After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Shows-Chapter 49: Who is Secretly Watching the Pretty Sister’s Live Stream

Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Who is Secretly Watching the Pretty Sister’s Live Stream

After the video was sent over, this time the wait for a reply was much longer.

Li Shuo wasn’t surprised, he got up and leisurely poured himself a cup of strong tea.

Being a director for Wilderness Survival has its downsides; while the guests work hard, he has to endure it too.

Like yesterday, the staff responsible for releasing the prey were almost caught on camera due to Jiang Lingxi’s unpredictable moves. If it weren’t for his timely decision to interrupt the live stream, today’s trending topic might not have been "Jiang Lingxi Shooting Arrows" but rather "Wilderness Survival Faking and Deceiving the Audience in the First Episode."

Returning to his seat, a message just popped up on his phone from an old friend.

Wei Xiao: "..." freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Wei Xiao: "Is this really Jiang Lingxi? Don’t tell me you have some dirt on her, and you swapped the main character’s head in this video with software?"

Li Shuo immediately put the teacup on the table, switched to voice-to-text, and said, "How could I have any dirt? I am always upright and honest. I’m being nice by recommending someone to you, and you don’t even appreciate it!"

Wei Xiao: "Sorry, sorry, I spoke too quickly. I was just too surprised, the Jiang Lingxi in the video is so different from the one I know!"

Li Shuo recalled his own reaction when he first heard Jiang Lingxi would join his program, which eased his irritation a bit, "Anyway, having met Jiang Lingxi in person, I think we should believe what we see. I suggest you come to watch the live stream of the survival show I’m currently directing. If you’re free, check it out and decide for yourself."

Wei Xiao: "I’m so busy my feet barely touch the ground! Where would I find the time to watch a live stream?"

Li Shuo knew his old buddy was losing his hair while preparing for a film, so though he felt a bit disappointed, he didn’t press, "Watch it or not, it’s up to you; there are plenty of actresses in the entertainment industry, after all."

Wei Xiao: "Let’s talk later then."

But after closing the chat window, he couldn’t resist going back to watch the short video clip his friend sent again from start to finish.

Ignoring that overly stunning face, whether it was the sudden arrow shot with cold eyes in the night, or the figure resting against the tree trunk with a knee bent in shallow sleep yet seemingly on guard and ready to spring into action, he had to admit it was captivating and had indeed touched something in his heart.

Giving up on this candidate or observing further was truly troubling him.

Amid his dilemma, Wei Xiao inadvertently saw a contact avatar that had not long been released from his "Do Not Contact" group.

After hesitating for three seconds, he gritted his teeth and clicked on it.

"Hey, nephew, your mom says your work has been light lately, and you’ve been able to call home often. Could you do your uncle a favor?"

*

Xiaojing Village.

Compared to Jiang Lingxi’s last visit, there are now more flowers and plants in this white-walled, gray-tiled courtyard, dug up from the wild by the grandfather and grandson duo.

Wei Ke was watering these plants with a ladle when he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket and took it out to check.

Seeing it was a message from his uncle, who loves making movies and TV shows, he raised an eyebrow, opened it, and after reading, he typed a reply: "I’m not busy these days, but I can’t wander around; tell me, what do you need?"

His current task was to protect and take care of the Xu family grandfather and grandson. Though compared to his previous assignments, it was quite leisurely, it was still limiting as he basically had to stay in Xiaojing Village, accompanying the old Xu in rest and recuperation.

Rebellious Uncle: "You don’t need to move around, all you need to do is help your uncle observe someone through your phone, basically just watch a live stream. In about a week, let your uncle know what you think of that person."

Wei Ke sent back a question mark.

Seeing that question mark, Wei Xiao remembered that given his nephew’s job nature, he probably never had the leisure of watching a live stream on his phone before, so he directly sent the Wilderness Survival live stream link, adding, "Here’s the live stream link, click and you can watch it; observe that Jiang Lingxi in it."

Wei Ke’s finger paused, ready to tap the link.

Eyeing those three words ’Jiang Lingxi’ once more, he silently tapped open.

The phone screen suddenly shifted to reveal a dense jungle exuding a springtime vibe, with the big words ’Wilderness Survival’ appearing.

"Please choose to enter the live stream room of the following eight guests and start your survival journey together."

The eight names were displayed neatly. After scanning through them, Wei Ke reached out and selected Jiang Lingxi’s name.

The screen changed again, and he saw that familiar figure.

The other party wore a set of black training clothes he was very familiar with, trekking through the forest with another youth in the same outfit.

Taking another look at the surrounding environment, he almost immediately made his judgment.

Not deep into the forest yet, danger level low, with scarce food resources but abundant water resources.

Such an environment naturally meant nothing to him.

But for these celebrities, it was indeed a challenging survival experience.

No wonder it’s called Wilderness Survival, so that’s what it means.

"Hey, Wei Ke, what are you watching?"

A small head suddenly popped out from behind, and Wei Ke tilted the phone screen toward Xu Xingyuan, replying seriously, "A live stream."

"You actually watch live streams too!" Xu Xingyuan’s eyes widened in disbelief, "I thought your phone only had calling and texting functions. Let me see what live stream you’re secretly watching."

Gazing at the phone screen before him, the camera happened to capture Jiang Lingxi’s profile, along with dense barrage comments. Xu Xingyuan leaned closer to look for a few seconds, exclaiming in surprise, "Isn’t that the pretty sister? The brother beside her looks familiar too. What are they streaming?"

"Wilderness Survival." Wei Ke retracted the phone, reminding him, "Alright, you should go practice your handwriting."

"I’ll just watch for a little longer, just a bit." Xu Xingyuan clung to Wei Ke’s arm and swayed it, "Otherwise, I’ll tell Grandpa that you’re sneakily watching pretty sister’s live stream on your phone."

Wei Ke: "...I’m watching openly!"

"What’s all this about?" Xu Maochun came out from the main room, seeing the big and small facing off in front of the nursery, "Wei, did you finish watering the plants? Xingxing, how much writing did you practice today?"

"Grandpa, Wei, Brother Wei was secretly watching pretty sister’s live stream without me."

Wei Ke: "..."

He really felt framed!

Xu Maochun: "Pretty sister, is it that Jiang Lingxi girl?"

Both nodded in unison.

"What kind of live stream, practicing calligraphy? Let me see too."

Watching the intrigued old Xu leaning over, Wei Ke: "..."

He couldn’t help but remind him, "Weren’t you planning to review the earlier manuscripts today?"

"A little delay won’t hurt!"
