Chapter 33 Young Master vs. Get Lost "Who in the world doesn't want to beat up scumbags..."
Jiang Hengchuan's face had turned a deep purplish-red, every vein throbbing beneath the skin of his neck, his breathing heavy like that of an enraged bull. He suddenly raised his arm and lunged at Tao Miller:
"You fucking dare to cheat on me? Great, that's great! I'm not even enough to satisfy you! You're such a bastard!!!"
Terrified, Taumiller screamed and covered his head as he fled, his face as white as paper. Tears instantly streamed down his pitiful little face as he trembled and begged for mercy.
"Honey, I'm so sorry! I really didn't mean it! I had my reasons! Please believe me, honey! You know I love you the most!"
Upon hearing his affected voice, Jiang Hengchuan's chest heaved even more violently, his eyes turning bloodshot as if spitting fire: "Don't you fucking call me husband! How many husbands do you have outside?! You fucking tell me if you dare!!!"
[Hahahaha, help! I'm laughing so hard I can't stop! What the hell is this "How many husbands do you have?" question?! You're so self-aware!]
Haha! You didn't expect that, did you? You're just one of your baby's many husbands! (doge)
[This issue's key quote has been generated √]
[Don't forget our MVP, "Big" Teacher!]
Enough... I really don't want to see that word anymore! My smile muscles have had a good workout today!
Jiang Hengchuan and Tao Miller started circling around the round table.
The other guests, surrounded in the middle, were stunned and tried to shrink their necks to minimize their presence.
Surprisingly, despite his small stature, Taumiller is quite fast.
Jiang Hengchuan circled around several times but still couldn't catch him. He was so angry that he jumped onto the table and tried to climb to the other side to grab him.
The cardboard box on the table was kicked over, the cards were scattered all over the floor, and the wine bottle was knocked over, spilling all the wine.
The guests scattered in alarm, but their eyes remained fixed on the two people for a single second.
Wen Yinhe reacted quickly, pulling Lu Huaijin aside and instinctively shielding him from the splashing wine.
Luckily, his clothes were black, so you couldn't see them even if they got dirty.
The entire recording site instantly descended into chaos.
[What a magnificent display of circling the pillar! If I were there, I'd probably circle around it several times!]
[Haha! The scene is in complete chaos, everyone hurry up and drink it while it's hot!]
Wait, wait a minute, it just dawned on me... so they... cheated on each other??
[Hmm... how can this not be considered a two-way journey? Everyone knows the Earth is round, so can't you still journey in opposite directions? (I'm such a clever little devil!)]
[A pure love couple is a couple, so why isn't a Cowboy/Girl couple a couple?! I suggest they just lock each other in! I think they're quite well-matched; even their cheating happened at the same time!]
[Lying on the same bed, back to back, texting your husband and baby, huh? Hahahaha]
The situation had spiraled out of control at this point.
The production crew had to step in and separate Jiang Hengchuan and Tao Miller, taking them downstairs to comfort them individually before they disappeared from sight.
Other staff quickly cleaned up the messy table, rearranged the cardboard boxes, and served fresh drinks and clean glasses.
The Heavenly Sound also appeared shortly afterward:
"Dear guests, we are very sorry, but due to some well-known unforeseen circumstances, guests Jiang Hengchuan and Tao Miller will be temporarily unable to continue recording the game segment. They need to go back to their rooms to rest. They may be back soon, or we may not see them for the rest of the game. If they do not return before the next round, they will be automatically judged as the last place in this game."
"The remaining guests can now continue the game. Good luck! We hope everyone can survive at this table until the very last moment of the game!"
The viewers in the live chat were practically laughing their heads off.
[This show really deserves to be famous! Other shows have one memorable moment per season, you have 100 memorable moments per episode!]
[The Best Actor and CEO Lu are so sweet and adorable! The other guests are full of juicy gossip! There's sweetness and drama, pure love and humor, satisfying the diverse needs of our viewers!]
[No, isn't the funniest part that the cameras in the rich kid and the internet celebrity's room were still recording? Even though they left this game, they didn't leave the whole show! Quick! Everyone should start a split-screen live stream, I'm almost dying of laughter from their conversation, hahaha!]
[Am I just imagining things? I get the feeling there's a hint of regret on the guests' faces, like they can't keep up the fun anymore?]
I don't know about others, but Mr. Lu is really disappointed, hahaha.
Lu Huaijin asked a staff member for a wet wipe, then grabbed Wen Yinhe's shirt collar, buried his head and squinted, looking for stains in the light for a long time before wiping them vigorously.
He paused, then clicked his tongue in amazement: "Why don't the production team move a TV outside, so we can watch the live broadcast and continue chatting?"
The other guests' eyes lit up, and they actually turned their gaze to the production crew in the darkness. It seemed that no one had any objection to Lu Huaijin's suggestion.
At this moment, no one had any interest in the game; all they wanted was to watch the drama unfold.
[The way CEO Lu wiped the movie star's clothes is so reminiscent of how my mom wipes my clothes when I accidentally spill toothpaste on myself while brushing my teeth this morning, hahaha! Is this what they call an old married couple?]
"Huaijin, stop fooling around." Wen Yinhe couldn't help but chuckle as he touched Lu Huaijin's face. After Lu Huaijin finished wiping and got up, he naturally grabbed Lu Huaijin's hand and used another clean wet tissue to wipe his hand.
After doing all this, Wen Yinhe looked up at Xiao Ye and asked slowly, "Shouldn't the next one be Mr. Xiao?"
"Ah, right, it's us." Xiao smacked his lips with lingering satisfaction, clearly still wanting more.
But the game must go on.
Xiao had no choice but to reach into the truth-or-dare box, pull out a card, and see that it clearly stated—
Please tell me three things you've hidden from your partner.
Xiao was stunned for a moment, then seemed to be deep in thought.
Zheng Shuming's facial expressions were clearly well-managed; at least on the surface, there was not a single flaw to be found.
After a long pause, Xiao calmly replied, "Then I'll answer first. My shoe size is 41.5, my favorite movie genre is suspense, and my least favorite smell is the smell of smoke."
Wen Yinhe was stunned for a moment, and realizing that this was blatant sarcasm, he couldn't help but cover his mouth to hide his laughter.
The three things Xiao mentioned were none other than the questions Zheng Shuming couldn't answer in the first "Test of Understanding" game.
Huai Jin is right, this young master is indeed quite interesting.
The viewers in the live chat were also laughing:
[Hahaha, young master is so mean! He holds a grudge!]
Zheng Shuming's face stiffened, then he gave a helpless bitter smile, shaking his head as if he couldn't do anything about Xiao.
“Shuming, it’s your turn to answer now,” Xiao Ye’s voice was calm and natural, but his beautiful peach blossom eyes couldn’t help but reveal a hint of sharpness and scrutiny as he stared intently at Zheng Shuming. “You shouldn’t be hiding anything from me, right?”
“I…” Zheng Shuming smiled and gently embraced Xiao Ye, lowering his head to kiss the young man’s hair, the curve of his lips as tender and affectionate as ever, “I do have something I’ve been hiding from you.”
Xiao raised an eyebrow and looked at him calmly.
“Baby, is your birthday coming up soon?” Zheng Shuming released one arm, took Xiao Ye’s hand, and kissed it tenderly. “I didn’t want to tell you in advance, but it seems I have to now. I’m secretly preparing a gift for you, and I hope it will be a surprise.”
"Oh, thank you then," Xiao nodded calmly, indicating that he understood, and then asked, "What about the other two?"
Zheng Shuming's smile froze slightly: "What?"
Xiao frowned, picked up the card, pointed to the Chinese characters on it, and said seriously, "The card says you have to say three things. You've only said one. You have to say two more."
Wen Yinhe almost burst out laughing, and quickly grabbed Lu Huaijin's hand to help him hold it in.
Lu Huaijin was even more direct, and with a thud, he almost fell on Wen Yinhe.
Xiao couldn't help but steal a glance at them, his face full of innocence and confusion, clearly not understanding what they were laughing at.
[Hahahaha, trying to fool us? No way! The CPU's fried now!]
[Oh, thank you! Hahaha, young master, you seem like a bot!]
[Suddenly, I feel that the young master seems more perceptive than when the show first started, and not so easily fooled. Is it because he's been influenced by the movie star and President Lu these past few days?]
[There's no way around it, anyone who has such a loving couple as a role model will inevitably start to re-examine their own relationships. If they really do divorce in the end, the movie star and CEO Lu will have to take half the blame (doge)]
Zheng Shuming met Xiao Ye's calm and clear gaze, and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily. Delaying would only deepen the other party's suspicion, so he decisively raised his hand and said, "I'm sorry, apart from this, I really have nothing to hide from Xiao Ye. I can't answer, so I choose truth or dare."
Everyone has seen what happened to Jiang Hengchuan and Tao Miller.
But Zheng Shuming had no third option, and he felt his luck couldn't be that bad...
However, the next moment, he pulled out the card—
[Please make a video call to your closest friend (excluding your partner) and say the following lines: "I've really had enough of him! I've been putting up with him for so many years of marriage, and now I really can't take it anymore! With his temper and personality, I don't know who in this world can tolerate him. Living with him is torture!"]
Zheng Shuming almost couldn't keep up the smile on his face. His fingers tightened around the piece of paper, and his heart started beating faster involuntarily.
He silently comforted himself, at least this dare wasn't as terrible as the previous one, and it wasn't impossible to make up for it.
Xiao glanced at Zheng Shuming's slightly pale fingertips, paused for a moment, and then stepped forward, saying, "Then I'll go first."
The production team brought him a phone, and Xiao took it without hesitation and opened the chat app. The top contact was "A-Ming," which was obviously Zheng Shuming. The other contact was a period without any notes, and the profile picture was completely black, which looked particularly pretentious.
Without hesitation, Xiao opened the chat box of that "full stop" and made a video call in front of millions of viewers.
The other end answered after a while.
The image shows a strikingly handsome man with captivating eyes just like Xiao Ye's. He has dark eyebrows, a straight nose, and thin, well-defined lips, which softens his overly striking features and makes him appear sharp and imposing.
The man was dressed in dark loungewear, and the background was a study where he was probably working on a computer. When he met Xiao's bewildered blinking eyes, his sharp features softened instantly, and his deep voice naturally conveyed closeness and affection.
"Huh? Why are you calling me so late? Weren't you still recording a show? Did you sneak out to play on your phone?"
[Ahhhhh I can't even comment! He's seriously handsome!!!]
[Wow! This is practically a mature version of the young master! Could he be the legendary eldest young master?!]
Sure enough, Xiao immediately called out, "Brother..."
He couldn't remember the lines, so he held his phone in one hand and the card in the other, glancing down at the screen repeatedly, and read them aloud word for word.
All I can say is that there was neither skill nor emotion involved.
Xiao Jue paused slightly after listening, then put down his work and looked at Xiao Ye with deep eyes: "Xiao Ye, are you serious?"
Xiao touched his nose and made two guilty "mmm" sounds.
Xiao Jue raised an eyebrow slightly, but did not expose him. He continued Xiao Ye's lines in a slow and unhurried manner: "After all these years, you have finally come to your senses. To be honest, my parents and I have always felt that Zheng Shuming is not a good person, but we couldn't stop you from liking him, so we could only keep an eye on him for you in private. Although we have raised him for so many years, you are our forever treasure."
"We can tolerate him because you like him, but if you don't like him anymore, you don't need to worry at all. However, I'm very happy to hear you say that, because I've also tolerated him for a long time, just like you."
Zheng Shuming's expression had completely broken down; his face alternated between black and white, and his jaw trembled slightly, as if he was about to grind his teeth to pieces. His appearance was quite a sight.
Xiao awkwardly clenched his toes and quickly clarified, "Brother, we were actually recording a show."
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jue calmly raised his eyes and said, "I know, I was just saying it to him."
He paused, then suddenly said cryptically, "So you're still supporting him, and everything you said earlier was a lie, right?"
Xiao Ye's mind had turned into a screaming chicken, and he really wanted to cover his head and run away.
"Heh," Xiao Jue sneered, then said no more, "Please say hello to President Lu and Mr. Wen for me, then hang up."
[Aaaaaaah! Oh my god! This guy is so handsome, I want to choose him!!!]
[Hahaha, I can't take it anymore! That last "heh" is killing me! This guy is a genius!]
[“Ha” - A sarcastic remark from my own brother (I really don’t want to say a single word about that person, hahaha, does he have to be so disgusted!)]
[If he weren't concerned about his image, I think this guy would have rolled his eyes almost! His disdain for the fake guy is practically overflowing!]
When Lu Huaijin saw Xiao Jue's face, he kept his chin in his hand and pondered silently.
The call ended, and he suddenly called out to Du Ruopu, "Mr. Du, did you like that male guest? What did you think of him?"
Although he wasn't very familiar with Xiao Jue... his status in the martial arts world meant he could introduce him.
Xiao almost choked on his own saliva, and alarm bells instantly went off in his mind—
Brother, brother! Run! Run!
Wen Yinhe had already started coughing wildly while covering his mouth, and with his other hand he was desperately tugging at Lu Huaijin's sleeve under the table.
Sometimes he really can't control his boss, Mr. Lu...
[Pfft—is this how a matchmaker introduces an honest person?! Mr. Lu, does Young Master Xiao know you're trying to set him up with someone else right after? Hilarious!]
[It's obvious that Mr. Lu genuinely wants to help this honest man find a new job, hahaha]
[President Lu's Contact List: Danger!!!]
"Huh?" Du Ruopu slowly opened her mouth, met Lu Huaijin's teasing gaze, and belatedly blushed, waving her hands repeatedly, "That gentleman was very handsome... no, I mean, he was very nice, but right now... I can't..."
Shu Bao'er was furious listening to this, but she didn't dare to lose her temper with Lu Huaijin, and she couldn't make a move in front of the camera. For a moment, she was so frustrated that her face turned ashen.
He bit his lip hard, thought for a moment, and mimicked Tao Miller's earlier actions, his eyes slowly welling up with tears. He gently wrapped his soft arms around Du Ruopu's arm, looking at him with tearful eyes: "Husband..."
Du Ruopu's eyes widened in horror, and he turned to look at Wen Yinhe and Lu Huaijin with unprecedented speed, nodding: "He's fine."
Shu Bao'er: "..."
Wen Yinhe felt as if he could hear Shu Bao'er's teeth crunching and breaking. He silently poured himself a glass of wine and personally fed it to Lu Huaijin, trying to stop Lu Huaijin from further disrupting the situation.
The variety show ultimately turned out exactly as Huai Jin had hoped.
[My little idol, I still prefer your old, rebellious self. Why did you have to learn from those scheming women? Look how scared your man is, he almost divorced you on the spot.]
[Nobody told me this episode was a comedy! I kept spraying my drink everywhere, I barely even drank any! It all went to my phone screen!]
Next, it was Zheng Shuming's turn to make a video call.
His second closest friend was a good buddy of his, whom Xiao also knew, so he wasn't surprised to see Zheng Shuming's story air.
However, when the video call connected, the scene was a chaotic bar booth with a background of people dancing wildly and deafening music.
Looking around, Xiao recognized several faces; they were people who had spent years hanging around Zheng Shuming.
At this moment, almost everyone in this group was holding a beautiful man or woman in their arms and engaging in some indecent behavior.
Xiao frowned deeply, feeling quite uncomfortable.
He had never really liked Zheng Shuming's cronies.
Looking at his friend's flushed face and cloudy eyes on the screen, Zheng Shuming had a bad feeling, but he still forced himself to say the lines on the card.
Sure enough, his good friend completely ignored Zheng Shuming's crazy glare and burst into unrestrained laughter. When he opened his mouth again, he showed absolutely no respect for Xiao Ye.
"Hahaha! Brother Zheng, haven't you said these things countless times? My ears are practically calloused! If you ask me, you're just ungrateful. This young master has a face, a butt, and money. What's the harm in putting up with him? At worst, you can sleep with him a few more times, ask him for more money, and consider it venting your anger. You can't handle him off the bed, but you can still do whatever you want in bed, right? If you really can't stand it, just come out and have some fun with the brothers, find a few gentle and submissive ones to enjoy..."
To make matters worse, Xiao Ye's familiar voice kept echoing from the side, uttering vulgarities.
Wen Yinhe's gentle demeanor was now shrouded in suppressed anger. His brows were furrowed, his lips were pressed into a straight line, and his hands, placed at his sides, clenched into fists.
This was the first time since the show started that I felt the urge to punch someone.
“It’s only human nature,” Lu Huaijin said, fully aware of Wen Yinhe’s thoughts and feelings. He placed his hand over Wen Yinhe’s trembling fist, his gaze towards Zheng Shuming was already as cold as a knife, and his sharp voice also concealed deep anger. “Who in the world doesn’t want to beat up a scumbag?”
Zheng Shuming quickly turned off his phone and, in front of millions of viewers, suddenly knelt down with a "thud," grabbing Xiao Ye's trouser leg with a look of utter dejection.
"Xiao Ye, don't listen to that madman's nonsense! I've never betrayed you, really! I'll break off all ties with them as soon as I get back! I'll never have anything to do with them again! Yes, I'll definitely bring them to you and have them apologize to you in person! I'm sorry, Xiao Ye, please forgive me..."
Xiao Ye lowered his eyes, his gaze terrifyingly bloodshot, the depths of his pupils a deathly darkness. He gritted his teeth and trembled as he said, "...Get out!"
[Aaaaaaah, I can't take it anymore! I really want to reach into the screen and slap this scumbag across the face!!!]
[Sobbing uncontrollably, my heart aches for the young master! Hearing those words on the phone shattered my heart! I can't imagine how painful it must be for him to hear them!]
[That scumbag knelt down so quickly?! It startled me!]
[Wife and money fly together! Slaps and spittle are the same color! Woohoo! Get lost, you scumbag!]
[I suggest that all the ladies secretly find out how their boyfriends' friends talk about them. Usually, the image your boyfriend has of you is the image he has of you (lights a cigarette)]
Not far away, Lu Huaijin suddenly waved to Xiao Ye, his handsome eyebrows filled with suppressed sharpness and darkness, and he called out in a deep and resounding voice: "Xiao Ye, come here."
Xiao Ye trembled, kicked Zheng Shuming away forcefully, and ran quickly towards Lu Huaijin with red eyes.
Over there, Zheng Shuming crawled forward a few steps on his knees, trying to stand up and chase after Xiao Ye, but was suddenly buried by a tall shadow.
“Mr. Zheng, please stop here.” Wen Yinhe looked down at the disheveled man at his feet, his eyelashes drooping, but his gaze towards Zheng Shuming was devoid of any warmth.
It contained no violence whatsoever, yet it inexplicably chilled one to the bone.
Then, the man parted his lips slightly, his naturally smiling lips seemingly carrying a faint smile, his voice as low and gentle as ever:
"Didn't you hear Mr. Xiao tell you to get out?"
[Ahhhhhh, so cool! The actor is so handsome!!! Thank you for being my lip-syncer! Get lost, you scumbag!!!]
[Young Master, are you done kicking him? Now it's my turn! My kicks are heavier! One kick and he's on his way to the Western Paradise!!!]
