DTBS - Chapter 160
Chapter 160: Parenting Show 12: Ridiculous
"Something's wrong! Something happened! Sister Zhou!"
The shouts from outside the courtyard came closer, successfully making Tao Qiuyun and the others, who were looking for tools, stop. Zhou Linwan, however, had taken off her earpiece to apply medicine inside. Hearing a development that didn't match the script, she immediately put the earpiece back on and asked Director Dai Congxu.
"Am I supposed to appear this quickly?" she questioned.
Dai Congxu: "Good heavens, they almost cleared the stage! Luckily, I was quick-witted. Xiao Wan, you rest first, don't worry about it. Someone will stall them."
Zhou Linwan: "..."
She felt like she had heard that sentence somewhere before.
Zhou Linwan, who had once been on the same side as Tao Qiuyun and the others, had a change of heart. She professionally stood up, felt the pain in her lower back, and finding it wasn't a big issue, immediately picked up the small bag beside her and walked towards the small courtyard.
"What's wrong?" Qin Qingshang thought, A clue! She immediately put down the stick in her hand and peeked out to see what was happening.
The person who arrived was Tang Yunyan. As their eyes met, neither expected the other to be the one coming to meet them. Tang Yunyan abruptly stopped in her tracks.
Qin Qingshang, however, was fully in character. Her eyes showed confusion, completely unconcerned about her past resources being stolen. She asked, "Did your boyfriend have a stomach ache again?"
Tang Yunyan: ...?
Don't mention that person! He was just taken away.
【Hahahaha, I wonder if the guests know that Chu Heng is finished】
【Octopus confirmed. With this kind of scandal, he'll probably have to pay a lot in compensation】
【Serves him right. People like this actually exist in reality, what an eye-opener】
【So Qinqin saying that was indeed because Qin Qingshang complained about it at home? What does she mean by saying this now? Is she deliberately being sarcastic?】
【Qin Qingshang is ridiculous! Tang Yunyan is clearly her junior, yet she, as a senior, is still so petty and lacks any tolerance】
【Oh, my goodness, a saint has descended to save all beings】
【My God, even Mary would kick your butt after hearing that】
"No, no, you misunderstood," Tang Yunyan shook her head decisively, distancing herself from a certain person. "He is not my boyfriend."
Regardless of whether the show's previous setup was like that, it absolutely couldn't be now!
"Then what happened?" Ming Siwen also walked over, looking a bit puzzled.
Logically, after the guests arrived on the island, the production team wouldn't immediately issue tasks. After all, there was plenty of time, and there was no need to push the guests too hard or rush the process, especially for plot exploration types. They should leave some time for them to organize their thoughts...
According to the usual routine, they would first let them gather, formulate strategies, do a simple visit, then have a welcoming dinner, and finally, a surprise attack at night to ignite the plot.
"It has nothing to do with you. You are outsiders. I'm here to find Sister Zhou!" Tang Yunyan looked like she was still shaken. "Something happened on the eastern hillside. Don't go near it. Other locals aren't as easy to talk to as us."
Don't go near... meaning the guests absolutely must go.
"Your Sister Zhou is my wife, and we are family." Ming Siwen continued to professionally play the fabricated persona.
Zhou Linwan heard this as soon as she came out, her heart skipped a beat, but she maintained her composure, stepped forward to Tang Yunyan's side, and put on her backpack. "Let's go."
"Wait!" Seeing them turn to leave, Ming Siwen immediately grabbed Zhou Linwan's arm. "You're not allowed to go. Are you going to abandon your wife and daughter again? Mengmeng, come here quickly."
Tao Aiqin's eyes darted around, and she leaned over to whisper something in Meng Huashi's ear.
Mengmeng nodded, then took a step and ran to hug Zhou Linwan's leg. "Can I go with you?"
Zhou Linwan's expression softened. She gently removed the little girl's hand and said to her, "No, this isn't a place for children."
"Then it's a place for adults. If you can't take Mengmeng, you can take me, right?" Ming Siwen seized the key point.
"You are outsiders, you can't go!" Tang Yunyan stood between Ming Siwen and Zhou Linwan, and after saying that, she dragged Zhou Linwan's arm forward. "Sister Zhou, hurry, there's no time to explain."
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Tao Qiuyun moving aside a nearby storage box and pulling out an iron shovel. Zhou Linwan gasped and quickly said, "Let's go together, if you're not afraid of punishment and don't believe there are gods in this world."
CEO Tao, please pay attention to us!
Suddenly saying something so nonsensical and full of chuunibyou vibes successfully attracted everyone's attention. Tao Qiuyun also put down the iron shovel, temporarily abandoning the idea of smashing the wall. She moved closer to Zhou Linwan.
Tang Yunyan only noticed Tao Qiuyun's actions at this point and felt speechless.
Seriously, I've been acting here for half a day, and you're still focused on smashing the wall!
"What do you mean by not believing in gods?" Tao Qiuyun asked.
"You'll know when you see it," Zhou Linwan stared at her, then looked down at Tao Aiqin and Meng Huashi. "But you can't take children to see it, it will leave a psychological shadow."
Tao Qiuyun and the others followed Zhou Linwan towards the east mountain. On the other side, Kong Fangshu and the others also heard the NPC's loud "secret talk." After some back and forth, they agreed to leave the children behind and follow the islanders to the east mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, the guest groups met up.
"They said to leave the children at the foot of the mountain," Kong Fangshu looked at Ming Siwen, then at the two little ones following them. "Did you agree too?"
"We were worried about the children, so we thought we'd come over and meet up with all of you first, then leave some people to look after the children and some to go up the mountain," He Shanyan exchanged glances with his wife and continued, "What do you think? I'll stay here. Do you want me to look after all of them, or do you want to choose someone to stay and look after each other?"
"I'll stay," Kong Fangshu raised his hand. "Kaitai is braver than me. I always feel this mountain is eerie. I'd better stay and look after the children."
"Yunfei and Siwen, do you two want to go up the mountain or stay?" He Shanyan paused, saying tactfully, "I can help look after the children."
"Then thank you, Brother He." Gu Yunfei nodded in agreement.
"I can look after Mengmeng myself!" The little cat patted her chest.
"I can also look after Qinqin." Meng Huashi's small face was full of seriousness.
Tao Qiuyun and Qin Qingshang exchanged glances and immediately decided to let the two of them look after each other. Of course, although they said this to the two little ones, they still asked He Shanyan to help keep an eye on them.
He Shanyan and Kong Fangshu stayed behind to look after the children;
Tao Qiuyun, Qin Qingshang, Ming Siwen, Gu Yunfei, Mu Kaitai, and Lü Fangting, six people, followed Zhou Linwan up the mountain to investigate what happened.
【Good heavens, all the men are separated... Wuwuwu, the six Sisters are too eye-catching. When will there be an all-female variety show!】
【Exactly! All-female variety show! All-female variety show, I've even thought of a name for you. Others have Riding the Winds and Waves, Sisters Who Make Waves, why don't you have Sisters Under the Stars and Moon 】
【What a Sisters Under the Stars and Moon? This name would be even better if a group of girls were stranded on a deserted island, so exciting. Organize a 100-person battle royale, seeing so many beautiful sisters entangled with each other, unable to sleep at night, I'd definitely be overjoyed】
【What entanglement?】
【Help! Is that still a proper variety show!】
【LOL, others have talent shows, what kind of talent can you pick out from a battle royale!】
【Pick out a show-off】
【666666】
The comments were still laughing and joking, simply because the six people, including Tao Qiuyun, were still walking on the mountain path and there wasn't much to see. Just then, a highlight appeared among the baby group resting at the foot of the mountain—a group of black-clothed people rushed out, trying to capture the children.
All of this happened too suddenly and didn't conform to the usual logic of variety shows. Kong Fangshu and He Shanyan had no time to react and were instantly grabbed by a group of big men, lifted by their limbs, completely unable to resist.
"What are you doing!"
"Let go of me! Run! Xinxian, run!"
Tao Aiqin was the first to react, also startled, her head full of question marks. "Sys, what kind of variety show is this!"
Why are you even capturing children! Do you really want to make a heartwarming kid show?
System: "Uh, this..."
The System was also confused and could only reply to her: "I am an AI, I don't understand human thinking."
Children have short arms and legs, how could they outrun strong adults? They were caught within a few steps, leaving only the little cat with the "Invincible Roll" skill struggling.
Director Dai Congxu's head was steaming with anxiety as he stared at the screen. "Are you just going to watch her roll around! Catch her!"
The leader of the black-clothed men was very wronged. "It's not that I don't want to catch her, I just can't!"
She always inexplicably slips away just when he's about to catch her, it's really weird.
"It's okay, it's okay," Lu Xiaokui comforted him cheerfully. "Lao Dai, don't worry. She's just a child, she'll run out of energy to roll soon. Didn't she get tired when she was chasing the big goose just now?"
He was right, rolling does consume physical strength, but Tao Aiqin, in order not to be led by the production team, had forcefully taken a bottle of stamina potion, which provided continuous recovery for five minutes.
"Master! Master, keep going!" He Ruotang was held in the arms of a black-clothed big brother. Although his body was restrained, he still waved his fists to cheer for Tao Aiqin, his eyes shining.
Master is indeed amazing! So many people can't catch her, this is the... the... Somersault Cloud from Journey to the West?
Mu Xinxian pursed her lips, not knowing what she was thinking.
As for Gu Jingyou, the three-year-old little girl saw the big brother clapping and also clapped along to cheer.
"Qinqin!" Meng Huashi had a flash of inspiration and shouted loudly to her little childhood friend, "Go unleash the big goose to bite them!"
This place wasn't too far from Zhou Linwan's courtyard, so they could find help.
Tao Aiqin also realized that there was another way to disrupt the production team's plan and gain an advantage for the guests. So she flexibly dodged one black-clothed person after another, skillfully rolling back the way she came, not forgetting to respond, "Qinqin, I will definitely come back to save you!"
Black-clothed people: "..."
Seriously, what kind of melodramatic scene are you two acting out?
And, why is this child like a spinning top! Aren't you dizzy or tired!
【Good heavens, Qinqin's running posture has truly inherited the essence of Qin Qingshang】
【I feel like I'm seeing the scene where a group of haunted house NPCs chased Sister Qin back then】
【Tao Aiqin, according to entertainment industry records: known as Little Qin Qingshang (serious)】
【Hahahaha, they are mother and daughter!】
【I heard CEO Tao has a particularly large dog. Could Qin cub's stamina and speed be trained by racing with the dog?】
【Dog! Where's the dog! Let me see (loudly)】
【Tao Zhuohua's Weibo, he just posted about helping his sister walk the dog. Good heavens, it's huge, taller than me when it stands up】
When Tao Aiqin shook off the black-clothed people and sped back to Zhou Linwan's small courtyard, she happened to see staff members catching a goose, specifically the big white goose with black feathers on its chest.
One person and one goose looked at each other...
"Gagaga!" I'm going to die, goose!
The little cat didn't expect the production team to actually ambush a five-year-old child like her! She was caught by the staff on site and then handed over to the black-clothed people.
The baby group "successfully" reunited.
The cat is sad...
Sigh, she hopes the production team's stewed big goose tonight can give her a share.
Big Goose: I don't deserve to die! Sir!
