Upon the dawn of a new day, Qi Shuning found herself barely clinging to the will to survive.
In stark contrast, Si Fuqing’s vitality seemed to grow stronger, she could devour several chickens daily.
The first episode of the show, capturing four days of raw footage, was scheduled to premiere next Thursday on the Great Xia TV and various video platforms.
It was a rarity for a variety show to gain a star-rated slot.
Yet, with the backing of the prestigious Great Xia TV and a veteran director at the helm, the show had secured the coveted prime time slot of 8:00 to 10:30 PM.
The production team’s reputation for quality had garnered nationwide anticipation for the program.
Initially, the director had planned to focus the editing around Yuan Heping and Xu Jiannian. However, he soon decided to allocate more screen time to Si Fuqing.
He couldn’t allow himself to feel stuffed, he wanted all the viewers in front of their TVs to be shocked.
After four days of filming, Si Fuqing finally earned a day off.
Seizing this opportunity, she headed to the hotel where Yu Xiheng was staying, only to find Feng San in his place.
Si Fuqing’s fists tightened as she inquired, ‘Where’s the boss?”
Feng San responded, “Brother Nine went to some village and didn’t take me along. He hasn’t returned for two days, but he’s surely fine. Miss Si, Brother Nine wants you to focus on your show.”
Raising an eyebrow, Si Fuqing asked, “He hasn’t been back in two days?”
She had just finished her first round of filming, and her boss was conspicuously absent.
Could it be that he was deliberately avoiding her?
Feng San pondered and added, “Brother Nine visits here periodically. There must be something important.”
Si Fuqing’s suspicions were confirmed.
Yu Xiheng had unintentionally encountered members of the Miracle Doctor
Alliance and sought treatment for his leg injury.
His inability to walk had been genuine, but with the Alliance’s help, his condition had significantly improved.
She eradicated the issue entirely.
“Alright,” Si Fuqing smiled. “Make sure to inform me immediately as he returns. I can’t wait to see him.’
“Tell him, ‘Each day apart feels like years. I miss him terribly.”‘ She emphasized the word “immediately.”
Feng San shuddered at her intense demeanor.
The way Miss Si acted felt like she was ready to eat Brother Nine, alive.
“Off to meet a friend,” Si Fuqing waved goodbye, “make sure you remember.”
Once she left, Feng San quickly grabbed his phone, “Hello, Brother Nine, did you do something wrong? Miss Si…”
Meanwhile, Si Fuqing met with Jiang Changning, who had prepared refreshments in anticipation of her visit.
“How’s the survival experience?” Jiang Changning asked.
“It’s more of a vacation than survival,” Si Fuqing shrugged. “But eating roasted meat daily is becoming a bit boring, since I can’t cook”
“Let me prepare some refreshing juice for you,” Jiang Changning offered.
Just then, Si Fuqing, sensing something amiss, asked, “Do you always have this many visitors?
Jiang Changning frowned, “What do you mean?”
“There are a lot of people outside,” Si Fuqing noted, “and they don’t seem friendly.”
Jiang Changning’s expression changed as she thought of something, “I could be… ”
She pulled off her gloves, and quickly ran outside.
Si Fuqing’s expression also looked serious, following close behind. Outside, a crowd had gathered at the entrance of the house, consisting of tall and burly men.
These men were trying to force their way in, but Mom Jiang stood firm, blocking their path, preventing their entry for the moment.
“What are you doing?” Jiang Changning’s expression changed instantly. “Mom!”
“Get out of the way!”
A towering man, his face hardening, pushed Mom Jiang forcefully.
Just as she was about to fall, a hand reached out to support her from behind, steadying her on her feet.
Mom Jiang, trembling with fear, saw Jiang Changning approaching. “Ningning, what are you doing here? Your father and brother aren’t here, hurry back inside!”
Blocked again, the tall man’s gaze turned even fiercer. “Who’s this? Meddling in our village’s affairs? If you know what’s good for you, get lost!”
Si Fuqing slowly straightened up, rolling up his sleeves. “Let me introduce myself..”
