Chapter 50 Rose in the Palm

The last, somewhat controversial segment was eventually deleted.

When this episode was broadcast, He Ciyuan strangely did not receive many negative reviews. Instead, he and Sheng Zhao became popular.

A marketing account compiled a collection of his frustrated and dazed expressions on the show, and it unexpectedly became a hit.

The camera shows a man with messy semi-long hair. His mature and handsome face is full of confusion and disorder. He has a head of alopecia and confused eyes. He is made into an emoticon with a question mark, which is particularly funny.

"Hahahahaha, He Ciyuan is so cute, look at his devastated eyes."

"I always thought this guy was a mean guy because he was famous for his sex appeal, but I didn't expect him to be so silly. Hahahahahaha, I'm a fan."

"This is a show accident, what's with all the cuteness in the comments section? The stars were left outside in the sun for ages."

"He's so handsome in his pajamas, messy but sexy, answering the door. He has a lazy, sexy vibe."

"A butcher, what's so cute about that? You netizens are crazy. I wouldn't want a man like that even if he were given to me."

…

——And Sheng Zhao who talks about tea.

"Hahahahaha, I didn't expect Mr. Sheng to be so approachable. But Duan Ming is so miserable. He was used as a tool twice."

"I feel like Duan Ming is even more clueless than He Ciyuan, hahahahaha."

"As expected of a CEO, this aura is undeniable."

'Ahhhh President Sheng is thoughtful and beautiful. My heart is moved. When will President Sheng enter the entertainment industry? Who understands her calm face and said she ate pasta to help He Ciyuan out of trouble. So domineering! Who is obsessed with Sheng Zhao! Who is obsessed with President Sheng! Who is obsessed with President Sheng!'

"Could Mr. Sheng be on camera more often? She's such a beautiful lady. Could the camera please focus on Mr. Sheng more?"

"I'm so surprised. Mr. Sheng and He Ciyuan are a weird match."

"Why are you kowtowin'? Are you sick? Can't you see she's already engaged?"

"What's upstairs so anxious about? Oh, it turns out you're a fan of Chen Shuoxing. Your main character was almost beaten to death by the third party."

"I was drawn to the show by the rumors surrounding Mr. Sheng and Xing. The publicity was so intense, but the two of them didn't interact at all on the show. What's going on?"

"Friends are friends! Xingxing's studio said they went to the movies together because they are friends. The kissing photo was misplaced. Can you please stop spreading rumors?"

"I'm just kidding you Star fans. If you understand, you'll understand. Otherwise, how could a man like him have such great resources in recent years? I don't believe he has no connection with Mr. Sheng."

"Our Xingxing family is rich, handsome, and wealthy. What's wrong with having resources? Can you please stop assuming a man's success is due to a woman? Get lost."

…

Later on, they started arguing. It seems that the scandal has had a great impact on Chen Shuoxing's reputation, and they are still arguing for so long.

For Li Ji, although the online response was not as cheerful as that of Sheng Zhao and He Ciyuan, many people found that Li Ji's cooking skills were good, and he also gained a wave of fans.

'The cool guy swung the spatula coolly, hahahahahaha.'

"It smells so good."

"A woman who marries our Xiao Li will be blessed."

"If I could taste Xiao Li's cooking, I would be so happy that I would faint."

…

This variety show has attracted a lot of attention online. One reason is the promotion of Sheng Entertainment, and the other is the scandal between Chen Shuoxing and President Sheng. The main people involved have gathered together, and the rest is the fan effect.

The comments were densely packed. Sheng Zhao glanced at them twice and then stopped reading. Instead, he paused, rubbed his chin slightly, and looked at Li Ji next to him.

Li Ji was slightly confused and looked straight at Sheng Zhao.

“……?”

Sheng Zhao pondered, looked at Li Ji on the variety show, then looked at Li Ji in front of him, gestured with his hands, and finally spoke when Li Ji's eyes became increasingly confused.

"It turns out what they say online is true. The camera really does make people's faces look bigger. They look much better in real life than on variety shows."

Li Ji paused, pursed his lips slightly, and glanced away as if to cover up, "You just realized it?"

Sheng Zhao suddenly moved closer and looked at his facial features carefully.

To be honest, Li Ji's facial features are superior to most people in the entertainment industry.

His facial features seemed to be carefully carved by the Creator, his eyebrows and eyes were naturally cold, his nose bridge and nose tip were tall and cold white, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and his outline was handsome and three-dimensional. Just raising his eyes and moving his gaze was breathtaking.

The more Sheng Zhao looked at Li Ji's face, the more he felt that he had made the right choice.

He is a natural-born protagonist in the entertainment industry.

To be honest, most of the hardships Li Ji suffered in the first half of his life were due to this face that was like a disaster, which aroused the jealousy of men and the desire of women.

His poor family background and messy upbringing did not turn him into a dissolute and failed man. Instead, he struggled and grew slowly, and finally became a wild rose growing in the wilderness, covered with thorns and prickly.

What Sheng Zhao did was to pick him up from the soil, as if to prevent it from finding him, and then pull out the thorns on his body one by one.

Until obedient and gentle.

At least he's being very well behaved now.

Li Ji leaned slightly closer, looked directly into her eyes, and let her look at his facial features.

There was even a faint smile at the corners of his lips, and his usually deep eyes were slightly curved, as if with a playful teasing look.

The man seemed to be using his charm to seduce a woman.

He longed for her to enter the web he had woven, and then be torn apart and eaten.

But facing Sheng Zhao, he would be the only one to be torn apart.

Sheng Zhao would not retreat or be tempted by his teasing and condescending provocation. He just moved closer and used his fingertips to push the side of his face, looking back and forth, and his fingertips lightly caressed the corners of his lips and the tips of his ears.

The ending tone was slightly prolonged, "The great star Li really has a perfect face——"

Li Ji groaned softly because of her fingertips caressing the tips of his ears and the corners of his lips. His throat trembled slightly. He continued to look up at her, with seductive teasing in his deep eyes.

But Sheng Zhao was like a child who had found an interesting toy, and just stroked his facial features with his fingertips and looked at his facial features.

Perhaps seeing that she was unmoved, Li Ji lowered his eyes slightly, then opened his mouth and bit Sheng Zhao's finger that was stroking his lips.

The sharp canine teeth grind gently.

Then he exerted a little force as if giving a warning.

He even licked it slightly with the tip of his tongue.

Sheng Zhao tilted his head slightly, watching his movements with a smile, "What is the great star Li doing?"

"…to seduce you."

Li Ji sneered slightly.

"I give up." His voice was hoarse, and his protruding Adam's apple trembled slightly. He exhaled a breath that was trembling and seductive. "...Fuck me."

Sheng Zhao's eyes then darkened, he stopped pulling and kissed her lightly.

——That’s right, he was the only one who was torn apart and eaten.

He was the one who seduced, he was the one who invited, he was the one who took the initiative, and he was also the one who was despicable.

What did she do? Was she invited? Was she seduced? Was she seduced…?

wrong.

She is the initiator.

Li Ji seemed to be being manipulated by Sheng Zhao, falling step by step into the trap of her eyes, willingly and servilely being manipulated into being a puppet in her palm.

It turned into a rose that is no longer sharp.

——————

The second episode is about visiting Xie Huaining's home.

He was obviously very nervous, and beneath his handsome eyes was a look of innocence and uneasiness like a fawn.

But apparently women all buy into this, so the director and photographer went out of their way to comfort him and told him not to be too nervous.

Xie Huaining took a deep breath, opened his eyes and officially started recording.

The boy has a tall and straight figure, his dyed blond hair is dazzling and eye-catching, and with a smile on his face he blends into the dim light. His back is straight, as clear as the bright moon in the mountains, full of youthfulness.

His house is just an ordinary apartment, completely different from other celebrities' mansions.

As they entered, they listened to his hoarse voice as he said, "I live here alone. My mom and dad have passed away, and I usually cook by myself."

"But I only know how to make some Chinese side dishes, and my cooking skills are not very good."

He lowered his eyes slightly embarrassedly.

When they heard him say his mom and dad had passed away, the crowd fell into an odd silence. Duan Ming was the first to change the subject and looked around. "Huaining, your house is so beautiful. As expected of a boy's home, it's clean and tidy."

He Ciyuan next to him felt guilty for a moment.

"No, no."

Xie Huaining felt a little embarrassed, pursed his lips slightly, and asked everyone to sit on the sofa, pouring different drinks for everyone.

"I've asked others. Sister Duan and Brother Li like to drink tea, so I've prepared some for you. Sister Sheng and Brother Chen like to drink sweet things, so I've prepared some sweet milk for you. Brother He likes to drink Coke..."

He said as he handed it to everyone.

"Huaining, you are so thoughtful."

He Ciyuan sighed, and Duan Ming nodded repeatedly.

He Ciyuan probably still knew his character as a vicious male supporting actor. He suddenly paused, and after holding it in for a long time, he uttered a sarcastic remark, "You're also a good flatterer."

Chen Shuoxing said thank you in a low and calm voice.

Sheng Zhao really liked drinking sweet milk. She paused and took the milk. When Sheng Zhao took the sweet milk, Xie Huaining's slender fingers seemed to rub Sheng Zhao slightly for a moment.

The electric-like touch spread rapidly across the palm of his hand, leaving Sheng Zhao slightly stunned.

Sheng Zhao paused, looked up and saw that he still had that clear expression. Thinking it was just an illusion, he lowered his head and pursed his lips.

Li Ji looked at the tea in front of him with a calm expression, stretched out his slender hand to take it, then lowered his head and took a sip - it was green tea.

The bitter taste spreads between the lips and teeth.

Li Ji doesn't like drinking tea. He prefers boiled water to tea because tea is as bitter as his miserable first half of life.

Who told Xie Huaining that he likes drinking tea?

Probably because she knew his inner qualities and also knew that this trainee was not as innocent as he appeared.

Li Ji sneered slightly and looked straight at Xie Huaining.

Then he didn't touch the tea.

Xie Huaining was still smiling, humble and cute, which made He Ciyuan and Duan Ming praise him continuously.

Won the favor of most people present.

Even Sheng Zhao thanked him for the sweet milk he sent.

Perhaps only Li Ji could see his dim eyes and dark, piercing gaze under the light in the place where the camera couldn't reach.
