Chapter 2 — Returning the Spotlight

3 Khuong Dien interrupted the secretly tense war between the parties. Under his signal, the director team finally began to do their job properly. Only then did I suddenly remember who was the man accompanying Pho Kieu Tieu. Having said that, when So Thanh was turned away by the entire social network, he also contributed a lot. Thanks to her love and understanding of acting, So Thanh easily won the female lead role. And Pho Kieu Tieu was the only one eliminated. Since then, rumors began to appear on the internet: So Thanh used hidden rules to take this role. Not long after the movie aired, it immediately created a wave of high temperatures. The number of fans pairing male lead Khuong Dien and female lead So Thanh is increasing. However, when the company promoted the creation of couples, they neglected to discuss it with Khuong Dien in advance, not knowing that Khuong Dien absolutely hated pairing for tricks. When he learned that he was being dragged into a publicity stunt, and that the target was likely someone who used "hidden rules" to get promoted, Khuong Dien immediately posted a denial of the couple, even openly and implicitly: he is extremely disgusted with people who rely on "hidden rules" to become famous. Since then, Khuong Dien has become more and more famous, and So Thanh's anti-fans have also become more and more numerous. Not to mention behind there is Pho Kieu Tieu and her fans constantly adding fuel to the fire. I laughed coldly: "Khuong Dien, right? Because you want to keep your "clean" reputation, you quickly accuse a woman based only on rumors? It seems your reputation is not clean at all." 4 Khuong Dien's physical strength was superior to Muc Cuu Tri. In the captain selection competition, the two of them faced each other, and there was no surprise - Khuong Dien won. He without hesitation chose adventure experts Chu Hai and Pho Kieu Tieu to join his team. I teamed up with Tra Hy Hy and Muc Cuu Tri, who still didn't have much spirit to participate. When choosing a house to live in, unable to stand Pho Kieu Tieu's soft and persistent pleading, Chu Hai had to give up the small house that was a bit messy but located on flat ground, and finally chose a clean house by the river. Actually, Chu Hai and I had our eyes on that house: clear view, safe and easy to control, far from water sources - not too wet, clearly the most ideal place to live in the mountains and forests. But at that moment, Pho Kieu Tieu pointed to the river, happily turned to the camera and shouted: "Wow! There are fish in the river! Tonight we can also eat grilled fish~" "Director, if we catch fish, do we have to share it with Thanh Thanh's group? Because we are not very good, I guess we are lucky to catch enough to eat for our group~" The director team replied: no need to share. All cameras at that time were facing Khuong Dien and Pho Kieu Tieu. The conversation where I was the one being mentioned... but it had nothing to do with me. Me, Tra Hy Hy and Muc Cuu Tri divided the tasks very clearly. I went up the mountain alone to find food. The two of them stayed behind to clean up the place. No one noticed me leaving. I followed a dangerous path, often used by local people. Sure enough, along the way there were not only many edible wild vegetables, but also wild rose plants with very high medicinal value. I carefully picked one little, put it in the basket, bring a basket full of ingredients back. Unexpectedly — Pho Kieu Tieu and Khuong Dien were standing in front of our house... 5 Pho Kieu Tieu smiled gently at me, but I just walked straight past her. She didn't know what to do and grabbed my hand and pulled me back. While frowning, she looked worried and asked: "Thanh Thanh, why are you running around alone? This is not a city, if you are in danger, won't you cause trouble for others?" I turned my head to look at the camera crew who was quietly following, just smiled faintly and shook my head sarcastically. I saw that the staff members also showed obvious discomfort after her statement. Pho Kieu Tieu always plays sisterly love with So Thanh whenever the camera is on, but for me - whatever I do, I don't have time. I immediately pulled my hand away from her. “If you're free, go help Chu Hai.” "Thanh Thanh, I'm just worried about you..." "Is that so? We were going to find some food, where did you pick this basket of vegetables?" I raised my hand and pointed to the path leading down to the wild rose forest. 【Oh my god, what's with So Thanh's attitude? Tieu Tieu only cares about her, why is he so cold?】 【Humph! The camera wasn't filming from the beginning, who knows if she picked those vegetables herself, or asked someone else?】 At that time, Pho Kieu Tieu turned to Khuong Dien to act coyly: "Brother Dien, fish are so difficult to catch... Look how Thanh Thanh picked so many vegetables, or should we go pick some too? I have the ingredients, I'll cook them for you, I'm sure the taste will be as good as the restaurant~" Fan: 【Hu hu hu, Ms. Tieu's cooking skills can't be hidden anymore~】 One of Pho Kieu Tieu's "setting characters": Great chef. Whether on reality shows or interviews, she always takes the opportunity to show off her cooking skills, and today, of course, is no exception. I deliberately left a small path leading into the wild rose forest, but that path... is not easy to follow. Before I could put the vegetable basket down, I heard a panicked scream, then the sound of running, and then something heavy fell to the ground. I calmly started taking each vegetable in the basket and folding it neatly. Tra Hy Hy walked out of the house and glanced at me. Waiting until most people ran over to see what was happening, I slowly walked back... stood and watched the fun. Pho Kieu Tieu's whole body was covered in mud and was pulled up from the pit. As soon as she saw me coming, she immediately angrily pointed her finger at me: "So Thanh, did you deliberately show me this damn path?!" Khuong Dien standing next to him did not have an attractive face, one long sleeve was torn, the lower half of his body was covered in mud and dry leaves. The filming crew was extremely "concerned" and quickly pointed the lens straight at me. I opened my mouth, pretended to be confused, and responded to her accusation: "What are you talking about, Tieu Tieu? Just now with your own eyes you saw me coming up from that road, and then I brought the whole basket of vegetables back here, right?" However, Pho Kieu Tieu still aggressively refused to give up: "You must have taken another safer route, then deliberately showed me such a dangerous path!" At this time, there was an employee who could no longer stand Pho Kieu Tieu's pathetic dirty appearance and spoke up with a "timely criticism": "Miss So Thanh, this is a program." When exploring deep forests, the most important thing is to support each other. If you really know an easy path, you should share it with the whole group, not show your teammates such a dangerous path." I turned around to face him and coldly responded: "What if I really go that route?" As I spoke, I looked straight into his eyes. I also didn't forget — he said it himself before that "the food doesn't need to be shared with the other group". The employee was made to feel guilty by my eyes, but still stiffened his neck, scanning me from top to bottom with a disdainful look: "Then if you have the bravery, walk around in front of the camera once!"
