Chapter 20 -20: What is She Trying to Do?
The director’s team didn’t feel awkward but instead thought today was full of sensational moments.
Indeed, the comments exploded once again.
“Star baby approached Luo Ning out of pity and suggested they team up, but she’s really tactless.”
“Isn’t she trying to play hard to get?”
“What rights does a vase have to refuse Star baby?”
Contrary to the anger of Star Fan, Ning Fans were particularly excited.
“My Ningbao is never pitiful and surely doesn’t need your leader’s team invitation, thanks but no thanks!”
“Really, are you blind? Can’t you see our Ningbao can’t wait to stay away from your leader? Stop trying to polish your own and your leader’s reputations.”
“Tsk, previously you said Ningbao was clinging to someone for hype, I think it should be the other way around.”
“Face-slap moment right there, so some fans better stop barking that our Ningbao wants to ride on your leader’s popularity, she’s not interested.”
“Ningbao did great.”
Fans from both sides tore into each other, while other fans and bystanders, confused, went online to get informed.
They then realized that Luo Ning had recently been severely bashed by Star Fan, and couldn’t help feeling sympathetic towards her.
It was they who didn’t want Luo Ning to ride on Ji Xinghang’s popularity, and now when she listened to them and kept her distance, they still blamed her—how sick is that?
“Although I think Luo Ning did nothing wrong, Ji Xinghang is after all a top star; rejecting him publicly might make it difficult for others to offend him and team up with her, right?”
In such cases, isn’t it like slapping Ji Xinghang’s face?
Ning Fans also couldn’t help but worry. To not ruin their reputation with the general public, they refrained from blasting Ji Xinghang in the comments; that guy is truly annoying, always causing trouble for their Ningbao.
Star Fan and Black rejoiced in the potential disaster, wondering how she’d manage if no one teamed up with Luo Ning.
Just then, Lu Xun walked over to Luo Ning, looked at her with a smile, and asked, “If you don’t mind, shall we team up?”
This was clearly a lifeline thrown to Luo Ning.
Luo Ning was also surprised that Lu Xun would step out. She had already prepared herself to go solo if no one teamed up with her.
She nodded and smiled, “It’s my honor to team up with Mr. Lu.”
“Then I wish us a pleasant collaboration!” Lu Xun reached out his hand proactively.
Seeing this, Luo Ning reached out and shook his hand, “Pleasant collaboration!”
“Ah, my idol is so warm!”
“Truly my idol.”
“I’m in love with the idol, so daring and warm.”
However, Black and trolls ran out to stir things up.
“Luo Ning claimed she wouldn’t ride on anyone’s popularity, huh? So she was refusing Ji Xinghang to latch onto Lu’s fame instead!”
“This scheming is incomparable; no wonder she challenged Ji Xinghang, she had a new target, and Lu indeed has the highest status here.”
“With Luo Huaping’s reputation and hearing she’s good for nothing, I really fear she’ll drag Lu down.”
“Luo Huaping, please leave Lu alone.”
“Taking our Ningbao away, we’re not mixing in; you keep your negativity, the innocent need no defense.”
At this moment Ning Fans didn’t jump out to counterattack, as it involved Lu Xun, a top idol. If it provoked his fanbase, it wouldn’t be good for their Ningbao and would also ruin their reputation with laypeople.
Lu Xun is known in the entertainment circle as a fresh breeze, rarely hyped or involved in activities, without scandals, and even paparazzi couldn’t find dirt on him, so there aren’t many Black fans, and his loyal fans are quite rational.
“Stop trying to shift the narrative; it was clearly our idol who took the initiative to warmly support Luo Ning. In your narrative, it’s twisted into Luo Ning trying to gain popularity—we’re not blind.”
If Luo Ning had actively approached their idol trying to climb up and gain popularity, they would definitely be upset, but she hadn’t.
“They just want to incite fights, we won’t be fooled.”
“These Star Fan and Black are so annoying; can they stop trying to hog the spotlight? It’s revolting.”
“We’ll also take our idol away, do whatever you want.”
Ning Fans cleverly didn’t argue, and Lu’s fans didn’t take the bait and insult Luo Ning anymore—Black and the click farms had no choice but to quiet down.
In the small farmyard, Luo Ning and Lu Xun had successfully formed a team.
Bo Xiangxiang was furious—this development was nothing like what she had imagined.
When she heard the director say they were going to split into groups, she had wanted to pull Ji Xinghang and Lu Xun into one team.
But who knew that both of them would actually take the initiative to team up with Luo Ning? What did that woman have that she didn’t?
Especially Lu Xun taking the initiative to help Luo Ning out and then teaming up with her—she felt even more sour inside.
She looked up to see Ji Xinghang’s expression being ambiguous, his attention seemingly always on Luo Ning, sparking a sense of crisis in her.
Especially when she thought of the words she and Luo Ning had shared at noon, she absolutely couldn’t lose.
Since Lu Xun had already successfully teamed up with Luo Ning, she had to seize Ji Xinghang.
So she said to Ji Xinghang with a smile, “Teacher Ji, how about I team up with you?”
Ji Xinghang instinctively wanted to decline, but inexplicably felt he shouldn’t do so, thus ended up nodding, “Okay!”
This also unconsciously made him frown.
[Xiangxiang is really an angel.]
[Xiangxiang is so warm-hearted too!]
[I hope Ji Xinghang will treat our Xiangxiang well in the time to come.]
Star Fan, due to Bo Xiangxiang’s gesture, didn’t hold any hostility towards her; in their view, the two weren’t very close; she probably wasn’t coveting their brother.
Luo Ning wasn’t surprised by Bo Xiangxiang’s choice at all—looks like the stimulus from noon had worked well.
Wei Yao, seeing the two had each successfully formed a team, also breathed a sigh of relief; otherwise, if they found it awkward, it would be awkward for them.
After all, Ji Xinghang could afford to be capricious and create such an awkward atmosphere without much impact, but they couldn’t.
Thus he said to Chai Jing with a smile, “How about we two middle-aged guys team up, give Tong Jia a chance to show off in front of the beauties?”
Chai Jing nodded with a smile, “I’m always eighteen, not a middle-aged man, but forming a team is fine.”
Tong Jia also knew this was better, so he moved close to Su Qinglan, “Now it all depends on whether Miss Su will give me the chance.”
Su Qinglan naturally wouldn’t refuse, “Okay, I’ll be relying on Teacher Tong to take care of me after this.”
Teams were successfully formed, and everyone was ready to start their respective tasks.
Then the director added, “Oh, I forgot to tell you earlier; after you’ve successfully formed your groups, the ingredients you collect have to be cooked by yourselves tonight, you can’t ask anyone else for help.”
“What? Why didn’t you say that earlier?”
“You’re too sneaky, Director, you should have told us earlier, then we all would have teamed up with Luo Ning.”
“They did that on purpose, that’s so mean.”
“It turns out Mr. Lu had the foresight!”

Tong Jia and the others also cursed the directing team in their hearts for being unethical and setting them up like this.
Lu Xun laughed meaningfully, “Don’t worry, I won’t let the pearls get dusty, I will definitely collect more ingredients to let Luo Ning shine.”
“Mr. Lu has been corrupted by the production team too.”
“I’m stirred up now, is there still time to ask for a switch in teams?” Tong Jia asked the director.
The director decisively refused, “It’s too late now, you can’t switch teams. Hurry up and collect the ingredients; a meal that isn’t tasty is still better than being hungry.”
Tong Jia and the others had no choice but to resign themselves to fate; they greeted and went out in pairs since the evening would be miserable, they might as well perform well now.
In the yard, only Luo Ning and Lu Xun were left.
Luo Ning scanned around the small farmyard, noticing a pile of dry straw in the corner, she said to Lu Xun, “Mr. Lu, could you wait a little bit before we go out to find ingredients?”
Lu Xun didn’t know what she was planning to do, but didn’t refuse, “Okay.”
The audience was somewhat puzzled and confused—Luo Ning wasn’t hurrying up with her teammate to collect ingredients, but instead was delaying in the yard. What would they eat for dinner if the other teams collected all the ingredients?
What was she up to?
