Chapter 28 Time to Visit the Set

As the hot wind blew, the leaves rustled.

Lu Mingyu carried a basket of canariums and followed closely behind Lu Yang.

He caught a glimpse of Lu Yang’s bamboo basket, which seemed to be filled with something.

“Yangyang, what’s in your bag? Is it heavy? I can carry it for you.”

Lu Yang lowered her head and looked at the snake that had long given up struggling and was leisurely flicking its tongue. She casually responded, “I just caught a pet.”

“A pet?” Lu Mingyu repeated after her.

He stopped and bent down curiously. “What pet? Is it a squirrel or a rabbit?”

Lu Mingyu’s hand had just touched the bamboo basket. He felt a shiver before pulling it open, and as it did so, the object in front of him gradually came into focus.

His pupils trembled. “Yangyang, why did you bring a snake with you? It’s too dangerous!”

Lu Mingyu wanted to take it but was stopped by Lu Yang.

“Mingyu, be careful. Don’t scare it.”

“Scare it?” Lu Mingyu asked.

“It can be used to make a creamy soup.” Lu Yang responded, “Its meat won’t be as flavorful if you scare it.”

When Lu Mingyu visited Lu Yang when they were younger, she mentioned a few times that snakes and chicken were often put together to make a creamy soup in the countryside.

Lu Mingyu stared at Lu Yang, deep in thought. His eyes were filled with complicated emotions.

But soon, he was enlightened.

Lu Yang’s body was weak after she was born, so she was placed in the care of their grandmother in the countryside. Their grandmother and grandfather were both chinese medicine and western medicine practitioners. Since they allowed Lu Yang to eat this, it should be fine.

After continuously brainwashing himself, Lu Mingyu accepted it.

Nothing was more important than Lu Yang’s liking it.

Lu Mingyu’s thoughts were in a mess. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and said, “Yangyang, that cloth just now seems to be a clue!”

The director picked up the thermos with trembling hands, and he mused, “You guys finally remembered it… I’m exhausted.”

Lu Yang’s thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes rippled. “Mission 7, it’s written in runic alphabets.”

Lu Mingyu changed his direction and wanted to run back to pick up the mission slip. However, he immediately stopped when he heard Lu Yang’s voice.

“It’s not just a random drawing?”

Lu Mingyu read it three times and threw it away when he couldn’t understand it.

But he suddenly remembered that it had the logo of the program team.

“Nope,” Lu Yang replied.

She grabbed Lu Mingyu’s hand and pointed at his watch. “You can answer the questions with the watch.”

The program team gave each guest an electronic watch before shooting.

If the guests wanted to forfeit, they could do so with the watch.

After getting a clue, the guests could answer on their watch. If they answer correctly, they would get bonus points and a specific task.

Lin Xinmeng knew about the watch’s hidden function earlier than Lu Yang, but she was more cautious and didn’t dare to do anything.

Lu Mingyu looked at Lu Yang pressing on her watch. After a while, mission 7 was displayed on it.

It was a lock with the number 7 on it.

“Yangyang, what’s written with the runic alphabets?” Lu Mingyu asked.

“I don’t know,” she replied.

“What’s the answer then?” Lu Mingyu asked.

Lu Yang looked to the upper left. Her eyes were darting around as she said softly, “Lao Tzu.”

Lu Mingyu did not ask anything, and his slender fingers tapped on the electronic screen.

“I wrote it.”

In less than half a minute, the program team broadcasted, “For mission 7, the answer ‘Lu Yang’ is incorrect.”

Lu Yang was speechless.

As long as she answered the questions, the program team would inform everyone whether she was wrong or not.

This was also the reason for Lin Xinmeng’s concern. She didn’t want others to know that she had clues.

Lu Mingyu saw Lu Yang’s frozen expression and thought that she was upset. He consoled, “Yangyang, it’s okay. It’s okay if you got it wrong.”

Lu Yang was speechless.

There was a moment of silence between them.

Lu Yang took a deep breath. “Who wrote Taoism Classics?”

“Lao Tzu.” Lu Mingyu replied.

“So…” Lu Yang spoke slowly, trying to hint at him.

Lu Mingyu came to a realization. “I see!”

“Isn’t Lu Mingyu so silly? Is his brain damaged?”

“I bet Lu Yang thinks that anyone else in that situation will be speechless too.”

“Handsome, please promise me not to spend too much time with your brain. Since the brain is damaged, I’m afraid you’ll be led astray.”

Lu Mingyu quickly typed in a new answer.

“For mission 7, the answer ‘Lao Tzu’ is correct.”

“Five points have been added for Lu Mingyu and Lu Yang, who are in team three.”

Lu Mingyu raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were full of admiration. “Yangyang, how did you know the answer?”

“I guessed it,” Lu Yang replied.

“What do you mean?” Lu Mingyu asked.

“You said that the person who hung the rag on the branch had no morals.”

“Morals… Taoism Classics!”

“Yes.”

Lu Yang could only recognize the runic alphabet but she couldn’t understand what was written.

Why did she think of Taoism Classics?

The answer was also very simple. The character of Lu Mingyu was one who lived a life full of regrets.

She could only vaguely understand a few runic alphabets on the cloth and could not directly deduce the answer.

However, Lu Mingyu’s words enlightened her.

In the original novel, there was a passage where Lu Mingyu claimed that he nearly won the Golden Melody Awards, almost made the female lead like him, almost released a new album, and had come close to surviving.

Thinking of this, Lu Yang pursed her lips further.

She thought, “It isn’t the female protagonist’s fault that Lu Mingyu, a male supporting role, likes her. However, if he were to lose his life for this, I won’t let this happen.”

The netizens realized that no matter how big or small the matter was, Lu Yang would just smile and let it pass.

However, there were also people who saw the hidden intentions behind Lu Yang’s smile.

“You don’t say. Lu Mingyu’s scandals have decreased a lot since he appeared in the second season of wilderness.”

Zhao Yanshu pulled out a chair and sat down. He spoke to Jiang Yanzhou, who was doing his hair.

He implied, “Lu Mingyu made the right choice by appearing on this variety show. Consider the recent shows he participated in; they ultimately ended up being canceled.”

Jiang Yanzhou closed his eyes and didn’t reply.

Zhao Yanshu turned his chair around and looked at the man in the mirror. “Why didn’t you watch your younger sister’s variety show today?”

Jiang Yanzhou’s eyelids were raised. His brows had a hint of fatigue, but his eyes had reverted to their usual indifference.

The stylist, Chole, was filled with curiosity. “Younger sister? Does Teacher Jiang have a sister?”

“Yeah.” Zhao Yanzhou answered, “Her name is Lu Yang. You should be able to find out more about her if you browse the internet recently.”

Chole was fiddling with his hair as she chatted. “Lu Yang? I have an impression of this little girl. But, isn’t she Lu Mingyu’s sister?”

Zhao Yanshu went on, ” Lu Yang, Jiang Yanzhou. You can think about these two names.”

“What?” Chole asked.

Zhao Yanshu responded, “Pair Yang and Zhou, and Lu and Jiang. Don’t you think their names suggest that they are related?”

Jiang Yanzhou was speechless.

Zhao Yanshu inquired, “Chole, do you still remember? Previously, a marketing account feigned to be mysterious and tweeted that Lu Mingyu and Jiang Yanzhou are brothers by birth. It sounds poetic to pair Lu and Jiang, Ming and Zhou.”

Chole was using all her strength to stop herself from laughing out loud, so she could only change the topic. “Teacher Jiang suits every hairstyle.”

The man’s perfect jawline, straight nose, beautiful shaped lips, and sickly pale skin all added a hint of frailty to his overall appearance.

A famous magazine once commented that Jiang Yanzhou had a face that was meant for movies.

Jiang Yanzhou’s eyelids were half-closed, and his expression was lazy. “Isn’t it time to visit the set?”
