Chapter 94

[Ah, wife! Tease me, tease me, wife come tease me!! (Heartbreaking)]

[Showing a wise look, I seem to see two green hats, but I won’t say who. Haha]

[@husbands, didn’t expect the wives from the last show to run away, what are your thoughts?]

[But speaking of it, Le Chuxin clearly doesn’t want to hold back the team. After all, she’s not truly unable to try, so the more Bai Jing and the others kindly advise her, the more guilty she might feel, right?]

[Indeed, although everyone means well, but since they’ve already come this far, if it’s just her that’s missing, when they find out there’s not enough funding later, they won’t be able to resist thinking about this challenge.]

[Sheng Xia must have seen this point, that’s why she said it. Let me say it again, although she’s acting tough and spoiled, she’s really very gentle!]

Le Chuxin looked at Sheng Xia, couldn’t help but smile, and took the initiative to hold her hand tightly, “Okay, I’ve heard that watching the sunset on the tower bridge is very romantic. I also want to go and see.”

As if inspired by Sheng Xia, Le Chuxin took a long breath and then turned to Bai Jing and Tao Rou apologetically, “I’m sorry, I still want to give it a try. If I can go, I should go, after all, we are in this together.”

“I might be a bit slow, so I hope you can wait for me.”

Perceiving something from their conversation, Bai Jing no longer objected, just said straightforwardly, “What’s the big deal? We are a team, we should support each other.”

Tao Rou also nodded to her, “Don’t be afraid, if it doesn’t work out, just close your eyes, and we’ll lead you over.”

Although Sheng Lanqiu had been silent all along, she was actually very worried that Le Chu Xin would really give up.

Today, Tao Rou just got lucky. If the others don’t have enough funding when they take turns as tour guides later, won’t they be in trouble?

So when she saw Le Chuxin insisting, she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. However, she didn’t expect that her moment of relaxation would be keenly captured by the audience, and even spark discussion.

[Sheng Lanqiu’s expression just now, I shouldn’t have misread it, right? While everyone was moved by the team spirit, her relieved look, fearing that Le Chuxin would give up, what does it mean?]

【It’s hard to change one’s nature; I could see long ago that she is selfish. While others are here to enjoy and play, she’s only concerned with comparing and suppressing others. She really doesn’t fit into the show; it’s disgusting.】

【I understand now; she and the Shi family are birds of a feather. No wonder she was frequently criticized before, and Shi’s family didn’t bother to intervene even when the hot searches were dominated. It’s just pitiful for us, cherishing him more and more, hoping it’s true; our speculation; so his biological mother will come back for him.】

【Sheng Lanqiu doesn’t seem as bad as you all say. I’ve watched for a long time and haven’t noticed anything wrong with her expression. Are you all overanalyzing?】

【White-washing dogs, go away, and the water army too (sarcastically).】

【Water army, please take your whitewashing rhetoric and get lost!】

After several episodes trending on social media; fermenting, even if there are paid social media armies trying to muddy the waters, find people to criticize, and wash the flows of Sheng Lanqiu’s reputation; netizens won’t believe it anymore.

Especially fans who used to speak positively about Sheng Lanqiu, it seems they have also sensed something and gradually fallen silent.

The manager seeing that speaking out results in public being automatically scolded, and no one believes him anymore, he’s having a headache.

He really can’t understand why everything was fine before, but after participating in a program, it became a nationwide blacklash?

Clearly aware of how repulsed netizens are towards Sheng Lanqiu, not only getting criticized whenever she appears but also, shortly after the program aired, the trending hashtag #ShengLanqiuGetOutOfEntertainmentIndustry; conspicuously occupied the top spot.

Thinking about how Sheng Lanqiu had promised confidently that participating in this show would definitely make her popular, the manager couldn’t help but feel speechless and regretful.

Although he doesn’t understand why there’s such widespread malice just because of a child’s education issue. But her career has indeed suffered serious consequences not only losing endorsements, but even her previously well-received TV show ratings plummeted.

In this situation, whether it’s endorsements or directors, they naturally wouldn’t want to collaborate with Sheng Lanqiu anymore. Does she really have a chance to turn things around?

Thinking that Shi’s family didn’t even make a move to protect the child, the manager pinched his nose, sighed deeply, and was already considering whether to just give up on her.

Meanwhile, at this moment, Le Chuxin was finally led by Sheng Xia, step by step, to the other end of the glass bridge, walking onto the tower bridge.

Then they saw the children who had been waiting here for a long time.

“Congratulations on overcoming your fears and completing the challenge set by the program.”

Watching the children happily rushing into their mothers’ arms, Director Xu smiled and said, “As a reward, why not enjoy the sunset together with the little ones?”

Bai Jing, with a hint of annoyance, remarked, “Is that a reward? The key is to remember to give us more budget.”

Director Xu, with a serious expression, turned to look at the river, pretending not to hear.

While being held by Yin Qinya, proudly boasting about “Mom is amazing,” Le Chuxin, realizing that she had actually walked over and completed the challenge, couldn’t help but blush, her heartbeat accelerating.

“It’s not that Mom is amazing, it’s your Aunt Xia Xia… who’s amazing.”

She said this quickly and shyly, then took a long breath while hugging her daughter, looking towards the distant sky.

With the sunset happening at that moment, the horizon was painted with colorful clouds, little by little.

Top of Form

Dyed in shades of orange-red and purple hues, intertwining to create an irresistibly captivating color palette, the river’s gleam extended the circular sun’s orange glow infinitely. As the sky gradually transformed into a profound blue, merging with the river, it resembled a vivid and stunning oil painting.

Romantic and breathtaking.

“If I had given up just now, would I have missed this place?”

Le Chuxin suddenly muttered in a low voice, her face showing a sense of relief. “Persistence indeed has its meaning; thinking about it carefully, the path just now didn’t seem that frightening.”

“But you didn’t miss it, congratulations, Chuxin,” Tao Rou also smiled. “The sunset is truly beautiful, especially when we watch it together; it becomes even more unforgettable.”

Bai Jing agreed, saying, “Actually, once you get used to it, it’s not that scary, right Xia Xia?”

Le Chuxin, with her hair tousled by the wind, smiled at them and then turned her head to look at Sheng Xia.

At that moment, Sheng Xia was holding the twins, leaning against the bridge railing. Noticing their gaze, she thought for a moment and lazily said, “Although the sunset is beautiful, a brave heart is even more beautiful.”

“So—”

Just when everyone was touched, she suddenly pointed at the almost-setting sun and said seriously, “Look at this orange-red sunset doesn’t it look like caramelized peanuts?”

Before anyone could react, Sheng Xia turned her head to the nearby snack vendor and ordered two cups of caramelized peanuts.

Having caught a whiff of the aroma as she approached, Sheng Xia had been craving them for a while and finally had the chance to indulge.

—Smells so good, they must be delicious!

Everyone: “…?”

Viewers comments: [……]

—Truly Sheng Xia! The atmosphere destroyer!

However, completely oblivious to the sudden silence around her, as the snack vendor handed over the cups filled with caramelized peanuts, Feng Xuchen couldn’t help but emerge from Sheng Xia’s embrace.

He willingly took it and showed a happy smile, saying, “Thank you.”

Although he could only use simple language, his voice was soft and had a kind of clumsiness that sounded cute.

The snack vendor couldn’t help but glance at him a few more times, also smiling, and deliberately added some more peanuts to his cup. “No need to be polite.”

Feng Xuran was currently putting on gloves. Seeing that Sheng Xia was already blinking her eyes, cooperatively opening her mouth, she fed her a peanut in this pose.

Noticing that she didn’t close her mouth, the little guy fed in another one, and yet another one—

Alright, this time she finally closed her mouth satisfactorily.

Feng Xuran sighed in relief. “Is it delicious, Mom?”

The dominating peanut fragrance instantly spread in her mouth. Sheng Xia, satisfied, narrowed her eyes and said with a smile, “Delicious!”

“Ah, truly, when enjoying the scenery, it’s a perfect match with snacks; simply unbeatable.”

She looked up at the now deep and dark blue sky, expressing her feelings with a hint of melancholy, “Then you’ll find that the more you look, the more fragrant it becomes.”

Feng Jingxu took the other cup of caramelized peanuts handed to him by his brother, and hearing her pretending to be profound, he couldn’t help but retort with a speechless tone, “Isn’t that simply because you’re hungry?”

As he said this, the surroundings suddenly echoed with the sound of hungry stomachs.

Both the moms and the kids fell silent for a moment, then suddenly gathered around, saying, “Don’t say it, it really smells good!”

—The more you look, the more fragrant it becomes!

Feng Jingxu: “…?”

【Hahaha, I can’t anymore, I’m about to laugh my head off, laughing like a pig, laughing until the neighbors call the police, laughing until my mom comes to scold me; dog head!】

【Clearly it should be a warm and touching family scene, how did it turn into this? It’s all because of Sheng Xia’s fault!!】

【Haha, Sheng Xia is toxic! A master of destroying the atmosphere, and the scene suddenly becomes silly.】

【You know, you really shouldn’t say that, but it’s true, the more you look, the more fragrant it becomes. Now I’m hungry and really want a cup of caramelized peanuts.】

Although they had a satisfying day of fun, they had been on the move the entire day and didn’t get much rest. Additionally, the high-altitude scare added to the excitement. Now that they had finally calmed down, everyone naturally felt tired and hungry.

So, after a while, they could be seen carrying a cup of caramelized peanuts each, eating while walking down below, preparing to have dinner nearby.

Apparently, Tao Rou’s calculations were quite accurate. After dinner, they had just spent the budget given by the program.

Calculating the expenses for the full day’s itinerary, the group was suddenly filled with surprise and admiration, coming over to ask Tao Rou for tips.

The viewers comments couldn’t help but praise Tao Rou a few more times, and as a result, it started trending.

However, due to the insufficient budget, they had to walk back to their accommodation.

Fortunately, the tower bridge wasn’t too far from the apartment, and this entire street had many well-known attractions. The scenery during the day and night was entirely different.

They considered it as a digestion stroll, enjoying the night view while slowly walking back along the river street.

The stars were exceptionally bright at night, gently caressed by the breeze, and the sound of the flowing river added to the strange yet slow and peaceful atmosphere.

Even the little ones didn’t complain. They chased each other enthusiastically, finding it all quite interesting.

Finally back at their accommodation, they concluded today’s itinerary, and it was time for another draw for the tour guide card.

—This time, the lucky winner was Sheng Lanqiu.
