Rich Side Character Goes Viral for Gossiping on a Laid-Back Reality Show Ch. 84

Prev | Directory | Next

Overnight, tons of votes for the show's most popular guests dropped. The ones in front tried to shrink into the back row, suddenly too scared to appear on the show at all.

After a whole night of drama, He Jinran went from scummy heartbreaker to public laughingstock.

After all, he now held the record for fastest elimination in My Journey history.

The next day, before Director Qian even announced the day's task, someone completely unexpected came up to Yu Qianxia with a request.

"Ms. Yu, can I ask you to help expose someone for me?"

[????]

[??????????]

[Is this still Let's Go Travel Together? Or should we just rename it Let's Go Melon-Hunt Together?]

[LOL congrats to Sister Yu on getting another mission!]

Yu Qianxia looked a little surprised, maybe even slightly amused. "You sure about that?"

Standing in front of her, Lin Yu nodded firmly. "I'm sure."

Yu Qianxia let out a quiet laugh. "Alright then, who do you want to expose?"

Lin Yu glanced around. "Can we talk somewhere more private?"

Yu Qianxia nodded. "Sure."

So the two of them walked off into a quiet grove, out of the livestream's view.

The viewers were losing their minds.

[Help!! Why are they going off to whisper secrets?]

[Lin Yu, come on! Be real with us! Are we strangers to you? We're your family!!]

[Aaaaah what could you possibly need to hide from us VIP viewers?? Lin Yu, don't be ungrateful, spill it now!]

Ten minutes later, the two of them came out of the woods.

They were both good at keeping their emotions in check—Lin Yu still had that same indifferent face, and Yu Qianxia still wore her calm, faint smile.

The viewers couldn't read a thing from their expressions.

Si Churao couldn't hold it in anymore and quickly stepped up to ask, "What did Lin Yu tell you?"

Yu Qianxia glanced at Lin Yu, then patted Si Churao on the shoulder. "It's a personal matter, and nothing's confirmed yet. Once I expose it, won't you all know?"

[Ughhh why is Sister Yu teasing us now too!]

[Waaah I wanna know! Stop keeping us hanging and just tell us already!]

[I'm dying to hear this gossip!!]

Si Churao and Ji Minghan exchanged a look and shrugged helplessly. They could only hold back for now.

News that Yu Qianxia was helping Lin Yu expose someone exploded online, and with it, the show's traffic skyrocketed. Streaming views were shooting up like crazy.

Director Qian quietly shook his head. At this rate, the show really should've been called Let's Go Melon-Hunt Together.

The next day's mission still involved helping out, this time with harvesting tomatoes for the villagers.

After a full day's work, they finally wrapped up around 5 p.m.

Yu Qianxia went back to the dorms, took a shower, changed clothes, and started digging through her suitcase.

Si Churao walked in and saw her folding clothes, looking curious. "Where are you going?"

Yu Qianxia folded a shirt and answered, "I'm heading back to A City for a bit. Got something to take care of."

"Does it have to do with the melon?" Si Churao asked.

Yu Qianxia nodded. "Yeah."

"Oh god, now I really wanna know." Si Churao was getting itchier by the second. "Who is Lin Yu trying to expose? Someone in the industry? Is it someone I know?"

No matter how much Si Churao pried, Yu Qianxia refused to let anything slip.

Which just made Si Churao's melon-loving heart suffer even more.

Once Yu Qianxia finished packing, she left the dorms provided by the show.

But just as she reached the entrance of Fenghuang Village, a dark figure suddenly jumped out of the bushes.

In a flash, he was right in front of her.

Yu Qianxia's heart tensed. Her voice turned cold. "Who are you?"

The man was wearing a black mask. He was tall and lanky, with a dangerous energy radiating off him. He looked furious. Without a word, he lunged forward and grabbed her arm, trying to drag her into the bushes.

Yu Qianxia reacted fast. She twisted sharply and kicked toward his vulnerable spot.

Yu Qianxia's kick was anything but light. The man reacted half a beat too slow and took the hit square in the gut. A pained groan slipped from his throat as he doubled over in agony.

She didn't dare drag things out. It was only because she moved fast that she'd landed that kick in the first place, but strength-wise, a girl like her still couldn't compete with a grown man.

The village entrance was completely deserted, practically the middle of nowhere. If she stayed tangled up in this any longer, it'd only work against her.

Yu Qianxia spun around and bolted, but the man reacted quickly, grabbing the hem of her shirt.

Caught, her eyes darkened.

Just then, a figure suddenly flashed in front of her. A sharp grunt of pain came from the man's mouth.

Yu Qianxia looked up and saw a lean young guy with a backpack on his shoulders. He moved cleanly and fast—an elbow strike followed by a shoulder throw, and in a couple of swift moves, he had the masked man pinned to the ground.

The young guy glanced at Yu Qianxia, silently asking what she wanted to do with him.

She crouched down and yanked off the man's mask.

Underneath it was a face she knew all too well.

It was He Jinran.

Yu Qianxia's brows furrowed. "You trying to get back at me?"

Pinned to the ground, He Jinran's body writhed. He no longer had that clean-cut charm—his face was twisted and fierce. "Yu Qianxia! You ruined me! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have lost everything!"

"It's all your fault! Yours!"

He Jinran thrashed wildly under the young guy's grip.

The guy calmly unzipped his backpack with one hand and pulled out a nylon rope. In no time, he had He Jinran tied up tight.

Then, like an afterthought, he stuffed the black mask into He Jinran's mouth. The angry shouting cut off instantly.

The area fell quiet.

Yu Qianxia looked at the young man. "Thank you for today. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have gotten away so easily."

The guy looked pretty average, but there was a quiet integrity in his features, and he carried himself with a calm steadiness. When he heard her, he waved his hands quickly. "No need to thank me, Miss Yu. I'm just a tourist passing through and happened to come across it. Just lending a hand."

"What should I call you?" she asked.

He didn't dare meet her eyes, lowering his gaze shyly as he scratched his head. "I'm Yan Jin. You can just call me Xiao Yan, Miss Yu."
