'Is the salary and time negotiable?
'It seems that they are very sincere.'
'Could it be that this show is a scam?'
Ye Lingchen thought to himself and asked, "What's the name of your show, and what exactly does it entail?"
"Our show is called Life's Struggles," Li Lihua explained. Li Lihua explained, "The main focus is actually on daily life. The location is a beautiful countryside. Apart from you, there will be a few special guests and regular guests. You'll need to be self-sufficient in the countryside. The program will be broadcasted live with multiple cameras, and there will be some editing in the later stages before it will be broadcast on TV."
"I see." Ye Lingchen nodded. "Can you tell me who's participating?"
Ye Lingchen asked that question purely because he had nothing better to do. He paid little attention to the people in the entertainment industry, so he might not know them even if they told him.
"We need to keep the special guests a secret, but we can tell you that the regular guests are Huang Lei, He Jia, and Wei Daxun," Li Lihua said with a smile.
"Oh."
Ye Lingchen responded casually. As expected, he did not know them. "When does this show start?"
"We'll start in four days. The location will be in Mount Li. You'll be our first guest. Someone will be there to welcome you when you arrive at Mount Li." Li Lihua did not expect Ye Lingchen to agree so readily. Her voice was filled with surprise.
In fact, Apple TV had always been famous for its variety shows and was considered a relatively popular station. However, after Banana TV's Survival on Deserted Island became popular, they also felt pressured. That was why they launched Life's Struggles, hoping to increase their ratings.
They invited a popular sports star, hoping that Ye Lingchen could surprise her.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Lingchen deliberately searched for Life's Struggles online. It was indeed a variety show that Apple TV had just launched. The theme was for people to be self-sufficient and create wealth through their own hands.
That was considered a story about the struggles of the countryside. Coupled with the beautiful location, it would definitely attract a large number of viewers.
The next day, Apple TV's staff contacted Ye Lingchen, saying that they had booked a ticket for him to Mount Li the next day. They asked Ye Lingchen if he was pressed for time and if he was pressed for time, they would change it.
Ye Lingchen hesitated for a moment, then decided to go the next day. There was not much time left before the show started.
…
"Lingchen, come out for dinner," Zhang Yunxi shouted at Ye Lingchen downstairs.
"Yes, I'm coming down."
Ye Lingchen walked downstairs, washed his hands, and sat at the dining table. Zhang Yunxi had already prepared the bowls and chopsticks.
However, Ye Lingchen did not move. Instead, he sat on the chair. "Yunxi, I have something to tell you. I'm preparing to go to Mount Li to record a show. I'm participating in a variety show. I might not be able to come back anytime soon."
Zhang Yunxi's hand paused for a moment, then she smiled and said, "Lingchen, this is a good thing. You'll be a real superstar in the future."
Ye Lingchen could sense a hint of bitterness in her smile.
"You must take good care of yourself at home. Don't do any hard work yourself. Leave it all to Miyako," Ye Lingchen said, only to receive a big eye roll from Miyako.
She had changed a lot and learned a lot from Ye Lingchen. She loved and feared Ye Lingchen at the same time.
"When are you leaving?" Zhang Yunxi asked.
"I need to go there early to prepare the tickets for tomorrow."
"So urgent?" Zhang Yunxi was slightly taken aback. She stopped eating and quickly stood up. "Then I'll help you pack your things."
Ye Lingchen watched as Zhang Yunxi neatly stacked his clothes into the suitcase. He was in a daze for a moment.
His mother was right. Yunxi was a good girl. She was beautiful, virtuous, and not delicate at all.
At night, not long after Ye Lingchen went upstairs, he heard a series of footsteps. It was filled with hesitation and apprehension as it walked up the stairs bit by bit. It finally stopped at the door of his room, hesitating.
Ye Lingchen opened the door on his own accord.
"Yunxi."
Zhang Yunxi was wearing a pink pajamas. Her hair was still wet and had a refreshing fragrance. It was obvious that she had just taken a shower.
"Lingchen, can you keep me company for a while?" Zhang Yunxi looked at Ye Lingchen with a complicated gaze.
"Come in." Ye Lingchen quickly moved aside. He felt that Zhang Yunxi had changed a lot after hearing that he was leaving.
"Lingchen."
"Yunxi."
The two of them spoke in unison. They looked at each other and were both stunned. Zhang Yunxi's face instantly turned red.
Ye Lingchen rubbed his nose. "Yunxi, you go first."
"Lingchen, I'm really glad to have met you in this life." Zhang Yunxi looked at Ye Lingchen in a daze. She bit her lip. "You've saved me too many times. Thank you."
"Yunxi, with our relationship, you're treating me like an outsider if you say thank you," Ye Lingchen said with a smile.
Zhang Yunxi's eyes suddenly focused and said, "What's our relationship?"
"Uh …" Ye Lingchen was stunned for a moment. "You're the belle of our village, and the school belle in the past. As a man, I can't let you get bullied."
"Then do you think I'm pretty?" Zhang Yunxi continued to ask.
"You are," Ye Lingchen answered without hesitation, then added, "Very pretty."
Zhang Yunxi's face had a hint of shyness and joy. She then closed her eyes and said softly, "Can you hug me?"
Ye Lingchen looked at Zhang Yunxi who was like a sleeping beauty. His heart palpitated. He took a deep breath and suppressed the feelings in his heart, then hugged Zhang Yunxi in his arms.
Zhang Yunxi's arms then hugged Ye Lingchen tightly, very tightly. She then whispered into Ye Lingchen's ear, "Lingchen, I like you."
Ye Lingchen's body shuddered violently, then he heard Zhang Yunxi continue, "Actually, after you helped me fend off that Fake Taoist Priest in Rugao City, I started liking you. I really like you. I snuck to Capital City because I thought I could be closer to you."
"Now that you're getting more and more outstanding, I suddenly feel like I'm getting further and further away from you. I'm afraid that one day, I won't even have the right to be by your side."
Zhang Yunxi was obviously very emotional and choked with sobs.
Initially, she buried all of that in her heart. She was already satisfied to be able to live under the same roof as Ye Lingchen. However, seeing Ye Lingchen getting more and more outstanding, and now preparing to enter the entertainment industry, she was completely afraid. She was afraid that one day, a stranger would come and chase her away. She was afraid that she would no longer have the right to be by Ye Lingchen's side.
Ye Lingchen hugged Zhang Yunxi completely in his arms, smelling her fragrance, then said with a smile, "Silly, I like you too."
"R-really?" Zhang Yunxi's eyes were filled with tears, looking at Ye Lingchen with extreme surprise.
"Really!"
Zhang Yunxi raised her head and closed her eyes, "Do you want me …"
It was a sleepless night …
