"Okay, I'll hang up now." Yu Yunzhi slammed the phone down, not giving Shao Wenyan a chance to say another word.
[She's panicking! Is she hanging up so quickly because she's afraid we'll hear something we shouldn't?]
[Another detail proves that the relationship between these two is definitely not simple; what junior would hang up on a senior first?]
Fortunately, one of the hosts was reliable. Lin Shuang used her professional skills to quickly take control of the situation, preventing Yu Yunzhi from continuing to feel embarrassed.
"The next game we're going to play is called 'Real or Fake Phone Calls.' The rules are that our two groups will come on stage and call people in our contact lists according to the program's instructions. Then everyone will guess who is actually making the call."
The connections are randomly selected by the production team, so before going up, no one, including the game participants, knows in advance whether their call will actually go through.
During this time, another group can ask them questions to determine who is actually on the phone. The person who actually answers the phone must answer truthfully as stated on the phone and cannot lie. Those who guess correctly will receive a mystery reward.
Finally, it was decided that Yu Yunzhi and Wang Xinyuan would be in one group, Zhou Siyu and Guo Chengyue would be the first to go out, and Li Banxia and Yang Tao would guess.
"The rule for this round is to call the last celebrity in the industry who made the call."
[The last celebrity to call? Does that mean Yu Yunzhi is going to call Shao Wenyan again? After all, they just spoke.]
Although Shao Wenyan wasn't there, he seemed to be everywhere.
[The biggest winner of this episode is Shao Wenyan; the director should pay him an appearance fee!]
[Another chance to see leopard and cat talking on the phone?! So happy!]
[The production team must know what we like to watch! Please, please include Shao Wenyan! I have this quirk—I love watching couples show off their affection.]
[Quick, quick, I want to hear more!]
Yu Yunzhi's mood was like a rollercoaster, one wave after another. She had just hung up the phone, and now she was being asked to call back?!
But in order not to hold the team back, all she can do now is wear a headset and follow the rules of the game.
If it's one out of four people, they probably won't choose her again... right?
"Hey, Zhizhi."
Yu Yunzhi: "..."
She was speechless. Was the production team really just targeting her relentlessly?
Aren't they curious about what other people will say?
"Hey." Yu Yunzhi briefly explained the current situation to Shao Wenyan, what game they were playing, and that Shao Wenyan needed to cooperate.
Li Banxia and Yang Tao, sitting in the observation panel, were carefully observing everyone's expressions, with a particular focus on Yu Yunzhi.
They both knew that Yu Yunzhi was on the phone with Shao Wenyan, but the authenticity of the call remained to be verified. However, based on their understanding of the show's production team's practices, it was highly likely that Yu Yunzhi was telling the truth.
“I have a question for Sister Yunzhi,” Li Banxia spoke first. “Sister Yunzhi is on the phone with Professor Shao Wenyan right now, right?”
"Yes."
"Sister Yunzhi, could you please ask Teacher Shao Wenyan if he remembers when he last participated in 'Weekend Joy'?"
"June 4, 2022."
Yu Yunzhi didn't even ask what Shao Wenyan said on the phone; he just blurted it out.
Shao Wenyan has appeared on fewer variety shows than she has. Yu Yunzhi had watched two of them many times before, and she remembered the dates immediately without having to ask Shao Wenyan.
"Sister Yunzhi, you haven't even asked Teacher Shao Wenyan yet. You didn't just give me a date randomly, did you?" Li Banxia looked at Yu Yunzhi with suspicion. She had just asked a question and wasn't even sure of the answer herself.
Now she was starting to waver. Could it be that Sister Yunzhi wasn't really on the phone?
“It’s definitely June 4th, 2022,” Lin Shuang interjected.
Holy crap, I just checked, it really is June 4th.
[It was indeed June 4th, 2022. I've been a fan of Shao Wenyan for eight years, and I even went to support him when he participated in this variety show! Yu Yunzhi was right!]
[Sorry, I'm totally shipping them again. She didn't even ask him for the answer, she just gave him the correct one. What does that mean? It means that Cat had been following Leopard before.]
"Sister Yunzhi, could you ask where Professor Shao Wenyan is right now?"
Yu Yunzhi didn't answer this time, even though she knew the answer, she still asked, "They asked me to ask you where you are now."
“In Beijing,” Yu Yunzhi replied innocently.
Yang Tao's expression was intriguing, and Li Banxiaze instantly showed a look of disbelief, just like Yu Yunzhi. According to her information, Shao Wenyan should be in City C right now.
So she and Yang Tao had already secretly ruled out Yu Yunzhi, but the director in their earpieces told them to create more topics, so Li Banxia and the others had no choice but to ask Yu Yunzhi a few more questions.
"Sister Yunzhi, could you ask Professor Shao Wenyan for me if he has someone he likes? Would he choose to publicly express his love or confess his feelings in private?"
Yu Yunzhi repeated the question to Shao Wenyan on the other end of the phone.
"It depends on what you like. If you like the first one, I'll confess to you again."
This might be okay to say to Yu Yunzhi, but it's definitely not something you can say to the audience!
He completely disregarded her initial words. She had already told him to speak properly, so how was she supposed to answer now?
Luckily, I was wearing a headset, so no one could hear me.
Yu Yunzhi had to embellish the story himself, saying, "He said it depends on what the girl likes."
Wow!
Based on Yu Yunzhi's micro-expressions, I think she was indeed on the phone. After asking that question, she pursed her lips and unconsciously fiddled with the hem of her clothes while waiting for the answer. Psychologically speaking, it's highly likely she was genuinely on the phone.
[So that means Yunbao likes it! No wonder she seemed a little shy!]
I reasonably suspect that Leopard has already confessed his feelings to Cat.
[So, could the production team please release the recording of their conversation? I want to know what Brother Shao actually said.]
"Sister Yunzhi, please ask Professor Shao Wenyan what he's up to right now," Yang Tao said.
He said he was on the phone with me.
After creating enough buzz, Li Banxia and Yang Tao finally let Yu Yunzhi go and started questioning the others instead, because they really wanted to win. Based on past experience, this mysterious reward would play a huge role in the later stages of the game.
"Is everything alright?" Shao Wenyan was also watching the live stream and knew what the situation was.
"Mm." Seeing that they had finally let her go, Yu Yunzhi answered Shao Wenyan's questions very carefully, only managing a quick reply when Li Banxia and Yang Tao weren't paying attention.
[Yunbao's secret feelings are so strong!]
[I want to know what they're talking about! Stop guessing, Yu Yunzhi is definitely real, it's so obvious! Why do Banxia and the other two think it's not her?]
In the end, Li Banxia and Yang Tao decided on Zhou Siyu as their choice.
As the answer was about to be revealed, Lin Shuang repeatedly confirmed with Li Banxia whether they had made their choice. Both of them said yes, and Lin Shuang was helpless, since she had already given them this hint.
"Alright, let's get ready to reveal the answer now."
