Chapter 44 Pretentious
"Considering that Lu Wanxing wasn't feeling well and wasn't suitable for prolonged filming outdoors, we decided to try something different. This was originally planned for later, but we've moved it forward. Also, I'd like to announce something we agreed on at the orphanage: the person who gets the most lollipops will receive a reward. That reward is a chance to forcefully go on a date with their favorite female guest later on, and the guest can't refuse."
Everyone: ...
Lin Qiao raised her hand timidly.
"So, director, are we staying in the villa all day?"
Before the director could even answer, Xia Xiyue muttered in dissatisfaction, "So pretentious!"
Although he spoke softly, everyone around him heard him.
Viewers in the live stream also heard this abrupt statement.
This wasn't mentioned by name, but everyone knows it refers to Lu Wanxing. People just think it was nothing more than a minor bump, yet she ended up in the hospital and had her trip canceled.
The director suddenly stopped talking.
Although having a guest like Xia Xiyue on the show can easily cause trouble, she's just too unlikable.
His emotional intelligence is also low.
I already said that the later schedule was moved up, but this person just can't understand, right?
Are you still deliberately picking a fight?
Does she really think everyone is her mother and has to spoil her?
So the director didn't answer Lin Qiao's question for the time being, but instead turned his attention to Xia Xiyue.
"Does Yuuki have any better ideas?"
He named her directly, and Xia Xiyue's face showed a moment of embarrassment. Looking at the camera in front of her, she suddenly stammered, not knowing what to say.
Unexpectedly, Sheng Siwan stepped forward at this moment.
"Hehe, Xiyue didn't mean anything by it. She probably just thought it was a bit inappropriate for so many of us to accommodate Miss Lu?"
She seemed to be explaining, but her tone was actually accusing Lu Wanxing.
"Oh? So I was being dramatic! How about this, you guys go out and have fun, I won't go. I can't keep Miss Sheng from continuing to be a simp, can I?"
Lu Wanxing's clear voice lazily rang out from the other side of the sofa.
She was leaning back on the sofa, looking lazily at the person opposite her.
The words he uttered made Sheng Siwan's face flush red.
The way she's chasing after Bo Sinian right now, isn't she just a simp?
But it's one thing to know it yourself, but it's quite another to have it said in public.
The people next to them wanted to laugh but didn't dare, so they could only lower their heads and remain silent, trying to suppress their laughter.
Li Chengzhou, however, couldn't help but laugh.
"Ahem, I'm a movie star, I don't usually laugh unless I can't help it..."
Then he continued, "Then you guys go out and have fun, I'll stay at the villa with Xingxing."
"Pfft hahaha~ Me too, I'll stay too!"
Lin Qiao couldn't help but laugh too, and after a while, she weakly raised her hand to express her stance.
"I'll stay too," Han Xiulin said casually.
Wen Chen and Shen Wei: "We'll stay too."
Almost everyone said they wanted to stay, except for Xia Xiyue and Sheng Siwan.
Unexpectedly, Bo Sinian's words at this moment pierced her heart like a knife.
"In that case, you two go and have fun. Have a good time."
Sheng Siwan's expression kept changing, like a spilled palette of colors.
However, when it comes to live streaming, one has to maintain one's persona.
He quickly came out to explain, "I... I didn't mean that! How could you say that about me? I never said I wouldn't stay at the villa!"
She spoke with a wronged expression, as if so many people were deliberately bullying her.
Little did they know how hilarious this scene was to viewers in the live stream.
[Does Sheng Siwan think she's so pitiful? Wasn't it her own fault for seeing so many people putting up with Lu Wanxing? Now she's saying she didn't mean it that way, what a hypocrite! I'm turning against her!]
The director originally said this was a later part of the schedule, but it was brought forward, which means the production team had other ideas. But after she said that, it seems like it's all Lu Wanxing's fault.
[Don't you all think this is incredibly embarrassing? She's been here for days, and her popularity is already this bad? Not a single person is willing to stand by her side (except for Xia Xiyue)]
Director Li glanced at the comments section and saw that netizens were arguing again, knowing that the show's effect had been achieved.
He immediately continued answering the question Lin Qiao had just answered.
"Today we've arranged for everyone to have free time. That means our crew will simply film whatever activities you're doing. Of course, if you wish to stay at the villa, that's fine too; there's no mandatory requirement."
Director Li had a smiling face, but seeing his expression, everyone guessed that he was probably up to something again.
After all, there are two CEOs among them, and someone from the entertainment industry...
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Sheng Siwan, who had just been saying that Lu Wanxing was holding everyone back from going out to play, realized that she had been misled by Lin Qiao's words.
As the director mentioned earlier, due to Lu Wanxing's health condition, she herself assumed she would be staying in the villa.
This is really awkward.
Xia Xiyue remained silent, like a quail.
Bo Sinian picked up his phone at this moment. Assistant Ding had sent a lot of messages. He thought about it and decided that since that was the case, he should try to get out as soon as possible and return to the villa as soon as possible.
So he stood up and said calmly, "Then I'll head back to the company now."
With that, he strode away with his long legs.
Han Xiulin also got up at this moment.
"I'm busy now, see you later."
As he spoke, he deliberately waved in Lu Wanxing's direction.
Lu Wanxing: ...
She didn't quite understand these CEOs; they were clearly so busy with work, yet they still insisted on appearing on variety shows.
Why not just focus on building your career at the company?
Others also called their agents to ask what work they had for the day.
The production team didn't specifically confiscate the artists' phones, but they couldn't take them out during the live broadcast.
But now they were contacting their agents, so everyone pulled out their phones.
Upon seeing this, Sheng Siwan immediately grabbed her phone and called her agent, Sister Yu.
This agent is Lu Wanxing's.
She deliberately called her former agent right in front of her.
Lu Wanxing's eyes flickered when she called out to Sister Yu on the phone.
Sister Yu, who was watching the live stream, was practically cursing.
