Huh? Are villainous bosses this easy to flirt with?

Chapter 20 He is a ruthless person

Director Qi Xian was sitting leisurely on the sofa, drinking juice, enjoying the air conditioning, with a huge screen in front of him, constantly observing the movements of the others.

He also saw the trending topic "Xie Qing Fishing" and immediately saved it, intending to use it to mock Bai Ruizhe, who liked fishing but always missed.

Qi Xian took a sip of juice and thought aimlessly, "Is my sister-in-law some kind of trending topic magnet? The show hasn't even started yet, and she's already trending twice."

It's the third day since the broadcast started, and he's been trending on social media countless times in just three days. So many times that he's starting to suspect that his brother paid for it. There are more viewers in his live stream than Gu Yan's, although a lot of them are Gu Yan's fans who came to see Xie Qing make a fool of himself. In the end, he didn't get to see other people's jokes, but he got a lot of jokes about his own.

Sigh~ How did this variety show, which was originally just filmed for fun, suddenly become so popular?

Qi Xian said not to panic, and to let him finish his juice first.

----

Time quickly passed to the fourth day.

Xie Qing was carrying the rabbit, her prize, back home.

"Aaaaaah... snake... snake..." A scream rang out, the voice filled with terror.

Judging from the voice, it seems to be Chen Mo.

"Where? Where? I don't see it!" Su Li turned her head around and ended up making eye contact with the snake.

Su Li nearly fainted on the spot. "Oh my god!!! I saw him! Liang Shun, hurry and get him away, quick..."

Su Li was so frightened that she jumped around, her legs almost getting tangled together.

"You brat, why didn't you chase me away? I'm scared too..."

"Ahhh...didn't you say you weren't afraid of anything?"

"Can't you tell I'm bluffing?"

Su Li: "......"

The snake didn't leave; it just kept watching them. The four of them were so frightened that they huddled together, too scared to move.

"Qiqi, I'm scared."

Fan Qi shielded Chen Mo behind her and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..." Her voice was trembling as she comforted her, clearly she was also afraid, but she was just putting on a brave face.

No, there are four of them. Even if each of them kicked the snake, it should have been crushed to death. Of course, if you're asking me to do it, then never mind.

[That's a snake! A snake! Ugh! I can't even imagine how terrified I would be if I were there!]

I don't think anyone is unafraid of snakes! I honestly think snakes are really, really, really scary.

【...】

Liang Shun, who was standing at the front, quickly squatted down and picked up a stick, hoping to scare the snake away.

This provoked the snake, which hissed, arched its body, and launched an attack, but only managed to bite the wood.

When the snake attacked, the four people were so frightened that they retreated back one after another. Their steps became disordered, and they tripped over each other, falling all over the place. Some of them even lost their equipment due to the fall.

Xie Qing saw this comical scene when she arrived.

Xie Qing: "..."

Just as Xie Qing was about to approach, he heard Liang Shun shout from the opposite side, "Watch out! The snake is heading in your direction!!!"

The snake was startled and instinctively tried to attack the obstacle in front of it, but Xie Qing dodged to the side and, with lightning speed, grabbed the snake by the throat.

Liang Shun: !!!

Zurich: !!!

Chen Mo: !!!

Fan Qi: !!!

The surroundings fell silent instantly, and four pairs of eyes turned to Xie Qing, their expressions quite remarkable. At this moment, silence spoke louder than words.

Upon witnessing this scene, viewers in the live stream were so shocked that they sat up abruptly from their deathbed.

All I can say is, he's ruthless. That was a snake! A snake!!! And he just grabbed it so clean and fresh.

[With the most beautiful face, doing the most ruthless things, four people were stuck here for ages, and then one person took them all down?!]

【Ahhhhhh! I just stepped out of the live stream for a little while, and my baby is holding a snake! What happened?!】

[Catching a snake with his bare hands?! Holy crap, just seeing a snake gives me goosebumps, how could he dare to do that?!]

[Snake: Mom, don't save me any food today. Your son has met a ruthless person; there's no going back!]

[There's a sense of ease about Xie Qing that he can handle anything with a calm and collected attitude. I've never seen him get flustered in all this time since the show started airing; it's like he's really on vacation.]

[Agreed. While others are anxiously searching for food, he can eat his fill, casually fish to pass the time, and food will always be readily available.]

【That's scary, take it away.】

【...】

Xie Qing held two rabbits in her left hand and a snake in her right, looking at the four people who had stood up, her tone somewhat hesitant.

"Are you... alright?"

In Xie Qing's eyes, the four people looked half-dead, probably because they had just fallen, and each of them was a little dirty.

At least in Xie Qing's view, they looked like they had experienced a famine, their faces turning yellowish in just a few days.

Su Li took a few steps forward unsteadily, looking just like a zombie from Plants vs. Zombies. Having just experienced the snake encounter, her voice was extremely weak.

"I'm so hungry!"

Xie Qing: Hmm, I can see that.

"I caught two rabbits, and we can't finish them all. Would you like to join us?" Xie Qing politely invited.

"Okay, okay!" Su Li's eyes gleamed with longing for food, and without a second thought, she immediately nodded.

Liang Shun coughed lightly, trying to save face, "Well, wasting food is really not good, so let's eat together."

The two girls thanked her politely, their hearts filled with gratitude. Chen Mo, in particular, was even more convinced that Xie Qing was a very good person, and her feelings for him grew even stronger.

Xie Qing led the way, with the other four following behind. Because he had a snake in his hand, he dared not get too close to Xie Qing.

After walking for more than ten minutes, when they arrived at their destination, they discovered that the snake in Xie Qing's hand was gone.

"We let it go halfway there."

Seeing the puzzled looks on their faces, Xie Qing kindly offered an explanation.

"You might be too far away to see me."

Liang Shun was straightforward and asked whatever came to mind, "Why didn't you kill that snake and let it go? What if you encounter it again?"

Xie Qing: "Don't worry, that snake isn't poisonous. We just happened to run into it. At most, it might bite us, but nothing else will happen."

Xie Qing spoke as casually as if he were talking about the weather.

Liang Shun: What do you mean by "at most, you'll get bitten once, and being bitten by a snake is a minor matter"?

"As for why you didn't kill him?" Xie Qing paused for a moment, opened his eyes, and glanced at Liang Shun, his eyes seeming to say that he was ignorant.

"That snake is a rat snake, which is a protected animal. I don't want to go in and eat the government's food."

Liang Shun: Okay! (?_?) I was ignorant, please forgive me, I really don't know what kind of snake it was?

Su Li hurriedly said to Liang Shun, "Alright, alright, if you're not going to kill him, then you're not going to kill him. My brother Qing has his reasons for doing things, so don't ask anymore."

Then she turned to Xie Qing, as if a dog's tail was wagging behind her, "Brother, can we eat now? I'm starving."

Xie Qing was amused by his action and said, "Okay."

"I'll go help start the fire." Su Li immediately ran off to start the fire.

The others also started to help out, since the food was provided by them, and they would feel embarrassed to eat their food if they didn't help at all.

All four of them were scrambling to do the work, leaving Xie Qing with nothing to do.

Xie Qing: You guys did all the work, what am I supposed to do?
