Chapter 55: Chi Mo 9

Tan You was a bit of a country bumpkin; even in Han Tingting's world, she had never flown on a plane, though she had watched Han Tingting fly all over the place later on.

Now that she was experiencing it firsthand, Tan You found it very novel. Gao Jing's eyes kept drifting toward the window while looking at Tan You, so she suggested, "Shall we change seats?"

Tan You hesitated, "Would that be inconvenient?"

Gao Jing teased, "Not at all. I got bored of flying years ago; I'm dying to switch. Have you never flown before?"

Tan You felt a bit embarrassed. "No, I haven't. My social circle used to be too small."

Gao Jing was very hearty. "Then we definitely need to broaden our horizons so we don't get tricked by a man's little trinkets."

Thinking of how Xu Jike later took Chi Mo bungee jumping and tried various extreme sports, Tan You suddenly smiled. "Exactly. We should see more of the world. Once our vision is broadened, we won't care about what others have to offer."

Gao Jing high-fived her. "That's the spirit! I heard there's skiing around here. Shall we go play later?"

Tan You: "Sure! Let's call Wenwen and Lin Meng. The more people, the more fun."

Zhou Wenwen took off her eye mask. "I heard that! Let's go together later. I can ice skate; shall we go skating together?"

Lin Meng: "Sounds good! Carry me along then, I don't know how to do anything."

Tan You blinked. "I don't know how to do anything either."

Gao Jing said enthusiastically, "Not knowing doesn't stop us from playing. Who says rookies can't enjoy these things?"

The female guests got along so well that watching them was a pleasure. Moreover, the variety show itself was centered on a warm and healing vibe; watching constant drama and fighting would eventually become tiresome.

Gao Jing looked forward to something. "This cold weather is perfect for hot springs. Let's go soak in a hot spring together once the filming is over."

If we're talking about who knows how to have fun, none of them combined could compare to Gao Jing. Tan You, of course, didn't object. She enjoyed being around extroverted and lively people because it was relaxing enough.

Zhou Wenwen and Lin Meng naturally didn't object either, and soon, a series of itineraries were arranged for after the filming ended.

Zhou Wenwen sighed, "It's a pity I still have classes at school, so I can't stay away for too long."

Lin Meng also sighed, "Me too."

Tan You didn't want to stir up envy. While she didn't have to go back to work, she did have tasks. During the filming period, she had to master her dance routines, which was quite a heavy workload.

They arrived in H Province at noon. No one made the mistake of a novice; as they exited the airport, everyone was fully armored. Tan You was wrapped up so much that only her eyes were visible.

"Are we going skiing this afternoon? There's a ski resort near the guesthouse." Once they were on the bus, the director began to cue the schedule. Although it was branded as a dating show, the production team also had a mission: to promote these filming locations and contribute to the tourism industry.

"I have no objection." Gao Jing was the first to state her position, and naturally, no one wanted to spoil the mood once she had spoken. Tan You was even less likely to object; she felt fine, and she was happy to finally see more of the world.

Among this group, only Xu Jike knew how to ski. Upon hearing the director mention skiing, he looked eager to try; he could teach Chi Mo later.

Unfortunately, despite his careful planning, would Tan You give him the chance? As soon as they reached the ski resort, she, Gao Jing, and the others each found their own instructors, resolutely denying Xu Jike any opportunity to show off his charms.

Xu Jike gritted his teeth. Was he some kind of monster? Was it necessary to avoid him like this? However, he possessed the grace expected of an adult, so he naturally wouldn't force himself upon them at this moment.

This was exactly what Tan You wanted. When people come out to play, they should just be happy; there's no need to constantly bring up love and romance.

Tan You herself was not particularly athletic. Although she had an excellent memory, she still fell whenever she was supposed to, and her falling postures were different every single time.

Eventually, almost everyone in the area was spectating Tan You's various styles of falling. There were those who would slide out suddenly and bounce back after hitting the barrier, and those who would land hard on their butts.

There were side falls, and even more absurdly, once Tan You dove face-first into a snowdrift. By the time Gao Jing, Zhou Wenwen, and Lin Meng dug her out, Tan You had already reached a state of Zen.

Shaking the snow off her body, Tan You waved her hand. "Forget it, I'm done. I'll just watch you guys play."

She could already hear many people laughing. Did they really think she was that thick-skinned?

Zhou Wenwen tried to suppress her laughter, but she simply couldn't. Tan You said expressionlessly, "If you want to laugh, go ahead. It won't make a difference if a few more of you join in."

Because she was certain these moments wouldn't make it into the final edit, Tan You felt no psychological burden. Besides, who doesn't fall when they first start skiing? This was a normal phenomenon.

Not only were the guests laughing, but the production crew was also laughing incessantly. The cameraman following Chi Mo was particularly mischievous, capturing all of Chi Mo's various expressions and gestures.

Even in these comedic scenes, the cameraman felt Chi Mo was exceptionally beautiful. Especially when Chi Mo was shouting for people to get out of the way, it didn't diminish her beauty; instead, it made her look more vibrant and real.

The director had already planned it out: Chi Mo's segment must be included in the final cut. There are too many "cold and aloof" beauties these days, but a beauty who is so down-to-earth is rare; it would definitely be a breath of fresh air.

After giving up on skiing, Tan You stood quietly to the side. She had completely abandoned the sport. Some people, even if they change bodies, are simply born with poor athletic nerves.

With Tan You no longer playing, everyone felt the fun had diminished somewhat. Well, although that was a bit mean, Tan You had indeed contributed many laughs just now.

Zhou Wenwen had also given up early. "Let's go ice skating later."

Tan You: "Sure. I just hope I don't fall as miserably as that. Even though it doesn't hurt, it's a bit embarrassing."

Zhou Wenwen couldn't help but laugh. "Don't worry. If it really doesn't work out, I'll push you across the ice."

Tan You: "Great! Let's set a time to go together later."

After playing at the ski resort for a few hours, as dusk began to fall, the production team arranged to take everyone back to the guesthouse. Thinking about being able to soak in a hot spring after dinner, Tan You's steps became much lighter.

Perhaps because they had skied together in the afternoon, the guests were much more talkative, though Tan You was always the most silent. Strangely, everyone felt she was wonderful this way, because whenever someone spoke, she would look at them and provide feedback.

Since it was a dating show, cooking was inevitable. Since ancient times, the kitchen has been a strategic battlefield in dating shows, and this was no exception. For instance, Tan You could tell that Xiang Zhe had feelings for Gao Jing; since he was cooking with Gao Jing in the kitchen, Tan You wouldn't be tactless enough to disturb them.
