The Chinese Spirit's Family Rescue Adventure

Chapter 8: Chapter 8: Wen Chi's Fate



Suisui swore that she didn't go into the house to sleep!

First, she ran to the iPad and played the poking game for a while;

When she was tired of playing, she peeled oranges to eat and deliberately left two for the predestined person to show her concern;

Then she remembered the predestined person's injured foot, so she squeezed the juice from the orchid grass and dropped it into the clear water, preparing to give it to the predestined person to drink. She had always done this when she encountered injured small animals in the mountains;

And then...

Suisui was sleepy.

Seeing the soft quilt, she was instantly "bought off". She staggered and "floated" into the bedroom, plunged her head into the bed, and fell asleep in seconds.

However, she didn't sleep very soundly.

Usually, Suisui seldom had dreams. For a little spirit like her, who was full of spiritual energy and had a strong sense of the Heavenly Dao, dreams were more like revelations.

This time, sleeping on Wen Chi's bed, the dream she had was naturally related to Wen Chi —

Wen Chi was having a really tough time. Under the persuasion of his agent Xia Kai, he reluctantly agreed to participate in a variety show called "Starting from Scratch in Peach Blossom Spring".

Xia Kai's original intention was good. He was very optimistic about this show and hoped to use the power of the variety show to help Wen Chi clarify the rumors.

When the show first aired, the effect was bloody brilliant. The guests worked hard and were real and unpretentious. It was obvious that there was no script behind the scenes. Among a bunch of variety shows that relied on scripts, it was like a breath of fresh air.

The popularity soared, and the guests more or less tasted the benefits.

Only Wen Chi didn't go smoothly. He didn't know anything about farming and cooking. He couldn't even tell the difference between leeks and scallions. In the eyes of the viewers, he was a bloody useless person who couldn't do anything. Many people looked down on him.

But at first, only a small number of anti-fans were cursing. Outsiders didn't pay much attention.

The turning point came when an authoritative media published a news article. The reporter's words were sharp, criticizing the chaos in the entertainment industry, saying that many stars were getting high salaries but couldn't even do their jobs well and were slacking off when filming variety shows.

That's right. The "slacking off when filming variety shows" was referring to Wen Chi.

Being regarded as a negative example by the authoritative media, Wen Chi's already low reputation plummeted directly into the Mariana Trench.

For a time, the public's 反感 towards the unprofessional stars in the circle all rushed towards Wen Chi.

They either downloaded the live broadcast room and specifically went to the barrage to curse Wen Chi;

Or they took a magnifying glass to scrutinize every move of Wen Chi and overinterpret every word he said;

Wen Chi and the people around him received countless text messages of curses and death threats every day.

This scale was simply a national cyberbullying!

[Brother! If you don't have the ability, don't do this job! Are you here to make a fool of yourself on the show? Idiot!]

[You're such a waste. Living in this world is just a waste of air and food!]

[You're so bloody calculating and thick-skinned. Does your backer know what kind of person you are?]

[You're such a scourge. Staying in this world is just a disgrace to your whole family! It would be better if you died earlier and got some peace!]

[Wen Chi, go to hell!]

Wen Chi pretended to be calm on the surface and didn't look at the negative comments, but in his heart, he was burning with anxiety and wanted to do something to fight back with his strength.

The more anxious he was, the worse he did;

The worse he did, the more fiercely the viewers cursed;

The more fiercely the viewers cursed, the more anxious he became...

Finally, a vicious cycle formed. The negative emotions overwhelmed Wen Chi, who was already suffering from severe depression, and he became more and more depressed and thinner.

Gradly, Wen Chi became silent and passive towards his tasks. He sat outside the small thatched cottage all day long, staring blankly at the sky.

Whether the viewers cursed, the program team urged, or the agent begged bitterly, he remained indifferent and completely slackened off.

This attitude affected the reputation of the program, and the playback volume dropped sharply. Even the director and other guests were affected.

Just when the director was considering whether to let Wen Chi leave the show.

One day, a very ordinary day.

Wen Chi finished breakfast and walked to the cliff near the small thatched cottage. He stood there for a while, and then, without hesitation, he jumped down.

The rolling white mist swallowed his figure.

Wen Chi committed suicide.

He didn't even leave a suicide note.

And in this dream, Suisui didn't appear from beginning to end.

At the same time.

Xia Kai rushed into the courtyard rented by the program team as the filming headquarters.

It was dark, and there were still two hours left before the filming ended. There were a lot of staff coming and going.

But when they saw Xia Kai, they all deliberately or unintentionally avoided his eyes.

Xia Kai had a kind doll face, but in terms of his figure, he was a real muscle man. When he stood there expressionless, he looked a bit scary.

"Where's Director Jian?" There was no answer around.

After a while, the assistant director was pushed out by the crowd.

He slowly moved over, glanced at Xia Kai's 发达的肱二头肌,and forced a smile.

"Xia Kai, don't be impatient. Isn't everything okay now?"

"Okay? My Wen Chi almost fainted!" Xia Kai slapped his phone, a bit excited.

The assistant director quickly comforted him: "But he has recovered now. The cameras are all filming! Don't worry!"

Xia Kai: "Do you have to wait until he really faints? His condition was obviously not right just now. He must be sent to the hospital for a detailed examination immediately!"

The assistant director looked embarrassed: "Xia Kai, it's really not that we're targeting you. The main thing is that the rules are here. If we take Wen Chi out midway, it won't be fair to the other guests! Besides, before the filming started, we said that if there was a need for help, we should make gestures in front of the camera. Look, Wen Chi didn't ask for help, did he?"

In the assistant director's opinion, Xia Kai was making a mountain out of a molehill.

The ideas of the surrounding staff were similar to those of the assistant director. They all thought that Xia Kai was being overly dramatic. Some people even muttered to themselves that Wen Chi, the former top star, really liked to put on airs.

Xia Kai was furious inside, but he couldn't tell the real reason —

He was anxious because he knew that Wen Chi had depression and had been seeing a psychologist.

He really wanted to help Wen Chi turn things around through the variety show, but never at the cost of Wen Chi's health!

There was nothing he could do. Xia Kai had to ask: "Where's Director Jian Lin? When will she be back?"

Jian Lin, the chief director of "Starting from Scratch in Peach Blossom Spring", was Xia Kai's junior at university. They had known each other for years and had a good relationship. Wen Chi was able to participate in this variety show this time thanks to Jian Lin's insistence against all objections.

Xia Kai only trusted Jian Lin, but unfortunately, Jian Lin wasn't there.

The assistant director said: "Director Jian has gone to meet the sponsors. You know, we're a bit short of funds."

Now even Xia Kai didn't know what to say.

Suddenly, someone came up to the assistant director.

"Director, I asked. That little actor isn't ours..."

"Oh no! Our show is on the trending topics!"
