Chapter 238 The only thing hard about him is his mouth!
As the two of them expected, An Zhongguo started complaining of leg pain before they even reached the halfway point of the mountain. His face turned visibly pale, and he lost all interest in contradicting Jiang Chengcheng.
Seeing An Zhongguo's condition, Li Juncan quickly handed him his hiking poles. However, An Zhongguo was old and in poor physical condition. In the end, he could neither walk nor go down, and the cable car halfway up the mountain was still some distance away.
Helpless, Li Juncan had no choice but to carry the other person uphill. But even with his good stamina, he was carrying an adult man, and he was exhausted along the way, constantly cursing under his breath.
Thinking about how old An Zhongguo is, why does he still insist on participating in this kind of variety show!
If you're not going to participate, just let the crew know if you really can't climb up and take the cable car instead.
But the other party insisted on saving face and suffered for it, going against the locals and refusing to listen to reason.
.........
When they finally reached the halfway point of the mountain and saw the cable car in the distance, Li Juncan finally breathed a sigh of relief. But just as he was about to help the other person up, An Zhongguo, who had recovered on his back, started acting up again and refused to go up no matter what.
"I don't need the cable car! This is nothing! I can still manage! I'm much better now! It was just motion sickness!" An Zhongguo stubbornly refused to get on the cable car. The people behind him who were waiting to get on the cable car were getting impatient with him not moving and urged him to get off if he really couldn't take it anymore and not block the way!
Lee Jun-chan, who was working himself to the bone, almost couldn't help but curse out loud when he heard this!
Damn it! Aren't you tired?! I'm exhausted from carrying you all this way!
Normally when filming on set, An Zhongguo would rely on his seniority and like to act like a big shot, giving orders and pontificating. Everyone would tolerate him because they didn't want to make a scene in front of the camera. But today, even though he was clearly about to collapse, he still refused to take the cable car up the mountain.
If he can't hold on halfway, there's no cable car on the mountain to make him back out!
"Senior An, you should take the cable car instead. Don't tire yourself out."
"Yes, health is the most important thing, and you're getting old."
Everyone noticed that Li Juncan's expression was off, and they naturally knew what he was thinking.
The group was already out of breath from walking, let alone Li Juncan carrying An Zhongguo on his back the whole way. It was no different from carrying more than 100 pounds of weight. It was only because Li Juncan was used to exercising that he was exhausted. Anyone else would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago!
Cui Huixian and her group tried to persuade An Zhongguo in a subtle way, asking him to consider others as well. However, An Zhongguo took their words to heart and thought they were belittling him. So he snorted and became even more determined, refusing to take the cable car up the mountain no matter what, making himself look like a martyr who sacrificed his life for righteousness.
Of course! In fact, everyone was just speechless and annoyed with him, but in order to maintain their public image, no one dared to say it out loud.
Li Juncan pursed his lips to himself, the dry cracks on his lips indicating that he was somewhat dehydrated. Watching An Zhongguo leave without the slightest hesitation, he kept cursing inwardly with a cold face.
Damn it! If I let him get away with this, I'll be the number one idiot in the world!
An Zhongguo's stubbornness was evident in his tragic fate just ten minutes later, perfectly illustrating what it means to be all talk and no action!
Before ten minutes had passed, he started wailing again.
However, Li Juncan learned his lesson this time and pretended not to hear, continuing to walk forward in silence.
Even a clay figure has some spirit, let alone Lee Jun-chan, who is still a young man.
The people around pretended not to hear An Zhongguo's cries of pain. Even if they had heard them, they were powerless to help, since not everyone had the physique of Li Juncan.
An Zhongguo continued to walk forward while wailing, but no one paid any attention to him no matter how long he called out.
Wait a minute? Why is nobody paying attention to me?
An Zhongguo was puzzled. Normally, they would have surrounded him long ago. After all, in order to maintain his image, even if he was just putting on an act in front of the camera, they wouldn't let him go unattended.
An Zhongguo understood this point perfectly, which is why he was able to easily control Li Juncan, even though Li Juncan was already exhausted and breathless, he still had to carry him to climb higher.
Little did he know that everyone was so exhausted that they were practically collapsing, and they weren't even thinking about maintaining any kind of ridiculous persona!
Seeing that no one paid any attention to him, An Zhongguo could only walk silently with his head down. However, due to the lack of exercise for a long time, the soles of his feet hurt so much that he cried out in pain. By the time the group reached the top of the mountain, he was already limping and unable to walk normally.
Seeing An Zhongguo's miserable state, Li Juncan and the others felt no pity whatsoever, thinking that the old man deserved it!
Only a few staff members on the mountain saw this scene and thought that An Zhongguo had been injured along the way. They rushed over, helped him to a stool, and asked him what was wrong.
"Hmph! None of these juniors respect me! They didn't even ask how I was doing! They just told me to walk all the way here by myself! If it weren't for my good stamina, I probably would have been abandoned halfway and no one would have known!" An Zhongguo sneered at the staff around him. He could lie without even thinking, and his ability to distort the truth was unparalleled.
"This..." The staff members exchanged glances upon hearing this, unsure of what to say. After all, they were just ordinary workers; they couldn't very well be expected to reprimand these popular celebrities, could they? Unless they wanted to end up working in the industry.
Everyone was furious when they heard An Zhongguo's distorted words, but out of consideration for their reputation, no one stepped forward to argue with him.
"Alright! Alright! Now that we're up here, let's rest for a bit and then start the game." Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit off, the director quickly changed the subject to smooth things over. An Zhongguo had taken the crew's money, so he didn't want to make things too ugly and just snorted coldly without saying anything more.
.........
After finally reaching the top of the mountain, Jiang Chengcheng leaned against a stone bench to rest. While watching the others play games, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "Being a celebrity must be quite tiring."
By the time the game was over, it was almost noon. Everyone was starving and exhausted, so they took the cable car back down the mountain.
.........
Perhaps because they were too tired and hungry, when they arrived at the food street and saw the dazzling array of food, they were almost moved to tears!
"Waaaaah~~ This place is simply a dream paradise!"
"It smells so good! Is it because I'm so hungry? I've never been so eager to try every dish here!"
"China truly lives up to its reputation as a land of culinary delights! All these dishes are dazzling; I don't even know which one to eat!"
Everyone's eyes lit up as they looked at the vendors on the street, and even An Zhongguo couldn't help but swallow hard.
This……
It looks so delicious!
