Chapter 36 The Drama Queen in a Romance Variety Show 9: White Mesh Veil
Tang Yu handed the juice to them.
As her palm touched the cold glass, Yun Chiyi's gaze also appeared indifferent.
She gently swirled the orange juice and casually started the conversation: "Let's play a question-and-answer game. The person who doesn't answer goes to the beach to pick up a seashell."
Shen Zhouzhou, unafraid of provocation, said, "I can let you pick up a whole basketful, so you'd better watch out."
Yun Chiyi smiled happily, looking up at Tang Yu who was standing with her back to the light: "Sister, do you want to participate?"
Tang Yu and Yun Chiyi shared a room and spent every day together, yet she didn't understand Yun Chiyi. Her intuition pulled her back, warning her not to get too close to Yun Chiyi. However, under Yun Chiyi's earnest gaze, she sat calmly opposite her.
The three people sat in a triangle under the eaves.
Shen Zhouzhou began to establish the rules: "I'll ask first, Yun Chiyi will answer, then it's Yun Chiyi's turn to ask you, and then you ask me."
Yun Chiyi, like an elegant ragdoll cat, leaned lazily against the wall: "I have no problem."
Tang Yu nodded calmly: "Okay."
A sea breeze brushed against her eyelashes, and Shen Zhouzhou's red lips parted slightly: "Do you have feelings for Song Shiguang?"
Yun Chiyi looked at Shen Zhouzhou with a half-smile. Her question was pushing her directly into a dangerous situation. Now, which guest couldn't see that Tang Yu admired Song Shiguang the most?
Shen Zhouzhou smugly nudged Yun Chiyi's shoulder: "Why aren't you answering? Are you that cowardly?"
Yun Chiyi raised her hand and slapped her away, her smile deepening: "Yes, he's very interesting."
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhouzhou clapped his hands excitedly.
Now it was Yun Chiyi's turn to ask questions. She grabbed Tang Yu's wrist with her fair and clean hand and asked innocently, "Sister Tang Yu, do you have feelings for Song Shiguang?"
Tang Yu suddenly gripped her hand tightly on her lap.
Yun Chiyi blinked: "It's okay if you don't answer, sister."
Tang Yu struggled greatly before answering, "Yes."
Shen Zhouzhou clicked his tongue: "Tsk."
At the same time, Yun Chiyi relaxed her body and leaned back in the spot where she had been.
It was Tang Yu's turn to take the initiative. Everyone thought she would treat him with courtesy, but unexpectedly, she immediately hit Shen Zhouzhou's sore spot.
What is your relationship with Lin Qiaoyu?
Shen Zhouzhou looked away, her panic all too obvious.
Yun Chiyi was also interested in this topic, and poked Chen Zhouzhou's shoulder with her slender fingers: "Why aren't you answering? What kind of secret relationship do you two have?"
Just as Shen Zhouzhou was about to answer, Yun Chiyi added with a smile.
“If you lie, I will be able to tell.”
In a moment of distraction, Shen Zhouzhou missed the best opportunity to answer the question.
Yun Chiyi stood up: "Alright, the game is over. Zhouzhou, go collect seashells. Remember to pick a pretty one to bring back!"
Shen Zhouzhou was filled with regret. He snorted coldly and didn't forget to make a sarcastic remark before leaving.
"You two must never fight over the same man."
Yun Chiyi said, "No way, men aren't worth fighting over."
She took Tang Yu's arm and said, "Sister Tang Yu, don't listen to her nonsense. Let's go upstairs and take a nap."
Tang Yu looked at her tightly entwined hands; a cold-blooded creature with ill intentions had climbed onto her body, and she couldn't shake it off.
[The game is finally over, damn that sense of urgency!]
[No, what exactly is the relationship between Shen Zhouzhou and Lin Qiao? It's so mysterious and strange.]
[If it's an ex, wouldn't that be awkward? But it doesn't seem like a good match.]
[I beg you all to consider Lin Qiaoyu's feelings; he's sitting so close, he must have heard everything clearly.]
After all three left, Lin Qiao felt speechless.
When they talk about private matters, can't they at least do it in private?
But he heard it all.
In his opinion, Yun Chiyi was just stirring up trouble, and her expression towards Song Shiguang was somewhat strange.
It was definitely not infatuation.
The girls' dormitory on the third floor was unusually quiet, as captured by the camera.
Those watching the live stream also went to sleep.
Yun Chiyi and Tang Yu went to bed for a nap. Just as they were about to wake up, they were awakened by the sound of heels in the corridor.
Click, click, click, the harsh footsteps grew closer and closer.
A hand pushed open their door. There were no cameras in the room. Yun Chiyi had changed out of her morning clothes and was now leaning against the bed in a comfortable nightgown.
She glanced at the suddenly opened door, a flash of displeasure crossing her eyes.
Yu Kexin leaned against the door frame: "Didn't the director tell us to go to the dance hall? Why aren't you up yet? Did you oversleep for something so important?"
ballroom?
Yun Chiyi and Tang Yu exchanged a glance, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes, and then looked at Yu Kexin at the door.
Yu Kexin's hair was styled into glossy, wavy waves, and her blue dress with crisscross straps at the back was bathed in the warm sunlight. She looked exceptionally dazzling, a perfect outfit for a ball.
But no one came to inform Yun Chiyi and the others about the ball.
At that moment, the mechanical broadcast sounded sluggishly through the villa.
"Good afternoon, everyone. Please listen carefully to the broadcast."
"Please go to the dressing room to change into your formal attire for the evening ball. We'll see you in an hour."
An hour is too short for a carefully prepared outfit, not to mention the travel time.
"I've notified you now, so get ready quickly." Yu Kexin lifted her skirt and turned around without any pressure.
Yun Chiyi got off the bed barefoot, took two steps over and grabbed Yu Kexin's skirt: "Sister Kexin, your skirt is so pretty."
Yu Kexin didn't like being called "sister," but Yun Chiyi was the youngest here, and for the sake of the cameras, she endured it, her face full of displeasure, wanting only to leave as soon as possible.
Yun Chiyi wasn't worried that Yu Kexin wouldn't reply. She lifted the hem of her dress and muttered to herself, "It looks so expensive. Sister Kexin was prepared a long time ago. The production team really favors you; they didn't even tell us in advance."
Director Yu told Yu Kexin earlier so that she could prepare discreetly and make a glamorous appearance; she didn't expect Director Yu to notify her so late.
The show's initial plan was to only give the female guests forty minutes.
Viewers might not enjoy watching a princess's dressing room, but wouldn't it be much more interesting to watch a makeup challenge?
The production team, also watching the live stream, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, waiting to see how Yu Kexin would handle the situation, otherwise, the audience on the screen wouldn't be so easily fooled.
Yu Kexin pulled her skirt back: "You're a girl, you're too strong. Let go first."
Yun Chiyi was in a bad mood, but still had a mischievous sense of humor that she couldn't be bothered to beat around the bush: "I bet you probably won the game in private, which is why the production team gave you special privileges. Next time there's something like this, Sister Kexin, you have to tell me."
Yu Kexin couldn't think of any other good ideas for a moment, so she simply gave up and went along with what she said: "Secret games are meant to be kept secret. You can't know. Don't force me."
Yun Chi smiled and said, "That really is a top secret."
Time ticked by, and with time already running out, Tang Yu came over to persuade Yun Chiyi: "Let's change our clothes first, there's no time left."
Yun Chiyi slammed the door shut and said in a huff, "I'm not going. Whoever wants to go can go. Tang Yu, you shouldn't go either."
Yu Kexin stomped her feet outside the door, her eyes instantly welling up with tears: "I even rushed over to secretly tell you, Xiaoyi, if you don't appreciate my kindness, then please don't stop Sister Tang Yu from going to the ball, okay?"
The more she cried, the more excited the audience became.
[I'm speechless. What is Yun Chiyi doing? It's her business if she can't accept the notification, why is she dragging Tang Yu into this?]
[Is it Yun Chiyi's fault now, or is it Ke Xin's fault? It's all so inexplicable.]
[That damn production team has to cause trouble. If Tang Yu doesn't attend the ball, I'll smash you all to pieces!]
Inside the door, Tang Yu asked softly, "Are you really not going?"
Yun Chiyi shook her head silently, her petal-shaped lips gently parting: "Go."
Yu Kexin cried outside for five or six minutes, and her eye makeup was a little smudged, so she went back to her room to touch up her makeup.
She left with a smile on her face, calmly flagging down a seaside sightseeing bus to go to the dance hall.
The scenery along the way was refreshing and beautiful, and the sea breeze and waves were exceptionally gentle.
She took out her makeup mirror, constantly checking the perfection of her makeup. They all didn't have time to put on makeup, so she, fully made up, was the star of the night.
Upon arrival, a figure in red was already present in the dance hall.
How could Shen Zhouzhou have arrived so early?!
However, her makeup was too simple, and the details couldn't withstand the scrutiny of a high-definition camera.
Yu Kexin walked over and said, "Good morning."
Shen Zhouzhou yawned: "The production team suddenly started playing some exciting games, without even giving us time to change clothes."
She glanced at her deep purple dress, then gracefully and elegantly spread it open: "Luckily, some people are naturally beautiful and look good in anything."
Currently, only Lu Yi'ang is present among the male guests. As a plant for the show, he received the news early on, changed his clothes, and is waiting here.
He and Yu Kexin exchanged a glance, noticing that the other was dressed formally but not flustered, and each had their own speculations.
Gradually, other guests arrived one after another.
When Lin Qiao entered, she glanced at the ballroom. The ballroom was beautifully decorated, with crystal chandeliers shimmering and delicious food and drinks prepared on the side.
They put in a lot of effort for the eight people.
The appointed time was fast approaching, and Yun Chiyi and Tang Yu were still missing.
Lin Qiao sat with a wine glass in her hand, glancing around the room. It was dull and gloomy, utterly uninteresting.
[Really not coming? Just playing big games with small stakes.]
[Tang Yu is nowhere to be found.]
[The live stream was so exciting! I hope the team won't use being sick as an excuse to be late again this time.]
[Why is nobody saying the show's producers are deliberately stirring things up? Does nobody think Yu Kexin's "secret game" claim is completely unfounded?]
With both people absent, the director was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
He did have his own selfish motives, but he never expected that Yun Chiyi would have such a bad temper and give him a cold shoulder in front of the live broadcast camera.
The director called his assistant over and asked him to invite Yun Chiyi and Tang Yu over.
Just as the assistant was about to leave, the light at the door was blocked by two beautiful figures, and Yun Chiyi and Tang Yu walked in one after the other.
Yun Chiyi wore a white mesh veil that hung down from above, its length just enough to conceal her clear eyes. She only wore face cream and lip gloss, while Tang Yu behind her had a complete and light makeup look, with her hair styled in an intellectual and gentle manner.
Yun Chiyi helped her tie her hair, and Yun Chiyi also did her eyeshadow.
The countdown ended as soon as the two arrived.
