REHC – Chapter 26

        Ruan Tian was in an indignant mood when she finally took to the stage with the other members of the crew. 

        It seemed that Fruit Station was deliberately fanning the flames of the TianxJing CP that had been in the news for a while, because they had especially arranged their positions to be together.

        However, during the first segment of the show, Xu Jing didn’t take the initiative to speak to her even once during the whole process, and he carefully avoided all physical contact.

        Both the hosts and the audience could see the subtle atmosphere floating around between the two people, and everyone felt a little awkward.

        During the intermission, an intern from Fruit Station couldn’t bear all the excitement, and posted on his Weibo: 【Today our Fruit Station crew is recording the recently popular CP from ‘The Replacement Princess’, the small 18th-tier actress and the big star. But it’s very different from what we expected. The big star refused to even communicate and had a black face throughout the whole process. 】

        Of course, such a pitiful attempt to ‘conceal’ the people involved was almost immediately seen through.

        “Xu Jing and Ruan Tian? It’s the two of them, right?”

        “I didn’t like her even when watching ‘The Replacement Princess’s’ broadcast. She has so much marketing, but her acting skills were just so-so, and she doesn’t even look like much. Besides, Xu Jing slapped her in the face and said that he wasn’t familiar with her from the start, have you all forgotten?”

        “If the TianxJing CP is real and they really fell in love then I’ll end it all here okay, I’ll knock my head with a block of tofu until I’m dead!”

        “Are there still people with trashy mouths spreading nonsense? Ruan Tian is married, and neither of them have even been paying attention to each other from the start. Besides, Xu Jing is so handsome and beautiful, what can a little Ruan Tian do except kowtow at his feet?”

        Xu Jing’s girlfriend fans were out in force, working hard to strangle this CP in the cradle as quickly as possible. Just like the last time this CP was in the news cycle, they all appeared to drag Ruan Tian out and satirize her to their heart’s content.

        “@RuanTian, The world of top-notch stars isn’t a place that a thing like you can crawl into just because you want to.”

        “@RuanTian, Don’t pose as a superstar when you have no results.”

        “@RuanTian, Please, as a married woman, have a bit of morality.”

        “@RuanTian, **** your mother.” 

        Of course, these small fights on the internet were basically just a big farce from the start, so Ruan Tian didn’t pay any attention to it.

        After the intermission, it was time for the game session.

        The director seemed fearless of death and, for the sake of ratings and chasing trends, he once again put Ruan Tian and Xu Jing together in one group.

        The game was a very simple drawing and guessing game. Where one person would draw an idiom and then pantomime it out with actions, and the other person would try to guess the idiom.

        Obviously, Ruan Tian and Xu Jing didn’t have the kind of tacit understanding required to play such a game.

        Ruan Tian even felt that Xu Jing didn’t want to so much as look at her.

        To Xu Jing, Ruan Tian’s gestures and movements seemed random and incoherent, and the frown on Xu Jing’s face grew deeper and deeper, while his eyes were so filled with disgust that it didn’t even need to be mentioned.

        Seeing those eyes, Ruan Tian was confident that Xu Jing was scolding her as an idiot in his heart!

        They drew more than a dozen idioms, but neither of them could guess even one.

        After the game portion was over, Ruan Tian was really feeling a little embarrassed about everything so she moved a few steps toward Xu Jing, ready to apologize to him.

        But then suddenly, there was a flash of light, and she noticed that the chandelier above Xu Jing’s head was swaying unsteadily and seemed to be about to fall down. Before she could even think about it, Ruan Tian’s body had rushed forward to push him out of the way. 

        Her hit was so strong that Xu Jing was thrown backward and slammed into the ground.

        He was about to shout: Ruan Tian, ​​have you finally lost your damn mind trying to chase fame? ! !

        However, the roar in Xu Jing’s heart hadn’t managed to come out when there was a sudden huge crash, and an explosion of shattering glass scattered all over the floor.

        Xu Jing was dumbfounded by this twist.

        At the same time, after pushing him out of the way, Ruan Tian’s foot had been caught up in things and now it hurt quite a bit.

        The director and other crew members quickly recovered from their fear, and the director shouted into his bullhorn: “Where’s the assistant director?! Go and check if Teacher Xu is hurt!”

        “And what’s the matter with that light? You people responsible for the lighting, get over here and check it out. Also, someone sweep away all this glass.” 

        Like this, the show ended up being temporarily suspended.

        Xu Jing’s agent came over and quickly helped him up from the ground while asking all sorts of things, “Brother Jing, are you okay? You weren’t frightened, right? Don’t worry…” 

        At the same time, the assistant director hurried to his side with a nervous expression. This person was a noble deity that even high-level executives at Fruit Station had to be polite to and their small station really couldn’t afford to offend him, which made the assistant director very worried. If something really happened to this man while he was in their station, this little assistant director knew that he would probably have to give up on working in this industry in the future.

        “Teacher Xu, please go backstage and get some rest for now. I will find a doctor to come over and take a look.”

        Xu Jing pressed his lips into a thin line and murmured, “I’m fine.”
