Chapter 15 Variety Show 3 I feel sleepy, restless in the morning, and still want to sleep...
Several guests at the scene seemed to be getting to know each other in a friendly manner, but the barrage of comments was already boiling.
[What? There's melon? Let me have a bite.]
[Are you talking about He and Song? No way, the production team wouldn't let out such an obvious flaw. Wouldn't that mean they could guess the invitation relationship right after the show started? That would be too boring.]
Is it possible that the previous trending search was just a smokescreen released by the production team to warm up the guests? I don't believe that these days, you can just get on the trending search without paying.
[What's there to clean up? He, the great actor, has been promoting his clean image all day. Perhaps he was exposed for having a secret meeting with his young boyfriend, so he urgently went on a variety show to clean up his act?]
[Hats, go away! You haven't even deleted all the content from a certain top-tier celebrity surnamed Mo on your homepage. Worry about your boss first. The director has already changed the TV show we were supposed to be starring in. I'm ashamed for you.]
[What are you arguing about? I just know that the people featured on this season of "Heartbeat Love" are all incredibly good-looking. How come even amateurs are this good-looking these days? Guest #6's leg ring is a stroke of genius. I can't take my eyes off it! How dare you guys still be in the mood to argue?]
The sofas were originally arranged in a circle, which made it convenient for the guests to introduce themselves to each other.
Thanks to his ex-lover, Song Mingjiao has some understanding of people in the entertainment industry, especially the three people present now, who are all familiar faces. He is very satisfied with this. After all, remembering too many names will consume his energy, which is a very precious thing.
"He Wang, I barely won a few awards. Everyone should know about it, so I won't say more."
He Wang wasn't here to expand his network, so he simply introduced himself. Song Mingjiao gave him a strange look while he was speaking:
Before, every time I introduced myself to him, my words were as long as reciting a recipe. Why did I become less talkative when it came to this kind of public occasion?
Although He Wang is not yet thirty years old, he is indeed the oldest among the three star groups. After he set the tone, the young star Shang Xiaoxia behind him also gave a brief introduction honestly.
"Shang Xiaoxia, the TV series "Sword Soul" starring me is currently on the air. You can watch my variety shows during the day and my TV series at night to get to know a different side of me."
Mo Qinan, who was originally prepared to shine, had to swallow his prepared lines. He disliked He Wang from the beginning, and he still hadn't forgotten the voice that came from Song Mingjiao's phone that day.
There were only a few people in the club that day, and there were also few people at the variety show. Is it really such a coincidence that He Wang and Song Mingjiao met each other twice?
Song Mingjiao is his property, and he must find out the "adulterer" who dared to touch his things!
There were undercurrents among the celebrity group, but the amateur group seemed much more harmonious.
"My name is Gu Liang. My job isn't important. In my free time, I write music and rap on the streets. If you're interested, I can teach you."
The one who was speaking was the flirtatious man. He had inadvertently moved and sat on the sofa closest to Song Mingjiao.
"Aren't rappers considered part of the entertainment industry?"
Song Mingjiao asked curiously. He had not been exposed to this kind of street art and thought that everyone who could sing should be the same.
"Ah, I hope the entertainment industry will recognize it. If you don't believe me, just look at the comments. They are definitely saying it doesn't count."
From He Wang's perspective, he could see that Song Mingjiao, who had been sitting very close to him, had inadvertently moved further away, even leaning slightly to the side, chatting happily with the rapper.
In a place where the camera couldn't capture him, He Wang quietly clenched his fists.
——They are all scheming men!
Song Mingjiao nodded, half understanding, propping up his chin and thinking for a moment. Then, an idea struck him, and he said, "In that case, I've heard variety shows often have segments similar to bonfire parties. Wouldn't that be exactly what you'd be good at?"
"Well, that's not wrong." Gu Liang touched his head awkwardly. In fact, he mentioned his identity as an underground rapper at the beginning just because he wanted to use this new profession to attract the attention of Song Mingjiao, who looked like a naive young master.
"What about you? What about you? Let me guess, your temperament is very similar to someone I've met!"
Song Mingjiao turned around and looked at the man with glasses opposite him, and sighed at his outfit and temperament. He was so much like Zhang Xuanzhan!
If Song Mingjiao's eyes had not been still clear and innocent, without any other meaning, this sentence would really make people think it was a prelude to a chat.
The man with glasses coughed and said, "My name is Xu Xi. I'm a second-year doctoral student in biomedicine. I came to the show because I've hit a bottleneck in my research and I'm looking for a breakthrough."
[What an official introduction! It's a shame. We're just a cliché romance show. When will we be able to take on such a high-end mission?]
He is indeed a scientific researcher.
Song Mingjiao looked at Xu Xi thoughtfully, not knowing what his specific research direction was. Should he consider work during his leisure time? Why not ask his secretary to find out?
Oh, he is such a good boss!
After everyone has been introduced, it is finally the turn of guest No. 6, Song Mingjiao.
"Actually, I own a company. It's just a small one. I usually just go to work when I have nothing to do. Nothing special."
[Sherlock Holmes, the information is all out! I need to see the company name in three seconds! Let me go to work! I can work overtime every day with a beautiful CEO like this!]
"Wow, you're the big boss, Mingjiao, don't be so modest. Look at the luggage and assistants you brought with you when you came in. I was shocked at the time."
Xiaohua was diligently supporting the event, but He Wang, who had remained silent throughout the entire ice-breaking session, suddenly spoke up:
"There are so many entrepreneurs who fail these days. It's very rare to find someone like Mingjiao who can succeed at such a young age."
[Brother, your praise is so awkward, I can’t bear to watch it anymore.]
[They even called Mingjiao! I'm making this clear, it was definitely He who invited Song Lai to participate in the variety show. There's absolutely nothing innocent about them!]
[I'm putting this out there. The production team can't be so blunt. What if it was the rapper's younger brother who invited him? Who says he's not from the entertainment industry?]
Song Mingjiao was also startled. The man's voice was low, and they were sitting very close to each other on the sofa. He could even feel the slight vibration.
"Are you praising me?" Song Mingjiao turned around and looked back at He Wang, instantly forgetting the rapper just now, and asked with a smile.
"Of course."
"Thank you, I think so too."
Song Mingjiao always liked to hear compliments and responded happily, with a hint of reserved joy in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
Good vision!

After everyone got a little familiar with it, the variety show PD announced the next segment.
——The clichéd cooking segment that is unavoidable in every dating variety show.
"Director, didn't you say our format this season is unique? Can we remove the cooking? Look, everyone in the comments is absolutely vomiting."
[No, no, I love watching!]
"Reject it! This is a classic segment voted for by Chaobo." The director held a loud speaker and coldly rejected the guest's request.
"Draw lots and divide into groups of two. Everyone will participate in the entire process of buying groceries, cutting vegetables, and cooking. Everyday love requires daily necessities, so please take it seriously. Each group's dishes will be voted on. The group with the most votes will have the right to choose the room first tonight."
Under the director's coercion and inducement, everyone drew their lots.
Coincidentally, Song Mingjiao was drawn into the same group as He Wang. If he hadn't been clear about the process, he would have almost thought that there was a backdoor.
"But I really can't cook." Song Mingjiao murmured in distress, rubbing the skewer in his hand.
At home, he has five-star chefs who are good at different cuisines and cook different dishes for him every day. Even when he eats, he has caring bodyguards who feed him hand-to-mouth.
"Just follow me, I'll do it." When everyone was busy packing up to go out shopping, He Wang quietly came to Song Mingjiao and spoke in Song Mingjiao's ear, avoiding the microphone.
[What are you whispering about!]
[He, please move aside! You're blocking my wife's camera! I want to see her frown, it's so cute. So what if the CEO can't cook? Blame it on the director!]
Song Mingjiao now realized that He Wang was becoming more and more adept at pretending to be familiar with him, but he still pretended not to know and nodded in agreement, saying, "Okay, Teacher He, it's all up to you."
Then, Song Mingjiao was satisfied with the effect he wanted. He Wang's mouth was curled up, but he tried hard to suppress it, pretending to be at ease and said, "Small problem."
After tricking the person away, Song Mingjiao pretended the camera didn't exist, ran to the director's team, and conspired face to face, asking: "Director, if I really can't cook, can I ask for help?"
He bent over, half-crouched, and raised one hand to cover his mouth, as if doing so would prevent him from being captured by the camera, and lowered his voice in front of the microphone and camera.
"We will avoid the camera and will definitely not take up any of the on-camera resources!"
The director said very humanely: "If you can find someone at this point, it's not impossible. Anyway, the production staff will not be involved."
This is also thanks to the variety show arrangement of not having an all-star lineup, and randomly inviting passers-by to participate, which also reflects the real-life feeling of the variety show.
"Great!" Song Mingjiao found a way out for himself without telling He Wang, and even tried to high-five the director, but finally gave up because of the noise.
He won't rely on He Wang alone!
After He Wang sorted out the list and packed his things, he waited for people at the door. Then Song Mingjiao, with his hands behind his back and humming a song, jumped up and down to meet them as if he had accomplished something big.

Fortunately, the program team has not restricted the budget, and the two finally chose to buy groceries in the supermarket. The main consideration was that the environment of the shopping mall supermarket was more suitable for Song Mingjiao to go shopping.
Because this was an outdoor shoot, in order not to disturb the normal operation of the supermarket, the program crew only sent one cameraman to follow Song Mingjiao and He Wang, and the camera position was also fixed.
[Given the familiar vibe between the two of them, I wonder who's still trying to be polite!]
But in fact, during this period, Song Mingjiao and He Wang mainly communicated online and never met offline.
He Wang would send him "good morning" and "good night" messages every day without fail, even a timer was not as accurate as him.
Song Mingjiao sometimes got used to seeing the message. When he saw it in the morning when he was half asleep, he would send a selfie without thinking.
In the photo, he was snuggling in the quilt obediently, holding his phone in a daze with his face turned to the side. Half of his face was pressed on the pillow, and you could even see the red marks on his soft flesh. His pajamas were messy, revealing the fair skin of his chest, but the quilt covered the rest of his face tightly.
——I won’t show it to you!
[MOON: photo.jpg. Feeling sleepy, restless this morning, and still wanting to sleep.]
Just like now, Song Mingjiao had no interest in buying groceries and cooking. He and He Wang walked around the supermarket for a few rounds. The man next to him was carefully selecting crabs, and he yawned idly.
"Mingjiao, are you sleepy?"
Song Mingjiao did not respond, but instead rested his head on He Wang's shoulder. The man had just picked up a crab when his hand slipped and water splashed, and the crab escaped alive.
But Song Mingjiao didn't notice at all. He kept this posture, rubbed the man's shoulder a few times, and said, "I'm tired. How long will it take?"
The light breath fell on his neck, and He Wang had to exert a lot of effort not to lose his composure in front of the camera.
"Would you like to rest on the chair next to you for a while? I'll call you when I'm done picking, and then we can go back."
Song Mingjiao nodded sleepily and pointed to the place to He Wang.
But after He Wang finished picking out the ingredients he wanted, he went to the place where Song Mingjiao had just sat, but there was no one there.
