Chapter 1225 Choosing Gifts
“No matter what happens, I’m here.” Jun Shiyan frowned slightly and pressed his forehead against the girl’s smooth and fair forehead. “Don’t worry.”
That night, Ling Sheng did not sleep well. She even had a nightmare. However, after waking up from the dream, she could not remember what the dream was about.
The day before the end of the first episode, the guests had a task to do. They went to pick out gifts for their favorite person. The next day was the official matchup. They would choose their imaginary love partner and proceed with the filming of the show.
In order to prevent them from knowing each other’s situation in advance, the male and female guests would act separately.
Ling Sheng, Su Yi, and Shi Lingyu, the three little fairies, were wearing beautiful dresses and carrying bags as they walked out. As they walked, they laughed and chatted, discussing what they should buy when they went to the county later.
This was a small town. It had just been developed and the facilities were not completed yet. If they wanted to buy something suitable, they had to go to a county city an hour away from the town.
“Let’s go to Zhiwei Restaurant for breakfast first. Their steamed dumplings are the best, they have thin skin and are juicy, and their crab roe dumplings are the best.” As Shi Lingyu said that, she could not help but swallow her saliva.
Their days here were tight. The money given by the production team was only enough for them to fill their stomach. It was impossible for them to eat good food or snacks!
Yesterday, the production team had said that they could go out today and had even given them five hundred yuan each. She already planned out her strategy last night and was just waiting to go to the county.

ery prosperous, but the county city was a famous tourist city in China. It was surrounded by 4A and 5A level attractions.
At the side, Shi Lingyu counted with her fingers what she wanted to eat when they reached the county city. She pulled Ling Sheng. “Sheng Sheng, what do you want to eat? Do you want to eat everything I said?”
Ling Sheng thought to herself, I don’t want to eat it. I’m not craving it at all, I’ve already tried all kinds of delicious restaurants and snacks around here.
Every night, her man would prepare a lot of delicious food for her. However, she ate it secretly. During the filming, it was not appropriate for her to ask Sister Yu and the rest to join her.
Yun Ruo carried her bag and ran out of the house. She shouted to them, “Sheng Sheng, slow down. Wait for me.”
Ling Sheng turned around and saw Yun Ruo running over. She had specially picked a dress that was of the same color as the three of them. Her makeup was exquisite, and she actually found her plastic surgery pretty pleasing to the eye after looking at her for a long time.
After Yun Ruo chased after them, Song Xiyue lifted her feet and walked out the door. Seeing that the four of them had already left the courtyard, her eyes were gloomy and her lips curled up mockingly.
Today was her last attempt and also her last chance. No matter what, she had to succeed.
There were three rows of seats in the car. The front seat was the driver’s seat and the front pa.s.senger seat. The driver and the cameraman occupied them.
There were two seats in the second row.
Ling Sheng, Su Yi, and Shi Lingyu sat in the last row. There were three seats so they could squeeze together.
“Eh?” Su Yi frowned strangely and pulled her seatbelt again, muttering, “Why is the seatbelt broken? How about yours?”
“Mine is also broken.” Ling Sheng pulled at her seatbelt.
Shi Lingyu looked at her own, it was also faulty.
“Mine too.” Yun Ruo asked the driver sent by the production team. “Sir, the seatbelt is broken. Can we change to another car?”
“It might be too late to change cars now.” The cameraman smiled apologetically. “There are no traffic police or cameras along the way. No one will inspect us. Old Liu has been driving for more than 20 years. Don’t worry, there won’t be any danger.”
In a small town like this, the sense of security was not that strong. Not to mention the pa.s.sengers on the bus, even the drivers, did not have their seatbelts on. They were all fine.
It was good to be on guard, but they had to deal with emergencies in a special way. They were about to set off, and it was not easy to change cars.
Song Xiyue had just poked her head in and helped herself to the nearest seat. Seeing that they were all quite serious, she asked, “What’s wrong?”
Yun Ruo could not ignore her. After all, she had already asked. She replied, “The seatbelts in the car are all broken.”
“Sir, please give us a different car!” Song Xiyue looked worried. “It’s a mountain road. It’s not safe without functioning seat belts.”
“It’s fine, we only have an hour’s journey. Just treat it as taking a bus, there are no seat belts on buses too.” The driver, Old Liu, patted his chest and promised them. “I’m a good driver. Take my car and relax. I promise I won’t let anything happen to you.”
These small celebrities were all pampered girls. He was thinking that they were just worried out of boredom. How could anything happen on a journey that was so short?
The male guests were one step ahead of the female guests and left half an hour ago. As for the female guests, they had to do their makeup and pick out their clothes, so it was quite time-consuming.
The car could not be changed. When Director Yu Zhong heard that they were worried about their safety, he specially came over to guarantee that with the driver Old Liu around, he would definitely send them safely to the county city and bring them back.
Since she had already said that, Ling Sheng and the rest could not say anything else. The other party had already stated solemnly that changing the car would delay the filming progress, so they did not insist.
The mountain road from the town to the county city was actually very wide. Because they wanted to develop the tourism industry, the construction was very beautiful. It was much wider than ordinary mountain roads.
Shi Lingyu secretly pulled Ling Sheng and glanced in Song Xiyue’s direction before saying softly, “Song Xiyue’s seatbelt seems to be fine.”
Ling Sheng took a look. She did not know when Song Xiyue had put on her seatbelt, it was functioning well. Theirs were all faulty, why was she the only functioning one?
“Maybe it was a coincidence!” Su Yi said softly.
The car wasn’t found by Song Xiyue either, it was found by the production team. Whether the seatbelt was functioning or not should have had nothing to do with her.
Moreover, the driver wasn’t being careless. He was indeed driving steadily and she didn’t feel any b.u.mps on the road.
When it came to people she did not trust, Ling Sheng would always use the worst possible malice to judge them. Her gaze turned cold as she carefully observed the changes in Song Xiyue’s expression.
“Sheng Sheng, do you want to sit here with me?” Song Xiyue sensed her gaze and turned around to look at her with a smile. “If you’re still worried, let’s switch places. My seatbelt is functioning well.”
Yun Ruo had long noticed that the seatbelt on Song Xiyue’s seat was functioning, so she subconsciously became vigilant. She kept feeling that she was definitely up to no good.
