Switched Life:I Went Viral on a Family Variety Show-Chapter 81: Didn’t Treat You as a Girl

There was a loud knock on the door. Sang Ning, still groggy from waking up, asked irritably, "Who is it?"

"It’s me, Director Sun. Hurry and get up. You’ve got ten minutes to pack. We’re catching a flight to the next filming location in ten minutes."

Sang Ning: "..."

The plan was to stay in Yuan Village for 30 days—why didn’t they say earlier they’d be changing locations?

If she had known the crew would pull something like this, she would never have stayed up late tutoring Sang Chuan and Song Shiye.

On the bus, the guests voiced their complaints loudly. Li Sulan, in particular, was furious.

Getting on a plane at dawn disrupted her beauty sleep, and this whole ordeal felt like it aged her a good few years.

Director Sun kept apologizing profusely and barely managed to appease the cranky "old auntie."

Sang Ning, too tired to even argue with Director Sun, immediately shut her eyes on the bus. She needed to seize every potential second of sleep.

At the airport, after passing through security, there were still thirty minutes left before boarding.

The chaos had shaken off most of the guests’ drowsiness, and they sat in the waiting area chatting away.

Meanwhile, Sang Chuan and Song Shiye squatted by the cold metal benches in the gate lounge, continuing to work on their exam questions.

Director Sun had terrible timing; they’d been pulled onto the bus when they were only halfway through their questions.

The two of them figured they could finish the rest while waiting to board, and once on the plane, Sang Ning could explain the mistakes to them. With that, their study goals for the day would be perfectly accomplished.

Seeing Sang Chuan and Song Shiye doing practice problems made Sang Ning’s temples throb. A vague sense of foreboding welled up inside her.

She glanced around and found a spot in their blind spot. Slumping in the chair with her arms crossed, she let her head hang down slightly and tried to squeeze in some sleep.

Sang Ning had barely shut her eyes when she felt a shadow hover above her. Lifting her head slightly, she cracked her eyes open, only to see Shen Yi’s tall, slender figure looming before her.

His hands were casually stuffed into his pockets, and his face was shrouded in light, making it impossible to discern his expression. His tone was indifferent, almost lazy.

"Use this. It’ll block the light so you can sleep better."

[Oh my god, I can’t stand this. Someone chop off Sang Ning’s head—how dare she wear Shen Yi’s precious hat!]

[Fans, let’s be rational here. Obviously your idol gave it to her of his own accord. Who knows, maybe Shen Yi has a crush on the beauty!]

[Impossible. Stop making rumors. Our precious only acted out of friendly concern, that’s all.]

Sang Ning reached up to pinch the brim of the hat, about to take it off and return it. But Shen Yi turned and left before she could, leaving behind only a cool, distant silhouette.

After a short pause, her hand adjusted its grip and pulled the brim down, covering most of her face.

Forget it. From the moment Shen Yi lent her the cap, she was doomed to be roasted by his fans.

If she was going to get scolded anyway, might as well accept his kind gesture.

With no hesitation, Sang Ning closed her eyes again and resumed sleeping.

Meanwhile, Shen Yi, who had already walked away, pretended to fix his hair, letting his hand comb back while casually glancing over his shoulder. Sang Ning was already wearing the hat and fast asleep.

As his hand dropped to his side, the nervous flutter in his chest gradually calmed down.

Thank goodness, Sang Ning didn’t reject him. Maybe this meant she accepted him as a friend.

[I shipped it! That look Shen Yi gave when he turned around—he was definitely sneaking a peek at Sang Ning!]

[If you’re not using your eyes properly, you might as well donate them to someone who needs them. Shen Yi was clearly fixing his hair, and now you’re twisting it into something else? Stop spreading nonsense!]

[Geez, let people ship who they ship. Why do you care?]

It wasn’t until Shen Yi sat back down that a certain gaze—one that had been following him—finally shifted to Sang Ning.

Chu Xi gripped the edge of the chair so tightly her knuckles turned white, her eyes filled with jealousy, frustration, and fury...

Why? Why does it have to be Sang Ning!

"Xixi, are you feeling unwell?" Li Sulan, sitting beside her, noticed Chu Xi’s unusual state and patted her shoulder.

Chu Xi turned her gaze to Li Sulan, her eyes rimmed red, and whispered, in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Mom, it’s nothing. It’s just... it’s just that for the past twenty years, Sang Ning always gets the best of everything, and I... I feel a little upset."

As she spoke, Chu Xi leaned her head against Li Sulan’s shoulder, her tone growing even more pitiful. "Mom, you don’t think I’m overly jealous, do you?"

Li Sulan felt a pang in her chest, her guilt deepening. Stroking Chu Xi’s head, she said firmly, "Xixi, don’t worry. From now on, the only jealousy happening will be Sang Ning envying you."

Nearing boarding time, before the speaker could announce, Sang Chuan found Sang Ning crashing in her corner and stomped hard in front of her, shouting, "Hey!"

Sang Ning’s heart skipped a beat. She snapped her eyes open, nearly scaring the soul out of her thanks to Sang Chuan’s sudden yell. freewёbnoνel.com

She yanked the cap off, her entire aura radiating fury, ready to explode at any moment.

Before Sang Ning could unleash her temper, Sang Chuan immediately adopted a flattering smile and beat her to the punch, saying, "Sis, we finished the questions you assigned. Can you start explaining them to us now?"

The anger flared up inside Sang Ning but was forcefully pressed down again. Never mind. She’d endure this!

Sang Chuan’s enthusiasm for studying had finally ignited—she couldn’t afford to extinguish it now.

"Wait, let me return the hat first."

Sang Ning got up and returned Shen Yi’s cap, making sure to remind him while she handed it over.

"You’re a top celebrity. Items like hats, which are personal belongings, you shouldn’t lend them out so casually. Especially to girls—it might hurt your fans’ feelings."

Shen Yi’s expression showed a trace of confusion. "You’re a girl?"

???

Sang Ning was momentarily rendered speechless. Then Shen Yi spoke again, in a candid tone that couldn’t be any more direct, "I’ve never thought of you as a girl. In my heart, you’re the same as Sang Chuan and Song Shiye—you’re all my bros."

Sang Ning: "..."

[This is like chickens and ducks talking past each other. Sang Ning was clearly hinting at Shen Yi to keep some distance, and this guy... casually calls her one of the bros.]

[Fans, quit freaking out. These two are so unfazed—they only see each other as friends. What’s all this fuss for?]

[True, but still... Shen Yi’s words are way too "straight man." Sang Ning’s such a beautiful girl, and he straight-up says she’s not one.]

Just as Sang Ning was rendered silently exasperated, Sang Chuan suddenly knelt on the chair behind Shen Yi, reached out, and wrapped his arms unexpectedly around Shen Yi’s neck.

When Shen Yi turned around, startled, Sang Chuan leaned over and gave him a big, exaggerated kiss in the air. "Yiyi, I’m so happy to hear your confession—so proud to know I have a place in your heart."

"Let me go!" Shen Yi growled, but Sang Chuan only tightened his grip.

Before Shen Yi could free himself, Song Shiye suddenly jumped out of nowhere and wrapped his arms around Shen Yi from the front, grinning mischievously, "Me too!"
