Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 269 - 242

According to Mu Yunchu, this ghost has always been by his side.

Even though it has never harmed him, just hearing about it is enough to make one’s skin crawl.

"But you don’t have to worry too much, I’ll give you another amulet."

Although from her current perspective, she doesn’t think the ghost intends to harm him, it’s better to be safe than sorry.

After arranging a resting place for Mu Yunchu, the sun set, and it was almost time for Jiang Ci to start filming the show.

Saying he wasn’t nervous would be a lie, but as long as he could see Mu Yunchu, he wasn’t that scared.

However, just as the filming was about to begin, Jiang Ci was called over by the director. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

The director hesitantly looked at him, then at Mu Yunchu next to him, seeming as if he wanted to advise, "Xiao Jiang, you’re a very promising artist, though I don’t really have the right to say this, I suggest you not get into a relationship at this time."

His expression became indescribable, seemingly blaming yet also helpless, "Even if you’re dating, don’t be so public about it!"

It’s the first time he’s seen a newcomer flaunt a relationship so boldly. He even brought the person right into the crew’s face.

The director didn’t even know what to say to Jiang Ci.

"Although none of us are newcomers to the entertainment industry, there’s a lot of gossip, and what you’ve done is not good."

Initially, Jiang Ci didn’t understand.

Eventually, he realized.

Everyone had misunderstood his relationship with Mu Yunchu.

He quickly waved his hands in explanation, "No, no, no, director, you’ve misunderstood."

"It’s not that kind of relationship between us."

He wished it were, but the other party wouldn’t agree.

Though a bit hesitant, Jiang Ci revealed Mu Yunchu’s true identity.

After listening, the director’s expression was difficult to understand.

It made Jiang Ci feel that compared to her being his girlfriend, the director was more upset about Mu Yunchu’s true identity.

But he quickly dismissed that thought.

He must be overthinking it.

"So you still think this town is unclean?"

This wasn’t the first time Jiang Ci said this.

Previously, they’d brushed it off as ’overthinking’ or ’need more rest,’ not expecting Jiang Ci to take matters into his own hands and brought in someone versed in the metaphysical.

However...

The director glanced at Mu Yunchu’s youthful appearance, feeling a strong distrust.

He thought she probably wasn’t anyone particularly powerful.

So he let Jiang Ci proceed.

"Alright, but make sure she doesn’t cause trouble on set. Try to keep a low profile, I don’t want our show to encounter major issues before even airing the first episode."

By saying this, he agreed to let Mu Yunchu be on set.

Jiang Ci heaved a sigh of relief and quickly nodded, "No problem, thank you, director!"

...

When the official recording began, it picked up from the part disrupted by Jiang Ci the previous day.

As long as they speed up a bit, they could catch up on the schedule.

Jiang Ci once again apologized to the other artists recording with him.

After all, if it weren’t for him, they wouldn’t be in a ’catching up’ situation.

Luckily, everyone was good-natured and merely joked that Jiang Ci should treat them to a meal after work, and the matter was over.

Except for one female artist, who didn’t respond to his words. Instead, her gaze casually swept towards Mu Yunchu, who was outside watching intently, and commented meaningfully:

"Jiang Ci, is that your little girlfriend?"

"You two are really affectionate, just filming a variety show, and she had to travel all the way to see you."

The fact that Jiang Ci brought Mu Yunchu in and arranged a place for her to stay had spread throughout the crew.

It’s because he initially didn’t intend to hide it at all.

Now, anyone they ran into would come to ask him.

But when facing these people, it was different from with the director. Saying too much might cause trouble, so he could only vaguely explain that there was no such relationship between them.

The others clearly didn’t quite believe him.

Especially Qin Long, who patted his shoulder with a knowing look in his eyes.

"Don’t worry, we understand."

"We definitely won’t speak a word of this."

It seemed like they’d already decided Jiang Ci was lying.

Jiang Ci: "..."

He couldn’t explain, knowing it wouldn’t do any good in this situation.

So he had to change the subject.

Suddenly, he noticed an unfamiliar face and asked in slight surprise, "Hmm? Is that person also a guest for the recording?"

Everyone looked in the direction of his gaze and saw sitting beside the director was a man in his thirties.

The man’s features were exceptionally fine, unforgettable at first glance.

With such top-tier looks, it’s hard to believe he wasn’t in the industry.

"Ah..." Qin Long suddenly realized, "You’re talking about him."

"He is indeed here to record."

"Don’t you know him?"

Jiang Ci blinked.

Should he know him?

The female artist who had spoken earlier noticed his slightly perplexed expression and explained, "That’s Feng Chen, who recently returned from being an idol overseas. He’s been gaining momentum lately, and the director invited him to temporarily partake in the recording."

"Maybe Brother Long thought you two were in similar circles and assumed you’d know each other."

Jiang Ci glanced at the man once more before looking away.

After her explanation, upon looking again, he could indeed distinctly feel the refined aura of an idol about him.

However, he had only asked out of curiosity, as long as it diverted everyone’s attention away from him and Mu Yunchu.

He wasn’t that interested in others.

Having achieved his goal, Jiang Ci chatted with everyone about other things, and soon the director called for the start of the recording.

Although people didn’t quite believe Jiang Ci’s claims of encountering a ghost, to ensure smooth filming, they specifically assigned two people to accompany him. They weren’t to leave his side, as getting lost last time was partly their responsibility too.

The others were assigned separate tasks but also in pairs.

Qin Long happened to be paired up with the female artist who spoke ambiguously, and both were seasoned variety veterans who knew even if certain things were said publicly, they could be edited out, so they spoke more freely than the others.

"Do you think what Xiao Jiang said is true?"

Perhaps it was walking in this eerie little town that made Qin Long suddenly bring up the matter.

The female artist instinctively glanced at the nearby camera, less fearless than Qin Long, and replied with a faint smile, "Maybe he saw it wrong."

Even if it were true, they wouldn’t dare to say it.

The pointed attitude indicated no wish to continue this topic.

But Qin Long seemed oblivious, continuing, "Really? I feel it’s true."

The female artist came to a halt.

Not just because of Qin Long’s words.

But also because she heard a particularly eerie opera tune.
