Reborn in the Entertainment Industry: Second Life

The temperature is gradually dropping.

The sun was gradually setting, and the sky was already dark; we needed lights to ensure safe passage.

The climb up the steep slope and the journey took a total of two hours and thirty-two minutes. Bo Bing and his group arrived safely at the campsite. When they saw the main force, the firelight, and the tents, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Village T is at an altitude of 1600m. When they arrived here, the altitude had exceeded 2400m. Fortunately, this group of people were all young and strong men. Their previous filming trip to Longyu Snow Mountain in Y Province had given them experience, so they were not overly alarmed by the pressure brought by the increase in altitude.

Bo Bing sat down, asked about the condition of the team members, and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that everyone was in relatively good condition.

"Alright, let's set up the tent first."

Bo Bing took out the supplies from the other production team and urged everyone to get started quickly, "otherwise it will lose its heat."

Everyone understood the stakes involved, and they immediately lost all interest in resting, working together to set up three special tents for winter camping.

After they finished setting up their sleeping bags and put them away, they finally felt at ease. Then, a group of them gathered around the fire to warm themselves while being filmed by the camera.

Bo Bing also briefly talked about her experiences on the road.

it's getting dark.

A group of people emerged from the jungle on one side—it was the Red Team!

They chose the longest but safest route, which took some time but involved no major obstacles.

Bai Zixiu strode over and took the two unopened cans of Red Bull that were warming up in Bo Bing's hand.

"So thoughtful?"

Bai Zixiu took off his gloves and warmed his cold hands over the fire. "I'll accept it."

Bai Zixiu shoved a can of Red Bull into Mo Tao's hand. Bai Zixiu took a sip himself and gestured with his chin toward Bo Bing, "Teacher Tao, have a drink to calm down. I got this from Bo Bing thanks to you, so I'm just passing it on."

The girl's face was flushed from the cold. She took the drink from her hand and took a small sip.

warm.

"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Taozi," Bo Bing smiled slightly at Mo Tao, then looked at Bai Zixiu, "Teacher Bai, you're so shameless."

"Each each other."

Bai Zixiu threw the can into the trash can, waved his hand, and went to set up the tent with his teammates.

After packing his backpack, Jiang Wenqing plopped down next to Bo Bing.

"This place is quite exciting, no wonder it's called Extreme Challenge."

Jiang Wenqing took a bite of compressed biscuit and then a bite of ham. "I've discovered that you've been keeping this a secret for a while now. How come I've never heard you mention that you know these things before?"

"You didn't ask either."

Bo Bing kicked the snow off the ground. "I didn't initially plan to participate in this program, but I just wanted to earn some money to go back for the New Year."

"You're going back for the New Year?" Jiang Wenqing opened his mouth, "Isn't your father abusive? Why would you go back?"

"I'm going to visit my younger brother and aunt. They're going back home for the Lunar New Year, so I can rest in my rented room for a few days."

Bo Bing grilled a sausage, smiled, and said, "Xiao Yun is in his final year of high school. He's doing well in his studies, and his mother is a good person too."

Jiang Wenqing sighed.

Bo Bing naturally couldn't say that the main reason he went back this time was to check on the factory, so he made up some random things to fool Jiang Wenqing.

He does not mean that.

Although that's not what Bo Bing meant, to others it sounded like he was on the show because he didn't have money for the New Year.

Ye Tianxing, who had been listening for a long time, frowned.

What does this mean? Is Bo Bing's family a blended family? And they still have to live in a rented apartment?

These words are somewhat niche for him, who has no worries about food and clothing.

The man immediately conjured up a story of a poor young man abused by his father, whose mother had left him, and who was raising money for his estranged younger brother to appear on a TV show. Of course, if he hadn't been given a different soul, Ye Tianxing's imagination might have been pretty accurate.

Wen Yuan had told him some general things before, and although he didn't believe everything, he felt a pang of sympathy for him now.

After all, Bo Bing looked like someone the production team had invited to generate viewership.

Ye Tianxing had been in the entertainment industry for a long time, so he couldn't be unaware of the conflict between Bo Bing and Bai Shanyan. But whenever the two had a conflict, the cameras would come close, which said a lot.

"Um... Bo Bing, I apologize for my careless words earlier," Ye Tianxing said as he subtly approached Jiang Wenqing after she entered the tent. "You're quite something."

Ye Tianxing wasn't completely brainless; if you just asked him about certain things behind his back, you'd usually get a different answer.

Of course, it is still unknown whether the answer is true or false, but it has at least made Ye Tianxing have some doubts.

Bo Bing is strong, and also very cold.

Ye Tianxing's attitude softened imperceptibly due to his perception of the strong and his compassion for Bo Bing's past.

"Inexplicable."

Bo Bing gave her assessment, took a bite of sausage, and looked at the man in the firelight, "Should I forgive you?"

"Teacher Ye?"

The young man's voice was cool, and he wore a nonchalant smile that had a strange charm in the firelight.

Ye Tianxing had never seen a guy like this before.

Before participating in the program, he had actually read the basic information of the guest stars.

Bo Bing, this guy's name is very unusual, which made him think for a moment that it was a stage name, but it seems that it is not.

The young man in the photo is smiling, exuding a gentle and scholarly air, like the boy next door. His appearance is not outstanding, but not bad either. His slightly furrowed eyebrows and a beauty mark under his eye give him a slightly melancholic look, just like the older brother type of boyfriend that girls liked in the early 2000s.

Ye Tianxing had thought that he wasn't a very assertive guy. He hadn't heard of him in the entertainment industry, but maybe he was some kind of popular online singer? That's why the production team invited him to the show; he seemed easy to get along with.

He never dreamed that Bo Bing, whom he met for the first time, would be cold, sharp, and gloomy.

His demeanor was completely different from the photo. Although you could tell from his eyebrows and eyes that he was exactly the same as in the photo, his sharp, fake-looking hairstyle, coupled with his fierce eyes, made Ye Tianxing believe that this guy had just been released not long ago.

Even so, the young man was a kind-hearted person.

"No, you have no reason to forgive me."

Ye Tianxing swallowed a mouthful of tea, feeling a dryness in his throat. "If everything in the world could be solved with an apology, and if an apology would guarantee forgiveness... that would be too irresponsible towards the victims."

The young man looked at him with some surprise, "So Teacher Ye can say such things."

The flames emitted a popping sound.

Ye Tianxing's phoenix eyes revealed a hint of fatigue.

The teacup in Ye Tianxing's hand was knocked, making a metallic clanging sound. Ye Tianxing looked up and saw the young man standing by the firelight, tilting his head back and drinking the eight-treasure porridge in one gulp in the firelight.

A beautiful parabola, the can lands in the trash can three meters away.

"I'm going to sleep. Please make yourself at home."

Ye Tianxing slowly took another sip of water from his cup, watching the young man lift the tent flap and go inside.

"OK, good night."

He poked at the fire.

—There are things in the darkness that are brighter than firelight.
