Chapter 81: More Please – I’m Shipping This So Hard
Wen Tianzi was an idol who debuted through a talent show. During her time in a temporary group, due to her company’s limited resources and her overlapping image with another member, she was often sidelined. But even so, she still worked hard.
After the temporary group disbanded, she was placed in a new group with other idols by her company, and she was the main vocalist and dancer.
Wen Tianzi felt that the other three members in the group were actually quite talented and also worked hard, but just like her experience in the temporary group, without resources and exposure, it was very difficult to stand out in this industry, their group was extremely unpopular.
But Wen Tianzi wasn’t particularly ambitious, and the other members also had a peaceful mindset, operating on the principle of taking whatever jobs came their way, whether shows or commercial performances, and when there was no work, practicing or staying home was also fine. They were all very content, out of sync with the turbulent entertainment industry.
But their persistence paid off, at least the group, including her, had some loyal fans, and her fans even praised her professionalism, saying that although she was an unpopular, eighteenth-tier idol, she didn’t date and had no scandals or gossip.
Wen Tianzi felt a little offended, but the main reason she didn’t date was… she was a lesbian.
She cautiously kept her sexual orientation a secret, afraid to date, her daily joy was shipping CPs. She did have a type, but she didn’t have any intention of pursuing anyone.
She liked Dong Ling, CEO of Canghai Entertainment, but she liked Dong Ling and Song Mingzhi together even more, the Song Zhong CP was her ultimate OTP! (One True Pairing)
If she revealed her alternate Weibo account ID, the Song Zhong sisters would all know her as “PleaseSendMeOffToMyGrave”!
So when the invitation to “Cloud Travels” arrived, her first thought was that it was a joke.
Although she was in the industry, she had never wanted to interact with Dong Ling and Song Mingzhi, firstly, because they were too famous, she couldn’t reach them, and secondly, a true CP fan wouldn’t bother the stars, and she knew that sometimes, seeing the stars in person and knowing the distance between them might ruin the illusion.
But even so, when the opportunity actually presented itself, she immediately packed her bags and was ready to go.
For both her career and her CP, she had to go.
She posted on Weibo, thanking the fans who recommended her under the official announcement, and also those who liked and supported her comment, allowing her to be noticed by the program team, and on the appointed day, she set off for the filming location of the first episode.
The guests met at the airport. Wen Tianzi first saw Yun Jie and another senior from the industry. After greeting them politely, she sat down, eagerly waiting.
When Dong Ling, wearing sunglasses, appeared in front of her, she instantly and confidently thought “My wife!” then seeing Song Mingzhi beside Dong Ling, she immediately retreated, no, someone else’s wife.
CEO Dong was truly thinner than she appeared on camera, thin and fair, probably half a head shorter than Song Mingzhi beside her.
As a CP fan, Wen Tianzi knew that Song Mingzhi was around 176cm tall, a true older sister figure, Dong Ling wasn’t short at 168cm, she was a long-legged beauty on her own, but next to Song Mingzhi, she seemed a bit petite.
Wen Tianzi screamed inwardly, if this wasn’t a perfect match, then what was?!
Dong Ling noticed the burning gaze from the side and looked towards its source, it was a sweet-looking girl, one of the guests for this variety show.
Dong Ling wasn’t very picky about the guests, whether they were famous or not didn’t matter, as long as they weren’t difficult and had decent characters.
So, regardless of their fame, the invited guests were all easy to get along with, each with their own personality, but not the troublemaking type.
The girl noticed her gaze and greeted her nervously, Dong Ling smiled politely at her and sat down beside Song Mingzhi.
“We’ll be boarding in about ten minutes, it might be a bumpy ride, that village is in the mountains, please let me know if you have any requests.”
The speaker was the general director in charge of this program, the production team and other staff members were waiting nearby.
Dong Ling, not short of money, had chartered a plane for the entire crew, all she wanted was a comfortable experience.
“Do you want a frozen pear? Xiao Tan just brought me a few.”
Song Mingzhi looked at the fruit in her bag and turned to ask her little girlfriend.
Dong Ling nodded and took a pear from Song Mingzhi’s hand, the purple-black frozen pear had thin skin and was full of juice, Dong Ling sucked on it, feeling very content.
But Dong Ling didn’t have much of an appetite and couldn’t finish the whole pear, so she gave it to her girlfriend, this was one of the perks of being in a relationship.
Song Mingzhi took the pear from Dong Ling, gave her a wet wipe, and took a small bite.
Their actions were intimate and natural, seemingly very close.
Yun Jie, who had seen all sorts of situations, maintained a polite smile, Long Ji was calm and indifferent, not paying much attention to other people’s relationships.
Tang Nuo was now a moderately famous supporting actress, and the person with her was Ran Lin, a more popular actress from the same company, who recently played a female lead.
They were veteran employees of Canghai Entertainment, having joined since the company was founded, and were very familiar with Song Mingzhi’s nickname, “Empress,” they even used it privately, after all, CEO Dong’s favoritism was obvious, the top actress was the top actress.
Wen Tianzi looked around, shocked, feeling like she had been directly fed a handful of sugar by her idols, and they even asked if it was enough, offering more if it wasn’t.
Sharing a pear! The same pear!
How could people who weren’t in a relationship do this? Even close friends wouldn’t do this.
And look at everyone around them, their calm and unsurprised expressions, this definitely wasn’t the first time!
Wen Tianzi was so excited she wanted to run laps around the airport, then grab a loudspeaker and tell all her sisters, no need to analyze and speculate anymore! We’re shipping real people!
This variety show was worth it, she had to thank her fans later, she would work hard and give a good performance.
Song Mingzhi, who was eating the pear, paused slightly, she was sensitive to other people’s gazes, so she noticed that one of the guests was staring at them, but there was no malice in that gaze, more excitement, especially when looking at her and Dong Ling, thinking of the girl’s status, Song Mingzhi figured she must be grateful to Dong Ling for this opportunity, and perhaps a fan of hers?
Song Mingzhi didn’t think too much about it, as long as it wasn’t negativity, it was fine. She dismissed the thought and focused on Dong Ling.
The journey to the filming location was quite long, they had to take a bus after getting off the plane, she had to let Dong Ling sleep for a while on the plane, Dong Ling hadn’t had enough sleep, she had wanted her to go to bed early last night, but the desensitized girl, with her sweet tooth, insisted she was fine, so she had to wake up early today and was already drowsy.
Dong Ling was truly sleepy and fell asleep as soon as she boarded the plane.
She shouldn’t have gotten carried away last night, but Song Mingzhi seemed to have learned new tricks, making her a little unrestrained, even begging her.
Dong Ling slept for a very long time and only woke up when the plane landed.
Then came the long bus ride, everyone, both guests and crew members, were exhausted after a day of travel.
But upon arriving at the small village in the mountains, their fatigue seemed to vanish.
This was indeed a beautiful place, the air fresh and clean, the climate mild, it felt comfortable even in the cold November weather.
The mountain path had railings, the small village only had a dozen or so families, mostly elderly people, there were many empty houses. The program team had already contacted the villagers and arranged accommodation, compensating them accordingly. The villagers had already cleaned the houses.
Dong Ling and Song Mingzhi stayed in a small house, with two bamboo beds in the same room, it was previously occupied by two sisters, after they started middle school, they left the village, then went to high school and university, rarely returning.
Song Mingzhi pushed the two bamboo beds together, sprayed them with disinfectant, and then put on clean sheets.
Dong Ling stood outside, watching the sunset, the house happened to be on the edge of the village, offering an unobstructed view, a cliff just a few hundred meters away. Dong Ling, afraid of heights, didn’t dare stand too close, just at the edge of the house.
Although this place was like a hidden paradise, its disadvantages were also obvious, poor signal, practically no internet, making modern people, heavily reliant on their phones, very uncomfortable.
Dong Ling was also a little frustrated seeing her phone with no signal, although this was within her expectations, it was still a little unsettling not being able to send messages.
Only a few people were indifferent to this, Yun Jie, not far away, leisurely watched a downloaded TV series, even inviting others to join her, Long Ji was mesmerized by the beautiful sunset, her fingers moving slightly beside her, as if playing music.
Song Mingzhi, after making the bed, took out the telescope she had prepared and started assembling and adjusting it in an open space.
“Wow, Mingzhi, why did you bring this?”
Since Song Mingzhi packed their luggage, Dong Ling didn’t know what she had brought.
“The terrain here is high, the clouds are thin, we can see the stars clearly at night.”
“Mingzhi, you’re amazing.”
Dong Ling knew Song Mingzhi was an astronomy enthusiast, she leaned closer to watch Song Mingzhi adjust the equipment, admiration in her eyes.
Song Mingzhi smiled and replied: “It’s very simple.”
“In my eyes, you’re amazing.”
Dong Ling put on a “I don’t care what others say” expression, my wife is the best in the world.
This made Song Mingzhi chuckle, the setting sun casting their shadows on the wall, a warm and cozy scene.
Dong Ling looked at her and Song Mingzhi’s shadows, glanced around, the crew members were a certain distance away, and there were no cameras rolling.
She and Song Mingzhi subtly adjusted their positions, making their shadows merge, they weren’t actually close to each other, but their shadows seemed to be kissing.
A mischievous smile appeared on Dong Ling’s face, she moved her shadow, making it sway from side to side next to Song Mingzhi’s, intertwining and separating.
After finishing adjusting the telescope, Song Mingzhi saw her girlfriend’s strange behavior, and only after turning her head to look at the shadows on the wall did she realize what she was doing, she also moved slightly, making her shadow lean forward, as if kissing Dong Ling’s shadow.
Dong Ling, seeing her little trick discovered, smiled at Song Mingzhi.
Wen Tianzi, who had been intently watching her CP, was grinning from ear to ear, was this something she could watch for free?!
