Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle

Chapter 77 - 77 77 Real or Fake

?Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Real or Fake? Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Real or Fake? Before long, the three of them arrived at the riverbank and began to wash up separately.

After cleaning up, Luo Ning only patted some homemade toner on her face; she hadn’t brought a makeup bag. To put on makeup in this kind of jungle survival situation would be inviting discomfort.

On the way back, Luo Ning found a blind spot from the cameras and handed Ji Xinghang a talisman, “This is a Calming Talisman. Keep it on you, and you shouldn’t hear that voice anymore.”

Ji Xinghang quickly took it and carefully tucked it into his pocket, “Mm, thank you, Ningning.”

Luo Ning glanced at Ji Xinghang, who had become polite and considerate. If this guy had been like this sooner, they wouldn’t have been at this point.

“Just be more self-aware,” she muttered under her breath and moved a few steps away from him.

Ji Xinghang was delighted inwardly, for Ningning still cared about him. He covered his microphone, “Mm, I won’t be influenced by her anymore.”

The live broadcast didn’t capture their actions, but Lu Xun did.

Seeing Luo Ning give Ji Xinghang a talisman and then distance herself, his deep eyes crinkled with a smile.

After the three returned, the rest of the people gradually woke up.

Luo Ning’s bird eggs were also cooked, and there were enough for everyone on her team, while people from the other teams could only look on with envy.

The trainees were full of envy towards Luo Zeyu and the others, “Following Teacher Luo, you guys are really lucky.”

From the last episode to this one, not only did Luo Zeyu and the others’ popularity and fame continuously rise, but their experiences were also more comfortable than theirs.

Initially, how could they have thought that anyone who teamed up with Teacher Luo would be unlucky? These guys were clearly on a winning streak without even trying.

Luo Zeyu and his companions couldn’t conceal their smug smiles, “Of course, our Teacher Luo is the best.”

The others went to wash up in batches, and then many of them started applying makeup away from the cameras.

Han Chi and Fu Yunbing were somewhat speechless at this sight. They knew the makeup would definitely be ruined by the end of the day, but they didn’t say much.

Once everyone was ready, the two team leaders continued leading the group deeper into the forest.

Along the way, they encountered pythons and leopards, but both were dealt with by the team leaders. Still, many of the celebrities and trainees were taken aback.

After walking for over an hour, Luo Ning noticed that Su Qinglan’s complexion was getting paler, and she seemed in particularly bad shape.

She walked over to support Su Qinglan and whispered, “Did ‘it’ start for you?”

Su Qinglan nodded at Luo Ning, “Mm, it suddenly came this morning.”

“Stomach pain?” Luo Ning could tell what the issue was and took her backpack, “I’ll carry this for you.”

Touched by Luo Ning’s words and seeing her take her backpack to carry, Su Qinglan felt a warmth in her heart, and her eyes reddened, “Mm, my stomach always hurts on the first day.”

She really just wanted to lie down and rest somewhere, but she didn’t want to slow everyone else down, and besides, she would definitely be criticized by netizens for being fussy since this was being broadcast live.

So she kept pushing on, but she felt increasingly wronged and miserable. She hadn’t expected Luo Ning to notice so attentively.

Luo Ning thought for a moment and said, “I’ll pick some herbs later and boil them for you to drink; you’ll feel much better.”

“For now, let me help you walk.” She always had a particular concern for her female companions.

“Okay!” Su Qinglan felt warmed again and didn’t refuse Luo Ning’s kindness; she was indeed close to breaking point.

For the rest of the journey, Luo Ning not only carried Su Qinglan’s pack but also helped her walk.

Initially, everyone was a bit puzzled, but during a rest, when they saw Luo Ning boiling herbs for Su Qinglan to drink, they learned about her stomach pain.

Everyone’s impression of Luo Ning improved even further. No one else would really pay attention to this kind of thing.

Bo Xiangxiang curled her lips, thinking Luo Ning really knew how to put on a show for the live broadcast.

Viewers of the live stream, including trolls and haters, shared the same thought.

“Luo Ning’s showmanship is quite convincing.”

“She’s so deliberately kind to Su Qinglan; who doesn’t see this is for the audience?”

“So she’s intentionally currying favor? I knew she couldn’t be that kind-hearted.”

“Are you sick upstairs? What’s wrong with Luo Ning helping Su Qinglan if she’s uncomfortable? Does that count as showboating?”

“Exactly, if Luo Ning were really putting on an act, why would she bother carrying Su Qinglan’s backpack for over two hours? Didn’t you see how everyone else was just worn out carrying their own?”

“My Ningbao not only carried Su Qinglan’s bag for more than two hours but also supported her along the way. Does showboating require such commitment?”

“Without you mentioning it, I wouldn’t have noticed how considerate and attentive Luo Ning is. Bo Xiangxiang, who is also an actress, didn’t notice or offer any help.”

“All Bo Xiangxiang did was ask Ji Xinghang if he wanted water or try to get close to God Lu, completely ignoring the other female stars.”

“There’s no harm without comparison, Luo Ning’s character is genuinely good. Who was it that said she liked to act diva? I want to smack them.”

“Luo Ning is so warm-hearted; I’m a Ning Fan from today on.”

Undoubtedly, even though Luo Ning had not intended to garner viewer sympathy through her care for Su Qinglan, she inadvertently reaped a windfall.

At noon, Han Chi and the others caught a few wild rabbits and gathered some edible wild vegetables and fruits, making a simple meal for everyone.

Luo Ning did not offer to help, as she wanted other guests and students to get more airtime; she wasn’t one to hog the limelight.

The rabbit and wild vegetables cooked by the students didn’t taste particularly good. Many people just nibbled a few bites before turning to the dry food in their backpacks.

Luo Ning wasn’t picky and ate quite a bit despite the poor taste, and told Lu Xun and the team, “Try to eat as much as you can.”

Lu Xun wasn’t one to fuss either and ate quite a bit sitting next to her.

Although the students found the food unappealing, seeing this, they tried to eat more as well.

After listening to Luo Ning, Ji Xinghang also put back the last bag of compressed biscuits he was about to eat and frowned as he ate quite a bit.

The more he did this, the more he missed the delicious food Luo Ning used to cook.

After eating, everyone continued on their way.

Su Qinglan’s complexion had improved a lot. She thanked Luo Ning, “The medicine you cooked worked really well; my stomach doesn’t hurt anymore, and I feel stronger.”

She was surprised at how effective the medicine was.

Luo Ning continued to support her, “No need to be polite; we’re all girls here, it’s right for us to look after each other.”

The friendship between the two women quickly warmed up, and as Su Qinglan felt better, she chatted with Luo Ning as they walked.

About an hour later, Luo Ning suddenly looked up at the sky and said to Han Chi and the others, “It’s going to rain soon, should we find a place to take shelter first?”

Han Chi and Fu Yunbing were taken aback, looking up at the clear blue sky which didn’t seem like it would rain.

However, it often rains in the tropical rainforest, and they usually can’t predict when.

Han Chi asked, “You can tell? Do you know how long until it starts?”

Luo Ning nodded, “About an hour or so. I think this rain will last a while; we better prepare early.”

The people around her looked at her with a mix of skepticism and belief. Could she really predict that? Is it real or not?
