Chapter 237: Female Simp in Farming Variety Show (45)

Nan Gongjing was about to say something more when suddenly, the lights flashed back on!

The power’s back?

That fast?

The sly fox narrowed his eyes, but the next second, the door was abruptly kicked open from the outside!

"Tang Qing! Are you okay?"

Only that idiot Pei Chen could kick like that.

The moment the power went out, Pei Chen had rushed downstairs, all he could think about was Tang Qing...

Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the lower floor, Ye Yunyun told him that Tang Qing was looking for Nan Gongjing.

Seemed... kinda urgent.

What could possibly happen to Nan Gongjing? That show-off was probably up to no good!

With that thought in mind, the moment the door opened, Pei Chen indeed saw Nan Gongjing clinging to Tang Qing. He immediately snapped, "What are you doing so close?"

"Quit being such a wimp..."

Without bothering to ask if Nan Gongjing was okay with it, Pei Chen pulled him off Tang Qing. Holding Nan Gongjing’s arm, Pei Chen muttered, "What’s wrong with you?"

"You’re all weak—what’s wrong?"

Though the young master’s words sounded concerned, his gaze lingered on Tang Qing.

"I’m fine." Not keen on Pei Chen’s sweaty hands, Nan Gongjing straightened slightly, avoiding contact. "It was too dark. Couldn’t see a damn thing."

"Even if it’s dark, you shouldn’t be all over Tang Qing..."

Seeing that Nan Gongjing seemed unharmed, the young master still complained, "There’s a difference between men and women. What if your army of fangirls saw this? It’d be hard to explain."

"And that crap you posted on Weibo..."

"Cut the crap."

Just as Pei Chen was about to continue, he was taken aback by Nan Gongjing’s response. "Who says I was lying?"

"Pei Chen, ever think..."

"What if I wasn’t joking?"

As he spoke, Nan Gongjing reverted to his cool and collected self, his eyes always carrying a hint of amusement.

What the hell?

Serious? Since when does he do ‘serious’?

Catching his drift, Pei Chen’s first instinct was to glance at Tang Qing!

Phew...

Tang Qing probably had no clue what Nan Gongjing had posted on Weibo.

Seeing Tang Qing's expression unchanged, Pei Chen's worried heart relaxed slightly.

In the group's awkward silence, it was Feng Xingzhou who spoke first, "The circuit tripped earlier. I've already reset the breaker."

"If everything's fine, let's all return to our rooms."

Pei Chen: "Right, let's go back!"

Driven by animal instinct, Pei Chen felt staying in Nan Gongjing's room wasn't a good choice.

Especially when meeting Nan Gongjing's gaze, which was full of cloying sweetness, Pei Chen hastily added, "Tang Qing, you should rest early too."

"I'll walk you to your room."

Afraid Nan Gongjing might say something misleading again, Pei Chen grabbed Tang Qing and hurried away.

Watching Tang Qing's departing figure, Nan Gongjing's smiling, gentle eyes suddenly met Feng Xingzhou's cold stare.

"You did it on purpose."

The typically stern Grand Film Emperor's aura turned icy as he continued, "When I went to fix the breaker just now, I saw your fingerprints on it."

Normally no one touches the breaker, which was covered in thick dust. Feng Xingzhou noticed the fingerprints only after restoring power.

Someone had deliberately tripped the breaker.

Faced with this accusation, Nan Gongjing merely paused briefly before resuming his usual smile, replying slowly, "I don't understand what the Grand Film Emperor means..."

"You understand perfectly."

Ignoring Nan Gongjing's evasiveness, Feng Xingzhou grew more icy, "I just want to remind you—don't take advantage of others' kindness for your own selfish motives."

"Selfish motives?"

Chewing on these words, the foxy smile brightened suddenly, "Perhaps it's sincerity?"

"What? Does the Grand Film Emperor care so much about my sincerity?"

"Since you're rarely this talkative today, let me ask you something too..."

"What's the real reason you haven't taken on any film projects recently?"

From subtle clues, Nan Gongjing had noticed something unusual.

Feng Xingzhou didn't answer. Turning away, he closed the door behind him, blocking Nan Gongjing's probing gaze.

"Wow! Love Points are up!"

Back in the room, the system finally pieced together why Tang Qing had purposely fallen into Nan Gongjing's trap earlier. It later realized Tang Qing must've deliberately gone downstairs right after the power went out.

She showed concern for Nan Gongjing to make Feng Xingzhou anxious...

"Hehehe, you're brilliant!" The system cheerfully reported the recent Love Points growth: "The Grand Film Emperor just got Nan Gongjing triggered another 5 Love Points from him—now his Love Points score is up to 87!"

"Nan Gongjing's Love Points score: 67."

"Pei Chen's Love Points score is 72 now!"

"Tang Qing, you won't believe this—after you left, Feng Xingzhou stayed behind in Nan Gongjing's room longer..." With this inside scoop, the system even reported the conversation between Feng Xingzhou and Nan Gongjing.

Tang Qing: "Oh? He's quite attentive."

It seems that Nan Gongjing's little scheme didn't escape the notice of the Grand Film Emperor.

"Hehehe, I’m giving this round to the wifey!" the system piped up cheerfully. After spending this much time together, the doting film emperor was still the best!

His quiet everyday attentiveness was meticulous and thoughtful.

As for Nan Gongjing... the romance hunter's carefully laid traps, methodically planned, were pretty exciting too.

The next day, the guests received a new task.

"Bamboo Leaf Handicrafts"

Unlike before, this task was arranged by the director's team. As a special guest on the show, Tang Qing also needed to complete it.

"Using bamboo leaves as material, go wild with your creativity. Later, we’ll put up everyone's creations with buying links in the livestream, and every penny goes to the village’s elementary school."

"The children need a new set of uniforms."

Standing before the guests, Qi Ming announced the rules of the task.

"Isn’t this my useless director? This task is actually thoughtful. I’ll hold off on one insult for now."

"Hahaha, watch your mouth! Director Qi might report you!"

Due to that censorship incident a while back, netizens had clashed with Qi Ming many times, leaving plenty of insulting comments—all of which were mass-reported...

It was only later that netizens realized it was Qi Ming himself reporting those comments.

Amid the laughter, many also expressed their desire to score their idol’s handmade pieces!

"Back off, everyone! That's mine! Deity’s work!"

"I really want Pei Chen’s! Hahaha! I just know the young master will whip up something crazy!"

...

The bamboo leaves laid out before the guests had just been picked from the back mountain, still glistening with morning dew and lush green.
