Chapter 95: She’s Not a Princess!
The producer sobbed like a hundred-pound dog: “Do you have any idea how we survived those five hours? And it was just a trick!”
The cameraman asked, “Then what’s the answer to the riddle?!”
Chi Qian blinked innocently. “Never seen anyone as dumb as you.”
The two of them: “…”
“How is that not a personal attack?!”
Chi Qian tilted her head. “No, I mean literally—the answer is: ‘Never seen anyone as dumb as you.’”
The two of them: “……”
With a smile, she asked, “You guys haven’t had breakfast yet, right? Want to come in? My uncle’s cooking.”
The two immediately perked up and followed her inside like obedient puppies.
Meanwhile, the livestream chat went dead silent.
All the fans were crying inside—they wanted to eat breakfast with sister Qian and thier brother too!
This episode was a bit different.
The filming location was overseas, and the moment the cast got off the plane, their eyes were blindfolded and they were herded into cars.
After a bumpy ride, the vehicles finally stopped.
Chi Qian had slept the whole way. When she stepped out, her head was still buzzing.
Suddenly, she felt a hostile gaze stabbing into her.
She turned her head—most of the people present were staring at her, but she couldn’t tell exactly who.
Hands tucked in her pockets, Chi Qian just strolled along behind Chi Fengxiao without a care.
“Welcome, everyone, to this week’s filming site. This is our starting point—the racetrack!” The chief director shouted into his loudspeaker. “First, let me introduce two new guests joining us.”
“Our national goddess—Xia Xinyue, and her sister, Xia Zhenzhen!”
Dressed in a blue-and-white tracksuit, Xia Xinyue, radiant and elegant, waved at everyone. “Just call me Xinyue. I’m really looking forward to surviving together with everyone.”
As she spoke, she turned her smile toward Chi Fengxiao, her eyes lighting up. “Of course, what I’m most looking forward to… is being with my idol, Brother Chi.”
The crowd erupted in cheers.
[Whoa! The production team really pulled it off, they even got Xinyue Goddess here!]
[Not good… This Xia Xinyue has publicly confessed to Brother Chi before. She’s a hardcore fan.]
[Didn’t she also accidentally like a hate post about sister Qian last time? Her apology was half-hearted too. Left a bad impression.]
[Our Yueyue is straightforward and innocent. If she made mistakes before, please don’t hold it against her, Wind-Kite sisters!]
[Am I the only one jealous that Xia Xinyue actually succeeded in chasing her idol?]
Chi Fengxiao didn’t even glance at her.
When the camera wasn’t on him, he quickly shoved a piece of chocolate into Chi Qian’s mouth. “Eat. Hurry up and recharge.”
With her mouth full, Chi Qian mumbled, “Thanks, Uncle.”
Xia Xinyue’s smile stiffened. Since her idol hadn’t even noticed her, she turned her head away in disappointment.
The director continued, “Please turn around. You’ll see five horses, and five tables—each with a modified bomb on top.”
“The parents must carry the bomb, ride the horse around the track, and hand the bomb to their child at the finish line. The child must stop the countdown in time for the mission to be considered complete.”
“Don’t worry, these modified bombs only contain liquid. Even if they explode, you’ll just suffer a little. Your lives won’t be in danger.”
The veterans of the “composite juice” challenge: “……” Yeah right—you said the same thing about that juice too.
Luo Zichuan raised his hand: “We don’t know how to disarm bombs.”
The director reassured, “The staff will demonstrate first. It’s not difficult.”
Indeed, a staff member quickly dismantled one in just a few steps.
Shen Jiashu looked at his father: “Dad, did you get it?”
Shen Jing: “…That’s my line, son.”
Luo Fan looked toward Luo Zichuan, who simply said: “Not hard.”
Luo Fan finally relaxed.
“Brother Chi, I memorized the steps and already taught Zhenzhen. If Qian Qian doesn’t understand, she can ask Zhenzhen.” Xia Xinyue smiled sweetly at Chi Fengxiao.
Chi Fengxiao: “No need.”
He trusted Qian Qian completely.
But then, when he turned to look—Qian Qian was squatting on the ground, watching ants, totally oblivious to the instructions.
So basically… she hadn’t even watched the demo!
Chi Fengxiao suddenly felt suffocated. He’d relaxed too early.
This challenge wasn’t just about racing and defusing bombs—the real difficulty was the ten-minute countdown.
The faster the parents finished the horse race, the more time the children would have to dismantle the bomb.
If they were too slow… the bomb could very well explode in the parent’s hands.
With a bang from the starter pistol, the five horses shot out from the starting line.
Chi Fengxiao took the lead, far ahead of the other contestants. At the finish line, he rushed to grab the mallet to strike the gong.
Shen Jing and Ling Qian caught up and went to snatch it too.
There was only one mallet—everyone wanted to hit the gong first.
In the scuffle, five minutes were already gone.
Chi Fengxiao tightened his grip on the reins and simply kicked the gong with his foot. The sound rang out, and he immediately turned his horse back toward the start.
Shen Jing realized and followed suit, kicking the gong as well.
Ling Qian finally managed to get hold of the mallet, but just as he was about to strike, Luo Fan and Xia Xinyue arrived.
“They’re going at it so fiercely.” Chi Qian watched the brawl at the finish line, thinking that if they slowed down any further, she could sneak in another nap.
“Princess, princess, do you remember what the first step is? I forgot.” Shen Jiashu came over nervously asking for help.
Chi Qian was about to speak when Xia Zhenzhen cut her off: “I know, the first step is to find the detonator, then—”
Shen Jiashu scratched his head. “But I wasn’t asking you.”
“I’m a princess too.” Xia Zhenzhen lifted her chin proudly. “My family always calls me their little princess. I’ll allow you to call me that as well.”
“You’re just your family’s little princess. I was talking to the Forest Princess, Krikshasha!”
“How stupid are you? There’s no such thing as a Forest Princess.”
“Yes there is—she’s standing right in front of you!”
Xia Zhenzhen glanced at Chi Qian. “She tricked you. If she were really a Forest Princess, how could she be here filming this show with us?”
But Shen Jiashu wouldn’t hear it. He looked at her with pity. “I don’t blame you for your ignorance. Not everyone is lucky enough to be recognized by the princess like I am.”
“You—!”
“Qian Qian, quick, only two minutes left!” Chi Fengxiao had reached the end, jumped off his horse, and placed the bomb on Chi Qian’s table.
Xia Zhenzhen blocked him, “Wait a second, we’re still talking—don’t interrupt, okay?”
She turned to Chi Qian. “Tell me the truth, you’re lying, aren’t you? There’s no such thing as a Forest Princess. You just want to trick them into being your little followers, to boss around!”
Chi Qian yawned. “Are you serious right now?”
“Of course! I’m not naïve like them—I won’t fall for your tricks so easily!”
Without even looking up, Chi Qian said, “I think some things really speak for themselves. Do you know why sixty seconds disappear every time a minute passes?”
“What?” Xia Zhenzhen frowned.
“Something so obvious and you still don’t get it? Even kids can learn this. Adults should know too. Everyone has their own superpower. And when people get killed, they die.”
Xia Zhenzhen was dumbfounded. What was she even talking about?!
“And finally,” Chi Qian added, “do me a favor and bring me some stir-fried pork—without the stir-fry, without the pork. Just roll away.”
Xia Zhenzhen’s face turned red, then white—finally realizing she was being humiliated!
Chi Fengxiao was laughing to himself when he suddenly saw the bomb in his arms and his face drained of color. “Qian Qian! Not good! It’s about to blow!”
