Chapter 57: Falling in love with Shang Que is as easy as drinking water...
[Oh my god! Who could possibly understand the devastating effect this sentence could have on a person obsessed with their sister?!]
[Wow, wow, wow, if my sister said that to me, I would die without regrets.]
[Hey, are the corners of Ji Jingchuan's eyes a little red? ]
[Speaking of which, did you see the look in Shang Que's eyes when Ji Jingchuan was singing on stage at the bonfire party just now, which was truly filled with pride and satisfaction?]
[It's over, Ji Jingchuan, you'll have to obey Shang Que for the rest of your life.]
Ji Jingchuan was suddenly frozen in place by these words. After a long while, he averted his eyes, which were obviously red, and snorted awkwardly, "You only know this now?"
Shang Que could hear a hint of complaint and a lot of grievance in his tone. To show that she wasn't that slow-witted, she retorted calmly, "Not really. I actually discovered it a long time ago."
Ji Jingchuan suddenly glared at her, "You realized it a long time ago, but you've been holding it in for a while now? Shang Que, you're really saying one thing and thinking another, aren't you?"
“…”
No, it seems I've fallen into a trap.
Ji Jingchuan's true intentions were exposed: "Then those insults you said to me on Weibo before must have been a double-edged sword, right? On the surface, you were scolding me, but in your heart you were thinking, how could there be such an outstanding person in the world -"
After a pause, he pretended to be Shang Que's perspective, raised his lips and eyebrows and said, "You are worthy of being my brother."
[How can there be such a narcissistic person in the world! You are indeed Ji Jingchuan! ]
【The formula is fast, hahahaha. 】
[Who said we, Ji Jingchuan, hold grudges? Come out now—you're right.]
[Are all younger brothers in the world the same? They'll start a dyeing factory if they're given a little color. Ji Jingchuan, if you keep acting up, your sister will suppress you with force and you'll be quiet.]
[But I feel like he wants to hear Shang Que say proudly, "You're worthy of being my younger brother."]
Ji Jingchuan's thoughts were obvious, and Shang Que said perfunctorily but cooperatively: "Yeah, yeah, you're really excellent, you're worthy of being my brother."
Hearing this as he wished, Ji Jingchuan felt relieved: "Well, after all, I am the best person in the world." He turned to look at the director, "I choose to travel with everyone."
"Yeah!"
Applause and cheers rang out.
"Long live Sister Shang Que!"
"Hey, hey, I promised to take you there, why are you only thanking Shang Que? I want to live long too."
"Shang Que, did you hear that? Ji Jingchuan wants to usurp your throne!"
"I didn't, Shang Que, don't listen to her nonsense."
The camera slowly moved away, and the fighting sounds became background noise coming from outside the screen. The puppy dozing in the rocking chair tucked its tail and continued to sleep peacefully.

Early the next morning, everyone was called to gather in the courtyard of the B&B.
The live broadcast hadn't started yet, and everyone looked sleepy. Ning Sheng forced his eyes open and asked, "Isn't the train at 8:30?"
"You woke us up at five o'clock?" Lin Jinyi pointed at the sleeping puppy: "It's not even daybreak yet, and the dog isn't awake yet."
Jiang Yizhe yawned and asked confusedly, "Should we walk to the train station?"
"Of course not, but we have a task for everyone on the train to Ulinati." The director, facing the angry gazes of the crowd, did not dare to keep the secret any longer. "In order to avoid causing a commotion on the train and disrupting normal traffic order, the program team will adopt hidden filming. The guests will also need to disguise themselves to ensure that they are not recognized by passers-by."
"The three boxes behind me contain props for disguise. Each group will choose one. After you've made your selection, our staff will create your costume based on the contents."
All three boxes were made of wood and sealed tightly, making it impossible to tell what was inside. The only difference was their size: the largest box could fit a person, while the smallest was only 40 to 50 centimeters wide.
Lin Jinyi spoke first: "Our group will choose the biggest one!"
The more props you have, the easier it is to disguise.
Ji Jingchuan thought exactly the opposite of what she did. He had a premonition that the director would set a trap here. In order not to give the director too much opportunity to perform, he and Shang Que picked the smallest box.
The medium-sized box fell into the hands of Ning Sheng and Lu Zhixu.
"It looks like each group has been selected," the director added, "To test the guests' acting skills, there are six of your fans on the train. In addition to avoiding passers-by, you must also prevent them from recognizing you. Once they call out the name of someone they called out to their face, that person will be eliminated. The eliminated person will need to get off the train at the next stop and take a bullock cart to Ulinati."
Hearing this, Lu Zhixu, who had just opened the box, closed the lid silently, just right to block Ji Jingchuan's gaze.
Jiang Yize heard the commotion and asked curiously, "What are your group's props?"
Lu Zhixu smiled and said, "Keep it secret."
"What's so secretive about this?" Lin Jinyi didn't care. She opened their group's box, and the next second, she exclaimed in surprise: "No, how can this be disguised?"
Inside was a full set of Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask cosplay costumes. The reason the box was so wide was because it also had a pair of large white wings.
Ning Sheng couldn't help but sigh: "How conspicuous."
"I knew the director would tamper with the props, but I am the one who has foresight." Ji Jingchuan was very proud.
Lin Jinyi angrily retorted, "Do you think you can't do anything with the small box?"
Ji Jingchuan shot back: "It's better than your group's."
"That's not necessarily true. If you have the guts, take it apart and see."
"Tear it down—"
Shang Que: "Ahem."
Ji Jingchuan almost fell into the trap, but when he heard Shang Que's cough, he stopped talking and looked around - these people were indeed staring at the box in front of him with ulterior motives!
"Hmph, I won't open it," Ji Jingchuan reacted and held the box tightly behind him. "Shang Que, let's go to the styling room."
The program team prepared a separate room for each group to do the styling. Ji Jingchuan went in, closed the door, and put down the box in his hand only after making sure that no one was peeking.
"Our group's props are definitely better than theirs." Ji Jingchuan confidently opened the box. Inside was a set of men's clothing and a set of women's clothing, as well as two wigs, also for men and women, one long straight black wig and the other with a wolf tail.
"Look what this genius has to say!"
"It's indeed normal." Shang Que nodded, "But Ji Jingchuan, have you ever thought that if we are too normal, won't we be easily recognized?"
Ji Jingchuan was stunned for a moment: "It seems so, what should I do?"
"The best way is for you to wear women's clothes and I'll wear men's clothes." Shang Que picked up the one-piece skirt and analyzed it logically: "They definitely won't expect us to disguise ourselves like this."
"You want me to wear a skirt???" Ji Jingchuan's voice suddenly rose.
"What's wrong with wearing a skirt? Weren't you happy wearing skirts when you were a child?" Shang Que said in a tone of "What are you making a fuss about?"
"How could I have that?"
"When you were seven or eight months old, I gave you my childhood skirt to wear. You smiled so happily and didn't even say you didn't want to."
"Seven or eight months?" Ji Jingchuan frowned. "Did I learn to speak by then?"
"I don't know, but you didn't say you wouldn't wear it." Shang Que reminisced, "You were still so cute back then. You could play however you wanted, or rather, dress up however you wanted."
Ji Jingchuan seemed to have heard something slipped out of her mouth, but before he could think about it, Shang Que sighed: "Alas, not like now——"
"What's wrong now?" Ji Jingchuan saw her sighing and blurted out anxiously: "I didn't say I wouldn't wear it now!"

At eight o'clock, the live broadcast room opened on time, and the first scene played was the recording of them selecting props at the B&B.
The barrage of comments was full of heated discussions.
[Oh my god, I was woken up at five o'clock, and the donkey hasn't even started grinding yet.]
I'm curious if the director used to do prank shows, otherwise how could he come up with so many tricks.
What's Ji Jingchuan doing so stealthily? Is he trying to sneak a peek at the other groups' looks and share them with the fans on the train?
[Hahahaha, that's right. Luckily Lu Zhixu reacted quickly.]
[The eldest lady is still too naive. She will behave herself when she is recognized by fans first.]
So who are the lucky fans who got drawn? You guys are really tight-lipped.
【Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! I can't wait to see the looks of Lu Zhixu and Ji Jingchuan! 】
After the recorded segment ended, it was around 8:20 and the scene switched to the crowded aisle of the train.
Lin Jinyi and Jiang Yizhe's cosplay was very eye-catching, and they were recognized by the audience as soon as they entered the camera. However, the other four people were nowhere to be seen.
Just as the barrage of comments was flooding the screen with comments like "Shang Que is not on this bus at all" and "Ji Jingchuan must have gotten on the wrong bus", in one of the frames, a somewhat strange man and woman walked in, one after the other pushing suitcases.
The "girl" in front was tall, her pleated skirt reaching only mid-calf, and she wore black overalls underneath. Despite her odd outfit, her androgynous face was breathtakingly beautiful. She had upturned peach blossom eyes, a prominent nose, and thin lips. But now, her lips were pursed, her expression stern, and she exuded an air of coldness that kept people at a distance.
After a moment of surprise, the fans were the first to recognize him.
[This is... Ji Jingchuan?! ]
[It seems so true. Holy shit, I almost called her my wife, but how come she is actually my husband?]
【Clay modeling fans rejoice!!!】
[So, the handsome guy behind is Shang Que? ]
[Ah? This is Shang Que? Then what about my earlier feelings of love?! ! !]
Shang Que wore a black and white baseball jacket, with the sleeves rolled up, revealing his muscular arms. He wore a black T-shirt underneath, and wore headphones around his neck. He had a red wolf's tail, glowing white skin, and sharply shaped eyebrows with an eyebrow stud at the end. At first glance, he looked very youthful.
But when she saw the hidden camera, she smiled at the camera.
Suddenly, the barrage of comments surged.
[Ahhhh, falling in love with Shang Que is as easy as drinking water! ]
[She is teasing me, she is teasing me! ]
[As expected, husband is a feeling. 】
Amidst the frantic howling of comments, a minor incident occurred on the livestream. Ji Jingchuan wasn't watching the road carefully, and the suitcase he was pushing ran over someone's foot. He paused, about to speak, but then remembered he was pretending to be a girl, and fearing his voice would reveal himself, he shut up again.
The older brother sitting in the aisle seat grimaced and hugged his legs. Seeing that he was standing there without saying anything, he said with an unhappy face, "Are you mute? You can't even say sorry after running over someone?"
"I'm sorry," Shang Que stepped forward and took Ji Jingchuan's arm. "My sister can't speak. I apologize to you on her behalf."
She deliberately lowered her voice, and it sounded like a completely boyish voice with a hint of magnetism.
When the eldest brother heard this, he was stunned. He looked at Shang Que with a sincere face, then looked at Ji Jingchuan who started to sign language, and a look of guilt appeared on his face.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I shouldn't have put my feet in the aisle." He jumped up from the chair and took the suitcase from Ji Jingchuan's hand. "Where do you two sit? I'll help you put your bags up there."
Ji Jingchuan was still signing.
Shang Que translated, "He said thank you. He was often bullied because he couldn't speak, and he thought it would happen again this time. He didn't expect you to be so kind."
The eldest brother bowed repeatedly: "No need to thank me, no need to thank me. I was rude just now. I'm really sorry."
[Hahahaha, you two, stop acting! I'm about to kowtow to you.]
[I wake up in the middle of the night and slap myself: No, I really deserve to die!]
[When did Ji Jingchuan learn sign language? ]
[What kind of sign language is that? He's using a slowed-down version of the Naruto hand seal.]
Shang Que and Ji Jingchuan sat next to each other. There was only one girl sitting in the opposite row, watching a variety show she had downloaded in advance on her tablet.
It seemed like the Bluetooth headset was out of battery. The video suddenly played out loud, and the voices of Ji Jingchuan and Shang Que came out: "Fat ball, fat ball, fat ball!"
"Goo-dan, goo-dan, goo-dan!"
【Hahahaha why are there so many variety show fans everywhere?】
[This young lady is very classy. I never get tired of watching this clip.]
I almost forgot the scene at the beginning of the variety show where they hated each other and killed each other. Thanks to the lady for bringing me back to it.
[It's hilarious, like old enemies reconciling and then revisiting their old grudges in front of each other.]
[I wonder what the young lady's reaction would be if she found out that the real person was sitting opposite her.]
"Sorry, sorry, my headphones ran out of battery." The girl hurriedly turned off the sound, looked up and saw Ji Jingchuan's face, her eyes suddenly widened: "Ji——"
"Ahem."
"Cough cough cough cough!"
Two deafening coughs scared the girl so much that she swallowed back the rest of her words. She glanced at Ji Jingchuan, who was winking wildly, and vaguely guessed something. With a roll of her eyes, she changed her words abruptly: "Do you still remember me? When we were little, you played at your house and I played at mine. We didn't know each other since we were little."
