Chapter 18: Shura Field

Tang Qiaoqiao and Shen Liang stared at each other with shocked eyes. A distance of one meter separated them, and they did not speak for a while.

If it weren’t for the cicadas on the tree that were chirping, people would think that their live broadcast screen had frozen.

When Tang Qiaoqiao saw Shen Liang, the corners of her mouth drooped immediately. 'Why would this dog man appear here?'

Theoretically, Shen Liang should have avoided her since she had ridiculed him face-to-face at the villa last time and he was driven away by Shen Yue. It would be best if they stayed away from each other.

Besides, she had already been on this show before, and it was in the headlines. She didn’t believe that Shen Liang did not know. So was his purpose in participating in this show to find fault?

This dog man had a heart smaller than a needle's eye.

[T/N: "狗比男人心眼比针尖还小" expresses the idea that someone is particularly petty or vindictive, suggesting that they have very little capacity for kindness or generosity. It implies a sense of disdain for the person's character, emphasizing their small-mindedness.]

If it wasn’t for the fact she needed to accumulate fan popularity to absorb spiritual qi, she would have quit on the spot when she saw his face.

Tang Qiaoqiao had already calculated in her heart that it would be impossible for her to walk more than a dozen miles on foot.

Shen Liang also had a sullen face. How could he not know that Tang Qiaoqiao was in this show? Because of this woman, he was scolded by his mother and his grandmother. Also, who knew  what was going on with Tang Rou recently? She was also so cold to him.

All of these conflicts were because of her.

The recording of "Wonderful Food" was entirely his brokerage company's arrangement. Shen Liang's popularity as an idol was very high, but his acting skills were his weakness. So far, he had no masterpiece that could root him in the industry. Most of his current works were just idol dramas about love.

It wasn't until some time ago that Shen Liang finally received a serious movie. His partner was Mao Li, a veteran actress who was already a popular film queen at the age of forty. Such opportunities are rare and hard to come by, which was why the company and the agents insisted he must fully cooperate with Mao Li's demands. He was required to participate in various promotional activities.

For some reason, Mao Li's side requested to appear on "Wonderful Food", and the production team was more than eager to accommodate. As the male lead, Shen Liang had no choice but to show up.

He originally planned to keep a distance from Tang Qiaoqiao after appearing on this show and only mix up with her casually for a period. He didn't expect the show group would be like this!

The director must have known what happened between him and Tang Qiaoqiao before. They were deliberately throwing him and Tang Qiaoqiao together. They must be wanting to make big news.

If he had known, he would not come even at the risk of death, but now it was too late to regret it.

Facing Tang Qiaoqiao, Shen Liang suddenly felt a sense of guilt, as if he was rushing to pester her.

At this time, the live broadcast room was extremely lively.

【The new guest is Shen Liang. Hahaha, I really like the Shura show】

【The show crew is really going to mess up. Putting Shen Liang and Tang Qiaoqiao together, I shrink my toes from the embarrassment across the screen】

【Junk show group. Cheating my Brother Shen Liang. Tang Pupu stay away from my brother!!!】

【The upstairs is so cheap. It was Shen Liang who was rushing to catch up with the show, you black-bone mackerel】

【Fart, who knows what would happen to this broken show without Shen Liang】

【Broken show? Would you like to look at the ratings and views of the previous issue? If the ratings are not good, would Shen Liang come? So ridiculous】

【Tang Pupu has been whitewashed. A three-no entertainer girl could also get into the entertainment circle】

【I like Qiaoqiao. Last time it was obvious that Shen Liang did not respect people and pushed a girl down on the street. His character is too bad】

...

After the first episode of "Wonderful Food" was broadcast and the guest appearances and cooking in the crew were posted to Weibo, Tang Qiaoqiao gradually gained some loyal fans. She was no longer like before when Shen Liang fans scolded her one-sidedly.

While Tang Qiaoqiao's fans and Shen Liang’s fans sprayed each other on the Internet, the scene was still awkward. The cameramen on both sides looked at each other. How would they take any good pictures when the scene is this cold?

So they tried to end it. "Two seniors, would you like to discuss a solution together?"

"No."

"Who wants to discuss anything with her."

Tang Qiaoqiao and Shen Liang refused in unison.

Cameraman: ...

【Oh my God, I can't. Hahaha】

【Tang Qiaoqiao has a disgusted expression on her face. Who said she likes Shen Liang? It's pure rumors】

After waiting for more than ten minutes, no car passed by on the road. The sun was scorching, and Shen Liang kicked stones on the street violently.

Tang Qiaoqiao was really considering the plan to walk there on foot, but she was worried that the cameraman would not be able to walk that long with the camera on his shoulders.

At this moment, a tractor was slowly coming over with black smoke.

Tang Qiaoqiao's eyes lit up. She quickly stopped the tractor. In the driver's seat sat a middle-aged couple with a simple smile on their faces.

Tang Qiaoqiao explained her intentions and asked if she could take a ride. Coincidentally, the middle-aged couple's home was in the village Tang Qiaoqiao was going to go to. They were very happy to take them for a ride, but the back of the tractor was full of forage, and there was no place to sit.

Tang Qiaoqiao ran behind the tractor and took a look before she smiled, "No problem, I can sit on the haystack."

The middle-aged couple: "As long as you don't dislike it, come up."

Tang Qiaoqiao threw her backpack on first, then grabbed the handrails and jumped up as soon as she lifted her feet.

She stopped suddenly. She turned her head and smiled at Shen Liang. "Do you want to go together?"

Shen Liang was already irritable, but his face became more stinky when he saw her smiling face. "Do you think I look like a tractor rider?"

He had never even taken a bus in his life, not to mention such a dirty tractor.

"Then wait slowly." Tang Qiaoqiao immediately put a big smile on her face.

【Inexplicably think Tang Qiaoqiao's smile is mean, so cute】

【She's just polite. A polite cutie】

【Shen Liang is good and noble? What is wrong with a tractor?】

Tang Qiaoqiao landed on the haystack and pulled the cameraman up. After the two of them sat down, the tractor hit the road, and Shen Liang's face was blown by the dust.

The tractor swayed and rumbled. Tang Qiaoqiao lay on her back on the soft haystack, as if her whole body was immersed in the fragrance of dry green grass, with the endless blue sky and white clouds in front of her. This comfortable feeling away from the city made her feel like she had returned to her previous world.

The cameraman dutifully took pictures of Tang Qiaoqiao. The woman was wearing jeans with suspenders, her arms were resting on her head, and her face was always full of smiles. She sat on a tractor so leisurely, nothing like what you would expect from a female celebrity.

Although the journey was relatively desolate, she knew why the program group would pick such a place after arriving at the destination. The village was quiet and peaceful, very quaint.

Tang Qiaoqiao rushed to her assigned farmer's house. As soon as she entered the door, she heard a familiar cry. "Sister Qiaoqiao."

Her junior, Wei Yiqi, rushed towards Tang Qiaoqiao excitedly and took the luggage for her.

Tang Qiaoqiao smiled. "You came very early."

"I'm not the first. Teacher Mao was the first to arrive." While he was talking, a woman in a blue dress walked out of the room. It was Mao Li, the famous actress.

Tang Qiaoqiao had watched her play and put aside Shen Liang. This new guest is a very reliable actress. And Mao Li was so kind. She actually took the initiative to shake hands with her.

Tang Qiaoqiao obediently said hello. After a few seconds, when she was about to withdraw her hand...

'Huh? Can't pull it away.' 

The other party held her hand tightly. Mao Li was expressionless, just staring at her closely, with a hint of eagerness.

Only when Tang Qiaoqiao reminded her, "Ms. Mao," she was shocked before letting go.

Wei Yiqi was dumbfounded. But he thought it was nothing and asked Tang Qiaoqiao to enter the room to rest. After more than an hour, Zhou Meng and Hu Miao arrived in a small car.

Shen Liang arrived last. After Tang Qiaoqiao left, he waited and waited, but no other cars passed by. The program crew couldn't stand it and sent a car to pick him up.

When everyone arrived, it was almost dusk, so the director just asked everyone to take a group photo for publicity.

Mao Li had the largest fan base. She was standing at the center position, but her face remained cold, exuding an ice queen's aura. Shen Liang's expression was very ugly, as if everyone owed him money. Zhou Meng was also very upset. She was originally the biggest star on the show, but now, she has been suppressed. What’s more, the sight of Tang Qiaoqiao suffocated her more, so she rolled her eyes slightly but was captured by the camera.

Only Tang Qiaoqiao and Wei Yiqi stood next to each other and laughed simple-mindedly; they were even posing with peace signs.

【The sweetness of sugar flavor (Tang Wei) is the cutest.】

【It's full of Shura field aura. It's not an easy, aiyo】

【This group photo is so awkward. I suddenly look forward to their tasks】
