The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite

Chapter 171 - 171 154 Have You Thought It Through No Backing

?Chapter 171: Chapter 154: Have You Thought It Through? No Backing Out Chapter 171: Chapter 154: Have You Thought It Through? No Backing Out Shen Jinghe was also freaking out inside.

After all, this was the first time he had ever seen such a huge brown bear in the wild!

In the past, when visiting the zoo, either the bears were locked behind iron bars, or the visitors were secured within caged vehicles.

However, on the surface, Shen Jinghe managed to appear very calm.

“This bear might have been stimulated by something that forced it to interrupt hibernation, otherwise what do you think the production team gave us bear-repelling horns for?”

Since ‘cohabiting,’ the two brothers had gradually broken the silence.

Although they still spoke to each other sharply, it was already much better than before.

Considering their improvement, the audience in the live streaming room, who had been used to their past poor relationship, was quite satisfied with them now.

And those few fans who started squabbles would be suppressed.

And the one suppressing the spats between the fans of Shen Jinghe and Shen Jingchuan was none other than Su Yang, who stayed vigilant in front of the children’s live streams every day.

Originally, Su Yang had tuned into the second season of this show just for Wenyan.

Because before the show started filming, she had heard from Wenyan that the youngest, Jingchuan, would not be participating.

But who knew that on the day, not only did Su Yang see her youngest son, Shen Jingchuan, in the production team’s live stream!

She then saw her second son, Shen Jinghe!!!

Even more dramatically, after a series of struggles, her two sons, who had been at odds for over a decade, were actually assigned to the same group!

This was something she never dreamed of! These two stubborn mules, who could never get along, were now ‘willingly’ spending thirty days in each other’s constant company because of a show!

She simply pushed back all the work at her studio by a month and spent days and nights watching over the live stream.

She used a new phone number to create an alternate account, clashing with anyone who spoke badly of her sons and daughter.

After several days of this, Su Yang, a fifty-year-old auntie, realized that she just couldn’t keep up anymore, so she simply bought a plane ticket and flew to the N Country where her children were.

Consequently, the time was synchronized, and following the live stream became much easier and more enjoyable.

She was truly happy, because she could see that her second and youngest sons didn’t actually hate each other—it was just their gruff exteriors hiding soft hearts.

This program was a great opportunity for the two brothers to reconcile!

Su Yang didn’t play favorites, keeping both devices on 24/7, one for her son and the other for her daughter.

In Wenyan’s live stream, she used another alternate account with the nickname ‘Yanyan’s Little Treasure.’

In fact, just three days after the live stream started, ‘Yanyan’s Little Treasure’ became famous in Wenyan’s stream.

The reason for fame: extravagance.

As long as there were close-up shots of Wenyan, Su Yang would use the alternate account to shower Wenyan with crowns.

The crown is a rather expensive gift on this live streaming platform. When given, the crown would automatically ‘adorn’ the head of the host on camera.

Su Yang thought that among all props, only the crown was the most beautiful and fitting for her Yanyan, so as soon as she saw Wenyan’s close-up on screen, she would start giving non-stop.

However, as the temperature on the snow mountain dropped, even the most stable group that Wenyan and Jiang Wanwan were in began to have problems.

That was, the snow was too thick. Gradually, it became impossible for them to even leave their shelter.

Even if they warmed themselves by the fire as soon as they got indoors, both of them still got frostbite on their feet.

Not to mention venturing out from the camp to forage for food, they had to start consuming their previously saved provisions.

But such a one-way consumption of resources was unsustainable in the long run.

If things were this hard for them, Jing Hao and the Shen duo must have had an even harder time.

Following Shen Jingchuan and Shen Jinghe’s daytime bear sighting, their camp was visited by a bear even at night.

On the morning of the second day, the two brothers looked at the messy bear paw prints outside their cabin and simultaneously came to the same conclusion.

That was, they needed to move, they could no longer stay here.

After several days of consideration, Jing Hao finally made a call to the show crew.

When they received his call, the crew was not too surprised.

“So, you’re planning to quit?”

Jing Hao’s response was negative, “No, I’m not quitting. Don’t forget, during the draw, I got a white ball, and I still have a prop card in my hand. I want to exercise my right.”

“What is your prop card?”

“Exchange campsite.”

“Are you sure you want to use your ‘Exchange Campsite’ prop card now?”

Jing Hao didn’t want to make this choice either, but he had no other option.

“Yes, I’m sure.”

“Then please wait at your current location, we’ll send someone over immediately.”

After ending the conversation with the show crew, Jing Hao began talking to himself, or perhaps he was speaking to the audience.

“I know I’m being a bit selfish by doing this, because the resources here are really poor, and I’m all alone. If Xu He were still here, I think I might not use this prop card until the end.

“I can show you, the note says the exchange is random. Honestly, I don’t know whom I’ll exchange with, but no matter who it is, I figure they can’t be worse off than my group.”

Danmu: ‘What can I say, if you are switched with a group that has great resources, they would be quite upset. But I actually think that’s what’s real about this program, people are just like that.’

‘Yeah, it’s an option provided by the show crew, and since it exists, whatever choice you make is within the rules.’

‘Heh, you fans can even sugarcoat someone being selfish and self-serving. Even if it’s part of the show’s rules, the crew didn’t say the prop card must be used. He could have chosen not to.’

‘Shen Jinghe also has a prop card, and despite the condition he and Alex are in, I see he hasn’t used his prop card either.’

‘Speechless, just because he hasn’t used it now doesn’t mean he won’t use it later. Maybe he’s planning to make a big move on the last day!’

‘Exactly. Wenyan used the exchange teammate prop card at the beginning, why don’t I see you guys calling her selfish? Didn’t she also swap a teammate someone else chose? What if the original pair was forcibly split up by her?’

“…Um, your argument is flawed; I suspect you’re a fake fan. It’s like you watched the show but also as if you didn’t. Shen Jinghe and Jiang Wanwan just met for the first time, what do you mean ‘forcibly split up by Wenyan,’ I’m done with this.”

In the midst of the bickering in the danmu, Jing Hao began to tidy up the things in the house.

Soon, the show crew arrived.

“You know your exchange is random, right? You can’t choose.”

Jing Hao nodded, “I know.”

“Okay, we brought the props when we came. Here are the numbers of the other three groups, whichever group you draw is the one you’ll exchange with, no backsies. Have you thought it through?”

“Yeah, I’ve thought it through.”

Jing Hao chose a small piece of paper from the director’s palm based on his first instinct.

Upon opening it, he saw it was number 2.

“You have drawn group number two, Alex and Shen Jinghe’s group.”

“Okay.”

–

Just as Shen Jingchuan and Shen Jinghe, who were packing up to move, heard the sound of a helicopter overhead.

Both brows furrowed simultaneously; could it mean someone else had quit or had to leave because of health reasons?

But soon, the brothers realized that the helicopter was actually landing next to their campsite.
