Chapter 30 [Updated] Senior Brother, you've entered the wrong guard post...
"Oh my god! He's so charming, what department is he in?"
Miao Xiaoyun paused, "He's not from our university, he's already working."
The classmate's expression changed slightly, and she rubbed her face, smiling as she asked, "Oh? So how did you two meet?"
Miao Xiaoyun's thoughts had long since drifted away.
She felt overjoyed whenever she thought of Zhou Kantian, especially on the day he confessed his love to her. His eyes were filled with melancholy, like a lost fawn in the forest, deeply wounded by the despair of having no way out.
He said, "I never expected that after all I've done, you still only see me as a friend."
Miao Xiaoyun's lips curled up slightly involuntarily.
It turns out that Zhou Kantian had always been afraid that she didn't like him.
How could she only see him as a friend? She likes him the most, the most, the most.
"Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun?"
A hand was waved in front of Miao Xiaoyun, pulling her back to reality.
How did you two meet?
Miao Xiaoyun had many thoughts in her mind, but she was stumped by the question.
Can she say that she got the contact information from Zhou Kantian's fan group?
When Zhou Kantian added her, it felt like a dream. He said he had seen her many times at fan meetings... At the time, Miao Xiaoyun thought Zhou Kantian recognized her, but she never expected that... he would fall in love with her at first sight.
My favorite idol fell in love with me at first sight during a fan meeting. How wonderful!
"Xiaoyun..." The classmate's expression became complicated because Miao Xiaoyun had been daydreaming several times. "Actually, I think..."
Miao Xiaoyun: "What?"
The classmate said awkwardly, "I'm only telling you the truth because I consider you a friend, but... you have to be careful when you're looking for a boyfriend, and don't get fooled."
Miao Xiaoyun almost rolled her eyes. These unsophisticated people were limited by their thinking. Her boyfriend was a big star!
Forget it, secret relationships are bound to experience this kind of doubt. She used to think those sisters-in-law were foolish, but now that she's a sister-in-law herself, she's tasted the sweetness and bitterness of it all.
They'll be so envious of them when Zhou Kantian and I announce our relationship.
"By the way, The King's Power aired early last night. Zhou Kantian looked so handsome riding a horse in it, so handsome that my legs went weak."
Miao Xiaoyun, who was originally immersed in her boyfriend, suddenly flew into a rage, "What did you see him doing?"
The student, startled by the shouting, stammered, "I...don't you like Zhou Kantian anymore?"
She simply remembered that Miao Xiaoyun liked Zhou Kantian, so she wanted to bring up Zhou Kantian to change the subject.
Miao Xiaoyun tried hard to suppress her anger, which was evident from her strange expression. "You're Zhou Kantian's dream girl, aren't you?"
"ah?"
Miao Xiaoyun felt disgusted just thinking about the person in front of her having sex with her boyfriend; it was as painful as having her best friend steal her boyfriend away.
She stood up, took the plate with barely any food on it, dumped it in the trash can, and stormed out of the cafeteria.
That's outrageous!
Why do I dream about my boyfriend?
Miao Xiaoyun's anger had nowhere to go, so she channeled it into boundless strength, stomping hard on the cement floor with loud thuds.
She stormed back to her dorm room, where three heads were still crammed in front of the laptop, the screen displaying an advertisement for "Let's Travel Together".
"It's starting, it's starting."
"I'm so anxious! The official website said there would be a mystery guest yesterday, and I was so excited. Who could it be?"
After the opening advertisement for "Let's Travel Together" ends, the camera focuses on the hotel entrance.
This show is the most popular variety show recently. Not only are there people watching the live broadcast, but there are also a large number of fans chasing after the guests at the venue.
Before the guests could even speak, screams from the fans could be heard coming from the loudspeaker.
"Zhou Kantian! Zhou Kantian! I like you."
"Fly bravely every day, and our fans will always follow you!"
Miao Xiaoyun's mindset changed at some point.
Before, when others liked Zhou Kantian as much as I did, they were like family. But now, it just sounds jarring, and I can't help but wonder why these people are interfering with the recording.
But as the volume of his voice increased, it seemed that Zhou Kantian had come out of the hotel, and she couldn't help but look over.
One of my roommates said, "Zhou Kantian looks pretty handsome today."
Another one: "He's really good-looking, a very sunny and cheerful young man. Hey, Xiaoyun, aren't you watching? Aren't you a die-hard fan of Zhou Kantian?"
Miao Xiaoyun ultimately couldn't resist the temptation and sat down next to her roommate.
Zhou Kantian was wearing a white long-sleeved shirt with a blue plaid shirt over it, light blue jeans, and sneakers today, looking particularly fresh and youthful.
Miao Xiaoyun smiled – this was her choice.
Zhou Kantian sent her a photo and asked which outfit she should wear. She chose this one, but Zhou Kantian complained that it made her look younger and that he would never wear it. However, she ended up wearing it on the variety show anyway.
My boyfriend is such a proud and arrogant guy!
He politely raised his hand to greet the fans in the audience, saying, "Good morning, everyone."
After speaking, he got into the car and faced the program crew's camera.
Zhou Kantian made a special gesture, "I still love you all today."
Miao Xiaoyun's heart was filled with even more sweetness—that gesture was a little secret Zhou Kantian had shared with her a few days ago.
Zhou Kantian said that when he made that gesture on the show, what he meant to say to her was something else.
Miao Xiaoyun felt as if she had grown little wings, and she swung her legs on the stool, so happy that she felt like she could fly away.
The next person to enter was Su Yunruo.
"Su Yunruo, you are not allowed to bully Xingxing anymore."
"Su Yunruo! Su Yunruo!"
Hearing this name made Miao Xiaoyun unhappy again.
Zhou Kantian said that the reason he disliked Su Yunruo so much was because Su Yunruo tried to sexually harass him while filming with him, and when she failed, she became angry and deleted his highlight scenes.
Miao Xiaoyun frowned as she looked at Su Yunruo in the camera lens, especially after she got into the car and saw Zhou Kantian. She paused for a moment before turning around and sitting down diagonally opposite Zhou Kantian.
Her eyes were filled with resentment and bitterness, just like the villainous female supporting character in a TV series who, unable to get the love she desires, tries to cause trouble.
A woman's intuition told her that Su Yunruo was definitely still up to her old tricks.
Miao Xiaoyun watched the two of them together on camera, and even saw some people in the comments section absurdly shipping this "arch-rival couple," and her heart began to race. She took out her phone and sent a message to Zhou Kantian.
【snort! 】
Zhou Kantian replied instantly: 【Baby, did you see my confession?】
Hmph!
Why are you humming? Are you a little pig?
Miao Xiaoyun: [You're not allowed to talk to Su Yunruo. I'm in the live stream, and I'll be watching you. /watching]
Okay, okay, my heart and mouth belong to you, baby.
Miao Xiaoyun finally relaxed, but before she could think of a reply, four words suddenly appeared on the other end: "Are you still in pain?"
Those four words had a magical power; they instantly dispelled her anger.
Her cheeks were burning hot, as if they had been scalded by fire.
The night before last, he tricked her into going to the balcony, saying he wanted to see the night view of CBD in S City, but his honest hands kept pinching her... He wouldn't let her run away, and whenever she tried to run, he would grab her back and bully her hard, while constantly whispering in her ear: "Are you going to run away or not?" "What are you afraid of? They can't see us from outside." "Baby, you're so beautiful."
Zhou Kantian is usually very gentle, but he becomes fierce when he bullies her. When she tells him to slow down, he does the opposite; when she tells him to be gentle, he makes her cry and holds her down so she can't move.
The intensity was so great that Miao Xiaoyun was trembling when she walked yesterday.
Miao Xiaoyun was both embarrassed and agitated. [Hmph.]
Have you applied the medicine?
Hmph.
I'll have someone book a plane ticket for you. I'll come over tonight and apply the medicine for you.
"Xiaoyun, it seems your idol isn't in the shot."
Miao Xiaoyun's roommate reminded her that her phone suddenly popped up with a WeChat call.
—Because he was calling me.
Miao Xiaoyun stood up proudly and went outside the dormitory to answer the phone.
"Baby, I'd rather hear your voice than a text message."
Although Miao Xiaoyun acted coquettishly in the bedroom, she was actually still shy when facing Zhou Kantian, "You, you..."
"I didn't talk to Su Yunruo, I was being very good."
Miao Xiaoyun felt like she had possessed a national idol, and she was so excited that she stomped her feet on the spot. But then, afraid that the other person would notice, she quickly restrained herself and asked, "Won't calling me affect my work?"
"The show is about to go into commercial break, and the production team said they're going to take us to our respective destinations. Come over tonight, I've prepared a big surprise for you at the hotel."
Miao Xiaoyun had three classes tomorrow, and was hesitating when someone said, "Let's play the pig game while we still have a few minutes left."
"What little pig game?"
"You have to hum and haw at everything I say. If you don't hum and haw, come find me tonight."
Even though they were separated by a phone, Zhou Kantian seemed to be standing right in front of her. Miao Xiaoyun didn't dare to face him and turned halfway around on the balcony. "I don't want to."
"It's started, do you miss me?"
"Hmph... Hmph."
“Speak louder, baby.”
Miao Xiaoyun pouted and said coquettishly, "You're so annoying!"
"Last night I dreamt that the baby was lying on the edge of the balcony and I couldn't stand it. Guess what I did and how I took care of it myself."
Miao Xiaoyun's memories were extracted by him, and her ears immediately burned. She turned halfway around, feeling both ashamed and excited. "Why are you saying these things?"
“No more humming, baby lost, I’ll book a plane ticket for baby.”
Miao Xiaoyun reluctantly agreed, and on the way to the airport, she opened Weibo out of boredom and saw that the news from the red carpet a few days ago was still trending on the hot search list - #Su Yunruo Ke Jinyang Fan Xingchen#.
I get so angry just thinking about the red carpet!
Su Yunruo is truly... unable to walk independently without a man.
If it weren't for her relying on two men, Tian Tian would definitely be the brightest star that night.
She once again felt contempt for this woman who had once tried to sexually harass Zhou Kantian.
...
The van sped past, its wheels whizzing across the overpass.
Director: "Based on the results of the last episode, the production team can grant you one request this time. Ms. Su Yunruo, is there anything you'd like?"
Su Yunruo was blindfolded and didn't know what was going on, but there was one question she was concerned about: "Is Wen Qingleng on her way to the snake's den?"
"Yes... that's right."
"My request is that she doesn't go, and we can start this episode as normal."
She got goosebumps just looking at that snake pit; she couldn't imagine what it would be like for a gentle, weak girl like Wen Qingleng who was afraid to speak her mind to go inside.
The production team was stunned: "Really?"
"Of course it's true. I originally wanted the team members to go into the snake pit with the captain, but then I thought about how the two little ones ran outside the circle to save me, so I decided against it."
After chatting briefly, Su Yunruo was finally taken to her destination.
City A is a historical city, and most of its attractions are classic works designed by master craftsmen hundreds of years ago.
Few trees, red walls and yellow tiles on stone slabs, surrounded by a white fence.
Whenever I visit such places, the thought that people from a hundred years ago saw the same scenery as I do creates a sense of temporal and spatial dislocation.
Su Yunruo stood upright for a while, then suddenly put her hands together and bowed simply to the building.
The accompanying director stood to the side, unaware of what she was doing. He waited until she finished before speaking, "Today's mission is to take photos and check in at the top ten scenic spots in City A. The guest who checks in at the most spots by 6 PM will win."
"Because the production team has limited funds, the eight guests can only share 1,000 yuan this time. Ms. Su Yunruo, you are the winner of last episode, so you can be the first to choose the travel expenses for visiting ten scenic spots today."
"You can start by choosing your mode of transportation to determine the final cost. Please note that the amount you choose now also includes today's lunch."
Su Yunruo said "Oh" and blinked her eyes, "Give me all 1,000 yuan."
【？？？】
【？？？】
[I briefly developed a liking for you because you wouldn't let Wen Qingleng into the snake pit, but I didn't expect you to start lowering my standards again in less than ten minutes.]
The viewers in the live stream were stunned. Su Yunruo, is this how you play games? Where is your basic interpersonal etiquette from variety shows?
Even the accompanying director couldn't help but twitch his lips, "Aren't you leaving any for the other guests?"
"Judging from your posture, this round is an individual battle, right?" Su Yunruo put her hands on her hips and laughed especially arrogantly. "Then of course I'll increase the difficulty of the game for my opponents."
Accompanying director: "..."
Live stream viewers: [...]
The show was always steered in a different direction by Su Yunruo.
Fortunately, the director gave an urgent instruction over the Unicom headset. The accompanying director said with a long face, "This episode has a mystery guest. Ms. Su Yunruo, please take care of the newcomer. Otherwise, no one will dare to come to our show next time."
Su Yunru tilted her head and thought about it seriously. "Okay, I'll take 930. They can each take 10 yuan of the remaining 70 yuan. That's enough for the subway and bus."
Accompanying director: "..."
Hahahaha, you're so vicious!
[Hahaha, now the other guests' live stream chats are all spamming: Su Yunruo stole your money!]
Yes, let's do it that way, make the game more difficult for the others!
Sisters, I'm going to wait for someone at the subway entrance.
[That's outrageous! How are the others supposed to play like this? Su Gongzhu is so selfish and disgusting, ugh!]
[I advise haters to stay away from Su Yunruo's live stream; it's full of negative comments.]
[Hilarious! Who wants to watch a variety show where everyone's happy and making money? We want to see guests competing, scheming, and plotting against each other.]
[This is hilarious! The production team really dared to let Su Yunruo choose first!]
What can you do? She got carried by a guy in the last episode.
[Can you haters just leave? Su Yunruo won the victory on her own merit, not by being handed it to her.]
[Is it because your mistress doesn't want to be protected by world champions or popular figures?]
This episode even had a separate mobile phone with WeChat installed, so all the guests had to post it on their WeChat Moments after checking in.
Su Yunruo stared at several familiar names in her contacts, guessing that everyone, like herself, was at a different tourist attraction once the blindfold was removed.
In other words, there are initially eight attractions to visit, and to win, you need to compete to visit the remaining two.
but--
No, she's mistaken.
The program team's statement about traveling to ten tourist attractions on a budget means that all ten attractions must be visited.
Su Yunruo asked the accompanying director, "Can the check-in points be covered? As long as your face is in the same frame as the attraction, it counts as a successful check-in?"
The accompanying director was on tenterhooks.
The accompanying director: What should we do? I have a feeling Su Yunruo is going to cause trouble. Although we did design the game so that the checkpoints could be covered by other guests, we didn't expect Su Yunruo to guess the unspoken rules from the very beginning!
He must be having a Mercury retrograde, otherwise he wouldn't have drawn the lot with Su Yunruo. It's too difficult.
"You've tacitly agreed."
The accompanying director nodded hesitantly, looking weak, helpless, and pitiful.
"Yay!"
Su Yunruo opened her contacts and, seeing no mystery guest, pulled the other six guests into a group chat. Pointing her phone at the camera and turning on her microphone, she said, "Attention everyone, all the funds for today are in my hands. Out of humanitarian considerations, I've left you 10 yuan each."
She pressed the voice key again and continued, "With this 10 yuan, you can go from this attraction to the next, and then walk to other attractions. You can also choose to take the subway or bus to find me and be my little brother. I'll cover your travel expenses and lunch today."
She paused for a moment, then added, "But I also need to receive some gifts. My underlings need to find a life-size cardboard cutout of me nearby and take a photo with it at a tourist attraction."
The WeChat group was flooded with question marks under the watchful eyes of the live stream viewers.
The viewers in the live stream couldn't resist joining in the virtual gifting.
Amidst the barrage of question marks from both sides, Su Yunruo said to the camera, "Stop sending question marks! Go tell your brothers where I am, and then tell them to bring 10 yuan to take the subway to find me, otherwise you won't have a single penny today."
Su Yunruo's antics completely ruined the original plan for the guests to compete for photo spots.
This is blatant exploitation of the working class by capitalist vampires!
Under the heavy burden of poverty, Wen Qingleng met with Zhou Kantian first and took a different approach by performing on the roadside to earn travel expenses.
The honest children went to find Su Yunruo's life-size cardboard cutouts. They found them, but the mall wouldn't lend them out, and even if they did, they couldn't enter the attractions.
While the guests were working like slaves, a mystery guest quietly made his appearance.
Su Yunruo, a "capitalist" who doesn't have to work, was taking pictures with her phone in front of a milk tea shop in a scenic area when suddenly a chicken doll that looks a lot like a duck quietly approached.
Over the weekend, thousands of tourists flocked to the scenic spot, crowding the streets after learning that a variety show was being filmed. Responding to the calls from her fans, Su Yunruo raised her phone to take photos with everyone.
——3
——2
——1
The time-lapse camera froze a certain moment. That moment should have been the highlight for Su Yunruo and the audience, but it was stolen by a slightly strange doll costume that seemed to have broken through the dimensional barrier.
Su Yunruo stared at it curiously for a while, unaware that the thing was quietly pushing through the crowd and approaching.
"Smack!"
The doll's hand landed directly on her head.
Su Yunruo raised her eyes and saw the chicken's big yellow paw. She turned around, raised her hand, made a gun gesture, and struck a cool pose.
"Don't move."
The chicken instantly raised both paws.
"I hate it when people touch my hair. Now, I'm executing you for bullying Su Yunruo." She made a shooting gesture and added a sound effect: "Bang—"
That's a really childish thing to do.
But what's absurd is that the chicken actually covered its chest, took two or three steps back, and, severely injured and unable to support itself, fell straight backward to the ground.
Hahaha, how can a chicken act so well?!
[LOL, is this a mystery guest?]
[Just came from this chicken's livestream and I have to say: The production team is so cunning! The mystery guest even wore a mask in their own livestream, so you had no idea who it was.]
Judging from the way he and Su Yunruo are exchanging pleasantries, they seem to be acquaintances?
Did Su Yunruo know in advance who the mystery guest was? Did the production team give her special treatment?
"Ouch, I've strained my back, let me stretch it." The chicken finally made a sound and reached out to Su Yunruo, "Police officer, help me!"
Su Yunruo was clearly taken aback, and it didn't seem like she was faking it.
That voice... sounds so familiar...
Su Yunruo seemed to recognize who it was.
Hahahaha.
Su Yunruo suddenly burst into laughter. As the chicken struggled to sit up, she squatted down and pressed it back onto the ground.
"Don't move! You're now under arrest for the crime of coming back to life."
"Aaaaaaah, help!"
The chicken rolled on the ground to get out of Su Yunruo's reach, then pushed itself up on all fours.
Su Yunruo put her hands on her hips and said, "Wearing a hood in this sweltering heat, aren't you hot?"
The person inside exhaled, "It's so hot."
He then removed his head, revealing Ke Jinyang's sweaty face.
Her hair was wet, the outer layer still maintained its shape, while the inner layer clung tightly to her forehead.
He has naturally fair skin, and after being cooped up for a long time, his face turns completely bloodshot, giving him a kind of passionate, athletic beauty like someone who has just finished a basketball game.
"Hello everyone, I'm Ke Jinyang."
Ahhh, I knew those two were so in sync! Turns out it was a gathering of acquaintances.
Wow, I was worried about the guest changes, but it turned out to be Ke Jinyang! I'm all set!
[Ke Jinyang and Su Yunruo have been appearing together quite frequently lately. Are they serious about this?]
[Impossible. If it were real, they wouldn't be constantly showing their faces in public like this. Real couples usually seem completely mismatched to the audience.]
[Hilarious! Ke Jinyang actually rolled around on the spot to escape the clutches of evil spirits! Where's your idol image?!]
"Have you checked in? Then come find me."
Ke Jinyang was taken aback. "What do you mean by 'checking in'?"
“It’s just about helping me clock in. I’m the richest person now, and you all have to work for me.” Su Yunruo said proudly, then winked. “Oh, I just remembered you’re not in the group. Add me on WeChat and I’ll add you to the group.”
Su Yunruo reached for her phone, looked down to open the QR code, and was about to let Ke Jinyang scan it when suddenly a hood fell from the sky, plunging everything into darkness.
"What are you doing? It's all sweaty inside, it stinks."
The accompanying director suddenly raised a megaphone and shouted, "Teacher Su Yunruo, out! Teacher Su Yunruo, out!"
"Haha." Ke Jinyang laughed arrogantly twice and announced loudly, "You underestimated us, didn't you?"
Su Yunruo: "???"
【？？？】
What constitutes elimination?
The accompanying director suppressed a laugh: "Ms. Su Yunruo, there can only be 8 guests appearing this episode. The 9 contestants will compete against each other. The guests who are given headgear need to leave the live broadcast room temporarily."
Su Yunruo couldn't help but lift her hood, her face full of frustration, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
The accompanying director said, "Individual battles are all about scheming and backstabbing, and besides, does our show even have rules?"
I won't say who the boomerang hit.
[Hahahaha, that's hilarious! This show has had no rules ever since you tricked everyone into trespassing!]
I thought Ke Jinyang was here to team up with Su Yunruo and distribute industrial saccharin, but it turns out he's here to destroy her.
[Family members, Fu Huai's live streams are connected. Who spread the rumor that Fu Huai was replaced? This is clearly a staged performance by the production team.]
[The director was relieved: Finally, we've removed the bug that is Su Yunruo.]
[Oh, I see! The check-in is just a pretext; the real reason is that nine people are competing for the right to stream in eight different rooms.]
After watching this show, I always feel like I'm the only fool.
[The only idiot +1]
I feel like my IQ isn't high enough.
[That's it! Please keep it up. I don't want to see Wen Qingleng and Zhou Kantian acting like artificial sweeteners; I want to see them tear each other apart.]
[That's awesome! So awesome!]
[This script is awful! They're deliberately creating interaction between Su Yunruo and Ke Jinyang; are they really going to make Su Yunruo leave the livestream? I don't believe it.]
Just as the hater finished questioning in the live chat, the accompanying director said, "Ms. Su Yunruo, your live stream room is now to be renamed Ke Jinyang's Live Stream Room. Please hand over your phone."
Su Yunruo thought to herself, "No wonder the mystery guest doesn't have WeChat; it turns out even their contact information is mobile."
As the first guest to be eliminated, it will be very difficult for me to turn things around.
Firstly, the trick has already been spread, so this hood cannot be used to deceive others into wearing it.
Secondly, they now have groups where they can chat together, and I don't know what they'll talk about.
Most importantly, from the director's perspective, Su Yunruo felt that being the first to be eliminated was actually the most appropriate choice.
Because if they get eliminated early, they'll definitely try to get others eliminated too. The others, like Lin Xingsen, Fu Huai, Zhou Kantian, Wen Qingleng… they all lack any sense of humor or variety show appeal, they can't really get the party going, and they might just give up immediately.
Su Yunruo took a short time to decide what to do next and then handed her phone to Ke Jinyang.
The accompanying director said, "Alright, you are free to move around now."
After saying this, the main camera of the live broadcast room was directly focused on Ke Jinyang, and Su Yunruo completely disappeared.
The viewers in the live stream were quite happy.
On one hand, there are Su Yunruo's fans who are laid-back, lacking fighting spirit and not fond of talking; on the other hand, there are casual viewers and haters who come for entertainment and are basically satisfied to see Su Yunruo get the short end of the stick.
[Everyone in the other live streams knew that Su Yunruo had been knocked out by Ke Jinyang, but no one showed any regret; some even wore expressions of satisfaction, as if saying, "She got what she deserved."]
[The cat and dog met up. Upon hearing that Su Yunruo had been eliminated by Ke Jinyang, they immediately opened their phones to watch Su Yunruo's live stream replay.]
[Wait a minute—Ke Jinyang inherited Su Yunruo's legacy, right? Does that mean the person who was forced to use Su Yunruo's poster for their photo op will have to have Ke Jinyang's face replaced?]
[The cat must be crying now. She spent ten minutes mentally preparing herself before daring to go inside the mall to ask the owner for a poster of Su Yunruo, only to have it all for nothing.]
[The cat is alright, but the dog is the one who suffered. He was carrying a life-size cardboard cutout of Su Yunruo to a tourist attraction and was stopped from entering. He almost had to kneel down and beg them to let him in for a photo op.]
Is Su Yunruo off work now?
Su Yunruo's voice came through the screen, "Hey, Ke Jinyang, let me tell you, all the guests on this show are cunning. Since you're new here, you need an experienced person to guide you."
Ke Jinyang: "Isn't it you who's the most cunning?"
"..."
Su Yunruo silently put on the chicken doll headgear and walked into the camera's view. "Director, if I wear the headgear, it's the same as not appearing on camera, right?"
The accompanying director was satisfied with Su Yunruo's reaction, saying, "It depends on whether the anchor is willing to have you following along."
Su Yunruo took off the doll's head and tried to put it on Ke Jinyang, but Ke Jinyang stopped her with both hands, and the plan failed.
Su Yunruo silently put it back on. "Look, even though I can't appear on camera, I have the sole right to eliminate someone."
Ke Jinyang laughed and said, "You can fool others, but I know you well enough."
"Let me finish what I have to say first." Su Yunruo pointed to her phone. "The final results won't be out until this afternoon, but you inherited my 930, so you'll definitely have more places to check in than they have."
"Thank you for your generous gift."
"Even if you score ten points, it won't matter. I'll ally with them, and if one or two people catch you, I'll put a hood over your head, and you'll be out of the game. You've worked for nothing all day."
Ke Jinyang could no longer laugh.
Because he discovered that it seemed to be true.
When he was wearing the hood, he never imagined that although he couldn't appear on camera, he had the absolute right to be eliminated.
The viewers in the live stream were also shocked by Su Yunruo's unconventional thinking.
Holy crap, holy crap, this idea is brilliant!
[To interpret being eliminated as having the only right to eliminate someone—Su Yunruo's interpretation is top-tier. It instantly elevates her status and position.]
[Previous second: I'm not listening to this bastard's rambling. Next second: Damn, looks like I just handed them a royal flush. Ke Jinyang: I won, but it looks like I lost too.]
Su Yunruo's voice became proud as she spread her hands and shook the doll's head, which was too big for her.
His buttocks wiggled from side to side without any regard for his image; he was as smug as could be.
"So what you should do now is kneel down and beg me to cooperate with you, after all, I am the kind of person who can directly eliminate the final winner."
Ke Jinyang tilted his handsome face back slightly and took a deep breath.
"Have you made up your mind? If not, I'm going to find someone else."
Snap—
Ke Jinyang knelt on one knee, holding up his phone with both hands, and said, "I'm following you today!"
The weather was sunny, and the streets were bustling with people.
Within this small circle that was cordoned off by security.
A yellow cotton doll with a body kneels on one knee with its hands raised high. Despite the comical scene, its upright posture exudes righteousness, making it seem as if a scene from the Oath of the Peach Garden is being performed.
Meanwhile, a person wearing a headgear that resembled a duck or a chicken held out both arms and gestured up and down like a kindergarten child doing calisthenics, jumping and spinning around, looking extremely happy.
Such actions might seem childish to elementary school students, but they're just right for college students!
So cute!
She's cute enough, but there's someone else acting opposite her!
Ke Jinyang dragged his kneeling leg to Su Yunruo's side, then solemnly and forcefully raised his phone. "Your Majesty, this is a treasure presented by your sinful subject Ke Jinyang. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy for the sake of this treasure!"
Su Yunruo turned her face away, extending her hand as if accepting a marriage proposal, both proud and noble, waiting for Ke Jinyang to take the initiative to put the phone in her hand.
That scene was absolutely hilarious.
Hahaha, what a perfect example of being flexible and adaptable!
[You're quite skilled at kneeling on one knee; you must have knelt a lot during your marriage proposal in the drama.]
[Su Yunruo is such a natural actress; her haughty little posture is spot-on.]
[He proved his acting skills in a completely unexpected way!]
Actually, I think her acting is really good; I've never felt out of place while watching her dramas.
[Su Yunruo is really something. If this happened to me, I would never have imagined that my elimination could be explained as having the sole right to eliminate someone.]
[Hahahaha, Kitty, I know you're watching! Are you trembling? Are you scared? I saw your whole face change in your livestream.]
[Luckily, it was Ke Jinyang who came. It wouldn't have had the same effect if it had been a stranger. I absolutely love gatherings with people I know.]
[I feel like filming with Su Yunruo must be a lot of fun; I saw Ke Jinyang was ecstatic. Who exactly bought the publicity stunts to spread rumors that Su Yunruo was arrogant and friendless on set?]
[Tuya, the last person to spread rumors about Su Yunruo, has already apologized in the gossip group.]
[That's right, and that black-clad guy with the fake skin has also deleted his account.]
[Wow, it feels like Su Yunruo's company is finally getting things done. Is Su Yunruo going to start focusing on business development next?]
Looking forward to Su Yunruo's fashion shoot and haute couture show. (Serious face.jpg)
Xiao Ou looked at everyone's hopeful expectations and sighed silently.
Don't get your hopes up, there won't be any cooperation.
However, Su Yunruo seems to be able to create more entertainment value when she is with people she is close to. When she changed into a full mascot costume, it was as if her soul had been possessed. She looked like a character from an animated film, and she walked with a half-hop and half-bounce, full of inexhaustible energy.
Ke Jinyang originally wanted to take Su Yunruo to the subway, but she was no longer burdened by the doll-like situation. She flung her arms around, stomped her feet hard on the ground, turned her back, and angrily looked up at the sky.
Ke Jinyang chuckled, "Your Majesty, don't you want to take the subway?"
The doll didn't answer, but pointed to the gleaming car on the side of the road, as if to say that this thing was more worthy of me.
Although Su Yunruo no longer shows her face, the number of viewers in the live stream continues to grow.
[Hahaha, Su Yunruo gets into character so quickly!]
Ke Jinyang's face was filled with regret. Had he eliminated someone? Or had he just picked up a tyrant?
[What is Su Yunruo pretending for? Is taking the subway making her feel uncomfortable?]
[Wouldn't that outfit get through security?]
I really love how she gets into character when she wears the wig. I wouldn't find it interesting if she just wore a wig.
Hey, this duck looks familiar.
[This isn't a duck, it's a chicken. The Dorothy logo.]
[Oh, I see. I hadn't paid much attention before, but after Su Yunruo put on its headgear, it was as if it had gained a soul. It's so adorable, I love it!]
Ke Jinyang understood their needs and could only take a taxi with tears in his eyes. He contacted Lin Xingsen and Zheng Chengcheng on WeChat—because he couldn't bring himself to make the two kids take the subway to find him, Ke Jinyang chose to go find them himself.
The four people met at the entrance of a tourist attraction in the suburbs of City A, where there were relatively few people.
Lin Xingsen and Zheng Chengcheng watched the replay of Su Yunruo's live stream, so they weren't surprised to see her wearing the entire mascot costume.
but--
Upon seeing the two, Su Yunruo suddenly adopted an angry posture, standing tall and straight like a soldier, raising both hands.
Zheng Chengcheng asked, puzzled, "Teacher Su Yunruo, are you feeling unwell?"
Ke Jinyang rubbed his forehead, then suddenly knelt on one knee. "Your Majesty, these are the young boys and girls I present to you."
Zheng Chengcheng: Shock!
A slight crack appeared on Lin Xingsen's stern face.
[Stand up and speak properly. Who is male and who is female?]
[The kitten and puppy: They're starting to regret it; they feel like they've encountered two lunatics.]
[Hahahaha, Cat Cat is really speechless and helpless every time she meets Su Yunruo. She doesn't talk much, but her "eaten shit" expression is never absent.]
When are you two going to stop acting?!
Ke Jinyang turned around and gestured to the two children, "Hurry up and pay your respects to His Majesty."
Lin Xingsen: ...
Zheng Chengcheng: ...
Zheng Chengcheng almost cried out, "Bro, do you think it doesn't matter if you mess around because you're a big star? Do you know how many people are surrounding this place?! You're going to be the death of the entire internet!"
But as soon as the toy chicken moved, Zheng Chengcheng instinctively knelt down on one knee as well.
Lin Xingsen looked at him instantly, his eyes filled with shock and speechlessness.
Su Yunruo suddenly pointed at Lin Xingsen.
Lin Xingsen was taken aback.
The hand moved up and down, gesturing for him to kneel down and pay his respects.
Lin Xingsen certainly wanted to leave; he didn't want to play such a childish and boring game.
However, after turning around and taking only a few steps, Zheng Chengcheng and Ke Jinyang suddenly grabbed his hands on either side. Ke Jinyang shouted, "Your Majesty, this traitorous person should be dragged away and executed!"
As they spoke, the two dragged the cold-faced young general Lin Xingsen away. The last shot of the three of them showed only Lin Xingsen's incredulous face.
[Cat: I've suffered.]
[Still the target of our group's bullying upon my return.]
[Hahaha, what great chemistry! Are you both afraid of making Su Yunruo angry?]
[Cat: Family, does anyone understand? As an i-person, I'm surrounded by e-persons.]
The photographer followed along, and the three of them, avoiding Su Yunruo, squatted together and discussed her. The content was roughly about how patience brings peace, victory always comes with hardship, and great responsibilities are bestowed upon those who are capable... etc., trying to persuade Lin Xingsen to put aside his idol image and play with Su Yunruo, after all, she had the only right to eliminate someone.
With the ideological work done, Lin Xingsen regained the courage to dance the Balala the Fairies dance, awkwardly and coldly following the other two to kneel and worship "Your Majesty".
After reaching a consensus, this temporarily formed team embarked on their mission, visiting not only designated checkpoints but also eating at roadside stalls and taking funny photos on street corners.
After a moment of joy, Xiao Ou, out of curiosity, switched to Fu Huai's live stream and discovered that his travel style was completely different from Su Yunruo's. He was actually carrying a guitar to various squares and showing the audience many live performances.
Having been victimized once, my way of thinking is much more mature than before.
It was true that Fu Huai was absent, as mentioned in the program group chat before, but the final outcome must be because someone intervened in the middle to thwart those people's dirty plans.
It shouldn't be Miss Su.
Who is it?
...
Xiao Ou waited in the room until the live stream was almost over. Towards the end of the game, Su Yunru put the hood back on Ke Jinyang's head, claiming it was for revenge; if we're going to die, we'll all die together. Ultimately, Zhou Kantian and Wen Qingleng, who had genuinely visited many scenic spots, won this round.
She climbed out of bed, preparing to go out to pick up Su Yunruo, when she bumped into a girl she had never seen before.
She looks so young, like a college student, and she's wearing the styles that Xiao Ou liked best when she was in school.
Xiao Ou suddenly became alert. "Have you come to the wrong place?"
The girl seemed unable to lie, shaking her head frantically with a look of fear on her face, "No, no."
Do you have a work ID?
Seeing her like this, Xiao Ou felt that she couldn't be a paparazzi, so she naturally suspected that she was a sasaeng fan.
"I……"
The girl's awkward lowering of her head only made Xiao Ou more suspicious. "If you don't explain your identity, I'll call the bodyguards."
"Sister Xiaoyun."
A figure came from the other side of the corridor.
She looked over and saw Zhou Kantian's assistant. She was initially shocked: "Brother, you look thirty! This girl is at most eighteen, and you call her 'sister'?"
Xiao Ou crossed his arms and put on a sour face, "Please keep your own people in check and don't let them come here. If anything happens, we'll check the surveillance footage and hold them accountable."
Since their bosses didn't get along, there was no need to pretend to be harmonious. The other party scoffed, "What are you being so presumptuous about? Do we really need to specifically hire someone to stake out Su Yunruo's numerous scandals? Sister Xiaoyun, let's go."
Xiao Ou thought to himself, "Of course you don't need to squat, you can just make things up."
Forget it, I won't stoop to his level. If I cause trouble, it will only bring trouble to Miss Su.
However, when Xiao Ou went to pick up Su Yunruo, she still told Su Yunruo about this. Now she reports anything that seems a little off, for fear of causing trouble unintentionally.
It's basically the story of how Zhou Kantian sent a strange woman to her room door, where Xiao Ou caught them red-handed, and Zhou Kantian's assistant denied it to the death.
Su Yunruo didn't think much of it.
Ke Jinyang came as a surprise guest and, out of courtesy, wanted to treat all the guests to dinner after the recording.
The location was on the third floor of the hotel. Su Yunruo, as a good friend, had the right to order some dishes, but as a female celebrity, she couldn't indulge in lavish meals, so in the end, this right was handed over to Xiao Ou.
They remained silent the entire way, Xiao Ou immersed in the joy of ordering food.
Su Yunruo returned to the hotel, took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and then took Xiao Ou out again.
Halfway there, I ran into a waitress who still had a clean makeup look even after a long day of work. I remembered that I should put on some lipstick to brighten my complexion, so I took a dusty rose lipstick from my bag and went into the restroom.
Just apply a touch of color, lightly circle the lipstick around your upper and lower lips, and then take a sip.
Ah~
Su Yunruo saw a surprised expression on her face when she saw herself in the mirror.
She pursed her lips. Would she make such a sound?
Su Yunruo genuinely doubted herself for a moment, but then she heard what sounded like an impact and saw that the doors to several cubicles behind her were open, except for the innermost one, which was closed.
It took me a few seconds to figure out what had happened.
She's not gossipy.
It's not uncommon for people to encounter something unexpected in the bathroom; it's quite common on film sets.
Based on the angles most often used in TV dramas, the camera would definitely be right in front of the man and woman's faces, capturing their fear and tension. Even though they haven't continued, they're close to each other, inhaling each other's breaths, creating an ambiguous atmosphere that makes them both a little shy. But after turning their faces away, they quickly meet each other's eyes, their gazes locked, creating a perfect ambiguity.
The system suddenly announced in his mind: [Detected Zhou Kantian being intimate with a wealthy woman in the women's restroom!]
"What?"
[Task progress 55%]
Su Yunruo blinked at herself in the mirror, and after realizing who the impatient and lewd man in the women's restroom was, she sighed and rubbed her forehead.
This system is practically a cheating radar.
Being in the same women's restroom as Zhou Kantian is definitely another shocking thing after Tuya showed her the video.
Su Yunruo resolutely chose to leave immediately rather than complete the task, feeling speechless.
Her high heels clicked as she reached the doorway, turned a corner in a short corridor, and finally escaped the overly strong aromatherapy scent. She let out a sigh of relief.
What were you thinking when you went into the women's restroom to have an affair?
Can you please show some respect to other people who need to use the restroom?
Nobody is interested in their petty squabbles; the thought of a man eavesdropping in the bathroom while you're using the toilet just makes you feel disgusted.
“Eh, Su… Teacher Su Yunruo.”
Su Yunruo was still calming down when she heard someone call her. She turned around and saw Wen Qingleng, who had also changed her clothes and was preparing to attend the banquet.
She dressed much more formally than I did, even changing into a different dress, while maintaining her usual makeup and hairstyle for the show.
"What a coincidence, do you need some toilet paper?" Su Yunruo asked casually to cover up her embarrassment.
Wen Qingleng shook her head. "I have it."
"oh."
"Um... thank you for today. Luckily you let me out of the snake pit."
Su Yunruo waved her hand, "It's okay, I'm also very scared of that thing. I feel like I'll have nightmares for a month if I go in."
Thank you so much.
"It's alright, go inside quickly."
"Uh-huh."
Wen Qingleng bypassed Su Yunruo and went straight to the women's restroom.
Su Yunruo was still thinking to herself how lucky she was that her friend hadn't noticed anything amiss.
However, it took her a few seconds to realize that Zhou Kantian and some random woman were doing something inside, and if Wen Qingleng went in to use the restroom, the scene would be disgusting!
He immediately turned around and chased after Wen Qingleng, "Hey, Wen Qingleng."
Wen Qingleng genuinely needed to use the restroom, and her chance encounter with Su Yunruo at the restroom entrance was purely accidental. Stopping to thank her was a matter of politeness, and after thanking her, she naturally quickened her pace to the restroom.
Strange, why is the door to the women's restroom closed?
Click
Wen Qingleng pushed open the door.
In the blink of an eye—
Her eyes widened, and her high heels, as if burned, became limp and unable to support her body.
Wen Qingleng's body involuntarily leaned backward, but fortunately, her core strength from dancing prevented her from falling.
Bang
The toilet door is closed.
Wen Qingleng's mind was thrown into utter chaos, like a tsunami crushing all her brain cells.
In the third second after she finally calmed down while looking at the door panel, she looked up and stared intently at the female character symbol next to the door frame.
As I watched, my mind went blank again, and I even became obsessed with the idea that the symbol should be a male character.
But why is there a woman in the men's restroom? And a girl who looks so young at that?
Some female internet celebrities look like they're 28 when they're only 14, and even if they pretend to be innocent, no one would think they're underage.
However, some girls have never been involved in society, and their age can be determined by their appearance.
Moreover, idols have a very professional eye for fashion and style.
Wen Qingleng judged that the girl exuded a unique kind of clear naiveté under the attributes of being worldly, naive, and deep, and did not seem to be over 20 years old.
Click—
"Junior sister, actually I..."
Zhou Kantian, who had already come up with a reason, met the gaze of Su Yunruo, who had caught up and tried to stop Wen Qingleng.
"Miss Su, why aren't you ready yet, Ke Jinyang..."
Behind Su Yunruo, Xiao Ou, who was running in with a bag, bumped right into Zhou Kantian.
"Why are you two taking so long? I finally managed to treat you to a meal..."
Ke Jinyang met Su Yunruo's gaze as she was about to turn around and cover Xiao Ou's mouth.
This narrow corridor, two meters wide and five meters long, accommodated its maximum capacity. Several people wore different expressions, and the dim light and shadows cast by the lamplight outlined their different postures.
Splash—
The sound of flushing came from the men's restroom next door.
Someone raised both arms and flicked water outwards.
"Xiaolin, let's go together later..."
The sound stopped abruptly.
All was silent.
The dog's darting eyes swept over the faces of the group before landing on Zhou Kantian, where it frantically tried to identify the humanoid marker.
Immediately, Zheng Chengcheng, that big idiot, exclaimed, "Senior Brother Zhou Kantian, did you go into the wrong restroom?"
"..."
"..."
"…………"
