Tan Rou and the others were speechless; they were just discussing how to comfort Li Li, only to find that she didnât need any comforting at all. Instead, she was finding joy in amusing herself. Their worries were truly superfluous.
âNow you see how simple her love life is,â Lan Ning commented calmly. âPeople say impulse is the devil, but every time her heart flutters, itâs the result of an impulse, and then, in less than a week, her infatuation cools down. By the time the person reappears in front of her, she canât even remember their name anymore.â
âThatâs because my brain capacity is so limited,â Li Li said. âIâve already used up most of it to remember knowledge, how could I have the space to fit those people in?â
Tan Rou pursed her lips, âIn the future, letâs not go watch your male gods anymore. When you have a boyfriend, Iâll definitely give you a big gift. Until then, donât introduce me to people youâre interested in.â
Li Li chuckled, âOh, Tan Rou, donât sweat the small stuff. The people I fancy can very quickly become boyfriends, thatâs how yours came about, isnât it?â
âIâm nothing like you with your fickle heart,â Tian Tian retorted. âI only love my husband.â
âYeah, I only have eyes for Zhuang Liu too,â Tan Rou added.
Li Li then turned her gaze to Liang Lu, who said in surprise, âArenât you very clear about my situation with Mr. Lu?â
Liang Lu had gotten into the habit of calling Lu Qing âMr. Lu,â while he would call her âDirector Liang.â These were terms of endearment.
Thinking it over, Li Li realized that she was the only one who had been single all along, constantly shifting her affections from one person to another, never liking someone for more than a month. To be attracted to someone for a week was already quite an accomplishment for her.
âForget it,â Li Li resignedly said. âIâll like someone for as long as it lasts. I would find it exhausting to be with one man for my entire life.â
Tan Rou and the others swore never to accompany Li Li on her wild excursions again, because she wasnât serious about pursuing anyone; she just thought someone looked handsome and wanted to look at them a bit longer. Once sheâd had her fill, her interest faded.
But Li Li still had some feelings for Wu Hao; after all, he was excellent in so many ways, especially his handsome face, which was enough for her to appreciate for a few more days.
âTan Rou, could you help me ask Tao Zheng if the video is ready?â Li Li looped her arm through Tan Rouâs and said affectionately, âIâll treat you to a meal.â
Curiously, Tan Rou asked, âYou can see for yourself in the group chat. Besides, he already rejected you, why do you still want to help him get the video?â
âItâs not like I donât like him, so I think I can still try,â Li Li replied. âAnd since Iâve already promised him, I canât go back on my word.â
âOkay,â Tan Rou nodded. âIâll ask for you.â
Photographers didnât all work at the same time; they each followed for about half the track. Generally, at any given time, there were only four photographers shooting simultaneously, much like a relay raceâan exchange where one photographerâs shooting session would end and another would take their place, taking turns to rest.
When some of the photographers had downtime, they had the opportunity to post the videos in the group chat.
Tan Rou and Li Li had also been added to the group by Tao Zheng in advance because he found it too troublesome to forward videos and was also uncertain about what Li Li wanted, so he simply added her to the group to pick for herself.
A photographer uploaded the processed videos to the group, and one of them said, âWhile shooting, I noticed something. Some of the contestants didnât seem to have their minds on the long-distance running; they were deliberately causing trouble inside. I saw a short contestant constantly bumping into others.â
Another photographer added, âI saw it too. Those people have no sportsmanship at all. If it were in our competitions, I would have reported them already.â
Li Li asked, âIs there any video footage? Could you post more about the bumping incident?â
Immediately, many videos and photos were shared in the group, with some clearly showing the person bumping into others.
âThank you all,â Li Li responded.
A photographer commented, âWeâre just photographers this time, and itâs not our place to say anything. If you need the video, just leave a message in the group and we will shoot more.â
