Chapter 283: This little mischief is truly adorable

Li Ping has also gone all-in; anyway, he's already off-script, but the live audience keeps growing, so it's worth a gamble.

Lin Meng's eyes lit up; although Xie Zhiyun could get what she wanted, this way she wouldn't become the target of everyone's criticism.

Chen Yuqi was dissatisfied, but he couldn't lash out on the spot; he merely etched this Xie Zhiyun firmly in his mind, planning to give her a lesson later.

Soon, the live broadcast venue turned outdoors.

On the mountaintop, a cool breeze whispered, yet everyone clenched their fists and rubbed their palms, their enthusiasm high.

"Good heavens, I'm still trying bungee jumping for the first time—how about you?"

An amateur, seeing that Lin Meng even got screen time, had his thoughts stir and dared to speak.

The other guests chimed in one after another.

"It's my first time too; I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself, and later I'll burst into tears in front of everyone, with the whole nation watching—I'll lose face completely."

"Hahaha, don't be scared—we're all the same; before jumping we all think about looking gorgeous and handsome, but after we jump we'll surely fail at managing our expressions."

"Please, director, please don't give me a close-up—it'll really be ugly..."

Hearing this, Xie Zhiyun snorted coldly, her face saying: with a face of self passage:

"I'm fine, after all I often did wire work while filming before—this isn't anything to me."

After she spoke, no one responded; Xie Zhiyun gave a cold snort and suddenly looked at Lin Meng.

"Lin Meng, you actively invited Yu Ge to compete; you must be fully confident, right?"

Lin Meng rarely gave her a straight look, yet she said:

"I'm also trying it for the first time."

Xie Zhiyun felt greatly surprised, then couldn't help but feel schadenfreude.

No one would stay graceful and beautiful during their first experience of weightlessness at height; Lin Meng will embarrass herself this time.

Meanwhile, Chen Yuqi, hearing that, thought of something else.

He couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, feeling a bit more certain.

This Lin Meng is indeed scheming; on one hand she attracts his attention with a lofty attitude, on the other she guides him to compete in bungee jumping, promising that if she loses she'll confirm a romantic relationship with him on the show.

And she's never actually done bungee jumping before—doesn't that mean she's just waiting to lose to him?

After going around in such a big circle, all just to be able to approach him without leaving a trace.

This Lin Meng is somewhat interesting.

At the airport, Sun Yao stared at the screen, looking indignant.

"Hey, what is Chen Yuqi secretly enjoying? Could it be that he thinks Miss Lin lacks bungee experience, so he's sure to win?"

After speaking, Sun Yao realized he might have spoken too hastily, hurriedly looked at Ye Chenjing, and indeed saw General Manager Ye's face darken as he stared at Chen Yuqi's eyes, as if filled with myriad sword lights, wishing to pierce him with ten thousand arrows.

"General Manager Ye, although Miss Lin lacks experience, she will surely win; I just dug up some dirt on Chen Yuqi, which includes his using stunt doubles while claiming he did everything himself."

"This Chen Yuqi has never done wire work; for his higher‑risk scenes, stunt doubles always stand in."

"People like him—let alone bungee jumping, even getting onto a bed is a struggle; he's just a good‑for‑nothing."

Ye Chenjing felt furious inside, angry that he hadn't caught up; otherwise he could have gone undercover as an amateur to give that scoundrel a good thrashing.

But he still wanted to believe Lin Meng; since she proactively suggested the bungee competition, she must be confident.

"Tell me the other dirt you found as well."

Sun Yao nodded and began cursing Chen Yuqi as if he were his grandson.

When it came to his emotional conduct, Sun Yao especially despised him.

"This Chen Yuqi is truly no good; he likes to use a few small resources to exchange for the bodies of young third‑tier and below actresses, and the recent trend of 'crew couples' in many productions started with him."

"He won't actively provoke women with some standing; unless they approach him, he goes after low‑profile actresses, a willing hitter and a willing victim, letting him carry on such shady dealings unseen to this day, with no one exposing him."

Ye Chenjing frowned upon hearing this, so Chen Yuqi's proactive approach to Lin Meng was because he saw her as merely an amateur, thought she'd be easy to manipulate, and wanted……

Just thinking of Chen Yuqi coveting Lin Meng made Ye Chenjing wish to cut him into a thousand pieces.

After calming down, Ye Chenjing asked again:

"What exactly are 'crew couples'? This circle is so filthy and corrupt."

Sun Yao curled his lips, thinking, "It's not just this circle that's filthy—everywhere is like this."

"Except that General Manager Ye has always kept himself pure; in the wealthy circle he's considered a breath of fresh air, so he naturally doesn't come into contact with those shady dealings in obscure corners."

"'Crew couples' literally means the man and woman agree to act as husband and wife within the production, doing what spouses can do; after the show wraps, they just go their separate ways, pretending nothing happened."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chenjing felt his ears were defiled.

He truly felt contempt, and in his heart felt a wave of nausea.

"Do these people really have no beloved hidden deep inside? How can they bear to let themselves become so filthy?"

"If it were him, even if countless gorgeous women threw themselves at him, he'd only think they wanted to harm him; he'd never let them run wild."

"They dare not dream of tainting the purity of his love for Lin Meng in his heart."

Lin Meng naturally didn't know that, while she was clenching her fists and rubbing her palms in anticipation of bungee jumping, Ye Chenjing, still boarding the plane, had already carried out a massive slaughter in his heart.

"Everyone come over to listen to the bungee jumping safety precautions—you must listen carefully, as this concerns your lives!"

With Li Ping's shout, the atmosphere on site instantly grew tense.

The cliff loomed close, the cold wind howled, giving a feeling of being about to go to one's death.

Lin Meng also felt her heart racing; even using spiritual power to adjust couldn't dispel this nervousness, and her palms soon began to sweat.

Chen Yuqi seemed no better either; his face appeared to have paled somewhat.

After listening to the precautions, copies of the life‑and‑death contract were brought forward.

"Sign this life‑and‑death contract, and we'll all be brave souls who face death without fear!"

Li Ping let out a roar, and several timid girls on site burst into tears right there, repeatedly stepping back to indicate they wanted to withdraw.

Seeing this, Li Ping also couldn't press further; in the end, the number of guests who voluntarily signed the life‑and‑death contract totaled eight.

"Who goes first?"

"The trial jump was about to start; Lin Meng didn't plan to go first, so she looked at Chen Yuqi."

"This kind of thing, you guys should go first, Movie Emperor Chen, what do you think?"

"Chen Yuqi broke out in a sweat from nervousness in the cold wind; hearing that, he was startled inside, his body shaking uncontrollably, which Lin Meng noticed."

"Yo, Movie Emperor Chen, why are you shaking? You're not scared, are you?"

"Chen Yuqi gritted his teeth, what the hell is wrong with this damned woman? Wasn't she supposed to use a roundabout tactic to approach him? How did she actually go all out to mess him up?"

"Chen Yuqi, stubborn as a dead duck, said:"

"Of course I'm not scared; it's just that it's cold on the summit, my muscles are a bit stiff, I need to warm up first."

"Lin Meng nodded, 'Not being scared is good, then it's settled: Chen Yuqi goes first, I'll follow behind him, everyone okay with that?'"

"The guests quickly nodded; this was best—no one wanted to go first, and they still needed to take it slow, do some mental preparation."

"Ye Chenjing grinned at the screen; he was certain Lin Meng was teasing Chen Yuqi, and she must have realized too that Chen Yuqi was just an embroidered pillow."

"This little mischief, truly endearing~"
