Director Zhang slapped his forehead and said with a smile, "Oh, I remember now, Xiao An, you're a fan of Meng Huaichuan. You told me that when we first met. I thought you were a fan of Xiao Yi back then."
When Bi Xie heard Zhang Shu call Xiao Jingyi "Xiao Yi", the corners of his mouth deepened. He turned to look at Xiao Jingyi and found that he was also looking at her. He said with a gloomy expression, "She (he) is not participating."
I don't know if he was referring to her or Meng Huaichuan.
Zhang Shu got impatient and shoved him away: "How can you make decisions for Xiao An?" He then turned to Bi Xie and said, "Don't worry, as long as you participate in this variety show, I will definitely call Meng Huaichuan over. That kid likes thrilling wilderness survival and loves playing that game called 'PUBG Mobile'... If I call him over, he wouldn't dare not give me face!"
Director Zhang can be considered Meng Huaichuan's mentor, having promoted Meng Huaichuan, so Bi Xie still believes what he says.
However, judging from his anxious appearance, it seems that he really couldn't find anyone else, so he was desperate and resorted to any means necessary.
After thinking for a moment, Bi Xie nodded, "Okay, just let me know when the time comes. But Director Zhang, I won't go without Meng Huaichuan."
"Don't worry about that, I'll call his agent later..."
The two communicated smoothly, without even glancing at Xiao Jingyi's ugly and gloomy face.
After Bi Xie left, Director Zhang let out a sigh of relief, patted Xiao Jingyi on the shoulder, and sighed, "Xiao Yi, if you like someone, just go for it. Do you really want to be alone forever? Don't always think one thing and do another. If you always have such a cold face, the girl will be scared away... I think Xiao An is a good kid. She might become a TV queen or an award queen in the future. If you want to pursue her then, it will be much harder..."
Xiao Jingyi pursed his thin lips and stared at the girl's disappearing figure without saying a word.
Two days later, Bi Xie received a call from the production team of "Escape from the City". Because it was close to the end of the year and the recording of the show was in a hurry, Bi Xie went to sign the contract on the same day she received the call. Before signing the contract, the production team clearly told her that Meng Huaichuan would also participate in the variety show, and that the production team had also invited a surprise special guest.
The day before the winter solstice, Bi Xie received a notification from the production team and rushed to the location provided.
The weather wasn't very good; it was overcast and looked like it was going to snow. Two male guests had arrived at the recording venue earlier than Bi Xie. One of them was very muscular and looked like he worked out often, but he didn't seem to be very famous. The other looked like he wasn't even 18 yet; he was tall and thin and quite handsome.
Bi Xie did not have an agent. After getting out of the car, he was led by staff to a table set up by the production team to sign his name and his phone was confiscated.
After completing a set of procedures, Bi Xie turned around and saw the two male guests looking at her.
She smiled at them and went over to greet them.
It turns out that the muscular male guest is named Xiong Yu, an outdoor adventure streamer. He has a huge following on online platforms because he always does extreme and exciting adventure activities, and his outdoor survival skills are also quite high.
The handsome young man is named Dai Yichen. He is a rising idol who excels in both singing and dancing. His group disbanded just a few months ago, and he is currently free when he was invited to participate in this variety show.
Just as Bi Xie was about to introduce himself to them, Dai Yichen smiled brightly and said, "Sister An, you're always trending on social media. Yu Ge and I saw you as soon as you got out of the car, and we all know who you are."
Thinking of those comments online, Bi Xie's face flushed with embarrassment, and he coughed awkwardly, "Let's not dwell on the past. Do you know what the adventure content of each episode is?"
Dai Yichen, with his high EQ, spoke first: "Sister An, please don't mind the comments online. I can read faces, and when I looked at you, I felt a special connection with you. I hope you and Brother Yu can help me with this adventure. I will definitely do my best not to hold everyone back."
After saying that, he shook his head sadly at Bi Xie, "I don't know. I asked Brother Yu, but the production team did a good job of keeping it a secret and we couldn't find out anything."
Compared to Dai Yichen's outgoing personality, Xiong Yu was more composed. The three chatted for a while longer before another car arrived. Meng Huaichuan and his agent got out of the car, dressed in black clothes, black pants, black masks, and black baseball caps, with a few light purple ear-like hairs peeking out from under the caps.
She dyed her fur again.
"Hello everyone!" Meng Huaichuan exclaimed excitedly as soon as he saw the people in this direction.
His agent had gone to handle some business for him. He took off his mask and approached, but the smile on his lips gradually disappeared when he saw Bi Xie. He exclaimed in surprise, "You...you...how come you're here too?"
Bi Xie smiled sweetly at him and extended her hand: "Hello Meng Huaichuan, actually I am your fan, and I am very happy to be able to work with you this time."
Meng Huaichuan stared at the girl's fair hand, hesitating to reach out and hold it. This girl was Jing Yi's ex-girlfriend, and it was because he had accidentally brought the two of them together for a day trip. No matter how you looked at it, it seemed like she was there to bring him bad luck. Could she be his fan?
After hesitating for a while, under the questioning gazes of Dai Yichen and Xiong Yu, Meng Huaichuan still said dryly, "Okay...okay, if you're scared during the recording, just follow behind me." He was very fond of his fans, and since she took the initiative to show goodwill, he would let bygones be bygones.
The three waited a while longer. The sky grew increasingly gloomy, and the wind picked up. But the production team said that two guests had not yet arrived and they could only set off together once everyone was present.
Meng Huaichuan was easygoing and carefree, and the three boys quickly struck up a conversation, showing great interest in the upcoming "special trip." Bi Xie listened quietly without interrupting, appearing particularly well-behaved and sensible.
About fifteen minutes later, the last two guests finally arrived at the scene.
The female guest was Manni. She got out of the car surrounded by a large entourage. When she looked at Bi Xie, her eyes were practically spitting fire.
It's like rivals meeting, their eyes blazing with hatred.
The last male guest, who was also a special guest, was naturally Xiao Jingyi.
Bi Xie wasn't surprised to see him. She didn't know where her confidence came from; she just felt that Xiao Jing would come along soon.
"Brother Jingyi!" Meng Huaichuan saw Xiao Jingyi and immediately rushed over, as if he'd been injected with dog blood. "So you're the special guest! That's great! I've never filmed a variety show with you before, Brother Jingyi. Where are you planning to spend the New Year, Brother Jingyi? My mom called me the other day and asked me to bring you home for dumplings..."
Once everyone was present, the production crew drove Bi Xie and his group directly to the first recording location—a giant haunted house.
As the car traveled, Meng Huaichuan dominated the entire carriage, buzzing incessantly like a bee, as if he had endless things to say to Xiao Jingyi. In contrast, Xiao Jingyi only occasionally replied with a word or two, his tone chillingly indifferent.
