Overseas tutors
The offline handshake event of "Super Idol" lasted from the bright and sunny afternoon until dark.
Yi Jingchen's queue was the longest. The other eight trainees finished one after another, and there were several groups behind him.
The S-series draft holds offline handshake events almost every year.
Veteran fans and trainees who are familiar with talent shows know that whether or not one can participate in the handshake session and the length of the handshake queue can directly reflect the popularity of the contestants in this session.
In previous years, there were always some hosts and fans who were too concerned about their reputation and tried every possible way to delay time and end their queues later.
This year, the production team has added more places to the TOP team, and there are staff members who strictly enforce the time limit, so there is basically no room for maneuver.
Fortunately, the trainees who participated in the event did not have any intention of deliberately comparing with each other.
After their own queue ends, they will chat and sing with everyone to liven up the atmosphere so as not to bore the guests sitting below.
Yi Jingchen did not deliberately speed up or lower his spirits just because it was near the end.
Even when it was the last batch, he still maintained the same attitude as when he met the first fan, and presented a personally made amulet to each Chen family sister or cat fan who came before him.
Finally, the man at the end of the line walked up to Yi Jingchen.
The staff reminded, "He is the second-best brother on your lucky bag list."
"Huh?!" Yi Jingchen widened his eyes in surprise.
[The second brother on the list?]
[He must have some plans for me!!!]
Although Yi Jingchen did not witness the voting in person, he knew how outrageous his position on the lucky bag list was.
In that case, anyone who can make it to the TOP100 must be a die-hard fan, let alone the second one.
Yi Jingchen looked at his face and confirmed that he had never seen this man offline before.
The man exudes a 'fashionable' temperament, and he doesn't seem like one of those i-attribute cat fans who hang out in the 2D otaku circle and secretly become a pervert behind the screen.
Could it be a new fan who spends a lot of money?
Yi Jingchen had this thought, but quickly rejected it.
The other person's eyes were calm and his tone was indifferent, completely different from the new fans in the 'honeymoon period'.
When the two looked at each other, the man's eyes were calm and peaceful, and it was hard to tell whether he was a fan or not.
Even if Yi Jingchen doubted the other party's fan status, after all, he had spent money to get second place on the lucky bag list and took the trouble to come to the handshake event, so he did not lose out in terms of financial resources and energy.
Yi Jingchen did not neglect him at all. He treated him as a fan and handed over the protective bag to the other party.
"Hello, I'm giving you a talisman. I wish you peace and happiness."
The man stared at the brocade bag for a while before taking it and saying in an ambiguous tone, "Thank you, I'll give it to her."
“Huh?” Yi Jingchen was even more confused.
'who is she?
Could it be that this man was participating on behalf of someone else?
The handshake meeting is scheduled for the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, which is not yet the time to resume work and school.
Could it be that the person he was replacing was abroad and couldn't come back?
The more Yi Jingchen thought about it, the more he became obsessed with it. He almost wanted to pull Gua Gua out and question himself why he couldn't hear the voices of ordinary people.
That way, he could guess who the man came for.
Guagua: "Host, host, at this moment, don't you think I'm useless?"
"Hate it!" Yi Jingchen dropped a word, making Guagua extremely withdrawn.
The man just followed the procedure and spun the random wheel.
I was lucky enough to get two TO visas and one hidden benefit.
Ever since the first hidden benefit of the domestic silver gradient was transferred out, several fans have switched to that option one after another.
Yi Jingchen told them in advance that the wishes of "being happy every day" and "debuting as the center" had already been made by someone else, and asked them to make some wishes for themselves.
People who came to him chattered and left many wishes.
Some people hope that Maodian will participate in offline comic exhibitions, some people invite Yi Jingchen to visit their hometown after his debut, some people want to see Yi Jingchen cosplay a designated character, and some people require that the final solo must be in women's clothing, etc.
Yi Jingchen remembered their wishes one by one and agreed to them.
Now, Yi Jingchen gave the last wishing card, curious about what the man would write.
When the man got the wishing card, he didn't make a wish immediately. Instead, he asked for a signature first.
He handed over two cards, one was a physical hidden card exchanged for the "Super Idol" lucky bag list, and the other was a photo he printed himself.
During the Chinese New Year, due to the suspension of logistics, Xiaoka peripherals could not be delivered to everyone in time.
"Super Idol" provides two solutions: either you can exchange the lucky bag cards on the spot, or you can print photos, postcards, etc. by yourself, and you can sign them after the program team reviews them and they meet the regulations.
Many people in the front line printed out the cosplay photos of Cat Palace and secretly asked Yi Jingchen to draw a cat paw for them.
However, the photo the man handed over was a landscape photo without any people in it.
The pixels of the landscape photos are not high, it is estimated that they were taken several years ago.
Yi Jingchen first picked up the small card that he was familiar with, and the man only asked him to sign his name.
The next step was to change to a landscape photo. Yi Jingchen observed it again and felt that the scenery was something he had seen in a dream.
"What's this signature? Is it a signature?"
Man: "Please sign this one for me, and write your name on it..."
"Yi Huizhen."
He whispered the name.
Yi Jingchen held the pen in the air, and when he heard the name, the tip of the pen trembled and paused for a long time before falling.
[Yi Huizhen…]
[Grandma?]
Before he was nine years old, Yi Jingchen lived in a strict family with strict rules.
The two elders of the Yan family were typical feudal patriarchs, with an old-fashioned style, treating their ancestral home as a palace. Every time Yi Jingchen went to the ancestral home, he would kneel down and kowtow three times and nine times without getting up.
As far as he could remember, he had never called the old lady of the Yan family "Grandma" because she didn't like the name and asked him to change it to "Grandmother".
Later, Yi Jingchen left the Yan family and was raised by his mother's mother Yi Huizhen. He changed her surname and naturally called her grandma.
After many years, Yi Jingchen was stunned for a moment when he heard the name again.
He originally thought they had the same name and surname, but when he saw the scenery in the photo, he realized it belatedly.
Blue sky, white clouds, red house...
A scene straight out of a fairy tale.
This is the story his grandmother told him before he went to bed about the place where she grew up.
Yi Jingchen put down his pen and looked at the man in front of him.
"Excuse me, who are you to my grandmother?"
"I am her elder sister's grandson, so I am your equal," the man replied. "The main reason I came to see you this time is to fulfill my great-aunt's last wish."
As he said this, he took the pen and lowered his head to write on the wishing card.
Yi Jingchen looked at him quietly, his thoughts gradually returning to the past...
My grandmother told me that she was born into a noble family and later married into a wealthy family. She was considered a woman with a "good life" by others.
When she was young, she was well educated and a typical lady from a noble family.
Unfortunately, she was forced by her father to marry a husband with a strong desire for control. From then on, she became a nightingale locked in a cage, and could only stay at home to take care of her husband and children, becoming the so-called "good wife and good mother".
Occasionally, she wanted to go back to her parents' home, but her husband ruthlessly refused.
When Yi Jingchen was nine years old, he was kicked out of the Yan family, and no relatives on his father's side were willing to take over.
In the same year, Grandma Yi Huizhen was diagnosed with a brain tumor.
She gave up surgery, and the doctor said she could only live for a year at most.
The countdown of life was ticking, but it made her feel extremely relaxed.
Yi Huizhen was finally able to move out of her cage-like home on the pretext of "terminal illness" and took the homeless Yi Jingchen with her.
In the following months, the two lived in the house in the suburbs.
Grandma would bake him cookies, make delicious cakes and tell him bedtime stories.
It was not until then that Yi Jingchen realized that parents can like their children.
Yi Jingchen firmly believed that his grandmother would love him for a long, long time.
Before my tenth birthday, my grandmother fainted without any warning.
She knew that she didn't have much time left, and she didn't want little Yi Jingchen to see her being tortured beyond recognition by the disease. So she asked her mother's relatives to take her away, and entrusted Yi Jingchen to the care of the nanny.
Before leaving, grandma gently stroked Yi Jingchen's hair.
"Xiaochen, I'm sorry, but grandma can only accompany you up to this point."
"Don't worry about me too much, and don't be too obsessed with this time."
"Your tragedy is caused by my tragedy. If I had walked out bravely, there would be no mother, and even less you."
"Please see the world for me. There will definitely be many people who love you in the future."
Yi Jingchen withdrew his thoughts and looked at the photo in front of him again.
The man pushed the wishing card over and whispered to Yi Jingchen, "Before her great aunt died, she asked us to help her see how you look like when you grow up."
As he spoke, he looked up at Yi Jingchen, then turned back to look at the many people behind him who came for him.
"She must be very pleased to know that you are liked by many people."
"Hmm." Yi Jingchen sniffed, picked up the pen and wrote 'TO Yi Huizhen', then solemnly signed his name.
He turned the photo over and wrote two words neatly:
'Another spring has arrived and I am doing well.'
'I don't worry about you, and you don't have to worry about me.'
"Thank you. Please bring it to grandma for me."
Yi Jingchen handed him the photo.
——Yi Jingchen is educated and is a staunch atheist.
However, he was in awe of the so-called 'souls'.
Because he is willing to believe that reincarnation really exists in the world.
It can allow those unfortunate people to have a free afterlife.
"Okay." The man put away the photo, stood up and said to him, "I won't come to you again until you want to see us."
'We' refers to Yi Jingchen's maternal relatives.
Yi Jingchen was abandoned by his mother as soon as he was born.
In the past twenty years, he has had no contact with any relatives on his mother's side except his grandmother.
"good."
Yi Jingchen responded, putting away all his vulnerability.
[I can’t be emo anymore, I promise everyone I will be happy every day!]
The program team did not record the audio of the 1v1 handshake process.
The audience at the scene and in the live broadcast room could only see Yi Jingchen facing a man, but had no idea what they talked about.
After the man left, Yi Jingchen came to the long table and prepared to take his leave, his eyes visibly red.
【Why is the stupid Xiaochen crying? 】
[Maybe like Shu Lang, he is not used to wearing colored contact lenses]
[Shu Lang wore it for the first time, so he was not used to it. Yi Jingchen had worn it many times before, and he put it on in three seconds just now]
[Is it because it’s about to end and you can’t bear to let it go? ]
[It's just a handshake meeting, why would you be reluctant? We'll have another chance to meet next time.]
[I feel like it should be the eldest brother who signed last, who said something to Chenchen]
[+1, the last guy doesn't look like a Chen family fan, nor does he look like a cat fan. It's too inappropriate for him to appear at the handshake meeting]
[What can you say to make Chenchen cry? Is the second dimension going to be destroyed? ]
Yi Jingchen deserves to be called a "natural idol" and has excellent adjustment ability.
At the curtain call, he once again served as a spokesperson, thanking all the supporters who had come from afar and those who had been watching in front of the screen for their care along the way, and bowed with everyone.
From beginning to end, the performance was perfect and there was nothing unusual to be seen.
But on the return bus, Yi Jingchen huddled in a corner, closed his eyes and said nothing.
When the trainees saw him like this, they guessed that Yi Jingchen might be worried about something and did not go up to disturb him.
The friends were a little curious about what was bothering the stupid silver tabby so much.
Just when everyone was worried, they heard Yi Jingchen's mumbling.
He hugged the pillow in the car, rubbed it twice in a daze, and made a smacking sound.
[All right. ]
The extremely worried friends came to a common conclusion.
[This stupid cat was just sleeping.]
After a good sleep in the car, Yi Jingchen returned to the dormitory, removed his makeup, changed back into training clothes, then sat cross-legged in front of the suitcase and took out his wallet.
There is a photo in the wallet compartment, showing a tall young boy catching butterflies in the yard with a homemade insect net.
The kind-faced old man sat under the eaves at the back, holding a half-knitted woolen hat in his hand, looking at him with loving eyes.
Yi Jingchen looked at the yellowed photo and murmured softly:
"Grandma, I really took good care of myself."
"Don't worry about me all the time!"
He put the photo back again and put his wallet back in his pocket.
When he looked up, he found Mu Gan leaning against the door, staring at him quietly.
"Nana, is there something wrong?" Yi Jingchen asked as he stood up.
Mu Gan poked the air outside twice with his thumb, motioning him to go outside.
"The third-stage mentor is here, and the staff asked us to go to a meeting."
"So fast?" Yi Jingchen couldn't help but wonder.
[I just heard yesterday that because Teacher Gu couldn’t buy a direct flight back home, he had to take the green train first and then transfer to the high-speed train, and he could only return to the recording base tomorrow.]
[Where does the new mentor live? I was able to buy a ticket so easily during the Spring Festival travel rush.]
[Could he be a pilot?]
Not only Yi Jingchen found it strange, other trainees also found it incredible when they heard that a new mentor had arrived at the recording base.
You know, if you dare to accept the notice of being a flying mentor of "Super Idol" at this juncture, you must at least be self-disciplined and abide by the law, and your family tree for three generations must be checked without any problems, which is even stricter than the political review.
Moreover, "Super Idol" invited the talented Yan Yu in the first stage, and the former top star He Yidong in the second stage.
The flight instructor of the third stage must be a big shot with high status.
Looking at the entertainment industry, it is impossible to find an artist who can pass the hellish background check and is qualified to become a mentor.
"Super Idol" sent out dozens of invitation notices, but no one dared to accept them.
In desperation, they had to expand their target to overseas markets.
Fortunately, "Super Idol" has no overseas broadcasting platform, and the reputation of a certain "human collapse appraiser" has not expanded to the international market.
Due to various reasons, it is difficult for domestic idols to open up overseas markets.
Most of the Chinese idols who are currently famous have green cards.
The overseas entertainment industry doesn’t even understand domestic idols, let alone domestic trainees?
"Super Idol" offered a high price and really found an internationally popular idol with unknown status to take up the notice.
Xaviera, an internationally famous white female idol.
She has never appeared in domestic variety shows or performances, but still has many fans and is affectionately called "Vivia" by everyone.
The marketing account just announced that Xaviera has taken on the notice of "Super Idol", and fans were very angry, saying with certainty that "Xaviera would never take on such a low-level variety show", "Hype, absolutely hype"!
Not long after, Vivia took a flight and landed at the international airport, and got into the car sent by the "Super Idol" program crew. The air seemed to be filled with crisp "pa, pa, pa" sounds!
Don't make the sound of slapping someone in the face too loud~
While Yi Jingchen was at the recording base, he was actually always thinking about his graduation thesis at University A.
Hearing that an international superstar was coming, his eyes lit up and he ran excitedly to the auditorium to check out the "fresh material".
As soon as I entered the auditorium, I saw a woman with golden brown hair, skin whiter than snow, and who looked to be in her twenties, communicating with the staff.
White people generally age faster than Asians, but Xaviera is a famous "ageless girl".
Even after debuting for fifteen years, she still has the appearance of a girlish idol.
At this moment, the 'girl idol' frowned, obviously a little angry, and said something to the staff in not very fluent English.
The staff also responded in English, gesticulating as he spoke, and was sweating profusely.
Yi Jingchen curiously leaned over and listened to the two of them talking at cross purposes, laughing until his stomach hurt.
Before participating in the draft, Yi Jingchen conducted several foreign interviews and summed up a truth:
Two people who speak fluent English, it was easy to communicate.
Two people who are not good at English can communicate easily through gestures.
But when two people with average English skills get together, the difficulty of communication is absolutely hellish.
They can describe common everyday items, such as power banks, as 'portable babies that interact with energy through wired connections'.
It just so happens that Xaviera and the staff member in charge of communication are two people with average English proficiency and a vocabulary that is both abundant and scarce.
Yi Jingchen listened to their irrelevant chatter for a long time and muttered in surprise:
[Wow~]
[It turns out that when foreigners are anxious, they will speak their native language.]
Fortunately, Yi Jingchen had planned to be an international journalist, and found time to learn several languages, so he could understand Xaviera's native language.
He poked the staff lady and told her, "The new instructor said that the trainee information card you gave her was in English and she couldn't understand it."
"This, this." The staff lady patted her chest and muttered in fear, "She kept waving the data card at me, and I thought she wanted to hit me with it."
"What?" Although Xaviera didn't understand, she felt like she was being scolded.
Yi Jingchen switched to her native language and told the other party fluently, "This is the Chinese language area, and Japanese communication is not supported."
Xaviera seemed to realize that Yi Jingchen could understand what she said, and asked him if he was the translator hired by the program team.
Yi Jingchen turned his head and told the staff, "The new instructor needs to find a translator."
"Well... we didn't expect Weiweiya to come so early. The translator we hired for her is still stuck at the Spring Festival travel rush." The staff grabbed Yi Jingchen's arm as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, "Since you can understand, please translate for him."
"Me."
Yi Jingchen was a little confused.
[The production team didn’t pay me for my translation.]
He changed his mind and thought that translating for his new mentor would be a good opportunity to collect materials.
So the beautiful cat's eyes turned twice and agreed smoothly.
Yi Jingchen brought a small stool over and sat next to Xaviera.
She finally met someone who could understand 'human language' and breathed a sigh of relief, mumbling to herself.
"Oh, I swear this is the first time I've attended such a terrible announcement. There was no simultaneous translation at the recording site. I've always heard that you are a country of etiquette. Is this how you treat guests?"
Yi Jingchen couldn't explain to a foreigner the horror of the Spring Festival travel rush. After all, it was difficult for foreigners to understand what it was like to be unable to buy tickets because of the large crowds.
"That was the program team's negligence. We will correct it later." Yi Jingchen directly put the blame on the program team.
Xaviera's complaints were responded to, and she thought she could get along well with Yi Jingchen, so she just let out all her pent-up emotions.
"The attitude of your show is very average. The information and photos they just gave me also look very average. If I were to choose from these people, I would throw them all into the trash. It is impossible for people of color to become excellent idols, let alone occupy the international market."
Hearing her words, whether intentional or unintentional, Yi Jingchen's smile faded for a second, and he kindly reminded her, "Please put away your racial prejudice."
Xaviera seemed to realize that she had spoken out of turn. She choked for a few seconds and stared at Yi Jingchen to make amends. "I was a little angry just now. I was just kidding. Actually, you look pretty good, an oriental doll."
"This joke is not funny, and I don't think you are complimenting me." Yi Jingchen's smile completely withered, exuding a sense of oppression that could not be ignored. "From a genetic point of view, white people are not more stable or noble than people of color. Until you show due respect, I will have a discriminatory attitude towards you."
"OK." Xaviera was in the wrong first, so he gave in and formally apologized to this country and the yellow race.
They used foreign languages throughout the broadcast and there were no subtitles in the live broadcast room.
The audience could only hear some chatter and see that the stupid Silver Gradient suddenly stopped smiling.
[Urgent! Where is my royal translator? ]
[Yi Jingchen is indeed a quasi-international journalist, his speaking ability is simply amazing. If he didn't pronounce the words clearly, I, a graduate of a professional language, wouldn't understand him.]
[There is a cut with translation on Weibo, you can go check it out]
[6 Ah, Yi Jingchen directly attacks the international superstar face to face]
[He dares to confront politicians who can interfere in military affairs. What do you think? ]
[What the melon god said is right. Some people have been kneeling for too long. What's wrong with people of color? Skin color is just due to different geographical distribution. If you ask me, the yellow people are distributed in the most livable areas and have the best genes.]
[Vivia's fans said that my little girl had no ill intentions, she was just in a new language environment and was a little anxious without a translator. She had previously expressed on social media that she liked our country very much and recognized our country's sovereignty and integrity.]
[I think it is understandable. After all, they are foreign artists. If there is no major principle problem, it is not considered a collapse. It is already difficult to invite mentors for "Super Idol"]
Considering that Xaviera apologized promptly and it was not easy for the program crew to hire a mentor, no one pursued her gaffe further.
The other trainees arrived one after another, and when they saw Xaviera in person, they all showed expressions of surprise and even excitement.
Unfortunately, there was a language barrier and Vivia could only understand "Ahhh".
After everyone was seated, the production team began to play the second performance of "Super Idol" with urgent subtitles, so that Xaviera could get a brief introduction to each trainee.
Before watching the feature film, Xaviera still had a prejudice in his heart: he thought that the idols from this country had never appeared on the international stage and must not be good enough.
With the attitude that she should take some responsibility since she had accepted the notice, Xaviera watched the performance carefully.
Yi Jingchen sat next to her and gave her a brief introduction to the background and the trainees who appeared.
As she watched, her emotions and anticipation grew higher and higher, and she was completely immersed in it.
"Wow! That performance was so exciting! There were a lot of things I liked!"
Xaviera pointed at someone in the center of the screen and asked Yi Jingchen for the third time, "Oriental Doll, is this you?"
"That man's name is Tian Xitu, the one behind you." Yi Jingchen brought Tian Xitu out and had a more real understanding of the extent of foreigners' face blindness.
[Do I look alike to Tian Xitu?]
[A cat and a rabbit are different species!]
Seeing that she wanted to make everyone on the screen push their heads to become her god pusher, Li Jibai couldn't bear it anymore and told Xaviera with the few words he had:
“He’s on stage nine.”
"Oh, the ninth one." Xaviera pointed to another trainee on the screen and asked Li Jibai, "Is that you?"
From the corner, a faint voice came, "That was me. I'm so sorry."
"Hahahaha!" Yi Jingchen lowered his head and laughed secretly.
[You had to stand up, now it’s okay.]
[Everyone she meets from now on will be like you~]
Li Jibai: ...
Senior, is this the time to play with memes?
Throughout the second half of the second public performance, Xaviera seemed to only be able to see two people, either Yi Jingchen or Li Jibai.
The trainees around him held back their laughter and dared not make a sound, for fear that they would become the third common face of Weixuan.
At first, the younger brother and the audience were faced with a new mentor who did not speak the language. Even though they knew the program team had their own difficulties, they still had complaints.
What can a new tutor teach them if they can’t even do basic communication?
Does it play a styling role?
Gradually, as the second public performances passed one by one, Xaviera has gotten into the state and probably adapted to the domestic idol stage.
Although she didn't understand most of the lyrics and could only roughly understand the meaning through translation and Yi Jingchen's introduction, it did not hinder her ability to perceive the song and dance.
In almost every stage, she can give some opinions and feelings from the perspective of a "current top idol".
Her approach to observing the stage is different from He Yidong's.
He Yidong is familiar with the draft and the domestic market and will tell them how to win the game.
Xaviera’s suggestions tell them more about how to break through, how to stand out on a multi-person stage, and how to break through the inherent pattern and step onto the biggest stage.
"Super Idol" has reached the third public performance stage, and most of the trainees can adapt to the audition stage.
Inviting Xaviera at this critical juncture is obviously a preparation for conquering the largest market after the draft.
Yi Jingchen translated Xaviera's views and told the corresponding trainees, and saw the fighting spirit in everyone's eyes.
Next, with the popularity of Xaviera, "Super Idol" may gain overseas attention, breaking the inherent pattern of "domestic idols have no international market".
What reason do they have not to fight?
Finally, the last stage was shown on the screen.
Xaviera counted to nine and said firmly, "Now it's your turn."
Yi Jingchen replied, "Yes."
"Which one is you?" Xaviera looked at the seven trainees preparing to go on stage, and his face blindness struck again.
Yi Jingchen didn't point it out to her, but motioned Vivian to look for herself.
"Oh no, I really can't tell." Vivian was originally face-blind to foreigners, and Yi Jingchen was wearing stage makeup.
His face is very plastic, and there is a big difference between his bare face and his face with makeup. Even cat fans may not be able to recognize him.
Vivian stared at him for a long time, until Yi Jingchen started singing, she confirmed, "This!"
"Is my voice so obvious?"
"It's not your voice. You have a unique aura that makes people want to look at you." Xaviera stared at the person on the screen, then looked at Yi Jingchen who was sitting next to her. "It's really hard to recognize you by looking at your face."
Yi Jingchen smiled and said nothing.
Next, the original V/D group members appeared one after another, and the translated lyrics appeared on the screen.
Vivian still didn't understand, but she was drawn into their singing and felt what they were trying to convey.
"I must admit that it is an excellent stage. You, and each of you, are beyond my imagination." At this point, Xaviera changed the subject, "However, you are still a long way from becoming idols who lead the times."
"Leading the times..."
Someone beeped quietly.
"That dream is too grand, are we worthy of it?"
They are already exhausted from fighting for the debut position.
[Leading the times! ]
Everyone beeped with excitement when they heard the inappropriate sound.
[Sounds so cheesy, I like it!]
In a blink of an eye, everyone's eyes turned to Yi Jingchen.
This cat's chuunibyou is truly hopeless.
.
After the meeting, the production team arranged for Xaviera to return to the hotel to rest.
Considering that Xaviera had just arrived and was unfamiliar with the place, and the translator she hired was stuck at the Spring Festival travel rush, they simply asked Yi Jingchen to take her to the hotel and asked two photographers to follow her throughout the trip.
The hotel where Xaviera stayed was located near the recording base.
The recording base is located in a remote area, with no scenic spots or downtown areas around it, and only a few seasonal hotels prepared for fans and related personnel.
In order to control costs, the owner of a nearby restaurant did not rent a shop. Instead, he pushed a cart in the cold wind and set up a stall on the roadside.
As soon as Yi Jingchen and Xaviera walked out of the recording base, they smelled the scent of roadside stalls brought by the night breeze.
Although it was Xaviera's first time in this country, she already knew that Chinese food and snacks were very famous, and she couldn't wait to try them.
Yi Jingchen was busy with the handshake meeting during the day and had to serve as an interpreter for his mentor at night. He was already hungry, so he went to a roadside stall with Xaviera to eat.
The two of them seemed to have never eaten in their entire lives. The table was filled with fried skewers, barbecue, and spicy hot pot. Xaviera even plucked up the courage to order a small portion of stinky tofu, and took a bite of it with the mentality of Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs.
"Delicious! These are delicious. I've never eaten anything as stinky as this before."
Yi Jingchen asked while chewing on a chicken claw, "Have you never eaten canned herrings?"
"They're the only ones who like canned herrings. We can't stand it."
Yi Jingchen continued the interview, "Have you ever tried Stargazing Pie?"
"What is that?"
“An urban legend from the British Empire.”
[Chenchen, why is your mind full of dark food? ]
[Is the fish head looking up at the starry sky the one who died with his eyes open? 】
[Both dishes are fish dishes. I bet a cat strip that Yi Jingchen has definitely eaten it! Cats love to eat fish! ]
[Who said that? My silver tabby smelled canned herring and thought my manure pit had exploded, so he tried his best to bury the shit]
The two of them sat together, happily discussing "food", and almost became good friends across borders.
Just at this moment, two men with aggressive looks came from a distance.
When Xaviera saw them, her smile instantly faded and she frowned slightly, seeming unhappy.
She didn't say anything and urged Yi Jingchen to eat quickly.
Before they finished eating, two men had already arrived and scolded Xaviera in their native language for not returning to the hotel.
Xaviera: "I'm hungry. I need to eat."
"No matter how hungry you are, you can't eat outside. The team has hired a nutritionist for you. You must follow the diet they give you to stay in shape." The man, who was probably the agent, glanced at the food on the table with disdain. "You consume so much oil and fat. You must lose weight for the next half month."
Yi Jingchen held a roasted chicken claw in his mouth and secretly complained:
[Eating a night market meal can help you lose weight in half a month?]
[You are murdering me!]
Xaviera team members heard the beeping sound and looked around.
Because I couldn't understand what it was and couldn't find the source of the sound, I thought it was a wild cat from somewhere.
Xaviera was still arguing, saying that Yi Jingchen specially sent her back, and she should treat him to a meal.
The work team looked at Yi Jingchen with disdain, "I reminded you not to get too close to the people here, they are all people of color."
"……?"
Yi Jingchen seemed to understand why Xaviera had blurted out the theory of "people of color" before.
What's wrong with people of color?
[Can we dye them together? Dye them into a calico cat?]
The audience who were watching the live broadcast late at night were furious because of the "color discrimination theory".
And because of Yi Jingchen's "Dyeing into Three Flowers", she completely lost her temper.
——You are a stupid silver tabby cat, don’t mess with the beauty in the porcelain cat world!!!
Xaviera was still protesting, but the work team acted as if it was all for your own good, and condescendingly criticized:
"We didn't support you taking on this cheap show in the first place. Coming to a developing country with such a low per capita GDP will only lower your value."
