CHAPTER 947: CHAPTER 91: SU MEILI’S CLOTHES WERE TORN UP

Chapter 91

Yan Yuan packs her things, but she hasn’t prepared much, except for two big bags of snacks that Chu Chen helps her carry.

She only brings a few clothes and two pairs of shoes.

Bai Chenxi feels that, although it’s just a temporary separation, he seems truly upset as if they’re really parting.

In the past, he was used to being alone.

Accompanied by work every day, it was nothing.

Now with Yan Yuan by his side, someone to argue with, someone to quarrel with, suddenly without her, he really feels a bit unaccustomed.

Bai Chenxi walks into Yan Yuan’s room, hands her the box he has in his hand, "Yueyue, I got you a new phone."

Yan Yuan opens it to find a very exquisitely designed phone. She casually presses a few buttons and realizes this is not an ordinary item.

"Thank you!" Yan Yuan says cheerfully.

This is probably a model designed by Bai Chenxi himself, without a brand, likely custom-made by him.

"While you’re away, if there are any developments with Gu Chengxin, they’ll still contact you. The journey is long, and driving isn’t safe, so you should take the bus. If you need anything, I’ll have someone send it to you at any time," Bai Chenxi says.

Yan Yuan is speechless, "Okay, I only care about you being good to me. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of myself. If I need anything, I’ll tell you. I won’t let myself suffer."

Bai Chenxi looks at her speechlessly, this person actually knows he’s being good to her, reluctant to part with her.

How does she treat him?

The next day.

Bai Chenxi personally takes Yan Yuan to the company downstairs.

Then, watches Yan Yuan board the bus.

This journey to Jiangli City is long, taking more than ten hours by bus.

The trip will certainly be tough.

After getting on the bus, Yan Yuan turns back to look at Bai Chenxi standing in the shadows.

Sigh! Where does this sudden melancholy come from?

Actually, she herself isn’t sure.

Except for Chu Chen and Song Yuwan who have their own cars, the rest all take the bus.

Of course, Su Meili is excluded.

She boldly drives her luxury car, equipped with a dedicated driver and assistant, makeup artist, earning envious gazes all the way.

Everyone sets off together.

On the road, without Su Meili this tough competitor in front of her, Yan Yuan feels extremely comfortable.

She lays on her seat, curls up, and falls asleep.

She sleeps through the morning, and by noon, a torrential downpour begins.

The rain on the road is particularly intense.

The director and staff don’t look too good.

Luckily, according to the phone’s weather forecast, it’s not raining in Jiangli City at the moment.

It’s just cloudy, and the subsequent situation is uncertain.

At noon, everyone braves the rain to find a restaurant to have lunch and continues onward.

The heavy rain finally stops in the afternoon, and the sun even comes out.

On the bus, everyone is worried.

"Could we encounter continuous downpours? I heard that at this time last year, there was such an event in Jiangli City. There was even flooding then, and the lake area we chose is very low-lying. If it floods, it wouldn’t stop for half a month."

"Yes, the preparations beforehand were almost done. The set design is all set up. If there’s a downpour and flooding, our chosen location is in danger," the prop team is really worried.

Yan Yuan frowns, staring at the sky, takes a while to snap back.

A bad start.

This time they really encountered a heavy rain.

Moreover, she estimates it’ll rain for at least three days.

And, the clouds are drifting along their route, unsure about the situation in Jiang Chen.

The vehicle continues to move forward.

By nightfall, they are close to the border of Jiangli City.

The downpour strikes once again.

This time it’s even more intense than the morning, lasting five or six hours without stopping.

They reach the reserved hotel in Jiangli City by three or four in the morning.

At that time, it’s still raining.

Everyone gets off the bus, finds their rooms, and checks in.

The filming location is less than twenty kilometers away from here, in the mountains.

The initially chosen place, with green mountains and clear waters, waterfalls and flowers, seemed like the Mortal World in the Immortal Realm.

This downpour, what the future holds, is really uncertain.

The director is naturally very worried.

Waking up on the second day, the rain hasn’t stopped, continuing as a torrential downpour, and the weather report states the rain will persist for a week.

This undoubtedly brings great trouble to the film crew.

Fortunately, the filming location is outside, and the scene is supported by the local government, without the expense of rental fees.

However, the on-site staff is stuck in the hotel, posing a huge cost.

With the downpour, unable to go out, Yan Yuan’s snacks become very popular.

Playing cards and eating snacks, it’s simply the envied moments of the staff and actors.

Finally an opportunity given by the heavens to truly have some fun.

On the third day of rain.

The rain is lighter than before, though still coming down intermittently.

The only relief is that the filming location is on high ground. Although many places have flooded,

the location hasn’t been severely affected by the flood.

On the sixth day, finally, the rain clears.

The props, sent earlier by the crew, have been washed away.

As a result, temporary setup is required, needing three days.

So, these three days, all the actors can freely explore Jiangcheng.

Chu Chen invites Yan Yuan to join for some fun, hearing that Jiangcheng is going to hold the River God festival.

Yan Yuan naturally won’t refuse.

Xiao Jiemei and Mu Chiheng want to go, and in the end, Song Yuwan insists on joining.

Originally Yan Yuan and Chu Chen’s group, suddenly grows to six or seven people.

Chu Chen and Song Yuwan both bring assistants.

Although they are famous stars, they wear hats and masks on the road, so no one recognizes them.

While the rest are newcomers, it’s even less likely anyone will recognize them.

Standing by the moat in Jiangli City, looking at the muddy floodwaters in the river, Yan Yuan feels this is a visual impact.

She always thought flooding was far from her.

Even when seeing it from a bird’s-eye view, it’s just a slightly fat worm coiling around the mountain.

From up close, the splashing waves and roaring sounds make her feel amazed.

It’s said that Jiangli City floods every year, and many people die annually. In ancient times, it was even more catastrophic, affecting the entire town.

Now, with the moat built, life for residents is stable, but they won’t forget the cultural tradition of the River God festival.

Many wealthy families invite chefs a day early to prepare delicious food.

For example, large cuts of beef, roasted whole lamb, pork, etc.

Once prepared, they are placed along the moat, then burned incense to worship the River God. Afterward, the food can be freely eaten.

Poor families, even without a lot of meat, will make some vegetarian dishes, bring out homemade wine, and lay out fruit platters and stored dried fruits.

Everyone takes out their best from home, and after worshipping the River God, they can enjoy together. At night on the huge square, there’s dragon dancing, lion dancing, and a bonfire party.

Listening to all this, Yan Yuan is extremely excited, she really likes such customs and activities.

Precisely because of this tradition in Jiangli City, many tourists come every year to participate in their River God festival.

"Chu Chen, we came early. The River God festival officially starts at noon tomorrow," Song Yuwan says.

Chu Chen nods, "Indeed a bit early, but we can visit first. We can come again, anyway our accommodation isn’t far from here."

Jiangli City is vast, surrounded by mountains and water. After the rain, flowers bloom everywhere, the mountains covered in greenery.

It’s truly a bit like the Immortal Realm in the Mortal World.

Yan Yuan doesn’t speak, her mind solely focused on finally having good food tomorrow, a feast everyone’s invited to.

Yan Yuan returns in the afternoon, the hotel is about to serve dinner, she wouldn’t miss it.

Just as she enters the restaurant and sits down at the table.

Su Meili leads a group and directly surrounds her, "Yan Yuan, did you ruin my clothes!"

Yan Yuan is baffled, "Are you crazy? What’s wrong with your clothes? I didn’t provoke you."

"Stop pretending to be innocent. I’m telling you, all my self-made clothes are torn to shreds. If not you, then who else?" Su Meili is nearly furious.

She also went out to play today.

Stuck in the hotel after a week of rain, almost going crazy.

Originally went out happily, came back to find all her expensive custom-made clothes were torn apart.

Who else besides Yan Yuan would do this?

Who else dares to treat her this way?

Yan Yuan looks Su Meili up and down, snorts coldly, "Get lost, don’t bother me while I’m eating. If your clothes are ruined, what does it have to do with me? If you slander me again, I won’t let you off."

"I can understand your jealousy, but doing something like this is truly shameless. Yan Yuan, if you have the guts, swear it’s not you," Su Meili is extremely displeased with Yan Yuan’s attitude.

While feeling distressed for the clothes, she also hates Yan Yuan fervently.
