Chapter 10: The Best Actor’s Domesticated Black-hearted Vixen

Shen Lu also noticed this and was somewhat surprised; he hadn’t expected Su Tang to actually take action, assuming she was just there to slack off. At the same time, he was amazed at how quickly she moved and that she had truly caught a wild chicken.

Su Tang stepped forward, about to place the wild chicken into her basket when she looked up and caught Shen Lu’s teasing gaze. She raised the chicken in her hand and asked, “Want one?”

Shen Lu was momentarily stunned but shook his head. “No need, I’ll do it myself.”

The grass was so tall that just spotting the wild chickens was a challenge; by the time you saw one and chased after it, it would have already disappeared. Soon, Su Tang had caught ten, her basket brimming full, while Shen Lu’s remained empty.

Turning, Su Tang saw Shen Lu’s face darken with frustration and couldn’t help but laugh softly. “Shen Lu, do you want me to give you a few?”

Shen Lu retorted stubbornly, “No, I’ll do it myself.”

Without a word, Su Tang grabbed five wild chickens and stuffed them into Shen Lu’s basket. “Why bother? Didn’t you count? Ten wild chickens in total, I’ve already cleared them all.”

Before he could respond, Su Tang turned and walked away. Shen Lu, reluctant to accept the chickens, had no choice but to take them. Slinging the basket on his back, he hurried after her, curiosity getting the better of him. “That move you just used... who taught you?”

“I was mischievous as a kid and self-taught. Want to learn? If you do, I’ll teach you.”

Shen Lu hesitated for a moment, then nodded, thinking there were many days ahead to learn. Su Tang patted his shoulder in camaraderie. “Next time, I’ll teach you.”

When they reached the riverbank, the production team was announcing the end of the challenge. There were only ten fish in the pond, and they had all been caught. The team was tallying the final scores: “Song Heqing caught four fish, Chang Qinghua four fish, and Wen Tian two fish.”

Although Wen Tian had caught the fewest, she wasn’t worried. After all, Su Tang was still in reserve, so she hadn’t put much effort into fishing.

“Are you back too? Come over, let’s count your catch,” Chang Qinghua called out, waving them over.

The two unloaded their baskets and handed them to the production team for inspection before stepping forward to await the results.

“All right, the final results are in: First place, Su Tang with five wild chickens; second place, Shen Lu with five wild chickens; third, Song Heqing with four fish; fourth, Chang Qinghua with four fish; and fifth, Wen Tian with two fish.”

“Ties are broken by the time taken.”

As the director finished speaking, everyone couldn’t help but glance at Su Tang in surprise, even Song Heqing’s gaze held a trace of astonishment. Wen Tian’s face immediately changed, and she instinctively exclaimed, “Impossible!”

The production team continued, “Based on the voting results, first place is Song Heqing, second Shen Lu, third Chang Qinghua, fourth Wen Tian, and fifth Su Tang.”

“According to the rankings, we regret to inform Miss Wen Tian that she will not be eating lunch.”

Wen Tian was stunned. “How is this possible? Su Tang can’t be first!” she asked incredulously.

Ultraman Egg: [What does Wen Tian mean? Why can’t Su Tang be first?]

Hulala: [Looking at Wen Tian’s attitude, I think that earlier guess might be true—Wen Tian’s kindness toward Su Tang is just a facade.]

Automan: [I’m just saying, don’t you think Su Tang is pretty impressive?]

Ultraman Egg: [+1…]

Wen Tian’s attitude was too obvious, and for a while, no one in the comment section came to her defense.
