Chapter 11 [Changed] Why did you all choose...?
[Su Yunruo was so clever when she was changing clothes with the photographer, why is she acting so clumsy now?]
Is it irony? Is it irony?
Who exactly is it that can't take a joke and is getting angry and complaining?
[I don't quite understand. It had nothing to do with them, so why are they acting all aggrieved, going along with Zhou Kantian to subtly criticize Su Yunruo for being petty?]
[The pig fans have started controlling the comments, it's so annoying.]
[Why are you trying to control the comments for such a trivial matter? This happened between Su Yunruo and Zheng Chengcheng, what does it have to do with anyone else? Besides, it's really just Su Yunruo asking everyone to introduce themselves one by one, which is the procedure for every variety show. These three are completely in the wrong and are obviously deliberately nitpicking.]
[Aren't those who keep contradicting me the ones controlling the comments? See, your idol is ganging up on a girl on a variety show.]
[Zhou Kantian's fans are truly ungrateful. They've been relentlessly attacking Su Yunruo for so many years, yet their idol's representative work is still the drama in which Su Yunruo was the lead actress.]
[Friendly reminder: he's only playing the third male lead in this movie.]
Su Yunruo made this variety show interesting; I blindly supported her throughout the filming.
The live stream chat was in an uproar, but there was no real conflict on the ground—at least not in Su Yunruo's eyes.
Amidst everyone's complicated gazes, she turned to the director and kindly reminded him, "Director, now that everyone's here, can we officially begin the recording process?"
"Ha ha ha ha"
The director, who was called upon, let out a string of laughs in an attempt to salvage this deadlock that even a god couldn't break.
"Today's recording is now over..." Embarrassed to the point of picking up the wrong cards, he quickly flipped to find the first one, coughed twice, and read it again, "Thank you for watching 'Let's Travel Together,' exclusively sponsored by Silver Crown Group. Every Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., you can participate in the program voting by opening the Orange Live app and cheer for your favorite guests."
Upon being informed that the audience's emotions had finally stabilized, the director breathed a sigh of relief and pointed to the large television screen behind him: "As you all know, a good trip is inseparable from a good night, and a good night depends on where you stay. For this trip, the production team has specially prepared two resting places for everyone. Please look at the big screen."
The guests looked toward the television set opposite the coffee table, while the live broadcast room was occupied by a video.
The camera focuses on the bustling city center of S, where the Yangtze River flows through, with high-rise buildings lining the river and lights flashing across the water.
A century-old hotel with a Republican-era style is located in a high-rise building.
After a special effect that seemed to transport viewers through time, the camera climbs a winding mahogany staircase, passing a romantic and elegant violin ensemble, tapping out a rhythm on the bar's wine glasses to the beat of the drums.
Push open the antique dark green door, and a quaint and luxurious suite from the Republican era unfolds before you. In this prime location, the spacious living room also features a 50-square-meter balcony, which serves multiple purposes: it offers panoramic views of the city and can also be used to set up a barbecue grill for a lavish party.
[Is this the big hotel next to Building A?]
[My goodness, I heard these suites are specially prepared for big shots who need to live in S City for extended periods. Su Zhongyuan lived there back in the day.]
[Not only Mr. Su Zhongyuan, but also almost all the celebrities who attended the numerous international events held in S City were accommodated there.]
Wow, that's incredible! The production team must be loaded.
After the first one was shown, the second one appeared in the distance on the big screen in the live broadcast room.
The camera travels upstream to a lake, where ripples embrace a small, densely forested island.
[It's an island in the middle of a lake! Holy crap, a local resident of S City is testifying; it's all detached villas, worth at least 300 million yuan. Only the really super rich can afford to live there.]
It's said that the city's richest man lives there.
Filming is not allowed on the island in the middle of the lake. I've only ever seen luxury cars go in; I've never seen what it looks like inside. This production team is amazing; they managed to secure resources for the island.
The greenery inside is so beautiful, I'm so envious.
The camera didn't fly too far, but landed directly on a modern residence on the edge of the island.
White pillars support the frame, glass walls, and the whole building looks like a beautiful lamp with a small, shimmering blue indoor swimming pool inside.
Are you not going to be staying here?
[OMG, I only dare to dream about living in a mansion like this. To actually live here would be so awesome!]
Why did I have to see this?! This is the dream mansion I was never born into, and I'm destined never to have it.
Just as viewers in the live stream were eagerly anticipating the second location, and the guests on site were also eager to try it out, the camera suddenly stopped, focusing on a desolate corner on the edge of the island.
Although there is a place that resembles a port, what's with those blue tents next to the port?!
To make matters worse, a gust of wind suddenly blew in.
A gust of wind blew, and the tent swayed and collapsed.
— Collapsed
With another gust of wind, the tent flew into the lake.
— Gone
Good heavens, what a shoddy construction project!
A message appeared on the video: "After the production team's efforts to negotiate with the homeowner, the homeowner agreed to vacate their backyard for the guests to stay overnight. The tent is missing, so the guests have to find it and set it up themselves."
Hahahaha
This production team is really interesting.
Is this what they mean by "one heaven, one earth"?
[This is so unlucky! I can't even get a room in the maid's room at the mansion; I have to sleep in the backyard.]
"Alright, I believe everyone has a preliminary idea of where to stay tonight." The director turned off the video and continued to guide the flow of the program, "Next, all the guests will be divided into two teams to perform their programs, and the audience in the live broadcast room will vote in real time. When the voting ends, the team with more votes can choose whether to have a party in a river-view room or sleep in a tent at the harbor tonight."
"The two team leaders will be female, and the male members can choose which team to join."
"Now, please have both captains stand over here."
Wen Qingleng glanced at Su Yunruo cautiously, feeling somewhat resistant as she recalled her manager's advice to avoid being in the same frame as Su Yunruo.
But Su Yunruo stood up and walked directly to the director's side.
Good heavens, why is she taller than the director?
Not wanting to be outshone by Su Yunruo, yet also not wanting to appear awkward to the audience, Wen Qingleng struggled internally for a few seconds before standing up in despair and walking to a position a little further away from Su Yunruo.
He closed his eyes in pain.
She could already picture that scene.
The audience may not know, but those in the industry do. Who can take photos with whom and who cannot are written down in their notebooks like golden rules.
Su Yunruo is at the top of the list of people who cannot be photographed together.
She is tall, standing at 1.75 meters, just like a model. She has a pear-shaped figure, a small frame, and a well-proportioned body, making her even more attractive than a model.
She was also fair-skinned, with a healthy glow, and looked to be in excellent condition. It seemed that staying up all night filming didn't affect her at all.
Of course, most importantly, no one can deny that Su Yunruo is recognized as the epitome of purity in the industry.
When she smiles, her smile is bright and charming, and everyone who sees her will smile back.
Such captivating beauty cannot be matched by even the best physical appearance.
Who would want to play a supporting role?
Wen Qingleng pondered how she could compare to Su Yunruo.
She was immediately confused, but in her confusion, her gaze fell on Zhou Kantian in front of her.
A road opened up before us.
If I get breast and waist augmentation, will I look better than Su Yunruo?
Zhou Kantian received the gaze, but failed to notice the timidity and confusion in Wen Qingleng's eyes. He smiled and said, "Fu Huai and I are fine wherever we are. The children can choose first."
Fu Huai glanced at him, a fleeting hint of disdain in his eyes.
It's as if it's saying: Let the kids do the bad things first?
He then said: Never mind, it has nothing to do with me.
It was obvious that the twelve-year-old was naive; his deliberate tattling had already demonstrated his clumsy skills. The two children exchanged a glance and walked behind Wen Qingleng.
This is not surprising, after all, it would be illogical for any member of this group to actively choose Su Yunruo.
Next up is Zheng Chengcheng.
The dog looked at Su Yunruo and then at Lin Xingsen with its eyes.
Lin Xingsen was quieter than usual today. In the past, he would at least cooperate with the games when he appeared on the show, but today he seemed out of sorts throughout.
Zheng Chengcheng was always watching him, so she noticed that he would often sneak glances at Su Yunruo, just for a second or two, and he would do so under the guise of looking at the director or watching videos.
That's strange!
Of the four, he was the only one who had a slightly better relationship with Lin Xingsen. It wasn't because the two shared similar interests; it was because the other two were sticking together, leaving Zheng Chengcheng to rely on Lin Xingsen.
Heaven knows how much Lin Xingsen disliked him.
Through persistent efforts to win over Lin Xingsen, Zheng Chengcheng gradually figured out his personality.
Lin Xingsen is an arrogant person who disdains pretense.
His dad owns a game company and distributes the most popular competitive games of the past few years. With money in the family, he has the confidence to do whatever he wants, and he wears his heart on his sleeve and talks about whatever he likes or dislikes.
He clearly dislikes Su Yunruo, yet he secretly pays attention to her; something's really off.
"Zheng Chengcheng, it's your turn," Zhou Kantian reminded her.
"..."
"Zheng Chengcheng?"
Being urged again, Zheng Chengcheng was getting a little anxious.
"Lin Xingsen and I..."
Before Zheng Chengcheng could finish speaking, Lin Xingsen stepped behind Su Yunruo.
He was half a head shorter than Su Yunruo, and his mouth was hidden behind Su Yunruo's shoulder. He didn't make a sound, only his eyes were cold and indifferent.
This move shocked everyone present and even the live broadcast room.
It's fair to say that any one of these three people—Wen Qingleng, Zhou Kantian, or Lin Xingsen—would be problematic if they chose Su Yunruo.
The reason this show is so popular is because they publicly revealed their relationship with Su Yunruo and broke off all ties!
It's perfectly reasonable for them to fight and argue; how could they possibly stand on the same side?
Why choose her? Star, if you're being threatened, just blink.
[Is there a script? That lousy director forced Lin Xingsen to save face for Su Yunruo.]
[He's only twelve years old, can't he even choose freely? A die-hard fan of Lin Xingsen says his expression clearly showed his unwillingness.]
Two people standing close together were reflected in Zhou Kantian's eyes.
As a former idol, he is skilled at managing his facial expressions.
When the camera pans over, it's commonplace for him to smile and flirt with female fans in front of the camera.
Zhou Kantian, holding the bowl of rice, said, "Xingsen made the right choice. If he had also chosen Qingleng, then Qingleng would have to compete with the three of us adults, with one adult leading three children. That's not fair."
“Chengcheng, you should also join Su Yunruo’s group. Then Fu Huai and I will each choose a team leader, which will be fair.”
Zheng Chengcheng opened her mouth and let out a "whoosh" as she walked behind Su Yunruo.
It doesn't matter who he chooses; he thinks they're all pretty much the same. It's not like he's looking for a girlfriend, so why be so picky?
And being in a group with Lin Xingsen is quite good.
Only Fu Huai glanced at Zhou Kantian again.
Just as Zhou Kantian was about to speak, Fu Huai stepped behind Su Yunruo.
He didn't say anything.
But it also seems like something was said.
Zhou Kantian readily agreed, "It seems that Fu Huai and Su Yunruo have a very good relationship."
Fu Huai really wanted to roll his eyes.
"We didn't know each other before!" Su Yunruo's loud, silly voice continued, "There was no rule that it had to be four people per team, why did you all choose me? Are you my fans?"
Zhou Kantian: "?"
Everyone: "…………"
Fu Huai's gaze, which had briefly pierced Zhou Kantian's body twice, finally turned fierce and stabbed down hard, as if he wanted to kill him.
A few seconds later, he forced a smile and said, "Mmm."
Zhou Kantian discerned two words in that groan: "Damn it!"
