Chapter 88
It is difficult to describe the atmosphere at the scene after the red-haired man said that.
Quiet but eerily quiet.
Everyone was frozen in place like stone statues, no matter if it was the short male student or the bald athlete, even the white-collar worker who had just spoken was frozen there.
The red-haired man was the only one in the audience laughing happily.
Although there was a wound on the corner of his mouth, his expression was quite relaxed, as if he was not the one who announced his identity as a criminal suspect.
At this time, the entire barrage had exploded.
"Not a buddy??? Huh???"
"You are such a rich man, but you come here to be on a dating show??? Are you bored with the life of a rich man???"
"The one in front, he shouldn't be here just because he's bored - what the hell!"
Along with these surprised voices, many people in the barrage began to wonder what was wrong with this name?
"I'll give some general information to the people on the screen. The Aldrin family is a business family that has been passed down for generations abroad. They are involved in arms, oil, and other businesses. They originally only operated in Old Europe, but in recent generations they have gradually shifted their focus to our side."
"But I don't know if this generation has some bad luck, everyone went to jail, except for Chris Aldrin - although he also successfully sent himself to jail for 48 hours some time ago, in the case of the rich man kidnapping."
After the popular science, the barrage of comments also reacted, and then a burst of wocwoc sounds rang out.
Some people couldn't believe that this guy, who wore a big baseball jacket and sneakers and looked like the most common school bully in campus dramas, was actually a rich man.
Feng Chuan was no exception. Looking at Aldrin in the live broadcast room, he subconsciously turned on the screen recording, fearing that the entire live broadcast room would be suspended in the next second because of broadcasting illegal and criminal persons.
The barrage also worried about this.
"Wait, why is he here? And he has imprisoned someone before, right? So it seems that what he said about liking Mr. Ye and forcibly kissing Mr. Ye was just an act?"
"No, no, no, don't forget that he came from a free country. Imprisoning that person and kissing Mr. Ye might be two completely different things in his eyes."
"But I feel really uncomfortable. Now I feel that although this guy is still good-looking, he is full of the aura of a scumbag."
At this time, the host, who had been silent for a long time, finally reacted. He lamented in his heart why he had been asked to host the show with the amateur guest today, while he tried to save the situation with a smile on his face.
"Ah, Mr. Chris, I think the fact that you can appear in front of the camera openly means that you have been found not guilty, right?"
Although it was a bit presumptuous, the host asked this question that would determine the fate of the live broadcast room at the first opportunity.
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to get a visa. In fact, the original incident was just a misunderstanding."
The red-haired man said with a nonchalant smile.
The barrage's impression of him was even worse now, and people on the barrage looked at him as if he were some kind of class enemy.
And with their understanding of that free country, they naturally began to speculate about whether the victim was willing to settle and have this man released, how much money he had spent, and how they hired a lawyer to make it difficult for the poor victim to speak.
The host’s skills were not good enough and it showed a little in the end.
Fortunately, the red-haired man was not angry. He just shrugged indifferently and then turned to look at the handsome young man on the other side and said with a smile.
"Sweetheart, please say something."
The rippling tone made it seem as if a little love heart floated at the end of the words.
“…”
The scene fell silent again. No matter whether it was the host or the audience on the barrage, their eyes were darting back and forth between the two of them, as if it was incredible.
And this kind of look made the handsome young man seem to finally be unable to bear it. He clenched his mobile phone, making it ring loudly. Finally, as if he could no longer bear it, he was finally willing to look the red-haired man in the eye and said.
"Where did you learn such words? And don't push your luck!"
However, the handsome young man's evil tone did not make the red-haired man retreat. On the contrary, he became even more excited. He raised the corners of his mouth even more, like a lion that had received a reward.
"Sweetheart, your indifference is just as cold as before, and it really breaks my heart - just like my identity documents that were torn up and spread all over the ground."
The man was clearly speaking pathetically, but his tone was filled with excitement.
Fortunately, the handsome young man still remembered that this was a live broadcast and did not say any words that would get the live broadcast room banned, but it was still enough to make people scared.
"——I should have made your heart bleed!"
The young man said with complete disgust.
This time the barrage could no longer be held back.
"Ah??? So the victim was sitting across from him, no wonder he was so confident in saying it was a misunderstanding? It turned out to be a romantic interest between a young couple."
"No, no, no, they are probably not a couple. Mr. Ye said before that she is a widow and has a good relationship with her husband."
"Even after playing this kind of game, you are still not a couple."
"I mean uh, friend."
"Your friend can make one of them look like he wants the other to die on the spot? This is not robbery!"
The barrage was suddenly filled with messages hoping that the program crew would call the police.
Of course, there are also some indecent comments.
"...Although, I'm sorry, the widow who was taken away by force smells really good."
"Wait for me, the guy in front, I've already gone to the master bedroom to play with my brain. It's really not my fault, it was my brain that came out!"
Just as the comments were in chaos, the red-haired man ignored the disgusted expression on the handsome young man's face, and said to the young man with a smile.
"Oh, really? Honey, if you're really willing..."
The red-haired man motioned the young man in front of him to look down at his phone.
"——Your cell phone is in your hand, why don't you call 110?"
The original questioning voices in the barrage also paused, and the audience was full of doubts.
The handsome young man's eyes wandered in front of millions of viewers in the live broadcast room.
Although he quickly firmed his gaze, this scene had already been captured into an animated GIF by netizens with extremely fast hands.
However, the handsome young man didn't know this. He even took a deep breath and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the red-haired man.
"Sweetheart, don't talk about the project. When did you take a small project worth a few million seriously? Besides, even if you lose money, you won't lose much."
The red-haired man tapped the sofa again and again, looking at Ye Wangxing on the armrest. His expression was still cynical, but his golden eyes were staring at the handsome young man like a giant dragon.
The handsome young man remained silent for a long time and ultimately did nothing.
The red-haired man finally smiled sincerely at the scene and said.
"Oh sweetheart, you can't bear to leave."
The barrage has completely crashed.
The internet trolls who originally said that it was a script now dare not move their comments.
Let’s not talk about which script can make foreign tycoons cooperate with them to perform - just the plot is so dramatic, if they wrote it into the script, the domestic entertainment industry would not be like this!
Later, some curious people did some counting and found that they had reversed four or five times in just over an hour.
The director is both happy and sad. She is happy because she doesn't have to worry about the ratings anymore, but she is sad because her romance show might become a playground for these two people.
——After all, who would watch other people’s love life when these two gossip sources are standing by?
Fortunately, the ratings helped the director to quickly calm down and he asked the host to say something to lighten the mood.
Host: ...Even cows and horses wouldn’t be used like this!
But what can the host do? The host can only swallow the bitterness in his heart and beat the director 800 times in his mind, hoping that he will be stuck in traffic when he goes out, someone will occupy the elevator when he goes home, and he will always run into the late delivery man.
After all this, the host finally felt relieved, but he still forced a smile and walked in front of all the guests to start the process, asking them all to sit in the business car.
"...Next, I will lead you to play a small ice-breaking game, and I hope you can create sparks of affection during the game."
After the host left the audience in suspense halfway through his speech, he asked the director to cut the live broadcast back to the observation room to prevent the audience from getting bored watching these people riding in the car.
——Anyway, if there are any interesting scenes, you can just switch back to the live broadcast room.
However, when the screen of the live broadcast room switched back to the observation room, before the barrage could express any opinions on the observing guests, they were suddenly startled by a dark face.
"What happened to Shi Xuanzhu's husband? Why is his face so dark? Did he cheat on her when we weren't seeing?"
The commentators below thought of a reason and spoke up quickly.
"I guess you came in halfway. I don't know what our pretty widow said before - that pretty widow is Shi Xuanzhu's brother-in-law, that is, his partner's younger brother, the kind who came from the same mother's womb. Now you understand why he has such a gloomy face, right?"
The previous comment: "...I understand."
"No wonder he looks so gloomy. He just witnessed his brother being forcefully kissed, and he also witnessed his brother defending the red-haired guy."
"No, when did the widow defend that red-haired guy? Didn't he just remain silent?"
"Come on, if this kind of thing is reported to the police, the on-site video footage can be used as evidence, but this person didn't even make a phone call, even if it was because of the project. Mr. Widow must have complicated feelings for Red Hair."
The comments were chatting, and the topic gradually deviated as the host spoke clichés, but it still fit the theme of the romance variety show.
"…But if that's the case, the couple that will definitely be together in this love story should be Red Hair and Mr. Widow, right?"
"I don't know. It seems like the widow has a really good relationship with her husband. Even if she has some feelings for the red-haired girl, six months won't be enough for her to get over it."
"To put it simply, the initiative of this team should be in the hands of Mr. Widow, right?"
"Otherwise, Red Hair may seem to have Mr. Widow under his thumb, but in reality, all Mr. Widow needs to do is press the police on his cell phone and he'll be finished."
The barrage was full of heated discussions about this matter, but some other people and internet trolls wanted them to transfer the attention back to the guests in the observation room.
But unfortunately, the gossip this time was so attractive that those internet army didn’t cause any trouble at all - all the audience were discussing the live broadcast accident and gossip, and they could completely filter out the comments that mentioned other people at this time as background.
However, the discussion in the barrage has been very heated, and even if the number of viewers in the live broadcast room decreased, the number did not drop much, which made the director very satisfied.
Ye Wangxing was also very satisfied.
He seemed to be closing his eyes and staying away from the red-haired man, but in fact the two of them were having a pleasant conversation in his mind.
[This time the effect is very good. Not many people are discussing Song Yun. Even if there are, it is only because of my brother's identity. They all expressed sympathy and understanding for him because Song Yun saw his brother being killed by the red-haired man.]
Ye Wangxing said as he laughed so hard that he fell backwards.
Yijiu, who was standing aside, once again carefully protected his host from sliding down, while also monitoring the barrage of comments and judging the reactions of the audience on the comments to his host.
[This is much better than the original plot.] Ye Wangxing smiled and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, sat down again, and said to the panel in front of Yijiu.
In the original novel, Song Yun encountered some problems when she first appeared on a variety show, but she adjusted quickly. Unfortunately, some people on the Internet just like to criticize others for fun, especially the weak, so Song Yun did not have an easy time at this stage in the original novel.
His mental pressure gradually increased. Even though the cyberbullies gradually subsided because Song Yun did not respond, his mental state could not return to what it was before. At this time, Shi Xuanzhu's views on marriage and love in the variety show gradually aggravated his condition.
But fortunately, these will not happen now.
Ye Wangxing thought with a smile, then he sorted out the situation and began to ask about Yijiu's current situation.
[Currently, the Internet's attention is on you and Chris. They are very interested in the emotional entanglement between the two, and some people have begun to create fan fiction. However, they are only active in a small circle. Do we need to block all their works, host? ]
Ye Wangxing, who just wanted to know whether the current attention on the Internet was on their side, suddenly remembered the afternoon when the door to a new world was opened to him because of his curiosity.
Ye Wangxing felt numb all over when he thought about those words being used on him.
[…If it’s used commercially, report it. As for the rest,] Ye Wangxing swallowed hard and said, [When I don’t know, Yijiu, block all these works and other related things from my phone and social media.]
A stream of data flashed across Yijiu's eyes, and he nodded and said, "Okay, the host has blocked all those works and tags from your phone, and they will not appear in your big data push."
Ye Wangxing breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and continued to observe the situation in the observation room.
He didn't notice a problem.
——If Yijiu blocked those things, does it prove that he has seen them?
Next to Ye Wangxing, a two-meter-tall silver-haired man sat on the sofa, with streams of data constantly flashing in his golden eyes.
Although I have seen most of these routines, Yijiu still thinks that the person who can create these words is quite amazing.
——How on earth did they come up with these postures and such intense emotions?
Ye Wangxing had no idea what was going on in Yijiu's mechanical brain. He was still frowning as he looked at the situation in the observation room.
Although everyone in the comments was talking about their own things, as time went by and there was no new big news to fill the gap, the comments couldn't help but talk about the guests this time. Fortunately, they had missed Song Yun's nervous period - or it could be said that Song Yun was not nervous at all this time.
If anyone is nervous and sees his younger brother who just returned home being picked up by a red-haired guy, the nervousness in his heart will turn into anger!
So among the guests who were optimistic about Ye Wangxing and Chris, Song Yun's whiteboard with the words "I don't know" written on it was extremely conspicuous.
Fortunately, both the barrage and the on-site guest hosts were very satisfied with the show’s effect. Even Song Yun’s dark face could not hide the smiles on their faces.
“…Brother Song, we understand you, but allow us to laugh for a few minutes first, hahahaha!”
The actress laughed quite heartily, and her exaggerated expression actually refuted the rumors that she had plastic surgery.
——Who who has had plastic surgery would laugh so loudly that it almost dislocates the jaw?
On the contrary, the top star on the side was smiling with an awkward expression. The agent and the singer were both laughing non-stop. As for the veteran actor couple, only the wife was laughing non-stop, while the husband was frowning and staring at the TV above.
Specifically, stare at the red-haired guy.
Fortunately, Shi Xuanzhu did not laugh. Instead, while the barrage was laughing, he took the time to praise him for being a good husband all his life. At least he did not mean to laugh at his partner.
Then he happily typed "Hahahahahahahahaha" on the barrage.
"...Ahem, so Mr. Song is against this matter because of his brotherly relationship with Mr. Ye?"
The host asked with a smile, but Song Yun could tell that this was an obvious trap.
He shook his head, put away his gloomy expression, and spoke calmly.
"That's just one of the reasons. Another reason is that Ye Wangxing's dislike for him is very real. It's not just some kind of romantic interest. As his brother, I'm sure of that. But no matter who he chooses to be with in the end, or whether he insists on being single to the end, I respect his opinion."
Song Yun said with a smile.
It’s a perfect family atmosphere, which made people on the comment board feel envious.
The guests also nodded and applauded, and the atmosphere was quite peaceful.
——Until the husband in the old drama frowned and criticized.
"Xiao Song, I have to talk about you. Your brother has already divorced his husband. You should find him another one as soon as possible. It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl. Otherwise, it will be too late to have the first child..."
The husband, an old actor, continued speaking with a serious expression. His square face, like Shi Xuanzhu's, had the kind of didactic feeling that only middle-aged men have.
After all, he was a senior in the circle, so Song Yun didn't want to offend him. She just whispered back, "Well, senior, my brother is only 26 this year, and he doesn't like women."
"That's his problem. As his brother, you have to pay attention to it too."
The husband, an experienced actor, said with confidence that it was like every person who went home for the holidays saw elders urging them to get married.
"But that man is not good. He looks frivolous. Even if his family is rich, he will definitely cheat in the future. I am optimistic about the white-collar man. He has a stable income and it will be prestigious to tell others about it."
As he was talking, the veteran actor husband started commenting, and he didn't even notice that his wife was holding him by his side.
The barrage was also speechless, and people asked where this feudal old man came from. Then, when they looked at his age, they realized that he was indeed very feudal.
However, no one present paid any attention to the old actor's words. They just said "hmm" and "ah" and let the matter go. Suddenly, Shi Xuanzhu on the side spoke up.
"Teacher Liu is right. We should really pay more attention to this. But after all, we have to find someone who is a good match for us. We can just take our time."
Shi Xuanzhu's words made most of the commentators feel uncomfortable. Although they sounded polite, how could this be directly lowering one's status?
Although in the entertainment industry, they have to call them seniors, but in family life, they are just the bossy old men!
Song Yun also felt a little uncomfortable, but when he was about to say this, Shi Xuanzhu beside him stopped him.
When he heard someone talking to him, the old actor became even more excited and started to talk nonsense. Many people in the barrage thought that the old actor was similar to some of their annoying relatives.
But Shi Xuanzhu insisted on talking to this person until the amateurs came to the game site.
After seeing the large and small obstacles on the scene and the bright lights above, the amateur guests showed surprised expressions.
The handsome young man and the red-haired man seemed to be thinking about something.
"Okay, everyone, this is our game venue this time - real-life CS!"
After adding a few emphasises, the host quickly began to read out the rules for this time.
The barrage was quite normal at the beginning. I thought it was a good ice-breaking game, and it could even have a suspension bridge effect.
——Until a barrage appeared.
"...After all, it really makes you feel good when someone comes to save you in a critical moment."
"Yes, this will indeed make people feel good, but everyone, have you forgotten one thing?"
"——There are two people from free countries in this game!"
Just as the barrage of comments realized this, someone in the live broadcast room also reacted. The white-collar worker who had previously exposed Chris's identity whispered something to the host.
The host nodded in understanding, and then began to discuss with the director to temporarily cut off the microphone on the scene for five minutes.
And 5 minutes later, both the handsome young man and the red-haired man had one of their hands tied behind their backs.
This is also fair.
The director felt quite satisfied that he had found a balance for the game.
Ten minutes later.
Looking at the other six guests, three men and three women, who had already been wiped out, and the two people standing in the middle of the fallen crowd who could have wiped them out even with one hand behind their back.
Director: …What should she use to fill the next one-hour live broadcast time?
Just when the director was going crazy, the barrage was full of screams. There was no way, it was too handsome! The two didn't even exchange a word, they just looked at each other and solved the other guests.
Even the position of the headset was perfect! They could even hear the two people's heavy breathing.
Just as the barrage of comments was screaming, sound finally came from the headsets belonging to the two people in the live broadcast room.
“Well done.”
The cold and panting sound immediately made a group of people smile strangely.
"It's not easy to get a compliment from you, sweetheart~"
The red-haired man's voice was as frivolous as ever, and he was only breathing slightly - he even managed to smile and tease the widow in front of him.
But the playful smile on his face did not last long.
Because the handsome young man was walking towards him with a gun, the red-haired man looked at him in a daze, not knowing what to do, but the smile on his face was still maintained.
He could only see the handsome man approach him, then lower his head, take his large, half-gloved hand and raise it up.
“Pah.”
The handsome young man high-fived him.
"It's a pleasure to work with you." The young man said with a rare smile.
The sound of the high five was very light, much lighter than the slap on the red-haired man's face.
But the red-haired man's reaction was much more violent than the slap.
——The tall and strong man suddenly squatted down and covered his face.
The cameraman subconsciously lowered the camera, and the next second the audience in the live broadcast room saw the reddish skin revealed between the red-haired man's fingers.
Barrage: ...
"——No, big brother, you're a maniac who comes up and forcefully kisses me. You blush like a bubble teapot when I high-five you!"
