Title: Adopting and Raising the Male Lead and the Villain
Translator: Fringe Alpaca
Chapter 175 - Swimsuits (1)
Ling Lan, as the female lead, was better at containing herself and wouldn't stoop to Yin Qiqi’s level of pulling that type of stunts. Zhong Yuhuan and Ling Lan were amicable with each other the first night. The next morning, they got ready and left their cabin on their own. There were no greetings of any sorts as though they were just strangers.
When Yin Qiqi showed up again, she had already returned to her usual state. Probably because she knew fully well by now that no matter how much she feigned to be weak and delicate, to the extent that there was no script to work with, nobody was silly enough to fall for it.
The filming on the second day was at a beach front.
Zhong Yuhuan had on some sun-proof clothing with a white knee-length skirt underneath. It was a very plain-looking outfit as she wasn’t there to compete or outshine anyone. Her swimsuit was inside of her backpack.
After she had gotten out of the car, Li Jinyuan reached out his hand and said, “Let me carry that for you.”
Huo Chengming reached out his hand almost at the same time, “Let me have it, Huanhuan.”
All of the others looked over to them almost simultaneously.
Nevermind about the others, even Ge Mei and Gu Yuling, who were seasoned veterans in the entertainment circle, couldn't help but look over with curiosity. Zhong Yuhuan, Huo Chengming, and Li Jinyuan knew each other from before the show, but exactly how well do they know each other?! What kind of relationships did they have with each other? Everything just seemed so odd right now!
Being gazed by everybody, Zhong Yuhuan quickly held on tightly to her backpack and shook her head. “It’s not heavy at all. I don't need any help with it. Let’s go, let’s go. The sun is beating down too strongly. I want to go sit under the shade.”
That’s when Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming finally retrieved their hands.
But both of them had a look of regret that flashed across their faces.
When they arrived at the private beach, the beach chairs and umbrellas were already all set up.
There were even fruits, snacks, and beverages.
Those were ordered by Zhong Yuhuan.
When Yin Qiqi saw those, she immediately had some thoughts. Finally, she looked over at Zhong Yuhuan and asked, “Are these expensive? Did we spend a lot of money on them?”
Zhong Yuhuan shook her head and said, “Not too much, they gave us 50% off.”
Now Yin Qiqi felt even more dubious. “How is that possible? I have never heard of anything like that.”
Zhong Yuhuan smiled and said, “The hotel wanted to offer them to me for free initially.”
Yin Qiqi chuckled, obviously thinking that Zhong Yuhuan was just joking.
“It’s okay if we overspent, we can always do some assignments to earn some extra money,” said Ling Lan all of a sudden.
Zhong Yuhuan looked over at her after she heard that. For a while there she wasn’t sure whether Ling Lan was agreeing that she had overspent or that she was defending her.
Such was the profoundness of the Chinese language! Thought Zhong Yuhuan to herself but quickly got over it.
“We are here to have fun. We should be able to enjoy ourselves. We can always make more if we run low. That will be fun too,” said Ge Mei with a smile.
Wen Yongchen chimed in. “Mei-jie is right.”
But Zhong Yuhuan wasn’t kidding at all.
She wasn’t a fan of Thailand, but Han Yingying was. When Han Yingying found out that she’d be going to Thailand for filming, she shoved her a bunch of cards and begged her to use them and enjoy herself as much as she could.
One of them happened to be the SS VIP card of this hotel.
This was a global hotel chain and stressed very much on customer experience. They offered many promotions for their VIPs. After all, it didn’t matter if their customers cared about the perks, it was still important that perks were offered.
Zhong Yuhuan didn’t plan on using the cards. After all, the show has explicit rules against using personal items including cellphone or wallet, which included the cards in one’s wallet.
But when Zhong Yuhuan was pulling out the communal budget to pay for the bill, the hotel staff spotted the VIP card immediately and wanted to wave the cost. Had it not been the production crew’s obvious displeasure, they wouldn’t even accept 50% of the payment.
