The Rebirth of a Top Star

With the intervention of fans, the riot did not last long.

Shen Nanqiao quickly led Zheng Yiyi away from the spot. The fans who rushed up at the beginning were moved by what the young lady said, so most of them managed to maintain order in the end.

Finally back in the car, Shen Nanqiao looked at Zheng Yiyi beside her. This time, they both sat in the back seat. "What do you think of my makeup?"

Zheng Yi carefully examined the document and finally gave Shen Nanqiao a satisfactory answer: "It's good, very good."

Just now, Shen Nanqiao saw several people taking pictures of her face with their phones, and she was afraid that photos of her looking unwell would circulate online soon.

Shen Nanqiao still cares a lot about what others think, at least about her appearance.

After walking around the tourist attractions without really exploring or buying any local specialties, it was already evening when they returned to the filming location.

Shen Nanqiao received a message saying that the live broadcast would proceed as scheduled that evening, so everyone ended their casual activities.

The bonfire was more elaborately decorated than yesterday, and the seats around it were also arranged. Shen Nanqiao followed Zheng Yiyi to her seat.

What she didn't see was the small, inconspicuous print: today, Gu Ning was the one assigned to sit next to Zheng Yiyi.

Shen Nanqiao sat directly in Gu Ning's seat.

So when Gu Ning arrived and saw Shen Nanqiao sitting in her seat, she hesitated for a few seconds, wondering if she should change seats.

He was torn between asking Shen Nanqiao to stand up or sitting in Shen Nanqiao's seat. Before he could come to a decision, Li Yicheng acted as if he hadn't seen him and sat down directly in Shen Nanqiao's seat.

Shen Nanqiao glanced over in the direction of Li Yicheng's large movement.

Now Gu Ning didn't have to worry about it anymore. He sat directly in Li Yicheng's seat, with Zhao Shuyue and Wu Miaomiao next to him, and he was right in the middle of the two of them.

Wu Miaomiao's wrapped feet were very conspicuous, at least they were exposed and brightly displayed, even closer to the fire source than others.

"It was just a prick, is it that serious?" Zheng Yi whispered in Shen Nanqiao's ear.

Shen Nanqiao only glanced at it at first, then neither expressed her opinion nor looked at it again.

Shen Nanqiao already knew exactly what kind of person Wu Miaomiao was.

"Just ignore it," she replied.

It's best not to interfere with each other.

When the live stream actually started, Shen Nanqiao noticed the guitar that Lu Qinian was already holding. The acoustic guitar wasn't very noticeable next to the flames, and by the time Shen Nanqiao saw it, the music was already drifting into her ears on the sea breeze.

Shen Nanqiao liked Lu Qinian's music; to her ears, which couldn't distinguish between good and bad, it was a voice full of emotion.

Finally, following the sound, Shen Nanqiao instantly knew where all these emotions came from. As Lu Qinian sang his love song, he stared intently at Shen Nanqiao and Zheng Yiyi beside him.

Zheng Yiyi was somewhat evasive.

She was the only one present who didn't look up.

Shen Nanqiao guessed that Lu Qinian must have been very puzzled recently, wondering why their initial date went so smoothly, but Zheng Yiyi nipped any potential contact in the bud.

The same reason.

Lu Qinian seemed to be truly captivated. The fire in his eyes flickered gently, shining brightly as he gazed at the only person in his eyes.

Shen Nanqiao raised her hand that was idling below and gently tapped Zheng Yiyi's knee. Zheng Yiyi's eyes were downcast, and she glanced at Shen Nanqiao who had made the move. Shen Nanqiao recognized her lip movements and she was saying: What!

Shen Nanqiao wanted to laugh, and she looked at the person opposite Zheng Yiyi on his behalf.

Until the music ends.

Most of the people present understood what was going on, so they all kept glancing at Zheng Yiyi, who was looking down. Only when everyone was applauding did Zheng Yiyi look at Lu Qinian across from her and offer her own round of applause.

Lu Qinian's gaze remained fixed on Zheng Yiyi.

The director was very considerate and edited together the two people's eye contact.

Zheng Yiyi's smile was forced.

Finally, the first segment ended, and Zheng Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief as she approached Shen Nanqiao. Shen Nanqiao found it amusing.

Once she was sure the camera wasn't filming her, and after getting a clear view of Wu Miaomiao's face, she pulled Zheng Yiyi aside and said, "You're really something. You were the one who provoked your brother first, and now you're trying to run away."

Zheng Yiyi's expression was no longer the same as before. She stopped joking with Shen Nanqiao and seemed to be deep in thought about how to handle the current situation.

Things are getting a bit tricky.

The guitar was passed around, and everyone who could play and sing gave a chance to perform. Some people who couldn't play any instruments had Lu Qinian play while they sang.

Before she knew it, the guitar was in Shen Nanqiao's hands. The two sisters were chatting so enthusiastically that Shen Nanqiao didn't even realize what Gu Ning had just sung.

Gu Ning didn't follow Lu Qinian's approach, but for some reason, after he finished singing, all the comments online were about shipping Gu Ning and Shen Nanqiao.

The magnetic field made Shen Nanqiao unconsciously glance at Gu Ning, who had just finished singing, and then she took the guitar.

She doesn't know any difficult pieces; there's only one very simple and beautiful one that Shen Nanqiao studied for a while.

She glanced at the camera pointing at her and whispered to Zheng Yiyi if she wanted to sing with her.

Although Zheng Yiyi is a professional, Shen Nanqiao probably wanted Zheng Yiyi to give him courage, and Zheng Yiyi actually agreed.

The two sang a very simple song, but their ethereal voices, combined with Shen Nanqiao's simple playing, captivated the listener.

Despite the changes over this period, the popularity of the Shen Nanqiao and Gu Ning couple has not decreased; on the contrary, it has become even more popular.

More and more people are becoming aware of the strange and awkward relationship between Shen Nanqiao and Gu Ning. Shen Nanqiao only learned about this through a conversation with Director Song after the live broadcast of the evening program.

Director Song gave Shen Nanqiao a suggestion, and Gu Ning was standing beside her when he made the suggestion.

This wasn't the first time Shen Nanqiao had heard this suggestion; she had received the same serious advice before, when she was with Fang Zihe.

Shen Nanqiao didn't seem to care much. She looked directly at Gu Ning standing beside her and asked, "What do you think?"

Gu Ning had no objections.

He didn't know that his actions today would lead to this result, and of course he had no objections.

Seeing that neither of them seemed to care, the director felt relieved and advised, "Just act as usual with each other, don't be too fake."

Director Song always showed more patience towards Shen Nanqiao.

The director arranged for several photos of the couple gazing at each other to be posted on the official Weibo account. Shen Nanqiao and Gu Ning followed the director's instructions, forwarding the photos from the official Weibo post and adding their own captions.

'It's really warm by the campfire.' Below is a post from the official Weibo account that Shen Nanqiao forwarded.

Gu Ning, who was a step too late, did not forward the official Weibo message herself like the other groups, but instead forwarded Shen Nanqiao's message.

After making those small gestures, Shen Nanqiao stopped paying attention to her own news. It was just the same old comments, which she was already very familiar with.

So Shen Nanqiao tossed her phone aside and returned to the campfire.

Although the live stream ended, the recording continued into the night.

Everyone returned quickly. After Shen Nanqiao sat down, she heard Wu Miaomiao's suggestion, "Let's play a timed game, Truth or Dare."

To be honest, it's a really old-fashioned show. But that's why the audience likes it, and the staff in charge were also satisfied.

So a bizarre game just started out of nowhere.

Shen Nanqiao leaned closer to listen to the rules they were talking about. In her hazy state, Shen Nanqiao could only make out the crackling sound of the campfire burning in the air.

Everything else was just a rough outline, but that's how it started.

On the sixth time, after others had successfully exchanged glances during the game, the bomb finally reached Shen Nanqiao's hands.

Shen Nanqiao's phone rang; it was someone's phone, and the timer had expired.

Shen Nanqiao had been a little distracted, and Wu Miaomiao seized the opportunity.

Before anyone could think of a question, she asked the one she had already prepared: "Have you ever been in a relationship before?"

This issue is already somewhat taboo in the entertainment industry. Besides, Shen Nanqiao hasn't been in the industry for very long, and there's no related negative information about her online.

No matter what Shen Nanqiao says, there is always the risk of being attacked online.

The moment Wu Miaomiao blurted out her words, Zheng Yiyi and Gu Ning on the field looked over in disapproval, wanting to stop her.

The moment Wu Miaomiao opened her mouth, Shen Nanqiao knew that there would definitely be no good questions. Fortunately, the final question was such a low-IQ and non-threatening topic.

"I haven't met the right person yet, and I'm still single." Shen Nanqiao answered instantly without hesitation.

Upon hearing Shen Nanqiao's reply, Wu Miaomiao's face darkened. She believed she knew about Shen Nanqiao's affair with his sugar daddy.

Now that Shen Nanqiao is so direct in saying she's never been in a relationship, I wonder if she's slapping her sugar daddy in the face.

On one hand, Wu Miaomiao hated Shen Nanqiao's decisiveness, but on the other hand, she was secretly pleased.

Perhaps the man saw Shen Nanqiao's undisguised words and got angry, leaving Shen Nanqiao without any support.

Yes, she guessed that the reason Shen Nanqiao dared to be so arrogant towards her was all because that man was backing Shen Nanqiao up.

If I find someone even more powerful than that man to back me up, what can Shen Nanqiao use to oppose me?

Such a question was really boring, so Shen Nanqiao casually set it to two minutes and sent the phone out clockwise again.

Unexpectedly, the phone returned to Shen Nanqiao's hands once again.

The moment it exploded, Shen Nanqiao was stunned. The first time was a coincidence, but she didn't expect the second time to be a coincidence as well.

Shen Nanqiao felt utterly hopeless, only wishing the show would end soon. This time, Zheng Yiyi, who was beside her, didn't give Wu Miaomiao a chance to speak, and directly asked Shen Nanqiao a question that she had asked her before.

"Have you ever met a man who makes your heart flutter?" Shen Nanqiao knew that Zheng Yiyi was asking this to promote the current on-screen couple.

Logically speaking, Shen Nanqiao should be glancing at Gu Ning beside her now, and then whispering that they might have run into each other.

But for some reason, the moment Zheng Yi asked that question, Shen Nanqiao thought of the back of a man running in front of her, keeping pace with her, his back slightly damp.

Shen Nanqiao never expected that when she brought up this issue on the show, surrounded by so many men, the first person she thought of was her sugar daddy who exploited her.

Song Shiyuan is indeed very suitable to be a capitalist because he makes the most of all resources.

However, Shen Nanqiao still couldn't understand why she thought of him.

Is it because I'll be going home in a few days and will likely have to continue going for morning runs with my sponsor?

Zheng Yi thought Shen Nanqiao understood her feelings, so she brought up this topic with Shen Nanqiao.

Unexpectedly, Shen Nanqiao actually started to think about it and remained silent.

Just as she was about to lose her patience, Shen Nanqiao said, "Strictly speaking, I'm not sure."

If you say you've encountered it, it might be for the sake of the show. If you say you've never, it might be a direct refusal to answer, and that might not be true either.

But such an answer is really too suggestive, too real.

Even Zheng Yiyi thought Shen Nanqiao would answer according to the usual script, but she didn't expect this answer.

The others assumed that Shen Nanqiao was referring to Gu Ning, since these two were the people they spent the most time with.

Gu Ning knew perfectly well that Shen Nanqiao, who hadn't even glanced at him, was not talking about him.

Now, it seems he is truly disheartened.

After so many years, I finally made an effort and took the initiative, but I still encountered a stubborn rock, a rock that I could never warm up.

Gu Ning lowered his head and didn't see Shen Nanqiao looking at him afterward.

Shen Nanqiao only realized after she finished speaking that she was still on the show and needed to cooperate.

She didn't know that Gu Ning had just lowered her head.

After all the filming was completed and we took a final break, it was already 11 p.m.

Shen Nanqiao removed her makeup herself and comfortably returned to her and Zheng Yiyi's tent.

She lay down and, as usual, took out her phone, which she had placed under her pillow while taking the picture. Before she even opened it, she saw a notification on her phone screen.

Song Shiyuan and Shen Nanqiao's names were displayed together.

Shen Nanqiao's face stiffened. Could it be? Shen Nanqiao had no idea what had happened.

She clicked on it hastily and saw that Song Shiyuan had liked and commented on the Weibo post she had just made.

Song Shiyuan said, "It's very beautiful."

Shen Nanqiao's fingers were frozen in place, unsure of what to reply.

What is he doing? Doesn't he still have a girlfriend? Isn't he afraid that others will find out about their relationship?

Shen Nanqiao was now panicking. She realized that things weren't going as she had imagined. If everything had gone smoothly, she would have seen herself and Gu Ning as a couple. Instead, everyone was discussing how she and Song Shiyuan met and when they became acquainted.

Song Shiyuan may not be considered a member of the entertainment industry, but his face and figure are undeniably popular among netizens.

Moreover, Song Shiyuan was also very wealthy.
