Chapter 31 Result "I don't like people that Luo doesn't like either. ...

The long sofa in the lobby of the homestay was removed and replaced with twelve single chairs, which were placed in a circle around the lobby.

The staff gave each guest a piece of paper and a pen, as well as a folder for them to use as a pad of paper.

There should be three options on the paper: Yes, No, and Abstain. There are two rows of options.

"The person being voted for in the top row of options is Jun, and the one below is Gao Luo." Ning Heng said.

The guests all put their pens on the "Yes" option in the first row, and then heard Ning Heng announce the content of the vote: "The question you are voting on is whether to let "Him" leave."

Several people almost started writing, but put their pens back in a hurry.

Ning Heng then added the rules: "In the end, only the votes for 'yes' will be counted. After I start the timer, you must make your choice within 20 seconds, and then the votes will be counted on the spot. Okay, start the timer."

Not only was the content of the vote unexpected, but the sudden timing also caught people off guard.

As soon as they heard the countdown start, the guests couldn't help but get nervous. They threw their original plans and thoughts out the window and could only make choices based on their subconscious.

Why do you all seem so panicked all of a sudden? what happens? 】

[The topic is different now. At first everyone thought it was about "Who do you want to stay", including the large-scale online voting, where the topic was "Who do you think will stay?" But the director got it reversed. 】

What’s the difference? 】

【That’s a big difference. If you want to keep someone, you are showing goodwill to that person. Whether or not you let Him go is a clear expression of your hostility. Not to mention that in the entertainment industry, everyone has to create a good persona in order to gain popularity. Even in real life, colleagues have to put on a show of being nice to each other. 】

[Independent voting cannot follow the trend. I guess the artists will all choose "no". As for the children, it's hard to say. 】

[No wonder they have to sit separately, to prevent the artists from making decisions for the children. 】

The votes of more than two million people across the entire network became invalid because Ning Heng asked the questions in the opposite direction.

They forgot that before the show was officially aired, Ning Heng used two makeup artists to stir up conflicts between the guests.

Since Ning Heng can come up with the idea of ​​making a guest eliminate another guest, it is impossible for him to come up with a well-intentioned question. He is best at discovering the evil in human nature, and he also enjoys seeing that evil exposed to the public.

The twenty-second voting time is over and the votes are counted on the spot.

Xu Man went to count the votes and announced the results: Jun had four votes and Gao Luo had two votes.

Wen Cheng was confused at that moment. He even suspected that he had heard the question wrong, or that everyone had heard the question wrong, otherwise how could Jun's votes be two higher than Gao Luo's.

Ning Heng was very understanding and helped him resolve the confusion in his heart, which made him give up more completely.

Ning Heng asked each guest to briefly explain the reason for voting.

As soon as he said this, the whole screen of the broadcast room was filled with shock:

[It means not only telling the other person, I hate you, but also telling them specifically why I hate you? 】

[You just don't want to show any mercy to anyone and not let them stay? Just break up. 】

[I feel like those who voted will turn around and walk away when we meet them in public in the future. 】

[Once the vote was released, the entire network knew that they were rivals. 】

Only two people voted for Luo, without a doubt, they were Jun and Wen Cheng.

Wen Cheng actually thought about whether to vote "abstention" because he was afraid that it would be too obvious and affect passers-by's impression of him. But he was also afraid that without his vote, Jun's situation would be disadvantageous.

After a brief thought, he voted for Gao Luo.

Ning Heng asked them to tell the reasons for their vote.

What's the reason for this? I just hate it.

Wen Cheng asked Jun to speak first. Jun was confused by the voting result. He could not listen to Ning Heng's words at all. He just murmured, "I have more votes? Does that mean I will be eliminated?"

He looked so flustered and at a loss.

Wen Cheng's mind was also in a mess and he couldn't comfort Jun. He said to Ning Heng: "Let others speak first."

No one else voted for Gao Luo, so we can only ask the four people who voted for Jun what their reasons were.

Ask Gao Luo first. Gao Luo feels that Ning Heng’s question is unnecessary: ​​“Didn’t I tell you that night? Why are you asking me again?”

She almost had the words "I hate Jun" carved on her face, and she's still asking!

Ning Heng: “…”

He stopped asking Gao Luo and started asking Gao Shule.

He wanted to see what excuses Gao Shule, such a cowardly and weak person, could come up with.

He thought Gao Shule would choose to answer from Gao Luo's perspective, for example, she was in the same group with Gao Luo, so she should support her unconditionally. But I didn't expect her to point out Jun's problem directly.

"Jun wronged Luo, hurt her, and chose to ignore it. He made Luo unhappy."

The implication is that anyone who makes Luo unhappy should leave.

This answer surprised Ning Heng a little, and the people in the live broadcast room were also a little surprised.

[My sister is so strong!] 】

[She can tolerate other things, but Gao Shule has always stood firm on the issue of A'Luo. 】

[It can be seen that A Luo is my sister’s bottom line.] 】

Ning Heng then asked the other two people.

The two people who voted made netizens most curious, because they would never have thought that someone would vote for Jun to be eliminated.

It can be said that Ning Heng walked towards that person - Xiaonian - under the attention of the entire network.

Xiaonian's expression was innocent and cute: "I don't like people that Luo doesn't like either."

Seeing that it was Little New Year, everyone was surprised, but they could understand it.

Children's preferences are pure, and their friendships are also pure. They don't understand the ways of the world and only know that people who hurt their good friends are bad people.

But when they saw the other person, no one could understand. Even Ning Heng couldn't understand it.

That person is Xia Shi.

Xia Shi participated in the filming of this episode as a substitute guest. He was a complete newcomer and didn't know any of the guests. Logically, his top priority was to integrate into the group and get along well with everyone. In the past few days, he really looked like a "good guy", low-key and not ostentatious, and took the initiative to give up all advertising and business resources without fighting or competing.

Even if netizens screen one by one, they will not pick Xia Shi.

They never thought that he would vote for Jun to be eliminated.

[He targeted Wen Cheng right away. What was he thinking? 】

[Perhaps he has not paid attention to the awards won by the guests, and doesn't know that Wen Cheng is the winner of three major awards? 】

[If he doesn't even pay attention to these, then his professionalism is too poor. Why did he get into this circle? 】

[Don’t worry about why he entered the entertainment industry. He has reached the end of his career in this circle anyway. 】

The entertainment industry is most concerned with seniority. Xia Shi was a pure newcomer and he offended a big star right after his debut, and his star journey basically ended here.

Ning Heng asked Xia Shi the reason for his vote, and Xia Shi replied calmly with two words: "Ditto."

[Same as above?] Which one of the same ones? 】

[The only person who spoke before him was Xiaonian, of course the same Xiaonian.] 】

[But Xiaonian said: He doesn’t like the people that Luo doesn’t like either. This... can be the same? 】

[I can only say that this guy is extremely courageous. 】

[I even suspect that Xia Shi is an undercover agent of the program team. He went on this show with the mission of confusing the variety show. . 】

The merciless remarks also made Ning Heng doubt Xia Shi's original intention of entering the entertainment industry.

Ning Heng has worked on many shows and met all kinds of artists, but he has never seen anyone like him.

In some ways, he is similar to A'Luo, both are frank and have clear likes and dislikes. But A'Luo is a child, children are emotional and easily tolerated by everyone, and he is already an adult.

Ning Heng initially understood Xia Shi as someone who had just entered the circle, was young and frivolous, and didn't know his place.

After thinking about it, I felt that this was not the case for him.

Because from his actions and conversation, he was not a frivolous person. He was extremely low-key in the first few days after he arrived. Do not participate in any competition for resources, strictly abide by the program procedures, and maintain a close but distant relationship with other guests. The cameraman followed him for several days, but all he took were useless shots. This episode didn't generate any buzz. He just had a handsome face, but his popularity and fans didn't increase at all.

The only thing that was out of the ordinary on the show and shocked everyone was the vote cast for Jun today. The reason was exactly the same as Xiaonian's.

Xiaonian is speaking in childish language, so is he telling the truth or a lie?

After the show ended, Ning Heng discussed the matter with Xu Man, and Xu Man blurted out without hesitation: "The truth!"

Ning Heng looked at him suspiciously: "You know?"

"I know, I watched everyone's live broadcast, but you didn't." Xu Man said confidently.

"so……?"

"This Xia Shi is indeed very low-key, but!" Xu Man emphasized his tone, which meant he was going to get to the point. "He takes good care of Gao Shule!"

Ning Heng tried to understand him: "You mean, Xia Shi likes Gao Shule and wants to pursue her. Gao Shule's position is Gao Luo, so he follows Gao Shule's position and also stands on Gao Luo's side?"

Xu Man clapped his hands, "Yes!"

You are indeed a smart man, you understand it immediately!

Ning Heng felt that his assistant's train of thought was too strange: "Could it be that because he lives with Gao Shule, he can appear more gentlemanly by taking care of her?"

He fell in love with the female guest of his debut variety show and offended big names in the circle for her. How love-sick must one be to do such a thing. Don’t want a career anymore? Don’t want a future anymore? Ning Heng thought Xu Man’s analysis was nonsense.

"I'm not the only one who noticed it. Everyone in the live broadcast room noticed it. They even created a CP super topic. Look."

Xu Man handed the phone over to Ning Heng, and he took a look and saw that it was true. There are already 140,000 people in the super topic, and it is very active. Currently, the super topic ranks fifth on the CP list, and the top four are all popular character CPs in the current dramas.

"What... are you all talking about?" Ning Heng was puzzled. He didn't see any interaction between the two people.

"There's a lot of sugar, and it's not hard candy, it's very natural. Didn't you expect that? I didn't expect that either. These two people quietly attracted a wave of CP fans."

"So you think Xia Shi cast the elimination vote out of genuine feelings for Gao Shule?"

"Yes." Xu Man nodded.

Ning Heng smacked his lips and said, "Why do I feel something is wrong?"

"Director, please stop feeling this way. The results are out now. Are you really not going to let Wen Cheng and Jun participate in the filming next time?"

Xu Man felt that it was impossible for their director to be so frivolous. He had already finalized the guests and the shooting plan, but just because of a voting activity that was thought up at the last minute, he replaced the person, who was even well-known and had a high status in the circle.

He must have alternative rescue measures, Xu Man believed firmly.

Then he heard Ning Heng calmly reply, "Yes."

"Yes?" Xu Man was dumbfounded. "What do you mean by yes? You really don't want Wen Cheng to take the photo?"

"It was the guests who chose to participate in the competition. I didn't force them. Since they have made the choice, they should be brave enough to bear the consequences. Otherwise, we will go back on our word and lose trust with the public, and netizens will not buy it."

Xu Man: "...Are you serious?"

"Seriously."

After receiving Ning Heng's affirmative answer, Xu Man nodded and said, "I would like to take a leave for the next few days."

Ning Heng replied coldly with two words: "No."

Xu Man gritted his teeth and cursed Ning Heng thousands of times in his heart.

He could already foresee that after this episode was over, he would return to the TV station and be scolded by the station leaders.

*

This episode is the same as the previous one. After the filming is completed, the guests can choose to leave on their own that night, or leave with the program crew the next day.

Wencheng had no activities the next day, but still chose to leave that night. Because I really can't stay here any longer.

Before the game, he confidently thought that Gao Luo and Gao Shule would be voted out, but he never expected that it would be him and Jun.

He had agreed to compete, and now that the results were out, it would be embarrassing to stay here any longer.

When he went back to his room to pack his things, Jun asked him cautiously, "Uncle Cheng, are we really not coming next time?"

Wen Cheng didn't want to coax him, "Didn't you hear the result of the game?"

Jun said nothing.

After a while, Wen Cheng packed up his things and looked up, but Jun was gone.

He went out to look for someone and asked the staff. He learned that Jun had just been planning to go down the mountain alone but was stopped by them. He was now in the yard in front of the B&B.

Jun sat in the yard crying, tears all over his face.

Shen Siyan took care of him, wiped his tears, and advised him: "Don't cry, your eyes are swollen, and you will feel uncomfortable tomorrow."

Shen Siyan saw Wen Cheng coming over and told him the information she got from talking to Jun: "Jun seems to want to go down the mountain to find Zhang Tianen and Xiaonian."

Wen Cheng was angry with himself and Jun for his poor prediction of the vote, but when he saw Jun crying so sadly, his anger towards him was mostly gone.

He took out a tissue to wipe Jun's face and asked, "What do you want to do with them?"

Jun sobbed and said, "Xiao Nian and I have never had an argument. Gao Luo must have said something bad about me to him. I need to explain it to him and ask him to change the ticket back."

The people in the live broadcast room saw Jun sitting in the yard crying, and at first they felt sorry for him, thinking that even if the director temporarily changed the rules and let both groups stay, it would not be a big deal. As for children, just educate them and make them realize their mistakes.

But after listening to what he said, I found that he was still as stubborn as ever. He didn't feel that he had done anything wrong at all. Instead, he thought that Gao Luo was saying bad things about him behind his back.

"What about Zhang Tianen?" Wen Cheng asked.

"Zhang Tianen hates Gao Luo so much, why didn't he vote for her? I want to ask him if he got the question wrong."

As long as he changes Xiaonian and Zhang Tianen's tickets, he and Gao Luo will be tied and he won't have to leave.

This was the only solution he could think of.

"The staff won't let me go down the mountain, so can you accompany me down the mountain to find them?" Jun asked Wen Cheng.

He really wanted to change the outcome of the game.

Wen Cheng knew it was useless, so he avoided the topic. "It's getting late. Now that we've packed up, we should go back."

Wen Cheng was about to leave with Jun, when Shen Siyan said, "Can you give me a ride? I'm planning to go back today, too."

Wen Cheng looked at her and said, "Then see you at the foot of the mountain. We can contact by phone."

"Um."

Although Jun still disappointed everyone as usual, after his reminder, the people in the live broadcast room remembered something.

[Why didn’t the fat boy Zhang Tianen vote for A’Luo? What did he choose at that time? 】

[It seems to be a waiver.] 】

He actually abstained? Was it Bian Yuan who taught you this? 】

[I just went to see it, it seems that he was the one who invested in it, and Bian Yuan himself was also very surprised. 】

In fact, like all netizens, Bian Yuan thought that Zhang Tianen hated Gao Luo, so when he got back, he asked him why he didn't vote for Gao Luo to be eliminated.

Zhang Tianen looked considerate and generous: "She is so poor that she even took the hotel's disposable slippers. Her life is so miserable. I think it's better to let her stay and earn some notice fees."

Bian Yuan was speechless for a while and corrected him: "My shoes are uncomfortable, and the disposable slippers are for backup. Uncle Luo runs a tea garden, and the tea trees you see now are all hers."

You actually say that others are poor. If you compare their family backgrounds, it’s not certain who is poor.

"That belongs to her uncle. What does it have to do with her?"

Zhang Tianen firmly believes that anyone who puts disposable slippers in his bag must be a poor and unlucky person.

Since Bian Yuan couldn't convince him, he stopped talking.

*

Shen Siyan brought Ze Yin and Wen Cheng to meet at the foot of the mountain.

No one in the car spoke for the first part of the journey. Later, it was Shen Siyan who broke the silence and asked Wen Cheng about his future plans.

"Will you still participate in the filming later?"

"Is this something I can decide?" Wen Cheng said in an unhappy voice.

Judging from Ning Heng's expression, the matter has been settled.

Shen Siyan: “If you want, I think it’s okay.”

Wen Cheng: "How to do it?"

Shen Siyan glanced at Jun who was sleeping in his arms, “Let Jun go apologize to A’Luo.”

Wen Cheng's brows immediately frowned into a hill.

He had originally agreed to the competition in order to take it easy, but now he had to swallow his anger.

Shen Siyan continued, "I have warned you long ago not to go against Gao Luo and the others. You will get nothing in return. Do you think that if you drive her away, the remaining traffic will be ours? You are wrong. Once she leaves, the traffic will follow her."

Wen Cheng sneered: "Is it that exaggerated?"

"You will know when you go home and compare the data from our live broadcast room." Shen Siyan paused and said, "According to my investigation just now, Xia Shi and Feng Daiyue are from the same agency. So I guess that if you quit the variety show, an artist from your company will take your place."

"Think carefully about it. Should you let Jun apologize so that you can continue to participate in the filming, or let the artists in your company take advantage of you?"

"I also know that it's difficult to get Jun to apologize. If he apologizes, the conflict between him and Luo won't get worse. But you have to think it over carefully. After all, the reason why you withdrew from the filming this time is really a bit..."

Shen Siyan hesitated to speak, and Wen Cheng knew what she was going to say.

Aren’t you just trying to say that he is not up to the standard?

Getting angry with a child showed that he was very narrow-minded. He agreed to the competition with great confidence, thinking that he could eliminate the opponent, but in the end he got himself eliminated.

Wen Cheng certainly understood what Shen Siyan meant. Even if he wanted to withdraw from the filming, he shouldn't do it in a way that would make the public laugh.

What’s the difference between this and when Feng Daiyue withdrew? Oh, yes, they are embarrassing in different ways.

Wen Cheng was conflicted. On the one hand, he was indeed afraid of affecting his popularity with passers-by. On the other hand, he knew that Guan Liu would be very angry and disappointed in him when he returned this time.

*

Different from the gloomy and depressing atmosphere in Wencheng, Gaoluo was as joyous as if it was New Year's Day.

Xie Fan asked someone to buy a lot of ingredients in advance, preparing to cook a big meal for Gao Luo himself. In addition, I bought some new daily necessities and beautiful clothes, and wanted to ask Luo to stay here for two more days.

At dinner time in the evening, Gao Luo called Duanduan and Jinqi together, and everyone had a lively meal together.

After returning to the courtyard, Xiaonian suddenly looked depressed.

Gao Luo asked him what was wrong.

Xiao Nian pouted and questioned her: "You promised to give me a surprise, did you lie to me?"

Gao Luo's mind went blank and she suddenly became speechless.

She really forgot about it.

After a long while, she adjusted her expression, looked at Xiaonian seriously, and said, "Yes, I'm not lying to you. Just wait!"

She ran back to the house, opened the refrigerator, took out the ice cream cake that Xie Fan bought for her that night, and said without blushing, "Today is my birthday, I'll treat you to cake."

Xiao Nian didn't react when he saw the cake, but when he heard her say that today was her birthday, his eyes lit up, and then he looked at Xia Shi in panic: "Brother, today is Luo's birthday, but I didn't buy her a gift, what should I do?"

He was really panicked, as if not preparing a birthday present for someone was a very important matter.

"I don't want any gifts. Spending my birthday with you is the best gift."

When Gao Luo said this, she felt so guilty that she didn't dare to look Xiaonian in the eyes, so she didn't see Xiaonian's face suddenly turn red.

The camera in Gao Luo's room had not been removed yet, and netizens in the live broadcast room saw this scene:

[Our Luo is an expert at flirting with men at a young age. What will she be like when she grows up? 】

[When she grows up, she will be able to charm these guys completely.] 】

[There’s no need to grow up. It seems like Xiaonian is already being charmed by her sweet words. 】

[What are the things that Luo is looking at? Her little mouth is so sweet that it's killing me. 】

[She can be so sweet to death, but also so annoying. Very good. Follow our A-Luo and your breasts will be saved! 】

It was a bit puzzling that Gao Luo's "sweet words" made Xiao Nian completely ignore A Luo's "surprise".

Gao Luo wanted to give him the whole cake, but Xiaonian was reluctant to eat it and wanted to share it with A'luo.

While they were eating cake, the staff removed the camera in the room, and the second live broadcast ended.

Gao Luo stayed at her uncle's house for a few days and learned some things about Xia Shi from Xie Fan.

"Xia Shi said he is related to you. Is that true?"

"Really? He's the grandson of your grandmother's sworn sister, so he calls me uncle." Xie Fan paused here, thought for a few seconds, and said, "So, A'Luo, you and Xia Shi are cousins."

Gao Luo said, "Huh?" "Why haven't I heard that I have this cousin?"

Xie Fan laughed: "How have you heard of it? You haven't even seen your grandmother, so of course you haven't seen her sisters either."

Gao Luo suddenly remembered that she was not Xie Ran now, she was only five and a half years old. Judging from her age, my grandmother had already passed away when I was "born".

Gao Luo could only laugh awkwardly.

After Gao Luo stayed with Xie Fan for a few days, she was taken back by Xie Yanzhi.

After returning home, Gao Luo mentioned Xia Shi's relative to Xie Yanzhi and asked her if she knew about him.

Xie Yanzhi recalled carefully and said, "It seems so." Then she said in surprise, "Your grandmother and her sworn sisters have passed away for many years. I thought this distant relationship would be cut off. I didn't expect that the child still remembers it. It's thoughtful."

Xie Yanzhi had no impression of the name Xia Shi, but she vaguely remembered that her mother did have a good sworn sister, and the other party did have a grandson.

"His name is Xia Shi? I don't remember this name."

"Xia Mushi." Gao Luo explained: "Xia Shi is his stage name."

"At dusk in summer..." Xie Yanzhi repeated it several times in his mouth.

After a while, she slapped her thigh and said, "I remember now, there really is such a person! You have seen him, A'Luo, why don't you remember him?"

Gao Luo half opened her mouth: "I have seen it?"

She had no impression of it at all.

But Xie Yanzhi said very confidently: "You have seen it, when you were very young, at your grandmother's house, there are photos!"

Gao Luo Nana: "Are there any photos?"
