To Mo Ting, participating in 'The Forensic Concubine' was as easy as buying a bunch of vegetables. It wasn't as complicated as the public thought and didn't require any careful thinking. It was simply something he could do.
During this time, it was normal that Mo Ting kept a low profile, but even Tangning kept an unusually low profile.
As the drama was produced by their own agency, apart from necessary promotions, Mo Ting did not organize any other events. After all, the viewership ratings were already high and Tangning had already fulfilled her responsibility as an actress. Now, Mo Ting only had one path for Tangning: to film when there was something to film and to keep a low profile when there was nothing to film.
It seemed like he wanted to tell everyone that only a good script had the ability to keep Tangning within the industry and that she lived to act. This further established Tangning's status as a top grade actress that only acted in good productions.
At this time, all Bai Yu was thinking about was how to make a comeback.
...
The '1 day, 1 night' reality show was a programme where 5 guests were placed on a deserted island and underwent activities for survival. They would be left with a code to call for help, but they would only be given 24 hours to figure it out. As long as the 5 guests successfully found all the hints on the island, they would receive keys to use on a car for escape and their mission would be considered a success. However, if they failed, they would have to undergo a challenge.
This programme had always had a decent viewership rating in Beijing.
As the islands they visited were different every time, the audience got to see a variety of unique scenery. But, on top of this, they also got to witness different thrills and excitement.
Soon, it was time to start filming the programme. Apart from Bai Yu and Huangfu Shuo, there was also an old singer and a young couple he doted on.
They weren't all from the entertainment industry. For example, the young couple were famous travelers that had traversed many foreign countries and had extensive experience in survival.
The five people were placed on an unknown island with their bulky luggage.
As the young couple were used to it, they did not struggle. Even though, the man couldn't help but carry his wife's luggage as well. As for Huangfu Shuo, he ended up offering his help to the old singer, leaving Bai Yu to fend for herself.
But, amongst these people, only Huangfu Shuo knew that Bai Yu was a fake.
So, to relieve her load, he knew she was going to put on an act.
As expected, not long after they arrived on the island and everyone was having a rest, Bai Yu expressed that she wasn't tired and offered to scope out the place for them.
No one requested for her to do such a thing, but a few moments later a shrill scream could be heard coming from the forest. Everyone looked towards the noise and found Bai Yu sitting on the floor holding onto her ankle...
"Sorry, I don't want to drag you guys down. You can leave me here and continue without me."
The old singer immediately turned to Huangfu Shuo and said, "Carry her."
Huangfu Shuo shook his head, "My responsibilty is to take care of you. Look, your body isn't well. If something happens to you, it will be a bigger burden on us."
After the other young man heard what Huangfu Shuo said, he immediately nodded his head, "He's right, why don't you let me carry you instead..."
"How about this, before the sky turns dark, we should get accustomed to everything on the island. So, why don't we let Bai Yu rest here for now and we'll go scope out the island. We can return at a set time to pick her up. That way, we won't waste any time and energy," Huangfu Shuo suggested.
"I also think this is the best option," the young woman immediately said.
"Bai Yu, if we leave you here to rest, you won't be scared, will you?" Huangfu Shuo asked.
He knew, according to Bai Yu's personality, she would never cause a scene in front of everyone. So, she simply acted like she was really understanding and said to everyone, "OK, l'll wait for you here. Who told me to be such a clutz?"
"Cool, let's hurry and get moving then..."
