Chapter 51.1
Shen Xingsui felt that his ears and body started to burn.
These dangerous words were too sudden. He thought he was having auditory hallucinations or something. How could he huh? Why? What??
In an instant, his face turned red like a boiled shrimp. His face, his ears, his neck even down his chest were all flushing red. After hearing this rogue sentence, he even felt ashamed Ugh, why was his heart beating so fast? Its too embarrassing!
Fu Jinxiao straightened his body again. He was looking forward to seeing the youths reaction.
However, before Shen Xingsui could speak, he bolted away like a scared little rabbit!
Fu Jinxiao raised his eyebrows, and heard chaotic footsteps echoing in the hallway. That little rabbit sure ran away quickly, as if there was some scourge chasing behind him.
The actor was silent for a while before letting out a muffled laughter.
Shen Xingsui ran downstairs, and several people downstairs looked at him suspiciously.
Shen Xingchen asked curiously, Whats wrong with you?
Shen Xingsui panicked, panting heavily while shaking his head, Its nothing.
The cameramen downstairs were still there, and they all looked at each other curiously. They were all regretting that no one stayed upstairs just now, not knowing what happened.
Shen Xingchen teased his younger brother and said, Looking like this, did someone eat your tofu1a more soft? Less scummy? molestation. Like, it doesnt have as much as negative connotation as actual molestation. or something?
Shen Xingsui blushed even more. He already looked quite delicate, but with this furious blush, he looked like a girl from a good family who met a pervert while she was running.
Seeing that he didnt speak, Shen Xingchen got excited. He put his shoulders on Shen Xingsuis shoulder and joked, Even if there are really some perverts going at you, you dont have to be afraid. Erge will stand up for you, and I will definitely protect you. Let me see who dares to bully you. I will definitely slap
Fu Jinxiao, who was upstairs just now, walked downstairs.
Compared to the shy and flustered Shen Xingsui, Fu Jinxiao was very calm and relaxed. He came over and just heard Shen Xingchens words, and asked lightly, Slap who?
Shen Xingchen froze from pure reflex. His gut instinct warned him that if he answered wrong, hell be (metaphorically) fucked. He shrank his neck and meekly said, Slap myself!!
Shen Xingsui next to him: ?
The viewers in the live broadcast room were also impressed by these two reactions:
[The pecking order here is very clear.]
[Hahaha, our Young Master Shen can be cowardly at times too!]
[What, you just sold your didi like this?]
[Suisui is confused now.]
All of the guests and crew chatted happily, only Anran nearby wasnt very happy. In his previous life, he was still very popular during this reality show. He had many good friends, he was very well-cared for by Actor Fu, he had many shots, and his missions were done smoothly. He was the natural center of attention, as he should be.
He still didnt understand why everything went to shit in this rebirth.
Not only did he fail to become the center of the crowd, he was completely ignored. He thought that with his previous lifes experience, everything would be far easier! Who knew his effort would be in vain and a waste of time!
Its all Shen Xingsuis fault
If it werent for him, maybe everything would be fine.
The director not far away came over and said, Since everyone has finished eating, we will take you to your respective lodgings. But before that, we will give you the relevant benefits.
We have benefits?
The director smiled and said, Of course, but only the winning group that completes the task can enjoy the benefits.
Everyone:
The director was technically telling the truth, but that did not diminish their bloodlust towards him.
It only amplified it.
The director asked the staff behind to take out a few trays. He introduced the items enthusiastically, Its like this, everyone. The winning team members can choose a reward item by themselves. As for the losing team well. The directors smile only got wider.
Shen Xingsui took a closer look, but he didnt expect it to be a mosquito repellent kit. Mosquito net, anti-bug spray, mosquito coil and others.
Fu Jinxiao said, You take it first.
Shen Xingsui refused, Its okay Teacher Fu, you can take whatever you want first.
Fu Jinxiao lazily glanced at him. He coaxed the youth with a gentle tone that was hard to deny, Just choose whichever you like. Ill defer to you.
Shen Xingsui finally became honest, and he picked out the mosquito net.
The experienced Instructor Li later lamented, Why do I suddenly have an ominous feeling when I see these things?
Tuya raised her head, Director, didnt you say that we are going to live in a luxurious suite?
The said director gave everyone a smile: Of course everyone, we will not tell lies. If we said its a luxurious suite, then it is. You will know when you get there. Dont worry~
Five minutes later
Everyone arrived at the southernmost part of the small town. It seemed to be an antique mansion of sorts. It had a majestic gate, painted in crimson; there were two red lanterns hung on it, swaying in the wind. Beside the entrance, there were two finely-carved stone lions. The vegetation was also lush and tall. On top of that, there were people dressed like servants carrying lanterns, as if welcoming their arrival.
The director gestured grandly, Everyone, welcome to Taohua2Peach Blossom. The same Taohua as the name of the town. Villa. According to legend, this is the summer resort where Emperor Shengzu lived in the south of the Yangtze River. For the next five days, we will temporarily stay here to experience the people and customs of Taohuawu Town!
The mansion very much lived to the legends. It did looked-like an Imperial residence of the olden days; antique, opulent, full of history.
There was also a small pond in the backyard, which would be beautiful during the day. The garden was full of flowers and unknown vegetation. However, because the climate here was hot, some moths and bugs could even be seen under the dim lights.
Shen Xingchen complained, I think a mosquito bit me just now.
Walking beside him, Shen Xingsui was concerned, Whats wrong?
Look. Shen Xingchen showed his arm, I have a big red bump on my arm. Those blood-suckers are definitely biting me!
Shen Xingsui saw that it was true. Shen Xingchen patted his neck and scratched his arm as he continued his complaint, Here comes another one! Arrghhh, why do they love me so much?
He looked at his younger brother beside him. He had no bites.
Just when Shen Xingsui was puzzled, a voice came from beside him to explain his doubts. It was actually Li Xuan. This persons popularity had always been relatively high, and he was the pillar of Bankrupt Entertainment. All of that companys top resources were all given to Li Xuan. He basically could walk sideways3do whatever he wants without repercussions. there.
Li Xuan explained, He has a physique that attracts mosquitoes. Its always been like this.
Shen Xingsui was a little surprised.
Li Xuan got a fan from nowhere, and handed it to Shen Xingchen, You will be much better if you use this fan, the mosquitoes will not be able to get close to you.
However, Shen Xingchen slapped the fan away, No, no, keep it to yourself!
Li Xuan could be considered a well-known person, but he was not angry when Shen Xingchen spoke in such a tone.
Only now did Shen Xingsui remember that Shen Xingchen had always disliked Li Xuan from before. He considered Li Xuan as his mortal enemy. During Starlight, they were fighting for the C position. And Shen Xingchen really gave his all to win that position.
If anything, this all made Shen Xingsui wonder what happened in the first place between them. However, this wasnt a topic thats easy to be breached.
The director interrupted his train of thoughts, Okay, here we go. Everyone take your room card, and go back to your own room.
Shen Xingchen had already been bitten several times, and his level of complaints only rose.
Seeing the numerous mosquito bites littered his older brothers body, Shen Xingsui pitied him, Is it itchy? You should feel better when you get to your room. Hurry up, go there.
Shen Xingchen nodded quickly: Okay, Ill do that.
The rooms that the program crew assigned to all of them were relatively close.
Shen Xingsui found his room according to the number. After pushing the door and entering, he found that the room was clean, except that one window was open. When he saw the opened window, he felt a little ominous.
It was currently a hot summer, so he went to the shower room at the back to take a shower. When he came out, he wanted to hang the mosquito net on the bed. While he was busy, he was disturbed by a mosquito.
The cameraman assigned to him also was back by his side.
Shen Xingsui mumbled to nobody in particular, The mosquitoes sure are plenty here thankfully, they didnt bite me too much. With this kind of situation, it would be hard to get a peaceful sleep here.
The cameraman commented, Shen Xingchen next door was bitten by mosquitoes several times
After hearing this, Shen Xingsui was both amused but also distressed.
Netizens in the live broadcast room also said with sympathy:
[Its extra hard for Shen Xingchen with that kind of mosquito-magnet physique]
[Yeah, the buzzing and itchiness really makes it hard to sleep.]
Shen Xingsui finally decided, Ill go and see him.
The door of Xingchens room was left open, so Shen Xingsui easily came in. Fu Jinxiao just happened to walk past his room, coming back from the shower room outside.
As soon as Shen Xingchen saw these two people, he seemed to see a savior. Without a hesitation, he ran over to Fu Jinxiao and said, Fu-ge, my savior, please spare me a tiiinyyy bit of your mosquito repellent spray
Fu Jinxiao knew that the young master couldnt bear this suffering. But then he remembered Shen Minglangs words of letting Shen Xingchen experience the way of the world.
You close this window later. Fu Jinxiao said as he pointed at it, Isnt this room equipped with an air conditioner for you? As soon as the temperature drops, the mosquitoes will naturally stop biting you.
Shen Xingchen whined without dignity, That wont work for me! My body is just weirdly attractive to mosquitoes like that. No matter how low the rooms temperature is, the mosquitoes will still come here to feast on my blood!!
Fu Jinxiao was firm on his decision to not spoil him, I cant give you my repellent spray. Just turn the temperature down, sleep while being covered fully by the quilt, and endure.
Shen Xingchens face was full of reluctance.
Shen Xingsui next to him said in a gentle voice, Its okay, just bear with it and itll pass.
Suddenly, Shen Xingchen had an idea, Suisui, do you have a mosquito net?
Shen Xingsui was taken aback.
Then lets sleep together. Shen Xingchen hugged him directly without a shame, entangling his arms around his brothers, Isnt this just right? Both you and I will not get bitten at all! Plus, its been a long time since we had a sleepover!
Actor Fu, who was about to leave, halted on his tracks.
