Chapter 241 Alone
The moment she made the plan, she anticipated that one day her scheme would be exposed.
Qin Meilian just didn't expect things to be exposed so quickly.
Ugh, why did I have to provoke those two big shots, Ye Jingke and Cheng Ai? I just asked for trouble!
The scene then switches back to Grandpa Zhang's house.
Liao Yunqing assembled the lantern frame, secured the small tray and hooks, and placed the candles with seriousness and care.
Cheng Ai used scissors to cut human skin and glued it little by little around the already prepared lantern frame.
The two worked together seamlessly, dividing tasks among themselves.
The long silence made Cheng Ai very sleepy.
She shook her head, sighed softly, and was filled with doubt.
Recording variety shows is really tough; there's no rest at any stage. Even with plenty of spiritual energy, frequent use will deplete your mental energy.
This level of fatigue is so unusual; it must be from not getting enough sleep!
Cheng Ai gently rubbed her temples, her brain working at lightning speed.
As far as I can remember, Qin Meilian got completely drunk when she was giving the guests tasks.
When she had a memory of it, she was flying in the sky with Liao Yunqing, and then she was stunned again.
In a hazy memory, she seemed to have gotten angry with Qin Meilian.
Cheng Ai tossed the freshly cut human skin onto the table, looked at the man beside her, and asked with a grin, "Hey Liao Yunqing, was I the tourist you rescued last night?"
Liao Yunqing glanced at her with a puzzled look, then slowly nodded.
Cheng Ai leaned to the side, adopting a fawning expression, "I'm feeling dizzy right now, can you tell me about the specific rescue process?"
Fearing the other party might misunderstand, she quickly explained, "The message sent in the group only had the result; I want to hear the details."
Liao Yunqing was eager to say a few more words to Cheng Ai, and immediately began to speak at length.
He didn't mention a word about being mistaken for Ye Jingke.
When Cheng Ai heard that she had almost strangled Qin Meilian and sent the group of little girls away without saying a word, she was completely stunned.
Alcohol is no good; it's best to avoid it in the future.
Having received the answer, she continued working.
There are nearly a hundred pieces of leather in the box; we won't be able to finish gluing them all if we don't hurry.
Liao Yunqing would glance at it every now and then and offer some guidance.
The sky grew increasingly overcast, but it still didn't rain.
There was no light in the kitchen, and making lanterns was delicate work that was hard on both the hands and eyes, so Cheng Ai had to make a few glowing blue origami cranes for illumination.
In the evening, eight guests gathered in front of Chen Gu's wooden house, which was surrounded by piles of white lanterns.
Upon careful counting, there are over four hundred.
The lantern stand was made of wood, and everyone's hands, except for Liao Yunyan and Xie Qing, had more or less splinters stuck in them, causing them considerable pain.
Ye Jingke took out nail clippers to remove the thorn from Cheng Ai's head. Liao Yunqing glanced at the affectionate couple, then looked straight ahead, no longer seeking to torture herself.
Liao Yunyan happened to see this action, and she curled her lips into an evil smile, her eyes filled with malice and malice.
Cheng Ai, even God is on my side, you're just waiting to die!
After Ye Jingke finished using the nail clippers, Zhong Zheyi borrowed them to remove the thorns from his nails.
Nan Chuan crossed his arms and stared blankly with his eyes down.
It was just a few splinters; the girl was weaker, and he, a grown man, had no intention of pulling them out.
Qin Meilian squatted alone among the pile of lanterns, poking and prodding here and there, feeling very bored.
She wasn't isolated by anyone; she isolated everyone!
Xie Qing stood next to Cheng Ai, muttering to herself, "Why isn't the village chief coming out to inspect the goods yet? Is he just leaving us hanging to make himself noticed? So annoying!"
A sudden chill ran down my spine, and an excited yet displeased voice rang in my ear, "Little girl, you have a delicate and beautiful appearance, but your mouth is a bit too much!"
Xie Qing twisted her neck rhythmically, bringing their faces extremely close together in a direct confrontation.
She screamed and frantically backed away, narrowly avoiding stepping on Cheng Ai's foot.
Chen Gu smiled gently, without making a scene, and simply picked up a white lantern to examine it carefully.
After a long pause, he nodded in satisfaction, waved his hand, and dismissed the guests. "Well done. Go back and rest now. Remember to wear your prettiest clothes tomorrow to participate in our village's unique lantern festival."
Grandpa Zhang's kitchen was filled with large fish and meat dishes.
Although the blue light emanating from the origami cranes made it look a bit eerie, it didn't stop everyone from being happy.
The photographers received their rations and returned to their tents to rest.
Xie Qing devoured a chicken wing, beaming with joy. The variety show would end tomorrow, and she wouldn't have to live in fear anymore.
Zhong Zheyi slurped noodles and ate fatty pig's trotters. The promotional video for animal protection has been filmed, and he has no work scheduled for next week, so he can finally get some rest.
Ye Jingke picked out fish bones, peeled shrimp, and gutted crabs, working tirelessly without complaint.
It's not good for Lü Hanmo to keep troubling Li Xiaolin by preparing meals for the guests. He needs to buy a few more properties and hire some trustworthy people to look after them.
Cheng Ai ate the meat that was put into her bowl spoonful by spoonful, feeling comfortable and content.
After living carefree for twenty years, I have finally found my purpose.
She needs to hone her acting skills, work hard to earn money by drawing talismans, and become someone worthy of Ye Jingke.
Nan Chuan ate his steak while looking at photos in his phone's album with a calm expression.
The boss has publicly announced his girlfriend; should he follow suit?
Although Liao Yunqing was eating, he kept glancing at Cheng Ai out of the corner of his eye.
I need to find an opportunity to talk to her about my mother, otherwise it will be too late.
Once everything was over, he used the excuse of thanking her to invite her out, and that would make it a romantic getaway for just the two of them.
Ye Jingke is handsome and rich, and he's not bad either. As long as he can keep Cheng Ai in line, why would he have to worry about not being able to marry a beautiful woman?
Liao Yunyan ate her rice rapidly, seemingly having something important to do.
Sure enough, she was the first to finish eating.
Liao Yunyan hurriedly put down her chopsticks and nudged Liao Yunqing's arm. "Big brother, I'm so sleepy. I'm afraid to walk alone at night. Can you take me back to Grandpa Wang's house?"
The two left side by side, Ye Jingke's eyes gleaming.
Throughout the day, whenever the guests gathered together, he would observe Liao Yunqing.
The other party disliked Cheng Ai very much yesterday, how come their attitude has changed 180 degrees in just one night?
Thinking about the styling he did this morning, Ye Jingke's forehead veins throbbed.
Men understand men best; Liao Yunqing has fallen for Cheng Ai!
Was it because of the feelings of affection they developed while rescuing tourists together last night?
Ye Jingke glanced at the girl beside him who was eating heartily, his eyes slightly cold.
Ai Ai is heartless and wouldn't intentionally seduce someone.
So, the one with the problem is Liao Yunqing!
One should not covet a friend's wife; such thoughts must be nipped in the bud.
Ye Jingke's attention was focused on Liao Yunqing, so he naturally overlooked Liao Yunyan's unusual behavior.
She was brave and not afraid of the dark at all; she was currently pulling her older brother deeper into the bamboo forest.
Liao Yunqing frowned deeply. "Yunyan, why did you bring me here?"
Liao Yunyan smiled slightly, leaned against the bamboo pole with her arms crossed, and said, "Big brother, you like Cheng Ai."
She used a declarative sentence, and her tone was confident.
Liao Yunqing was mortified, her ears turning red. "Don't talk nonsense, it's not true!"
"Then why do you keep sneaking peeks at her?" Liao Yunyan asked with a doting smile. "What can't we, siblings, say about each other? Just admit it, I won't laugh at you!"
