At eight o'clock in the evening, Ning Ran was still filming the reality show.
The filming of the first episode of the reality show was nearly finished. The two teams had completed their
missions, with Ning Ran's team taking less time than the other team.
Ning Ran, Huang Zichao, and the other team members were about to celebrate when the director came over and
told them it was not over yet.
Everyone quieted down, as they were confused. What does the director mean by it's not over yet?
“The team that finished this battle in the shortest time is the production team from I Am You, which is also the red
team, but...” The director suddenly fell silent.
This tactic had been used many times to keep the audience in suspense.
“But?”
“Yes. Say it!”
“But the red team broke the rules. When completing the mission, a member stopped to answer a call. This is a
violation of our filming rules. Those who violated these rules will be considered the losing team, so let us
congratulate the production team of Gray Town, which is also the blue team for winning this round!”
With that, the director took the lead to give the blue team a round of applause.
However, no one applauded with him, as they were dumbfounded.
“Who broke the rules? Who answered a call?” Huang Zichao asked.
Even the blue team was astonished by their victory and didn't respond. How did we suddenly win?
Ning Ran knew without a doubt that the director was referring to her.
She couldn't decline the call when she saw it was from Erbao.
She would always answer her daughter's phone calls even if she was in a more pressing situation than filming a
reality show.

Tang Jing frowned in displeasure, as she had done her best during the mission. She had gone out of her way to get
screen time because she desperately yearned to be famous.
In reality, she had accomplished her current success with her hard work.
It was extremely rare to have celebrities in China working on films and completing their doctorates at the same
time. She was currently the only female in the entertainment industry to have accomplished this.
She was resentful of the loss because Ning Ran broke the rules and caused her efforts to become futile.
On the other hand, Huang Zichao wasn't too bothered. “It's fine. We will win in the next round.”
Hearing that, Tang Jing immediately chimed in, “That's right. It's fine. We will definitely win tomorrow!”
Nevertheless, dissatisfaction lurked within her heart.
Ye Meng was the most satisfied. She had been irritated and angry with Ning Ran because Shi Jie had turned down a
duet with her. Now, she felt rather pleased, knowing that Ning Ran had broken the rules and led her team to victory.
Nevertheless, she did not express her true emotions as she stated, “I think this is unfair of the production team to
do this. Not picking up calls is a filming rule, but it's not part of the game rules. Since she didn't violate any game
rules, the outcome of this mission shouldn't be changed.”
Shi Jie instantly agreed with it. “I think so too. This is rather unjust to Ms. Ding.”
The director disagreed, “Filming rules are part of the game rules. This is a fair judgment.”
Ning Ran stepped forward and replied, “It's fine. I was wrong. I accept the punishment.”
“The losing team will have to accept the punishment. We have two options for this. One is the sweet proposal, while
the other is the brutal proposal. Which one do you choose?” the director asked.
Huang Zichao asked, “What do you mean by sweet and brutal?”
“I can't tell you that. I'll tell you guys once you make your choice.” A sly smile spread across the director's face.
Tang Jing instantly muttered, “Then we will choose the sweet one. Who wants to be tortured?”
Huang Zichao chimed in, “Yes, we will choose the sweet one.”
Ning Ran didn't say anything, as she wasn't in a good mood.
No matter the punishment, she was willing to bear the consequences.
The reason for her bad mood wasn't because she lost the game. Instead, she wondered if Nan Chen was having a
candlelight dinner with the woman he picked up.
“There are two sweet proposals you guys can choose from. One is blowing balloons. The balloon has two openings,
so two people will have to blow air into the balloon simultaneously. The punishment is done when the balloon
bursts,” the director explained.
Although it was not a heavy punishment, it was an uncomfortable one.
Since there were two openings in the balloon, two people would have to blow into the balloon simultaneously. If one
person didn't blow into the balloon, the air blown in by the other would enter their mouth. It would be revolting, to
say the least.
Jeez... How did the director and the production team think of such a disgusting punishment?
“What's the other option? This is too disgusting,” Tang Jing stated.
“That's right. Let's hear the other option,” Huang Zichao chimed in.
“The other option is more traditional. Two people have to munch on the apple at the same time until you can see
the core,” the director replied.
Everyone was shocked. Why does it sound like some terrible wedding custom?
“What are we going to choose?” Huang Zichao glanced at Ning Ran.
Ning Ran was irritated and didn't want to choose any.
However, it was rude to say that, so Ning Ran replied, “Anything.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Then we will choose the second one. The first one is too sickening,” Huang Zichao suggested.
“Then you guys will munch on the apple?” the director asked.
It was also a difficult task. However, Huang Zichao thought it would be rather interesting to do it with Ning Ran.
Ning Ran was repulsed by the thought of sharing an apple with someone else even though she had never done so
before. It was an extremely intimate action, as it looked like a kiss.
She didn't want to do this more than the first option.
However, she was the reason her team lost, so she had to bear the consequences.
The staff member brought the apple over and tied it to a string. Two people were supposed to start munching on
the apple from opposite sides.
Tang Jing could tell Ning Ran was troubled by it and didn't want to play.
She knew Ning Ran had many considerations, as Nan Chen was her boyfriend.
“Ding, you must be tired. How about I do it?” Tang Jing volunteered herself.
Tang Jing also didn't mind doing it as the other party was Huang Zichao, an award-winning international actor!
Who in their right mind would pass up the chance to be intimate with Huang Zichao? Tang Jing would never turn
down such a good opportunity.
Ning Ran was more than happy to exchange places with Tang Jing. “You do it, then. I'm indeed quite tired.”
Huang Zichao was slightly disappointed that it wasn't Ning Ran.
The two started munching on the apple. As the apple was swinging in the air, Tang Jing missed the apple and
planted a kiss on Huang Zichao's face.
The staff members cheered. This was exactly the outcome they wanted.
Tang Jing pretended to be embarrassed over it, but Huang Zichao was experienced and knew better. He didn't
expose her even though he knew she did it on purpose.
