Chapter 201
Zhong Yuhuan said in her heart that she should not let them touch her waist next time.
People say that you can't touch a man's head.
A woman's waist is the same.
Zhong Yuhuan awkwardly entered the bathroom.
When Zhong Yuhuan finished washing up, she still didn't see Huo Chengming come back. Zhong Yuhuan was really sleepy, thinking that they had been mixing in this area for a few years already, there wouldn't be any worrisome safety issues. So she slept until the next day.
The second day, they were to go on a cruise and to Whitby afterwards.
It was a bit cold on the lake in winter.
Zhong Yuhuan didn't wear some dress today. She obediently wore a down jacket. She didn't have the burdens of being an idol, so she can do whatever she wants. She didn't even bother combing her hair and just stuffed it all into the scarf. She went downstairs wrapped in a scarlet scarf matched with a white down jacket and snow boots.

Huo Chengming was waiting downstairs.
He was still wearing a suit. With a cashmere coat draped over his elbow and standing tall, he had an indescribable aura. Probably the aura of an overbearing president?
Zhong Yuhuan walked over, "The others haven't arrived yet, let's wait for them."
After speaking, she was about to ask him when he came back. However, Huo Chengming suddenly reached out and very naturally took her backpack.
Zhong Yuhuan: "?"
"Are we not eating breakfast at the hotel today?" Yin Qiqi's voice rang out from behind.
Zhong Yuhuan turned around and realized that everyone had already come down. A look of surprise flashed across Ge Mei and Yin Qiqi's faces. They knew that Zhong Yuhuan, Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming knew each other, but they didn't know that they were this familiar. Who could imagine that Mr. Huo, with such a handsome but cold face, could not only help carry someone's skirt, but even carry their bags. The backpack he was carrying didn't fit with his outfit at all.
This really is a one-package service! The service of a doorman at a five-star hotel is just like that right?
"Not at the hotel, let's go." Zhong Yuhuan quickly recovered and said.
The others covered up their surprise and followed her out the door.
The cars were already parked outside.
Huo Chengming pointed and said, "The cars there are apologies that the boss took initiative to give, no fees and each are equipped with a driver." He turned his head towards the program group and asked, "This doesn't count as a violation right?"
The program group, "It doesn't count."
They said that but still couldn't help but wipe their sweat.
It really is the first time that a reality show has been played with like this.
What type of luck do they even have? If it's not a discount, then it's a compensation. When other people record a reality show, there's always some times when they have a lack of money, but this group has a surplus of it! This makes people feel unhappy because of how poor they are.
"Is there anything you want to eat, or souvenirs to play around with? If so, we'll stop to buy them, everyone still has extra pocket money," Zhong Yuhuan waved the money in her hand.
Ge Mei couldn't help but sigh, "This is the easiest show I've recorded!"
Gu Yuling is a person who knows how to look at the situation and immediately added, "Me too!"
That company said that they'd made a comprehensive compensation, and they really did do it.
While they were having breakfast in the restaurant, the drivers and the cars just waited outside.
When everyone slowly finished their breakfast, the drivers drove them to a nearby mall to buy some souvenirs, then hurried to Thames River to board the ship.
The cruise ship that Zhong Yuhuan booked was also pretty high-end, the highest grade among cruises. There is a restaurant on board where you can order desserts, fruits, or drinks. Listening to cello music while feeling the slight drunken atmosphere; indulging in the feeling of both sides.
This time just play to your desires.
This is something that couldn't be easier.
Yin Qiqi didn't want to leave.
But it wouldn't be good for her to directly voice her thoughts, in case of getting a barrage of criticism when the show broadcasts. So she turned and asked Zhong Yuhuan, "Is Whitby fun?"
Chapter 202
"Whitby is the hometown of vampires. Isn't it more interesting compared to the House of Parliament or Big Ben? It was written in the booklet the day before yesterday."
Yin Qiqi felt embarrassed again.
She felt like she was ignorant once again in front of Zhong Yuhuan.
"This place also has the well-known coastal city. Although it's hard to see the warm sunshine and blue waves in this season, you should still be able to see the whole town coated in silver." Li Jinyuan added lightly.
Yin Qiqi immediately shut her mouth and didn't dare to speak.
She started understanding.
Zhong Yuhuan clearly knows this place far better than her…

When they finished the cruise on Thames River, they went by car, switched to a train, and then they finally arrived at Whitby.
Whitby's sky was exceptionally blue.
It's not the same as fog. There is warm sunlight that falls onto your body and the refreshing smell of snow. It was like you could hear the sound of seagulls if you slightly squinted your eyes and walked slower.
They participated in the local gothic festival on their first night.
Zhong Yuhuan made a call and soon, someone sent gothic clothes and accessories for them to wear.
After putting the clothes on, it was like a grand masquerade.
They had an indulgent party with the locals until the second day, and then left separately to rest at the hotel.
When they woke up in the afternoon, the group sunbathed and slowly walked along the coastline until they reached the place where they sold train tickets. Then, they experienced the feeling of riding on an old steam train…
The filming for the second season ended on that note.
When Zhong Yuhuan returned back to the country, she immediately felt overwhelmed.
It's not that she's tired.
But there's too many restrictions she couldn't enjoy, so Zhong Yuhuan can't help but feel stifled.
She sent Yang Sen a message and then went to sleep.
[The third recording, whoever wants to go can go!]
The post-production of the second season was in full swing.
At this time, Zhong Yuhuan was accompanied by Huo Chengming to visit the recording for the final episode of Li Jinyuan's talent show.
As she was getting out of the car, Zhong Yuhuan stopped Huo Chengming, "Wait a bit."
Huo Chengming turned to her.
Zhong Yuhuan took a black mask from her pocket and put it on Huo Chengming, "We're also famous people now, if we were to walk out just like this, the influence would be very bad."
At that moment, the pose looked like she was hugging him.
Huo Chengming seems to have felt her finger against his ear.
His gaze dropped, and the idea of catching her suddenly appeared.
Grab her hand!
But before Huo Chengming could follow through on his idea, Zhong Yuhuan retracted her hand. She also lowered her head to put on a mask and sunglasses. She was wrapped like a ball and slowly exited the car.
"Let's go, older brother." she patted his elbow then grabbed his arm.
With that pat, Huo Chengming's thought dissipated.
What was I thinking.
Huo Chengming's throat moved.
He felt like before he himself noticed, he was on the verge of danger.
But where did the danger come from.
Huo Chengming didn't have an accurate perception.
He raised his head and saw that Zhong Yuhuan was already in front of him by two steps.
Huo Chengming suddenly sped up. He took a huge step forward and clasped Zhong Yuhuan's wrist.
He used a bit too much force. Zhong Yuhuan abruptly turned her head and looked at him with doubt.
Huo Chengming met her eyes, lowered his voice and coarsely said, "Obediently follow older brother."
Zhong Yuhuan helplessly nodded, "Mmm, okay!"
The two had obtained workers' permits from Li Jinyuan long ago, so they put them on and entered the backstage.
The more you go in, the more you could see all different types of handsome guys along the way. Zhong Yuhuan turned her head and looked intensely. The entertainment industry has so many good-looking people…
Zhong Yuhuan couldn't help thinking that if she couldn't meet a suitable marriage partner in the future, keeping two fresh meats wouldn't be bad!
Chapter 203
This idea sounds a bit shocking, but thinking about it, Zhong Chi already passed away and there's no one to manage her. Zhong Yuhuan felt like this idea had a lot of potential.
With this thought, Zhong Yuhuan's steps became lighter.
After reaching the backstage, everyone was busy and nobody paid her and Huo Chengming any attention.
But Wei Jie saw them at a glance and went to greet them. After all, they had already met many times before. He hurried forward, "Miss Zhong!"
Following Li Jinyuan's fame, Wei Jie had long become unordinary. His every move would catch countless others' attention.
Whenever he went, others would follow, so they soon went towards Zhong Yuhuan as well.
In the blink of an eye, Wei Jie arrived.
Support our newn0vel(0rg)
He finally saw Huo Chengming at the side and hurriedly greeted, "Mr. Huo."
When everyone heard the two names, they immediately guessed their identities.
Isn't this Zhong Yuhuan and Huo Chengming who recorded the reality show with Li Jinyuan? Why did the two of them come together? Their relationship seems to be unusual.
By visiting Li Jinyuan backstage, it clearly shows that their relationship isn't normal!
Look, even Wei Jie sounds like he's familiar with them!
The staff at this location, including the contestants, all chased《Time Travel》and read all sorts of comments on the internet.
Seeing the real deal appear, everyone had a slight feeling of finding gossip!
Two boys even went over, smiled and greeted Zhong Yuhuan and Huo Chengming. Then, they passed a phone to Zhong Yuhuan and asked, "Can we take a photo together?"
Huo Chengming's face turned black for a moment.
It was only because the mask and sunglasses covered it, so nothing showed.
But Zhong Yuhuan nodded in a kind-hearted manner, "Sure."
She also found it quite fresh.
When she was abroad before, there were never a few people wanting to take a photo together, but there were much less in China.
But after taking a photo with only one of the boys, Li Jinyuan finished his makeup and came outside.
"Huanhuan!" He took two to three steps to Zhong Yuhuan and directly pushed the other boy aside.
That boy immediately yelled, "Li Jinyuan, you inconsiderate man!"
Li Jinyuan didn't even turn his head, his face was obviously surprised and embellished with happiness. His facial features became warmer and even his eyes were shining like stars.
"Why'd you come?"
Huo Chengming took off his mask and dully said, "There's also me."
"Oh."
"Brother Huo." Li Jinyuan replied monotonously.
Huo Chengming grasped Zhong Yuhuan's wrist and pulled her towards himself. He said, "Isn't it almost your turn to go onstage? Hurry and get ready. Huanhuan and I came to watch your performance especially."
Li Jinyuan glanced down and said, "Okay, Brother Wei, you bring them to sit first."
Then he pretended to accidentally squeeze in between Huo Chengming and Zhong Yuhuan.
Zhong Yuhuan, "…"
The recording lasted for the entire day.
It finally ended at 7:30. The second season of《Time Travel》also aired.
This time, it got onto the hot search as soon as it began broadcasting.
"Hahahaha without Li Jinyuan's bantering, it's really too lonely!"
"Little Huo, I'm coming!"
"It seems like today is also a day to be jealous of the competition!"
"Upstairs is wrong, today's also a day to watch Yin Qiqi be a demon!"
"I want to see if Zhong Yuhuan's charm will level up! Let's go!
"Does Zhong Yuhuan have charm? She's selling the Mary Sue persona again, vomit. Our Gu Yuling hasn't said anything yet!"
…
The internet has expectations, there would definitely be a few professionals looking for trouble.
Amidst the random commentary, #timetravelbroadcast# rose to the hot search. The moment it was broadcasted, the ratings reached a shocking number!
With the experience of recording and watching last time, this time didn't seem like anything unusual.
Zhong Yuhuan knew that the second season started, but didn't pay much attention to it.
The moment Li Jinyuan's recording finished, the atmosphere was climactic. Zhong Yuhuan couldn't help but stand up with a bouquet. Either way, she's wearing a mask and sunglasses, and thickly dressed. Others wouldn't necessarily recognize her. She stood under the stage and shouted loudly, "Li Jinyuan, you're awesome!"
Her voice merged with the voices from the fan group.
Compared to seeing Li Jinyuan model, she likes this moment better.
Chapter 204
When catwalking, the audience under the T-stage are quiet. They can only clap at the end.
The atmosphere here is much crazier and enthusiastic. Every fan seemingly wants to dedicate their everything for their idols.
This way of expressing beautiful feelings is very refreshing.
Li Jinyuan slightly squinted on the stage. He faced the light and looked below the stage.
He knew that Zhong Yuhuan was there. He accurately pinpointed Zhong Yuhuan's voice from countless others. He looked towards that direction and couldn't help but show a smile, the corners of his mouth raised and the light in his eyes flickered.
His smile was cheerful and charming.
Soon, there was another wave of screaming from the audience.
Support our newn0vel(0rg)
"AHHHHHH LI JINYUAN!"
"LI JINYUAN SMILED AT ME AHHHH I'M GOING CRAZY!"
Their screams were like a wave that enveloped the entire scene.
Zhong Yuhuan tugged on Huo Chengming's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Li Jinyuan is very amazing."
Huo Chengming pursed his lower lip, "Yeah."
He never felt like this before, as if his own profession was useless!
What's so good about getting a big deal? Or getting listed in the Caijing Weekly? What's the use of being hailed as the youngest entrepreneur?
His subordinates wouldn't wave flags and scream at him like these fans.
"Let's go home!" Zhong Yuhuan happily said.
Huo Chengming let out a breath, and the dissatisfaction in his heart lessened.
"Yes, let's go home." Huo Chengming loosened his fingers and gently circled them around Zhong Yuhuan's wrist.
Zhong Yuhuan took Huo Chengming and left the area. They passed the flowers to Wei Jie and then returned to the car, silently waiting.
When the other competitors saw the flowers in Wei Jie's hands, they smiled and said, "Brother Wei even prepared flowers?"
Wei Jie shook his head, "Miss Zhong prepared it."
Everyone shouted "Wow" a few times and teasingly looked at Li Jinyuan.
Li Jinyuan strode down from the stage and snatched the flowers from Wei Jie's arms, "Thanks Brother Wei."
The fans looked at his striding figure and couldn't help screaming again.
"AHHH LI JINYUAN IS SO HANDSOME!"
On the other side.
《Time Travel》hadn't even been broadcasting for ten minutes before #zhongyuhuan# reached the hot search.
"The first stop was Thailand. When Zhong Yuhuan spoke Thai, Yin Qiqi's face had a face like it wasn't anything special. At that time there were a lot of people who said that it's pretty low. This is just getting slapped in the face right?
"Zhong Yuhuan's english is really fluent, even the accent was proper. Did she study abroad before?"
"I said before that Zhong Yuhuan's family situation should be pretty good. It can be seen from her clothes and temperament. They probably didn't film her living area because she lives in a mansion, which is not good to show.
Li Jinyuan removed his makeup, changed his clothes and quickly left the recording area under the cover of the staff.
He accurately found Zhong Yuhuan's car, opened the car door and sat inside.
Zhong Yuhuan was a bit sleepy, but the moment the door opened and the wind came in, she became clear-headed.
"Go, let's go home and celebrate!"
Li Jinyuan smiled and his voice was clearer than normal, "Go home and celebrate!"
《Time Travel》quickly broadcasted a third of its episodes.
#zhongyuhuan# quickly reached the top seven on the hot search. After clicking on the hashtag, the relevant Weibo was continuously being filled with more information.
"What kind of beauty is this! Bringing Hanfu when travelling! My Hanfu girl is really crazy!"
"Ge Mei and Zhong Yuhuan, one wore red, the other wore white, it's too matching! I've eaten this pair of lilies hahaha! Don't be too beautiful when you walk together!"
"Zhong Yuhuan really has a temperament, I'm convinced."
"I can only see her and Ge Mei… other than that, the filming is very good! Zhong Yuhuan really is a perfect girl!"
"I want to enter the Hanfu pit after watching this!"
"Upstairs, hurry and come into the pit, this pit is pretty good. It's just that your wallet will become skinnier and lighter…"
"I heard foreigners discussing whether they were there to spread Chinese culture, making me want to cry. Zhong Yuhuan is really too good!"
"If the whole group wore Hanfu, it would be too beautiful!"
Chapter 205
"I can watch the scene where Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming help lift up the skirt a hundred times! Both are clearly very powerful people! Why are they so comedic in front of Zhong Yuhuan?"
…
Close behind #zhongyuhuan# was the hot search #lijinyuan#.
After clicking on the hashtag, the relevant Weibo was also continuously being filled with more information.
"It turns out that idol chasing abroad are pretty crazy…"
"I underestimated Li Jinyuan's popularity abroad. If they didn't run so fast, wouldn't they have been surrounded?"
"Ahhh! It's such a pity that I didn't find this treasure before! I really want to see Little Brother Li model!"
Support our newn0vel(0rg)
"Did Little Brother Li fight with Little Huo?
"Little Brother Li secretly took pictures, Little Huo picked up the skirt. That's a clear division of labour, and there was no fighting."
"Little Huo is really handsome too. The driver of the car and the company are dead for sure. The breaks almost had an accident and they still dare rent it out!"
"I feel like Gu Yuling is a bit touched."
"Touched +1. When Little Huo came back from buying tickets, Yin Qiqi's gaze changed…"
Very quickly, #zhongyuhuan#'s side got more new posts.
"Zhong Yuhuan riding a horse is too beautiful right? And the conversation between Yin Qiqi and the coach. I fucking laughed to death [picture] [picture]…"
The comment section was then filled with a string of comments, "My day is so beautiful! I'm a man and I can't take this type of beauty! Who still remembers the breakfast scene! Tassels dangling beside Zhong Yuhuan's cheeks, it's truly too beautiful! I feel like everyone's unconsciously staring at the tassel. The tassel is not the beauty, it's the person wearing the tassel!"
"Hahahahaha, Yin Qiqi's conversation here… backfired and insulted herself."
"Wait, did I find a blind spot? The instructor said Zhong Yuhuan took classes before, Zhong Yuhuan lived abroad before? Living with Li JInyuan?"
"Speaking of this… I read an article on Little Huo before, he seems to have first started with nothing in England…"
"No wonder they know each other! So…"
"Fuck, stop talking upstairs, I can't control my brainhole. Isn't this a childhood sweetheart? Ahahahahahaha, what an amazing setting!"
"Fuck, then which CP do I stand for? It feels a bit hard…"
…
…
Lang Jinzhi was also sitting on a leather chair, holding a cup of tea as he opened his notebook to watch the video of the show.
He looked at the dense barrage sliding across the bullet screen, and felt interested in this novel thing.
"I didn't see it wrong right? Little Huo seems to have patted Zhong Yuhuan's waist."
"Fuck! When Zhong Yuhuan was riding the horse, Little Huo and Li Jinyuan were always looking at her!"
"It really is the Mary Sue setting! I can eat a polyamourous CP too! Wen Yongchen can also join!"
"Farewell X, you'll get scolded. Just eat Little Huo x Zhong Yuhuan okay? Don't they say that people outside of the entertainment industry are pretty good?"
Lang Jinzhi read until there, then searched on Baidu what "CP" means.
CP, couple. (← originally in english)
Husband and wife?
Husband and wife?!
What is that? Isn't it just pure nonsense?
These barrages are all malicious speculation!
Lang Jinzhi frowned.
He clenched his fingers and watched more barrage quickly pass by on the bullet screen.
"But Li Jinyuan clearly has good feelings towards Zhong Yuhuan. Even if there's fans scolding it, the camera wouldn't lie right?
"Zhong Yuhuan holding the camera to take pictures of others, Li Jinyuan holding a camera to only take pictures of her… for Li Jinyuan, it's like…"
"… Zhong Yuhuan is the most beautiful scenery in his eyes?"
"These large waves are a bit tearful, maybe I should be a CP fan…"
Lang Jinzhi decided to clear everything up on the bullet screen.
How smart is Lang Jinzhi? How could sending a comment on the bullet screen trouble him?
So he suppressed his unhappiness, and typed one word at a time. The keyboard let out cracking noises, obviously being typed on with great force.
—【Don't say such nonsense, they only have a sibling relationship.】
Then the video website quickly popped out a reminder, 【Apologies, you must first register as a user of this site, and send authentication before you can send comments on the bullet screen.】
Chapter 206
Assistant Cheng slept until 10:11 PM, when he got woken up by the phone call from Lang Jinzhi.
He opened his hazy eyes and stared dazedly at his phone for a few seconds before confirming that the call was really from Lang Jinzhi.
When Assistant Cheng finished helping Lang Jinzhi solve his problem and laid down again, he was still in a dazed state.
Lang Jinzhi finally succeeded in sending a message on the bullet screen.
He looked at the message he sent go across the screen with satisfaction, before contently continuing to look down while sending something to a friend group with concise content, in his usual style,
Younger sister. [picture]
Before long, there were a string of likes and comments.
Support our newn0vel(0rg)
After the initial shock, everyone accepted that the big boss was actually a sis-con. In this circle with mostly middle-aged men, everyone has long gotten used to helping out their colleagues and their bosses' children for likes. This way, if they were to give Lang Jinzhi a like it would prove their sincerity!
Although most of them had only seen Lang Jinzhi's sister on television, they secretly recorded this name in their hearts.
《Time Travel》quickly finished broadcasting but contrary to expectations, #zhongyuhuan# was still high up in the hot searches.
The gossip scandal of the Zhong family had long faded from the public's view. After Zhong Yuhuan moved abroad, it was very difficult to find information about her on the internet. But with the popularity of《Time Travel》, the netizens searched for ages, but still didn't find any information about Zhong Yuhuan in China. Only through the "Heloise" called out by the equestrian instructor, did they finally find pictures of Zhong Yuhuan abroad.
It is those pictures, coupled with some screenshots from the show, that firmly seated Zhong Yuhuan onto the hot search.
A small entertainment news: Recently, some netizens have found pictures of Zhong Yuhuan's life abroad… [picture][picture] …
The first 1-3 pictures were Zhong Yuhuan with Landon and the others when she was in high school abroad, as well as a picture of her participating in a social drama performance.
Pictures 4-7 were pictures taken together when she was traveling abroad with Han Yingying and the others.
The eighth and ninth pictures are respectfully her and Huo Chengming eating breakfast and her appearing in a show.
Zhong Yuhuan got out of bed, wearing baggy pajamas. With loose hair, she lay lazily on a chair, drinking soy milk while browsing Weibo.
She couldn't help but sigh about all the talented netizens online!
As long as they want it, there's nothing they can't find!
Zhong Yuhuan herself didn't even know, other than the first few pictures which could've been posted online by Han Yingying, Landon and the others, how did the last two pictures survive?
Huo Chengming and her, as well as the picture from the show, were they secretly taken by someone else? When did they do it?
She had felt nothing!
Zhong Yuhuan finished drinking the soy milk in her cup.
She put the cup down, took a napkin, slowly wiped her mouth, and then clicked into the comment area.
The comment section was really too lively, just after drinking a cup of soy milk, there were over ten thousand new comments.
…
"Zhong Yuhuan is really beautiful and good-tempered, but when she stands with European girls, they completely suppress others…"
"Was she really studying abroad? She seems pretty popular. _(:зゝ∠)_ seems like this type of character setting is a pretty good thing."
"Of course little Huo and little brother Li knew her before! They even ate breakfast together, if anyone says they've never hooked up, I wouldn't believe it…"
Reading until there, Zhong Yuhuan almost choked on her saliva.
Huo Chengming and her hooked up?
Nonononono.
Zhong Yuhuan quickly skipped past this comment and continued scrolling down.
"Am I the only one who found a blind spot? That show's from Burberry's spring-summer ready-to-wear high-end show right? Li Jinyuan was also there right?"
"You're not the only one."
"Really curious whether they're friends or some other relation…"
"Did no one notice? The one in the photo with Zhong Yuhuan is young master Yang right? Isn't the producer of《Time Travel》young master Yang's older sister? Her name is Yang Xi? I heard that she's inheriting all of Yang family's companies soon."
Chapter 207
"…Wow that's huge material. So, is Zhong Yuhuan actually young master Yang's girlfriend? Did she use her boyfriend to squeeze into the show? This is probably her getting ready to enter the entertainment industry right?
"Begging you guys to look at the other people in the photo okay? =, ="
"Upstairs (LS in raws) +1, is Han Yingying standing in the back? She often posts vlogs on social media. The Han family's little princess. Everyone's playing together, so why are you acting like Zhong Yuhuan and Yang Sen are alone together?"
"… if it's like this, then the others next to Zhong Yuhuan are also familiar.
"I searched Han Yingying, and found the other people. Ummm, let me summarize, photos 4-7 respectively have young master Yang, Zhuang Qicheng's only son, third son of Wang Ji, Ji Tianming's daughter… they all have their own INS and often post updates of their life to keep face."
"My god, they're all rich second-generations?"
"Now the question is, what's Zhong Yuhuan's level?"
Support our newn0vel(0rg)
"I'm guessing first! If she can go in and out of a high leveled show, knows many languages, study abroad, even studying equestrian skills in the UK, and also knows people like Yang Sen and Han Yingying. They even took photos together… OJBK[1], she gets the stamp of a rich second generation.
[1]. ojbk means unwillingly agreement in chinese or something
"So, everytime she said that it was a discount, it really was a discount. For rich second generations like them, they don't even need a card. At most hotels and shopping malls, all they need is their face. Thinking of Yin Qiqi's skepticism, it's a bit funny."
"This really is a pretty and rich young lady[2]. No wonder Li Jinyuan had such a good attitude towards her, Zhong Yuhuan shows him kindness, there's no way to not reciprocate."
[2]. Rich and pretty girl is 白富美 (bai fu mei), slang for a young lady with white skin, rich family background and very pretty
"Upstairs, (LS in raws) are your eyes blind? Can't you see it's Li Jinyuan showing friendliness? When did Zhong Yuhuan be friendly to Li Jinyuan?"
"Isn't it true that Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming have good impressions of her?"
…
Zhong Yuhuan read until there, and didn't continue reading.
The comments were all messed up, when there's a difference in opinion, they just start fighting.
She closed the phone and thought, were Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming's affection for her really unusual?
They lived together for so long, of course there would be affection!
It's just not the kind of things the netizens think they have.
She was in a slight trance when Li Jinyuan came downstairs.
Zhong Yuhuan raised her head to look, and was taken aback, "Is there no itinerary for you today?"
Li Jinyuan, "Not right now."
Right after that, Huo Chengming also came downstairs. He drank a little wine yesterday, so he slept for longer.
Zhong Yuhuan looked at the two, "Is there no schedule today?"
Huo Chengming opened his mouth, when the words reached his mouth, they changed and he said, "Mhm… no."
"That's great, then you can come visit grandpa with me."
"Okay."
Zhong Yuhuan went upstairs to change and do her hair. She was too lazy to put on makeup so she just left like this.
Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming were already waiting outside.
Huo Chengming took Zhong Yuhuan's bag and Li Jinyuan opened the car door.
They got in the car one after the other and headed towards Yuelan villa.
…
The comments concerning Zhong Yuhuan had caused the show to explode. With more and more things being dug out, the media smelled the value of news on her.
Zhong Yuhuan accompanied Grandpa Ding to eat lunch and Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming accompanied him to go fishing and play chess. Then, everyone waited for Lang Jinzhi to come, and they all ate dinner together before leaving the villa.
After leaving the villa, Li Jinyuan frowned, "There's paparazzi nearby."
Zhong Yuhuan isn't sensitive towards cameras, let alone Hou Chengming and Lang Jinzhi. They're not in the circle, so they definitely can't detect it.
But Zhong Yuhuan quickly reacted, "We were seen when we went to buy presents for grandpa at the mall."
Note: Extra chapter thanks to winning the discord poll!
Chapter 208
"Cousin, you go first." Zhong Yuhuan said.
Lang Jinzhi frowned, "The media filmed us until here already, what bad characters."
Zhong Yuhuan sighed, "There's nothing we can do, people need to eat, you can't prevent that."
Lang Jinzhi rolled his eyes and said, "You follow me to the car to leave first."
Zhong Yuhuan, "Huh?"
Li Jinyuan immediately said, "Huanhuan and cousin go first."
Huo Chengming closely added, "I will go with you two to leave first."
Li Jinyuan, the only one left, "…"

Huo Chengming turned his head to him saying, "Your circle's stuff, you clearly understand how to deal with it."
Li Jinyuan, "…"
You're speaking like you've never been in the camera!
Huo Chengming moved quickly and walked over to open the car door.
"Huanhuan, go first." Lang Jinzhi held Zhong Yuhuan's wrist and led her to the car.
Zhong Yuhuan wasn't polite, and directly went into the car first.
But when Huo Chengming was getting ready to go in, Lang Jinzhi was ahead of him by one step.
Huo Chengming paused without saying anything.
After all, he is Huanhuan's cousin, a blood-related cousin.
The driver stepped on the gas and the car quickly sped away, leaving Li Jinyuan still standing there.
The morning of the second day, #zhongyuhuanandlijinyuanwerephotographed# immediately reached the hot search.
Clicking in, almost the entire comment section was laughing.
"Hahahahaha, why doesn't the hot search have Little Huo? He's clearly there too!"
"Dying of laughter, this hot search is definitely created by those CP fans of Li Jinyuan x Zhong Yuhuan who can't stand Little Huo."
"Little Huo looks so angry :DDD"
Raws say "2333" which is basically laughing slang/emoji thing
"Stop laughing, hahahahahaha, but it is really funny hahahahaha. I want to know why those three went together to eat? And who's that handsome big brother at the side? Isn't he too handsome?"
"Upstairs (LS in raws) do you not follow the news! He appears very often on the news! He's one of the youngest leaders in the city!"
"My god… what are these people… rich second-generations+big boss?"
"That's Lang Jinzhi right? Oh, I think I know Zhong Yuhuan's identity. Lang Jinzhi's mom is from the Ding family, and the Ding's had two daughters. The other daughter, Ding Ruxue, married into the Zhong family. Zhong Yuhuan should be the Zhong family's only daughter, right? Boss Zhong Chi passed away last year, and during that time, there was news about something like the struggle between wealthy families. Zhong Chi's successor also went to jail… so now all of the Zhong family's money should belong to Zhong Chi and Ding Ruxue's daughter. Therefore… Zhong Yuhuan is the youngest rich woman in the country? Damn it!"
"So why the hell would she join the entertainment circle? Stop the conspiracy theories okay? She already has money, like Little Huo she only went to film the reality show for fun, and help Yang Sen's sister too, right?"
"I'm too shocked! So this is Zhong Yuhuan and Lang Jinzhi's family reunion meal? Then why did both Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming go? Even if they are boyfriends, there's no need to bring both right?"
"Maybe family friends? The childhood sweetheart type?"
"Lang Jinzhi and Zhong Yuhuan's grandpa is at Yuelan villa, so they probably went to visit their grandpa? Bringing Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming… well… it's weird even if they are family friends right? I don't understand."
"_(:зゝ∠)_ I suddenly remembered a comment I saw on the bullet screen during yesterday's broadcast. It was very nonsensical at the time but now that I think about it, it could be true. It said that Zhong Yuhuan, Huo Chengming, and Li Jinyuan only share a sibling relationship…"
…
Waking up early the next morning.
Li Jinyuan's phone rang, telling him there was news.
Li Jinyuan took a look and saw the many new messages in WeChat, from basically all of the players he knew in the talent show.
He tapped on one to take a look.
【Fuck! Brother Li! Is Zhong Yuhuan really your older sister? Please introduce her to me!】
Li Jinyuan flew up from bed and almost smashed his phone.
Chapter 209
Although the web had churned out a lot of information, and all sorts of closely related guesses, the truth still came from Wei Jie's mouth.
Li Jinyuan already had his own studio. The public relations team just reported the information on the Internet to Wei Jie to be processed. Wei Jie took one, quick look and his hair shot straight up in fright, thinking, what? How can they say that Miss Zhong is the person between Mr. Huo and Xiao Li?
Wei Jie randomly picked a fan comment and forwarded it on his verified Weibo account without thinking about it.
Li Wei Jie: They're all one big family, please stop all these nonsensical thoughts, thank you. /Stu: Zhong Yuhuan is awesome! Catching a Huo Chengming and a Li Jinyuan, and now even catching a Lang Jinzhi? Awesome, awesome! I guess next time it will be Wen Yongchen who gets captured by her, haha.
Wei Jie thought the relationship between the three were pretty complex, with adoption and whatnot. There's no need to explain it to others, summarizing it should suffice.
The comment section on Weibo exploded just like that.
The fan who had mocked Zhong Yuhuan immediately played dead and stopped posting, but that couldn't stop her from being sprayed with dog blood by the web users.

"You're both female, is it really that good to speculate so maliciously about another female?"
"No matter how much of a lemon you are, there's still not going to be some Huo
"柠檬精就算再酸" "no matter how jealous you are" or something figuratively
Chengming, Li Jinyuan, and Wen Yongchen around you, are you dumbfounded? Just be dumbfounded hehe."
"Not really, I actually want to point out that a family has many definitions… wouldn't a married couple also be called a family?"
"Upstairs, are you an idiot? She didn't even reach 18 yet, it's clearly written on Baike; did your eyes get eaten by dogs? Why's a blind person guessing blindly? Can't they be cousins?"
"Forcing the agent to come out and clarify, the one who wanted to label Zhong Yuhuan as a green tea bitch, take a break okay? Don't think that others don't know that you are someone's water army."
"Sis-cons are clearly the best! What love? What CP? Sis-cons make me much happier!"
"If it's like that… _(:зゝ∠)_ sorta wanna see how little brother Li and little Huo are when they dote on Huanhuan!"
"+1"
"+10086"
…
Wei Jie's post on Weibo caused a lot of heated discussions. Naturally, the other participants in the audition program also found out.
They heard Li Jinyuan talk about an older sister before, and of course they connected the two now!
They even started thinking, oh, no wonder Zhong Yuhuan came on the last day of filming! Experiencing their actaions in real life: _(:зゝ∠)_ it's pretty good looking!
This caused Li Jinyuan to receive many messages when he woke up in the morning.
Li Jinyuan lowered his eyes, showing a little indifference.
With just one movement from his finger, he wiped all of the offending messages he received away.
If he were to read more, even just one more word, Li Jinyuan would feel increasingly irritated. He got a feeling that his gem that was hidden for so many years was about to be looted by others.
When he finished deleting everything, Li Jinyuan spaced out at the phone for a while.
Not long after, there was knocking at the door.
"Li Jinyuan!" Zhong Yuhuan yelled his name from the other side of the door.
Li Jinyuan quickly came back to his senses and stood up from the bed. He walked over to the door and opened it before showing a smile to Zhong Yuhuan. "Did I get up late?"
Zhong Yuhuan felt it was a bit dazzling.
The young man's bare upper body had an eight pack that was shining in Zhong Yuhuan's sight.
Zhong Yuhuan kicked him without thinking: "Li Jinyuan, why aren't you wearing clothes?"
Li Jinyuan was taken aback. He glanced down, and realized it.
A trace of red flashed across his face: "Huanhuan, wait outside for me!" After saying that, he hurriedly closed the door and turned to put on a shirt.
Chapter 210
Zhong Yuhuan turned her head towards Huo Chengming's room.
In the two days that they've been resting in the villa, they all got up a bit late in the morning. Zhong Yuhuan had originally wanted to wake Huo Chengming up, but promptly gave up on that idea.
She shook her head and quickly turned to go upstairs.
After Li Jinyuan changed, the blush on his face slowly faded.
He grabbed the shirt that was hanging on a chair by the side and wore it. He fixed the placket with both hands, paused inexplicably, then resumed his smooth and natural actions, neatly putting on his shirt.
A placket is like a collar/cuff

After Lang Jinzhi learned how to register for an account, join membership, send messages on the bullet screen, and even how to report bad comments on the bullet screen… he also learned how to search the web for Zhong Yuhuan's news.
After searching, Lang Jinzhi got a lot of mediarelating to Zhong Yuhuan.
The first thing that came into his sight, was the picture of Zhong Yuhuan eating breakfast with Huo Chengming and photos of her watching Li Jinyuan's show. There were also screenshots of the three from the show. Lang Jinzhi was a bit jealous.
But soon, he found his own picture.
It was in the same frame as Zhong Yuhuan!
Only, the frame had Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming's figures too.
Lang Jinzhi felt sour again.
Then, Lang Jinzhi saw a forwarded post of Wei Jie's message.
One family?
They are one family, but his sense of existence in the family was extremely low. Li Jinyuan, Huo Chengming, and Huanhuan went to record the show together… him?
The jealousy in Lang Jinzhi's heart tripled.
Lang Jinzhi checked the time on his phone and saw that it was already 9 AM. He had been scrolling through his phone for a long time.
He can't be late.
Lang Jinzhi frowned and called Secretary Cheng while walking out.
Secretary Cheng was already waiting in the car. When he saw Lang Jinzhi come out, he immediately opened the door.
In the car, Lang Jinzhi pursed his lower lip and said in a low voice: "There's a lot of information about Huanhuan on the internet."
Secretary Cheng's heart trembled.
He knew that people on the internet didn't know each other. The people posting comments and stirring up trouble were a bunch of internet trolls. They would be the only ones who are foolish enough to brainlessly smear Miss Zhong's reputation.
Secretary Cheng hurriedly said, "Once someone enters the entertainment circle, they will always be in the limelight and are exposed to the public's criticism. Since Miss Zhong is becoming more and more popular, it's natural for more attention to be directed at her and for more information about her to be revealed."
"Those people…" Lang Jinzhi started to say.
Secretary Cheng followed up and said, "The people who had said unpleasant things about her cannot be dealt with. They're not like the media where we can just deal with them secretly. If someone were to deliberately smear Miss Zhong, it might arouse feelings of distress and double the love towards her from others. Fans are unpredictable."
Lang Jinzhi nodded, "Okay, have some pay close attention to it." After speaking, Lang Jinzhi still couldn't help but frown.
He could accept any type of ridicule or name calling on the internet, but to indiscriminately label a girl as a "bitch", made Lang Jinzhi feel intolerant.
Was Zhong Yuhuan that easy to bully?
There was no need to look at those people who wantonly badmouthed other people's people. Did they even look at who the people backing Zhong Yuhuan are?
Secretary Cheng answered, "Okay."
Lang Jinzhi continued to talk, "Do you know when they will be leaving for the next episode?"
Secretary Cheng was a little stunned, but recalled the information he had received before and replied promptly, "They should be leaving either today or tomorrow."
"Make arrangements for me. I'm sending Huanhuan to the airport."
Secretary Cheng:?
Wait, the crewmembers from the show will be recording everything!
Do you actually want to be filmed by the camera?
Secretary Cheng thought for a moment, that he was hallucinating due to indigestion since he overate this morning.
Chapter 211
The broadcast of the second season of《Time Travel》coincided with a CCTV cultural expedition program. After the program finished broadcasting, there was instantly another wave of hanfu. Zhong Yuhuan's performance on the show just happened to relate to the program. There was no need to buy advertisements; the picture of Zhong Yuhuan wearing hanfu spread across the entire Internet. Even a lot of media companies used Zhong Yuhuan's photo when mentioning the hanfu trend.
The articles didn't have awkward boasting, nor malicious ideas to push others down. With a more positive attitude, Zhong Yuhuan became more familiar in the public eye and gained a lot of favorability.
The comment section under every Weibo immediately exploded.
"My Huanhuan is on the official media! Hahahahaha my treasure can't be hidden anymore! The whole world will know how pretty Huanhuan is!"
"Upstairs +1, younger brother Li and little Huo should be thinking that. _(:зゝ∠)_"
"Zhong Yuhuan's really good-looking! Begging her to film a costume drama! It will definitely be super pretty! Li Jinyuhan is the young prince. Little Huo is the young general… I can't take it. I'm about to die from the cuteness my imagination brings! Aaaa!"
"I really want to buy Huanhuan's dress! I want to join the pit! Begging an expert to lead me!"
Support our newn0vel(0rg)
"When's the third season going to come out? QWQ ran out of episodes to watch!"
"Am I the only one who feels that when Zhong Yuhuan and Ge Mei stand together they give the feeling of CP? Both wearing skirts: one red, one white, a gorgeous lady, and a beautiful imperial sister."
"Upstairs be careful! If you continue saying such things, little brother Li and little Huo will kill you!"
"The dumbass above? They've already explained that they're a family. Why would Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming care about Zhong Yuhuan's CPs?"
"Aren't you also a dumbass? That doesn't mean they won't have a sister's complex. It's especially because they are a family; they wouldn't want Zhong Yuhuan to be in a CP, okay? Don't reply anymore. Don't flaunt your IQ."
…
At that time, Zhong Yuhuan's followers on Weibo already went over the 3 million mark.
It was about this time, Zhong Yuhuan, Li Jinyuan, and Huo Chengming were in the dining room of the villa having breakfast. Then, Zhong Yuhuan received a call from Han Yingying.
Hay Yingying had always been a gossipy person. Especially after Zhong Yuhuan started filming《Time Travel》, she started to pay even more attention to the flow of the internet. Most of the posts relating to Li Jinyuan, Zhong Yuhuan, and even Huo Chengming were sent to her from Han Yingying.
Zhong Yuhuan couldn't suppress her smile when she picked up the phone.
It was probably some more gossip again.
Huo Chengming woke up early in the morning and was in a bit of a bad mood.
It's because he found out that Zhong Yuhuan went to wake Li Jinyuan, but didn't call him. Although this was a tiny act, since calling or not calling him didn't mean anything, Huo Chengming still felt a bit sad in his heart.
Thinking like this, Huo Chengming's heart sank deeper.
Because he realized that this type of behavior was happening more and more often, he would have to pay more attention to Zhong Yuhuan's every movement at all times.
And it was the same at this moment.
When he noticed how Zhong Yuhuan looked at the caller ID and smiled, Huo Chengming's brain felt like it was dropped into mentos and coke. This made him suddenly very irritated.
Huo Chengming unconsciously pursed his lips and raised his head to look at Zhong Yuhuan.
Who is she talking to? Huo Chengming wondered in his heart.
Li Jinyuan had his head lowered at that moment, slowly putting jam on the toast in front of him. At first glance, it seemed like nothing was wrong, but looking closely, it could be seen that his actions were a bit too mechanical. His hands moved, but his entire being was distracted.
He didn't even notice when the jam spilled over the edge of the toast and dripped onto the white porcelain plate.
Naturally, Zhong Yuhuan noticed at this point.
"What new things do you want to tell me now?" Zhong Yuhuan said to the other end of the phone while passing a napkin to Li Jinyuan.
But Li Jinyuan didn't take it.
Chapter 212
Zhong Yuhuan was helpless and could only stretch and put the napkin on the back of Li Jinyuan's hand.
Li Jinyuan suddenly grabbed Zhong Yuhuan's hand, then quickly let go again.
Li Jinyuan seemed to return to his senses as he set the table knife down. He smiled at Zhong Yuhuan, then took the napkin, and warmly said: "Thank you, Huanhuan."
His voice just stopped when there was a "pa" sound by the side, a sound of a glass falling. The shattered pieces went everywhere and the milk spilled on the floor.
Zhong Yuhuan was taken back.
Zhong Yuhuan immediately moved the phone away and turned to look.
She saw Huo Chengming steadily sitting there, the cup of milk in his hand gone. He had his head lowered and stared at the ground with a face of unhappiness; his brows were furrowed, making him look a bit fierce. But looking closely, there seemed to be a wronged expression on his face.
Support our newn0vel(0rg)
Wronged?
Zhong Yuhuan was a bit confused.
Is he feeling wronged because the cup of milk for breakfast broke?
… It turns out that the grownup villain is still this cute?
Zhong Yuhuan quickly signaled with her head at a nearby maid, motioning her to bring new milk.
A couple of maids went to get towels to wipe the floor, and to bring a new glass, and milk.
Then, Zhong Yuhuan pushed away the chair and turned to go upstairs while continuing to talk to Han Yingying on the phone.
When she wasn't looking, Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming stared at her back with different expressions.
The two only took away their gaze when Zhong Yuhuan disappeared from the stairs.
"The person who called…" Huo Chengming spoke first.
"Seems like Han Yingying," Li Jinyuan said.
Huo Chengming's heart felt like it was settling down.
He also didn't know why he had such a huge reaction.
Huo Chengming pushed away the chair while frowning, and turned to go upstairs. However, Li Jinyuan didn't move from his spot.
After all, he had been in the entertainment industry a long time and was naturally more sensitive to online news. Li Jinyuan had already seen all kinds of comments online, including the fans saying: Zhong Yuhuan and Ge Mei, one red, one white, a gorgeous lady, and a beautiful imperial sister, have a CP vibe.
Li Jinyuan suddenly stopped.
Before, there were also all sorts of speculations online, and even put Zhong Yuhuan and himself, as well as Huo Chengming into a CP.
This was common. When you walk under the camera lens, there would always be fans who put you into a CP based on their preferences. But when he saw those comments, Li Jinyuan didn't have any fluctuations in his heart. It would be natural that Zhong Yuhuan was paired with other people, even if the other side was female.
Li Jinyuan's gaze darkened and also turned to leave.
The dining room was soon restored to its original peace.
When the maids cleaned up the shrapnels and milk on the floor and brought in new milk, the dining table was already empty.
The maids were confused.
What's the matter with Young Master Huo?
First, he broke his own milk cup, then he inexplicably got up and left? Does he want his milk or not?
…
Zhong Yuhuan was upstairs talking to Han Yingying.
On the other side, Han Yingying was excitedly saying, "You became popular so fast. Even people riding on rockets wouldn't be this fast! Your entire body is full of conversation topics! When are you guys filming the third season? I also want to watch the third season sooner!"
Zhong Yuhuan couldn't help but smile. "What's so interesting about that? When we were in school together, didn't you see enough of me?"
"That's not the same. Who wants to look at your face? What I want to see is your family of three's love-hate relationship! Yin Qiqi is also pretty interesting. What a simple-minded girl! Wanting to bully you, but getting bullied by you instead. Such naivety. Such misery. It gives so much laughable material! Gu Yuling is also pretty interesting. After being unable to be in a CP with Li Jinyuan, she began to silently hook up with Huo Chengming under the camera. My Huanhuan, why don't you learn some of their tricks? Heh, already this old, yet has never had a boyfriend. If you don't start, you won't even be able to catch the last of your puppy loves…" Han Yingying had very diverse thoughts, chattering nonstop on the other side, moving from one topic after another after short durations.
Chapter 213
Zhong Yuhuan hurriedly yelled out, "Wait wait wait a moment! Why do you sound like my mom?"
Han Yingying paused. "Okay, don't say that. Anyways, the guests in your show really aren't easy to deal with."
Zhong Yuhuan was startled. "Huh? What do you mean?"
Han Yingying continued, "There's no need to mention Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming because it doesn't matter since they're with you either way. Let's talk about Gu Yuling. She looks pretty nice but has even more schemes than Yin Qiqi, just not as low level as Yin Qiqi. You know what I heard? It's actually pretty funny. Gu Yuling's team wants to buy you a general script…"
"Wait, buy me a script?" Zhong Yuhuan couldn't help but say.
"See, you don't understand this right? If they buy you a script, it will definitely be exaggerating your flourishing beauty and how you play with others' feelings, easily pleasing all men. It will also talk about how you are a national goddess who suppresses everyone and every role in any drama should be played by you… These people don't care if the script wasn't sent by you. That will definitely offend a lot of people, and your reputation on the Internet will get worse and worse… People will definitely say you, who's not part of the entertainment industry, and doesn't have any work, yet still running over to stir up shit…" Han Yingying sprouted a bunch of nonsense.
Zhong Yuhuan: "…"
Support our newn0vel(0rg)
She immediately understood the innuendos there.
"Thankfully I have money," Zhong Yuhuan said.
Han Yingying: "…"
Han Yingying: "… Of course. After all, you have money and don't depend on this for food. No matter how the Internet is, don't they still need to use your Zhong's things. Going to a Zhong's mall, they spend money and pay you. This Gu Yuling's eyes are still a bit shallow.
"But still pretty funny, Gu Yuling's PR team went to my ex-boyfriend's company to ask them to do this. Didn't our photo together get posted online? Who doesn't know that we're friends? When their side received the information, they immediately called me. Then, I told them to refuse. They're pretty smart and told the other well-connected companies. No matter who Gu Yuling asks, no one will help." Han Yingying snorted. "I have to let the people on Gu Yuling's side know, you're not someone who anyone can provoke!"
Zhong Yuhuan felt a bit shocked when she heard that, but couldn't help but be moved.
To a greater extent, she actually regarded this as a vacation world.
She, Li Jinyuan, and Huo Chengming spent a lot of time with each other, and she finally started to not see them as purely characters from a book. But Han Yingying, Yang Sen, and the like, for her, were friends but lacked a sense of reality. Until this moment.
"But that was done by your ex. Wouldn't that make you owe him a favor?" Zhong Yuhuan asked.
"No problem. That cheap bastard has long wanted to get back to me, and he's rushing to sell himself. What favor does this count as? Don't mind him." After speaking, Han Yingying changed the topic again. "Did you notice that Ge Mei seems to deliberately be kind to you? She's such a meticulous person and definitely saw that your background is unusual. I heard Yang Sen say that those types of people look the easiest to get along with. The media rarely writes about her black material, but there's a lot of black material in the circle. Oh right, is that Ling Lan an amateur?"
"Mhm," Zhong Yuhuan responded.
"This person has the deepest schemes inside." Han Yingying tsked as she spoke. "This person looks tepid, but actually has a lot of plans. She wanted to take a set the Thames on fire* type route, to gain a good reputation from the show. However, she didn't think that you'd do it first. She has calculations in her heart and knows that a show cannot have two starring people, so she immediately switched tactics… Just remember that in your heart that you don't need to be scared of anyone."
(一鸣惊人 means something very shocking and "set the Thames on fire" is the eng equivalent.)
Why is she so deep? No wonder she's the original female lead.
"You got this?"
"Mhm," Zhong Yuhuan responded.
Chapter 214
She had always been accepting of other people's concerns.
Han Yingying smiled and said, "Also, is Wen Yongchen interested in you?"
Zhong Yuhuan was stunned, then carefully recalled, "No, he just wanted to invite me to his studio. If I were to enter the entertainment industry in the future, I should consider his place first."
"Tsk. Let me tell you something!"
"Hm?"
"Wen Yongchen is definitely interested in you. He likes to play with office romance. His previous girlfriends were all in his studio. But other than that, he's pretty good. A conscious gentleman who has won large prizes before, good reputation, pretty good for dating…" Han Yingying commented with an experienced expression.
"Where did you get that from?" Zhong Yuhuan didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Support our newn0vel(0rg)
"Isn't this worrying? Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming keep on following you. So annoying. There's clearly no relation, but outsiders say that you go back and forth between two men. Is this not delaying your development*?" Han Yingying whispered.
*Like her turning into a peach blossom literally so basically romantic relations and whatnot.
She wouldn't dare to say that in front of Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming. Not to mention the present, she wouldn't dare even a few years ago. They had seen how the two had beat up that Young Master Ning. She had personally seen the fight. How they had boxed and fenced. With every punch, Han Yingying felt like her own head was going to fly off.
Afterwards, Han Yingying spoke until there was a low "creak" coming from the bedroom door behind Zhong Yuhuan.
The door opened.
Zhong Yuhuan turned and saw Li Jinyuan standing there.
Li Jinyuan flashed a smile at her, and warmly said, "Huanhuan, the program crew just called and said that we're leaving early tomorrow morning."
"Early morning?"
"Yup, we're flying to Italy this time."
Zhong Yuhuan lazily responded, "Okay, sure. I'll go pack in a little bit."
"I'll help you," Li Jinyuan said as he courteously entered.
At that time, Han Yingying asked from the other side, "Who's talking to you? Is it Li Jinyuan or Huo Chengming?"
"No need. I'll do it myself," Zhong Yuhuan hurriedly first said to Li Jinyuan.
If nothing else, she could still use the maids.
This was not the same as the time in England.
Li Jinyuan's face showed a disappointed expression. "It was always me helping Huanhuan before."
Not the same, Zhong Yuhuan thought, and reminded Li Jinyuan, "We've grown up."
Han Yingying is correct.
It's not the problem of them preventing her from love, but more importantly, when outsiders misunderstand her, Li Jinyuan, and Huo Chengming's relations with each other, wouldn't it prevent them from finding girlfriends? Even if Li Jinyuan's future half isn't the original female lead, there should still be someone else right?
These types of thoughts whirled around in Zhong Yuhuan's head.
Li Jinyuan lowered his gaze, making his handsome and pure face look a bit pitiful.
Zhong Yuhuan turned aside and whispered on the phone, "Li Jinyuan is here. Let's stop talking for now. I won't be filming anymore after this season, so do you want to meet up for a meal next time?"
Han Yingying responded, "Okay." Then suddenly realized, "You're not filming anymore?"
"Yeah," Zhong Yuhuan said and hung up the phone.
It's just that it was too tiring if nothing else. The program had all kinds of restrictions.
Being a star isn't fun at all.
Thinking that Zhong Yuhuan couldn't help but whisper in her heart: Thank goodness I have money!
After putting her phone away, she turned to look at Li Jinyuan and saw that his face had changed color.
She thought that Li Jinyuan was going to ask why she wasn't going to film.
Who knew that Li Jinyuan would open his mouth and ask, "The person who just called was Han Yingying?"
"Yeah." Zhong Yuhuan hesitantly nodded.
Li Jinyuan's expression loosened a bit, and asked in a warm tone, "Is filming too tiring?"
"A bit."
"Then just don't film," Li Jinyuan gently said.
In the beginning, he was very happy when he saw online fans enthusiastically discussing him and Zhong Yuhuan. He wished that everyone could see his closeness to Zhong Yuhuan. Li Jinyuan would even comment on the netizen's discussions past two o'clock at night. But as the broadcast continued, Li Jinyuan slowly noticed how the people online didn't only discuss him and Zhong Yuhuan. There were also Huo Chengmind and Zhong Yuhuan, and even Ge Mei, then even Wen Yongchen and Yang Sen got roped in. They even discussed Zhong Yuhuan's charm, loudly declaring their love for Zhong Yuhuan…
Chapter 215
Li Jinyuan felt reluctant again.
He would also watch the videos. Every time he rewatched it, he would feel a faint urge to charge under the camera and hide Zhong Yuhuan.
Zhong Yuhuan was stunned. She didn't think that Li Jinyuan would agree so easily.
She nodded. "Mhm."
"Is Huanhuan still going out tomorrow?" Li Jinyuan asked.
"Yes, to the company," Zhong Yuhuan whispered.
"Okay, then I'll see you tonight." Li Jinyuan finally left to call Wei Jie and catch an event.
Support our newn0vel(0rg)
Zhong Yuhuan went to the company to check the accounts before leaving.
When she returned, she found her bedroom door ajar.
Before leaving, Zhong Yuhuan ordered the maids to pack her luggage. After all, her identity had already been exposed. At most the netizens would scold her for being a nouveau riche, or a squeamish young lady, so it didn't matter if the cameraman captures that scene.
Zhong Yuhuan looked at the door, thinking, Did they still not finish?
Zhong Yuhuan wanted to push open the door and walk inside, but then someone just happened to walk out of the room.
Zhong Yuhuan had a clear look. It was Huo Chengming
Huo Chengming was wearing a white shirt. Three of the buttons were unbuttoned, showing a bit of his chest, the muscles underneath clearly visible.
His body still had a mist of water surrounding it.
As if he just came out of the shower.
Zhong Yuhuan's eyes shifted upwards and caught a glimpse of Huo Chengming's wet hair.
Huo Chengming probably didn't think that Zhong Yuhuan would suddenly come back, so he just froze in place.
He pressed his lips together, his face looking much more angular.
Zhong Yuhuan couldn't help but blink.
The child had transformed into an adult. The feeling of hormones on the face brought an unspeakable and soft feeling.
"Why did you come to my room to shower?" Zhong Yuhuan asked, raising her hand to pat Huo Chengming's arm. His arm was a bit cool.
Zhong Yuhuan touched his finger in surprise. Huo Chengming also stiffly stood there for her to touch.
"You took a cold shower?" Zhong Yuhuan was stunned.
Huo Chengming straightened his neck and nodded. "Mhm."
Zhong Yuhuan used her hand to feel his forehead, a bit worried. "Do you have a fever?"
Huo Chengming's brain felt like it was filled with Mentos and coke again, continuously boiling. He unconsciously stared at Zhong Yuhuan. He didn't have a fever, but when he felt her finger on his forehead, Huo Chengming's entire body heated up.
"No fever," Huo Chengming said in a low voice.
"Then what's wrong?" Zhong Yuhuan patted him on his shoulder, then walked past him and into the bedroom.
Huo Chengming unconsciously turned to follow, throat bobbed, and said, "Insanity."
Zhong Yuhuan: "?"
Zhong Yuhuan turned and saw the packed luggage by the side.
Huo Chengming noted that she noticed, immediately saying, "I packed it."
Zhong Yuhuan: "Hm?"
"The maids at home don't necessarily know what you need, but I know."
"Wait…" Zhong Yuhuan interrupted, "When you were packing, were the program staff also there?"
"They were. The cameraman filmed it, saying that it will be used as material." Huo Chengming paused, then directly stared into Zhong Yuhuan's eyes. "Is it not allowed?"
Zhong Yuhuan felt a bit strange.
She didn't understand why Huo Chengming would take a cold shower and didn't understand why Huo Chengming's eyes looked like they were covered with a layer of thin mist. When they looked at people, they would bring a feeling of intoxication.
Just like… just like the open tail of peacocks, a display of charm with no form.
"Okay then, I troubled you today," Zhong Yuhuan said as she began pushing his waist, pushing him out. "Go take a hot shower quickly. Be careful of catching a cold. We have to leave early tomorrow."
Huo Chengming said, returning to his senses, "Okay."
Then walked away.
Only, when he reached the doorway, Huo Chengming didn't leave immediately. Instead, he turned and stared at Zhong Yuhuan.
Zhong Yuhuan: "?"
Huo Chengming's behavior today was too strange.
"You didn't say older brother," he said.
"Thank you, older brother Chengming. Goodbye, older brother Chengming," Zhong Yuhuan said angrily.
He felt like he just got electrocuted. Maybe he needs another round of cold water?
"Goodnight," Huo Chengming said in a deep voice.
After he closed the door, Huo Chengming let out a breath.
Chapter 216
Then his brows furrowed a bit, and the corners of his mouth drew down, teeth clenched.
When he was helping Zhong Yuhuan pack, he had put her swimsuit in. Of course, this scene was not filmed. The program staff was still very clear about what they should and shouldn't film.
But when Huo Chengming looked at the swimsuit, the scene of Zhong Yuhuan in her full-body swimsuit during the first season came to mind.
That connection became out of control.
The door to the devil in his inner heart was gently opened.
Huo Chengming punched the wall.
The skin on his finger immediately split after he punched the wall. It even started bleeding.

But Huo Chengming wasn't thinking about that at all.
He felt like he was a beast, having that kind of unmentionable thoughts at that moment.
The door suddenly opened.
Zhong Yuhuan's head peeked out. "Why'd you smash my wall?"
Huo Chengming said, "Practicing boxing." Then he turned quickly and lost all his demeanor for the first time as he fled away.
Zhong Yuhuan: "?"
She suddenly felt that Huo Chengming could really be crazy.
The departure time was 8:00 AM, but at 7:00 AM. The program team had already arrived. They carefully walked into the villa, holding cameras. The villa had never been photographed so detailedly because before then, information about Zhong Yuhuan had not been exposed yet.
When everyone gathered, they quickly had breakfast, then left right away.
The third season of recording was even smoother than the second. There were even more attractions to visit. After three days, everyone returned from Italy.
And under the anticipation of the fans, the third season quickly began broadcasting.
They still didn't know how much more information there was this time, compared to the other times, and how much it would blow up.
《Time Travel》filmed for three days, but the entire broadcast of the show only took two hours.
Zhong Yuhuan reached the hot search on the dawn of the broadcast date.
Everyone was already numb to that. Some even joked that Zhong Yuhuan would dominate the hot search every Saturday until three days after.
Clicking open the third season of《Time Travel》, there was already a dense bullet screen before the footage even began.
"Sit down!"
"Ahahahaha my Yuhuan is finally here!"
"Li Jinyuan, Little Huo, Wen Yongchen I'm coming!"
Then, the camera shook, first showing Ge Mei's home, then Wen Yongchen, Gu Yuling, etc. filming until they finished packing. The next day, they would go by car to the airport. Then, it cut to another guest.
Normally, Li Jinyuan would be after Gu Yuling, but there wasn't even a hint of his shadow this time.
The bullet screen immediately exploded.
"Why is my Li not there?"
"? What's the program team trying to do?"
Instantly, the camera turned and showed a blue ceiling. As the camera slowly moved down, the first thing to appear was a room decorated in Mediterranean style.
A large wardrobe, a beautiful dressing table packed with girly limited-edition makeup… clearly showing that this was a girl's home.
Then, the scene showed a middle-aged woman dressed as a maid.
At the same time, the screen showed: "Zhong Yuhuan's House"
"Is it because the web already found out her background, so they stopped hiding it?!"
"Sure enough, she's rich! Ahahaha I'm going crazy!"
"That dressing table! That wardrobe! That maid! It's what I've dreamt of!"
"Is Miss Zhong not home today?" the staff in the scene asked.
"Mhm, not here. I'm helping the miss pack," the maid said.
The maid just finished speaking before there was a sound of footsteps approaching.
Someone asked, "Where's Huanhuan?"
"Miss went to the company," the maid said.
Then, the person who spoke walked into the room and therefore entered into the view of the camera. He was wearing normal grey home wear. The softness of the home wear made his edges and corners softer. Without the suit and wearing fluffy slippers, it was very cute.
And the bullet screen exploded then.
"Ahahahahahahahaha fuck it's crazy! Who is that?! Huo Chengming?!"
"My God, little Huo ahahaha! Why's little Huo here? Uh oh the program team's doing something big!"
"Why's little Huo wearing rabbit shoes?! This isn't a domineering president! But what to do when it's so attractive?"
"Uhhhh call Huanhuan! I've called this before so many times, but…"
"Following the previous, but this time sounds a lot more intimate mmm. It's not possible, really not…"
"Is it really not a CP?"
"Packing for Huanhuan?" Huo Chengming asked in the scene.

Chapter 217
The maid nodded. "Yes, young master."
"Let me." Huo Chengming walked over while talking, then kneeled.
The bullet screen exploded again.
"An overbearing president wearing a suit. A good family man without a suit. This is just setting me up!"
"Suit= little wolf-dog, pajamas= little milk dog!"
"Tidying up pajamas, TVT even if it's just an older brother, I still want to explode. I also want this type of older brother."
[I feel like T^T might be a better face? (for TVT).]

"Am I the only one who noticed how pretty little Huo's waistline is?"
"His back muscles are also pretty! Even if I can't see them right now since they're covered by clothes!"
The maid stepped aside.
Huo Chengming really began packing.
Outside of the scene, the staff coughed, asking, "May we interview Mr. Huo?"
"Mhm," Huo Chengming answered casually, continuously focusing on the things in his hands.
"Does Mr. Huo know what luggage Miss Zhong needs?"
"I know. I've packed for her before many times."
"Whilst in England?" the staff quickly followed.
"Mhm."
"Mr. Huo is really caring," the staff exclaimed.
"It's only natural," Huo Chengming replied simply, his movements unaffected.
So the camera followed his actions.
The bullet screen had never paused for even an instant.
"News! Before he packed for her many, many times! What a peerless big brother!"
"Something's wrong. If they really are siblings, then why is one surnamed Huo and another surnamed Zhong?"
"Older cousin? Godbrother?"
"I already have no brain. I don't want to know how they're related. I only want to look at this scene ten thousand times!"
"Little Huo is really useful. Looking so scary, like a wild wolf! But so meticulous when packing, even remembering the pillow cover…"
Finally, Huo Chengming finished packing.
The camera also cut to Ling Lan, Yin Qiqi's side. The bullet screen was still asking why Li Jinyuan hadn't appeared yet.
The video was already arranged before, so of course, it wouldn't change just because of the bullet screen. The video continued and quickly got to the departure on the second day. And this time, the cameramen was even more meticulous, filming from just outside the villa's gate, capturing the entire villa in the frame. Then, going inside, walking past the small garden and into the living room.
When the cameramen heard footsteps coming down the stairs, they immediately raised the cameras.
The first was Zhong Yuhuan, wearing high heels, even holding a bowl of strawberries.
"Would you like some?" Zhong Yuhuan asked the staff.
The staff member shook their head, unconsciously backing up, face a bit red.
Zhong Yuhuan was even prettier and vibrant than the strawberries. She wore a knee-length dress. The gradient of the dress ended in crimson, like a large blooming flower.
With her hair loose, she lost the look of being a capable tour guide, changing into a look of laziness and charm. Really similar to a pampered treasure in someone's palm.
Zhong Yuhuan passed the strawberries to a maid to the side, then sat at the dining table, slowly having breakfast.
"Zhong Yuhuan is too good, right? Why is she looking better and better?"
"A person looking better than strawberries… I'm jealous."
"She really is a rich miss loved by everyone. Try asking who wouldn't like this type of girl?"
Not long after, footsteps were heard again.
The camera turned.
Li Jinyuan came down holding an overcoat. He was also holding a pair of fuzzy crimson socks in his left hand, contrasting with his image.
"Huanhuan, you forgot to wear socks," Li Jinyuan reminded, then arrived in front of Zhong Yuhuan in the blink of an eye.
The bullet screen really became crazy.
"Ahahahahaha Li Jinyuan's also here! I'm dying! Ahahahahaha!
"I really wanna be Zhong Yuhuan! Her luck* is too good! I'm going crazy with jealousy!"
*Is sort of like she reincarnated very good if that makes sense… (raws are 她投的胎).
"So because everyone found out, they completely let loose, not being afraid of getting filmed at all!"
"This really looks like a family hahaha!"
Li Jinyuan walked over, and seeing the milk residue on Zhong Yuhuan's lips, he said in a low voice, "We still have time. You can eat another mini cake."
Zhong Yuhuan: "Mhm, give me the socks."
Li Jinyuan bent down, going on one knee. "Raise your foot."
Zhong Yuhuan's entire face: ?
Chapter 218
"Raise your foot." Li Jinyuan patiently repeated, even adding on, "Hurry up Huanhuan."
With such a gentle tone, it warmed people's hearts.
The people didn't know if Zhong Yuhuan was touched, but they were.
"Getting down on a knee! Putting on socks! Ahhhhh! I only know how to ahhhhh now!"
"Having my idol kneel and put socks on my feet, I could pass away right then ahhh!"
"I'm a lemon! Was the overcoat brought for Zhong Yuhuan?"
"That tone is too gentle. Li Jinyuan really seems like an irresistible man…"
Support our newn0vel(0rg)
Zhong Yuhuan raised her feet, letting Li Jinyuan put on her socks. Then, she twisted uncomfortably and lowered her head to finish the cake.
Soon, another set of footsteps came.
Huo Chengming walked down with two suitcases. He had a white polo shirt. The white shirt was a bit translucent, so everyone could see his strong muscles under the shirt on the screen.
"I really adore that! What type of immortal homelife does Zhong Yuhuan normally have?"
"That shirt… I'm really… I approve!"
"Little Huo lifts weights at home when he's free, doesn't he?"
"Kneeling and begging for little Huo to be an actor, playing an overbearing president. I'd be loving it to death!"
"Hahahahaha am I the only one who noticed that little Huo carried the suitcases while younger brother Li got to put on Zhong Yuhuan's socks. Didn't he take advantage of little Huo?"
"Enough, hurry and eat," Zhong Yuhuan said.
"Okay."
The two tall young men then sat down.
The bullet screen refreshed again: "Such a feast for the eyes mmm."
"How could I eat when looking at that kind of face?"
The three finished eating quickly. After finishing, Zhong Yuhuan received a phone call, but the video didn't expose the phone call.
Then everyone left the living room.
The bullet screen was unwilling: "I can watch them have breakfast for a century!"
"Can't there be more scenes? This is really good!"
"Three people in the same frame. A feast for the eyes!"
Leaving the villa, they went by the small garden again, to outside the gate.
They saw a car coming. The camera shook and only showed that the car was black. Soon, the car stopped and the camera pointed at Zhong Yuhuan. Everyone watched Zhong Yuhuan slowly approach the car.
"Older cousin." Zhong Yuhuan's tone was a bit helpless.
A man departed from the car. The camera only showed a pair of shoes and a hand that he extended to carry Zhong Yuhuan's bag.
That hand had clearly distinct knuckles, slender fingers, and fair skin. At a glance, it was clear that it was a pampered hand.
"Who's this handsome man?"
*No idea what "舞草" means but context clues and 校草 and the like give off the impression that it's some sort of handsome man :/
"L-L-Lang Jinzhi? No, right?"
"Ahhhhhh how could there be such pretty hands?!"
"This is also a handsome man! I'm about to die from how jealous I am of Zhong Yuhuan!"
"I didn't pay that much attention to this program before. Knowing that you're going to film today, I came to bring you to the airport. Come aboard," the mysterious man said, his voice low and a bit cool. The voice with the charm of a mature man sounded very good in the ears.
"Voice is good. Hands are good-looking… Begging for the camera to show him ahhhh! Pretty please!"
"The voiceholics and handholics are dying. It's true."
*"声控+手控" voice fetish + hand fetish I think? I dunno what the proper terms are.
"Before, I looked at the pictures that the paparazzi took, and he already looked handsome from far away. A very good body. What a family! Literally a perfect family!"
The camera followed. Zhong Yuhuan and the man went in, and a cameraman sat in the passenger seat.
Very naturally, the car already did not have room for both Huo Chengming and Li Jinyuan.
There was only one seat left, for only one person.
Huo Chengming and Li Jinyuan looked at each other.
"Older cousin," the two said at almost the same time.
The man didn't even turn back, "You two go sit in the program group's car." Then he smoothly closed the car door, blocking them out.
Huo Chengming: "…"
Li Jinyuan: "…"
"Hahahaha older cousin's so strong."
"Dying of laughter. Pampering Huanhuan. Does she really need to be fought over?"
Chapter 219
"I really want to be Zhong Yuhuan. Nobody can stop me!"
Saying that he would send her to the airport, he fulfilled his word. And on the way, this mysterious man conversed with Zhong Yuhuan.
"Where are you going?"
"Italy."
"I have an old classmate there. See him if you have any problems."
"Mhm."
"It's dry on a plane. Drink more water and wear some warmer clothes."
Support our newn0vel(0rg)
"Okay, I'll listen to older cousin. Are you not busy today?"
"Busy, but still have time to send you off." The man pondered. "It's what I should be doing."
"Okay!" Zhong Yuhuan smiled. "Thank you, older cousin."
"I'm out of ink."
"Hm?"
The camera captured Zhong Yuhuan's shocked expression.
Zhong Yuhuan quickly said, "Oh, out of ink? Would it be too late if it's until after I come back?"
"Not too late."
The entire bullet screen: "?"
"What does "I'm out of ink" mean?"
"This phrase of "I'm out of ink" is a bit cute uwu. Is older cousin a squid?"
"Hahahaha what the hell is "out of ink"? Is he an incarnation of a pen?"
"No, it's for a pen from Zhong Yuhuan."
"? upstairs, how do you know? Guessed?"
The car stopped, and everyone arrived at the airport. Zhong Yuhuan and the cameraman got out of the car.
Zhong Yuhuan turned and waved towards the car. "Bye, older cousin. Wait until I come back. I'll buy you new ink."
"Okay," the man responded.
The car started again. As the car windows moved up, the camera finally captured the person in the car.
The man's hair was meticulously combed, wearing a blue suit. He wore gold-rimmed glasses, handsome eyebrows, carrying a bit of an indifferent and sharp aura, charming with his abstinence.
The camera swung, and the man quickly went away.
"Ahhhhh I'm just a screaming chicken. I only know how to scream!"
"Thank goodness. I paused before the handsome brother left. Patting my chest."
"Why are you taking screenshots? To stare dumbly at them?!"
"After looking at the bullet screen, I crazily went back to pause countless times until I finally paused it right at older cousin's face.
"Continuing the comment above, they are too good-looking. The entire family has immortal looks!"
"Did older cousin come because he couldn't stand seeing younger brother Li and little Huo appear on screen?"
"I can't close the bullet screen, so let me continue the previous comment. If I were Huanhuan's older brother, I would also appear on screen."
"Ahhh why is it so cute? I can't take it. Begging older cousin to also record a show please."
"Please!"
"Please +10086."
The bullet screeners felt full of resentment as they watched the man's car leave.
When they arrived at the departure lounge, Wen Yongchen and Co. were already there. Only Ge Mei wasn't, because she was participating in an event elsewhere, so she was going to fly to Italy alone.
Upon meeting, everyone first greeted each other.
Gu Yuling hugged Zhong Yuhuan, saying with a smile, "Did you bring hanfu this time? Huanhuan is super popular!"
The bullet screen was quickly covered. "I'll answer for Huanhuan: didn't bring!"
"Hahahaha little Huo forgot to bring hanfu and lolita dresses! There's only a small fashion skirt!"
"Am I the only person who thinks that Gu Yuling's enthusiasm suddenly doubled?"
"Gu Yuling wants to be shipped with Li Jinyuan as a CP, so she's pleasing Zhong Yuhuan?"
Then Wen Yongchen prepared to hug Zhong Yuhuan.
But when he opened his arms, Li Jinyuan suddenly rushed in and hugged Wen Yongchen."
Bullet screen: "Hahahaha, fuck I'm laughing like crazy."
"Brother Wen was opening his arms towards Zhong Yuhuan, clearly wanting to hug Zhong Yuhuan."
"But got blocked hahahaha just what is Li Jinyuan playing at ahahahaha."
"I suppose he doesn't want Zhong Yuhuan to date? Protecting his older sister."
"Hahahaha don't delay your sister's love. Little brother Li is too much."
"Even if there wasn't little brother Li, or little Huo, it would probably be direct fighting, right?"
"Little Huo didn't even move. In the previous scene, his hand seems to be injured.
Gu Yuling also noticed what the bullet screen pointed out.
Gu Yuling slightly bent over, looking closer, and asked in a low voice, "What happened to Mr. Huo's hand?"
Huo Chengming's fingers were obviously bruised, and even had some faint scratches. It hurt just from looking at it.
Chapter 220
Huo Chengming breezily said, "Practiced boxing."
Gu Yuling exclaimed, "So cool, Mr. Huo! It turns out that Mr. Huo also knows how to box!"
Zhong Yuhuan interrupted angrily, "Mhm, practicing against walls."
Huo Chengming stood there, not moving, not even blushing. Only, he didn't look at Zhong Yuhuan, as if he was afraid of meeting her gaze.
The bullet screen was dying of laughter.
"Hahahahahaha it turns out that he was hurt from practicing boxing."
"Using the wall to practice? Huh?"
Support our newn0vel(0rg)
"Little Huo is awesome!"
"Little Huo would only punch the wall because something happened, right?"
"A sexy CEO hitting the wall. Just think of the handsome picture!"
After boarding the plane, the scene quickly switched to when they got to Italy.
Li Jinyuan took initiative to say, "Is it alright if I'm the tour guide this season?"
Everyone quickly voted for the result.
The votes took effect and the guide was changed to Li Jinyuan. Zhong Yuhuan became a model tourist.
The hotel for that night was still the one the Zhong Yuhuan booked.
Li Jinyuan led everyone to check-in while Zhong Yuhuan was slumped on the sofa, lazily leaning against it. There was a large statue of a lion beside her.
"A real Beauty and the Beast."
"Zhong Yuhuan is beautiful when she's sitting, walking, and lying down."
The bullet screen couldn't help but sigh.
Gu Yuling walked over to ask her, "Are you tired? Did you not bring flats? If you didn't, I can lend you some."
Yin Qiqi also came over to express her concern.
Everyone's attitude clearly changed.
And at that time, Huo Chengming went over, kneeling in front of Zhong Yuhuan and said, "Come up, I'll piggyback you upstairs."
Zhong Yuhuan didn't move.
Huo Chengming held her waist with his backhand, pulling her towards himself, easily transferring Zhong Yuhuan to his back. "Hold on tight. Don't slide off."
Zhong Yuhuan was startled, hurriedly hugging his neck.
Huo Chengming stood, his movements very familiar, and carried Zhong Yuhuan upstairs just like that.
Li Jinyuan seeing this: "…"
The bullet screen started hahahaha-ing again.
"Hahahahaha little brother Li is definitely regretting right now."
"Li Jinyuan: What a shitty position being the guide is. If I had known that, I would've given it to Wen Yongchen."
"Li Jinyuan: I also want to piggyback Huanhuan _(:зゝ∠)_"
"Don't play around so much okay? Who would rush to carry Zhong Yuhuan?"
"Longing and loss are written all over Li Jinyuan's face. Anyone with eyes can see that!"
The comments quickly became jumbled up.
And in the scene, Huo Chengming already carried Zhong Yuhuan upstairs.
Everyone assumes that this was just pampering his younger sister a lot.
But reality showed that before their identities were exposed, touching her waist, giving votes, giving spending money, making midnight snacks were all light events.
After going upstairs, everyone said that Zhong Yuhuan was tired from being the guide before, so she should get first pick for rooms this time. Zhong Yuhuan wasn't polite and hypocritical and instantly chose the best room. She wasn't ashamed because she already had things that countless people could not have in their whole lives, so why should she wrong herself in front of the camera?
After dividing the rooms, Zhong Yuhuan sat on the sofa in the room while Huo Chengming went to look for hot water.
"Drink some warm water to relieve fatigue." After a short time, Huo Chengming carried warm water over. He passed the cup to Zhong Yuhuan. Without waiting for Zhong Yuhuan to hold it, he suddenly withdrew his hand.
Zhong Yuhuan looked unhappily at him.
Huo Chengming said in a low voice, "It's still a bit hot."
As he said that, he used his finger to feel the cup, then lowered his head and blew.
Yin Qiqi took initiative to bring snacks over, asking Zhong Yuhuan, "There's still a while before we go eat. Are you hungry? Why don't you eat some of these?"
Zhong Yuhuan nestled in the sofa, not moving. "Not eating."
Yin Qiqi's face stiffened, and then looked towards Huo Chengming.
Huo Chengming didn't look at her. He was asking Zhong Yuhuan, "If you don't want to move, then just soak your feet. We'll bring food from outside."
Zhong Yuhuan nodded.
Li Jinyuan quickly entered the door and said, "We're living in a homestay tomorrow. There's a kitchen there, so we can cook our own food."
