After the trending topic exploded, marketing accounts on various platforms were all promoting and reposting it. Fans and netizens who took different sides were also moving between several platforms, and the battle quickly spread.
However, the atmosphere among the guests during the variety show recording was still "calm".
"What's wrong?"
Li Weiwan, who had been staying in the living room, walked into the room in confusion after hearing Su Ying's cursing.
"Why are you suddenly swearing? Did something happen?"
Li Weiwan is introverted, and when faced with this kind of situation, she can only ask this question seriously and blankly.
"..."
Ning Shi and Fang Lei were speechless, and could only shake their heads desperately to express their helplessness.
"Huh?" Li Weiwan didn't understand what was going on and was puzzled by their strange reactions.
"What's going on? Why is everyone so quiet?"
[Don't ask anymore, Li Zi, don't ask anymore. I'm afraid you'll be the next one called crazy!]
"Brother Li, listen to me, get out of here right now! This room is no place for a human to stay!"
[Brother Li, Su Ying just scolded your Chaochao. Quickly get a little angry with her as punishment!]
"..."
Ning Shi and Fang Lei shook their heads again, and this time they shook them even harder.
"..." Li Weiwan blinked blankly. Seeing that Ning Shi and Fang Lei both looked terrified, she could only turn her questioning gaze to Su Ying.
After Su Ying finished throwing her tantrum, she belatedly realized that she might have caused trouble.
She lowered her head and bit her lip tightly, not daring to look up at the three people standing in front of her.
"..."
The huge room was enveloped in a suffocating silence, and Fang Lei and Ning Shi were about to burst with embarrassment.
In the end, Fang Lei was the first to break down and let out two fake "haha" laughs.
"Hey, Sister Su Ying, you hid so well! I never imagined someone could hide under a trench coat. If it weren't for that sudden phone ring, Ning Shi and I probably would never have found you—"
"cough!"
Seeing that Fang Lei was heading further and further into dangerous territory, Ning Shi quickly nudged him with her arm, silencing him.
Fang Lei was stunned for a moment before belatedly realizing that his words, which he thought would ease the tension, were actually stabbing Su Ying in the heart.
"!!!" He stared in horror, his eyes widening as he immediately shut his mouth, feeling as if he was about to shatter.
[Hahahaha! Why bring up something you shouldn't talk about? Lei Zi, you'd better watch out, Su Ying might assassinate you!]
[Lei Zi, listen to me, don't hang out with Su Ying anymore. She's such a sore loser, you might be the next one getting yelled at!]
[Oh my god, Lei Zi, you only have one life, can't you cherish it a little? I'm genuinely afraid Su Ying will slap you into your coffin.]
Keep silent; right now, silence is the best protection.
[Hahaha, Lei Zi gives off the vibe of retiring from the industry after this job.]
Since Fang Lei was unreliable, Ning Shi decided to take matters into her own hands.
She took a deep breath, forced a sweet smile, and said to Su Ying, "Sister Su Ying, since you're out of the game, the three of us will go find the next person."
“…Okay.” Su Ying composed herself and forced herself to put on her usual friendly expression.
Ning Shi smiled and nodded at her, then turned around and poked Fang Lei's waist with her finger.
"Let's go, let's go, hurry up!"
These few simple words revealed Ning Shi's strong will to survive.
Fang Lei didn't dare to delay and immediately dragged the clueless Li Weiwan away from the room, tripping over her left and right feet.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Zhu Jinchao turned off his phone and said to Shi Jing in a whisper, "Success!"
Shi Jing knew she had succeeded, but she couldn't be happy at all.
He struggled to turn to his side in the narrow bed compartment, stubbornly facing Zhu Jinchao: "Chaochao, are you alright?"
Zhu Jinzhao smiled sweetly at the camera and said, "I'm fine."
Hearing the ease and laughter in her tone, Shi Jing's heart suddenly ached.
[Waaaaah, I'm so upset! I got sworn at for no reason, but she can still smile happily in front of the camera. I'm going to cry!]
[Damn it, how could he be so heartless as to scold such an adorable daughter like Su Ying? It's absolutely inhuman!]
[Haha, what's this? The insults Chaochao suffered in the first two days after appearing on the show were far worse than this. Chaochao wouldn't even take Su Ying's innocuous words to heart.]
I am Jingjin's Exam-Taking Dog: [Although Chaochao is optimistic, she's not as strong as you all imagine. Being insulted while playing a game really hurts her; she just doesn't like to show it or try to gain sympathy.]
With cameras filming, it was inconvenient to say many things aloud. Before Fang Lei and the others entered Suite One, Shi Jing took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to Zhu Jinzhao.
—Chao Chao, don't be afraid, I will avenge you.
Zhu Jinzhao looked at her phone and softly hummed in agreement.
Shi Jing replied: "We agreed that I would take the blame for everything. From now on, you will hand over all matters related to Su Ying to me."
Wishing you well today.
"Shi Choupi? Are you in your room?"
As soon as Zhu Jinzhao finished speaking softly, Ning Shi's drawn-out shout rang out in the living room.
The screens of both phones were turned off simultaneously, and Zhu Jinzhao and Shi Jing fell silent in perfect unison.
"Let's search separately. This time, I'll search the living room and balcony," Fang Lei's voice came a few seconds later.
Upon hearing Ning Shi's reply, Zhu Jinzhao said, "Okay, then Brother Li and I will go find a room!"
Li Weiwan: "I'll go to Shi Jing's room, you go to Jin Zhao's."
Ning Shi: "Okay."
As soon as the division of labor was assigned, the doors to Zhu Jinzhao and Shi Jing's rooms were pushed open.
"Da, da, da..."
The light, slow footsteps brushed against her eardrums, and Zhu Jinzhao subconsciously held her breath, her heart pounding uncontrollably in her chest.
"Whoosh—"
Ning Shi came over from the doorway and, upon finding the bed, yanked off Zhu Jinzhao's blanket.
The blanket was empty; there was nothing inside.
"Little Jinzhao..."
Although she didn't know if anyone was hiding in the room, Ning Shi deliberately made a sound in an attempt to unsettle the person hiding there.
"Where are you hiding, Xiao Jinchao...?"
"Little Jinzhao, do you think I'll be able to find you..."
"You didn't hide in the walk-in closet too, did you...?"
Ning Shi muttered to herself as she turned and walked into the dressing room.
Having learned from her experience of finding Su Ying, she was much more cautious when searching the dressing room. Although it was obvious that Zhu Jinzhao's clothes couldn't hide a person, she still reluctantly opened each garment to make sure there was nothing inside before putting them back.
"There was no one hiding in the walk-in closet?"
Emerging empty-handed from the walk-in closet, Ning Shi frowned and turned to walk straight towards the door.
But she hadn't taken two steps when she suddenly turned back, her sharp gaze sweeping towards the large bed in the center of the room.
"Wait, I haven't looked here yet..."
