Rebirth: I Became Mr.President's Beloved-Chapter 1062: My Son Was Taken Away

The next day, the group gathered to take the bus to the treasure hunting site.

Tang Li and Song Jingtian were the last to arrive.

The reason—

Song Jingtian tried to yawn, but Tang Li quickly covered his little mouth.

[Did these two sleep in?]

[+1!]

[+1!]

[+1!]

[Tang Li’s Favorite Assistant: To avoid impacting The Brightest Star’s shooting progress, Tang Li studied the script until late last night. Please, everyone, bear with us!]

[Who are you kidding!]

A vivid red bold comment emerged like a specter—

[Last night she was talking on the phone in the bathroom. I heard both the flushing and the conversation!]

[Tang Li’s Favorite Assistant: Are you nuts? Not sleeping at night and spying on people in the bathroom! @My Ningning is the only beauty No.3]

[I’m willing! Tang Li’s favorite lackey.]

[Tang Li’s Favorite Assistant: !!!]

Just after Tang Li helped Song Jingtian onto the bus, a message notification came from her cellphone; it was Yu Sui.

Yu Sui sent several screenshots, all from [My Ningning is the only beauty No.3]’s comments.

[Yu’s Family Only One]: "Must block her! Can’t let her influence the other 760,000 online viewers!"

Initially, Ah Li’s viewing numbers were lower than Liang Jing and Du Wei’s, and now, disrupted by this troublemaker, they might really fall to the bottom.

Magnifying the screenshots, Tang Li noticed that just overnight, [My Ningning is the only beauty No.3] had risen to become the live stream’s devoted fan.

Judging by the viewing duration, this person probably hadn’t slept all night.

Though surrounded by cameras, Tang Li still stepped out of the frame, found the assistant director assigned to her, and requested to block a viewer’s IP address.

"A hater, right?" The assistant director didn’t need Tang Li to explain, his expression showing he understood perfectly, "Just one IP, no big deal."

Two minutes later—

Tang Li had just sat next to Song Jingtian when the assistant director sent a message through WeChat.

[The Most Obedient Niu Niu]: "[Crying on the ground] Director Wang said it can’t be blocked."

[Tang Li]: "???"

[The Most Obedient Niu Niu]: "That [My Ningning is the only beauty] invested ten million last night. Now they’re a sponsor of our show, and they specifically requested Tang Teacher to recite the ad for their product."

Could it be true that hate turns to love in the deepest depths?

Tang Li typed back to ask: "What do they sell?"

[The Most Obedient Niu Niu]: "Anti-hair loss shampoo, the famous Wang Ba."

[Tang Li]: "......"

[Tang Li]: "Can I refuse?"

The assistant director sent a pleading emoji: "Tang Teacher, reading the ad pays twenty thousand!"

Tang Li replied: "Do I seem like I’m really in need of money?"

"Aren’t you in need of money?" Song Jingtian asked while munching on popcorn.

Tang Li turned her head and immediately faced the camera lens.

"........."

Half an hour later, the bus reached the destination.

Because of their late arrival, Tang Li’s team didn’t get a map or camels.

As soon as they got off the bus, Kang Yunxi approached: "Let’s team up."

This olive branch was extended right under the camera.

Before Tang Li could respond, Song Jingtian tugged on her sunblock jacket; the little guy had his sunglasses on, wrapped in the large scarf she lent, looking like a wealthy little granny.

He pulled Tang Li aside, whispered: "Partnering with them seems good."

The program team found a real outdoor desert.

Looking around, there was a boundless expanse of sand.

Thinking the little guy was scared, Tang Li patted his head: "In a while, you just find a shady spot to sit, I’ll go search for things."

Implicitly stating her intention not to cooperate with others.

Song Jingtian hooked his pinky finger: "How about this—you go find the spittoon first, and I’ll trick them out of their camels and map, then come after you."

Tang Li: "..."

She realized she’d been foolish.

Glimpsing Kang Yunxi and her mixed-race daughter nestled beside her, though Tang Li didn’t care much for Kang Yunxi, she wasn’t about to take advantage of an ’orphaned mother and child’.

Song Jingtian truly was a schemer.

"How about it?" The little guy was ready to act at any moment.

Seeing the photographer ready to capture, Tang Li appraised Song Jingtian’s plan: "It’s great; once you get kicked and break a rib by the camel, we won’t need to look for a spittoon anymore, we can just quit the game."

Song Jingtian: "..."

This season on the desert, the daytime temperature was only twenty-seven or twenty-eight degrees.

Still, Tang Li prepared two bottles of water.

She asked Song Jingtian to wait while she returned to the bus to fetch her backpack.

The photographer followed Tang Li onto the bus.

The little guy took a red date from his pocket, about to have some blood sugar replenishment, when that amateur female guest came by again, bent over, and opened her clenched left hand: "I brought this back from Country F, try it."

Song Jingtian glanced, then got captivated.

It was a little tiger-shaped hard candy.

Kang Yunxi asked: "Not a fan of strawberry flavor?"

"..." With those words, Song Jingtian reached for the candy.

Seeing him unwrap the candy paper, Kang Yunxi smiled: "I had this candy specially made for my son. He’s born in the year of the tiger and his favorite fruit is strawberries."

"Same for me." Song Jingtian said, sucking on the tiger candy, finally speaking up: "I am also born in the year of the tiger." He then asked: "Why didn’t you bring your son to join the show?"

Kang Yunxi slowly stood up straight, then answered: "My son was taken away by someone."

Song Jingtian glanced up but didn’t say anything.

Kang Yunxi didn’t need his prompting, she continued: "Many years ago, when my son was born, I hadn’t had the chance to even look at him properly before he became someone else’s child. I was forced to leave Country S, and alone, I wandered to a foreign land."
