8 – Thе Рrоduсtiоn Теam Cаusеs Тrоublе
This was what Yе Сhen had instruсted Jiang Zhi tо sау.
Jiаng Zhi аlsо knew thаt Yе Сhеn and Jiang Ning wеre still engaged, sо shе cоuldn’t rеvеаl аny сlоsеness with him.
As ехpеcted, when shе said this, Нe Ziyu sighed hеlplеssly, “Wеll, whаt can wе do? After аll, Yе Сhеn is alreаdу tаkеn. It’s normal nоt to gеt too сlose in рrivate. Нonestly, I dоn’t knоw whо to еnvу more at this рoint.”
Тhе fans werе equallу satisfiеd with Jiаng Zhi’s еxрlanatiоn.
“Ye Chеn rеаlly knows how to keep his distanсе. It’s so much better whеn it’s а real cоuрle.”
“Girls, let’s be honest, isn’t Zhi just the cutest? Wanting to get close to her idol but holding back because he’s taken—this is what true fangirling looks like. I love it!”
“Our Zhi is so pure and adorable. Don’t cry, sweetie, mommy loves you!”
Whether fans or celebrities, the conversation quickly shifted to Jiang Zhi.
With her sweet smile and charming laughter, Jiang Zhi, who had once been a small presence in the entertainment industry, instantly gained countless new fans.
Just as everyone was laughing and chatting happily, the villa door was knocked.
“Who is it?” He Ziyu asked as he stood up to answer the door.
Everyone already knew who was outside, and the fans were instantly thrilled. The live chat exploded, with Jiang Ning’s name flooding the screen.
Amid everyone’s eager anticipation, He Ziyu opened the villa door.
The first thing to appear on camera was Jiang Ning’s flawlessly perfect face.
Although everyone already knew Jiang Ning and Ye Chen were outside, when such a breathtakingly beautiful face suddenly appeared on screen, countless viewers were left stunned, momentarily speechless.
The live chat went silent for a few seconds.
He Ziyu’s reaction was the most obvious—he simply stared at Jiang Ning in a daze.
On camera, Jiang Ning’s famously exquisite face looked even more stunning than usual.
The director of Happy Journey was known for being strict.
In all the shows he directed, filters were almost never used, as evident from the skin conditions of the other participants.
Celebrities, of course, took great care of their skin, which naturally looked better than that of ordinary people.
But when the camera zoomed in on Jiang Ning’s face, the fans were astonished. At that moment, viewers in front of their screens could only remember to swallow.
Jiang Ning’s cheeks were so smooth and flawless that not a single pore was visible—fair, tender, and radiating a youthful glow.
Her striking, enchanting features, combined with her outfit that day, exuded a captivating allure. Yet, her clear, bright eyes carried a hint of distant coolness, tempering her sensuality and giving her an ethereal, fragile beauty—both elegant and mesmerizing.
It was a face that made every woman feel inadequate in comparison.
At her concerts, Jiang Ning usually dressed conservatively and wore minimal makeup, yet her stunning beauty remained undeniable.
Today, however, she not only wore makeup but also donned a form-fitting strapless gown that accentuated her figure.
Her skin was a creamy white, and her exposed shoulders and collarbone were so alluring that even female fans felt their hearts race.
He Ziyu stared blankly at Jiang Ning on camera.
It wasn’t until Jiang Ning spoke, “Hello,” in a lazy, velvety voice that sent shivers down the spine, that He Ziyu snapped out of it—and the fans along with him.
“Ahhh, I can’t take it! My goddess is absolutely breathtaking!””Help, mom, my wife Ning is so devastatingly beautiful, she really leaves no room for others to breathe. Not only is she so pretty, but damn, her figure is actually this good too, wuwuwu, I want to have her.”
“Damn, you pervert in front, how can you swear in front of the goddess.”
“Suddenly I feel like Actor Ye isn’t worthy of my goddess, what should I do? 【dog head】 saving my life.”
“Although this is asking for trouble, but sister in front, same feeling!”
The celebrities couldn’t see the barrage, so naturally they didn’t know the fans had gone crazy over Jiang Ning’s beauty.
Seeing Ye Chen appear together with Jiang Ning, Jiang Zhi’s eyes flickered, and she subconsciously clenched her fingers.
He Ziyu’s reaction wasn’t much better than the fans in front of the screens. The previously eloquent guy now looked like a little quail with a flushed face, unable to utter a complete sentence.
“P-p-please, come in…”
Jiang Ning had countless memories and remembered He Ziyu, knowing he was her fan. She said gently, “Thank you.”
The goddess smiled and thanked him.
Boom!
He Ziyu felt like there was a mad dog breakdancing in his head, making him want to wildly shake his head and scream “ahhh.”
But it was too stupid, so he didn’t do it.
As Jiang Ning and Ye Chen entered the villa, everyone finally saw Gu Chi following behind.
Everyone present had some impression of Gu Chi but couldn’t remember who he was, wondering why such an exceptionally good-looking newcomer had suddenly been added.
Many fans still recognized Gu Chi.
After a few minutes of silence.
That small number of fans suddenly erupted with exclamations.
“Ahhh, this is Gu Chi, the champion of The Strongest Voice, ahhh, my Brother Chi has been resting for a year and is finally working again.”
Not many fans knew Gu Chi, but that didn’t stop everyone from thinking Gu Chi was really handsome, and standing beside goddess Jiang Ning, he wasn’t overshadowed at all.
For a moment, it made Ye Chen seem unworthy in terms of looks.
Ye Chen was also extremely good-looking, otherwise he wouldn’t have so many fans.
It was just that Jiang Ning and Gu Chi’s looks were too stunning, making him appear ordinary by comparison.
Jiang Ning proactively introduced Gu Chi: “It’s my first time participating in a variety show, I hope everyone will take care of me. This is Gu Chi, my junior from the same company, and I hope everyone will take care of him too.”
Compared to Ye Chen’s guilty conscience and Jiang Zhi’s initial act of pretending not to be familiar, Jiang Ning didn’t avoid it at all, actively recommending Gu Chi with a poised and generous attitude.
With cameras everywhere and countless eyes watching, Gu Chi didn’t want to cause trouble for Jiang Ning, so he behaved very politely: “Thank you, Senior Jiang. Hello everyone, I’m Gu Chi, I hope all the seniors will take care of me.”
Although his words were polite, his overall aura was there. Even though he was just a small newcomer, he made everyone feel he wasn’t someone to be trifled with, like an actor who had debuted many years ago with countless works.
Jiang Ning glanced at Jiang Zhi behind He Ziyu, her eyes containing a faint smile.
Excellent, with Gu Chi here, she really wasn’t controlled by the World Consciousness.
If it were before, she would have uncontrollably publicly picked on Jiang Zhi, embarrassing her like a foolish woman.
Now when she saw Jiang Zhi, she wouldn’t lose her mind at all.
This realization made Jiang Ning feel physically and mentally comfortable.
Xiao Jiu reminded Jiang Ning in her mind: “Host, the plot has deviated again, but there’s no electric shock punishment.”
“Mm, I know.” Jiang Ning was in a very good mood.
The fans: Mom, the goddess is killing me with her smile.This show’s production team is a troublemaker. Right after everyone finished introducing themselves, they started announcing tasks.
The first task is a bravery challenge.
Though called a bravery challenge, it’s actually a test of intelligence. On the very first night, everyone has to explore a haunted house to find treasures.
Teams of two will compete, and the winning team will get the most sumptuous dinner and the most comfortable accommodation tonight.
Originally planned for six people, now with Gu Chi added, one person is bound to be left out.
The production team stirs things up. Fans thought they could enjoy the chemistry between the movie emperor and the goddess, but the show requires drawing lots to decide the teams.
On the bullet comments, fans nearly exploded.
