Chapter Sixteen, The Escape, is about to air!



During the filming of the variety show, Ye Chu's previous fruit juice gummy advertisement had been produced, rendered, and officially released.

After tidying up her room that day, Jiang Ke, as usual, sat in front of the TV watching a show while eating snacks. The popular show she was watching abruptly ended at a high-energy part, making her potato chips taste bland in an instant.

"Ugh, this is so nerve-wracking! Will they find out?" She chewed on her potato chips in frustration, not changing the channel, and just sat there waiting for the commercials to end.

Suddenly, a burst of laughter and chatter rang out. She looked closely, somewhat puzzled: "What's this? A skit?"

The shy girl on TV awkwardly rejected the candy offered as a chance to make friends. Despite her desire to fit in, she was separated from the others and felt sad alone.

The stark contrast between the cheerful laughter and the girl's sorrow immediately made Jiang Ke anxious for her: "Oh dear! Hurry up and go! Don't be afraid!"

Just as she was feeling frustrated and disappointed, the camera shifted, and a girl in a white dress, wearing a flower crown, and smiling sweetly suddenly appeared in front of the camera. Jiang Ke noticed the girl's ears—pointed ears. She immediately realized what was going on, but then wondered, "What? It even has fantasy elements?"

It wasn't until the very end of the commercial that Jiang Ke realized, "This is a gummy candy commercial?!" She had thought it was some kind of advertisement encouraging introverted people to make changes... However, Jiang Ke looked at the cutely packaged gummy candies that lingered on the screen for a moment, and ah! Damn, I kind of want to eat some.

So she couldn't help but log onto her Weibo account and post a status update to vent.

Coco: I was waiting for the show to air when I saw an ad. I thought it was some kind of touching promotional video! But it turned out to be a gummy candy ad! The important thing is, the fairy girl made me crave the gummy candies! I'm so drooling over the gummy candies in her hand…

Jiang Ke doesn't have many followers on Weibo, but they are all real people, not fake followers. They are mostly fans of the same idol.

One of her friends quickly replied: I saw that ad too. At first, I thought it was an ad campaign against bullying in school, but it turned out to be so awkward...

Go for it! Hahaha, all of you sisters saw this while waiting for the show to air, right? Me too!

I'm a pro at shopping! I'm going to the supermarket tomorrow to stock up on snacks, and I'm thinking of checking if they have these gummies. I'm so tempted...

Seeing that she wasn't the only one who had been scammed, Jiang Ke nodded in satisfaction. While other commercials were still playing on TV, she went to browse other people's Weibo accounts.

Chu Chu was me: "Aww, I love sister's new ad! I was so excited at the event, I was practically begging for a bag of gummies, I'm buying them all!"

Jiang Ke glanced at the screenshot under the Weibo post; it was indeed the girl from the advertisement. Chu Chu was Jiang Ke's former high school classmate, and they had a pretty good relationship. Jiang Ke knew she was also a fan of celebrities, but she couldn't remember her name for a moment.

So she casually stumbled into the super topic where this Weibo post was published: Ye Chu.

"Holy crap! Wasn't this trending on Weibo a while ago?!" Jiang Ke was shocked. She had heard about the trending topic a while ago, but since it had nothing to do with her idol, she hadn't paid much attention to it.

…………

Ye Chu is trending on social media again because of an advertisement. Her two images in the advertisement left a deep impression on netizens.

Riding on the wave of popularity generated by the advertisement, the official escape team also released specific times and information regarding the relaxation of restrictions.

Escape V: Are you ready to escape together, players? Tune in to Xingxingtai at 7:30 PM on March 12th, and let's set off on time to prepare for our escape!

The accompanying image is the cover of a TV series, showing Ye Chu and Gu Yu with their foreheads touching. Ye Chu has her eyes closed, and tears are sliding down her cheeks. Gu Yu also has his eyes closed, but there is a cut on his face, with beads of blood dripping down.

Gu Yu, my husband: Ahhh, brother! I can do it again!

A sneaky kiss: I'm all set! I'm all set! See you all next Friday night!

Aww: Sister is so beautiful, I love her so much! But what's wrong with this picture! One is crying and the other is bleeding, is this angst? Or is it a bad ending? I'm so afraid of heartbreak...

Xiaoxiao who gets up early V: I'm late with the drawing, I don't know if I'll still be able to get online. My daughter's new work, which I've been eagerly anticipating, is finally out! Let's go, go, go!

Fans were discussing it enthusiastically, and the broadcast time quickly became a trending topic, attracting many onlookers. Of course, there were also quite a few trolls, but their shouts went unnoticed because everyone was drawn to new information.

Escape V: I feel everyone's enthusiasm! It'll be another week before we meet. While we wait, let's watch some cute behind-the-scenes moments together! [Video]

The behind-the-scenes video was short, but it immediately drove fans wild.

In the video, Ye Chu, playing the female lead, is deathly pale, staring blankly at the air in front of her, gesturing wildly. Because there's no post-production editing, she's surrounded by a green screen, making her look like a fool. The camera then cuts to Gu Yu, who is even seen making several kicking motions. The camera then pans off-screen, where the audience hears the maniacal laughter of many people in the audience.

Gugugu: Hahaha, to be honest, it's really confusing without post-production! It reminds me of behind-the-scenes footage from fantasy dramas, but those dramas have elegant hand gestures and spellcasting; without special effects, it's just a bit awkward. This... hahaha, sorry, but it really looks like something an idiot would do! (Dog head emoji for protection)

I'll pluck a star for you: As a fan of Gu, I'm serious right now, trying hard not to laugh. Our brother is so handsome! He's not stupid! Really... hahaha, really!

I vanished without a trace: I hope the authorities can help me explain this. I was watching this with my parents, and I laughed like a pig. Now my parents don't recognize me as their daughter! What do you suggest I do?!

EscapeV replied to I'm Gone Without a Trace: My advice to fellow escapee is to get your parents hooked too! The real fun is when everyone's squealing like pigs together!
