Turns Out Seducing the Movie Queen Can Break the Plot - Chapter 40.1
The guests looked at Director Xu with anticipation.
Based on the current guesses from the guests, none of the six could directly form a heart-fluttering CP.
Director Xu’s gaze swept over them before he leisurely announced, “Congratulations to Jiang Chi and Wen Wen for directly forming a heart-fluttering CP pair.”
[Congratulations to the new couple for successfully pairing up!]
[Jiang-Wen getting married on the spot.]
Hearing her name, Jiang Chi snapped out of her daze and looked at Director Xu in surprise, “You said me and who?”
Before Director Xu could answer, the person beside her spoke first, “Me. What, aren’t you happy about it?”
Not happy? How could that be!
Jiang Chi immediately threw herself at Wen Wen, hugging her tightly and nuzzling against her shoulder, “I’m super happy, sister!”
“Oh? Then why were you so surprised?” Wen Wen tilted her head, suddenly bringing their faces extremely close.
Their breaths mingled.
Jiang Chi was hugging Wen Wen from the side, one arm draped across her front. At this moment, she could feel the powerful heartbeat beneath her arm so strong it seemed ready to leap out.
“Surprised that.” Jiang Chi grinned mischievously, leaning closer to whisper in her ear, her lips brushing lightly against the delicate earlobe, “Sister was this moved by me too. I’m so happy.”
The fair, translucent earlobe instantly flushed red.
Jiang Chi raised an eyebrow and leaned in further, “Sister, if your earlobe keeps acting this adorable, I won’t be able to resist biting it.”
Wen Wen lowered her eyelids, masking the emotions in her eyes, and placed a hand on the arm draped over her. She tilted her head slightly to look at Jiang Chi, bringing their faces even closer.
Breaths intertwined.
Seeing the beautiful face suddenly magnified right before her, Jiang Chi’s breath hitched, and she instinctively tried to pull away. But the hand on her arm tightened, giving her no chance to escape.
“So,” Wen Wen suppressed the flutter in her chest and said calmly, “what exactly did you see in my video that made your heart rate spike to 200?”
It turned out that a puppy trying to get its owner’s attention should just behave and not attempt anything the owner doesn’t allow otherwise, it’ll only end up getting thoroughly pinned down by the owner.
Jiang Chi froze for two seconds before snapping back to reality. She gently freed her arm and sat up straight, avoiding eye contact guiltily, “Ah, I don’t remember either. I forgot right after watching. If you want to know, you can ask the production team for it later.”
Wen Wen’s gaze traveled from Jiang Chi’s face to her earlobes, now tinged with a delicate pink so tempting and adorable. If not for the live broadcast in front of everyone, she wouldn’t have let her off so easily.
[(Blinking rapidly) Did they just hug like that right in front of us?]
[Help, I think I just witnessed their daily life!!!]
[Jiang-Wen shippers can stop now. Open affection is friendship; cautiousness is love. These two are clearly acting, and the worse actor is already showing her nerves.]
[Right! Jiang Chi’s heart rate shot up to 200 when she saw Wen Wen’s video, she must’ve been scared, hahaha! Serves her right. Next time, she should steer clear of Wen Wen!]
[A fan’s desperate defense: When they end up in bed together someday, are you all going to say they’re just fighting? Hahaha, I can’t.]
After finalizing the CP pairings, the production team arranged for everyone to take a bus down the mountain. After a journey of over two hours, the bus stopped at the entrance of the largest amusement park in the capital city.
It was a Saturday, and even from a distance away from the main gate, the lively sounds of the crowd inside could be heard.
Jiang Chi jumped off the bus, eyes sparkling with excitement. “So, the theme of today’s recording is to have fun, right?”
Director Xu replied, “Yes, it’s about having fun, but you’ll need to use the money you earn yourselves to pay for all the rides including the entrance fee.”
Ji Mei asked, “How much is the entrance ticket here?”
Jin Jin Yi chimed in, “I’ve been here once before. If I remember correctly, an adult ticket costs 239.”
“That’s right,” Director Xu confirmed. “Today’s tasks are directly related to your accommodation conditions tonight.”
The guests would also need to earn their own funds to enjoy the amusement park, with a time limit of three hours. After that, they could freely choose rides to check off. By 4 PM, the results would be tallied, and the CP with the most check-ins would get first pick of their lodging for the night.
“Just a reminder, there’s a slight difference in the quality of the accommodations. Personally, I think it’s worth putting in the effort to secure the best one,” Director Xu added.
“After 4 PM, we have a hidden group task for everyone to complete together.”
“Now, I hope you all enjoy yourselves in the park while staying safe~”
Ji Mei clutched the few paper bills in her hand. “What if we don’t even have enough for the entrance fee?”
Director Xu grinned. “The task starts now. Everyone, get moving and earn some money~”
Ji Mei: “……”
Jiang Chi sidled up to Wen Wen. “Sis, do we have enough for the tickets?”
Wen Wen counted all their money, it was just enough for two tickets, with 32 yuan left over.
Jiang Chi sighed as he looked at the loose change in Wen Wen’s right hand. “Sis, what can we even do with this? On such a hot day, it’s barely enough for two cups of milk tea.”
Before he could finish, a voice suddenly cut in. “Wow, we actually have quite a bit left, more than enough for two extra cups of milk tea.”
Jiang Chi: “……”
Not content with just gloating from behind, Su Jing walked up to the two of them. “So, Teacher Wen, if you sincerely compliment me, I can buy each of you a milk tea any flavor you want. Or I can just give you the cash directly.”
Wen Wen glanced around before finally settling her gaze on Su Jing, replying coolly, “Compliment you? Forgive my poor judgment, but after all these days together, I still haven’t found a single thing about you worth praising.”
With that, she grabbed Jiang Chi’s hand and walked away.
Jiang Chi quickened his pace to keep up with her, hesitantly asking, “Sis, what you just said was that how you really feel?”
Or was it just lingering resentment from being rejected last night?
“What? Are you unhappy that I called him worthless?” Wen Wen stopped abruptly to look at him.
“No!” Jiang Chi shook his head vigorously. “Absolutely not! I think you’re right! Completely right!” He quickly changed the subject. “Sis, have you figured out a way to earn money?”
Wen Wen nodded and led Jiang Chi to a stationery stall near the entrance.
Jiang Chi stood to the side, watching Wen Wen with confusion until she noticed the stationery Wen Wen was picking out. She immediately understood what Wen Wen intended to use to earn money and said incredulously, “Sis? You can do quick sketches?”
Wen Wen was carefully comparing stationery when she paused at the question. She tilted her head and looked at Jiang Chi seriously. “Mm, I learned drawing specifically for someone.”
For Su Jing again, no doubt.
For reasons she couldn’t explain, Jiang Chi pressed further, “Sis, did you learn all your skills just for that one person?”
Without hesitation, Wen Wen replied, “Yes.” She lowered her head to continue selecting stationery. “If not for her, I wouldn’t have known how vibrant the world could be. Or rather, as long as I’m by her side, the whole world feels colorful and bright. That alone is enough for me.”
Seeing Wen Wen’s tender expression lost in memories, Jiang Chi couldn’t comprehend it. She wanted to say it outright, just like that night.
It’s truly impossible between you two, sis. Give up.
But it was too cruel.
Too cruel for Wen Wen.
Judging by Wen Wen’s demeanor, there must have been something between them in the past. Yet for some reason, only Wen Wen remembered now, while Su Jing had completely forgotten.
But even if Su Jing remembered, what difference would it make? No matter how deep their past entanglement was, theirs was nothing but a doomed bond.
Most importantly, Su Jing wasn’t worth entrusting her heart to. If he were, Jiang Chi would have done everything in her power to help Wen Wen snatch him back from Bai Yue Tong.
Wait.
