Chapter 284 - 284: Miss Wang’s Mission
Qi Xu’s face darkened. He had long heard that Ji Jingchi had a backer and was arrogant and wilful in the industry, but he did not expect him to be so disrespectful.
Seeing the three of them run to another place to dig for winter bamboo shoots, he slowly followed with a basket on his back, feeling a little frustrated.
Qi Xu said, “I wonder how Team Good Bamboo Shoot is doing now. We’ve been digging antiques for so long, so we should be far behind them. I don’t think we need to continue digging winter bamboo shoots. We can just go back. We’ll lose anyway.”
If it was any other time, he would definitely not complain like this in front of the camera.
But now, he urgently needed another contradiction to divert the audience’s attention.
As expected, Qi Xu’s fans no longer argued about Qi Xu’s lack of understanding of the law. Instead, they blamed Gu Yang, Ji Jingchi, and Ruan Chu for not having any team awareness and good sportsmanship. They wasted time and dragged Qi Xu down.
Gu Yang placed a winter bamboo shoot that had just been dug out and was stained with soil into the basket. Her tone was still gentle. “Before the last moment, it’s still unknown who will win. But if we admit defeat now, we will definitely lose.”
Ruan Chu glanced at Qi Xu. She didn’t have a good impression of this law-blind fresh meat, so she didn’t stand on ceremony. “If Senior Qi Xu can speak less now and do more work, our chances of winning will be higher.”
Ji Jingchi carried the basket of winter bamboo shoots on his back and looked at Qi Xu with a faint smile. “Although we can’t get a single cultural relic, the country won’t treat us badly. At least there are banners for enthusiastic citizens. We didn’t work for nothing just now.”
Qi Xu, “…” Who wanted a banner for being a conscientious citizen?!
However, after hearing what Gu Yang and Ruan Chu said, he didn’t dare to continue slacking off and could only laugh dryly. “I was just saying. It’s fine.
Winning or losing isn’t important. The most important thing is participation.” However, when his back was facing the camera, a cold glint flashed across his eyes.
His gaze landed on Gu Yang.
Before going on the variety show, Miss Wang gave him a mission…
He had also heard from Miss Wang that Gu Yang had hemophilia and was of a special blood type.
If she accidentally bled, she would bleed non-stop. They were deep in the mountains inside bamboo forests. If Gu Yang was injured, even if they called an ambulance to send her to the hospital immediately, she would lose too much blood.
Her blood type was extremely rare. Most hospitals did not have a blood bank with this blood type. That was why the Gu family privately adopted an orphan to be her living blood bank.
Jin City was far from Ning City. It would take at least two hours to take a plane.
He didn’t want to make a move so quickly, but if Gu Yang hadn’t been a busybody, his image wouldn’t have collapsed.
Ji Jingchi looked at his watch and looked at Gu Yang and Ruan Chu inquiringly.
“There’s still half an hour left. Let’s go back the way we came. If we’re late, Chen Gou will definitely give us zero for this.”
Gu Yang and Ruan Chu had no objections. They had walked quite far, so it would take time to walk back.
Qi Xu also nodded.
At this moment, one of the straps on Qi Xu’s basket suddenly snapped.
Most of the winter bamboo shoots in the basket fell out.
Ruan Chu frowned. “Why is the basket strap broken?”
Qi Xu was shocked and quickly put down the wicker basket. He checked and said, “It’s the place where the straps are connected to the wicker basket that’s broken. Perhaps it’s too heavy and it’s not tied properly.”
Gu Yang and Ruan Chu saw this and picked up the winter bamboo shoots together.
“The winter bamboo shoots are indeed heavy. Since the straps are broken, we can only carry them.” Qi Xu simply placed the straps in the basket and pressed them under the winter bamboo shoots while carrying the basket himself.
However, the basket was relatively large and not easy to carry. It was harder to transport.
Hence, he put down the basket and looked at Gu Yang.. “Miss Gu, can you help me carry it?”
