Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback! - Chapter 214

Chapter 214: Chapter 214: The Last Day Chapter 214: Chapter 214: The Last Day Director Sun fell silent for a second.

“You know, you’re right.”

Jiang Li: “….”

Now, even the audience began to protest.

[How is it Jiang Li again? How many favors did Jiang Li give the production team?]
[Are some people watching the variety show without their brains? It’s obvious that the production team is stirring things up on purpose.]
[Who knows if it’s really on purpose or just pretended, the King has always been Jiang Li, I’m tired of her even if she isn’t.]
Director Sun cleared his throat and stood up.

“Well… you should know the process by now, right? I don’t need to explain it again, do I?”

Jiang Li smiled, “If Director Sun wants to explain, it’s not like it’s not an option.”

Director Sun: “….”

Great, dug myself another hole.

Director Sun, with a poker face, spent two minutes reciting the rules once again, and then he looked at Jiang Li with a smile.

“Now, Comrade Jiang Li, you can guess who is your guard for today.”

“Who is my guard?” Jiang Li repeated Director Sun’s words and blinked lightly.

[This is not simple, Mr. He and Wen Jiaojiao have already been guards, it’s now one of the two remaining choices.]
[Disperse, disperse, poor Jiang Yan is going to lose five good scores again.]
[I can’t stop laughing, young master Shaojing is still trudging along the road tired as hell, not yet home, and the bad news is already out.]
However, on the other side, Jiang Yan, rushing back against the setting sun, felt his pocket vibrate suddenly.

His pale face pulled out the old flip phone, opened the interface with no expectations, but his eyes widened at the sight of the message.

—-“Jiang Yan, congratulations on winning the King’s Game! Five good scores have been credited to your account!”

In an instant, Jiang Yan, who was close to being down and out, sprang back to life and started jumping around on the ridge with a face full of joy.

“Ha ha ha, that dumb woman Jiang Li really didn’t guess it was me!”

All the efforts of the day were not in vain!

When he gets back, he’s definitely going to mock her good!

At the same time, on the other side of the village.

President Shang, who had just finished a company call, turned his head to see several staff members, all “armed” up, sneaking towards him.

He couldn’t help frowning.

“What’s this about?”

President Shang didn’t understand the situation, but the audience in front of the screen sure did.

[I don’t even need to look to know it’s the “King’s Game” segment now.]
[However, I thought the last day’s guard would be Shu Yan. I didn’t expect President Shang was selected.]
[Waaaah, the person President Shang has to guard isn’t Wenwen, is it? If that’s the case, it’s too perfect for shipping.]
[Calm down, it can’t be Su Yinwan, I’d bet all my future happiness that the box is filled with cards that only have Jiang Li’s name.]
As expected, after understanding the rules of this segment, President Shang emotionlessly reached into the lottery box.

When he pulled his hand out again, there was an extra card in his palm.

On it were written two characters prominently — “Jiang Li”.

President Shang looked surprised for a moment, but then he regained his composure.

“Okay, I got it, you can go.”

And then he slipped the card into his shirt pocket.

A night of good dreams.

Time in the little mountain village passed slowly, or swiftly–it was hard to say, but before they knew it, the last day of their agreed stay had arrived.

Perhaps knowing that the visitors from beyond the mountains were leaving soon, the heavens graced them with perfect weather today.

Not only was the sky clear and cloudless, but the weather was also comfortably cool–not the typical sweltering heat–with a hint of chill in the summer breeze, refreshing to the core.

The group still got up on time to follow Jiang Li for morning training as usual.

Without the incentive of tasks, nobody managed to rouse Jiang Yan.

Even when Wen Jiaojiao fanned Richards’ face frantically, he remained completely indifferent.

In the end, they all gave up and followed Jiang Li out without him.

After all, those who skipped morning training didn’t get breakfast, so later on, no matter how Jiang Yan acted up, they wouldn’t care.

The three of them first stood by the small river and followed Jiang Li in performing a set of boxing moves, then ran a lap around the field ridges with her.

The morning training camera PD was on top of his game. Not only did he capture each shot just right, but he even made sure not to miss the roadside scenery. Each flower and blade of grass seemed to come alive with the sweep of the camera.

[I really didn’t regret setting my alarm to watch this on time. The cameraman is so professional, the seamless transitions are making me feel so relaxed.]
[Sob sob sob, it’s a pity that today is a workday. I can only watch for a bit before heading to that darn job.]
[No worries, last time I was in my boss’s office, I saw them watching this reality show too. Suddenly, I felt totally justified in slacking off.]
[Hey, did anyone else notice how especially silent everyone is today? Could it be because they’re sad about leaving?]
[Absolutely, but thinking about it, they’ve been through so much together. It’s normal to have formed attachments. Anyone would find it hard to leave.]
[Ah, is it already the last day? Sob sob sob, I haven’t had enough. Director Sun, I’m not cursing you anymore; I’m kneeling down and begging you to keep filming forever!]
All four of them were indeed more silent today.

Perhaps because they all knew from early on that the shooting was about to wrap up, each one’s face was more or less clouded with sorrow, and they mutually agreed to fall into a quiet mood.

He Yun and Shu Yan, both seasoned actors, naturally did not show too much emotion.

Jiang Li always took partings in stride and did not feel anything out of the ordinary today.

Only Wen Jiaojiao found herself running sadder and sadder until she finally squatted by the river and burst into tears with a loud “Waah.”

Shu Yan was terrified and quickly went to check on her.

“Jiaojiao, are you okay? Did you twist your ankle?”

Wen Jiaojiao wiped away her tears and shook her head.

“Then did you get hurt somewhere?”

Again, Wen Jiaojiao sniffled and shook her head.

“She’s just sad about leaving you guys,” Jiang Li’s voice suddenly cut in, revealing Wen Jiaojiao’s vulnerable thoughts.

This made Wen Jiaojiao lose control even more, and with a loud cry, she flung herself into Jiang Li’s arms.

“Lili, it’s not like you’ll stop recognizing me as your friend just because we’re not leaving here, right?” She gasped between sobs, “I didn’t want to cry, but the more I thought about it, the sadder I got. I’ve always hated goodbyes since I was little. Every time I finally get comfortable with a relationship or a place, soon after, I have to switch to another.”

Seeing that Jiang Li was unmoved, even stiffening up a bit, she cried even harder.

“You won’t despise me, will you? I’m telling the truth, sob sob sob.”

[Sob sob sob sob, damn it, Princess, please don’t cry. You’re making me tear up too.]
[To be honest, this is the most emotionally impactful moment I’ve seen from the Princess on screen. I suggest saving this and looping it indefinitely.]
[Help, this is torture for someone with low tear tolerance.]
[Although Wen Jiaojiao’s temper really is a bit much for most people, she’s quite genuine. She says what’s on her mind, which sometimes makes being friends with her quite relaxing.]
