Chapter 40: Another Safety Talisman Ruined
Xuan Xia, who was called out, remained calm and unhurried, showing no intention of standing up. She just turned her head toward the director’s direction, which was also where the camera was, “Director, can I participate sitting down?”
Previously, her camera shots had all been side profiles, but this sudden full-face shot undoubtedly delivered a beauty strike to the audience watching the live broadcast.
【She’s really so pretty, damn】
【This beauty lover can’t resist even a little bit!!】
【I think her makeup and hairstyle look so good, please have a beauty blogger recreate it later, I want to learn!】
While the bullet comments were exclaiming over the beauty, the director sitting behind the camera shook his head in response to Xuan Xia’s question.
“Not allowed?” Xuan Xia furrowed her brows slightly, seeking confirmation from the director.
【Director, agree to it! This beauty lover can’t stand even a little disappointment on a beauty’s face!】
【Wishful thinking! Everyone else is standing, and she wants to sit while recording the program.】
The director still shook his head.
The director’s thinking was similar to the bullet comments; everyone recorded the program standing up, so what would it mean if she sat?
Even a beauty can’t have special privileges!
After confirming the answer twice, Xuan Xia nodded and turned to the host, saying, “Then I’ll rest a bit more, please call the next guest.”
Ah, this…
The host could only look to the director for cues.
The director grumbled inwardly, how come they all had to be so troublesome one after another.
Xie Yun’s earlier moment still had some topic potential, but could this one generate a topic too?
Actually, it really could. After the live broadcast, when netizens reviewed it, many mentioned this scene and jokingly called Xuan Xia as acting out her daily slacking self, and even more so, it would be brought up every time in recaps, but the director at this moment didn’t know.
The director felt that enough time had already been wasted, so since she said that, they would proceed to the next one first.
So he gave the host a hand gesture, signaling to move the process forward.
The host immediately smoothly picked up from Xuan Xia’s words with a fluent tongue and naturally introduced the final female guest, An Qi.
As soon as An Qi appeared, the male guests spontaneously clapped again, and even Zhou Shiqing seemed to deliberately oppose Xie Yun and the others, with his clapping motions exaggerated.
The camera didn’t forget to cut to Xie Yun and the other two, focusing on their facial expressions.
Apart from Xie Yun’s puffed-up angry face, the other two looked helplessly amused.
In the bullet comments, Zhou Shiqing’s fans went crazy laughing over his actions.
Xie Yun’s fans grumbled a few sour remarks, but facing the massive base of Zhou Shiqing’s fans, their sour words could only drown in the laughter, not even making a splash.
An Qi had looked around for a long time in the entrance passage, and now coming out, her line of sight couldn’t help lingering a bit longer on Xuan Xia.
Others might not understand, but she knew that Xuan Xia was making time for her, allowing her to appear earlier.
This was the first time she had been cared for like this.
So when taking fixed positions, An Qi deliberately stepped back one step, not to block Xuan Xia and keep her from getting camera shots.
Before proceeding with the process, the host interjected a question: “An Qi also received applause from all the male guests when she appeared, I’m especially curious about how An Qi felt?”
“Felt?” An Qi thought for a moment and told the truth, “Felt overwhelmed by the favor.”
“Hahaha, yes, overwhelmed by the favor, very good.” Then he deliberately said to Xie Yun and the other two, “Too bad you can’t experience this feeling.”
Not surprisingly, he got protests from the three female guests.
The host was delighted after teasing and then said, “Alright, then next, An Qi, talk about your initial impressions of the male guests.”
The host began asking questions according to the process, and An Qi also followed her prepared answers, completing this segment routinely.
As soon as An Qi finished, the host looked at Xuan Xia again.
The host wondered inwardly whether this one would cause more trouble.
But as soon as he called Xuan Xia’s name, before saying anything else, Xuan Xia had already swiftly stood up.
Seeing her so cooperative, the host quickly went through the process.
Xuan Xia also routinely recited her answers and finished this segment.
The two hosts began speaking transition lines to the camera; the next segment was the one Xie Yun had wanted earlier, where the male guests would talk about their initial impressions of the female guests.
After the host announced the next segment, Xuan Xia crossed her legs and sat down again.
The host was a bit speechless, “Xuan Xia, are you resting again?”
Nowadays, artists’ methods for grabbing camera time are truly varied and ingenious.
Xuan Xia nodded yes, and before the host could react further, she looked up and asked An Qi, “Do you want to sit together?”
An Qi was stunned by the question.
Xuan Xia added, “Sit and rest for a bit. There are still many game segments later, so conserve some energy appropriately.”
But An Qi was thinking that she knew her body wasn’t feeling well, that she had deliberately sat down, and that she was deliberately caring for her in this subtle way.
This was the first time since her debut that An Qi truly felt someone directing goodwill toward her.
A thin layer of mist instantly welled up in An Qi’s eyes; if she didn’t remember they were live broadcasting, she might not have held back her tears.
She really was feeling increasingly unwell; when no one cared, she could endure it, but once someone cared, she really couldn’t hold on.
An Qi let out an “Mm” and, disregarding everything else, sat down on the floor following her.
Xuan Xia instinctively reached out to support her.
An Qi accepted her support and softly said “thank you.”
But right after saying it, she froze.
At the same time, Xuan Xia also froze.
So warm.
So hot!
The two looked at each other, seeing the surprise on each other’s faces.
Just as An Qi accepted Xuan Xia’s help, she suddenly felt a stream of warmth enter her body from where Xuan Xia was supporting her, then spread out and circulate through her whole body.
The warmth was very comfortable, instantly washing away her previous chill.
An Qi couldn’t understand it, but her personal experience told her this was abnormal!
As for Xuan Xia, she instantly felt burned by the safety talisman she had placed in her inner pocket.
She couldn’t help but touch the spot where the safety talisman was with her other hand, feeling it warm even through her clothes.
She immediately thought of the last time the safety talisman had been expended.
No way, another safety talisman expended?
The next second, An Qi’s legs gave out, and she crashed into Xuan Xia, the two tumbling into a heap on the spot.
Everyone present: “…………”
Xie Yun’s eyes bulged: These two are playing this move, huh!? Shameless!!
Nowadays, female artists will go to any lengths for a bit more camera time.
The bullet comments were also a chaotic mess.
【Can it be like this? Shipping it, shipping it】
【I told you, shipping everything will only hurt you!】
【Starting to hype CP already? So shameless!!】
【This pair… isn’t impossible…】
【At this moment, their CPs should be the most speechless. Hehe, suddenly want to fast-forward to the love triangle chaos.】
And the two thought to be grabbing camera time were actually the ones who least wanted to face the camera right now.
The looks they exchanged said they had things to discuss privately.
