When the Side Character Gets a System and Travels through Difference Worlds-Chapter 55: Chi Mo 9
Tan You herself was a bit of a country bumpkin. Even back in Han Tingting’s world, she had never been on a plane. She had, however, watched Han Tingting fly all over the world.
Now that she was experiencing it for herself, Tan You found it all very novel. Gao Jing noticed Tan You’s gaze kept drifting to the window and suggested, "Want to switch seats?"
Tan You hesitated. "Would that be an inconvenience?"
Gao Jing teased, "Not at all. I’ve flown so much over the years that I’m sick of it. I’d be happy to switch. You’ve never been on a plane before?"
Tan You was a little embarrassed. "Yeah, never. My world used to be very small."
Gao Jing was very cheerful. "Then that’s all the more reason to get out and see the world! Don’t let some man fool you with a few cheap tricks."
Tan You thought of how Xu Jike later took Chi Mo bungee jumping and to try all sorts of extreme sports, and she suddenly smiled. "That’s right. We should get out and see the world. Once you broaden your horizons, you won’t care so much about what other people have."
Gao Jing high-fived her. "Exactly! I heard they have skiing here. Should we go check it out later?"
Tan You said, "Sure! Let’s ask Wenwen and Lin Meng. The more, the merrier."
Zhou Wenwen took off her eye mask. "I heard that! Let’s all go together. I know how to ice skate. Want to go ice skating later?"
Lin Meng said, "Okay! You can teach me then, I don’t know how at all."
Tan You blinked. "I don’t know how to do anything either."
Gao Jing was full of enthusiasm. "Not knowing how won’t stop us from having fun! Who says rookies can’t do this stuff?"
The female guests were all getting along so well, it was a joy to watch. Besides, the show’s main theme was "warm and healing." Watching constant catfights gets old after a while.
Gao Jing said wistfully, "This cold weather is perfect for hot springs. Let’s all go to a hot spring together after filming for the show is over."
When it came to knowing how to have fun, no one here could hold a candle to Gao Jing. Tan You, of course, had no objections. She liked being around outgoing and lively people because it was so relaxing.
Zhou Wenwen and Lin Meng certainly weren’t going to object. Soon enough, they had a whole series of plans scheduled for after the show’s filming wrapped up.
Zhou Wenwen sighed. "Unfortunately, I still have classes at school, so I can’t be away for too long." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
Lin Meng also sighed. "Me too."
Tan You didn’t want to make them jealous. She might not have a job to go back to, but she had her own tasks. During the show’s filming, she had to practice her dance until she perfected it, which was no small amount of work.
They arrived in H Province at high noon. None of them made the rookie mistake of under-dressing; when they left the airport, everyone was fully bundled up. Tan You was so wrapped up that only her eyes were visible.
"We’re going skiing this afternoon? There’s a ski resort near the guesthouse." Once they were on the bus, the director started going over the schedule. Although it was billed as a dating show, the production team also had a job to do: promote the filming locations as much as possible to contribute to the local tourism industry.
"I have no objections," Gao Jing was the first to say. Once she agreed, no one else was going to be a party pooper. Tan You certainly wouldn’t object. She wasn’t feeling unwell or anything, and she was happy for the chance to see something new.
In this group, only Xu Jike knew how to ski. As soon as he heard the production team mention skiing, he was eager to go. ’I can teach Chi Mo later,’ he thought.
Unfortunately for him, while his plan was nice, would Tan You give him the chance? The moment they arrived at the ski resort, she and the other girls each found their own instructor, resolutely denying Xu Jike any opportunity to curry favor.
Xu Jike gritted his teeth. ’Am I some kind of monster? Is it really necessary to avoid me like this?’ But he had the decorum expected of an adult, so he naturally wouldn’t try to force his way over at a time like this.
This was exactly what Tan You wanted. ’We’re all here to have fun, so let’s just be happy. Why does everything always have to be about lovey-dovey stuff?’
Tan You herself was not athletically gifted. Despite having an excellent memory, if she was going to fall, she was going to fall. And every time she fell, it was in a completely different way.
After a while, almost everyone in the area was watching Tan You’s stylish tumbles. There was the time she shot out with a WHOOSH, crashed into the safety netting, and bounced back. There were also times she just fell flat on her butt.
She fell sideways, too. Even more ridiculously, one time Tan You plunged face-first right into a snowdrift. By the time Gao Jing, Zhou Wenwen, and Lin Meng dug her out, Tan You had already accepted her fate.
Shaking the snow off herself, Tan You waved her hand dismissively. "Forget it, I’m done. I’ll just watch you guys."
’Do they really think I’m that thick-skinned?’ She could already hear a lot of people laughing.
Zhou Wenwen tried to hold back her laughter, but she just couldn’t. Tan You said with a deadpan expression, "Go ahead and laugh. It’s not like you three will make a difference."
Since she was sure none of this would be edited into the final show, Tan You didn’t feel any psychological burden. ’Besides,’ she thought, ’who doesn’t fall when they’re first learning to ski? This is totally normal.’
It wasn’t just the guests who were laughing; the production team couldn’t stop either. The cameraman following Chi Mo was particularly wicked; he had captured every single one of her expressions and movements.
Even in such a comedic scene, the cameraman thought Chi Mo was exceptionally beautiful. Especially when she was yelling for people to get out of the way, it didn’t detract from her beauty at all. In fact, it made her seem even more vibrant.
The director had already made up his mind. This segment with Chi Mo absolutely had to go into the final cut. There were too many aloof, ice-queen beauties these days; a down-to-earth beauty like her was rare. It would definitely be a breath of fresh air.
After giving up on skiing, Tan You stood quietly to the side. She had completely given up on this sport. Some people, even if they changed bodies, were just not born athletic, and that was that.
With Tan You no longer playing, everyone felt like a lot of the fun was gone. Okay, it was a bit mean to say, but Tan You had just provided a ton of comedic relief.
Zhou Wenwen had also given up early on. "Let’s go ice skating later."
Tan You replied, "Okay! I just hope I don’t fall as miserably then. It doesn’t hurt, but it’s a little embarrassing."
Zhou Wenwen couldn’t help but laugh. "Don’t worry. If it really comes to it, I’ll just push you around on the ice."
Tan You said, "Sure! Let’s set a time to go together later."
They spent a few hours at the ski resort until twilight began to fall, and the production team started gathering everyone to head back to the guesthouse. The thought of getting to go to the hot springs after dinner made Tan You’s steps feel much lighter.
Perhaps because they had all gone skiing together that afternoon, the guests were much more talkative. Of course, Tan You was still the most silent one. But strangely, everyone thought this was perfectly fine, because while others were talking, she would always look at the speaker and give some kind of response.
Since this was a dating show, cooking was an inevitable part of it. The kitchen has always been a strategic battleground on dating shows, and this one was no exception. For instance, Tan You could tell that Xiang Zhe was a little interested in Gao Jing. Since he was in the kitchen cooking with her, Tan You wasn’t so clueless as to go and interrupt.
