After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 58: Chapter 58: About to Get Lovesick

Ji Tian occasionally saw people entering or exiting and walked along a small path surrounded by a fence when suddenly the grunting of pigs reached her ears.

She paused for a moment and looked towards the pigsty everyone avoided. It was a pigsty enclosed by stones and had only one piglet inside, right next to a dilapidated and abandoned house. Ji Tian, with a hoe over her shoulder, walked right in.

“She really doesn’t mind getting dirty, huh? I can smell it through the screen.”

“That’s clearly an abandoned house covered in cobwebs from the outside. She doesn’t think there’s a place to live inside, does she? With all the drafts, it’s uninhabitable.”

“Although, I’m suddenly kind of liking her. What do I do? She was a bit naughty at the start, but she’s really down-to-earth. Which young lady from a wealthy family would walk around aimlessly with a hoe?”

“Pfft, that’s being down-to-earth? It’s just an act, look at her, she clearly doesn’t want to win. She’s letting her brother do everything. Ji Weinan, a young master, is sweating like a dog, Wen Jiangxue that useless vase is lying in the shade to cool off, and she’s leisurely strolling along behind.”@@novelbin@@

“She doesn’t want to win but is the first to find a house. Aren’t you frustrated? The slap to the face comes so quickly, huh.”

After Ji Tian entered, she discovered a hidden paradise. If one overlooked the broken gate and courtyard, they could see a clean little yard within, with a wooden house topped with tiles. Although it looked aged, it could shield from the wind and rain.

Inside were three rooms plus a kitchen, and it was clear that the show’s crew had arranged this at the beginning. Each accommodation only had three rooms, no more.

So those who didn’t have a house in the end might indeed end up feeding the mosquitoes outside.

Ji Tian, with her hoe in hand, settled in, and Yan Ming immediately announced through the loudspeaker that the first tile-roofed house belonged to Ji Tian.

At that time, Ji Weinan was still fighting over a remote control with an old grandmother in a local family’s home.

He was convinced that Peppa Pig was playing on the TV, while the old lady just wanted to listen to folk songs. The two of them negotiated for half an hour without understanding each other’s language.

It wasn’t until Yan Ming’s voice came through that he got distracted, and the remote was snatched by the old grandmother who also scolded him and chased him out of the house.

He looked bewildered at the location of the house Yan Ming mentioned. He had been searching diligently for a long time, and his little sister had found it first?

“Ji Weinan must be a comedic actor, right? How come he doesn’t think outside the box? Really thinks Peppa Pig can only be a cartoon, huh?”

“He’s worked hard, got himself drenched in sweat, and got scolded awfully by the old grandmother, hahaha, fortunately, the grandmother scolded him in dialect which he didn’t understand, but I can read lips, she was quite foul-mouthed.”

“How come Ji Tian is so lucky? She just stumbled upon it.”

Ji Weinan, carrying his luggage, arrived at the house and upon seeing the pig in the enclosure, he suddenly had an epiphany.

He had passed by this wretched place once before, and the smell of pig manure had made him nauseous, so he took a detour around. He had no idea the house was hidden so well.

He set his suitcase in the hall, plopped down on a wooden chair, and began wiping the sweat from his forehead with his T-shirt.

After wiping, he felt dirty and frowned in irritation.

Looking at his other suitcase, he asked, “Has the stuff been sent over yet?”

Ji Tian was sipping the mountain spring water, savoring the sweet aftertaste and comfortably squinting her eyes. She looked puzzled at his question, “What stuff?”

Ji Weinan twitched his mouth corners. Pretending to be clueless, huh?

He glanced at the camera in the room; they could hear all their conversation. He could only lean in closer, his voice much lower, “The, the insect repellent for Shen Zhiyi, did you give it to her?”

“No, I threw them all away,” Ji Tian said with a smile before Ji Weinan could get angry. “She doesn’t need them, and even brought these items personally to Bai Tingyu.”

Ji Weinan’s expression froze, but what came to mind was Shen Zhiyi’s angered face from the beginning, saying she hated Bai Tingyu. Afterward, she rarely mentioned hating Bai Tingyu again.

He knew Bai Tingyu was his brother, yet he felt a twinge of guilt when he heard Shen Zhiyi say she hated him—mixed with joy; he couldn’t compare to Bai Tingyu, but he also hoped to win the favor of an outstanding girl.

Ji Weinan’s Adam’s apple moved, his youthful arrogance spread across his face as he pursed his lips, “Impossible, Ji Tian, I won’t believe a word you say, I only listen to her.”

Ji Tian also smiled a bit louder, “Suit yourself, some people just won’t give up until everything’s gone. Proud to be a lapdog, eh? Isn’t it better to be a happy single? Stuck in love’s pain, wake up, in the end, you’ll have nothing left!”

Ji Weinan: “…”

He shot her a look, winking and grimacing, “Keep it down!”

Ji Tian pouted, arrogantly replying, “I won’t, can’t I speak anymore?”

“…”

[Hmm? What’s going on with these siblings? So for whom was Ji Weinan’s mosquito repellent intended? And Ji Tian destroyed it; I’d be fuming if I were him.]

[This show is getting more and more interesting. A scion of the Ji Family acting like a love-struck fool? Hard to imagine, but who’s the girl he likes?]

[I think it’s Shen Zhiyi. They both come from the same academy, and it seems Bai Tingyu also cares about her, plus Gong Yu. And now Ji Weinan joins the fray, my goodness, is this a love square? Thrilling!]

[My guess is Shen Zhiyi too; pretty with good grades. But how should we ship this? It’s too chaotic. Plus, I’ve noticed that the Ji Family’s eldest miss doesn’t seem to like Shen Zhiyi. Is it because of the huge wealth gap?]

The camera focused quite a lot on Ji Tian’s side.

The other groups didn’t have anything particularly outstanding to show, but Ji Tian’s end carried the show’s entertainment value, sibling bickering turned into a topic of its own.

Ji Weinan was outright scowling, huffing in frustration, “Say whatever you want, I’m straightforward and upright. Liking someone is just that, no sneaking around for me.”

At this moment, Wen Jiangxue walked in.

She was spotless, not a trace of sweat, and even her shoes were too clean, as if she was here on a vacation.

Her seductive eyes flickered with a smile, “You’re only seventeen, what do you know about liking someone? Little kids should not date in secret.”

Ji Weinan’s face turned red, feeling somewhat embarrassed under Wen Jiangxue’s gaze, he retorted like a bristling hedgehog, “What’s it to you? Mind your own business.”

Wen Jiangxue’s radiant smile didn’t change, still beaming and showing no signs of anger.

“Forget it, I’ll ask myself.”

Ji Weinan ran out, followed immediately by a cameraman with his camera aloft.

Wen Jiangxue took a seat in the chair Ji Weinan had vacated, asking, “What’s wrong with your brother?”

“He’s about to be lovestruck,” Ji Tian said airily. “So I prepared a hoe for him, it’ll come in handy soon.”

Wen Jiangxue chuckled, her gaze lingering on Ji Tian, “You siblings are quite entertaining.”

Outside, Yan Ming’s voice blared through a loudspeaker, “Congratulations to Yu Chuang’s Team for winning a two-story villa, congratulations to He Chenxi’s Team for winning a thatched cottage, please all players gather in the clearing for the announcement of the second task.”
