BXBX NOVEL Chapter 4
The announcement of the variety show on Twitter caused a considerable uproar.
Apart from the famous actor, Zhou Moli, the guests that everyone looked forward to were Qin Yitan and Lu Mingyu. They had been at loggerheads with each other on the trending search rankings a few days ago.
“I’m looking forward to it! All-around handsome husband @Zhou Moli’s survival skills!”
“Ie anyone like me looking forward to Qin Yitan and Lu Mingyu fighting?”
“Mingyu! Mingyu! His face is born to be a celebrity. I’m looking forward to the new Lu Mingyu!”
“By the way, why is Lu Mingyu, who scolded and disrespected people on the red carpet, still on a variety show? Why isn’t my idol in this variety show? I don’t understand.”
“Lu Mingyu is an ideal man. I’m extremely looking forward to Lu Mingyu’s variety show! His face is extremely handsome!”
...
Three days later, the program officially started broadcasting.
There were six members in the program, three men and three women. For the men, there was Zhou Moli, who was the male lead of “Fallen Glory,” the recently popular drama. There were also Qin Yitan, who had made his debut on a talent show, and Lu Mingyu, who had become popular five years ago because of a song he composed himself.
For the female cast, other than Lu Yang who was a nobody, there was also Lin Xinmeng, who had recently become a hit in a school web drama, and the well-known Wen Jian, who debuted as the center of the girl group.
Lin Xinmeng had just reincarnated and discovered that Zhou Moli would participate in this variety show. She came along by using some connections. While she was getting Zhou Moli to familiarize himself with her face, their interaction had turned this survival variety show into a romance variety show.
When the group of netizens saw it, they exclaimed that their interaction was so sweet.
The wilderness was shot in a wild jungle near the sea.
Reefs are struck by waves. The trees appeared even more luxurious due to the broad horizon, the crystal-clear seawater, and the gentle sunlight from the blue sky that fell on the leaves.
The production team set up the equipment to prepare for the upcoming shooting.
Chen Su was making a pact with Lu Yang, especially telling her what she could and could not say in the variety show, what she should and should not do.
He nagged for more than ten minutes, and Lu Yang nodded politely every now and then.
The first time Chen Su met Lu Yang, he wanted to sign her into the company, but he retracted this thought after conversing with her.
Lu Yang had the looks, but her brain did not seem normal.
It was already troubling enough to bring Lu Mingyu along. If there was another one... Just thinking about it, Chen Su would bawl his eyes out.
However, he felt that there was something different about Lu Yang this time.
However, Chen Su was unable to pinpoint it exactly.
Not far away, Lin Xinmeng was greeting the program staff in advance with a gentle smile on her face. She could hear the whispers of the people beside her.
“Whoa! That girl is so pretty! Is she a celebrity? How come I’ve never seen her before?”
“Nah. She’s Lu Mingyu’s sister, Lu Yang. She’s also a guest on the show. But she’s too good-looking. I heard from the others that she doesn’t even need to put on makeup and comes here bare-faced.”
“What?! Are the Lu family’s genes that strong? Lu Mingyu’s looks are already heaven-defying, but I didn’t expect his sister to be as good-looking as him. Are their ancestors’ gods?”
...
“Lu... Yang?” Lin Xinmeng mused.
Lin Xinmeng glanced up, and her heart sharply tightened.
She saw a girl in a simple t-shirt, black pants, and a thin coat sitting there. Behind her was a lush forest, and the dark green made her skin look even more flawless. Lu Yang had a stunning face with superb facial features, as was evident at first glance.
Lin Xinmeng excused herself apologetically as she walked toward Lu Yang. The closer she got, the more incredulous she felt.
“Lu Yang actually didn’t have any makeup on! She really had no makeup on,” she thought.
“These are the things to take note of...” Chen Su was listing out the things that Lu Yang could say and couldn’t when he saw Lin Xinmeng walking over. He raised his head and looked at her.
Lin Xinmeng managed to hold back her astonishment and forced out what she believed to be a very pleasant smile. “Hello, Teacher Chen. I’m Lin Xinmeng.”
Chen Su’s ability had always been well-known in the industry and carried a lot of weight.
If it was another manager, with Lu Mingyu’s personality, he would have been despised by all the netizens a long time ago, not to mention that Lu Mingyu was still in the top position among celebrities.
Chen Su sized up the person who came. She was wearing a small white dress with small white shoes, and her thick black hair fell over her shoulders. She looked very pure and simple.
He had learned about the guests participating in the show in advance, so he had a general idea of Lin Xinmeng’s background.
Chen Su nodded at her.
Lin Xinmeng looked at Lu Yang and pretended to be surprised. “Lu Yang, I didn’t expect to see you again! This is great!”
“You are?” Lu Yang looked at her, confused.
Lin Xinmeng’s countenance grew uncomfortable. She quickly adjusted her expression and spoke slowly and softly, “I’m Lin Xinmeng. We were in the same class in high school.”
“Oh, I see. Long time no see.” Lu Yang seemed to have remembered her.
At this point, Lu Yang suddenly recalled that she was indeed in the same high school as Lin Xinmeng.
There was a simple description in the original novel. During a class gathering, someone compared the glamorous Lin Xinmeng and the wrecked Lu Yang.
“After graduating high school, I went to Film University and haven’t seen you since.”
Lin Xinmeng smiled and continued, “I didn’t expect you to be participating in this show. I hope that we can help each other during the show. If you need anything, you can look for me at any time.”
“Okay, sure,” Lu Yang replied casually.
Lin Xinmeng did not chat any further after catching a glimpse of Zhou Moli from the corner of her eye. Lu Yang was able to have some peace from this.
Chen Su cast a quick glance towards Lin Xinmeng, who was enthralledly observing Zhou Moli. He naturally understood Lin Xinmeng’s intentions since he knew how crucial connections were in the entertainment industry.
“Do you have a good relationship with her?” Chen Su asked Lu Yang.
Lu Yang said calmly, “She was the top student for the first and a half years in the three years of high school. Do you know why she wasn’t in the end?”
...
“Why?” Chen Su asked.
“Because I came,” Lu Yang replied.
Chen Su was rendered speechless.
He mused, “How can the relationship between two people competing for the first place be good?”
