The Fake Director obediently gave Tang Shiba a lighter after all.
She walked away humming, utterly delighted.
The Fake Director glared at her retreating back.
Damn that woman. How did she know he had AIDS? If word got out, he would be kicked out.
Hehe, Zhao Tiantian was done for.
As she passed Si Wuyu, he heard her thoughts again.
That Fake Director had AIDS, and Zhao Tiantian just slept with him.
Si Wuyu was shocked! First syphilis, now AIDS. This place was far too dangerous!
His piercing gaze settled on Fang Cheng, and he warned him solemnly, "Don't go eating just any filthy thing. If you want some, have your mother find you someone clean when you get home."
Fang Cheng found his brother's words rather baffling. Hungry, he urged him to hurry up and make something to eat.
With the lighter in hand, Tang Shiba started grilling her fish. Though she had no seasonings, the aroma still drew Tang Xueqing over.
She walked up as if it were only natural and asked Tang Shiba to give her one.
Tang Shiba ignored her, picking one up and starting to eat.
"If you want some, go find your own."
"Shiba, we came here together, and I'm your little sister. How can you eat everything yourself and ignore me?"
As she spoke, Tang Xueqing burst into tears. Seeing this, Zhao Shen and Zhao Tiantian hurried over to comfort her.
"What's going on?"
"Shiba has food, but she won't give me any. It's my fault. I upset her earlier, and she's still holding it against me."
"What? Tang Shiba, you've gone too far! You clearly have food, so why won't you give your sister any?"
"She hasn't eaten all day. Is this how you treat your little sister?"
Facing their accusations, Tang Shiba said calmly, "She didn't help catch the fish. If she wants to eat, she can get her own. She's not a one-year-old who needs me to look after her."
Heh, trying to guilt-trip me? Not a chance. I've sealed off even the tiniest opening.
"She's your little sister. Aren't you supposed to take care of her?"
Zhao Tiantian reached for the fish, but Tang Shiba dodged her. Furious, she tried to snatch it.
"Give it to her already."
Clutching her fish, Tang Shiba nimbly dodged her again and gleefully pulled a face.
"Nope! What are you going to do about it? Nah-nah-nah!"
As viewers watched this unfold, the livestream's audience count shot up.
[Is this A Loving Family? More like a family at each other's throats!]
[Ah, that little bitch Tang Shiba won't even give our darling any fish! She's so selfish.]
[Why did they let a nobody like her onto this variety show? She's ruining the whole atmosphere. Absolutely disgusting.]
[Boycott this nobody. No character, no manners, no redeeming qualities whatsoever.]
[Everyone in the livestream, see you at the Airport in seven days. Sign up if you want to beat up Tang Shiba.]
[Count me in. A bitch like her deserves to be ridden by a thousand men and cursed by ten thousand.]
With the haters stirring things up, Tang Shiba's reputation sank even lower, and more and more viewers joined in condemning her.
Having failed to get any fish, Tang Xueqing shamelessly went to mooch off the Film Emperor and his brother.
"Would you two mind letting me share your meal? My sister won't look after me, and I really don't know what else to do."
Her pitiful appearance tugged at Fang Cheng's heart, leaving him rather displeased with Tang Shiba.
He handed Tang Xueqing his own portion and ate two Sea Snails instead.
He was a man. Missing one meal wouldn't hurt.
Tang Xueqing accepted it delightedly, looking shyly at the Film Emperor.
"Thank you."
"You should be thanking my brother," Si Wuyu said coldly. "He gathered the portion he gave you, not me."
"Come on, she has it hard enough already. Don't pick on her."
Eating the bland seafood, Tang Xueqing's eyes brimmed with tears. "You don't seem to like me. I don't know what I've done to offend you."
Fang Cheng quickly explained, "My brother's just like that. Don't overthink it."
"Okay. Thank you."
Tang Xueqing's sweet, well-behaved demeanor stirred a strange feeling in Fang Cheng's heart.
He wanted to keep protecting her like this forever.
After finishing his food, Si Wuyu saw Tang Shiba enter the little grove.
Another figure slipped after her furtively.
He frowned. He shouldn't have interfered, but after considering it, he got up and followed anyway.
"Don't follow me. I'm going to the bathroom."
The cameraman couldn't be bothered to follow him either. It was late at night, after all, and the Woods weren't safe.
"Hehe, little bitch. I've finally got you."
Tang Shiba was about to relieve herself when a dark figure grabbed her and pinned her down. A heavy perfume smell assaulted her nose and mouth.
It made her want to throw up.
She struggled with her arms and legs. "Let go of me, you fucking bastard!"
Zhao Shen's eyes were full of lust as he held Tang Shiba down and reached to tear at her clothes.
"Let you go? Tang Shiba, you're just a nobody. Be a good girl and give in, and I'll let you keep working in showbiz. Otherwise..."
Ah!!! I'm going to lose my mind! I only came to use the bathroom. How did I end up running into this scumbag?
This Zhao Shen not only has bad breath, he can barely last a second. He sleeps around just to make people think he's amazing in bed.
But he can't even measure up to a toy poodle. At least those things will hump anything. Zhao Shen might as well call himself a limp cucumber.
For fuck's sake! You dare touch me? I'll turn you into a eunuch.
Hearing her thoughts, Si Wuyu quickened his pace and finally spotted the two struggling on the pitch-black ground.
Anger surged inside him. He rushed over and kicked Zhao Shen away.
Tang Shiba had only been pinned down because she'd failed to react in time. Now she sprang up and kicked him twice in the crotch.
"Aah!" His doglike howl startled the animals in the Woods, and a snake suddenly darted across Zhao Shen's neck.
Terrified, he howled wildly and ran off clutching his crotch.
"Pah! Scumbag. There won't be a next time."
Tang Shiba spat, then remembered someone else was there. Turning toward him, she made out a man's sharply defined face in the dimness.
"Si Wuyu?"
"Mm."
His quiet response put Tang Shiba at ease.
Si Wuyu was a pervert too, but he hadn't started dating the female lead yet, so his brain still worked normally.
"Thank you. Could you wait for me a moment? I'm afraid that creep will come back and bother me."
She couldn't hold it any longer.
Ah! Hurry, hurry, hurry! My bladder's going to burst. I need to pee!
Hearing that, Si Wuyu turned his back awkwardly, the tips of his ears turning red.
This woman's thoughts were far too uninhibited.
What made it even harder for him was that he could hear every single thought Tang Shiba had.
Ah!!! That felt so good.
Si Wuyu's face turned red too.
That sound, that tone... why did it sound like she was moaning during that?
After relieving herself, Tang Shiba looked perfectly composed and asked kindly, "You came to use the bathroom too, right? Go ahead. I'll keep watch."
Having taken turns helping each other, they walked out of the grove one behind the other.
The moment they emerged, they heard Zhao Shen's doglike howling.
"Ah!!! It hurts so much! It must be broken! I'll make Tang Shiba pay with her life!"
Seeing Tang Shiba and Si Wuyu emerge one after the other, Tang Xueqing's eyes reddened with jealousy.
That bitch. When had she hooked up with Si Wuyu?
Meanwhile, Zhao Tiantian had already charged over, declaring that she would tear Tang Shiba apart.
"Tang Shiba, you little bitch! You ruined my brother's manhood with those kicks! I'll make you pay!"
