Xu Miaotong acted like a social butterfly, warmly greeting each guest.
"Hello, Teacher Guo and Teacher Ye! Hello, Teacher Feng and Sister Wu! Hello, Ran Jun and Teacher Ge!"
Xu Miaotong turned to the last group—Qin Yuanyao and Chi Baiyi.
The viewers in the live stream were getting excited, frantically sending comments and eagerly awaiting how Xu Miaotong and Qin Yuanyao would react.
Xu Miaotong continued frankly, "President Chi, Yuan Yao, hello."
She still had a warm smile on her face, as if there had never been any conflict between her and Qin Yuanyao.
Chi Baiyi remained expressionless and unresponsive, only glancing coldly at Xu Miaotong.
Qin Yuanyao gave a perfunctory lip twitch as a greeting.
Thanks to Chi Nao's help, everyone now knows how Xu Miaotong treats her in private, so she no longer needs to cooperate with Xu Miaotong's acting on the show.
Facing Qin Yuanyao and Chi Baiyi's similarly indifferent faces, Xu Miaotong showed no embarrassment whatsoever.
She looked away, fanned herself with her hand, and sighed at the scorching sun, "It's really hot today."
—This marked the end of her first encounter with Qin Yuanyao in this episode.
This is a bit different from what I imagined; it's a little too calm.
[What kind of attitude is Qin Yuanyao?! Our Sister Tong greeted her so warmly, and this is her reaction?]
[I'm so annoyed by these internet celebrity fans. All they do is keep calling her "Sister Tong." What happened to Qin Yuanyao's attitude? Xu Miaotong said those almost bullying things to her, and Qin Yuanyao didn't even slap her in front of her—that's already showing Qin Yuanyao's good manners. What more do you bunch of fans want from Qin Yuanyao?]
[Previously, some of Xu Miaotong's fans praised her personal charm in the comments, which I really wanted to criticize. What charismatic person would say something like "the other person bought junk" or "tell them to leave the entertainment industry"? If your Sister Tong truly has personal charm, she should apologize to Qin Yuanyao in front of everyone right now!!]
[Xu Miaotong's fans probably misunderstood my comment that "it's a bit too calm." My subtext wasn't that I was defending Xu Miaotong; it was that Qin Yuanyao hadn't attacked Xu Miaotong.]
Unlike some internet celebrities who are self-centered and only care about being in the spotlight, Yao Yao knows she's participating in a show and should prioritize the program, putting personal grudges aside for the time being.
Qin Yuanyao's fans and casual viewers alike bombarded Xu Miaotong's fans in the live chat, finally silencing them and keeping them quiet for the time being.
The live chat quieted down, and the guests at the scene were also very quiet.
They were all too hot to talk, but Director Jiang hadn't shown up yet.
Feng Wenhe asked the cameraman impatiently, "We're all here, why hasn't Director Jiang arrived yet? How much longer are we going to have to wait?"
The cameraman shook his head. "We don't know either. Director Jiang should be here soon."
Feng Wenhe was anxious, but he couldn't bring himself to say anything more hurtful.
Although Xu Miaotong was wearing a sun hat, sweat kept streaming down her face from under the brim, making her feel irritable from the heat.
The family of three wore cheap sneakers from a street vendor that weren't breathable at all. It felt like their feet were wrapped in plastic wrap, making them feel stuffy and uncomfortable.
Even worse, she could faintly smell a sweaty odor.
Xu Miaotong initially thought the smell was coming from Gao Li, who was standing next to her. Just as she was looking at Gao Li with some disgust, Gao Li noticed her gaze and said in a low voice, annoyed, "You have it too. I guess the material of this clothing is not good. It will have a very obvious odor when you sweat."
Xu Miaotong was slightly taken aback, and lowered her head to smell herself.
Sure enough, she also had a body odor.
Xu Miaotong was extremely angry.
Street vendor clothes are definitely not for human wear!!
Although she was poor when she was young, since becoming a beauty blogger and earning more and more money, she hasn't bought any non-branded clothes for several years. She no longer remembers that some street vendor clothes are made of poor-quality fabric and easily become smelly when sweating.
The sun was shining overhead; her t-shirt wasn't breathable and had a strong smell of sweat; and her sneakers were stuffy and hot. All of this was enough to annoy Xu Miaotong.
Little did she know, there was something even more infuriating.
Feng Xuan, who was standing next to them, suddenly covered his nose and took several steps back in the opposite direction.
As he returned the items, he said, "You guys smell terrible!"
Feng Wenhe had actually smelled it a long time ago, and found the smell increasingly nauseating. But he was afraid that if he showed it too obviously, the viewers in the live stream would misinterpret it, so he had no choice but to endure it.
Now that Feng Xuan had spoken out of turn, Feng Wenhe followed suit and retreated to stand with him. Wu Ningwei followed them.
"Are your clothes not absorbent enough or breathable enough, which is why they smell strange?" Feng Wenhe said.
Xu Miaotong and Gao Li's expressions instantly turned very awkward. Gao Li's awkwardness was tinged with a hint of anger.
"Maybe...maybe..." Xu Miaotong chuckled dryly. "We never had any strange smells when we wore them before. Maybe it's because we stood in the sun for too long today and sweated a lot that they smelled strange."
Feng Xuan wrinkled his nose and said, "We stood in the sun for much longer, so why don't we smell strange?"
Gao Li chuckled and said, "I bought this t-shirt at a street stall, so the quality might not be up to par, haha."
"Is it made of synthetic fibers? Clothes made of synthetic fibers tend to develop an odor because they don't absorb sweat," Wu Ningwei said gently.
Neither Gao Li nor Xu Miaotong knew what material the clothes were made of.
However, Gao Li has his own fashion brand, so he has some knowledge of clothing materials.
He then followed up by saying, "Yes, they're made of synthetic fibers. I should have bought pure cotton ones. When I bought these three T-shirts, I only liked that they were matching family outfits, and I didn't pay attention to the material at all. What a mistake."
Xu Miaotong laughed awkwardly. She was embarrassed, thirsty, hot, and annoyed, and had no mood to say another word.
Feng Wenhe and his group stood at a distance from Xu Miaotong and her group, not getting even half a centimeter closer.
[Hahaha, this is so awkward. Do Xu Miaotong and the others really smell that bad?]
When I was little, my family was poor, and my mom bought me the cheapest clothes from street vendors. Those clothes really did have a strange, sweaty smell when they got wet, the kind that even I found repulsive. So when I wore those clothes as a child, I was especially afraid of people getting close to me and talking to me, because I was afraid they would smell my weird odor QAQ.
[Kiss the person upstairs, you're forced into this situation by your family's financial circumstances. But I don't understand Xu Miaotong and her family. Xu Miaotong said that the three of them have worn this t-shirt several times. Didn't they notice this problem before?]
