After Transmigrating into the Main Shou, I Topped the Paranoid Big Shot 37

Chapter 37

Qi Zhiyi had a particular fondness for the sweet and sour fried dough sticks, but before he could eat more than a few pieces, he was stopped by his own twin brother, “Zhiyi, have you gained weight these past few days?”
Qi Zhiyi exclaimed unhappily, “I’m starving to death!”
After Qi Nanfeng tried two pieces himself, his assistant, who was mixed in with the staff, gave him a friendly reminder about the calories, and he could only reluctantly put down his chopsticks.
In the end, most of the plate of sweet and sour fried dough sticks ended up with the black-hearted program team, exchanged for a few of tomorrow’s ingredients for Zong Mo.

With Director Tu around, there was no need to worry about being bored on a night without electronic devices.
In the cabin’s living room, Tu Bu sat cross-legged and said, “Now, everyone, come up one by one to draw your role cards for tomorrow.”
“Are we playing a role-playing game?” Qi Zhiyi asked with pure curiosity.
“Yes,” Tu Bu nodded. “Then Zhiyi and Nanfeng, you two go first.”
Qi Zhiyi went over happily, directly took two cards, and read the words on them out loud, “Son and daughter of the Green Cabin. But we’re brothers?”
Tu Bu remained silent, putting on a profound and inscrutable expression.
Zong Mo suddenly had a bad feeling.

Next, Tu Bu called Ruan Chi and Ling Han to draw cards. In the end, there was only one card left for him, with no other choice.
Zong Mo suspiciously flipped the card over: [Mistress of the Green Cabin]
“‘Mistress of the Green Cabin’… what does that mean?”
Tu Bu replied, “The mother of the two kids, of course.”
Ling Han, for a rare change, spoke up after Zong Mo, “I want to change my card.”
Zong Mo: …
He was just about to ask Ling Han what he had drawn to be so disgusted, when Qi Zhiyi on the other side had already snatched his card and read it out loud, “Master of the Green Cabin. Haha, Little Han, you’re going to play our dad?”
Zong Mo: …?
Director Tu must be doing this on purpose, right? Could it be because of the bullet comments shipping him and Ling Han?
He had to say, even though the script had already gone off the rails, Zong Mo had, to some extent, guessed the truth.

【Look at Ling Han’s disgusted expression, hahaha, I’m dying.】
【What’s the story between Han Han and Mo Mo? Curiosity +n】
【Could it be because he didn’t get to eat last night and was forced to wash dishes, so he’s holding a grudge, hahaha】
With a father, a mother, and children, Zong Mo was even more curious about Ruan Chi’s card. He went over to look, “Forest ranger neighbor? Hmm, this should be commonly known as… Old Wang next door?”

[T.N: Old Wang next door : This is a very famous Chinese internet meme and slang term for a neighbor who is having an affair with one’s wife. ]

【Old Wang next door, hahaha】
【It seems there’s also a story between Old Wang next door and the mistress. The program team really knows how to play.】
Ruan Chi: …

Zong Mo was secretly envious. Old Wang next door seemed to be the simplest role, one that could stay far away from the disputes of the Green Cabin.
Tu Bu said, “The role-playing will start tomorrow morning and will last for one day.”
Zong Mo suspected that the role of the mother would have to bear all the household chores for a family of four. Cooking was fine, but adding everything else would be truly unbearable.
“I don’t think the program team should have such stereotypes,” Zong Mo said with a straight face. “Why must the mother be the one to handle cooking and other chores?”
Ling Han said with a blank expression, “I don’t know how to cook.”
Qi Zhiyi was willing but unable, and said dejectedly, “We don’t either.”

【Mo Mo’s values are very upright, but you can’t escape the task of cooking, hhh】
【Why is Mo Mo’s focus on cooking, and not the suddenly appearing husband??】
“Drawing roles is not for assigning tasks,” Tu Bu also said with a straight face. “It’s for distributing costumes.”
Zong Mo: ?
It was hard not to suspect that Director Tu had come up with this on the spot, and that the drawing had definitely been rigged.
After the drawing, the program team brought out the pre-prepared costume packages.
Qi Zhiyi was probably the only one among the five who was interested in the role-playing game. He was the first to open his and Qi Nanfeng’s costumes and said in confusion, “Huh, why are they the same?”
Tu Bu said, “Because you are twins and you drew brother and sister, so we changed them to be the same.”
Zong Mo: ? Director Tu definitely rigged the drawing.
Finding that both outfits were pants, Qi Zhiyi was even a little disappointed and clicked his tongue.

The red and green floral cotton jacket was festive and comical. Zong Mo had no time to laugh at others. He picked up his own clothes and took a look. The style was reasonably normal, but as expected, it was women’s clothing.
An Lan had said Director Tu had taken a liking to him because of his cooking. Now, it seemed it wasn’t that simple. The ace manager had also miscalculated.
Qi Zhiyi almost put on his costume ahead of time, but Ruan Chi’s clothes had not yet been distributed.
Zong Mo actively asked for him, “Where are Ruan-ge’s clothes?”
Ruan Chi: ?

Tu Bu said with a profound look, “How could there be a neighbor’s clothes in the Green Cabin?”
Zong Mo: …
“And, the neighbor who came to visit the Green Cabin, it’s time for him to go back to his own home.”
Tu Bu coughed, fearlessly continuing his bluff, “Alright, Ruan Chi, please proceed to the forest ranger’s cabin accompanied by the staff.”
Ruan Chi finally couldn’t help but exclaim, “What did you say?”
Agreement Article 1: Follow the arrangements of the program team.
No matter how unwilling Ruan Chi was, he could only move house overnight.
Of course, Zong Mo was responsible for seeing him off.
Agreement Article 3: Be obedient.

Qi Zhiyi wanted to go and join the fun but was refused by Zong Mo on the grounds that “children can’t run around at night.”
Instantly getting into character, Qi Zhiyi also cooperated with his acting, saying sweetly, “Okay, Mom, come back early.”
Zong Mo: ?
His few wife fans had definitely vanished at this moment.

Zong Mo and Ruan Chi, led by the program team, walked along a row of tall fir trees. The further they went, the denser the trees became, as if they had really entered a forest. The high moon above was also cut into fragments by the towering treetops.
Before them was a small wooden cabin with a pointed roof. Opposite the entrance was a sink, and next to it, a square wooden table under a window. The loft was the bed, occupying half of the pointed roof, one side against the wall, the other with a high wooden ladder that required both hands to climb.
Such a private little space was full of a sense of security. There was also a thick curtain on the side of the stairs that could be drawn, providing good privacy.
But Zong Mo felt that his CEO Ruan had probably never lived in such a small house in his life.
The bathrooms in the villa were bigger than this. As for the bathroom… Zong Mo looked left and right, but couldn’t find another door in the small cabin that could be seen at a glance. In the end, he found that the toilet and shower were in a wooden shed built outside.
So small it was difficult to even turn around.
Ruan Chi: …

Zong Mo comforted him, “Ruan-ge, it seems you’ve gotten the male lead script again.”
“And you?” Ruan Chi said. “You’ve gotten the female lead script again?”
Zong Mo: …
The live stream room was already lively at night. With the unlocking of the mysterious new map, most of the viewers had flooded into their stream. They had originally been looking forward to seeing Ruan Chi being stumped, but seeing the two’s childish bickering was also a worthwhile trip.

【hahahahahahahaha】
【Facts have proven that cross-dressing only happens zero times or countless times.】
【So the female lead of Conquering the Entertainment Industry is really Mo Mo?】
【sry I briefly shipped MoHan just now, I’m back on the Dyeing Vat ship!!】
Ruan Chi said nothing, just threw his wheeled suitcase into the room as if venting his anger. The suitcase slid less than a few dozen centimeters before hitting the wooden ladder in the center and falling over with a thud.
Zong Mo looked up at the small pendant light hanging from the ceiling. The light was faint and yellow. The window by the main door was reasonably bright, but it was a small house, after all, and the outside was full of dense woods. The already thin moonlight couldn’t shine in at all.
“Be careful when you walk, otherwise you might hit your head on the ladder,” Zong Mo said seriously. Fearing that Ruan Chi would flip out and go on strike, he added in a low voice, “Article one.”

To appease the on-the-verge-of-exploding Ruan Chi, Zong Mo continued to the program team, “I’ll help Ruan-ge tidy up. I’ll be back in a bit.”
The main program team retreated, leaving only the cameras placed in various corners of the cabin to film the two of them.
Just as he had taken out his pajamas, the small pendant light above his head suddenly went dark.
Ruan Chi: ?
Zong Mo: “Power outage?”
Tu Bu came in with a flashlight and said, “This cabin is also solar-powered. It was just installed yesterday, and the sun here is not very good. It should be out of power now.”
This was indeed an unexpected situation for Tu Bu. He rarely showed kindness, but he left the flashlight and said, “It will have power after it gets some sun when it’s light.”
Ruan Chi: …

“There are cameras inside and outside the cabin, and the staff live not far away. It’s very safe,” Tu Bu said. “Alright, Zong Mo, you should go home now.”
Zong Mo also had to follow the program team’s arrangements, mainly because he couldn’t afford the program’s penalty for breach of contract.
Ruan Chi wasn’t very afraid of the dark, but when he was alone, and in such a small house in the middle of nowhere, it was terrifyingly quiet. The occasional rustle of the wind or the chirping of insects could make a person jump.
Unable to sleep, Ruan Chi took out his phone. He opened WeChat, typed, and sent.
[Come over. Be obedient.]
Zong Mo, who had just finished washing up and was about to lie down: …

It was past twelve. Perhaps because they were in the mountains with no entertainment, the twins and Ling Han had already gone to bed early.
Zong Mo helplessly came out of the bedroom and found the only cameraman still on duty. He asked in a low voice, “Can I go to the forest ranger’s cabin?”
【???】
【Is the mistress really going to climb the wall to find Old Wang next door?】
【LMAO, when did the director secretly give them the script?】
“Director Tu has gone to bed. He didn’t leave any instructions,” the cameraman said. “Why don’t you go secretly…?”
Whether Director Tu agreed or not, there was never too much filming material.
Zong Mo didn’t really go alone and secretly. The cameraman followed at a distance, staying out of the shot himself. In the eyes of the audience, it was the mistress leaving home alone in the middle of the night for a rendezvous with Old Wang next door.

The night in the mountains was particularly cold. It was still chilly when Zong Mo pushed open the door of the cabin.
Zong Mo turned off the flashlight he had brought, and the surroundings were instantly so dark you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face.
Thinking that the pampered CEO Ruan had surely never suffered such neglect, Zong Mo, who had been called out in the middle of the night, had no temper at all. He stood at the bottom of the ladder and called out, “Ruan-ge, can you shine the flashlight on the ladder? I need to climb up and won’t have a hand to hold it.”
The beam of the flashlight shot straight down, like a spotlight on the young man below.
Zong Mo gave his own flashlight to the cameraman who was working overtime in the middle of the night and climbed up to the loft bed.

After climbing up, he also drew the curtain. Ruan Chi turned off the flashlight, but the expected darkness did not come. Because the bed was high, looking out from the window at the head of the bed, the view was above most of the woods, boundless.
There was also a small skylight above his head. The view was not obstructed by tall buildings or the forest. With one glance, he could see through tens of billions of light-years. The brilliant starry sky seemed to be within reach.
Zong Mo was no longer sleepy. He lay down to admire the beautiful scenery and asked, “Do you feel like you’re on vacation now?”
A paid vacation in a remote place was not at all worse than booking out a hot spring resort or a hotel suite!
But Ruan Chi was slightly displeased. “Are you sure?”
Zong Mo was very sure, until the strong night wind blew, making the two dilapidated windows rattle.
Zong Mo: …

He got up to check the two windows. They were both locked properly, but there were still gaps between the windows and the frames. Not only did a cold wind blow in, but they also rattled with a light touch.
“Ruan-ge, you sleep on that end. I’ll hold this window at the head of the bed. It won’t be as loud.”
Ruan Chi was silent for a moment, then repeated his own words, “Are you sure?”
“Can you stay awake for ten minutes without falling asleep?”
Zong Mo really couldn’t guarantee this. Ruan Chi didn’t move to the other end either, probably not wanting to have his head facing his feet. He just said in his ear, “Go to sleep.”

The room was dark, but the camera had a night vision function and could also record sound. Even though the people hiding behind the curtain couldn’t be seen, and it was the middle of the night, the bullet comments were constantly refreshing.
【Do they think the live stream is off??】
【They haven’t said anything that can’t be broadcast, right…?】
【Wuwuwu why can I ship them to death just from a few words? It must be the late-night show’s fault, not me tut】
【Can you pull back the curtain, ahhh】
【Let the young couple enjoy some time alone, hahaha (but still, I also vote for pulling back the curtain)】
