After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Shows-Chapter 77: In Reluctance

Isn’t going hunting with Xu Zhao a well-established practice?

Though a bit puzzled, when Xu Zhao reiterated, Jiang Lingxi nodded in response.

This interruption left her conversation with Kai Yuan unfinished.

No matter how curious the audience was about what Jiang Lingxi wanted to say, they were bound to remain unanswered.

In the company lounge.

Tong Yue and Lu Zhengzheng both breathed a sigh of relief and silently thanked Xu Zhao in their hearts.

If Jiang Lingxi actually said she wanted to take a panda cub home, it would undoubtedly be a wave of backlash.

These days, only children dare to say such innocent words. For an adult, it’s not just about lacking self-awareness; it’s about lacking common sense.

Tong Yue took another deep breath, "This girl, she’s either silent or says things that are shocking!"

As her manager, I’m also on edge.

Lu Zhengzheng glanced at Tong Yue cautiously and whispered, "I actually thought Lingxi looked pretty cute when she was serious just now."

Then she got an eye roll.

"When little Xi comes back, you and I will persuade her to take time to continue her studies."

Previously, she wasn’t too concerned about this plan. After all, Jiang Lingxi’s lack of education was known throughout the entertainment industry, black fans and casual fans alike knew.

But now, she thinks it’s better to study more. Perhaps as her manager, it might even help me live a few years longer!

Unaware that her manager had already put the plan to study back on the agenda, Jiang Lingxi was transferring the panda cub in her arms to Kai Yuan.

She was going hunting; she couldn’t possibly bring along such a little burden that would only cause trouble.

Kai Yuan, grinning, reluctantly accepted the panda cub, patting his chest to assure, "Don’t worry, sister Lingxi, I promise the cub won’t lose a single hair with me!"

Jiang Lingxi: "..." She patted off a few panda hairs that the little guy had left on her shoulder as it nuzzled, "No need to make it difficult for yourself."

Jiang Xiyu’s task was still to gather firewood, mainly because she couldn’t do anything else.

Watching Jiang Lingxi and Xu Zhao leave, she glanced again at Kai Yuan, who was in charge of the panda cub, before taking the photographer with her to leave.

She had just left for a little while when Kai Yuan belatedly rubbed the back of his head.

For some reason, he suddenly felt a chill at the back of his head.

Since no other animals could be eaten in this forest, Jiang Lingxi focused on the rabbit holes on the ground.

The snake meat she had eaten yesterday, which had such a large size, was a rare find. Rabbits were easier to catch.

Xu Zhao watched the figure in front of him carefully searching for prey. He could tell that her movements were professional, and she walked silently, avoiding alerting the prey even in the dense underbrush of the forest.

Even for him, he could only achieve the same level.

Forget it, he thought, I’ll talk to her about it on the way back after hunting.

As he made the decision, the figure ahead suddenly paused.

He quickly stopped and signaled the photographer beside him to halt as well.

Immediately, there was no sound of footsteps in the forest, only the sound of the wind blowing through the woods and the sound of animals chewing on leaves.

Xu Zhao twitched his ears and looked in the direction of the sound. As soon as his gaze touched the two rabbits eating on the grass not far away, an arrow pierced through the air, heading straight for them.

Instant penetration!

It was a two-for-one!

His pupils subconsciously contracted rapidly, and his gaze shot like an arrow towards Jiang Lingxi.

This was the first time he saw Jiang Lingxi’s archery!

The accuracy, the decisiveness of the shot, it all left him in awe while also making him wary.

"Two, is that enough to eat?"

As his thoughts returned, Xu Zhao met Jiang Lingxi’s candid gaze. He pondered for a moment, "Let’s keep looking; if we can catch more, even better."

"Alright, this patch of leaves hasn’t been chewed on much; we can move forward a bit."

Xu Zhao glanced down at his feet and nodded in agreement.

—"Even though it’s not the first time I’ve seen Jiang Lingxi shoot, I still want to say, she’s amazing!"

—"I think Brother Xu was obviously stunned just now; he must’ve been shocked by Jiang Lingxi’s shot."

—"By the way, have any period martial arts dramas or movies approached Jiang Lingxi? Although her acting skills aren’t great, with her natural flair, it should be something to look forward to."

—"Same here, I’m looking forward to it!"

Some people saw these similar bullet comments without much thought, but for others, it sparked something within.

Jiang Lingxi and Xu Zhao continued their hunt deeper into the forest, while at the temporary camp, Jiang Xiyu had finished gathering firewood.

After putting down the firewood, she sat and rested for a while, occasionally glancing at Kai Yuan, who was still enthusiastically playing with the panda cub, with eyes full of envy and desire.

Fans watching in the live stream felt a pang of sympathy.

—"It looks like sister really wants to cuddle the cub too!"

—"Even though the cub was found by Jiang Lingxi, national treasures like these belong to everyone. Sister, go ahead and get close to the cub!"

—"Before, the cub was always with Jiang Lingxi, so sister felt shy to touch it. Sister is so gentle; the cub will definitely like her more."

—"I’ve always wanted to say, Jiang Lingxi handles the cub so roughly, even scaring it sometimes. If it were sister, she definitely wouldn’t do that!"

—"Now that Jiang Lingxi isn’t around, I support sister in hugging and cuddling the cub for us."

Jiang Xiyu scooted closer towards Kai Yuan.

Kai Yuan noticed and turned his head.

He met Jiang Xiyu’s gentle, slightly blushing face due to her shyness.

"Um, can I pet the cub? I really like it."

Perhaps because he had been dealing with Jiang Lingxi’s cold, somewhat haughty demeanor, looking at this face, so similar yet so different in expression and aura, felt odd to Kai Yuan.

But since her request was sincere and she only wanted to pet the cub, he couldn’t find a reason to refuse.

"You can pet it, but aside from being clingy with sister Lingxi, the cub is quite aloof with others. Look at me; I’ve been playing with it for so long, and it still barely pays me any attention. Be prepared to be met with indifference."

Jiang Xiyu bit her molars and managed a smile, squeezing out a "Mhm."

Only then did Kai Yuan move aside, revealing the little guy behind him rolling around with an old piece of wood.

Facing its wet eyes, Jiang Xiyu took a deep breath, silently apologized in her mind, and carefully reached out to touch its fluffy back.
