Chapter 49: Chapter 49: The New Grand Gesture

When the drop tower suddenly plunged down, Mu Ran had no thoughts of dignity or completing the mission in her mind; she only had one thought: I want to live!!!

After plummeting to the ground suddenly.

Mu Ran stared blankly, regretting a thousand times joining this show. Others participated to gain followers and get better endorsement deals and acting roles, but she joined the reality show purely to torture herself!

When the staff helped her undo the seatbelt, Mu Ran got up to leave.

Suddenly—

She bowed deeply to the audience.

Her legs had gone weak, and she had no choice.

[Hahahahahahaha, I really feel for Director Mu, hahahahahaha…]

[I’m a hater, but I really love this show. I just enjoy these episodes that torture Director Mu, hahahahaha…]

[Laughing crazy, Director Mu, we know you’re scared, we know you’re putting up a strong front, but we won’t laugh at you unless we can’t help it!!!]

[Hey, Director Mu, you’re really something, bowing like that, what are you trying to do? I know you’re being polite, but no need to overdo it.]

[Hahahahahahaha…]

…

The audience burst into laughter.

Everyone was very joyful.

Except for Mu Ran herself!

Mao Ziyang quickly helped her up, seeing her face as pale as paper. He showed genuine concern, “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine… ugh…” Mu Ran wanted to vomit.

[Good thing I didn’t eat.]

[I can feel that Mu Ran is really scared. If it were someone else, I’d feel sorry, but with you, I just can’t feel that way. I’m still laughing so happily, I feel guilty, but I can’t help it. I can’t control my joy!]

[Hahaha, this program is like a trial for Director Mu. Last episode was constant exercise, this one is challenging her fear of heights and ghosts, awesome!]

…

Mu Ran eventually didn’t vomit.

But her face wasn’t looking any better.

Chu Xijin didn’t bother about the task. He went to get some water for Auntie to drink slowly and gently patted her back, feeling more and more guilty, “Auntie, I’m sorry. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have participated in this show.”

Seeing Auntie so uncomfortable, Chu Xijin’s eyes welled with tears, about to cry.

Mu Ran waved her hand, “Don’t cry, it’s no big deal.”

“But…” Chu Xijin didn’t want to see Auntie uncomfortable and suffering.

“This is a reality show. We’ve been paid, so we should pay the corresponding price. This price may not be that satisfying, but we can’t quit or slack off because the penalty fee is really expensive!” Mu Ran said seriously.

Chu Xijin: “…”

Suddenly, he didn’t feel like crying as much.

[I thought Director Mu was going to say some profound truth, but the last sentence was about the penalty fee being expensive. You never disappoint.]

[Is this a show that Xiao Jin wanted to participate in?]

[Director Mu really isn’t slacking off, though she complains verbally, the show effects are not lacking at all. On the contrary, she knows what we like to watch, and everyone can check out Director Mu’s expression packs and short video edits online. The view counts have reached terrifying levels!]

…

Just Mu Ran looking scared on the drop tower, and her embarrassed moments in the haunted house, are enough for black fans to edit crazily and make promotional videos, especially her knee-going-weak collapse!

Absolutely stunning.

The show’s popularity is soaring like crazy.

Yang Yingying looked at the data, and then at Mu Ran’s complexion.

She felt ashamed.

The show was planned by the whole team and the investors together. She knew Mu Ran was afraid of ghosts, but she really didn’t know she was afraid of heights. She thought Mu Ran just didn’t like playing overly thrilling projects and didn’t expect it to turn out like this.

Yang Yingying knew her participation was not only because of Xiao Jin but also because she was constantly in her ear about how exhausting this show was, and how much she invested in it.

So when she was short of the last group of guests.

She came.

As a sister, she came without hesitation, yet she treated her this way.

Yang Yingying really felt like she was not a human!

Tears streamed down.

Mu Ran saw her expression and felt utterly disgusted, “Why are you crying like a funeral wailer? I’m currently filming the show, and nothing unexpected happened. If you’re really that sad, you can terminate the contract with me; I wouldn’t mind.”

“No, you keep filming.”

Seeing that Mu Ran could still scold her, Yang Yingying felt relieved.

Tears were immediately put away.

She went back to doing what she had to do.

Mu Ran: “…”

This is probably what plastic sisterhood is like.

The morning activities were somewhat thrilling.

Mu Ran ultimately finished last, performing poorly in each thrilling challenge.

So she could only have two dishes for lunch.

Xiong Zunxiang noticed Xiao Jin had only two dishes, while he had four, and discussed it with his dad, “Dad, can we give a dish to Xiao Jin?”

“Aren’t you hungry?”

“But I don’t want Xiao Jin to feel bad. When I see Xiao Jin uncomfortable, I feel uncomfortable.” Xiong Zunxiang lowered his head, looking so pitiful that he had a double chin.

Xiong Guobing nodded appreciatively, “Go ahead.”

“Okay!” Xiong Zunxiang instantly brightened up, picked a plate of shrimp dumplings, and handed it to Xiao Jin, “Xiao Jin, you treated me to snacks while filming yesterday, so today I’ll give you a plate of snacks.”

“Xiao Jin, me too!” Zhu Wenzhen came over with a bowl of iced jelly, “I think you’re really hot, drink something cool.”

“Brother Xiao Jin, I have something for you too.”

The little sister brought over tofu balls.

Mao Xiaomiao didn’t say much, but she brought a big bowl of noodles to Chu Xijin.

Initially, there were only two dishes on the table.

Now it was packed with dishes.

Mu Ran laughed, “You little fellows get along quite well, don’t you?”

The little sister boldly said to her, “I really like Brother Xiao Jin a lot.”

Mu Ran raised an eyebrow, “Is that so?”

The little sister nodded vigorously, “Yes!”

Xiong Zunxiang and Zhu Wenzhen also said they liked Xiao Jin. Zhu Wenzhen even said, “I want to invite Xiao Jin to my house, is that okay?”

“Hmm? To your house?” Mu Ran was surprised.

“Yeah, I said before that I’ll take Xiao Jin to visit our warehouse. I just asked my mom, and she agreed. Xiao Jin, would you like to come?” Zhu Wenzhen liked Xiao Jin a lot from the last show.

This show, he’s been taking care of him all the time.

He liked him even more!

Mu Ran shrugged, “It depends on whether Xiao Jin wants to.”

Chu Xijin nodded, “I’d like that!”

“Then go ahead, but don’t stay too long, at most three days, after that I need to take you to find a kindergarten. You’ll be starting soon,” Mu Ran heard that even kindergartens require parents to attend an interview round, such a hassle.

“Okay!” Chu Xijin nodded obediently.

The children straightforwardly sat in a circle, eating together.
