I snagged a bargain in a melodramatic novel and became incredibly wealthy!

The night at the farmhouse was extremely quiet, with strange, unidentified noises adding an eerie charm to the darkness.

Caiyi lay on a patch of grass, his hands behind his head, gazing up at the twinkling stars in the night sky, quietly appreciating their beauty.

A slightly chilly wind blew by, and Caiyi got goosebumps on her arms. She had no intention of getting up and going back inside; she liked the peace and tranquility of the moment.

She was a little tired lately, not physically, but mentally. A farm stay was a great way to relax and unwind in the rural countryside.

However, she was very curious about Xu Qingming.

Xu Qingming seemed to have never rested; at least Cai Yi had never seen him rest.

After each mission, Xu Qingming would give them a short break to relax and rejuvenate so they could better prepare for the next mission.

However, Caiyi discovered that... Xu Qingming was almost always at his workstation, and if he wasn't there, it was because of other tasks.

The first encounter with the sickly beauty was also part of the mission. After all, what kind of good person would be so bold as to stay in a public hospital for epilepsy treatment? This shows that Xu Qingming is a ruthless person.

A few days ago, Xu Qingming collapsed after rescuing all of them. Shan Nan said it was because he was exhausted, and then Xu Qingming was forced to rest by his family.

Caiyi didn't even know if what he called rest was appropriate; he had turned a perfectly good patient's room into an office with mountains of documents piled up inside.

Cai Yi thinks so much because she feels that she is not capable enough in comparison, and there are signs of her being lazy. Sometimes she looks so determined in a task, simply because she has no other choice.

During the mission, one either continues or watches the madwoman wreak havoc. Not seeing it is one thing, but… she did see it…

Caiyi pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling that he was really destined to be a beast of burden. At first, he did think about just getting by, but later he felt that since he had taken on such a lucrative job, he should at least do justice to it. Now... he had to do justice to his conscience.

What a sin!

Having grown up under the red flag, they witnessed darkness, and if they had the ability, none of them would stand idly by.

Just like the Wenchuan earthquake, when one place is in trouble, help comes from all sides; this is not just empty talk.

This is true for most people under the red flag.

Caiyi was simply left with a lingering shadow from the previous maritime disaster.

Afterwards, she asked Xiao Baihua about her home situation using the signal transmitter.

She told him everything, which made her look very upset, but she didn't show it.

The scene described by Xiao Baihua made her realize the existence of the world consciousness, or even that the world consciousness had discovered her, or rather, that they, the group of people in the know.

Otherwise, what a coincidence it would be, that it happened to be the island that sank in the story.

All of this, taken together, can no longer be called a coincidence, but rather a deliberate act.

It's estimated that apart from her and Xu Qingming, Xiao Baihua doesn't know much about this matter.

Xiao Baihua simply had a feeling that the world's consciousness favored her; after all, she was the protagonist of the story, and protagonists had privileges in the world's consciousness. But could these privileges really be used indefinitely?

Don't forget... Xiao Baihua's storyline has ended.

How long can privileges last?

Just like a spoiled child who keeps acting out, will her mother still love her as much?

(It turned out that it was indeed its child, a child to which it had poured its heart and soul.)

"Why aren't you going home to sleep? Why are you standing here enjoying the night breeze?"

A voice broke Caiyi's thoughts. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw Luo Xiaoxiao, with her black hair flowing down her shoulders and without any makeup.

Now she is casual and natural, wearing a green long dress nightgown, which softens her somewhat aggressive and glamorous appearance.

"You didn't sleep either."

Cai Yi withdrew his gaze and said calmly.

Luo Xiaoxiao sat down next to her, enjoying the evening breeze.

The island incident made her realize that Cai Yi was probably not an ordinary person.

Mu Bai is a policeman, but his experience is beyond what an ordinary policeman can grasp. Others believed him in their tense and frightened state, but upon reflection afterward, they could all detect subtle clues.

The fact that Mu Bai could understand some of Cai Yi's words indicated that they knew each other, or were even colleagues...

Therefore, regardless of her financial intentions, if she has a close relationship with police officer Mu Bai, she has an obligation to remind him, just as a citizen should abide by the law.

“Jian Li and An Ruosu are the same kind of people, but she is good at disguising herself, so no matter what you are doing, you have to be careful.”

After Luo Xiaoxiao finished speaking, seeing that Cai Yi didn't move, she couldn't help but push her.

Cai Yi didn't suppress his voice, because there were no cameras or programs at night: "I know, so...aren't you scared?"

Did something like what happened with An Ruosu?

They still dare to appear on a show with such extreme fans?

They don't understand the meaning of wealth, or even comprehend it at all.

Isn't an island getaway enough?

"Do you think the production team is so incompetent that they would let something like this happen?"

"He's been a director for decades, one incident is enough to teach him a lesson."

Luo Xiaoxiao stood up and said irritably,

"Besides, I promised my fans that I would be on a variety show, and I can't go back on my word."

"Besides, aren't you supposed to protect me?"

"After all, you're a police officer."

"But Jian Li is very good at guiding people, so you'd better be careful. The internet is even more lawless than the real world."

Luo Xiaoxiao said a lot, then left with her last sentence and went back to her room.

The wind blew for a long time that night, and it got quite cold.

Caiyi blinked her round eyes, then got up and followed behind her.

The next morning.

director:

"Today's game is special."

"It was selected based on yesterday's online voting data."

"The first one was about boys doing girls' makeup, and then netizens voted to determine the rankings."

"First and second to last, you'll have to take care of your own breakfast today."

"Then, the ingredients will be distributed according to the ranking."

First place: Steamed buns, soy milk, fried dough sticks, eggs, and porridge.

Second place: Steamed buns, soy milk, and fried dough sticks.

Third place: Baozi

There are nine people in total, divided into four groups according to yesterday's division.

The decision on who gets the money is decided by a vote from the crowd, and the director does her makeup.

The boys put on makeup so quickly that netizens almost couldn't tell who was who among the girls.

The eyeshadow looks like it's been punched – bright, shiny, and with fine shimmer; you could say it's all overdone with bright colors.

The lipstick outline was beautifully drawn, bright red like blood, with a rich color. Paired with a face painted white as paper with foundation, it was a chillingly beautiful picture.

[Is none of them skilled at makeup?]

There's a strangely humorous quality to it.

It feels more like a comedic variety show than a sweet romance program.

[Hahaha, it turns out there are things Wen Shen doesn't know.]

Yes, yes, I always thought he was omnipotent.

As expected, everyone judged it a failure, because none of the makeup looks were presentable.

The girls washed their faces clean, put on makeup again, and looked beautiful once more.

Caiyi wasn't wearing makeup, not because she didn't want to, but because she had applied medicine to the scars on her face, making it unsuitable for makeup.

The director who did her makeup even knew to avoid her scars, which made her makeup look even more eerie and terrifying than the others.

Besides, I'll have to prepare the ingredients myself later, and with the sun shining so brightly, I'm sure I'll be sweating buckets.
