Shen Shiqing regained some of her senses.

Once inside the living room, the cameras will no longer be turned on individually. This means that all guests' individual cameras will be turned off after entering the living room, and those who want to watch the live stream can only watch the cameras in the living room.

After all, this is only the first phase of getting acquainted. Once the game officially starts in the wilderness, individual camera positions will be online throughout.

Let's see who it is first.

The person walking in front was dressed very casually; to put it bluntly, they had a lazy vibe.

This must be Du Hewen, a double Best Actor winner. This Best Actor and his wife got married early on, which made countless girls cry their eyes out.

He participated in this program because he is a close friend of the director, Bu Yaomin; otherwise, who could have persuaded him to participate?

After all, the value of a movie star rises accordingly.

Holy crap, is this the Best Actor? He's practically glowing!

[Just came from a personal camera angle, I just can't get enough of looking at this Best Actor!]

【Brother Supermarket Me (Shhh)】

[A word of caution: Your sister-in-law will really punish you later, Brother Du, when you get home you'll be kneeling on a washboard, hahaha!]

Walking behind the movie star was Xing Jianan, who was Wen Xinran's classmate in college and also the ex-boyfriend of the original owner, Shen Shiqing.

He is the culprit who broke up with the original owner, making her cry in the rain but never look back.

He's currently very popular, having entered the summer season with his role as a young general, becoming many people's "August boyfriend" at the time.

However, he has a somewhat cold personality. It's just a mystery how the original owner, Shen Shiqing, got together with him and how they broke up.

The person next to Xing Jianan needs no introduction; with dyed blond hair and a youthful air about him, that's idol Qin Shiyue.

The two walked in side by side.

Holy crap, those two are so good-looking! Who doesn't love handsome guys?!

[Xing Jianan, I'm telling you, you're too handsome. Your good looks have instantly captured my heart.]

Qin Shiyue is so energetic!

[Hahahaha, Xing Jianan looks so cool, while Qin Shiyue is grinning from ear to ear. Doesn't anyone think they look like Grumpy and Brainless?]

The three of them came in, greeted each other, and the atmosphere became lively.

Shen Shiqing had already woken up by this moment, and she felt that several gazes were intentionally or unintentionally falling on her.

One was from Wen Xinran, one from Xing Jianan, and one from Qin Shiyue.

She could understand Wen Xinran's gaze, since in Wen Xinran's eyes, Shen Shiqing was a rival in love.

But what's with Xing Jianan and Qin Shiyue? I've never seen a fairy before.

Look at the female lead! Why are you looking at me?!

One abandoned the original owner, causing her great distress, but then turned around and silently protected Wen Xinran; the other was relentlessly pursuing the original owner one second, but then fell hopelessly in love with Wen Xinran the next.

In the original book, both of them were admirers of the female lead.

Shen Shiqing didn't understand, nor did she want to understand.

However, after Shen Shiqing glanced around, they all shifted their gaze.

Please, stop pretending, it's really obvious.

"Excuse me, I'm going to get some water." The kettle was almost empty, so Shen Shiqing said goodbye and turned to go into the tea room.

After Shen Shiqing left, another person made an excuse to leave the living room. Xing Jianan lowered his head, a few unfathomable thoughts flashing in his eyes.

There were no cameras in the tea room; Shen Shiqing had already discovered that.

While we're at it, let's see what food is available.

Unexpectedly, after searching for a long time, they still couldn't find anything. What is the production team doing?

Shen Shiqing was completely unaware that there was someone behind him.

[Sister, it's been a long time. Did you miss me?] The boy's voice was light and cheerful, but Shen Shiqing felt it was a little strained.

Why do I feel inexplicably sticky?

"Who are you calling 'sister'? I had no idea my mom gave birth to a brother like you."

Qin Shiyue: ...

Wronged.

The chat in the live stream started arguing again.

After all, some people are forever young, forever chasing stars, and forever arguing.

[Why did Qin Shiyue leave right after Shen Shiqing? Something's not right.]

Is Shen Shiqing about to start seducing people again? How many sugar daddies has he had? He'll just go around seducing anyone he sees; a leopard can't change its spots. He's even trying to seduce people on TV shows.

[Does the person above have to stop spreading rumors? Can you please stop being so malicious towards girls?]

However, many of the people spreading rumors about girls in the entertainment industry are also girls, which is probably a tragedy of this society.

When Shen Shiqing returned with the water, Qin Shiyue followed closely behind. However, no one noticed the red mark on his wrist, which he covered with his sleeve.

But other people are other people, and the female lead is the female lead. She is not one of the "nobody" categories.

She spotted the red mark on Qin Shiyue's hand very quickly.

"Oh dear, Shiyue, why is your hand red?" Wen Xinran pulled Qin Shiyue's hand over, glancing at Shen Shiqing. "Is it a burn? It looks like a burn. How could you be so careless?"

After saying that, he pulled Qin Shiyue to apply the medicine.

"It's alright, thank you, Sister Ranran. I'll just rinse it with water." After saying that, she left her seat and went to the tea room.

But how did it get burned? Did I accidentally touch it just now?

Oh well, serves him right.

[Holy crap, when did Shiyue get injured?]

[Waaaa, it breaks Mom's heart to see her hands so red and raw, and she doesn't say a word. It seems the sensible child doesn't get any treats.]

Thank goodness Sister Xinran found out. Thank you, Sister Xinran, you're beautiful and kind-hearted, unlike some people.

I suspect it was Shen Shiqing who did it. Everything was fine just now, how did it turn out like this as soon as he came back?

I also have my doubts.

[I had heard before that Shen Shiqing had violent tendencies, was petty, and even bullied Wen Xinran, a fellow member of the same company. Now that I see him bullying the younger male contestant on the same show, I think what he said is true.]

[Hey, haven't you guys heard about that gossip? Shen Shiqing pursued Qin Shiyue, and he probably got angry and embarrassed after his advances were rejected. Poor little brother.]

[Oh my god, getting involved with Shen Shiqing is the end of me. The male celebrities' fans on the show are on high alert; Shen Shiqing is no good.]

...

Shen Shiqing sat down and started drinking tea again, feeling that if he kept drinking, he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

Footsteps sounded, and Shi Xia, who was sitting near the door, was the first to notice. "Ah, is it a mystery guest? I'm so excited!"

Shi Xia couldn't help but strain to look towards the door, but it had been closed earlier, so she couldn't see anything clearly.

The door creaked open.

Shi Xia was the first to see the person enter, and she jumped up immediately before sitting down again. Xia Chun and Wen Xinran next to her looked completely bewildered.

When they saw who it was, they stood up, their excitement written all over their faces.

Shen Shiqing's view was blocked by the women who stood up, so she couldn't see who came in. However, it didn't matter to her. All she wanted was to save her life; nothing else mattered.

When the mystery guest appeared on camera, a large number of people flooded into the live stream, and the number of viewers instantly exceeded ten million.

Tens of thousands of comments flooded the screen, causing the live stream server to crash instantly. Fortunately, the production team had anticipated this and had already made improvements, so the server was quickly restored.

[Oh my god, is this real? Someone punch me to bring me back to my senses!]

[Waaaaah, production team, I'll never criticize you again! You're my god for bringing in Lu Jingchu!]

Wow, wow, I thought Du Hewen was already impressive enough, but this guy is even more heavyweight!

[How did the production team manage to invite someone like Lu Jingchu? Their ancestors' graves must be emitting auspicious smoke!]

[Only actor Lu could bring a live stream down.]

[Help! This is amazing!! My heart is racing, my breathing is quickening!! My ability to purify smog surpasses that of tropical rainforests!! I will become the new lungs of the Earth!! I will turn the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau into a basin with a thud!! I will cry until the South-to-North Water Diversion Project is no longer needed!! I will howl until the wind power generated supplies the world's population!!!]

[Husband, kiss me! Quick! (Roars) (Turns into a monkey) (Flies into the primeval forest) (Swings on vines) (Chuangfei passes by a monkey eating a banana) (Roars) (Turns into a monkey) (Flies into the primeval forest) (Swings on vines) (Chuangfei passes by a monkey eating a banana) (Roars) (Turns into a monkey) (Flies into the primeval forest) (Swings on vines)]

Don't call just anyone "husband," after all, he's my husband.

[Thank you, Actor Lu, for curing my strabismus that I've had for years. My eyes practically pop out when I see Actor Lu.]

[(Appears with a rose in her mouth) Good evening, my husband, I wonder if you... (gets pricked in the mouth) (hurries away)]

[Hey, you guys, don't go too far...]

[...]

Shen Shiqing thought it would be strange if she didn't stand up when so many people had stood up, so she also stood up.

The man at the door had just pushed it open and entered her field of vision.

How could it be him?

The familiar silhouette and deep eyes told Shen Shiqing that it was indeed him.

The man she met in the alley that day.

How did he end up here?

Moreover, given how excited the people at the scene were, Shen Shiqing knew that he must be no ordinary person.

Shen Shiqing was still in disbelief when he came to his senses. Could it be that the person he had casually saved was actually a big shot in the entertainment industry?

I don't know whether to call it lucky or unlucky.

The newcomer walked in, greeted everyone politely, and his every move captivated everyone's attention.

Shen Shiqing gleaned crucial information from their greetings: Lu Jingchu.

Lu Jingchu?

Is this person in the book?

Shen Shiqing quickly searched his mind, but still couldn't recall anything.

She was certain that this person didn't exist in the book, so why did he suddenly appear out of nowhere?

There were no warning signs.

Shen Shiqing couldn't figure it out; he couldn't explain it.

Could it be that he's also one of the heroine's admirers? After all, in those kinds of stories, all the men have to revolve around the heroine.

If that's the case, shouldn't we stay away from him?

Shen Shiqing did not greet them like the others, but instead moved aside as if to avoid them.

You can't see me, you can't see me.

Shen Shiqing silently prayed: Don't come any closer. Mom said that the more handsome a man is, the more dangerous he is.

Lu Jingchu seemed to have heard something interesting, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

The next second, Lu Jingchu sat down directly next to Shen Shiqing.

It really is true that what you fear most often comes to pass.

"It's nice to meet you..." Shen Shiqing knew he couldn't avoid it, so he started to greet her, but he was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"We meet again." Lu Jingchu's eyes were smiling, making Shen Shiqing almost lose his composure.

Those around were also surprised to hear this. Did Actor Lu know Shen Shiqing?

That's impossible!

The internet was also stunned, and then thousands more comments flooded in.

[Holy crap, did I hear that right? Did I hear that right? Someone tell me, what did the Oscar-winning actor just say?]

[Shen Shiqing actually knows Lu Yingdi? A washed-up actress with a lot of scandals x a young, famous, national heartthrob and a Grand Slam movie star - what a strange pairing!]

[Furthermore, Shen Shiqing was supposed to say "It's a pleasure to meet you," but the movie star interrupted her by saying "We meet again." Doesn't that seem strange? Think about it carefully! Think about it carefully! There's definitely something wrong with those two sentences!]

[Why does it feel like Shen Shiqing was just dodging to the side?]

I feel the same way, and I don't think it's just my imagination.

Stop messing around, the Best Actor deserves all the credit.

[Those who are no longer popular should stay away from being called movie stars...]

[Get away from me, Shen Shiqing! Stay away from your brother!!!]

[On a side note, they look so good together! My fellow fans, I need to take a screenshot right away!]

Why are you taking a screenshot?! Stop standing there! Oh, wait, why are you standing there?! Take a screenshot!

[...]

Shen Shiqing snapped out of his daze and nodded to Lu Jingchu in response.

At this moment, all eight people in the hall had gathered, each with a different expression.

Du Hewen's gaze shifted back and forth between Shen Shiqing and Lu Jingchu, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Wen Xinran and Xia Chun both glanced in Lu Jingchu's direction, seemingly unintentionally.

Wen Xinran's face seemed to say: she was determined to win.

Wait a minute, Song Zhihuai is the male lead, even though you're the female lead, you don't have to take all the men in your life, do you?

But Shen Shiqing was surprised to find that Xia Chun's face had turned slightly red.

Could it be that she likes Lu Jingchu?

These two sisters are quite a sight to behold.

Shi Xia had long since regained her composure, and her face looked no different from usual.

Xing Jianan and Qin Shiyue, on the other hand, kept looking in her direction, and it was unclear what they were thinking.

Shen Shiqing lowered his head and took a sip of tea; he was so hungry.

Now that everyone's here, and Lu Jingchu has made his appearance, isn't it time to eat? Isn't it time to eat?!

Shen Shiqing roared inwardly.

Lu Jingchu, who was beside him, seemed to tremble slightly and asked:

"Excuse me, is it time to eat now?"
