Chapter 203: Stop Meddling With Us
Xuan Xia instantly became the focus of the crowd.
Ignoring the gazes of the other guests, Xuan Xia turned her head and saw Wen Zhu, whose mental state had already recovered.
After Wen Zhu asked her question, her line of sight stuck to Xuan Xia.
Xuan Xia couldn’t quite understand the intentions revealed in Wen Zhu’s eyes, only knowing they were meaningful.
Pursing her lips and hooking the corner of her mouth, Xuan Xia asked indifferently, “Teacher Wen Zhu, are you also interested in the mysterious flavor?”
Wen Zhu immediately said, “I don’t. I just think Teacher Xuan Xia should reconsider. What if you choose wrong and go hungry in the afternoon? I think choosing Chinese style is the safest. How about Teacher Xuan Xia considers Chinese style? Teacher Zhou should like Chinese style, right?”
At the end of her question, Wen Zhu intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Zhou Shiqing.
Xuan Xia raised her eyebrows slightly.
In the live broadcast room, ever since Wen Zhu loudly announced what Xuan Xia wanted to choose, the camera cut to a close-up, and the online viewers heard every word of Wen Zhu’s suggestion to Xuan Xia without missing a beat.
[Xuan Xia actually wants to choose the mysterious flavor? Don’t be silly, just pick the one that suits your taste.]
[I really agree with Wen Zhu. Don’t choose randomly; if you choose wrong, it’s not just one person going hungry.]
[Wen Zhu is actually pretty warm. Feels a bit like the big sister in the family, deeply afraid that the younger brother and sister will choose the wrong answer and go hungry, then kindly reminds them. Kinda warmed my heart.]
However, at the scene…
“Do you think that’s important?” Zhou Shiqing frowned, glanced at Wen Zhu, and said sarcastically, “You think it’s what you think, not what we think.”
After saying that, feeling it wasn’t enough, he unceremoniously added, “The word ‘think’ is pretty good. I think you interfering less with us would be better.”
“…” Wen Zhu was directly stunned, her eyes widening a full circle.
Wasn’t her intention also for Zhou Shiqing???
Zhou Shiqing was famously sharp-tongued; Wen Zhu had only heard before that there were countless victims, but she didn’t expect to become one today.
This feeling was really not great.
Even though Wen Zhu warned herself there was a camera, she still couldn’t hold back and darkened her expression.
In her heart, she bitterly cursed Zhou Shiqing: how could such an ungrateful person still be so comfortable in the industry? Someone hurry up and get him out of the circle!
[Ah my god, who can sew Zhou Shiqing’s mouth shut? Wen Zhu is about to be made cry by him! Feel sorry for Wen Zhu!]
[Wen Zhu’s face change is visible to the naked eye, looking so aggrieved. How could Zhou Shiqing be like this?]
[Doesn’t Zhou Shiqing usually get beaten? Wen Zhu was kindly trying to help, and he snaps back like that? Not to mention anything else, she’s still a girl!]
[I really can’t understand how someone like Zhou Shiqing can still be popular. Hurry up and flop already?]
Seeing quite a few bullet comments condemning Zhou Shiqing, his fans immediately spoke up to retort, with attitudes just like Zhou Shiqing’s.
[What are you dogs barking about? Zhou Shiqing is just like that. Zhou Shiqing is popular. Not convinced? Either hold it in or hang yourself, stop playing the gender card.]
Xuan Xia also noticed Wen Zhu’s instant face change and was about to say something to ease things and make an excuse for Zhou Shiqing when An Qi beside her spoke up for her.
An Qi mustered her courage and explained to Wen Zhu, “It’s not just Xuan Xia who wants to choose. We few discussed it, and we all want to choose it.”
Wen Zhu: “…”
She hadn’t paid proper attention to An Qi before, but now she had to notice there was such a person.
Xuan Xia turned her head and smiled at An Qi.
An Qi, as if encouraged, first returned a smile to Xuan Xia, then spoke to Wen Zhu again: “Besides, since the program group provided this gameplay, they definitely hope someone chooses all three tasks, so the audience has something to watch.”
[My good girl An Qi makes so much sense.]
[Exactly right. If everyone conservatively chooses, what are we viewers supposed to watch?]
[Qi Miao Summer scores big!! Sure enough, only girls together are the best to ship!]
[Actually, thinking the other way around, Wen Zhu is indeed a bit nosy. Zhou Shiqing’s retort wasn’t wrong. And flipping it again, if my boyfriend could unconditionally snap back at a green tea like that to protect me, I’d really be very happy.]
[Sister upstairs +1. I super like Zhou Shiqing’s behavior too. Who cares what you think, it’s none of our business, who are you, stop interfering with us.]
[Ah, put like that, he really has such boyfriend power.]
The bullet comments had just been condemning Zhou Shiqing, but unexpectedly, the tide turned in an instant.
More and more people spoke up, saying they wanted an unconditional boyfriend who sides with them, preferably one who looks like Zhou Shiqing.
And at the scene where bullet comments couldn’t be seen, after An Qi spoke up for Xuan Xia, Gu Sun also joined the ranks opposing Wen Zhu.
He warmly echoed An Qi, “An Qi is right, we discussed it.”
Wen Zhu: “…”
She had to glance at Gu Sun again, her expression growing even uglier.
This was another ungrateful man!
At this moment, Wen Zhu felt like the whole world was against her.
Fortunately, the program group still remembered to act humanely, and the host immediately changed the topic, “So Zhou Shiqing, Xuan Xia, and Gu Sun, An Qi, your two groups have decided to choose the mysterious flavor, right?”
An Qi, holding Xuan Xia’s arm, answered for her, “Yes, we’ll choose the mysterious flavor.”
The host “hissed,” “Sounds like you’ve discussed it?”
An Qi: “Yeah, we formed an alliance.”
“Alliance?”
The host and the other guests were all stunned, then started whispering to each other.
“Can you play by forming alliances like that?”
Someone immediately asked the director group: “Director, can we form alliances?”
Someone else said: “Right, alliances are good. How about we form one too? More people, more strength, no fear of failing the mission then.”
With the alliance topic, the atmosphere among the guests livened up at once.
The chief director heard the guests’ words and asked the staff beside him for the megaphone.
Just as he was brainstorming how to phrase it, Zhou Shiqing coolly spoke up: “It wasn’t said before that alliances aren’t allowed, so Director, don’t add rules temporarily just to make things hard for us.”
The other guests quickly echoed in agreement.
The director, about to raise the megaphone, was stuck—not knowing whether to speak or put it down—and could only look at Zhou Shiqing sullenly.
The host also watched the director group; after confirming the chief director wouldn’t add rules, he followed the process and had Xuan Xia’s two groups come collect the task cards.
With leaders taking the initiative, everyone else gradually made decisions and started collecting task cards.
Wen Zhu adjusted her mindset, turned to her partner Song Yuhan, and asked: “Song Yuhan, what should we choose? Do you prefer Chinese style or Western style?”
Song Yuhan was silent for a moment, “Actually, I also want to choose the mysterious flavor.” Then, bypassing Wen Zhu, he asked Zhou Shiqing beside them: “Zhou Shiqing, do you still accept alliances?”
Not just Zhou Shiqing, everyone who heard looked at Song Yuhan.
Wen Zhu’s expression was about to crack.
What’s wrong with these dog men?!
