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

Chapter 94: Chapter 94 She Likes Me

Gong Yu finished speaking, patted Qin Jiangsheng on the shoulder, and walked away.

Qin Jiangsheng furrowed his brows: the Bai Family had an engagement token with the Ji Family? How come he was unaware of this?

But he also knew very well the nature of Bai Tingyu—a defiant bone ran through his body: the more you wanted him to do something, the more he might rebelliously refuse to do it.

His heart wasn’t all that concerned; he still had to clear up what it actually meant to like someone.

There was a carpet in the living room; the weather was somewhat cold, but it was sufficient.

Qin Jiangsheng slept on the sofa with one hand covering his eyes.

Feng Juanjuan hid in the darkness, quietly watching his superior jawline, his skin exuding an unhealthy pallid coldness. It was hard to imagine what it would look like for someone like him to like another person.

But against all odds, she heard Qin Jiangsheng’s admission.

Unrequited love, hidden from the daylight—her emotion, elated just at the sight of him, turned bitter.

Tears fell silently, one by one; Feng Juanjuan raised her hand to wipe them away.

Ji Tian’s family was so well-off, with many people liking her. Why couldn’t she just give Qin Jiangsheng to her?

The light in her eyes gradually turned venomous. It would be better if she was dead; then Qin Jiangsheng would cast his spare glances at her.

This idea grew stronger and stronger, and she turned back to her room. Then, in the early morning when everyone was unaware, she climbed out the window.

In her hand, she held a burlap bag, specially used to catch poisonous snakes. After all, in the rural countryside, snakes and other venomous creatures were abundant—it was normal for one to occasionally slither in and bite someone.

If she were to die from the venom, it would just be her own bad luck.

Feng Juanjuan followed her memory to find a nest of venomous snakes she had accidentally seen before. The snakes were entirely emerald-green with light-colored patterns, appearing quite beautiful.

The more beautiful things are, the more poisonous they tend to be.

After catching the snake and placing it in the bag, she made her way back.

By this time, it was almost six in the morning; people in the small western-style house had begun to wake up, one after another. The crew had arrived at five-thirty, setting up their filming equipment.

A thin layer of sweat formed in Feng Juanjuan’s palms; she climbed through the window, having spent the entire night awake to catch this snake.

She didn’t need Bei Ning to do a thing for her—the conversation last night between Qin Jiangsheng and Gong Yu had provoked her, and now she only wanted Ji Tian dead.

Walking to the second floor, she nervously released the snake. The slim serpent slid through the gap under Ji Tian’s door, and only then did she leave.

Now it was half-past six, and Ji Tian sat cross-legged on her bed, wiping an iodine solution over the wounds on her arm.

Everywhere but their room, the crew had almost finished setting up the equipment, and as soon as the broadcast started, a flood of online friends who had been on the lookout swarmed in.

[Waiting for the follow-up from yesterday. Did anyone die?]

[Can the person above be less ominous? If someone died, would this show still be on air? You’re really here to joke around.]

[You guys are so eager, it’s not even seven yet, and here you all are. Tsk tsk, I never see you this eager to go to work.]

[Aren’t we getting ready to go to work? What’s wrong with watching the live stream and slacking off?]

Meanwhile, in the second-floor room, Ji Tian looked at the swelling on her foot—thankfully, the medication from yesterday had already made it much better.

She had to thank her Strength Value for boosting her health; otherwise, she would have caught a cold from all that rain last night.

Thinking about last night’s ordeal made Ji Tian want to explode Ji Weinan’s head in frustration!

Being so furious, she pulled out two hard walnuts from her suitcase, completely unaware of the green, slender snake slowly inching closer to her.

Standing barefoot on the floor, she clenched her hand forcefully, and with a crack, the walnut shattered into several pieces.

“Ssssss.” Because of her movement, the snake stopped right in its tracks.

Ji Tian turned around to lock eyes with the snake raising its head.

A person and a snake stared at each other, creating a somewhat eerie scene.

Ji Tian squinted slightly and squeezed harder, crushing the already fragmented walnut shell into dust in her grip.

She opened her hand, and the bits all fell to the ground.

“If you don’t want to end up like this walnut, roll back to wherever you came from.”

Snake (°ー°〃): “…ssssss.”

The snake glanced between Ji Tian and the walnut, confirming through eye contact that she was not someone to mess with.

Animals are far more sensitive to danger than humans, and it decisively turned and slipped out through the crack under the door.

Ji Tian wasn’t afraid of these cute little animals; they were just too fragile, not enough for her to consider a challenge.

She rummaged through her suitcase for clothes to wear, needing to hold on for just two more days to leave the program, and this thought filled her with motivation.

Just after freshening up, she heard a scream coming from the bungalow.

Ji Tian paused briefly, then opened the door and stepped outside.

Qin Jiangsheng was casually leaning at the top of the stairs, his gaze fixated on Feng Juanjuan’s room, the source of the scream.

Hearing the sound of footsteps descending the stairs, he turned his head, his eyes falling on her bare feet, and recalling Qu Rong’s words, he asked, “Does your foot still hurt?”

Ji Tian: “?”

In all her life, she’d never heard the big bad inquire about her wellbeing.

Last night, he had brought her back without asking about her injury, probably satisfied as long as she was still breathing.

Blinking, she replied, “It doesn’t hurt anymore, but why the sudden concern about my foot?”

Qin Jiangsheng’s lips tightened, finding himself unable to meet Ji Tian’s gaze directly for the first time; he looked away, “Just caring about you.”

Ji Tian: “???”

“Huh?”

He’d learned to care about her already? She was so moved she could cry!

As she saw it, friends had evolved into good brothers, and this meant there might be hope for escaping her fate as cannon fodder.

With tearful gratitude, Ji Tian said, “Thank you, oh, my dear good brother.”

Qin Jiangsheng’s lips pressed even tighter, his whole body tense as he bowed his head, thinking to himself that Ji Tian calling him dear was right, just as Qu Rong had said—she liked him.

“What are they doing here? What happened to Feng Juanjuan?” Ji Tian moved closer, with the sweet scent of roses wafting from her.

Qin Jiangsheng looked up, his gaze passing lightly over the scene, “A little snake got lost earlier, I just pointed it to the right path.”

Feng Juanjuan was hurriedly carried out by a group of people, the snake was dead, bitten at her ankle with the wound evident, and after the first scream, her whole face was ghostly pale, as if she were about to pass on at any moment.

Ji Tian couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth, looking at his cold, detached profile—it certainly was a path to the underworld.

Yan Ming had not expected such a series of problems to arise in just two days of the show.

He hadn’t offered any explanation for yesterday’s drama to the outside world, only captured their figures on camera to show everyone was fine and there had been no incidents.

Now there was an incident with Feng Juanjuan.

Given that the bungalow was backed by shrubbery, Yan Ming had assumed the snake’s appearance was accidental, and Feng Juanjuan was unlucky to have been bitten, promptly rushed to the hospital.

Thus, the show eliminated two contestants at once.

After the commotion settled, the program began officially.

Everyone gathered in the open area, and Ji Weinan, not having slept the previous night, approached Ji Tian somewhat awkwardly, “Little sis…”

But Ji Tian didn’t even glance at him and instead raised her hand, “Director, I want to use the elimination card.”

“I eliminate Ji Weinan.”
