,” Li Guang’s mission was complete, so she naturally retreated to the side first.

“Sister Ran, what are you looking at? Hurry and get inside to warm up and heal!” Jiang Qiaoye took Ran Mingyue and walked into the living room.

Li Guang was wiping her hair, feeling wet and uncomfortable all over. Her clothes were still sticking tightly to her skin. Ran Mingyue must be the same. She watched the few people who had already arrived at the living room filming area.

“Wipe yourself dry quickly. It’s a good thing you made it back, otherwise I would really feel guilty to death.” Hua Yuzhi knew that Ran Mingyue was her lifesaver. If it weren’t for Ran Mingyue, she would have been done for a long time ago.

Ran Mingyue was wiping her hair, and Hua Yuzhi helped Ran Mingyue wipe the rain off her body.

Ran Mingyue’s hair was wet, but her back was fine because she had been held.

This show was for real. They were still rolling around in the rain.

Besides Ran Mingyue, only Jiang Qiaoye, who was forced to roll on the ground, had gotten himself into this state.

At this moment, Ran Mingyue and Jiang Qiaoye’s towels were full of dirty mud.

This variety show was too physically demanding. The others had a deep appreciation for it. Ran Mingyue had expended a lot of physical energy since the beginning, saving people and being chased.

“Overall, we still have to praise our accompanying security guards. They really protected us during this sudden event,” Wen Yingzhi said. “It’s just a shame…”

Hua Yuzhi: “It’s a shame that my security guard was eliminated while protecting me.”

“And Jiang Qiaoye’s also sacrificed himself,” Wang Rou said. “Congratulations to everyone for successfully returning to the base camp, and thank you to our security personnel for truly fulfilling their duties. Now everyone, take a break. We’ll bring out the survival props from this round of hunting.”

“When you trigger the NPCs, danger and luck coexist. As long as you can hide for half an hour, you’ll get a prop card. In each round, only the person who reaches the designated location first gets the prop card. This round’s winner is Jiang Qiaoye. Congratulations.”

“Brother Ye, he completely… got a free ride! Just by hanging on that tree branch. If Teacher Ran hadn’t gone and saved him, he would have been poked to death in the butt by the pineapple people’s knives,” Hua Yuzhi said.

Jiang Qiaoye: “A free ride is also a kind of luck. Why not, hehe? Thank you, Sister Ran, for saving me. I knew Sister Ran was the most beautiful and kind-hearted person!”

He took the prop card and carefully put it in his pocket.

No one knew what card he got.

“I really want 06 to be my accompanying security guard too,” Hua Yuzhi muttered in the back. “I feel so safe being protected by 06. Teacher Ran, don’t you think?”

Ran Mingyue said, “Yes. Without her, I wouldn’t have been able to get back.”

Wen Yingzhi stared at Hua Yuzhi for a long time and didn’t respond. She held back for two seconds and then couldn’t anymore. She said, “Why are you fantasizing about someone else’s security guard protecting you? Can’t you just run by yourself?”

“That’s a sense of security. Do you understand what a sense of security is?” Hua Yuzhi said and then pretended to have a sudden realization. “Teacher Wen probably finds it hard to know what a sense of security is.”

Wen Yingzhi: “…”

Jiang Qiaoye was happily showing off his prop card box to others.

“Don’t come over! Don’t come over!” As someone who wasn’t on the same team as Jiang Qiaoye, Xiang Que raised his team’s honor. “When the game starts later, Xiao Ran and I will be the first to kill you.”

“You can’t kill me. It’s impossible to kill me,” Jiang Qiaoye said smugly. Hua Yuzhi suddenly said, “But you have weak legs. It’s possible you’ll be killed by the pineapple people. We don’t even need to make a move.”

“What?”

Ran Mingyue said, “Your legs are weak. The fans said when you were saved, that your legs are softer than a…”

Wang Rou: “Mingyue, we will follow up with a voice changer. You can’t say that word.”

“Hahahahahahahahaha”

“Although they said they would use a voice changer, the directing team didn’t say they would cut this part. I really admire this production team.”

“Pass it on: Brother Ye’s legs are softer than a rooster’s.”

“Pass it on: Ran Mingyue said Brother Ye’s legs are softer than a rooster’s.”

“Pass it on: Ran Mingyue said after dating Brother Ye that his legs are softer than a rooster’s.”

“This is how rumors are born.”

“So, is Jiang Qiaoye no good? I’m dying of laughter.”

Ran Mingyue closed her mouth and didn’t say anything. She was just repeating what the fans said.

Even though Ran Mingyue didn’t explain, Jiang Qiaoye already understood. He patted his thigh and said, “Just you wait. Brother will show you how tough he is in the next segment.”

Wang Rou said, “The first round of the hunt mode is over. The game is ready to officially begin. Please have all the guests and their accompanying security guards make an official appearance.”

This step was mainly to make it easier for the production team to edit the footage later. These procedures had been announced in advance.

Li Guang hastily wiped the mud and water from her face and hat. It was a good thing that only her back had been rolling in the mud, which allowed her to still appear on camera.

But it was also a good thing because all their security team members wore masks and sunglasses, so no one could see who they were anyway.

Hua Yuzhi’s security guard, 02 Yang Meimei, who was eliminated, also went up with Li Guang. In front of a group of big men with a minimum height of 178 cm, Li Guang, who was at least 173 cm with her shoes on, still looked so slender and weak.

Everyone greeted the audience in front of the screen one by one. When it was Li Guang’s turn, she said, “Hello, everyone.”

Her voice was clearly different from the big men before her. As a girl, her voice sounded especially soft and sweet. It was impossible to imagine that such a person was the on-site chief security officer.

Many new viewers poured into the live stream and happened to see this part of Li Guang greeting them. They were all puzzled.

“Production team, what do you mean by this? Why did you get someone with such a small build to protect our goddess?”

“Before the show started, someone said the security team was short on people. It’s true. With this small build, how did she become a security guard?”

“People who have been watching since 7:30 don’t say anything.”

“Newbies, don’t just yell. It’s also because this is a live broadcast and you can’t rewind it that you can say such silly things!”

“Anyway, I don’t want to get kicked by 06. Without prop protection, I feel like my internal organs would be shattered…”

“When did she kick someone????”

“Please, everyone, can you look at the comparison? Security Guard 1, Niu Donggua, behind Actor Xiang is 188 cm. Do you know what that means? He’s 190 cm with shoes on. Security Guard 05, Chai Ning, standing next to 06, is at least 183 cm. When these two are standing next to 06, a big eagle would be made to look like a small bird.”

“Sisters, describe it more! Ran Mingyue’s official height is 168 cm. This 06 is a little taller than her, at least 170 cm. But she looks small because she’s in a crowd of men.”

“You can look at the comparison between the security guards in the back and the female celebrities in the front. It’s like a wall is standing behind the girls…”

“Anyone who didn’t see 06 running wildly with Ran Mingyue in the rain will really cry.”

“I’m a fan of Brother Ye. I’m starting to look forward to the footage of Goddess Ran directly counter-killing Brother Ye, hahahaha. How can this man’s mouth be so annoying and lacking in character! (But I still love it.)”

“It’s raining outside. Everyone, remember to wear your raincoats and bring umbrellas. Guests who have gotten their clothes dirty can go change.”

“The directional hunt between players will begin in an hour. This hour is for the escape team to hide, evade, and think of strategies. After an hour, the game time is forty-five minutes. The hunt team must eliminate all the members of the opposing team to win.”

“Please note the following rules!”

“Each accompanying security guard can only appear when the guest calls for them.”

“Mutual elimination is adopted. The escape team members can only kill the other team with one hit by striking the life point on the left side of the chaser’s chest. The chaser can eliminate any life point location on the escape team’s member. Always be aware of your health bar changes. Low health can be replenished at the base camp. Killing is prohibited inside the base camp.”

“The triggered NPCs are still present.”

After Wang Rou finished speaking, Jiang Qiaoye said, “They’re still here? The pineapple people are still here?”

Wen Yingzhi said, “Don’t worry about the pineapple people. Go and wear your raincoats.”

After this round of filming, it was already eleven o’clock. They were just being chased around the neighborhood, and two security guards were eliminated.

Ran Mingyue didn’t call her assistant. She took her clothes herself and went to the RV area with Li Guang to change.

There were two RVs, one for the guests and one for the regular staff members.

“You go change. I’ll wait for you outside after I’m done,” Li Guang said and then pointed to Ran Mingyue’s wet hair. “Hurry up. Your hair also needs to be dried. Make sure you don’t catch a cold.”

“Okay.” After Ran Mingyue got into the RV, Li Guang lifted the curtain of the RV across from her and went in to change.

Li Guang changed her clothes very quickly and then blew her wet undergarments dry.

After she finished all of that, it was about ten minutes. The hunt team had an hour to rest. There was plenty of time.

When Li Guang came down, the curtain of the RV across from her hadn’t been pulled open, but the door wasn’t locked.

Ran Mingyue hadn’t changed yet. Li Guang waited patiently outside.

She had already put on her raincoat. With the raincoat for protection, Li Guang was no longer afraid of the rain. In this rare moment of free time, the kiss in the cardboard house suddenly came to her mind.

—Was it really not a demonstration?

Li Guang softly “sighed” and continuously patted her cheeks, muttering to herself: Don’t think about this. Don’t think about this!

She took a step closer to the RV.

Why hasn’t she come out yet?

Li Guang went closer in confusion but heard other voices.

“Are you listening to me? I’m seriously telling you, don’t mess around on this show…”

Mess around? What mess around?

Li Guang recognized the voice. It was Ran Mingyue’s manager, Shang Wenya.

“I’m not messing around.”

“You’re on this show, and the people at the company are watching the comments. Some arrangements are all for your own good, aren’t they?” Shang Wenya sighed. “What’s going on with you and 06? I heard Jiang Qiaoye gossiping that you two don’t get along well.”

Ran Mingyue’s low voice: “…He’s just talking nonsense.”

“But I saw that you seemed a little different from usual when 06 appeared,” Shang Wenya said. “You still need to be careful. Isn’t it good to be in a group with Xiang Que? The camera time you’re giving to a staff member is more than what you’re giving to Xiang Que.”

Shang Wenya added, “This is the last chance for the show. We have to take it. You’ve already come to participate in a variety show. What’s more, you have the highest chance of getting Director Qi’s female lead role.”

Hiss…

In this industry, when you mention Director Qi, who doesn’t know about that strange director, Qi Yishu? When Li Guang was still a nobody in the entertainment industry, everyone’s dream was to meet Qi Yishu.

Is Qi Yishu shooting a new movie or something? I didn’t hear about it.

“You just need to focus on opening up your domestic market. As for this show, if you want to play around, just play around. And with that 06, I saw that the comments were pretty good, so you can continue. As long as you don’t go too far, the company won’t ask any questions.”

Li Guang was stunned.

What 06? What ‘playing around’?

The words were so simple, but when they were put together, she just couldn’t understand them.

So, Ran Mingyue came to the variety show to get Qi Yishu’s female lead role.

Was she… just a part of her getting the role or some kind of benefit?

Li Guang blinked. She stood by the RV, forgetting to react and forgetting to move.
