Chapter 31: Hot Search Domination, The “history-making” Red Carpet Incident
Kiwifruit Screaming Night’s Screaming Red Carpet officially starts at 2:30 p.m.
Jin Xia has great star power and is one of the last few big stars to appear, so when Chi Ye and the others came out, the Screaming Red Carpet had already reached its climax.
On the hot search list, apart from the lingering heat from Meng Yixun’s collapse of persona, almost all are hot search entries for the Screaming Red Carpet.
That is, Brother Meng collapsed a day early; if it were today, it would purely explode the Screaming Night.
“Hiss… so cold.”
The Empress Dowager was originally sitting in the car and only needed to get out when it was time to appear.
But because she couldn’t find a chance to have an “encrypted call” with Chi Ye, she proactively got out.
As a result, just after getting out of the car, the delicate Empress Dowager couldn’t handle it a bit.
Of course, shouting like this on her mouth, but on her charming and delicate little face, there was still a noble smile, with an elegant posture, occasionally nodding and greeting the artists passing by.
Chi Ye glanced at her exposed standard right-angle shoulder, with tender white skin, collarbone like sculpted snowfield ridges, draped in a galaxy, elegant and composed, without any physiological reaction to the cold.
I don’t know how she trained that.
“Xia Xia, why did you come down? It’s so cold, what if you freeze?”
Sister Mi, who had just gone to communicate with the event organizers, came back and saw this scene, her vision went black, and she hurriedly got a hand warmer from a nearby team member.
Chi Ye suddenly realized.
So the hand warmer the Empress Dowager mentioned before was this kind of hand warmer…
“No need, no need, Sister Mi, I’m not cold!”
Seeing someone approaching, the Empress Dowager’s little face changed.
Chi Ye got the hint, snatched the hand warmer from Sister Mi’s hand: “Let me do it, let me be the sun for once.”
Sister Mi: “?”
You kid want to steal my job?
The people around looked over frequently, their gazes toward this side vaguely odd.
Curious, gossip, disgusted, disdainful, sneering…
In fact, since Chi Ye came out with Jin Xia, many in the industry had been pointing and whispering about this side.
Obviously, the two “catfight” incidents that happened in a short time had already spread like wildfire.
—This incident once again proves that there are no secrets in the industry.
“What are you looking at?”
Facing those gazes full of strangeness, Chi Ye remained unfazed and looked back: “Never seen someone living off a woman’s earnings?!”
Everyone: “?!”
Damn, can he really say that out loud?!
Shen Qing Yu, hiding in the car not far away with only the window open to “spy” on this side, cursed out loud: “He’s really shameless!”
Peng Chen, sitting in the car, glanced at him, his face slightly displeased.
Shen Qing Yu was startled.
He forgot, this one also took a shortcut.
He paused, changed the topic: “How many days have they known each other? No need to worry.”
Peng Chen looked at him: “Did Yue Na get back to you?”
Shen Qing Yu nodded, delighted: “My agent gave word, things have changed a bit… Yue Na Headquarters is already very dissatisfied with Chi Ye, he’s done, no one can save him.”
Peng Chen fell silent upon hearing this: “No value left, reputation ruined, indeed no value. Actually… he’s quite pitiful.”
Pitiful? Pitiful when you bullied him even harder than me back then?
Shen Qing Yu scoffed inwardly; Peng Chen was good in every way except too hypocritical.
Peng Chen didn’t know Shen Qing Yu’s thoughts; the “sadness” was fleeting, his face calm: “I can team up with you guys, or cooperate with you forming cliques to abuse fans using Chi Ye, but… that movie with Meng Yixun and the resources for Director Liu’s new play…”
“Don’t worry, the resources you tore are all invested by Yue Na, guaranteed.”
“That’s it… I won’t team up with those wannabes like Zhang Xianming, walk the red carpet with me later.”
Hearing that the “binding” with Peng Chen was finally settled, Shen Qing Yu was ecstatic inside: “Peng Ge, take it slow, see you later!”
Peng Chen’s face wasn’t good, ignoring Shen Qing Yu completely, and went straight back to his red carpet car.
Shen Qing Yu didn’t mind; everyone in the industry knew Peng Chen looked fine, had good business ability, but had one flaw: too short!
At 170 cm, like Meng Yixun also at 170, they were both publicly acknowledged “little giants” in the industry!
The two little giants always walked red carpets alone if possible, never partnering with anyone too tall.
With Shen Qing Yu’s 178 cm height, officially lied as 185, padded with height-increasing insoles, for Peng Chen to agree to “team up on the red carpet” with him was a huge decision.
……
“Teacher Chi, what is she drinking?”
On the other side, the Empress Dowager maintained her noble elegant posture, but her peach blossom eyes had locked onto the milk tea cup held by a certain female star.
Pretending to be puzzled: “It looks pretty ordinary.”
Chi Ye glanced sideways; that female star was probably a little flower with a foodie persona, just took milk tea from her assistant, probably about to set up her persona later.
“Should be the British royal exclusive spring water.”
Jin Xia: “?”
She glanced at Chi Ye: “Not right, spring water doesn’t have this brand.”
Chi Ye gave her a sideways look: “You want to drink it?”
The Empress Dowager said seriously: “I only drink pure natural pollution-free exclusive spring water.”
“No problem, I’ll tear off the packaging later and stick a spring water label on it.”
Jin Xia’s eyes lit up, then hesitated: “……Is that okay?”
“Hmm, not really good, forget it then.”
Jin Xia: “……!”
Wanted to put hands on hips, but remembering they were outside, she kept her face straight and coquettishly called: “Teacher Chi!”
“If you want to drink, just say so, every time you act like spies making contact…”
Jin Xia grabbed Chi Ye’s clothes corner, her peach blossom eyes fluttering as she stared at him, continuing to call: “Teacher Chi!”
Chi Ye couldn’t resist this, spoiling her: “Alright alright, I’ll buy you one.”
“Mm!”
“By the way, have you never had milk tea before?” Chi Ye asked curiously.
“Does pure milk tea count?”
Chi Ye shook his head: “Oh, that doesn’t count, that’s too healthy; normal milk tea is full of additives and sweetness fruit essence.”
Jin Xia: “…”
“I’ll order one for you too, sneakily drink it after picking up the award later.”
“Mm!”
The Empress Dowager nodded heavily first, then corrected: “Teacher Chi, the words ‘sneakily’ aren’t very elegant.”
Chi Ye gave a sideways look: “……Then please, later, secretly brew fragrant milk tea, not letting idle talk fall into the human world.”
The Empress Dowager was greatly satisfied: “Mm mm, this works, this is good!”
Chi Ye: “…”
While the two were talking, a commotion suddenly came from the red carpet.
Then, three muscular men in tight leopard-print cutout clothes walked onto the stage, wildly twisting and dancing to the BGM.
Chi Ye: “…”
Jin Xia: “……?”
Chi Ye sighed: “The bros are still edging.”
“Teacher Chi.”
The Empress Dowager felt her eyes suffered a magic attack, turned her delicate pretty face to Chi Ye: “What are they doing?”
“Edging.”
Chi Ye replied casually.
Jin Xia’s peach blossom eyes seemed to understand: “So this is edging.”
“What’s wrong?”
“So disgusting.”
Chi Ye: “…”
Jin Xia continued puzzled: “Do people really like watching this disgusting performance?”
Chi Ye paused, very sincerely: “I usually like watching girls edge.”
“Oh.”
The Empress Dowager suddenly realized: “So you like being disgusted by girls like this.”
Chi Ye: “?”
Then disgust me more.
“Alright, I need to go prepare.”
Jin Xia fluttered her peach blossom eyes; after finishing the “confidential” talk, she saw Sister Mi’s gesture not far away, turned back and waved to Chi Ye: “Teacher Chi, remember to buy it for me!”
“Don’t worry, guaranteed.”
Chi Ye patted his chest.
“Mm mm! See you later!”
The Empress Dowager happily skipped toward her red carpet car.
Chi Ye watched her get in the car, then called Keke over to help find nearby milk tea shops and order three cups of milk tea at the right time.
Keke nodded, logged into Meituan, and started checking.
—She wasn’t interested in these edging men either.
Fortunately, this edging didn’t last too long.
Soon, after two first-tier big stars passed, the media and fans around the red carpet were all watching in anticipation.
Rise boy group disbanded until now, the two most popular members were about to appear together on the red carpet, “century co-frame”!
Chi Ye heard the noise, looked up, and saw Peng Chen and Shen Qing Yu getting out of the car together, then smiling as they walked onto the red carpet.
Click click click.
For a moment, fans screamed and flashes flickered, the red carpet atmosphere reaching another small climax.
On the red carpet.
After getting out of the car, Shen Qing Yu walked side by side with Peng Chen, feeling the surrounding flashes and fans’ cheering, his mood increasingly excited.
The only imperfection was, to match the little giant, he originally needed two height-increasing insoles, but this time only one.
Looking at Peng Chen again, damn, he looked taller than him; 170 padded to 180!
Did you book the whole height-increasing insoles factory?
Thinking this, Shen Qing Yu got distracted, and accidentally stumbled.
Who knew this stumble made Peng Chen, who was already padded with N height-increasing insoles and walking unsteadily, stagger and fall flat on his face!
With a bang, Peng Chen fell sideways, one shoe flying off.
“Whoosh whoosh,” at least four or five height-increasing insoles flew out.
Someone hadn’t reacted yet, and got solidly hit in the face by an insole.
Everyone: “?!”
With a “whoa,” the scene was dumbfounded for a second.
Then, flashes went crazy.
“Peng Chen fell!”
“Brother, are you okay? What did you do, Shen Qing Yu!”
“What the hell hit my face!”
“Who pulled their pants pocket?! So smelly?!”
The scene was chaos; Chi Ye watched dumbfounded from the side.
Bro, how did it turn into biochemical attack?!
“You okay? Peng Ge, you okay?”
On the red carpet, Shen Qing Yu was scared stunned, reacted and hurried to help Peng Chen up.
Peng Chen was trembling all over, face flushed red, unsure if from the fall or anger at the insoles flying out.
He shakily signaled Shen Qing Yu with his eyes: What are you standing there for? Go pick up my shoe!
Shen Qing Yu froze, face instantly embarrassed.
What do you mean?
Make me pick up your stinky insoles?
Who the hell are you looking down on?
Anger rose inside, but seeing Peng Chen’s murderous glare, he calmed down.
Gotta keep binding with him later… pick them up, get used to it!
He stood up, full of embarrassed, jogged over bending to look for Peng Chen’s insoles.
Got two, a pungent sour stench hit his face, making Shen Qing Yu’s eyes roll.
“Urp!”
Cursing inside, why is there a historical smell too; damn Peng Chen, you don’t wash your feet?
Still communicating with the media and audience outside: pointing to an area, “Pass it along, trouble to pass it!”
“What what, don’t come over!”
Whoosh.
Everyone instinctively scattered.
Chi Ye was nearby, protectively guarding his shoes: “What are you looking at? Looking for food? Go go, I don’t have any!”
Shen Qing Yu: “…”
Chi Ye, you must die!
He gritted his teeth, turned to search elsewhere.
The surrounding media went wild, snapping photos crazily.
“Don’t shoot first, stop shooting!”
Shen Qing Yu, sweating profusely, waved to stop the media, but obviously no one listened.
Peng Chen’s height-increasing insoles flung out four or five on site, what big news!
Shen Qing Yu gnashed his teeth in anger, but no choice, hurriedly found three stinky insoles and rushed back.
Peng Chen’s face no better, evolved from red to purple-red, from yellow race to red race, haphazardly put on his insoles, didn’t wait for Shen Qing Yu, skipped the interview, turned and left.
“Hey, wait for me!”
Shen Qing Yu hurried after.
Peng Chen’s steps staggered again—only three insoles recovered, walking unevenly, not adapted!
Stopped to steady himself, suddenly glimpsed Chi Ye watching him from below.
Peng Chen: “…”
Chi Ye: “…”
After a long time, Chi Ye blurted: “How does one fall turn into a limp?”
Damn!
Peng Chen itched with anger, but ignored Chi Ye; a wannabe, giving him any shot was mercy.
Turned and limped away quickly.
“Later still teaming up with Zhang Xianming and those three, you promised!”
Shen Qing Yu ran over like wind, urgently reminding in Peng Chen’s ear.
“Team up my ass!”
Peng Chen cursed inwardly; gotta think crisis public relations quick, who cares about that?
—His official reported height is 178!
……
“Hey! Why did he just leave!?”
Meanwhile.
Nearby, Zhang Xianming and the other two, waiting eagerly for Big Brother Peng and Big Brother Shen to team up for some popularity, were dumbfounded.
The bros edged all day in winter, all for this popularity bite?
Seeing Peng Chen “break the agreement,” the other two were okay, but Zhang Xianming panicked.
He’d fallen to edging for a living, preparing to transform to live commerce; this was his only chance to advertise his “career”!
Thinking this, he strode onto the chaotic red carpet, greeting the crowd below: “Hello everyone, I’m Rise’s Zhang Xianming; horny Zhang is also surnamed Zhang!”
“February 15, my ‘Xianming Chicken Feet’ brand will officially launch on Xiaohongshu and Douyin mall, both literature and sports, promoting chicken feet culture! Hope everyone supports, stick to Xianming Chicken Feet, made with conscience, eat with peace…!”
The other two Rise members, who reacted and walked to Zhang Xianming’s side, were stunned.
On-site fans and media were stunned.
The Screaming Red Carpet chief director was dumbfounded.
“???”
Reacting, the chief director trembled with anger and lack of oxygen, pointing at Zhang Xianming cursing: “Him! Him!! Damn!! Where did this beggar come from, get him off! Get him off!”
“Quick quick! Someone, carry him out!”
“What damn Xianming Chicken Feet, my NMB!”
“Crazy?!”
A crowd rushed up, but Zhang Xianming acted faster, opened his bag, reached in for a big handful of chicken feet!
Threw them down to the crowd, shouting: “Stick to Xianming Chicken Feet! Rise members all love it!!”
“Try them, Xianming Chicken Feet, Chinese people’s good chicken feet!”
“……!”
His gaze paused, spotted Chi Ye in the front row of the crowd, eyes lit up, threw a handful of chicken feet: “Captain captain, try my family’s chicken feet! Super tasty! Remember to promote for me after!”
Chi Ye: “?!”
He instinctively caught two chicken feet, one in each hand, then reacted, hurriedly put down his hands.
The whole person completely numbed!
Unbelievable, inconceivable, dumbfounded!
With you, it’s my blessing!
Bang!
The chief director saw Zhang Xianming still wildly promoting his chicken feet, rolled eyes in anger, cursing: “Cut the live broadcast! Cut the live source!”
“You! Damn!! Die!! All die for me!!”
On-site security rushed up collectively, forcibly dragged Zhang Xianming off the red carpet, and carried out the other two Rise members who didn’t do this.
The two had dead horse expressions, blood pressure soaring to 1000!
Zhang Xianming, WCNM!
Here, though the director reacted fast, sending security immediately, the signal cut was too late; this scene was already live broadcasted, Kiwifruit Platform quaked, bullet comments like rain.
「？？？？？」
「Damn, what happened?」
「Rise cracked me up, what “god group” is this! Per capita maniac?」
「hhh, laughing so hard downstairs came knocking.」
「Zhang Xianming gone mad? For live commerce, no face left?」
「Rivals the red carpet forced kiss, a red carpet incident!」
「Rise so full of antics!」
「Rise century mega team-up? Teamed up what?」
「Teamed up a big turd!」
Chi Ye reacted now, looking at the messy red carpet scene, amazed, feeling this red carpet show was destined to “go down in history.”
What did Kiwifruit invite Rise for this time?
“I am Rise’s last decency.”
Chi Ye shook his head with a sigh.
Nearby Keke silently handed him her mobile phone.
Chi Ye puzzled, took it and looked.
It showed the current Weibo hot search entries, from one to ten.
#Peng Chen Biochemical Weapon#
#Peng Chen Suspected On-Site Shitting#
#Shen Qing Yu Fumigated to Vomit#
#Shen Qing Yu Deliberately Trips Peng Chen#
#Zhang Xianming Caught#

Finally, even the absent collapsed big star, Zhang Xianming’s live commerce senior Jiang Yi’s new hot search: Jiang Yi went live saying Zhang Xianming’s chicken feet are all technology, suggests everyone buy “Jiang Yi Chicken Feet” in his live room, that’s the real Rise favorite chicken feet!
Chi Ye watched this, speechless for a long time, silent.
Rise’s always bent waist completely broke.
