Chapter 178 - There’s no need to act any differently in front of the camera (1)
Zhong Yuhuan didn’t end up using the swimming ring after all. Nor did she try to learn how to swim from Huo Chengming. She rented a water scooter herself and played around for half a day with the trainer.
Zhong Yuhuan had it all thought out.
She didn’t need any screen time; she would be much more relaxed and have more fun being by herself.
But after she left on her own, those who were left behind felt even more awkward.
After all, there was no script. And once they were off script, all of them were distant people. So now they couldn’t possibly use the I-am-afraid-of-water-and-afraid-of-water-scooter-I-would-suck-at-it-but-I-finally-overcame-my-fear-and-went-into-the-water-and-learned-to-master-the-water-scooter-after-several-fail-attempt-type-of-chicken-soup trope.
So the rest of them had no choice but to either put on their swimming rings or go swimming. Others pretended that they were still a child at heart and played with the sand on the beach, while others chitchatted awkwardly.
Ge Mei and Wen Yongchen sat around and chatted with each other. Gu Yuling, Li Jinyuan, and Huo Chengming all went into the water.
Yin Qiqi thought about playing in the sand with Lin Lang so she wouldn’t appear too odd, but Ling Lan gave her a look, walked over to one side, and asked for a diving suit from the trainer.
Both Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming could swim. They were, in fact, and very good at it. They had completely given up on the swimming rings and turned into fish once they hit the water. Their motions in the water were both elegant and full of power.
Gu Yuling purposefully moved toward Li Jinyuan’s direction.
But, right at this moment, a wave splashed onto Zhong Yuhuan’s water scooter. Almost everyone’s attention was drawn right away. They looked toward Zhong Yuhuan.
By the time the wave had subsided, the water scooter came right out of it with Zhong Yuhuan riding steadily on top of it. Squinting, her entire body was wet and her hair stuck to her face. They accentuated the shape of her face even more, and the swimsuit fitted even more tightly over her body, making her look like a flower emerging from the water.
Naturally, nobody could turn their attention away from her.
Not too far away, Gu Lingyu wiped away the sea water that had splattered onto her face before she saw that Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming had already swam over to where Zhong Yuhuan was when the wave came and were already next to her by now.
Gu Lingyu oddly felt that if another wave came, the two of them would reach out their arms and lift Zhong Yuhuan off of the water scooter.
Once that thought had occurred to her, Gu Lingyu couldn't help but look over in their direction again. The more she looked at them, the more she was certain of it.
Zhong Yuhuan stayed on her water scooter and moved forward. Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming just swam nearby.
The two men in the camera may look like they were just trying to look their best for the camera. When that footage aired, it would most certainly make a lot of young girls shriek at the screen. However, Gu Lingyu felt that she had seen the truth lying beneath all that.
The truth was, the two of them were like dolphins in the ocean, following the water scooter wherever it went.
Gu Yuling, “……”
When the filming was done, Zhong Yuhuan had her share of fun as well. She got off the water scooter, packed up, and was ready to go for lunch.
Big Sister Yang was part of the filming crew. After the filming had ended and everyone went to get their food, Zhong Yuhuan quietly disappeared from the camera.
Big Sister Yang avoided the other guests and pulled her over to one side, “This won’t work.”
Zhong Yuhuan, “Huh?”
“The reason that the show has no script was to allow the participants to truly be themselves. That’s the draw of the show!”
Zhong Yuhuan was a little baffled. “What do you mean?”
Big Sister Yang said to her softly, “I mean, you can act naturally around Li Jinyuan and little Boss Huo. There’s no need to act any differently in front of the camera.”
