Top Chinese celebrity: Debuted from Running Man

Chapter 10 Brothers Who Fell into the Water
……

……

After changing her clothes, Gu Qing finally calmed down.

"This is just a persona created for a variety show. If I keep assuming that someone is interested in me, wouldn't that make me a slut?"

Gu Qing gave himself a warning.

Moreover, during the recording,

He'd seen his darling secretly using her phone to report her schedule to her domineering boyfriend countless times.

Thinking of this,
The slight flutter in Gu Qing's heart vanished without a trace.

Let's get our spirits up and start again!

This time, we went straight to West Lake.

In autumn, the surface of West Lake resembles an inkstone spilled with green ink. The weeping willows along the shore cast thousands of green ribbons into the blue waves, and where the branches lightly touch the water, rings of emerald ripple, creating a truly beautiful sight.

As Gu Qing and the others got off the car and took their positions...

A platform slowly rose from the middle of West Lake; upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a ping-pong table.

"Wow, are we going to play ping-pong on the lake?"

Yang Ying's eyes lit up with excitement. "This is so romantic!"

"Before that, you need to put on your diving shoes."

Lu Hao pointed to a row of green shoes laid out on the ground.

"Director, we're not going to have to go underwater again, are we?"

Wang Zhulan was almost in tears. "I just changed my clothes."

"This mission is not a diving mission."

Lu Hao smiled and said, "You need to put on your diving shoes and run to the ping-pong table. The first person to arrive will get good equipment, which is the key to your victory."

"Understood, Director. When do we depart?"

Gu Qing tied her shoelaces and couldn't wait to get up and ask.

"Now!"

After saying that, Lu Hao blew a whistle.

Gu Qing hadn't even had a chance to move yet.

Big Black Bull took the lead, and Wang Baoqiang followed closely behind. The two of them were neck and neck on the crowded low bridge.

"Brother Chao, charge! Charge! Charge!"

Gu Qing quickly sped up and chased after him.

The bridge was already narrow, and there was also a VJ in front of it responsible for capturing the camera shots.

Facing the fork in the road,
Wang Baoqiang originally intended to accelerate past Li Chen.
But I never expected that

The big black bull was there and couldn't push it aside at all; instead, Wang Baoqiang's own calf hit the guardrail.

Gu Qing, who was following closely behind, immediately saw Wang Baoqiang fall headfirst into the lake, his legs sticking out in the air.

"Brother Baoqiang!!"

Gu Qing instinctively reached out and hugged Bao Qiang's legs, trying to save him.

However, the momentum caused him to stumble, and with a group of people chasing behind him, he was hit hard on the back and completely lost control of his body.

"thump--!!"

One after the other, Wang Baoqiang and Gu Qing fell into the lake at the same time.

Hearing the sound of water,

Some people turned their heads to look, some slowed their pace, but they still ran forward to complete the task.

"Little brother! Protect me!"

Deng Chao, who was at the back due to exhaustion, saw the two fall into the water and hurriedly stepped over the railing, turning sideways to reach out and save them.

Unexpectedly, Ma Su also stopped and offered her help with concern.

"Brother Chao, I'm fine. Let Brother Baoqiang go up first; he seems to be injured."

The water only reached Gu Qing's neck, but Bao Qiang was hit on the chin and was also swept into the lake.

With a strained left hand supporting Bao Qiang under his armpit and his right hand gripping the railing below the bridge, Gu Qing finally managed to get back onto the bridge with the help of the staff on site.

"Bao Bao, are you alright?"

Deng Chao inquired,

"I...I'm fine, quickly pull Xiao Gu up, quick, quick."

Wang Baoqiang was so anxious that he started to stutter.

As he plunged headfirst into the lake, he clearly felt someone pulling him from behind.

Unexpectedly, this person turned out to be the youngest, Gu Qing.

This made him both touched and guilty.

"Brother Baoqiang, don't worry, I'm fine, I just swallowed some water."

Gu Qing had already been pulled onto the bridge. She thanked the staff for the towel they offered and wiped the water off her body.

"How can it be okay?"

Deng Chao helped brush off the aquatic plants stuck to him, looking just like an old father, and said worriedly, "Why don't you and Bao Bao go to the hospital to get checked out first?"

"Yes, Xiao Gu, your health is the most important thing."

Director Lu Hao ran over nervously, saying, "At worst, we can postpone filming."

What he just witnessed terrified him, turning his face pale.

If anything were to happen to the artist, he would be held responsible. "I didn't even get a scratch, recording the show is the priority."

Gu Qing shook her head repeatedly.

The final name tag ripping segment of the first episode of Running Man was the most exciting and important.

He couldn't bear to let the opportunity slip away.

As a newcomer with no background whatsoever, I was bound to the company by a contract.

If you can't seize this opportunity to become famous overnight and gain more influence, you might encounter some disgusting things in the future.

"I don't need it, recording the show is the priority."

Wang Baoqiang is not a troublesome person.

This moved Lu Hao to tears.

Simply renting out West Lake for filming isn't something that can be done with money alone.

He would be completely at a loss if he couldn't finish on time.

"In the post-production of this episode, we must give Xiao Gu and Bao Qiang more screen time."

Lu Hao made a decision in his heart.

the other side,
"Even if you're going to record, you need to change your clothes first."

Faced with the two stubborn individuals, Deng Chao didn't know what to say.

"Yes, yes, change your clothes, don't catch a cold."

Lu Hao hurriedly said.

……

"Xiao Gu, thank you so much. I really didn't expect you to come and help me."

As they walked toward the RV, Wang Baoqiang naturally expressed his gratitude to Gu Qing, saying, "You've saved my life."

"Brother Baoqiang, it's not that serious."

Gu Qing flicked the plant stuck to her arm and casually said, "If someone else were behind you, they would definitely pull you back too."

"Not always…"

Wang Baoqiang shook his head and didn't say anything more.

He is known in the industry for his honest and simple image.

But that doesn't mean he's a stupid person.

in contrast,

Wang Baoqiang saw things more clearly than anyone else; he knew what he could and couldn't do.

Right now,

In that critical moment, Gu Qing instinctively reached out to save himself from falling into the lake, instead of jumping away in fright.

How many people in the industry can do that?
"Xiao Gu, don't say anything more. From now on, Brother Baoqiang will protect you."

Wang Baoqiang patted Gu Qing's shoulder forcefully, "Even if there's only one sip of soup, I'll share it with you in half."

"Brother Baoqiang, how about you treat me to meat another day?"

Gu Qing reached out and clutched her stomach, saying helplessly, "I've been drinking so much water today that I'm about to throw up. I feel like I'm about to burst."

"Hahaha--"

Wang Baoqiang grinned, his eyes crinkling with laughter. "Okay, okay, I'll take you out for meat next time."

Because of what happened, the subsequent water ping-pong games were played rather casually.

Especially as Wang Baoqiang's chin wound worsened, he still needed to go to the hospital for bandaging as a safety precaution.

As for the name tags, they were handed over to Zheng Kai to participate in the next name tag ripping battle.

As for the champion of this game,
By a twist of fate, it returned to Gu Qinglan's team.

He used to play table tennis quite a lot.

If there are many people, we play basketball; if there are few people, we play table tennis.

These are also the two sports with the most extensive infrastructure.

Gu Qing's two spikes while holding a salted fish toy successfully helped the team win the game and obtain the clue.

"Does it grow larger when it sees someone? (Guess a Chinese character)"

On their way to their ultimate destination, the Suzhou-Hangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, Gu Qing and his companions unlocked a clue.

"chicken?"

Deng Chao muttered to himself.

"what?"

Gu Qing tilted his head, his face full of question marks, "Brother Chao, this is obviously a 1. Adding a stroke to the character for 'person' makes it 'big,' right? How did you come up with the character for 'chicken'?"

"I thought it was the character '大' with a dot added, becoming the character '太' for 'sun,' and then there would be roosters crowing, right?"

Deng Chao spoke seriously as he made his guess.

"Brother Chao, your ability to think outside the box is definitely at the level of becoming a scientist."

Gu Qing gave a thumbs up.

"Admit it, admit it."

Deng Chao chuckled.
