Chapter 128 – Exposed (2)
They watched as Su Jishi picked up the huge nails from the ground with her slender hands. She was stunned for a while before Xiao Xia hurriedly jumped up and said, “Let me do it. I’ll go find a hammer…”
Su Jishi said, “There’s no need.”
“But the ground is very hard. How can you insert the nails with your bare hands?…”
Su Jishi curled the corners of her lip. “As long as you have a hammer in your heart, you have a hammer in your hands.”
“???”
When she finished her words, this popular A-lister picked up the towel in the basket and wrapped the fist-sized soap in it. She shook her arms and this strangely simple “hammer” really smashed the nails into the muddy ground.
Xiao Xia was speechless, the other assistants flabbergasted.
Su Jishi calmly stood up and walked to the other side, repeating the same process, smashing the second nail into the ground. Then the third, and the fourth…
By the time she finished building the entire tent, the resting region was pin-drop silent. All the assistants were stunned, in a daze. They looked at this unusual popular celebrity in shock… as well as the soap bar and towel in her hands which could be used as weapons.
“It’s fine.” Su Jishi dusted her hands and stood up, kicking the tent with her feet in order to prove its sturdiness. “Rest well. I think Chen Gangyu just finished showering. I’m going now.”
Xiao Xia seemed to have fallen from heaven. She said in a daze, “Sister Su, take care…”
…
By the time Su Jin disappeared from everyone’s gaze, the assistants suddenly rushed over and surrounded Xiao Xia quickly.
One said, “Sister Xia, Teacher Su treats you very well. This is the first time I have seen a celebrity caring for their assistant. Is she normally like this?”
Another said, “I heard that Teacher Su has only one assistant. Are you very busy then? Do you need someone to help share the burden?”
A third one said sourly, “Teacher Su has a straightforward personality. Does that apply to salary too? I heard Teacher Xu Yadan’s assistant say that Teacher Su gave you five times the salary of a normal assistant?”
Xiao Xia who had been treated as air this far has suddenly become a popular person. As assistants, who didn’t want a celebrity with a good personality?
In today’s recording, Su Jin revealed her reliable and skilled side, adding a twinkle in the eyes of all those spectating. However, none had perceived this as modesty. To them, she was simply trying to sculpt her image. But who knew that even behind the cameras, she would act the same way?
Flooded with the questions, Xiao Xia didn’t have time to answer them all. At the same time, deep in her heart, there was a strange and indescribable feeling.
Has Teacher Su always treated you this kindly?
Right. Although Su Jin was popular, she didn’t put on an attitude. She treated her like a friend. She always thanked her, was gentle and easy to get along with. Yet, she didn’t know when but Su Jin had changed. She still treated her well, but she wasn’t as ‘gentle’ anymore. She had become a sharp woman.
For example, take the tent incident. In the past, Su Jin would definitely help as well. But before helping, she would say, “Let me help you” and not “Stay to the side.”
… It was very strange… It was too strange.
Xiao Xia was Su Jin’s personal assistant. Not only did she help her with public matters she was also very helpful with her personal matters.
This huge personality change in Su Jin’s was marked as a “change of image” by the fans and media. They thought that she was changing her style and going from the national sister to being a mature sister.

Yet, Xiao Xia knew how strange Su Jin’s change was.
The past Su Jin was gentle like water. The Su Jin right now was like a pot of boiling water. In the middle of the night, rascals had attempted to mob them, but she was able to chase them away by herself with a hammer. When she’d encountered a perverted business partner at the dinner party, she’d splashed the glass of wine on their face, nonchalantly… Don’t mention climbing the mountains and walking these paths. She didn’t complain at all! These hardships were like drizzles in her eyes.
These were never things that the past Su Jin would’ve done!
Could a rabbit grow sharp claws overnight? Of course not!
A brazen but absurd guess bloomed in Xiao Xia’s heart, but she suppressed it.
Stop thinking about nonsense! Sister Su is Sister Su. How could she have been replaced? It’s not like we’re in a novel right now!
It felt like two people were fighting inside her. She was swaying between reason and emotion.
Yet, at this time, clatters erupted by the camping ground. Shrieks overtopped shrieks. It was unclear who yelled.
“Quick! Don’t let the snake escape!”
She looked over to see a huge snake the thickness of a wrist, about a meter long slithering on the ground. It whooshed past like lightning!
The two instructors chased after it, but the wild snake was extremely familiar with the topography. It quickly vanished within the bushes.
Soon after, shouts sounded from the east.
“It’s here!”
Then from the west.
“Ahhhhh! There’s a snake!”
There were thirty or so people in the entire program group, but all of them were yelling and screaming because of a snake. They almost rummaged through all the tents.
Of the cries of help, the teen idol, Qin Qiu’s voice was the most prominent. “Oh no! It’s heading for the bathroom!”
Xiao Xia’s head buzzed. At this time, she couldn’t attend to her concerns. She ran towards the bathroom right away.
There was no door to the simple bathroom, just a curtain separating it from outside. A long water pipe was linked to the rocks above, leaving just a crack.
Outside the bathroom, Chen Gangyu who had just finished showering fell limp on the ground, her face losing its color. She glanced in the direction of the bathroom in fear, terrified.
The calm, huge snake just slithered past her. Her mind was blank right now. She couldn’t even form complete words, finally managing to squeeze some words.

“Teacher… Teacher Su… still there… snake…”
Xiao Xia’s eyes teared up and she immediately rushed in when the two instructors pulled her.
They hurriedly said, “You can’t go in now! You’ll startle the snake!”
Sobbing, Xiao Xia said, “But Sister Su is still there!”
“Don’t worry. It’s not poisonous. It’s just huge, but…”
