Lu Jingzhi entered the villa at half past six in the evening.
Jiang Yuning looked up at Lu Jingzhi and she could not help but stare at his long and perfect silhouette. How could such a perfect and handsome man exist in this world?
Even if she spent every day of her life with him, it would still not be enough…
“So, what do you want from me?” At this time, Lu Jingzhi was wiping his hands with the wet hand towel that Sister Liang had just passed to him.
Lu Jingzhi had a calm expression on his face although he was in fact very excited because Jiang Yuning needed him.
Ah! Such ego.
“Second brother…you know how to shoot, right?”
As soon as Lu Jingzhi heard Jiang Yuning’s question, he immediately knew her intentions. He sat down on the sofa next to Jiang Yuning before he said, “I am not going to teach you.”
“Why not?” Jiang Yuning asked with a discouraged look on her face.
“Because your ability to control your own nosebleed when you see me is too terrible.” Lu Jingzhi laughed at the expression on Jiang Yuning’s face as he loosened the buttons on his shirt.
“Are you sure you are not going to teach me? If that is the case, I will have to look for another instructor. The instructor will not only hold my hands, but he will also hug me from the back and…”
Before Jiang Yuning could finish her sentence, Lu Jingzhi had already lifted her chin in his hand and kissed her directly on her lips.
After an intense kiss, Lu Jingzhi then whispered into Jiang Yuning’s ear. “I see you are starting to get more and more courageous…”
“Well, are you going to teach me or not?” Jiang Yuning asked in a coquettish tone as she pulled Lu Jingzhi’s collar gently.
“I will teach you how to shoot after you learn how to swim.”
“I am going to change into my swimsuit right now!” Jiang Yuning was very excited because she could not wait to see how heroic and masculine Lu Jingzhi looked when he held a gun in his hand. “Sigh…if only we had already gotten together when you were serving in the military. If that was the case, then I would have been able to go to the army base to visit you and I could have looked at you when you were still so handsome and tender.”
When Lu Jingzhi heard Jiang Yuning’s words, he pulled her back into his arms and asked, “So, do you think that I am old now?”
Jiang Yuning stared right into Lu Jingzhi’s eyes and replied, “No…you are just more mature and full of hormones now.”
In fact, Jiang Yuning could already be considered the luckiest person in the world because she had seen many different sides of him.
Jiang Yuning also finally took her swimming lesson seriously because there was a goal that she wanted to achieve.
This made Lu Jingzhi laugh.
Was his wife really interested in shooting?
Or was she just interested in him?
Better yet, was she just interested in the way he shot?
…
Vera and Jiang Yuning headed over to the cosmetics company to meet up with the person in charge to discuss the employment contract for Jiang Yuning’s appointment as their brand ambassador. Jiang Yuning could feel the other party’s sincerity because they had already waited for her for more than three months just so they could appoint her as their ambassador.
The cosmetics brand was called Cai Ling and some of the formulae that this cosmetic company used in their products dated back to the formulae used in the palace in the olden days. Moreover, the packaging of the cosmetics was really very pretty and exquisite.
What the other party valued and appreciated was the poise and elegance that Jiang Yuning had when she wore traditional Chinese outfit. On the other hand, Jiang Yuning valued the other party’s ingenuity and the quality of their products. Therefore, both sides hit it off immediately as soon as they sat down to discuss the contract.
According to Jiang Yuning’s current value in the entertainment circle, she was definitely worth much more than she what she would have been worth had they signed the contract three months ago.
Since she was the one who had kept the other party waiting in the first place, Jiang Yuning did not feel good about charging the other party the current rate. Jiang Yuning instructed Vera to proceed and charge them the previous price.
The other party was very grateful for Jiang Yuning’s understanding and kindness. As a token of appreciation, he gifted her a Cai Ling giftbox filled with a set of luxury lipsticks.
Both parties were equally happy with the collaboration. After they finalized the final endorsement contract, Jiang Yuning quickly signed the contract with the other party. The next step was to wait for the team from Cai Ling to arrange and coordinate the schedule to start filming the commercials.
For the next two days, Jiang Yuning stayed at home in an attempt to master the art of swimming. After many desperate attempts, Jiang Yuning was finally able to swim and float in water. She was already crying with joy at this point.
Alas, she could finally see how Lu Jingzhi looked like when he was shooting!
…
Very soon, the Friday night that all of the audience had been waiting for finally arrived!
It had been quite difficult to find a good variety show of late, and that was the reason why this variety show was like a gift sent from heaven.
For this reason, the fans decided to set up a fan page for the variety show <Desert Island Rescue>.
A lot of fans started leaving comments on the fan page because the variety show was aired at prime time on Friday.
I would not be going to any parties tonight! Even if my boyfriend called me or looked for me, I am going to ask him to reschedule!
At seven thirty that night, the second part of <Desert Island Rescue>’s first episode was finally aired. The show began with a one-minute recap of everything that had happened during the broadcast the previous week. After that, the focus was back onto the scene where Jiang Yuning and Jin Mingchen had gone looking for a willow tree by the river.
They had both walked for about forty minutes before they finally stumbled across a small willow tree by the river bank.
Jiang Yuning sat Jin Mingchen under another neighbouring tree before she took a dagger out and started scraping at the willow tree bark. Jiang Yuning then started a small fire and took out a small black pot to boil some tea from the barks from the willow tree for Jin Mingchen.
After ensuring that Jin Mingchen had drunk the tea, Jiang Yuning laid down on the ground next to Jin Mingchen because she was already so exhausted at this point. At this time, Xu Beishen suddenly appeared in front of them with a flashlight in her hand.
There was a confrontation between the three of them but the production team decided to cut that scene out of the show because the content of the conversation was really unbearable.
However, Xu Beishen’s insult and mockery towards Jiang Yuning, and her indifference towards Jin Mingchen was extremely clear to the audience.
[Ahh! I’m really very agitated right now. What kind of expert is she? Why is her attitude so bad? Jiang Yuning has already taken care of her teammate for her the entire day and she still wants him to follow her?]
[Hahaha! Jin Mingchen is really very hilarious! He said that he didn’t want to drag Jiang Yuning down. He only wanted to drag Xu Beishen down now. That kid is so adorable!]
[That boy has the right mindset! It is definitely the responsibility of the group leader to take care of her own teammate!]
After a short conversation, Jiang Yuning successfully returned Jin Mingchen to his own group.
Of course, at this point, the audience were already annoyed and frustrated at Xu Beishen.
However, a short while later when Jiang Yuning’s team had finally escaped the jungle, the production team suddenly ran up to them, saying that an unexpected event had occurred and that it was probably best for Jiang Yuning to take Jin Mingchen along with them.
After that, the focus was on Jin Mingchen as he shouted, “Sister Yuning!!!”
[Jin Mingchen was only ditched for no more than three seconds! I thought he didn’t want to hinder Jiang Yuning anymore!]
[That kid is really making me laugh.]
The production team then proceeded to explain why they wanted Jin Mingchen to follow Jiang Yuning instead. This was because Xu Beishen had already run off by herself to collect some plant specimen for her own selfish needs.
[This expert is really very selfish and toxic! Don’t you think so? She was there to film the variety show, so why can’t she show some basic respect for the production team?]
[She is causing everyone else unnecessary stress and trouble!]
[Who were the ones who said that this expert is beautiful and capable right from the start? Although Jin Mingchen is very needy and hilarious, at least he does not cause the production crew any unnecessary trouble!]
[I remember that some people even compared Jiang Yuning and Xu Beishen side by side before the show started! For many days, they were trampling on Jiang Yuning but look how it has turned out in the end!]
As the audience were criticizing Xu Beishen, their attention was soon diverted.
This was because at this time, Jiang Yuning’s group had already gone into their scavenging mode.
[Oh my god! This is the first time that I am learning that there are actually so much food that are edible in the jungle! Jin Mingchen, are you relying on your dancing skills to survive in the jungle?]
[Look! Hurry and look! Cameraman, please show us a close up of Tong Tong’s backpack! I saw him stuffing a lot of food into his backpack earlier.]
[Can everyone just show more respect for <Desert Island Rescue>?]
[The fishing method that Jiang Yuning had just taught them is one of the most ancient methods that the older generation like us used to use in the olden days. It is a really effective method! Jiang Yuning is really remarkable!]
[I finally understand why the producers are balding…]
