Immediately after that, the production team announced that the next recording for the next episode of the program would not happen so soon and would only take place in another two weeks. They had already filmed two episodes of the program and since each episode would be spilt into two parts before airing, they already had a month’s worth of broadcast for the variety show that would run once a week.
In fact, the long break was truly beneficial for the production team, who would once against have to scratch their heads and risk their hairlines just to come up with an even more difficult mission that would finally prove to be challenging enough for Jiang Yuning. What would they have to do to finally make Jiang Yuning waver even a little? The producers were really going to have hair loss problems!
After the recording, all the guests continued resting and recharging themselves at the accommodation near the supply station. The production team had initially arranged for a bus to pick up all the guests and drive them all the way back to Luo City later in the afternoon but before noon, a helicopter from Xiya Hotel suddenly arrived at the supply station to pick Jiang Yuning up.
It was only then that everyone suddenly remembered that Jiang Yuning was one of the major shareholders of Xiya Hotel.
Jiang Yuning was really very rich!
It only took a short while for the helicopter to arrive back at Luo City. When the helicopter landed on the helipad on top of Xiya Hotel, Vera was already waiting there for Jiang Yuning to arrive.
The medical staff offered to carry Jiang Yuning off the helicopter as soon as they arrived, but Jiang Yuning rejected their offer immediately.
At this time, Vera quickly stepped forward and supported Jiang Yuning as she helped her get off the helicopter. When Vera saw Jiang Yuning’s sunburnt skin and the blisters that were forming on it, her heart skipped a beat. “Looks like I really need to pray to all the gods to protect me now.”
“What’s wrong?” Jiang Yuning asked as she looked at Vera with a puzzled expression on her face.
“I think your second brother will shred me into pieces soon,” Vera replied as she sighed. “After all, I am the one who signed you up for the variety show in the first place.”
“Wow. I did not know that you would still have some fear in you,” Jiang Yuning replied as she smiled weakly.
After returning to the villa, Vera quickly put Jiang Yuning down on her bed before ensuring that she was comfortable so that she could rest well. Vera then sat by Jiang Yuning’s bed and watched over her because she could not help but feel guilty when she saw Jiang Yuning in this state.
Jiang Yuning was already exhausted from the entire day and night that she had spent in the desert. As soon as she lay down on her bed and sniffed second brother’s lingering smell on the bed, she closed her eyes and fell asleep immediately.
Later that evening, the sky was filled with streaks of red lines as the sun faded into the horizon. The sky and the sea at this time was indeed a very beautiful sight.
After entering the villa, Lu Jingzhi handed his suit jacket over to Sister Liang immediately and without even changing his shoes, he quickly ran upstairs and headed for the bedroom.
When Vera saw Lu Jingzhi entering the bedroom, she lowered her head immediately because she was afraid to face Lu Jingzhi with her guilty conscience.
“How is she?”
“The doctor has already seen her and he says that there was nothing to worry about. She has suffered a mild heatstroke and she is just too exhausted,” Vera replied hurriedly. “She fell asleep as soon as she lay down earlier this afternoon and she has been sleeping soundly ever since then.”
“Alright then. You can leave first,” Lu Jingzhi replied as he reached out his hand and touched Jiang Yuning’s face gently. He had not seen her for merely two days but he felt as though Jiang Yuning had lost so much weight and looked so fragile at that moment. What kind of hardship had she been put through in the last two days?
Vera nodded her head slightly before she quickly left the villa.
In fact, Vera was extremely glad to be leaving the villa as she wanted to preserve her own life! She decided that she would just come back to check on Jiang Yuning the next day.
…
When Lu Jingzhi received the text message from Xu Liangzhou earlier today, he was in the middle of a very important and draggy meeting. He had instructed Secretary Ho to immediately arrange for someone to pick Jiang Yuning up from the desert.
Although he stayed for the entire meeting, he felt very uneasy and was very worried about Jiang Yuning the entire day.
As Jiang Yuning was still sleeping soundly, Lu Jingzhi asked Sister Liang to prepare a basin of warm water for him. He then quickly inspected Jiang Yuning’s hands and legs for any injuries sustained this time. Fortunately, after his thorough inspection, Lu Jingzhi was relieved to discover that Jiang Yuning did not have any other injuries on her aside from her sunburn and some blisters.
Jiang Yuning was in such a deep sleep that she did not even know that someone was touching her. She continued sleeping soundly until she suddenly woke up when it was already past midnight.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she realized that she was already back home. When she saw Lu Jingzhi sitting on the sofa as he read through his documents, she was extremely elated. Even though he was already dressed in his pyjamas, Lu Jingzhi still looked so cool and handsome.
“Second brother…I want you to hug me…”
As soon as Lu Jingzhi heard Jiang Yuning’s soft and hoarse voice, he quickly placed down the paper in his hand before he got up and walked towards Jiang Yuning. However, he was afraid to hug her.
“Wouldn’t your sunburnt skin hurt if I touch you?”
“No. I can put some soothing balm on it later.” Jiang Yuning quickly shook her head as she looked at her sunburnt shoulder and arms. She may be the ace amongst the guests in the variety program but when she was back home with her husband, she wanted to show her weaker side and just be loved and protected by her husband. At this time, she was just a woman who was relying on her husband.
Lu Jingzhi could only sigh as he extended his hands out to her.
Jiang Yuning jumped into his arms immediately before she took a deep and satisfied breath. “Ah. It feels so good to be loved.”
At this time, no matter how complicated Lu Jingzhi’s emotions were, be it anger or distress towards Jiang Yuning, he could not help but smile when Jiang Yuning was acting coquettishly.
“Ask Vera to accompany you to the hospital tomorrow. Get some treatment for your sunburn. How can a female artiste not pay any attention to her own skin?”
“Okay!” Jiang Yuning nodded her head obediently.
Lu Jingzhi took the opportunity to rest his chin on top of Jiang Yuning’s head. He could not help but tighten his grip around her as he said, “You are always fully in control of my heart and my emotions.”
“Would someone who is doted on have any fear at all?”
Jiang Yuning kissed the man’s chin gently, in an attempt to appease him.
“So, are you already used to sleeping on your own now?”
“No!” Jiang Yuning replied immediately. “I have not been able to sleep soundly for the past two days!”
She could not sleep on the way to the desert island and even when they were spending the night at the accommodation by the supply station, she was unable to sleep well because of the other guests knocking on her bedroom door throughout the entire night.
“I want you to sleep by my side tonight!”
That was much better.
…
Early the next morning, Vera brought Jiang Yuning to the hospital to seek treatment for her sunburn. After that, Jiang Yuning decided to visit the female music composer so that she could continue writing her song.
Although Jiang Yuning had only written half of the song so far, she already knew what she was going to name the song. The title of the song would be <Holding Hearts>.
As they were driving back to the villa later that evening, Vera started informing Jiang Yuning about her subsequent work schedule. “The next episode of <Desert Island Rescue> will only be filmed in two weeks’ time and you will be officially attending the audition for <Nameless Orphan> on the coming Tuesday. Therefore, I hope that you will stay at home to rest well and recuperate for the next few days before your audition. I have already postponed all the other interviews and meetings with any endorsement companies that have approached us to collaborate with you. Oh! By the way, there is one very important matter that I have to discuss with you. This is regarding the international cosmetics brand that had contacted you even before you filmed for <Mysteries of Heaven> regarding appointing you as their brand ambassador. As they have already waited patiently for you for the past three months, I have arranged for you to meet up with the person in charge next Wednesday.”
“Okay, I got it.” Jiang Yuning nodded her head.
“The first episode of <Desert Island Rescue> will be broadcasted this coming Friday. I really hope that all the effort that you have put into this program will not go to waste.”
No matter what the outcome would be, Jiang Yuning really enjoyed the process of filming the variety show. Therefore, she had no regrets as she had a clear conscience.
Up to this day, Jiang Yuning was still being constantly reprimanded by the netizens because of the trailer that the production team had released, which showed Jiang Yuning choosing to take the most dangerous route even in the middle of the night.
Most of the netizens were of the opinion that Jiang Yuning had decided to take the dangerous route because she wanted more attention and focus on herself. They also berated her for being selfish and brainless.
As usual, the internet was filled with the netizens’ criticism of Jiang Yuning.
Fortunately for Jiang Yuning, the fan club that was now led by Xue Li was doing a good job even in the midst of all the criticism and negativity.
Even after being criticized repeatedly, Xue Li could still maintain order within the fan club. She had also arranged for the fans to help to dissipate the heat surrounding Jiang Yuning in a peaceful manner.
Our Sister Yuning has no brain?
Just wait to be amazed by her actions later!
After filming the second episode of <Desert Island Rescue> on the desert itself, the production team were even more excited for the first episode of the program to be broadcasted to the public.
They really did not know why those keyboard warriors were so keen on targeting and criticizing Jiang Yuning.
No matter what, the production team focused on producing promotional trailers and videos for the next few days until the first episode of <Desert Island Rescue> was finally aired at prime time on Friday night.
Jiang Yuning had not gone anywhere for the past few days and she had obediently stayed at home to regain her health and also to ensure complete recovery of her skin from the sunburn. As the show was about to begin, Jiang Yuning turned on the television before she placed a sheet of facial mask on her face and got ready to watch the show.
