Chapter 8 Punishment
The live broadcast footage of "Goodbye Lover".
The night in the business world is brightly lit.
In a luxurious villa, under a dazzling crystal chandelier, three groups of guests met for the first time and exchanged pleasantries.
The live stream footage shows a dark, rural dirt road where the RV carrying Tian Xiwei and Li Shen is "wandering".
The scene cuts back to the villa.
Light music, Australian steak, Boston lobster, imported liquor... the guests clinked glasses, laughed and chatted, enjoying themselves immensely.
The scene cuts again.
Li Shen stared intently at his phone.
Tian Xiwei, wearing large pink headphones, leaned against the car headrest, closing her eyes to rest.
The two remained silent for a long time, each absorbed in their own world, ignoring the other.
There were no lobsters, no foreign liquor, no laughter, only a suffocating silence, an increasingly rugged dirt road, and an ever-deepening night!
The RV bumped along in the pitch-black night, passing through dense forest, when suddenly the view opened up ahead.
The thick darkness of night suddenly faded away, and under a bright moon, the vast sea shimmered with ripples like scattered silver, stretching endlessly towards the distant horizon.
The sound of waves crashing against the shore drifted in through the car window. Tian Xiwei suddenly opened her eyes and gazed into the distance, where the shimmering silver light illuminated her dark eyes.
She pressed herself against the car window, exclaiming in surprise, "The sea?!"
Director Liu Qing nodded: "Yes, the sea. As a punishment for the lowest score of 10, the two guests will spend the night on the beach tonight, including setting up tents, making makeshift toilets, installing lighting equipment, and so on."
Tian Xiwei asked in surprise, "We're going to do it ourselves?"
"right."
"Oh?!" Tian Xiwei's tone rose, and she subconsciously nudged Li Shen. "The sea!"
"Hmm, sea, sea," Li Shen replied perfunctorily without even looking up.
He rested his chin on his left arm, focused on his phone, his brows slightly furrowed, looking somewhat annoyed by being disturbed.
On the phone screen, on the "Starlight" account of the "Huaxia Talent Pool - Poets" app, several pretentious poems were posted, with the poet's level being - fifth tier (the weakest level in the poetry world).
He spent more than half an hour browsing through ancient and modern poems and songs on Earth, but did not find any works that were exactly the same as those in his previous life.
With more than half an hour left before handing in the phone, Li Shen began to browse through the basic information about this world.
There's no time to delve into the details of each industry, so let's first get a basic understanding of the world as a whole.
At this moment, the comments section erupted with emotion:
[Isn't this incredibly cold-hearted?]
[He actually got impatient with my goddess?! What the hell!]
[Other guests enjoyed red wine, steak, and lobster, while Oda slept on the beach – how pitiful!]
[Crispy Bones Taro: Material Basis -10, Emotional Value -100]
[She suffered like this on her very first day on the show; Xiaotian has really been ruined by this scumbag!]
[Poor Oda, my heart aches for this pervert!]
[Xiaotian, you can't tolerate this temper of yours, yell at him!!!]
……
To the surprise of netizens, Tian Xiwei did not go berserk when the car door opened.
Instead, the displeasure that had been building on her face was blown away by the sea breeze, and her steps toward the beach became noticeably lighter, with unexpected joy appearing in her large almond-shaped eyes.
Soon, she had left Li Shen far, far behind.
The closer she got to the beach, the softer the sand became. Her high heels sank deeper and deeper into the sand as she stepped. She spread her arms to maintain her balance, a sweet smile spreading across her lips, revealing her signature single dimple, which seemed to be filled with the moonlight of midsummer.
At this moment, the entire production team was at the RV, watching Tian Xiwei and Li Shen from a distance.
The only way to create a natural and comfortable space for the guests to spend time together was for the VJ to cross the railing and walk onto the beach, filming them all the way with a telephoto lens.
On the monitor, Tian Xiwei's sweet smile filled the entire screen.
Liu Qing smiled appreciatively: "This girl is so easily satisfied!"
Chen Lan curled her lip and pointed at Li Shen's back: "This scumbag is so easily satisfied, a cell phone is enough."
As everyone looked over, they saw Li Shen lagging far behind Tian Xiwei, walking slowly with his head down and his eyes glued to his phone.
As Tian Xiwei walked to the beach, she carried her high heels in her small hands, walked barefoot in the waves, and twirled around on the moonlit beach.
"Xiaotian is so beautiful! Li Shen, how come he's unmoved?" Liu Qing was greatly surprised. "He's a hopeless cell phone addict!"
Under the moonlight, Tian Xiwei waded through the waves, inhaling the scent of the seawater, and her tense mind, which had been strained for many years, instantly relaxed.
The past six years have been a period of rapid growth in her career, with one TV series after another and announcements squeezed in whenever she could... During those six years, she worked year-round without a break, and in the past month, she has only been able to sleep for 4 hours a day.
Every rising star endures unimaginable pressure.
When she saw a female celebrity faint at the airport, netizens saw it as a publicity stunt, but she saw it as a reflection of her future self.
Her physical fatigue accumulated day by day, and her spirit was gradually depleted.
Sometimes she wondered, what was the point of a villa? She had had enough; a 70-80 square meter house with a soft bed was enough.
Sometimes she wondered, what's the point of fame and fortune? Well, fame and fortune do have meaning!
She didn't want to be just a pretty face in other people's eyes; she wanted to prove herself!
The sea breeze dispelled her weariness.
The waves washed away her worries.
For the past six years, she has longed for just one day, even if it's just one day, to lie in bed and get a good night's sleep, or to sit in a quiet place and daydream. That would be enough to make her happy.
However, for a rising star, this is clearly a pipe dream.
The Chinese entertainment industry is incredibly turbulent.
She turned to look at Li Shen, her eyes now filled with gratitude, not resentment.
Thank you for the 10 points, Crispy Bones Taro.
"Let's set up the tent first!"
Suddenly, two small, white, and tender feet appeared in Li Shen's lowered eyes, with some soft, fine sand clinging to their delicate toes.
He looked up and found that Tian Xiwei's gaze was gentle, her resentment had dissipated, and her voice was soft and sweet, which sounded exceptionally pleasant.
"Okay, let's set up the tent first."
Li Shen nodded in agreement and put his phone in his pocket: "Come on, let's set up the tent!"
[The jerk finally stopped playing on his phone!]
[My phone addiction was terminal, but a sweet girl cured it!]
[A sweet girl's tone softens even the hardest heart!]
……
Tian Xiwei opened the storage bag, took out the tent, and she and Li Shen each took a corner of the tent and spread the tent fabric on the beach.
As she went to get the tent poles, she heard a "bang." She turned around and saw Li Shen sprawled out on the tent fabric, leisurely taking out his phone from his pocket and turning on the screen...
"What are you doing?"
"Look at your phone!"
"Didn't you say you'd pitch a tent with me?"
"Yes, I took it."
"It's not finished yet."
"I only said to set up the tent, I didn't say I had to finish setting it up!"
"You...you..."
