Chapter 151: The Aloof Best Actor is a Crybaby

Jiang Ciyou watched the man crying, tears streaming down like rain on pear blossoms. She suddenly felt a bit flustered.

“Teacher Si, please don’t cry, okay?”

“Teacher Si, I was wrong…”

“Getting lost is no big deal. We just need to find our way back.”

She had to admit it.

This man cried beautifully.

It softened Jiang Ciyou’s heart completely.

The Triple Crown Best Actor title was no exaggeration; those eyes that had conquered the film industry countless times were filled with a complex mix of emotions—guilt, self-blame, sorrow—at this moment like a dam bursting from a deep pool.

His tears were magnificent, just like in the movies.

Jiang Ciyou remembered that Si Yufeng’s first Best Actor award came from a tragic role where his heartbreaking crying won him countless fans.

“Teacher Si, let me apologize, alright?”

In the livestream chat:

【??? How is the usually aloof Best Actor such a crybaby?】

【I was about to scold Jiang Ciyou, but now, her awkward face is really funny.】

【Sister You is left speechless. Look at the height difference—it’s like a little rabbit coaxing the big bad wolf?】

【…Don’t you know? As a loyal fan of Si Yufeng for ten years, he really loves to cry. Once when he visited the set alone because no one accompanied him to eat, he quietly ate while crying. Another time at a fan meeting, someone said his clothes were ugly, and he cried too… We fans were helpless.】

【Yeah, and the reason he wears sunglasses isn’t to look cool—old fans know he actually has social anxiety…】

【Whoever made him cry has to be the one to comfort him…】

Jiang Ciyou really kept comforting him.

Mainly because this man’s crying was so shattered, it made her start to wonder if she had done something unforgivably terrible.

Bo Jinxiu stood still for a moment, watching.

Finally, unable to bear it, he furrowed his brow and walked over.

“Teacher Si, if you keep crying, there’ll be a flood.”

Si Yufeng’s eyes were red, his lips bitten hard as he finally held back the tears.

“Teacher Bo, Teacher Jiang, I’m sorry. I couldn’t hold it in. I’m sorry to you both. I thought I could find the original path, but the farther I went, the more lost I became. I’m sorry to everyone for picking all those poisonous mushrooms and making us starve.”

As he spoke, Si Yufeng’s eyes reddened again, as if golden tears might drop any second.

Jiang Ciyou was truly frightened.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. I know you want to cry, but please don’t cry for now, Teacher Si. We need to figure out a way first.”

Si Yufeng restrained himself: “I won’t cry.”

Jiang Ciyou didn’t even know where they had ended up now.

She could only look up at Xiao Feifei.

“Director, you wouldn’t just abandon us, right~?”

A mischievous mechanical voice came from inside.

“Not at all~ hehe.”

Jiang Ciyou clenched her fingers tightly.

She definitely wanted to meet Director Xie Ming someday.

Suddenly, Bo Jinxiu spoke up, “Do you hear that? Sounds like running water.”

The three held their breath and listened carefully.

Sure enough, the music seemed to carry the sound of water flowing.

“It should be on the other side of the mountain.”

They climbed over a hill.

Suddenly, an open view appeared before them.

There was a crystal-clear stream right in front of them.

At the stream’s end was a pool, with waterfalls continuously pouring into it.

Jiang Ciyou hurried over.

The stream was clear to the bottom. She scooped up some water and touched it with her tongue.

Then she suddenly brightened up. “It’s fresh water. This is fresh water.”

Finding a fresh water source naturally brought joy.

But there were two problems.

First, they had no idea where they were.

Second, how to carry this fresh water back.

Bo Jinxiu spoke, “We should be close to the base, within about a kilometer. Teacher Si just took us on a detour.”

Jiang Ciyou was surprised. “How do you know?”

Bo Jinxiu pointed to a wild jujube tree overhead.

“In this forest, the cameras are placed in a pattern. If I’m right, every hundred meters there are four cameras, each facing east, south, west, and north. Following the route we took, we passed 48 cameras along the axes, so the straight-line distance is roughly one kilometer.”

“From now on, if we find any camera, I can deduce the way back.”

Jiang Ciyou was amazed.

“But there are so many cameras, all identical. How do you identify each one?”

“Each camera’s surroundings and location are different. I’ve memorized them and assigned coordinates to each. Finding just one lets me pinpoint the route home.”

Bo Jinxiu glanced at Jiang Ciyou. “Even if we can’t find a camera, I roughly remember the way. Worst case, we retrace our steps, which is only a few extra kilometers.”

Shock flickered in Jiang Ciyou’s eyes.

She knew Bo Jinxiu was smart, with a photographic memory.

But she hadn’t expected him to be this brilliant.

Bo Jinxiu raised an eyebrow at Jiang Ciyou. “If you want to praise me, just say it.”

Jiang Ciyou snorted coldly. “You’ve got yourself all worked up.”

In the livestream:

【What on earth did the prince just say? No wonder some people don’t understand variety shows nowadays without culture.】

【As a math PhD, I’ve never seen such an amazing way to locate something. First, he distinguishes the 48 cameras based on their surroundings, then memorizes their directions, creates a mental map with coordinates, and calculates the shortest way back... This isn’t a human brain, it’s a computer.】

【Something doesn’t feel right... Kneeling down really helps.】

【The prince is so narcissistic, even forcing Sister You to praise him. Does Sister You even care about you?】

They weren’t worried about getting back anymore.

Now, they just needed to find a way to bring fresh water back.

Jiang Ciyou looked around.

She found a banana tree.

She picked some large banana leaves.

With skilled hands, she folded them a few times.

A funnel-shaped water container appeared before them.

Si Yufeng was stunned and his eyes began to glow with admiration.

“Teacher Jiang is just as amazing as Yinyin said.”

Jiang Ciyou folded three banana leaf funnels, then handed one to each of them.

“Let’s collect some water to bring back. Filling these three should be enough.”

The three went to the stream to fill water.

After squatting down, Jiang Ciyou’s gaze suddenly fixed on the surface of the stream.

Si Yufeng finished filling his container and approached.

“Teacher Jiang, what are you looking at?”

Jiang Ciyou pointed at the clear water. “Look, there are shrimp in there.”

Si Yufeng looked into the rushing stream.

Sure enough, there were fish, shrimp, and crabs.

Quite a few of them.

“Teacher Jiang, you’re not thinking of catching some fish and shrimp to take back, are you?”

Having been scolded by Jiang Ciyou before, Si Yufeng was noticeably more talkative.

Jiang Ciyou had already stood up.

She began taking off her shoes.

Si Yufeng continued, “Teacher Jiang, this isn’t an ordinary stream. The water is deep and fast. It’s dangerous to go in.”
