So I'm the Villainess- Screw the Plot, Let's All Go Down Together! - Chapter 11

Most people were waiting to see Shen Zhi make a fool of herself, yet there wasn’t a trace of resentment or embarrassment on her face.

It was uncertain if it was an illusion, but the crowd even vaguely sensed a feeling of relief on her face.

Su Keke was about to ask Shen Zhi if she needed help when she saw Shen Zhi suddenly stride towards her after scanning the surroundings.

[“I was wondering why she’s so calm! She must have seen Keke catch a lot and shamelessly wants to ask for help!”]

[“No princess life, but a princess disease, I’ve really seen it all.”]

The crowd initially thought Shen Zhi was going to ask Su Keke to help her catch some, as among the guests, only Su Keke and she could exchange a few words.

Su Keke thought the same.

After all, with Shen Zhi’s face, she really didn’t look like someone who could do manual labor.

She thought that since she had caught some anyway, if worse came to worst, she could share some with Shen Zhi.

At this moment, Shen Zhi was already standing in front of her, and she was about to speak-

“Keke, do you have a hair tie?”

“Huh?”

Su Keke was stunned.

But she instinctively rummaged through her pocket, didn’t find a hair tie, but pulled out an eyebrow pencil.

“…”

Su Keke scratched her head awkwardly, “Hehe, I’m a no-eyebrow person, so I always carry an eyebrow pencil.”

“No problem, can I borrow this eyebrow pencil?”

“Sure, sure,” Su Keke nodded, handing over the eyebrow pencil, “but Sister Shen Zhi, you-”

Before she could finish speaking.

The tall girl in front of her had already used the eyebrow pencil as a hairpin, deftly twisting her thick long hair into a bun, and smiled at her.

“Thanks, this is much more convenient.”

The two were very close, and suddenly hit by her beauty, Su Keke’s heart raced, her face reddened, and she stammered.

“You’re welcome.”

Su Keke stared blankly as Shen Zhi walked forward a few steps, then suddenly turned back as if she remembered something.

Sunlight fell on her smooth, full face, her hair casually tied, looking relaxed and carefree.

With the blue sea behind her, she was as beautiful as a vividly colored oil painting.

At that moment, Su Keke was speechless.

It wasn’t until Shen Zhi walked further away that she snapped out of it, “Ah, did Sister Shen Zhi just talk to me? What did she say?”

How did she get so mesmerized?!

Just as Su Keke was feeling frustrated, Xie Jinyan’s lazy voice suddenly came from beside her: “She asked what you like to eat, and seeing you didn’t answer, she said she’d figure it out herself.”

[“Laughing, Shen Zhi’s promise is so big, she can only fool newbies like Keke.”]

[“…No, she seems quite confident, not panicking at all, could she really know how?”]

[“Come on, if she really knew, she wouldn’t have rushed to team up with Xu Che when he mentioned he had experience beachcombing.”]

[“Hey, just saying, didn’t anyone find her move of using the eyebrow pencil to tie her hair very cool? And that smile, damn, even as a woman, my heart raced…”]

[“Honestly, this face is flawless, even Jiang Muxue pales in comparison, but bad character is bad character, can’t be washed away.”]

“Ah…”

Su Keke looked bewildered, yet couldn’t help but feel a bit puzzled.

Why did Shen Zhi suddenly ask what she liked to eat? Could it be she wanted to catch something for her?

Although she doubted Shen Zhi could catch much, she still felt quite happy.

But…

She looked at the man standing not far from her, hands in pockets, looking lazy.

Wasn’t Xie Jinyan just standing still, refusing to move? When did he come over?

…

Xu Che left suddenly for some reason, the other staff didn’t know, but the director did.

Originally, he was worried that Shen Zhi was alone and might not manage.

He was even considering whether to secretly help her out, perhaps sneak some seafood her way.

However, in the time that followed, Shen Zhi simply left everyone stunned.

No one knew how she did it, while other guests struggled to catch a few, she had a whole basket.

She even lifted stones without hesitation to find crabs hiding underneath, tossing big ones directly into the bucket, and bending down to smile lovingly at the small ones: “Go on, call your parents over.”

Director: “…”

Audience: “…”

From initial mockery, to shock, and now numbness.

Who knows what they went through?!

[“…Damn, Shen Zhi’s move shocked my entire family.”]

[“No way, she really knows how? What female star is so skilled at beachcombing?”]

[“Thought she was a rookie, turns out she’s a pro, I was wrong, Sister Shen, I apologize.”]

[“If it weren’t for the team division, Shen Zhi could have single-handedly carried the whole show, I was shocked when I saw her move the stone to find crabs!”]

[“Little crab: trembling, who understands, family!”]

[“What kind of female protagonist script is this, I’m thrilled! I’m a fan of this woman!”]

Beachcombing time ended.

Shen Zhi single-handedly turned the tide, leading her team from last place to become today’s beachcombing champion.

When it was time to assess the results, Shen Zhi’s bucket was overflowing-not only with small fish and shrimp, but also crabs, sea snails, and sea cucumbers.

In contrast, the other three groups had a pitiful display of a few scattered items lying lonely at the bottom of their buckets.

Everyone: “…”

The live broadcast chat was flooded with “666¹.”

[Thanks to Sister Shen, I’ve truly felt the disparity between rich and poor.]

[…This is a public execution.]

[Other guests: Don’t mention it, we have dignity.]

[Where are the people who were just criticizing Shen Zhi for doing nothing and wanting to reap the benefits?]

[Sorry, I’ve already knelt down.]

[So what if she can do it? She drove Xu Che away, didn’t she?]

Looking at Shen Zhi’s bucket, which contained enough food for eight people to feast on, the director wiped his face hard.

When the production team set up this beachcombing segment, the idea was simply to have these strangers quickly bond through cooperation during the activity.

Perhaps even some flirtatious physical contact could occur.

Considering their pampered backgrounds, it was expected they wouldn’t catch much, and then the production team could swoop in, leaving the guests at their mercy for a meal…

But now?

The director closed his eyes.

Who could have predicted Shen Zhi would come out of nowhere like this?!

Pitiful? Pitiful my foot!

She’s practically smashed the locals’ rice bowls!

Recalling his moment of weakness half an hour ago when he considered going easy on Shen Zhi, the director wished he could slap himself twice.

Among the guests, Jiang Muxue looked at the rich variety of food in Shen Zhi’s bucket and sincerely exclaimed:

“Zhizhi, I didn’t expect you to be so amazing. Now we don’t have to worry about dinner tonight!”

Seeing Jiang Muxue’s delighted expression, Shen Zhi raised an eyebrow.

“My stuff-did I say I was going to share it?”
