The Shen siblings were the last group to return to the courtyard.

When the two walked into the courtyard, the other four groups of guests had already gathered around the fish grill, grilling fish together in full swing.

Shen Yunxin had been busy all morning, and as soon as she smelled the fragrance, her eyes lit up immediately.

The next second, his stomach made a gurgling sound, which made Shen Yunxin blush.

Wei Ling laughed heartily and greeted them enthusiastically, "What are you still standing there for? Come over quickly, we're having grilled fish for lunch today!"

Shen Yunran smiled sweetly and walked over to Wei Ling. "Wow, it smells so good! Is this the fish you caught, Brother Wei Ling? It's amazing..."

Hearing Shen Yunran's praise, Wei Ling's face suddenly became embarrassed.

At this moment, Yan Chaochao passed by Shen Yunran with a grilled fish in his hand and said leisurely, "I caught it."

"Yes, yes, yes, these were all caught by Chao Chao. Let me tell you, Chao Chao is amazing..." Wei Ling, breaking the awkward silence with Yan Chao Chao's words, took the opportunity to come down the stairs and praise Yan Chao Chao. "She caught all these fish. She used the small bamboo pole, line, and worms provided by the program team. She didn't even have the standard fishing tools..."

Listening to Wei Ling's endless praise of Yan Chaochao, Shen Yunran's smile had already frozen on her face.

But Shen Yunxin didn't notice Shen Yunran's emotions at all and was completely attracted by Wei Ling's description.

Listening to Wei Ling's description, Shen Yunxin was stunned: "Is Sister Chao Chao really that powerful?"

"Of course! I just found out that Yan Chaochao not only does fishing, but also grills fish." As he said that, Wei Ling raised his thumb high.

"Sorry, I'm going to the bathroom." Shen Yunran couldn't stand Wei Ling's flattery of Yan Chaochao anymore. He smiled apologetically and quickly left the yard.

After finally getting away from the other guests, Shen Yunran ran to the bathroom and couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone.

Before the first episode began, Shen Yunran met with his management team to confirm the marketing timeline. According to the marketing schedule, they would begin mass-marketing accounts and keywords at noon today. Once the buzz builds by evening and more reliable data is accumulated, they would then rush to the top ten trending searches.

Shen Yunran clicked on the hot search rankings and was stunned when he saw the hot search rankings.

We had previously planned to buy high-ranking trending searches in the evening, but how come it's now in the top ten trending searches?

Could it be that...

This time the marketing finally went viral?

Thinking of this, a hint of joy flashed in Shen Yunran's eyes, and he couldn't wait to click on the entry.

After reading a few comments, Shen Yunran's face turned ugly.

She has been in this industry for several years, but has always been in a lukewarm state. Even though her family conditions are not bad, her family conditions are not enough for her to walk sideways in the entertainment industry. At most, it can make her live a more comfortable life than other artists of the same level.

Seeing that time passed, not only Shen Yunran's management team, but even she herself couldn't hold back anymore, so she specially fought for the guest spot on the program "Growing Up Together", and even persuaded her parents to take Shen Yunxin to participate in the program, all in order to establish her personality in the program and become famous!

But she didn't expect that Yan Chaochao, as if she didn't get along with her, actually participated in this show!

Ever since the incident between Cheng Aotian and Yan Chaochao, Shen Yunran couldn't stand Yan Chaochao any more. If Cheng Aotian hadn't advised her not to bother with a dog and not to lose face, she would not have let Yan Chaochao go so easily.

I didn't expect to meet Yan Chaochao and her sister in person in "Growing Up Together".

Yan Chaochao and her sister were clearly scheming. In just over a day, they had managed to convince the other guests to favor them. The more likable they appeared on the show, the more anxious Shen Yunran became, and the more she wanted to show her "gentle sister" side in front of the camera.

Only now...

Looking at the series of "brother-supporting demons" in the comment section, as well as fans with their own avatars criticizing the studio's comments below, Shen Yunran's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

This is not the scene she wants to see!

At this moment, Shen Yunran was startled by the sudden sound of footsteps outside the door.

In a panic, her hand shook and the phone slipped out of her hand and fell directly to the ground!

"ah!"

***

After Shen Yunran left, Yan Xixi looked at her back with a thoughtful look.

The next second, Yan Xixi casually mentioned, "Shen Yunran seems to be going to the bathroom a little too often. Is he feeling unwell?"

Hearing this question, Wei Xi was stunned. "Now that you put it that way, it seems to be true."

Hearing their conversation, Shen Yunxin sneered softly beside them.

"She didn't do any work today, so why would she feel uncomfortable?" As Shen Yunxin spoke, he became more cautious when rubbing oil on the grilled fish.

As a younger brother who grew up with Shen Yunran, Shen Yunxin knows better than anyone else what kind of temper and attitude his sister has at home.

Before recording the show, he was also forced to listen to several variety show character discussion sessions.

When Shen Yunxin finally found out that Shen Yunran wanted to create the persona of a "gentle sister" on the show, she couldn't help but subconsciously complained, "Give up, it's impossible."

Although Shen Yunxin had prepared himself mentally before participating in the program, the difficulties he encountered actually exceeded his imagination.

From yesterday to today, Shen Yunran only tried almost all the tasks once, or did not try at all. In the end, most of the tasks were completed by Shen Yunxin, while Shen Yunran concentrated on playing the role of a "gentle sister" by the side, handing him water and cheering him on.

But in the process of completing the task, Shen Yunxin wanted to explode countless times and shouted to Shen Yunran, "Instead of shouting slogans, why not come down and help?" In the end, considering that this was in front of the camera and her sister's image as an artist was very important, Shen Yunxin held back.

Once, when they were on a mission, they happened to meet Wei Ling and Wei Xi, a brother and sister. When Shen Yunxin saw the two of them completing the mission together, he felt an indescribable envy in his heart.

Shen Yunxin was grilling fish and looked up at the Wei brothers and sisters who were playing and fighting, with a hint of longing in his eyes.

"Yunxin, the fish is almost burnt, turn it over." Yan Chaochao, who was next to Shen Yunxin, reminded.

As Shen Yunxin frantically flipped the fish, Yan Chaochao tilted her head to look at him and casually reminded him, "If you can't solve some problems on your own, you can talk to someone you trust. You're still young, and there are some things you don't need to force yourself to handle alone."

Compared with ordinary audiences across the screen, the guests who record the variety show with them are the ones who are most sensitive to the way guests from other groups get along with each other.

After the apocalypse, Yan Chaochao would subconsciously observe everyone she met. The awkwardness between Shen Yunran and Shen Yunxin naturally caught her eye.

Hearing Yan Chaochao's words, Shen Yunxin lowered his head in panic.

If you truly care about me like this...

He had never heard it from his sister.

"It's okay." Shen Yunxin pretended to be relaxed and said, "I'm almost an adult, a little man."

Hearing Shen Yunxin's nasal response, Yan Chaochao frowned slightly.

"You don't have to force yourself to be strong."

But there are some things that she is not involved in after all.

After saying this, Yan Chaochao didn't continue.

Even when Yan Chaochao and Shen Yunxin were interacting, the live broadcast room was filled with insults against Shen Yunxin.

[Hehe, why are you pretending to be well-behaved in front of the other guests? Don't you already enjoy the family's favoritism?]

[I hate this kind of male green tea who acts cute in front of the screen the most (rolling eyes)]

"I'm a little worried about Yun Ran. Ever since the conflict with her brother, Yun Ran has been in a bad mood, and now she's hiding away. Is she crying alone somewhere?"

「What should I do? Now that I hear that, I’m a little worried.」

At the live broadcast site, Shen Yunxin also noticed the unusual time Shen Yunran left.

While turning the fish over, he raised his eyes and looked into the distance almost every few seconds, but he never saw the figure appear.

"Sorry, I need to go to the bathroom too." Shen Yunxin still couldn't let go of her worry about Shen Yunran, and said a little embarrassedly, "But these fish..."

"It's okay, go ahead, I'll help you bake."

Yan Chaochao said this and naturally took over the barbecue table.

Shen Yunxin finally breathed a sigh of relief and gave Yan Chaochao a grateful smile: "Thank you, Sister Chaochao."

Looking at Shen Yunxin's hurriedly leaving back, Yan Xixi's eyes showed a hint of interest.

***

Shen Yunxin hurried to the bathroom. Before she even reached the door, she heard her sister's sudden exclamation from inside.

"ah!"

Hearing this, Shen Yunxin subconsciously quickened her pace, and without caring about the situation, she rushed to the bathroom door: "Sister, what's wrong?"

After a while, Shen Yunran's voice, which had changed its tone, came from the bathroom: "Yun Xin?"

"It's me." Shen Yunxin knocked on the door vigorously, her face showing an anxious look. "Sister, are you okay?"

"No...it's okay."

Shen Yunran laughed dryly, but his heart was bleeding.

Her cell phone ahhhhh!

When Shen Yunran and Shen Yunxin came back, the other guests had already grilled the fish and were ready to eat.

As soon as Shen Yunran sat down, Yan Xixi walked up to her and placed a piece of grilled fish on the plate in front of her: "Here, whatever you need will be replenished."

Hearing these words that were obviously not well-intentioned, Shen Yunran still remembered that this was in front of the camera, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart and forced a smile: "Thank you..."

Just the moment he lowered his head, Shen Yunran's pupils immediately dilated and his expression became ugly.

On the plate in front of her, the piece of fish that Yan Xixi put down was cut into square shapes.

But that's not the point.

The point is, the size and shape of this piece of fish are almost exactly the same as the cell phone she just dropped!

Cold sweat instantly broke out on Shen Yunran's back, her fingers trembled subconsciously, and she couldn't even hold the chopsticks in her hand. She raised her head in horror and suddenly met the gaze of Yan Xixi who was not far away.

The moment their eyes met, Shen Yunran clearly saw Yan Xixi smiling at him and making a mouth shape -

Old, honest and simple.
