Chapter 169: Age Matters
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Pretending to be in distress, Tian Mei turned her doe eyes toward Lu Shi and said, โLu Shi, I get seasick. Could you help me get my baggage off the ferry?โ
Taking pride in his reputation as a considerate manโespecially with cameras rollingโLu Shi offered Tian Mei a gentle smile. He said, โIt would be my pleasure to assist you, Tian Mei.โ
After uttering those words, Lu Shi boarded the ferry again to retrieve Tian Meiโs baggage. At the same time, the live-streaming chatbox erupted.
[OMG! I just let out a wolf howl! Lu Shi is too hot!]
[Super hot!]
[Heโs handsome, rich, and thoughtful. Heโs the man of my dreams!] [Dream on, Lu Shi is mine! I want to have his babies!]
[Am I the only one who thinks Tian Mei is being a bit too theatrical?] novelbuddy.c om
[No, youโre not the only one. I think so too.]
[Absolutely, Tian Mei is overdoing it; itโs annoying.]
[Flirting is one thing, but sheโs treating people like manual labor. She brought quite a lot of stuff herself.]
[I bet $10 that by the time Tian Mei reaches the destination, she will have, at most, one suitcase leftโor none.]
As the live chat continued to display mixed opinions about Tian Mei, she remained blissfully unaware. Even some of the crew were rolling their eyes at her, tired of her melodrama.
Lu Shi could only carry two suitcases at a time, and Tian Mei had four. After making two trips, he was starting to get irritated. He began to feel as if he were being reduced to a mere laborer by Tian Mei. Once he finished unloading the baggage, a crew member came over with a map. โHereโs the map for each team. You all have the same one. You need to reach the red dot in the middleโitโs the safe zone where you can rest for the night.โ
The maps were distributed among the artists. When Tian Mei received hers, she looked distressed. โLu Shi, Iโm not familiar with survival games, and I donโt understand this map.โ
Tian Mei could understand, of course, but she didnโt want to use her brain. She knew Lu Shi would take care of everything responsibly. Lu Shi glanced at the map and explained, โThere are three routes; we can choose one.โ
The director smirked and thought, โThis is exactly what I wanted. I wanted the three groups to take different routes, making the show more interesting.โ โHow you choose is up to you,โ said the crew member.
โWhy canโt we go together?โ Tian Mei pouted. โI was hoping we could get to know each other better. Lu Shi even mentioned his next project involves animal caretaking. If we walk together, he can discuss it with you, Big Sister Xia Xin.โ
Xia Xin felt even more exasperated, especially when called โbig sisterโ by someone older than her.
โYou got something wrong,โ interjected Jing MO, who had been silent till now.
Tian Mei was elated to be addressed by Jing Mo. โReally? You know so much, Jing Mo. What did I say wrong? Iโll correct it immediately!โ
โXia Xin is younger than you,โ Jing MO said.
Chuckles broke out among the crew. Tian Mei had been a child star and had always called everyone older than her โbig brotherโ or โbig sister.โ But in this case, Xia Xin was actually younger.
Tian Mei looked visibly upset. She said, โIโm sorry. Iโm just used to it. You wonโt hold it against me, will you, Xia Xin?โ
โOf course not,โ Xia Xin replied, stealing a glance at Jing Mo.
โJing Moโs straightforwardness was endearing. I was quite drawn to itโฆ Drawn?โ
A tiny flutter seized Xia Xinโs heart. โWas I attracted to Jing MO?โ
Tian Mei bit her lip, eyes moistening, looking forlorn. This roused her supporters in the chat to a frenzy.
[Why is Xia Xin targeting our Tian Mei since yesterday?]
[Seriously, Tian Mei has already given in so much, and sheโs still not satisfied?
Does she want Tian Mei to embarrass herself to be happy?]
[Sheโs too vicious. I think her reputation as a compassionate zookeeper is just for show.]
[Thatโs it, Iโm going to complain to the director. How could he let Xia Xin make life difficult for our Tian Mei?]
[Oh, please, what targeting? Xia Xin simply said โItโs okay,โ and you call that targeting? I question your intelligence.]
[Exactly, sheโs been over-the-top since she got here. Itโs like she expects the world to cater to her.]
[Xia Xin is younger than Tian Mei.. Whatโs wrong with stating the facts?]
