Quick Transmigration: Rescuing the Blackened Male Lead - Chapter 433
Chapter 433: Heard You Got Shelved (38)
Wu Xueqing silently cursed Zhang Hao in her heart for dragging her into trouble. On the surface, however, she maintained a polite smile and said, “It seems so, but I’m usually quite absent-minded and don’t pay much attention to other private matters within the crew.”
Lin Man turned her attention to Yu Jingchen and said, “It seems everyone thinks you and Xiaoxing have a great relationship.”
Yu Jingchen gave an embarrassed smile, his clean and pure eyes full of sincerity.
“When I first joined the crew, Sister Xiaoxing didn’t have any scenes yet. She watched us film for two days and even brought drinks for everyone. I thought she was really kind. Later, by chance, we ended up discussing acting techniques, and over time, we got to know each other better.”
His response was remarkably tactful.
Not only did he defuse Zhang Hao’s ambiguous remarks, but he also helped clear up the rumors about Shen Mubai from a few months ago—a perfect two-for-one.
In comparison, Zhang Hao’s earlier words came across as petty and unsophisticated.
Not wanting to linger on this topic, Lin Man swiftly changed gears.
After all, the show had limited airtime.
“Now, let’s have Jingchen bring us the talent performance he prepared for today.”
Yu Jingchen performed a sweet little love song about first love.
His voice was exceptionally pleasant—clean and pure.
He exuded a slightly shy and bashful charm but without any sense of timidity.
By the end of the song, most of the female audience members couldn’t help but feel a little more fond of him.
Lin Man then posed a few more questions to the guests before flashing a mysterious smile.
“Today, we have a fun little game. The winner will get to sit back and watch as the losing team is punished by the production crew. The punishment is random—how exciting does that sound?”
“Exciting!”
The audience shouted in unison.
Lin Man continued smiling.
“Also, the activity requires two-person teams competing against each other. The losing team will face the punishment. So, how about this pairing? Zhang Hao and Xueqing are the official CP in the show, and Jingchen and Xiaoxing have been shipped as a couple by some fans online. What do you all think of these teams?”
The audience cheered enthusiastically, “Sounds great!”
Lin Man chuckled, “Alright then, let the game officially begin!”
The game involved stepping on balloons.
Within the allotted time, the team with the fewest popped balloons would face the punishment.
As the staff counted down, the two teams began frantically stomping on balloons scattered across the floor.
Zhang Hao intended to use the game as an opportunity to stir up some rumors with Wu Xueqing.
However, she wasn’t interested at all.
Besides, she was a yoga enthusiast and, by far, the fastest and most efficient at popping balloons among everyone.
When Lin Man announced the results, Zhang Hao’s face turned visibly pale.
Yet, with the cameras rolling, he forced a smile.
The losing team, Shen Mubai and Yu Jingchen, had to accept the punishment.
As the roulette wheel spun and eventually stopped, the audience seemed even more nervous than the participants.
The punishment was written on a concealed note.
After reading it, Lin Man’s signature smile widened.
“Wow, this is definitely an unexpected punishment. Would you all like to guess what it is?”
“Kissing!”
“Princess carry!”
“Drink chili water!”
…
Lin Man chuckled.
“It seems everyone’s imagination is running wild. Jingchen, why don’t you take a guess at what the punishment might be?”
