Chapter 3 — Returning the Spotlight

There is no shortage of people like this in the entertainment world. They don't care what the truth is, they only care who the current hated person is. Once he knew that I was the name the whole world hated, he certainly wouldn't bother being polite to me. I smiled coldly, of course it's not easy to listen just to prove my innocence. "Okay. But I have one condition — As long as I get to the end of that road safely, you have to go that way again yourself once." The other employee smirked and made a "please feel free" gesture. I quickly observed and judged each foot position, and in just a few steps, I jumped quickly across that dangerous road. These things, for special forces soldiers, are just basic skills. I stood high up, looking down at the crowd below, all eyes looked at me with wide eyes in surprise. I pointed at the employee from before, the corner of my lips curled up into a meaningful smile: "You can't walk slower than me~" His face turned red, he hurriedly walked, as a result he stepped on the right place full of rubble, causing him to stagger, having to quickly grab the roots of a nearby tree to avoid slipping down like Pho Kieu Tieu. The whole scene was silent, no one spoke, no one stepped forward to help him. At this time, Chu Hai stood up to reconcile: "It's true that this road is a bit difficult to walk. And today everyone is not wearing specialized climbing shoes, so it's understandable that they will fall." He carefully walked over the broken stone, came to stand next to me, looked down at my normal canvas shoes with a puzzled look: "This road is not suitable for beginners. For safety's sake, everyone let's go back." I continued: "That's why I said, if you're going to the deep forest to explore, you have to have the right mindset. If you're physically weak, you should choose a simpler route, don't make others have to take on more trouble." Pho Kieu Tieu glared at me, was supported by the assistant, and staggered back to the campsite. Everyone finished cleaning up the mess and gradually returned to their working positions. I went down the slope, saw Chu Hai still moving carefully behind, and asked honestly: "Do you need a hand?" This scene was originally just a small episode, expected to be cut into the behind the scenes, but unexpectedly after editing, it was broadcast directly into the official version. The screen is full of bullets (flying comment): 【？？？ Honestly, even an expert like Chu Hai is not as good as So Thanh?】 【I don't believe it! This is definitely due to the program team "creating characters"!】 【Vice Kieu Tieu can't catch fish, can't even pick vegetables?】 【Hey above, my sister Tieu doesn't have the physical strength like So Thanh, and she's busy all day, how can she learn those survival skills!】 6 While busy with my work, I glanced at Chu Hai's group. Just now I saw how pitiful Chu Hai was - taking care of everything on his own, and now he also had to clean up the mess caused by Pho Kieu Tieu. Now, Pho Kieu Tieu is quietly lying in the recovery room, which seems to be less of a burden for him. — But I had just finished thinking that sentence when… A clattering sound of glass breaking, then a shrill scream rang out, interrupting my thoughts. Pho Kieu Tieu's assistant ran out of her room in panic: "There are snakes! There are snakes!!" Everyone's hearts immediately jumped into their throats. Anyway — if there really is a story about a star being bitten by a snake on a reality show, this show's career is probably over. Impossible! I haven't done anything yet, I can't let it end like this! I hurriedly ran to Pho Kieu Tieu's room. A small green snake wrapped tightly around her right leg, right where she had been injured. I was about to move closer when — Khuong Dien suddenly pulled me back. "So Thanh, you going in there will only make things more confusing! If you accidentally agitate the snake and it bites Pho Kieu Tieu, can you bear the responsibility?!" I glanced disdainfully and said coldly: "Singer Khuong, should I come in and try?" “This… has to be done by professionals, let's not cause more trouble.” I gently pushed, Khuong Dien staggered and hit his head on the edge of the door. Because of the movement on this side, the green snake immediately turned its head, its tongue sticking out, appearing to prepare to attack. I took that opportunity, rushed forward and grabbed the snake's head tightly. The snake's tail shook vigorously, but I held it tightly to prevent it from moving. Next to him, Chu Hai had already prepared and brought the snake bag. The two of us coordinated extremely well, like clouds flowing in water, and in just a few seconds we trapped the snake neatly in the bag. At this time, the employee holding the snake catcher gasped and ran to the room door. Khuong Dien now looked at me with... panicked eyes. 【……Whoa, if I remember correctly, Pho Kieu Tieu once posted on Weibo saying he would protect So Thanh, right?】 【You don't remember wrong. I just don't understand, So Thanh is so strong, why does he have to rely on "hidden rules" to play the main role?】 【So Thanh's ability to survive in the wild has nothing to do with acting. There's no contradiction between these two?】 【Hey above, even though I really don't like So Thanh, no one has ever criticized her acting, right?】 After the accident, Pho Kieu Tieu's first reaction was still — criticizing me. “So Thanh, you are so skillful at catching snakes, weren't you the one who released that snake into my room?!” The director frowned and immediately interrupted her blatant slander: "Miss Pho, there are cameras in front of each room's door. Furthermore, we have always been nearby, and have never seen Ms. So appear in your room area." “What if someone in the program team colluded with her?!” "Miss--!" At this moment, the previously dedicated cameraman put down the camera and angrily tried to step up to argue. I quickly took a step forward and stopped: "Miss Pho, when choosing a place to live, didn't you consider anything? Near water sources, it's damp and cold, which easily attracts snakes. Who knows, right under the pillow you're lying on, there might be one too!" Pho Kieu Tieu's whole body immediately stiffened. “Ah——!!!” She jumped up, screaming and rushed towards Khuong Dien. Khuong Dien couldn't help but cry and laugh when he was pushed. Pushing him away wasn't right, but not pushing him away was strange. After the incident, the director's team considered that they could not let the guests continue to be in danger, so they decided: Khuong Dien's group would move in with my group - women in a separate room, men in a separate room. I packed my bag and prepared to find a safe place to release the snake back into the wild. But at that moment, Pho Kieu Tieu no longer looked as scared as before. He gritted his teeth and glared at the bag in my hand: "Where is that snake? Give it to me, I have to." smash it to death!” I didn't hide the disgust on my face, hid the bag of snakes behind my back, and coldly replied: "We're clearly violating its territory, don't be so ruthless in your actions." I imitated Tra Hy Hy, smiling harmlessly like an angel: "Seeing that you guys have been fishing all this time for nothing, you must be craving for food, right? Hey, give me one.” The corner of Khuong Dien's mouth twitched twice, then, like Pho Kieu Tieu, turned and left. I raised my hand to rub the corner of my lips, feeling something was wrong. Why is it that when Tra Hy Hy smiles, people's hearts flutter, but when I smile... it scares Khuong Dien away? 【Hahaha, can't pick vegetables, can't catch fish, Khuong Dien looks so cute!】 【Suddenly remembered that I used to push the boat with the couple, now this "dark couple" is cute in a different way...】 Thin and weak, low life skills, considers himself noble, doesn't say much but his facial expression makes people guess - that's my impression of Khuong Dien. Based on that form, do you dare to step on my sister to climb to your current position?
