Chapter 414: Chapter 405: Truly a Pair

Nearly thirty vehicles were enough to form a medium-sized circle around the pre-selected campsite.

Everyone got out of the vehicles and stretched their travel-weary bodies. Then, they immediately got busy.

They unloaded items from the vehicles, divided areas, set up tents, and most importantly, laid the cables.

Fortunately, many hands make light work, so the entire campsite was quickly set up in an orderly fashion.

Once the wiring was completed, the lights in the campsite were switched on instantly.

The headlights originally used for illumination turned off, and the caravan’s engines quieted down.

Wei Minmin followed behind Jiang Lingxi through the bustling camp, finally spotting the "tiger" and the vehicle Changning had mentioned.

The dark green body was quietly parked on the open ground, exuding an indomitable ruggedness that made one feel utterly secure—like a stronghold.

She didn’t bother to look at her own freshly pitched tent; instead, she wrapped her coat around her and circled the motorhome.

"Cool! Xixi, could this be...?"

Jiang Lingxi, like the others, was looking at the largely transformed motorhome, wondering if its interior had changed as well.

Catching Wei Minmin’s teasing glance, she calmly replied, "Thoughtful, isn’t it?"

Wei Minmin, exaggerating her admiration, sighed, "Absolutely the most thoughtful."

She almost felt like getting a little boyfriend to enjoy such thoughtfully arranged comforts.

Tsk, jealous!

Not only her, but even other crew members couldn’t help but glance at the pre-arranged motorhome. Yet, their main priority was their current tasks and the tents they would sleep in tonight.

It was evident the motorhome was self-provided by the actors. Though envious, without permission from the owner, they could only admire it from outside.

Tiger disembarked when the caravan arrived and, seeing Jiang Lingxi approaching from afar, hurried over, addressing her as everybody did, "Xixi."

Jiang Lingxi nodded at him, "Thanks for your hard work, Tiger."

Tiger laughed shyly, "It wasn’t hard. Xixi, everything is well prepared in the motorhome. You can rest as soon as you enter. I’ll help everyone pitch tents, so I won’t disturb you."

Lu Zhengzheng took two steps forward and pulled open the motorhome door, "Lingxi, shall we board?"

"No rush, you board first and organize the luggage."

Lu Zhengzheng took the luggage into the motorhome, while Jiang Lingxi took Changning on a casual round around the campsite.

Though the area was selected after careful consideration by others, she couldn’t be completely at ease without seeing it herself.

While wandering, she noticed someone else doing the same.

"What a coincidence, Miss Jiang out for a stroll too?"

"Slept too much during the day, just a little awake to wander around," Jiang Lingxi casually deflected, her gaze discreetly assessing Luan Feng standing behind Chong Yin, "But I’ve strolled enough, heading back."

"Alright, see you tomorrow."

After walking a distance, Changning couldn’t help but say, "Xixi..."

Jiang Lingxi interrupted her, "Speak when we’re back in the motorhome."

Once inside and the door secured, Jiang Lingxi glanced at Lu Zhengzheng still busy unpacking behind the curtain, then sat down with Changning at the coffee table.

Not having time to survey the changes inside the vehicle, she asked, "Changning, what were you going to say? Did you notice something?"

Changning was momentarily surprised but quickly nodded, "Yes, I wanted to say that Mr. Chong and Luan Feng weren’t just strolling the campsite. I noticed Luan Feng sprinkling something on the ground. Did you notice too?"

Changning’s keen sense as a mage allowed her to catch Luan Feng’s small actions, but she hadn’t expected Lingxi, who wasn’t a mage, to observe it too.

She continued with her speculation, "Sprinkling things around the campsite—I’d guess it’s primarily to repel pests like snakes and bugs. But given its origin, its effects might not be limited to that. Lingxi, after everyone’s asleep, should I..."

"No need," Jiang Lingxi warned, looking at the eager Changning, "Yunqing sent you and Tiger here to protect me, not to take risks. With over a hundred people in the camp, they wouldn’t dare spread something lethal widely. Even if their target is me, this isn’t how they’d do it. Banish these thoughts."

Changning immediately nodded, admitting her mistake, "Lingxi, I was too reckless."

Feeling the pressure, "I’ll go help Zhengzheng with the unpacking!"

Saying this, she got up and left in a hurry.

Earlier on, Lingxi ate the chocolates she offered and played cards with them, so she thought Lingxi was easy-going.

Now she felt more pressure with serious Lingxi than with her mentor.

They were indeed a match!

"Changning, Lingxi, you’re back." Lu Zhengzheng was hanging clothes in the closet, her hands busy while her mouth wasn’t idle, "I checked out the bathroom, and there’s hot water for showers! There’s even a water purification system; it collects and purifies rainwater for use—so convenient. Lingxi, do you want to shower first? I’ve laid out your pajamas and made the bed."

"I’ll go shower first, you guys..."

Before she could finish her sentence, there was a knock on the motorhome door from outside.

Changning went and opened the door, returning with Wei Minmin, who carried a wash kit.

Seeing Jiang Lingxi with the towel in hand, Wei Minmin instantly bypassed Changning with a bright smile, "The showers on the campsite won’t be ready until tomorrow, but I can’t wait! Xixi, are you going to shower too? Can I join you? I could scrub your back!"

Lu Zhengzheng: "..." She commented, "Minmin, acting like this, do your fans know?"

Wei Minmin waved dismissively, "If it means I can shower, anything can be forsaken!"

Jiang Lingxi: "Alright then, let’s go."

"Alright!"

They entered the bathroom one after the other.

Lu Zhengzheng and Changning exchanged a glance.

Changning: "Should we also..."

Lu Zhengzheng imagined the scene and couldn’t help swallowing, "I think it’d save water."

Hearing the gulping sound, Changning: "..."

Was the suggestion too rash?

In the bathroom.

Jiang Lingxi turned on the shower to check the water temperature.

Before the "roving hand" behind her could make contact, she swatted it away.

"Keep your hands to yourself."

"Xixi," Wei Minmin enviously eyed the perfect figure right before her and then looked at her own slightly red hand, not daring to reach again, meekly saying, "I just wanted to scrub your back."

"Not wet yet, not dirty, don’t need you."

"Alright then!"

How disappointing!

A while later.

"Hey, Xixi, this shampoo and body wash smell great. What brand are they? There’s nothing on the bottle?"

Jiang Lingxi hadn’t noticed while using it and now glanced over, "No brand."

"Ah, custom?"

"You could say so."

"I was just thinking..."

"No, you weren’t."

Half an hour flew by.

Wei Minmin left, reluctantly drying her hair.

"Xixi, next time..."

Jiang Lingxi unceremoniously interrupted, "The showers will be ready tomorrow; there won’t be a next time here for you."

"You’re so heartless."

"Does your hand still hurt?"

Their conversation left Lu Zhengzheng and Changning outside, their eyes darting.

What on earth happened in there?

Wei Minmin left, Jiang Lingxi shut the motorhome door, and turning, saw the two’s strange faces, "Aren’t you going to shower?"

"Oh, yes, we’ll go now!"

Jiang Lingxi, her hair half-dried, sat cross-legged on the bed, glancing out the window.

The previously lively campsite had quieted after bathing; one by one, lights dimmed and went out.

Taking out her phone, there was still no signal.

Swiftly switching to satellite phone, she dialed a number.

It rang once and was answered immediately.

Shen Yunqing was indeed still awake!
