After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Shows-Chapter 8: On Beginning to Be a Person, She Never Lost to Anyone

Chapter 8 - 8: On Beginning to Be a Person, She Never Lost to Anyone

Jiang Lingxi looked at the small mountain villa in front of her.

It was already evening, the setting sun slanting over, adding a few warm tones to the wooden-colored mountain villa, making it feel especially cozy.

However, the atmosphere inside the villa was particularly eerie at the moment.

Today, she first took a plane, then a high-speed train, and finally transferred to a car, experiencing almost all the mainstream transportation methods of this era in one go.

She was indeed a bit tired, but she could still manage.

"I'm sorry, I'm late."

There were a total of five guests, and there were only four standing in the living room, making it obvious that she was the last to arrive.

The youngest of the five guests, Jiang Kaiyuan, who was also the only boy present, had initially said he wouldn't speak to Jiang Lingxi but just now had unconsciously greeted her. He awkwardly pulled at the corners of his mouth, "No, not too late."

After speaking, he wished he could slap himself.

Why didn't you listen!

The other three remained silent, Jiang Lingxi looked over at them one by one, nodding in acknowledgment.

It was expected that they were unwilling to pay attention to her, but she couldn't respond with coldness.

Otherwise, the next few days would be unlivable!

Then, she turned her head to look at the backstage staff who ran in with a worried expression, as if fearing a conflict upon their meeting. She smiled and asked, "Hello, is my room still the original one?"

"Ah, yes." The staff member nodded instinctively, her head spinning from the beauty overload. By the time she came to her senses, she saw the person had already walked forward.

The countryside villa was only one floor, with three bedrooms facing south and two facing north. When the program first started recording, Jiang Kaiyuan, being the only boy, first chose a north-facing bedroom. The other four girls didn't want to stay in the other north-facing room, but superficially, they had to act graciously.

However, the original Jiang Lingxi didn't understand such subtleties and directly chose the only south-facing room with a private bathroom and balcony while others were still pretending to be polite.

Seeing her move in her luggage, the other three's murderous looks were barely hidden.

There was no need to argue then, and later the older actress She Man and veteran singer Xu Yin moved into the other two south-facing bedrooms, while the second youngest, actress Lin Xuefei, moved into the other north-facing bedroom.

Although filming started anew this time, they couldn't suggest redistributing the bedrooms; that intention would be too obvious. They had to stick with the original arrangement.

At this moment, they could only watch Jiang Lingxi take her assistant into the largest bedroom.

On the road by car, passing through many residences, Jiang Lingxi gained a new understanding of people's living quarters now.

Only then did she realize that, compared to others, her residence was considered large, like her little assistant, Lu Zhengzheng, who still rented and lived in a place that wasn't even as big as her bedroom, divided into two levels to save space.

When she was scrolling on her phone, she saw the layout called LOFT, where tall people had to bend to walk inside. Just imagining it felt oppressive.

Now, seeing the bedroom she was to live in for the next three days, although the facilities were simple, the space was at least spacious, and she nodded in satisfaction.

As soon as Lu Zhengzheng came in, she opened the suitcase to start organizing, and Jiang Lingxi, not disturbing her, took a turn in the room and then went out.

Back in the living room, she saw Tong Yue giving gifts one by one.

She finally understood why her manager brought such a big bag this time!

"Dear teachers, my Xiaoxi's past willful actions caused trouble for everyone. She has learned her lesson, and I'm here to apologize on her behalf. It's just a small token of my regard. Please accept it."

Seeing Tong Yue's sincere tone, the gifts were different for each person, looking like they were carefully selected according to the recipient. As they say, you don't hit a smiling face, and since she's also a manager with some reputation in the industry, there's the possibility of future interactions, so the four guests also politely accepted them.

Then they turned to see Jiang Lingxi approaching, and a thought flashed through their minds: This manager is much better at dealing with things than Jiang Lingxi!

Watching her come over, Lin Xuefei couldn't help but frown.

Although she was the second youngest guest, she was only a few months younger than Jiang Lingxi.

She and Jiang Lingxi were similar in age and status in the industry.

Actress She Man and singer Xu Yin each had a large fan base in their fields, their positions solid, and came to this show just to help out due to their connections with the director.

Jiang Kaiyuan was an e-sports player transitioning into entertainment, supposedly coming to the show just for fun.

Those who needed to increase their exposure and popularity were just her and Jiang Lingxi.

She was self-aware in terms of looks; some people were just born with a naturally advantaged face.

Fortunately, some had the face, but their intelligence was taken back, proving that even Heaven is fair.

Since her looks couldn't compete, she won with a lovable character.

And facts proved her right; during the previous recording, She Man and Xu Yin clearly favored her, and Jiang Kaiyuan occasionally called her sister.

In contrast, regarding Jiang Lingxi, who seemed brainless in everything, the three privately were close to showing their annoyance openly.

But at this moment, watching Jiang Lingxi with a bandage stuck on her forehead, Lin Xuefei suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of crisis.

Soon, this sense of crisis became reality.

Jiang Lingxi walked to stand beside the smiling Tong Yue, her gaze neither shying away nor exhibiting the previous 'I'm the most noble, you're all commoners' look. The bandage on her forehead and the slight fatigue in the corner of her eye softened hearts surprisingly, her tone and gaze equally sincere, "Although Sister Tong already apologized for me, I still think it's necessary to personally apologize to all of you."

"My willfulness took up your precious time, and I am truly sorry. If there's ever a chance to make up for it, I will do my best."

As her words fell, the living room fell into silence.

Even Tong Yue's pupils dilated incredulously, let alone the four across from her, who were far beyond simply stunned, losing all facial expressions.

Jiang Kaiyuan couldn't help blurting out his inner thoughts clumsily, "You, you're not Jiang Lingxi's identical twin sister here to record the show in her place, are you?"

Jiang Lingxi slightly raised her brows and nodded towards him, "If you find it easier to accept by thinking that way, then you can consider me as such."

Jiang Kaiyuan couldn't help but squeeze the gift-wrapped mechanical keyboard in his hand, speaking again with some stutter, "The, the main thing is your change is just too big."

It's like a completely different person!

Jiang Lingxi remained calm, softly sighing, "I've been through a life-and-death trial; how could I dare to be willful anymore?"

With her reminder, Jiang Kaiyuan suddenly recalled that thrilling accident from a few days ago, "Well, that's true."

Lin Xuefei silently glanced at him.

Young man, shouldn't you also reflect a bit?

Do you remember the words you left behind before she even arrived?
