Chapter 9
Yan Ruo’s eyes were focused on the figure in the ice-skating rink, and his eyes shone. “Mn, introduce her to me?”
“What are you going to do?” Zhou Guang immediately became alert. “Don’t you fall for my sister.”
Yan Ruo did not reply, his gaze deep.
At this time, Bai Lin had just completed a half Toe Loop. Her movements were not sloppy at all, the ice shards shining under the light.
She stopped and looked over from the distance. Her eyes happened to meet the handsome stranger next to her brother.
He was a little taller than her brother. His facial features were prominent, he was thin, and he was very fair, making his dark eyes and red lips stand out even more.
His hair quietly rested on his forehead as he politely nodded at Bai Lin. His movements seemed to have been carefully calculated, perfect at every inch. He was like an expensive porcelain that could be easily crushed.
He felt like an existence that needed to be protected.
Bai Lin skated over. There was a little sheen of sweat on her forehead and Zhou Guang took some tissue to wipe it for her, casually introducing, “This is Yan Ruo, my friend. He’s the one who runs this place.”
Yan Ruo extended his hand to her. “h.e.l.lo.”
His hands were also beautiful. They were the hands of a young master who had never done ch.o.r.es—slender and fair with distinct knuckles.
Bai Lin accepted the handshake. There were calluses on her palm and the inside of her knuckles from her training previously, which Yan Ruo noticed. He paused and asked, “You’ve been using a gun?”
“Mn.” Bai Lin retracted her hand. “It’s a hobby.”
Such calluses did not come from a mere hobby.
Yan Ruo’s gaze turned contemplating.
Given that Yan Ruo and Bai Lin had been shaking hands for a little too long, Zhou Guang tugged Bai Lin to the side by her shoulder discreetly to separate the two of them. He told Yan Ruo, “Why did you come back? The place where you were filming is so close to Traveler. You can go there directly after you’re done filming, so you don’t have to take the plane.”
Yan Ruo, “I have something to do in City A. Got to come over and take a look.”
Bai Lin skated out to untie her shoelaces and heard Zhou Guang ask, “Who are you going to go to the variety show with?”
One was allowed to bring family members to the variety show, but if it was not convenient for the family members to come, the celebrities could also join another family.
Yan Ruo looked at Bai Lin. “Couldn’t find any.”
Yan Ruo looked polite but he, in fact, had a strong sense of boundary and propriety. Zhou Guang casually asked, “Then come to our group. My sister will take care of you.”
“Sure, thank you.”
Zhou Guang was speechless.
Excuse me? Where was his indifference?
…
The Brave Traveler was about to begin shooting, and Bai Xi and family were packing up.
The first season was shot on a deserted island. The specific requirements would change every season, and no one knew what they had to prepare in advance.
In spite of it, this was too much. Bai Xi frowned at Zhao Yuan who was stuffing expensive jewelry into her suitcase. “Mom, we don’t need so many things on the island.”
Zhao Yuan stopped and turned around to see her beautiful and obedient daughter looking at her worriedly. She said with confidence, “Oh, you don’t understand. These represent our Bai Family’s strength. One necklace costs a few million Yuan. It’ll make us look good.”
Bai Xi did not say anything more and smiled. “Okay, I got it.”
Bai Shao came down from upstairs. Bai Xi looked at the things in his bag. There were only some clothes that were still decent while the rest were all snacks.
“Jie,” Bai Shao said confidently, “This is an adventure kind of show but the production team can’t possibly be completely tactless, right? The partic.i.p.ants are all top-notch big shots, so they’ll definitely give some special treatment. I’ll secretly sneak some snacks in. With the condition of a resources shortage, I’ll give out some snacks if anyone wants them. It’ll be easy to create a bond with them.”
Bai Xi was so speechless she might as well turn mute.
It was clearly written in the contract that no staff was allowed to secretly return the things they had seized to the partic.i.p.ants.
This was breaking the rules, especially the rules of the game.
Even though Zhao Yuan’s luxury goods were useless, they were harmless. The things that Bai Shao brought would definitely be confiscated. After all, it was an adventure and survival show, not a vacation.
Bai Xi tried to persuade him again, but it was clear that Bai Shao’s comprehension level was completely different from that of ordinary people as his eyes lit up, and he took out a few bottles of drinks and replaced them with more snacks.
Bai Xi gave up.
Bai Xiao was not partic.i.p.ating but he kept urging Bai Xi to get Bai Lin back. He probably saw the Weibo post later and did not mention it again.
The two people who Bai Xi had brought along were burdens. Her mood was particularly heavy when she packed her luggage.
If she wanted to perform better in this show, she had to work harder. Thinking of this, Bai Xi made a phone call.
“h.e.l.lo, Qian-ge, it’s Xiao Xi.” Her voice was very sweet. “I’m packing my luggage now. There are too many things and I don’t know what to bring. Gege, give me some advice.”
