Chapter 17 Exiting the Program



Qin Yue slowly shook her head: "I haven't been back from abroad for long, so I don't know much about the artists in the industry yet. Everything depends on your arrangements, Director. Once the company is established, I hope that the artists under your management will receive your guidance."

...

The group, drenched in sweat and with their makeup ruined, returned to find Qin Yue playing chess with the director.

Play chess?

[Everyone else has been running for an hour or two, and she's the only one with impeccable makeup, calmly playing chess?]

Ah, this is easy to overthink.

[Tsk, I knew this woman was up to something a long time ago. She seduces this guy and then that guy; she wants every man in the world to revolve around her.]

Qin Xu abandoned his teammate Jiang Qingtang and didn't bother her, instead pulling up a stool to watch.

The others exchanged glances and then joined in.

Seeing that there was no way to turn the tide, Director Wang conceded defeat and asked how she would have solved the predicament on the chessboard if she were in that situation.

Qin Yue pointed to the tiger's mouth with her finger: "Sending him here, sacrificing one of your pieces, might give you a better chance to survive."

The director wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief: "I didn't expect Xiaoyue to be such a Go master at such a young age."

“My father liked to play chess. In order to find someone to play against, he would give me some pointers in his spare time, but I only know the basics.”

She only had a superficial understanding.

What am I?

Just starting out?

After putting away the chessboard, Qin Xu finally spoke up: "Sister, we won first place. What would you like to eat for lunch? Teacher Wen Xu hasn't come back yet, I'll have him buy some and bring it back."

[No, Qin Xu is just being ridiculous. He seemed to be getting along well with Tang Bao outdoors, but he completely changed his attitude as soon as they got back? My opinion of him has plummeted. If he really liked someone, why would he participate in this variety show? Is he just making fun of people?]

[Tang Bao found four gold coins. Before you try to curry favor with her, can you at least ask her opinion first?]

Qin Yue shook her head and said, "You don't need to prepare lunch for me. I just thought it wouldn't be right to leave without saying goodbye, so I waited for you to come back so I could tell you in person that I won't be participating in the recording of the rest of the program due to my own reasons."

[Haha, they finally left. If they hadn't left, I was going to give up on the show. What a piece of trash.]

What happened? He was fine this morning, how could he just leave like that?

[So, we won't be seeing the brothers fighting over a girl anymore?]

Qin Xu's expression changed, and disregarding the fact that the camera was still on, his gloomy gaze suddenly turned to the director: "Why? Did someone cause you trouble while we were away?"

At first, I thought Qin Xu was pretty good, and I really shipped the younger man/older woman pairing. But now it feels like he's going crazy all the time. Didn't my sister already mention her reasons?

My brother isn't that kind of person at all. I now seriously suspect there's a script involved, just for the sake of the show.

"The director and staff were all very nice. When you weren't around, two super cute girls even accompanied me for a walk around the neighborhood."

Didn't you say back then that you participated in this show to clarify the unfounded rumors between us? Now everyone knows we're siblings.

Besides, the show's main focus is on celebrity dating; as an ordinary person, how could I possibly be suitable to participate in the subsequent recordings?

[The older sister has been fooled by this cunning little wolf cub! Does the younger brother look like he's trying to clear up the rumors? He seems eager to announce his feelings to the whole world.]

[So annoying! I've already said they're siblings! Can't it just be a younger brother's affection for his older sister? Why do you have to interpret it as romantic love?]

Qin Xu couldn't hear anything anymore; his mind was filled with the unfounded rumors about her and him.

So, it was because of his feelings for her that she chose to run away again?

He wanted to say that since she wasn't going to record anymore, he should also leave the show.

But reason told him that doing so would only push her further away.

It might even make her think that I'm willful and irresponsible.

The director hid behind the camera, listening to their back-and-forth conversation with a profound and inscrutable expression.

Only he knew that the person in front of him had become the sugar daddy!

Only him!

I really want to tell everyone and create a buzz.

Unfortunately, the investor didn't want to.

The moment Wen Xu stepped into the frame, the comments section exploded.

[Put the camera on my husband's face! I want to see his expression when he finds out his wife is leaving the show.]

They lived up to expectations.

Upon hearing that she was leaving the show, Wen Xu lost all composure.

stunned.

Surprised and doubtful.

I don't understand.

[Brother: I just went out to buy groceries, what did I miss? My wife's gone, so there's no need for me to stay on the show.]

[I can't lose two lovers in one day! My fragile heart can't take such a blow. Director, please don't force me to send you razor blades!]

[The director should have knelt on durians, and if he knew how to use a keyboard, begged him to stay!]

[She was just an ordinary person anyway; it's better that she left.]

As the investor, Qin Yue naturally wouldn't let Wen Xu, this free laborer, leave easily.

"I hope everyone has a great time on the show and finds someone they like. I will support you all in front of the camera and watch the live stream every day without missing a single one."

Wen Xu's desire to leave the show dropped from eighty to fifty.

"Especially Teacher Wen, you're the only host left, so please make the most of the remaining recording!"

Seeing the other person's beautiful, smiling eyes, my desire to quit the show only diminished by twenty percent.

[Wen Xu and Qin Xu, you two are truly destined for each other. The great beauty is gone, so you two should become a couple. I wouldn't mind.]
