Switched Life:I Went Viral on a Family Variety Show-Chapter 108: Go Back to Him for Answers

"I wasn’t sure at first." Sang Ning smiled thoughtfully, then continued, "But you kept secretly staring at us."

The other staff glanced at us when we walked in, curious but only for a moment before they continued working on their tasks.

You’re different. From the moment I walked over, you were discreetly sizing me up, your eyes never leaving me. It felt like you’d been waiting here for me for ages."

Qian Yang was momentarily speechless, unwilling to let it go. He quipped, "Could it just be because you’re so beautiful that I couldn’t take my eyes off you?"

Sang Ning replied without hesitation, "I trust that Mr. Qian isn’t that superficial."

Qian Yang: "..."

Fine. Turns out he lost because he wasn’t calm enough. If he’d known earlier, he wouldn’t have secretly stared at Sang Ning.

He’d been proud of himself, believing Sang Ning couldn’t possibly spot him. Little did he know, he had already become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered in her eyes.

[Wow, I really admire Sang Ning! Her analysis is so logical and thorough—totally unlike Chu Xi’s overly forced reasoning.]

[Sang Ning’s knowledge base is truly impressive, far exceeding my expectations. She’s practically a walking encyclopedia.]

Qian Yang finally stopped pretending and confidently extended a hand to Sang Ning. "Hello everyone, I’m Qian Yang, a researcher at Zijin Research Institute. I’m honored to be the mystery guest for this week’s episode."

Sang Ning shook the hand he offered and smiled lightly, "Hello, I’m Sang Ning."

At the foot of the mountain.

"Sang Ning has successfully located the mystery guest Qian Yang. The task of finding the guest is complete! Congratulations to Sang Ning for earning a mystery prop card and a deluxe lunch!" the loudspeaker announced.

Mr. Shen excitedly slapped his thigh in frustration and said, "Turns out the clue was hidden in a tail poem! ’A pool of spring water ripples for Qian, the lotus drops in Huang Ziyang’s mountain,’ it actually hinted at the guest’s name!"

"Ah—" Mr. Shen slapped his head, letting out another regretful sigh.

"I was so close, just a hair’s breadth away from figuring it out."

Mr. Shen’s casual remark unwittingly stirred deep emotions in Chu Xi’s heart.

Chu Xi bit her lip tightly, her pale face flushing faintly.

Was Mr. Shen blaming her?

Her heart grew even heavier with resentment towards Sang Ning. Why did Sang Ning always seem intent on humiliating her?

...

The task was over, and Sang Ning successfully obtained the key.

Since the program group had woken the guests up early in the morning to rush here, Director Sun had thoughtfully allocated a free activity period for the afternoon to ensure their health before official filming resumed tomorrow.

The mountain view rooms and the wooden cabins were located halfway up the mountain, so the guests who had already reached the summit had to head back down the same way.

On their way down, they happened to run into Mr. Shen and Chu Xi.

Chu Xi looked visibly upset and dispirited, as if she’d lost her soul.

She had truly embarrassed herself today. After dragging Mr. Shen around on a bumpy journey, Sang Ning had managed to beat her to the punch.

Even upon seeing Li Sulan, she wasn’t her usual spirited self and couldn’t even muster a forced smile.

Li Sulan, noticing Chu Xi’s melancholic expression, felt deeply for her. Just as she was about to step forward and comfort her, Shen Yi beat her to it. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Li Sulan quickly retreated. Chu Xi had always liked Shen Yi, so perhaps it would work better if Shen Yi were to console her.

"Chu Xi." A gentle voice called out.

Chu Xi lifted her head, and Shen Yi’s refined face came into view instantly.

One moment she was sad. The next, her mood brightened at the thought of Shen Yi taking the initiative to converse with her.

"Mr. Shen Yi, is there something you want to talk to me about?" It was the first time Shen Yi had actively approached her, and Chu Xi’s face glowed with shy delight, resembling a bashful young lady.

Shen Yi spoke calmly and steadily, "I noticed the mountain view room only has two bedrooms. As a girl, staying with an older man like my dad may not be appropriate. I was thinking that Aunt Hu and my dad could swap places – Aunt Hu could stay in the mountain view room, while my dad and I could stay in the wooden cabin. What do you think?"

Chu Xi wasn’t paying attention to anything Shen Yi was saying. All she felt was that the man before her was radiating light, his charm overwhelming. She nodded repeatedly without hesitation.

Mr. Shen walked over and casually patted Shen Yi’s chest, grumbling, "You brat. Why didn’t you ask for my opinion first?"

Shen Yi frowned slightly, "I believe it’s more important to consult the ladies first on matters like this."

Aunt Hu’s hearty voice rang out, "Oh, Xiao Shen, you’re more considerate than my own son! Sang Chuan wouldn’t even think of finding a proper sleeping arrangement for his mom."

Aunt Hu found Shen Yi increasingly pleasing to the eye; this young man was genuinely thoughtful.

Earlier, as they descended the mountain, Shen Yi had privately mentioned this to her, saying that the enjoyment of staying in a mountain view room should go to the female guests. His dad, a rugged man, would be fine bunking with him.

Seeing this, Li Sulan’s discontent grew; she couldn’t help but cast a few dissatisfied glances at Shen Yi.

Chu Xi had finally managed to escape from Aunt Hu’s clutches and the madness of the Sang Family. How could she let Aunt Hu stay together with Chu Xi?

She immediately objected, "No way! Xiao Xi can’t stay with Aunt Hu!"

"Mom!" Chu Xi quickly called out to Li Sulan, "I’ve already agreed with Mr. Shen Yi; we can’t go back on this."

Turning to Shen Yi, she said earnestly, "Mr. Shen Yi, it’s settled. I’m perfectly fine with it."

Li Sulan bit her lips repeatedly in frustration and stomped her foot in indignation.

Had she overlooked the fact that her daughter had such a romantic fixation?

After finishing the filming, she would discuss with Chu Tian how to pressure Shen Yi into marrying Chu Xi.

If Shen Yi got into a relationship with someone else, her daughter might just jump off a building!

The wooden cabin had three beds in total. Considering that Sang Youming and Qin Jiaxiang, both older guests, would be staying in tents, Shen Yi voluntarily offered to share a tent with Qin Kai, letting the three older men share a room.

Meanwhile, Sang Chuan naturally couldn’t stay in the same room as Chu Wei and Chuyun, the mother-daughter duo. Thus, he also volunteered to share a tent with Song Shiye.

After returning to their accommodations and resting for half an hour, Director Sun announced that it was time for lunch.

Chu Xi couldn’t bring herself to participate in the meal. First, she hadn’t found the guest, and second, she hadn’t formed an alliance with Sang Ning.

But Sang Youming insisted on taking Mr. Shen, and since they were teammates, Mr. Shen called Chu Xi along as well. With Li Sulan also continually urging her to come, Chu Xi finally had an excuse to relent.

After the lunch, the guests were free to enjoy their afternoon.

Sang Ning instructed Song Shiye and Sang Chuan not to wander too far and told them to be ready to start today’s study task in an hour.

Taking advantage of this time, Sang Ning made another trip to the Astronomical Base.

Thankfully, Director Sun instructed that there was no need for cameramen to follow this afternoon, saving her the trouble of coming up with an excuse to sneak away.

After briefly parting ways with Qian Yang and Tang Yuanmao at the foot of the mountain, Sang Ning grew increasingly suspicious.

That old man seemed to be holding back something he wanted to say, as though he couldn’t find the right moment.

Seizing this opportunity, Sang Ning decided to head to the Astronomical Base again to meet that old man.
