Title: Adopting and Raising the Male Lead and the Villain
Translator: Fringe Alpaca
Chapter 170 - We were filming right now. Wake up, Li Jinyuan! (2)
Wen Yongchen smiled and said, “I didn’t write anything down. I didn’t know who to pick.”
“You can always pick yourself, Chen-ge,” said Gu Yuling.
Wen Yongchen smiled and shook his head. “That will be quite embarrassing.”
The few of them teased him a little bit before the fifth piece of paper was pulled out.
Ge Mei’s action obviously paused for a brief second in midair before she read it out, “Zhong Yuhuan.”
Zhong Yuhuan: “???”
That was for sure Li Jinyuan.
Zhong Yuhuan gritted her teeth and kicked Li Jinyuan.
Ge Mei couldn't help but look over at Zhong Yuhuan and smiled. “Looks like many of you have voted for Yuhuan.”
Zhong Yuhuan put on a dazed look. “Eh?”
Ge Mei quickly pulled out the sixth piece of paper. “Ling Lan.”
Perhaps, because she had already read out Zhong Yuhuan’s name earlier and was no longer surprised that a regular person would receive votes, she seemed much calmer this time.
The camera panned onto the original female lead, who smiled with poise and said, “Thank you. I don’t know who voted for me, but I am certainly happy that I received one vote!”
Zhong Yuhuan didn’t say anything.
She was the one who voted for her and that was only because she didn’t want to vote for any stars and become ammunition when their fans started to fight. She didn’t have much feelings toward Yin Qiqi either, so she figured she’d just vote for the female lead.
Then, it was the seventh and the eighth votes.
The third one went to Wen Yongchen; it was from Ling Lan. And the eighth one went to Gu Yuling, from Ge Mei. Ge Mei would not vote for a male actor because she didn’t want their fans to gang up on her and she also didn’t want any gossip. She was already well-known in the circle and didn’t need to have gossip to boost. Relatively speaking, she was more worried about attracting negativity. It was the safest for her to vote for a female actress that was her junior.
After they had counted all the votes, the situation was a bit awkward.
This was the consequence of not having a script. Everybody had their own agenda, so the votes would scatter all over the place. Huo Chengming and Yin Qiqi had no votes at all. All the others each have one vote each. Zhong Yuhuan with her two votes stood out even more.

She only came to the show for headcount purposes and had totally planned on just eating, drinking, and enjoying the travel. Really just a change of scenery.
She really didn’t care whether she had a lot of screen time!
Yin Qiqi couldn’t even maintain her smile anymore.
She had figured that there were a total of four regular individuals, so most people would probably vote for a star. That way, even when none of the regulars have any votes, nobody would feel embarrassed. She never would have guessed that even Ling Lan has a vote but not herself. Not to mention that Zhong Yuhuan has two votes herself.
Gu Mei has a hard time believing that as well, but she just looked over in Zhong Yuhuan’s direction with a natural look, smiled, and said, “Well then, I guess you will be our tour guide!” Having said that, she looked over at Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming and asked, “Were those your votes?”
Li Jinyuan smiled and said, “Yes.”
“Yes,” said Huo Chengming.
Zhong Yuhuan just wanted to cry.
You weren’t supposed to vote for who you like, okay? The purpose of it was to pick out a tour guide! One that would be responsible for the itinerary!
Gu Mei turned and looked at the director. Seeing that the director had no intention of calling it a stop, she knew that the filming would carry on.
That was probably something that would rarely happen in a reality TV show, and it just might become a selling point. Gu Mei figured out that that was probably the intention of the production crew and stopped hesitating. She was the first to pull out the money that was given to her earlier by the show for the trip and handed it over to Zhong Yuhuan. “We will now hand our budget over to Yuhuan for her planning.”
