SM Chapter 77

Chapter 77 Extra 3 (Reality Show 1)

“Director Sheng, for this episode, we’d like to invite you and Teacher Ye as guest couples. Our couple reality show is…”

“We’re not a couple, we’re a married couple. We have a certificate now.” Sheng Mingqian corrected Li Ningfeng on the other side, who was talking non-stop, and touched the wedding ring on his ring finger.

Li Ningfeng is a variety show director from a certain TV station. In recent years, he has produced a series of couple reality shows, which have been very popular. The hottest cp at the moment is Sheng Mingqian and Ye Lai. He has wanted to invite them to the show for a long time, but Sheng Mingqian has refused many times. Before, he refused on the grounds that he was filming and didn’t have time. Recently, Li Ningfeng heard that they were resting, so he came to ask again, unwilling to give up.

After hearing what Sheng Mingqian said, Li Ningfeng’s eyes lit up: “Director Sheng agreed?”

Sheng Mingqian shook his head: “No, I’m just correcting Director Li’s statement. I don’t have a sense of variety.”

Li Ningfeng put his arm on the table and leaned forward: “You just have to sit there, you can say whatever you want, there will just be some game segments in the middle.”

“No scripts. I can’t act, it would be too fake.” Sheng Mingqian said without changing his expression.

The corner of Li Ningfeng’s mouth twitched. Sheng Mingqian was lying through his teeth. They all knew that Sheng Mingqian and Ye Lai had just finished filming a movie, and now he was saying that he couldn’t act.

Who would believe that!

He smiled and said: “There is no script, only some game rules. Apart from the rules, you can do whatever you want.”

Sheng Mingqian: “I haven’t been on a variety show before.”

Li Ningfeng: “The post-production will be edited, and then we’ll give it to you for review before it airs to get your opinions. We just want to show the audience how you and Teacher Ye get along in private… The two guests we originally scheduled for this episode had an accident and can’t come temporarily. Director Sheng, just help out your little brother…”

Li Ningfeng on the other side was very sincere. Sheng Mingqian hesitated for a moment: “I have to go back and discuss it with Ye Lai and ask for his opinion.”

After Ye Lai read the information Li Ningfeng handed over, he found that the theme of this episode was “Desert Island Survival” and found it quite interesting. After reading the information, he tilted his head and lay on Sheng Mingqian’s lap: “Okay, I’ve seen the variety show “Our Three Days and Two Nights”, it’s quite fun. In addition to the two fixed couples, a guest couple is invited every episode.”

Sheng Mingqian lowered his head, kissed Ye Lai on the lips, picked up the hair dryer next to him, and blew Ye Lai’s still wet hair.

The hair dryer buzzed, and Sheng Mingqian raised his voice: “If you want to go, I’ll go.”

Ye Lai had recorded many variety shows before, but when he thought about it, he frowned: “I’m just afraid that they will edit it randomly for the sake of variety show effects and topicality.”

“It’s okay, the director said that we’ll get to see the post-production editing.”

The program was filmed abroad. Although the theme was desert island survival, considering the safety of the guests, they didn’t really find them an uninhabited desert island, but just a private island with a simple environment that hadn’t been over-developed.

The other two fixed couples arrived earlier, and Sheng Mingqian and Ye Lai arrived last.

As soon as they got out of the airport, the staff was waiting outside. Several photographers carried cameras and faced the exit. When they saw them coming out, they ran forward a few steps.

“Director Sheng, Teacher Ye, this way.” The staff waved to them.

Ye Lai had recorded many variety shows, and knew that it had already started when he saw the camera. He smiled, waved his hand, and said hello.

Sheng Mingqian dragged the suitcase. He was originally walking with Ye Lai, but someone rushed out and separated them a little. He fell two steps behind Ye Lai, then quickly caught up and grabbed Ye Lai’s hand, interlocking his fingers with his, so they wouldn’t be separated.

Ye Lai felt Sheng Mingqian’s fingers holding him tightly, turned his head to look at Sheng Mingqian, Sheng Mingqian leaned close to Ye Lai’s ear and whispered, “Holding hands like this should give us a sense of variety. The audience probably wants to see this.”

Now that they were already here, he didn’t want to be said that the two of them were at odds and only pretending.

Ye Lai pursed his lips and smiled. The photographer also recorded the scene of the two of them whispering to each other.

“Director Sheng, Teacher Ye, you must be tired from the trip. Was everything smooth?”

“Smooth.”

“Our car is already parked at the door. The journey is a bit long. We have to take a speedboat to the port. Both teachers will have to work hard.”

“It’s okay, it’s our job.”

The photographer followed them the whole time, and cameras were also installed in the car. Ye Lai adapted quickly.

Sheng Mingqian was always a little uncomfortable. He didn’t let go of Ye Lai’s hand. He said something when others asked him something. He put 20% of his energy on listening to them, and the remaining 80% on playing with Ye Lai’s fingers and the ring on his finger.

The photographer naturally saw Sheng Mingqian’s small actions, and the camera was always pointed at their clasped hands.

Sheng Mingqian felt the camera and deliberately showed the rings on their fingers. Although photos of the two of them wearing rings had already been exposed, he still wanted people to see them.

Anyway, he thought, now that they were here.

After taking a speedboat from the port to the island, the director and staff were already waiting at the landing point.

In order to create a wilderness survival environment, their suitcases, cell phones, and personal belongings would all be confiscated.

Sheng Mingqian didn’t read the process carefully before coming. He packed the suitcase before departure. When he heard that all the things were going to be confiscated, he raised his hand and pressed down on the suitcase.

“Can’t you not confiscate everything? There are our personal belongings inside.”

The staff explained: “Director Sheng, don’t worry, we’re just keeping the things inside for safekeeping. No one will open them or touch them. Our director team will definitely keep them safe. Confiscating things is all for the sake of the show’s effect.”

Sheng Mingqian kept a straight face and thought for two minutes. Just as Ye Lai was about to persuade him, Sheng Mingqian let go, and the two of them took out their cell phones and put them in the sealed bag that the staff handed over.

The staff and the director team were initially worried about Sheng Mingqian, but they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw how cooperative he was.

“Director Sheng, Teacher Ye, please rest for a while and wander around. Just call us if you need anything. We’ll take you to the resting place in a few minutes and introduce you to the other two groups of guests. You’ve been on the plane for so long, we’ll record a fixed tacit understanding question and answer session later, and today’s itinerary will be over. Tomorrow morning, the three-day and two-night recording will officially begin.”

The photographer will not follow them all the time during the break, as long as there is enough footage for post-production editing.

Without the photographer following them, Ye Lai pulled Sheng Mingqian a little further away and quietly poked Sheng Mingqian: “What did you put in the suitcase?”

“Massage oil.”

Ye Lai’s face turned red: “Why did you bring that kind of thing?”

Sheng Mingqian raised his eyebrows: “Lai Lai, what are you thinking about? The massage oil is for massaging your cervical spine. Haven’t you been complaining about cervical spine pain lately?”

Ye Lai: “…”

His neck would occasionally hurt recently, and Sheng Mingqian would often massage him. He would use massage essential oils when massaging, and that was after Sheng Mingqian personally tried massage oils from many brands and chose the best one.

“Oh… I thought…”

Ye Lai didn’t finish speaking, and Sheng Mingqian continued without changing his expression: “That oil is plant-extracted, very safe. It can be used externally for massage, or as a lubricant…”

“Sheng Mingqian…” Ye Lai roared at him in a suppressed voice.

“I also brought a set, in the interlayer.” Sheng Mingqian said.

“We’re here to record a show.” Ye Lai’s face suddenly turned red, and he turned his head to look at the director team and the photographer. They were gathered together smoking, not looking at them.

“The information said that there would be no recording after the lights are turned off, and besides, aren’t we going to play for two more days after we finish recording the show?” Sheng Mingqian replied as a matter of course, and listed Ye Lai’s neglect of him during this time.

“Yesterday we were on the plane, there was no chance.”

“The day before yesterday, we went to the orphanage to show a movie to Xiao Yu and the others. You fell asleep on the way back, and I couldn’t bear to wake you up.”

“The day before the day before yesterday… we went to a banquet together. Before we left, you only wore a pair of underwear, and you changed five or six sets of clothes in front of me, taking them off and putting them on, putting them on and taking them off, waving them in front of my eyes, only letting me see, not letting me touch.”

“The day before the day before the day before yesterday, in my office, before we even started, someone knocked on the door.”

“The day before the day before the day before the day before yesterday, you went out to dinner with Zhang Yihao, got drunk, and dragged me to sing for half the night after you came back. I took off your clothes for you, and you sang “Tears of a Dancing Girl” with such passion that you clenched your collar and kicked me away, with tears in your eyes, saying that you only sell your art, not your body, and told me not to have any improper thoughts about you.”

“Stop, stop, stop…” Ye Lai was sweating profusely and interrupted him in a rough voice.

The afternoon sun shone on Ye Lai’s face, and Ye Lai’s cheeks were redder than the red-glowing sun, red to the roots of his neck, breathing more out than in. “Why do you remember these things for no reason?”

“I didn’t deliberately remember them, I just can’t stop once I start talking about them.” Sheng Mingqian’s tone was aggrieved.

The staff took two bottles of mineral water and ran over to hand them to them: “Director Sheng, Teacher Ye, have some water.”

Sheng Mingqian became serious in a second, took the water, and thanked them.

“Teacher Ye, why is your face so red? Is it too hot? It shouldn’t be, the temperature is only in the twenties now.”

Ye Lai chuckled dryly, glanced at the culprit beside him, and casually said that it was because of the sun, brushing it off.

Sheng Mingqian let go of Ye Lai’s hand, unscrewed the bottle cap and handed the water to him first. Ye Lai, because his face was hot, raised his head and drank most of the bottle. Sheng Mingqian took the bottle from his hand, raised his head and finished the remaining water.

The photographer next to him had already keenly noticed the intimate state here and captured the scene of the two of them drinking from the same bottle.

Sheng Mingqian put his arm around Ye Lai, and the photographer picked up the camera again.

“Director Sheng, Teacher Ye, let’s record the opening remarks of the program first.”

Ye Lai glanced at Sheng Mingqian, afraid that he wouldn’t cooperate. The two of them recited the opening remarks like a slogan at the same time, which sounded a bit awkward and a bit stupid, but Sheng Mingqian’s expression was normal, and he looked at him as if he was looking forward to it?

Finally, the two of them opened their mouths together and recited the program team’s opening remarks.

“Our three days and two nights, give you a different surprise…”
