Hot Search Alert! The Princess Goes Viral Worldwide-Chapter 65

“Do you need something?”

Gu Nanyan asked indifferently.

Zhou Qinian felt a bit uneasy. It was strange—despite being a seasoned veteran in the entertainment industry, adept at handling all sorts of social interactions, he suddenly felt nervous in front of Gu Nanyan.

Before coming here, he had thought a lot.

To be honest, their relationship was somewhat awkward. In the past, Gu Nanyan had tried to create a scandal with him to boost her own fame.

At the time, he hadn’t held back, publicly declaring that the two of them had no connection whatsoever.

As a result, Gu Nanyan had been vilified across the internet.

Zhou Qinian was worried that she might still harbor resentment toward him.

But even if she did, he still felt the need to come and express his gratitude.

That was just the kind of person Zhou Qinian was.

He had prepared himself for anything—whether Gu Nanyan mocked him, cursed at him, or even hit him, he was ready to accept it.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Qinian spoke up, “I… I wanted to say thank you.”

Gu Nanyan nodded. “Got it.”

After saying that, she lowered her head and continued dismantling something, ignoring Zhou Qinian.

Zhou Qinian: “…”

That’s it?

It’s over just like that?

Zhou Qinian was baffled. Why was she reacting like this? Shouldn’t she be gloating a little? Shouldn’t she be mocking him?

“You—” Zhou Qinian stammered.

Gu Nanyan looked up, surprised to see Zhou Qinian still standing there. “Why are you still here?”

Zhou Qinian: “…”

Gu Nanyan thought for a moment and then understood. She nodded at Zhou Qinian and replied, “You’re welcome.”

Back in Great Qi, countless people had thanked her, the revered princess. At that time, she was high above everyone else, and when people came to express their gratitude, she didn’t need to respond.

But modern society was different. Here, you had to say “you’re welcome.”

After saying “you’re welcome,” Gu Nanyan lowered her head again, completely absorbed in studying the drone in front of her.

This time, she wasn’t just taking it apart—she was also putting it back together.

Zhou Qinian didn’t know what else to do, so he just stood there, watching as Gu Nanyan reassembled the drone piece by piece.

At first, Zhou Qinian thought it was just amusing to watch, never expecting that Gu Nanyan would actually manage to put it back together.

After all, this wasn’t some simple gadget like a clock or a watch—it was a state-of-the-art drone.

But to his surprise, Gu Nanyan actually managed to reassemble the drone, completely intact.

Zhou Qinian was stunned. He glanced at Gu Nanyan several times, never imagining she could be so clever.

Still, even though it looked complete, it was just a shell. The internal components had been damaged by bullets and were unusable.

But then, in the next moment, the drone suddenly took off, soaring higher and higher into the sky.

Holy crap!

Zhou Qinian’s eyes nearly popped out of his head. He stammered, “Y-you actually fixed it?”

Gu Nanyan’s expression was serious. “It was a bit difficult. I don’t understand many of the principles, so I just copied what I saw.”

“You don’t understand the principles, and you still fixed it!” Zhou Qinian couldn’t believe it. If she actually understood the mechanics, she’d probably be able to conquer the skies.

The drone flew higher and higher, until it was almost out of sight.

Zhou Qinian shielded his eyes from the sun, looking up at the sky. “Why are you flying it so high?” It’s almost invisible now.

Gu Nanyan said, “I made a few small modifications.”

Zhou Qinian was about to ask what modifications she had made when, in the next second, he heard a loud *boom*—the drone exploded mid-air.

The force of the explosion was immense, sending a shockwave through the air, followed by a cloud of smoke.

Gu Nanyan stood up, gazing at the sky with fascination. “So beautiful.”

If only Great Qi had possessed such a weapon back then—able to strike enemies from thousands of miles away. How many lives could have been saved?

Technology truly was fascinating.

Zhou Qinian was completely dumbfounded, unable to speak.

He never imagined that someone could be so brilliant—able to take a few broken drones, reassemble them into a functioning one, and even modify it to explode.

After the coordinates of the island were sent out, it took less than three days for Zhan Lingfeng’s people to arrive.

Zhan Lingfeng was deeply worried about Gu Nanyan. He had rushed day and night, unable to eat or sleep properly during the days when Gu Nanyan wasn’t streaming. The only thing that brought him some peace was listening to Jiahe’s *Peace of Mind*.

When Zhan Yi and the others saw this, they were deeply concerned.

This was bad. Their boss had fallen for two women—one was Gu Nanyan, his lawful wife, and the other was Jiahe, his soulmate.

What a difficult choice. Who would he ultimately choose?

Finally arriving at the island, Zhan Lingfeng immediately disembarked, eager to see Gu Nanyan.

He was deeply worried about her.

The conditions on the island were harsh—she must have been struggling to eat and sleep properly, and with no entertainment, she must have been incredibly bored.

Zhan Lingfeng blamed himself, feeling guilty for failing to fulfill his duties as a husband and allowing his wife to end up in such a dangerous situation.

His face tense, he made his way deeper into the island.

The island was overgrown with weeds, with no clear paths, making the journey difficult. But Zhan Lingfeng paid no attention, striding forward quickly.

Zhan Yi was worried. “Boss, let us go ahead and clear the way. Otherwise, you might get scratched by the branches.”

But Zhan Lingfeng couldn’t wait. “Gu Nanyan is trapped here. She must be terrified. I need to see her as soon as possible.”

Zhan Yi’s attempts to persuade him were futile, so he could only follow behind.

Finally, as they approached the center of the island, Zhan Lingfeng clenched his fists, suppressing his nervousness, and headed toward Shop No. 5.

Before he even got close, he could hear the sound of someone singing.

It was Song Ze.

The group exchanged confused glances.

Why was someone singing? Had they gone mad from being stranded?

As they got closer, they finally understood what was happening.

In front of Shop No. 5, a makeshift stage had been set up on a flat piece of land.

Teacher Qi was acting as the host, leading everyone in putting on a performance for Gu Nanyan.

Song Ze went up first to sing a song, followed by the twin sisters and Sister Sa performing a dance. Then, Chen Tian and Li Ang put on a wrestling match, and finally, Yang Tongtong, Zhou Qinian, and Teacher Qi performed a skit together.

Gu Nanyan sat below the stage, lounging comfortably in a chair, lazily applauding.

Everyone was watching her expression closely. The moment she started to look bored, the performers would quickly switch to a new act.

Seeing this, Zhan Yi was speechless. Was this what the boss had described as being “stranded on a deserted island, terrified”?

Gu Nanyan was living better than any of them.

The commotion caught everyone’s attention. Yang Tongtong was the first to spot Zhan Lingfeng and his group. She shouted excitedly, “Sister Gu! Someone’s here to rescue us!”

Gu Nanyan turned her head calmly, her eyes meeting Zhan Lingfeng’s.

Her husband had come to save her!

It had been a while since they’d last seen each other, and Gu Nanyan had missed him. From a distance, she extended her right hand toward Zhan Lingfeng.

What was she doing?

Everyone was stunned by this gesture.

Zhan Yi’s eyes widened. Was she seriously expecting the boss to come over and help her up?

How dramatic! Can’t she just get up herself?

Zhan Yi was disdainful.

But in the next second, his boss dashed forward like an arrow, carefully taking Gu Nanyan’s hand, his eyes filled with concern. “What’s wrong? Is your leg bothering you? Let me carry you.”

Gu Nanyan wanted to shake her head and say she was fine.

But then she remembered how her parents had interacted. Between husband and wife, it was important to show a little affection and not be too rigid.

So, Gu Nanyan frowned slightly. “Why did you take so long? I’ve been so scared these past few days.”

Everyone: “…”

Seriously? How could she say that with a straight face? Who was the one dominating everyone here?

And she’s saying she was scared?

The bound men in black were on the verge of tears. If anyone should be scared, it’s them!
