After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Shows-Chapter 39 Is this looking for excitement?

Coincidentally, Jiang Kaiyuan had the same doubt. He quietly asked Jiang Lingxi, "Isn’t Jiang Xiyu aware of who the guests are this time?"

Mr. Lin Jing is here, yet someone thinks they should make a grand entrance last. How important do they think they are!

Jiang Lingxi, however, had a different guess.

Last night, Xu Wenyue issued an apology and clarification statement. Jiang Xiyu was directly involved. Although the rumor about her meeting a mysterious man was clarified, her acting career was also affected.

It is quite possible that staying up late because of this caused her to wake up late.

However, even she didn’t expect that the thing keeping Jiang Xiyu up all night wasn’t just the blocked drama awaiting broadcast but mainly the straightforward clarification that shattered Jiang Xiyu’s fantasies.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, even the crew members of the chartered flight came to inquire once, and finally, Jiang Xiyu showed up, fashionably late.

Jiang Xiyu was still groggy when she was woken up in the car until she saw not her cousin but an unfamiliar face in front of her, and quickly masked her impatience, "Are we there yet?"

The young girl in charge of waking her up nodded with frustration but maintained a smile, "Ms. Jiang, let’s move quickly."

"Wait, let me touch up my makeup. Please help me fix my dress hem."

The young girl exchanged a silent look with her companion, looking at the person still leisurely doing her makeup in the car, and couldn’t help but take a deep breath in secret.

We’re almost there; she’ll bear with it!

The journey from the parking lot to the lounge, initially just ten minutes, got stretched to more than double the time by Jiang Xiyu.

Thus, when the lounge door opened, and everyone couldn’t help but look up simultaneously, they saw a long dress of layered smoky pink gauze and a face meticulously made up.

But at this moment, no one felt amazed, only that their patience was fed to the dogs.

They had come early to shoot the show, not to wait so long just to see someone make a grand entrance.

Even Yu Hui couldn’t help but raise a hand to rub his temple. The goddess was beautiful, but today, this act was indeed a foolish move.

"Sorry I’m late."

Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Jiang Xiyu inwardly thought it was bad, quickly apologized with genuine sincerity on her face.

But Li Shuo felt that he couldn’t be magnanimous at this moment, and he spoke in a hard tone, "We’ve all been waiting for you." Then he glanced at Jiang Lingxi, who sat calmly on the sofa, "Jiang Lingxi arrived the earliest and has been waiting for a whole hour by now."

The smile on Jiang Xiyu’s face almost faltered.

When she turned to see even in casual wear with no makeup, the figure was particularly eye-catching amidst the crowd, she bit her cheek hard to barely maintain her composure, "Really sorry to keep you waiting, Lingxi."

Jiang Lingxi looked up to meet Jiang Xiyu’s gaze.

Seeing it this way, the face indeed resembled hers a bit, though while the side profile was about 60% similar, the full face was only about 30%.

Especially now with the heavy makeup used to cover up dark circles and fatigue, it looked good for photos, but in person, it seemed a bit stiff.

"No need to specifically apologize to me, everyone came early."

This statement made everyone present almost immediately hear the implied meaning in Jiang Lingxi’s words: You were the only one who arrived the latest!

Zhouzhou almost burst into laughter, quickly covering her mouth.

So bold, she really liked it!

Just when Jiang Xiyu’s smile was about to completely collapse, Yu Hui stood up to alleviate the situation.

"Everyone’s here, director, should we set off now?"

Li Shuo looked at him, said nothing more, merely waved his hand decisively, "Set off!"

He didn’t care for Jiang Xiyu’s apology, only concerned whether the program could start filming on time.

For such a variety show, including guests, staff, and medical team, there were over sixty people, and the production team deliberately splurged on a charter flight.

Yet, it was nearly delayed because of Jiang Xiyu’s tardiness. Now, he just wanted to reach the destination on time.

Upon boarding, Jiang Lingxi had just chosen a window seat when the seat beside her was occupied.

Kai Yuan flashed a big white smile, whispering, "Xixi, if I don’t sit here, I’ll have to sit with either Jiang Xiyu or Yu Hui, so it’s better to sit with you."

Besides, he noticed Jiang Xiyu casting several glances his way when choosing seats earlier, likely intending to sit beside him.

To be honest, he initially had a good impression of Jiang Xiyu despite never working with her. Online reviews spoke quite well of Jiang Xiyu; compared to Jiang Lingxi, they were worlds apart.

But seeing her in person this time, his impression couldn’t be called good.

Besides being late, wearing heavy makeup and a dress—was she trying to outshine the other three female guests?

Either way, both actions didn’t sit well with him.

Comparatively, he naturally preferred to sit beside someone who felt more comfortable to him.

Jiang Xiyu watched Jiang Kaiyuan seating himself beside Jiang Lingxi and then noticed Yu Hui, who had spoken up for her in the lounge, waving her over, so she went and sat down.

After pulling up her floor-length dress, she also quietly explained, "I wasn’t intentionally late today; something occurred last night, and I couldn’t sleep until very late, so I accidentally slept in this morning."

Yu Hui immediately had a look of sudden realization, "It’s Xu Wenyue’s apology statement, right? I knew you were innocent. Fortunately, it was cleared up quickly, so the impact isn’t too significant."

Upon seeing the clarification, he had felt relieved enough to go to sleep, not realizing the whole situation had quite affected the goddess.

To this consolation, which didn’t really address her main concern, Jiang Xiyu managed a weak smile, tacitly agreeing.

Until she noticed the dark embroidery on Yu Hui’s shirt corner.

After watching it intently for a few seconds, she proactively started a conversation, "Are you new? Or a guest star?"

"Newbie, just signed with a company not long ago, and I’m your fan."

"Really, I’m honored; do you need an autograph?"

...

The plane took off, and as Jiang Lingxi looked out at the blue sky and white clouds seemingly within reach, she listened to Kai Yuan engage in his single-player game beside her, while also catching snippets of conversation from the back row.

It could be said that Jiang Xiyu once soared to fame mainly by somewhat resembling her original form, indeed having a knack for it. Not long after, Yu Hui even had his family tree revealed yet didn’t realize it, still smiling away. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Until the repeated sound of two consecutive stomach growls interrupted the free flow of conversation between the two in the back row.

"Did you skip breakfast?"

"You didn’t eat breakfast?"

True depiction of preferring style over substance.

Unfortunately, neither of them had food in their luggage.

Jiang Lingxi’s bag did, in fact, contain some handy snacks, packed involuntarily by Lu Zhengzheng, yet she didn’t intend to share them.

Let them stay hungry, maybe they’ll learn something.

Finally bearing it until noon, meals were finally served on the plane.

Everyone received a boxed meal and a cup of instant soup, all with the same meals inside.

Sufficient to satisfy an adult’s hunger.

Jiang Lingxi thanked the flight attendant handing her the meal, only ignoring Jiang Kaiyuan’s muttering about the airplane food being bad, and focused on her meal after taking a sip of soup.

She considered herself a fast eater, understanding there’s no need for leisurely savoring a meal like this airline meal.

But she had only eaten halfway when someone behind her said, "I’ve finished eating."

Curiosity drove her to glance back, only to find that Jiang Xiyu’s meal box appeared untouched, though upon closer look, the rice and vegetables seemed to have a few bites taken out.

Jiang Lingxi was silently shocked.

With this appetite, how could one expect to survive in the wilderness?

She was participating in this wilderness survival challenge to pay off debts, was Jiang Xiyu just bored with life and looking for thrills?
