Chapter 7 Illusion
In the barrage, Ning Baixuan’s fans have already started cursing.
But this time, someone actually started speaking for Ning Baicha.
[You've never seen someone fall into water, so what if you were scared? Do you, Ning Baixuan's fans, have any manners? You're cursing people everywhere! ]
[You guys are scolding Ning Baixuan even though she didn't stand firmly? Why don't you blame the gravity of the earth? ]
"Since you're not feeling well, Xuanxuan, go back and rest. I'll find the ingredients."
Ning Baicha raised her hand to comfort Ning Baixuan and tidied her wet hair in front of the camera, with a very gentle gesture.
"Thank you, sister, you are so kind!"
Ning Baixuan felt guilty and moved, and lowered her head so that no one could see the pride in her eyes.
Although she failed to knock Ning Baicha and Lu Junheng into the water together, the current result is also in her favor.
Catching fish is so difficult, she doesn't have the confidence to do it, and Ning Baicha is even less likely to do it. She is now taking on the responsibility of finding the ingredients by herself. If she fails, the audience will definitely only blame Ning Baicha herself!
"Cha Cha, I'll go with you." Lu Junheng said immediately.
Although he fell into the water, he was already wearing his fishing gear, so his hair was just a little wet, and he was not as embarrassed as Ning Baixuan.
"Brother Lu, come back with me and blow dry your hair to avoid catching a cold." Ning Baixuan reached out and grabbed Lu Junheng.
The focus of the first stage is to collect ingredients. If you go back to the room to blow dry your hair, there will definitely be no camera following you, your exposure will be reduced, and you will be scolded by the audience for not putting in enough effort in the game.
So Lu Junheng didn't want to go back.
However, looking at Ning Baixuan's pitiful appearance and concerned eyes, he couldn't bear to refuse after all, and nodded: "Okay."
After the two left, the staff also dispersed, leaving Ning Baicha alone by the pool.
She was not surprised at all that Lu Junheng ran off with Ning Baixuan. After all, don't all men like the green tea type?
With them not around, she was no longer a hindrance. She rolled up her trouser legs and jumped directly into the water.
Unlike Ning Baixuan who wore a white long skirt, Ning Baicha knew that the program included outdoor activities, so she specially wore a T-shirt and overalls that were convenient for activities.
As she moved, the hem of her dress lifted slightly, revealing a beautiful slender waist. The program crew immediately turned the camera over, and there was a burst of exclamations in the barrage.
In the office, Shen Shijing had postponed the meeting for the third time.
But when he saw this scene, his brows frowned.
The camera repeatedly focuses on Ning Baicha's waist. Is this director professional? Is he filming a variety show?
Ning Baicha took the harpoon beside him, weighed it with his hand, and narrowed his eyes.
When she was a child in her previous life, she would go to her grandfather’s house in the countryside every summer vacation. There were streams, rivers and ponds everywhere in the water town. Her grandfather taught her how to fish. At that time, when she was less than ten years old, she could dive to the bottom of the water and bring a big crucian carp that was almost as heavy as herself ashore.
However, there was no need to use such difficult skills now. The pond was very shallow, and the fish in it were lazy and looked stupid. Ning Baicha felt that he could just bend down and reach out to catch enough for tonight's dinner.
But that would be inelegant.
Holding the harpoon, her slender arms formed beautiful lines in the sunlight. Ning Baicha tilted her head and aimed the best angle towards the camera.
[This picture is so beautiful! I took a lot of screenshots! I can use it as a wallpaper! ]
[Haha, if I pose now, it will be embarrassing if I can't catch anything later! ]
[If I can't catch anything later, I'll just pretend to faint, right? ]
Only a few viewers in the barrage were impressed by Ning Baicha's looks, while most of them were mocking her, thinking that she could not catch anything.
In the studio not far away, the director also signaled the cameraman to get ready: "We'll take a close-up of Ning Baicha's facial expression later, and film her reaction of not catching anything. If she's pretending to faint, go and save her after a few minutes."
Ning Baicha didn't know this.
After finding the right direction, she gently threw the harpoon.
The silver harpoon drew a shining silver arc in the air and hummed into the water.
With a rustling sound, she heard a slight movement and couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips.
He took a few steps forward and pulled out the harpoon. On the harpoon, a huge carp weighing five pounds was nailed at the tail and was lifted out of the water!
"Mr. Shen..."
In the office, Shen Shijing raised his hand to interrupt the assistant.
He leaned forward slightly, looking at the woman's confident smile on the screen, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
She actually has this ability?
Ning Baicha threw the first fish into the bucket. After that, he did not stop at all. He quickly adjusted his posture and cast the harpoon for the second time.
She was a little surprised that the fish here were even dumber than she expected.
It looks like we'll be able to complete the process of finding ingredients soon.
Ning Baicha catches one fish every half a minute. His speed is very fast. It seems that these fish have also understood the script and are very cooperative.
[I'm shocked! I can't catch fish so smoothly in the game! ]
[Goddess! My goddess! Goddess, don’t spear the fish! Spear me!]
Apart from the rapid growth of the barrage of comments, no one noticed that the camera was fixed on Ning Baicha and had not changed the angle for a long time.
The director and photographer were equally stunned and even forgot what they were doing.
They had made countless preparations, for example, Ning Baicha didn't catch anything, no one would help her out of her embarrassment, or she pretended to faint or caused other unexpected incidents to cover up her incompetence...
No one expected that Ning Baicha not only caught the fish, but also used a textbook method to catch fish!
In the barrage, more and more viewers are praising her.
When Lu Junheng came back, their group's fish bucket was full.
"Cha Cha, I'm back. Haven't you caught him yet? Let me help..."
Halfway through his words, Lu Junheng froze with his mouth half open.
He looked into the fish bucket in disbelief and even rubbed his eyes.
This action caused a burst of laughter to spread across the barrage.
[My brother Lu asked, does Cha Cha know magic? ]
[Why do I feel like a domineering female CEO doting on her little husband? Hahaha… I’m so touched! ]
Shen Shijing noticed this comment and then looked at Ning Baicha and Lu Junheng who appeared on the screen at the same time, and there was a flash of obvious displeasure in his eyes.
However, he did not realize why he was angry, nor did he realize that he seemed to have not paid attention to the scene over there with Ning Baixuan for a long time...
“Cha, Chacha, I didn’t expect you to be so powerful.”
Lu Junheng took a while to digest the fact and reached out to pick up the bucket: "Let me help you carry the fish back!"
Ning Baicha returned to the shore, and the curve at the corner of his lips froze for a moment.
It was a great day and she caught so many fish, but before she could be happy for a few minutes Lu Junheng came running over. What bad luck!
But she was still very professional and gave Lu Junheng a happy smile.
Lu Junheng was dazzled by her beautiful smile and looked at her in a trance for a moment.
Unexpectedly, the next moment Ning Baicha waved behind him: "Teacher Chang! Teacher Jiang! Let me give you some fish!"
She smiled at Chang Mengyu and Jiang Haibo in a joking tone, "It's all because I'm so beautiful that I attracted all the fish here, resulting in no fish over there! So I'll give you half!"
Ning Baicha's tone and posture carried the joy and coquettishness unique to a little girl. Although she deliberately said that she was so beautiful that the fish were attracted to her, there was no intention of showing off, which only made people feel cute.
Chang Mengyu and Jiang Haibo also smiled.
They are conservative and chose fishing, but unfortunately the effect was not good. After trying for a long time, they only caught two small fish the size of a palm. It is estimated that there is basically no meat except for bones, let alone using it as food.
"Thank you, Chacha!" Chang Mengyu said with a smile.
"It's okay, you guys come and choose!" Ning Baicha waved enthusiastically.
The two men came to the fish barrel, and Lu Junheng's attempt to help Ning Baicha carry the fish barrel back failed.
"We can just pick one at random..." Jiang Haibo scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
Both of them knew about Ning Baicha's dark history before recording the show, and they were even relieved that they were not assigned to the same group with her.
At this moment, I realized that she was such a nice person, and I felt secretly guilty.
"Take more! Otherwise, if we can't finish eating them, I'm afraid the program crew will put the fish back! Then I'll have caught them in vain?" Ning Baicha said mischievously.
She was joking enthusiastically with Chang Mengyu and Jiang Haibo, while Lu Junheng stood aside, unable to help in anything. He felt awkward and embarrassed, and instead seemed like an outsider.
Why did he feel like Ning Baicha was deliberately ignoring him? But this shouldn't be possible, maybe it was just his illusion?
