Chapter 1378 - 1374: The Kiss Was Too Intense
Constantine Stewart came with the guide for the meetup, even Desmond Wood, who usually had little regard for Constantine Stewart, couldn’t help but feel a hint of goodwill towards him.
This godforsaken place where chickens don’t lay eggs and birds don’t poop, meeting anyone feels like encountering family.
Desmond Wood was about to call Constantine Stewart to carry the backpack full of water bottles when he saw the elegant and handsome man reach out to close the camera door, directly shutting off the filming camera. Then, with a stern expression, he stepped forward, pinned Chloe Winston against the tree while she was still collecting birch sap, and fiercely kissed her slightly chapped thin lips, his large hand cupping the back of her head, kissing with force, mixed with a sense of shock and anger, and a taste of reprimand.
The water bottle in Desmond Wood’s hand fell onto his foot, making him open his mouth in pain and yell, while the following cameraman almost dropped his expensive equipment, instinctively hugging it tight, dumbstruck, with only one thought in mind: thankfully Mr. Stewart shut off the live broadcast; otherwise, the entire nation would witness Mr. Stewart forcefully kissing a female guest on a reality show.
Wait, shutting off the live broadcast? Crap?
The originally excited viewers in the live broadcast room suddenly found their screens black.
Crap, what happened? Wasn’t it a good live broadcast?
Instantly, nearly millions of netizens checked their home networks and found nothing wrong, then went on Weibo, and in no time, the show’s official blog was inundated.
Equipment malfunction?
An accident happened?
Various speculations emerged, and Weibo exploded.
Meanwhile, the culprit Mr. Stewart kissed the young woman until her lips were no longer dry, then released her, saying with slight anger, "You’re way too bold."
Before the man could finish his sentence, Chloe Winston slapped him.
The clear palm print was visible, and Desmond Wood closed his agape mouth, while the following cameraman slipped, causing the camera equipment to fall on his foot.
Constantine Stewart’s body stiffened, his face looking exceedingly grim, and his large hand tightly grasped the back of her neck, with a force that could break her slender neck.
Being slapped in front of others would make any man feel humiliated, especially Constantine Stewart, an extremely high-standing man.
He gazed coldly at the stubborn young woman’s little face, noticing her misty big eyes reddening, even though she was bold, her body trembled subconsciously in fear.
"Three times." The man wiped his mouth, squinting coldly and somberly, really wanting to make her pay for it, make her unable to get out of bed, just to see if she could still bare her sharp claws.
She should be kept in bed with such spirit.
Chloe Winston understood the meaning behind his words, her fingers trembling slightly, trying to stay calm as she said, "Mr. Stewart, this is a reality show; you’re too immersed in the role, next time won’t be just a slap."
After saying that, she pushed him away and was about to walk back.
Constantine Stewart’s gaze turned deep, coldly glancing at the cameraman, who then weakly hugged the equipment, with no intention of recording or broadcasting, feeling chilled to the bone with that one glance.
Constantine Stewart retracted his gaze and leisurely caught up with the young woman.
"Crap, Constantine Stewart, don’t you know how to carry some water bottles?" Desmond Wood finally found his voice, angrily shoving the backpack towards the man.
"Pervert, scumbag, hooligan..." Desmond Wood muttered curses under his breath all the way, but the man acted like he heard nothing, only sticking closely to Chloe Winston with a stern face.
Fifteen minutes later, the live broadcast finally returned to normal, but by that time, the guests had already returned to camp, and the official blog explained it was due to equipment malfunction, which was met with a storm of criticism from the masses of netizens.
Since Constantine Stewart got angry in the evening and Chloe Winston and Desmond Wood went out to look for a water source, even though they came back safely, the atmosphere at the camp was inexplicably somber.
The program group contributed the last of the pure water, swapping it for the birch sap Chloe Winston brought back. Everyone simply washed the rabbit, and wrapped up in roast meat, solved dinner nicely.
By midnight, the helicopter airlifted a water source over, and the assistant director carried two boxes of pure water to the camp, weakly asking, "Director, should we return the water to the guests over there?"
Daniel slapped him on the forehead, scolding him in frustration, "Are you stupid, bringing up irrelevant topics, don’t mention the water source issue for the next few days."
Daniel, being a sophisticated old hand, saw that Constantine Stewart, who usually handles things amicably, was angry because Chloe Winston went out looking for water, even the fools knew Mr. Stewart was venting at the program group.
"But Chloe Winston has strong survival skills, and yesterday, wasn’t she out hunting for food with Mr. Stewart? Why can’t she go look for water?" Xiao Shi asked wretchedly, "We’re originally a survival show."
"I say you’re dumb, you really are dumb; pigs are stupid to death too." Daniel scolded, yesterday Chloe Winston was out with Constantine Stewart, today she acted alone. Although Desmond Wood tagged along, Desmond Wood’s combat power was roughly zero, wasn’t it?
Daniel had disdain, let alone Constantine Stewart.
"Director, are you saying, Mr. Stewart and Chloe Winston?" Xiao Shi finally reacted, shockedly covering his mouth.
Daniel chuckled, as if to say "figured it out", he’d seen it all along.
"But that’s not right, Mr. Stewart went to pick up Chloe Winston, and they didn’t speak at all." It was basically a wordless encounter, leaving the entire camp atmosphere awkward.
"You talk too much, go, put the water by the fire, after tomorrow’s filming is done, you’ll be able to go home and sleep." Daniel said with unlimited anticipation.
The next morning, everyone appeared normal during the filming, conveniently avoiding any mention of previous events.
Since the program group had pure water, everyone got up early, did some simple grooming, and continued on their journey. When they reached the forest cabin and completed the task, led by Desmond Wood, the guests cheered, tossed their bags, and charged at Daniel with a storm of punches.
The live broadcast room was filled with joy, and finally, in the scene of Director Daniel getting mobbed back to the extent of resembling an African refugee, while the helicopter picked up the beaten down guests, ended the second episode’s filming.
Two sensational live episodes made "Let’s Fall in Love" the program with the highest popularity in the circle. In the latest popularity ranking, Chloe Winston ranked first, leaving Charles Taylor and Constantine Stewart far behind. Due to dropping out of the show midway, Lee Rose’s popularity fell drastically, sinking to the bottom and sparking countless criticisms online.
The support rate for the "Warm Winter" CP and "Chloe-Charles" CP fans remained high, with both CP fan bases fighting fiercely.
No matter the online battles, one constant was that Chloe Winston, thanks to this reality show, became famous across the country, earning countless fans, and humorously being dubbed "Prosperous Husband Physique", carrying "Koi Luck".
After filming the second episode, Chloe Winston flew directly to Imperial City, sleeping for a day and a night to recover.
Due to signing with the studio, she handed all matters over to her manager Kyla Zamora. If there was reality TV, she’d film; otherwise, she’d study textbooks, prep for exams, just like she did when she wasn’t famous, ignoring everything external.
Until Kyla Zamora called her, saying there’s an important banquet she needed to attend, as the organizer of the banquet was Leah Squire, the future Vice Admiral’s wife of Imperial City.
