After Going Viral on a Dating Show, I'm Pampered by All

Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Mr. Si, Don’t Tell Me You Came to the Reality Show to Experience Life

“Brother Shen,” Liang Mengyun cautiously stood beside him, her cheeks flushed with red.

He had always been reluctant to hype things up with others, even refusing to utter a word that might lead to misunderstandings, despite being passionately shipped by netizens in a reality show. Yet now, he had agreed to a publicity pairing with her.

It made her wonder, did she still hold a place in Sang Shen’s heart?

“Mm,” Sang Shen nodded indifferently, his gaze drifting unconsciously to Sang Qiao next to him.

She hadn’t given him an extra glance, and she was whispering with Si Chenli, appearing very close.

[Oh my god, when people said Liang Mengyun and Sang Emperor’s appearance together was just acting for a beating, they were actually really close, okay?]

[Sang Emperor really loves Liang Mengyun, huh? Did he not come on the show because of the Weibo incident before, and then once it was resolved, he didn’t hesitate to breach his contract with Director Li just to be on the romance reality show with Sister Meng Yun? This is love!]

[Looking at it this way, Sang Emperor probably didn’t dare to acknowledge Sang Qiao before because he wanted her to take the fall for their argument, but now that it’s resolved, they’ve reconciled!]

[Help, it’s so loving, a family reunited.]

[What’s so loving about it? Sang Emperor made Qiao take such a big fall for him, even to the point of destroying her, can it really all just be glossed over with a few words now? Can’t you see Qiao isn’t even bothering with him?]

[If my brother did something so terrible to me, I would absolutely hate him to my core and could never forgive him, please, fans of Sang Emperor, try putting yourself in someone else’s shoes and stop only thinking about your brother.]

The barrage of comments was in an uproar, but it did nothing to affect the director, who cheerfully announced today’s itinerary with a smile.

“Due to the accident on the mountain last time, the production team has taken everyone’s safety into account, so today’s task is very simple. We’re going to visit the orphanage to play benefactor for a day, letting those orphans feel the love of parents. Each kid will have a small red flower, and the team that collects the most by evening wins.”

“…We’re not going to have the kids call us mom and dad, are we?” Meng Wangge asked timidly.

“It mainly depends on the kids; you must treat them with the utmost care, as they are very sensible and quite sensitive.”

The director inserted this mission to let everyone understand the plight of this group of poor kids and hoped more and more people would help the orphans.

“Taking care of kids is easy.” Lu Tianxin had always been confident; the children from her extended family all liked her a lot.

“We can set off then, four people per car, and there are gifts for the kids in the trunk that you can use to coax them later.”

“Okay.”

Si Chenli and Sang Qiao had just gotten into one car when Meng Wangge was about to join them.

But another figure moved faster, brushing past her and getting into the car directly. Sang Shen acted as if he hadn’t seen her, his attention on Liang Mengyun behind him.

“Let’s take this car,” he said.

With everyone already in the cars, not to mention Liang Mengyun wouldn’t refuse, even if she might, it would be hard to do so, “Okay.”

Meng Wangge had no choice but to switch to another car.

Si Chenli looked at Sang Shen next to him: “…”

“Mr. Si, how about we switch seats? I have something I want to say to Qiaoqiao,” Sang Shen said, seemingly oblivious to the other’s disgust, shamelessly pressing.

“Not switching,” Si Chenli responded without even lifting his head; he had arrived early and naturally knew about what had happened that morning.

Since the young lady was giving Sang Shen the cold shoulder, he was not about to treat Sang Shen any better.

“Qiaoqiao, so you’re Sang Emperor’s sister? Why haven’t I heard you mention it before?” Liang Mengyun, sitting alone in the passenger seat, turned her head back.

“I don’t know him,” Sang Qiao frowned slightly, guessing right away that it must have been Sang Shen who had leaked it.

“Not… not familiar?” Liang Mengyun felt somewhat embarrassed. Were the two of them still fighting?

“Sang Emperor is still shamelessly trying to make connections, just like before,” Si Chenli’s unfathomable black eyes glanced at the man beside him, his words heavy with sarcasm.

Sang Shen couldn’t help but recall how he had been mocked in public as a child when he called Si Chenli “Brother,” even though his intention hadn’t been to forge connections, but merely a polite form of address.

But now, Qiaoqiao’s reluctance to recognize him was his own wishful atonement. Being humiliated was inevitable. “And what about Mr. Si? What’s the purpose of pairing up with Qiaoqiao on ‘Love Variety’? Don’t tell me it’s to experience life.”

“What do you think, Qiaoqiao?” Si Chenli turned his head to look at the young girl on the other side, his gaze much softer.

“For me.” Sang Qiao blinked and spoke up. To the online viewers in front of the screen, it looked like the two were flirting.

Sang Qiao: She’s just a heartless, professional actress.

Si Chenli chuckled pleasantly and glanced at Sang Shen, “Got your answer?”

Sang Shen was gnashing his teeth with anger. That smug look on Si Chenli made it impossible for him to do anything. In his opinion, someone as sinister as him didn’t deserve Qiaoqiao!

At the same time, he was aware that in front of Qiaoqiao, he had no say, even less important than Si Chenli. He could only swallow his anger in silence.

The rest of the way, Sang Shen kept quiet, not speaking again.

Not until the vehicle entered the orphanage and they got out to move things from the trunk.

Several bags of stuff were in there, lumpy and uneven, and it wasn’t clear what was inside.

Sang Shen wanted to do something for Sang Qiao, so he went to the trunk first, “Qiaoqiao, you girls don’t need to lift anything. Let Mr. Si and me handle it.”

As he spoke, he fiercely grabbed two bags of stuff, trying to show off. @@novelbin@@

But he hadn’t expected those two bags to be unexpectedly heavy; he couldn’t lift them at all.

[LOL I’m dying, is Sang Emperor faking? Just as I thought? Can’t even lift two bags?]

[Nonsense, Sang Emperor has super boyfriend power, okay? The bags must be really, really heavy, no one could lift them.]

“Sang Emperor, let me help you with those,” Liang Mengyun offered, holding the other end of the bags, wanting to lift them together.

Sang Shen’s face was slightly red, and he immediately refused, “No need, my hands just slipped, I didn’t grip tightly.”

“Okay then,” Liang Mengyun didn’t suspect anything and stepped aside to wait.

Si Chenli effortlessly lifted two large bags from the trunk and just stood there waiting for him.

The stark contrast made Sang Shen exert more strength to lift the bags, not knowing what was so heavy inside.

He stumbled a few steps before falling forward, his mouth directly hitting Si Chenli’s black leather shoes.

Even the guests from the other vehicles stopped to watch the commotion, “…”

“I was just tripped,” said Sang Shen, his face beet red. He didn’t forget to explain to Sang Qiao, fearing she might think he was useless and couldn’t help at all.

“Don’t waste time.” Sang Qiao couldn’t bear to watch. She walked over in a few steps, took the two large bags from his hand, and easily lifted one in each hand.

She didn’t even wait for them and just walked away.
