Beauty and the Beasts

Chapter 1464: Turning Things Around

Even the audience could sense how dangerous this episode had been through the screens. While feeling heartache for the celebrities, some were also curious where the disdained-by-everyone Parker had gone.

“Could it be that the production crew hates him too much and edited out all his scenes?” Tang Li guessed.

Bai Qingqing glared at her with her mouth full of food.

Just then, a long shot appeared on her phone. On a faraway mountain, a golden-haired youth set down his luggage and briskly ran down.

“Eh? Parker?” Tang Li was shocked. “When did he go so far? It’s not easy to make it up there. What a pity for him to come back down. Quickly stop!”

Bai Qingqing was also incredibly curious. Biting her chopsticks, she even forgot to eat.

Parker quickly ran to his team and, without a word, picked up the others’ luggage and left.

In the camera, one could see the shock, heartfelt gratitude, and relief on the faces of the celebrities who were being helped. The morale in the team instantly got a big boost, and everyone helped each other out while continuing to climb up the mountain.

Tang Li sighed. “It turns out Parker went to help the others. So he’s not that annoying, after all.”

But Bai Qingqing kept feeling that at a time like this, Parker should have been in no mood to help others.

Amid the heartwarming music, the scenes were played: Carrying his own luggage, Parker moved speedily and even helped his VJ carry some stuff.

When he climbed to a high spot, he turned around and, seeing his teammates at the foot of the mountain, a trace of frustration flashed across his handsome face. “So slow. How am I going to go home if they don’t come?”

Having said that, Parker threw down his luggage and ran down the mountain again.

The students who were watching while eating: “...” Ah, so that was the real reason Parker went down the mountain to help?

“Pfft!” Bai Qingqing spat out a mouthful of rice, deeply sensing the production crew’s malice.

Couldn’t they have just shown that from the start? Why did they have to tease the viewers like that?

Looking at her classmates, she saw that they couldn’t help but laugh.

“What to do? I suddenly feel that Parker looks a bit adorable. Am I imagining things?”

“Me, too. Parker is kind of adorable.”

Following that, Parker took turns carrying up all the female team members, making everyone feel touched. When he pleaded with the VJ saying “I want to go home”, for the first time, these words entered the deep recesses of the viewers’ hearts. Only now could they sense his emotions.

The viewers couldn’t help but feel curious as to why Parker kept ranting about wanting to “go home”.

While everyone was merrily having the cookout, Parker sat on a rock all by himself. His back view exuded a lonely and desolate vibe, inexplicably infecting many people.

Everyone’s impression and attitude towards Parker instantly changed. They even felt that yesterday’s Parker was adorable to the point of having character.

After she finished watching the second episode, Bai Qingqing felt much more relaxed. She was also surprised at her classmates’ dramatic change in attitude towards Parker. There had never been such extremes in the entertainment circle.

...

Now that she had mobile data, it would be a waste not to use it. On Wednesday afternoon, Bai Qingqing searched for the repeat telecast of “Princess-Knight” and watched it again with her classmates.

Today, everyone’s focal point was entirely on Parker. In “Princess-Knight”, they were preparing to eat. After Zhang Yu and the rest finished cooking, they called for Parker.

Parker replied with the same thing, “Not eating!”

And then, he shut himself in his room.

One of the celebrities: “Parker has already gone without food for two days. This won’t do.”

“Let me go talk to him,” Zhang Yu said, then she walked to Parker’s room.

Bai Qingqing felt heartache and suddenly lost her appetite. She closed her lunchbox in an un-ladylike manner.

If this was a live telecast, she would fly to Parker’s side in a heartbeat. She would take him around for good food, and he would definitely be as happy as a child.
