Chapter 80: The Tough Late Night, Hard-working Xiao Chi
“Let these two brothers have their fun acting.”
Chi Ye watched the two evenly matched opponents, shaking his head with a sigh.
“Teacher Chi, your hand isn’t covering it tight enough, I can still see!”
Jin Xia turned her head, a pair of charming peach blossom eyes peering through Chi Ye’s fingers at the other, her eyelashes brushing his palm like a little brush, fluttering: “I’m not clean anymore.”
Chi Ye: “…”
He suddenly remembered something and pulled out his mobile phone: “I’ll give Director Li a phone call.”
“What’s wrong?”
Shang Youshu watched strangely from the side, while also feeling regretful—why give me sugar when I’m covered in oil?!
Chi Ye, don’t you consider the occasion?!
“It’s nothing.” Chi Ye waved his hand: “I just remembered the car rented by the program team seems to be out of fuel. Let them drive it over to check, probably after five minutes it can run another three hundred kilometers.”
Shang Youshu: “…”
You’re really vicious.
Meanwhile.
Opposite side.
After Jiang Cheng pinched his nose and mustered the strength to eat shit, he finally finished the “thesis defense” in front of him cleanly, but his mouth still kept surging with all sorts of strange smells.
He held back from vomiting out loud before daring to lift his head and look at Teacher Wen, suddenly stunned: “Wen… Mom Wen, you… why aren’t you eating anymore?”
In Wen Lijuan’s plate, the blue cheese was still in the state of having only been eaten one bite earlier.
“Click.”
Teacher Wen took a photo with her mobile phone, then turned back in surprise: “Eat? For something this disgusting, sis just takes a photo to show off, you didn’t eat it all, did you?”
Jiang Cheng: “…”
“Then the shot…”
“Oh, sis just told PD to film others first, we’ll hide the cheese later.”
Jiang Cheng: “…”
He turned his head and rushed to the trash can to vomit: “Vomit… vomit… vomit!”
“…Don’t vomit towards me, I’m still eating!”
Chu Luan Yu was on the verge of tears, the trash can was right under her feet, and with Jiang Cheng vomiting like that, all the shit smell rushed at her!
“…”
“This child is just too honest, you should’ve told PD Teacher in advance.”
Teacher Wen shook her head repeatedly, reminding Jiang Cheng’s PD: “Don’t film anymore, it’s all exposed.”
Jiang Cheng, who had just lifted his head, went dark before his eyes and vomited again.
Fuck your mother Wen Lijuan, I trusted you so much, respected you as a senior in the show-off world.
How could you betray me like this?!
The program team’s guests’ first dinner in Paris ended amid Jiang Cheng’s continuous vomiting sounds.
After eating, it was already ten o’clock at night. The program team didn’t force everyone to go out now, stipulating that tonight everyone arrange tomorrow’s travel itinerary before temporarily evacuating, leaving only the recording photographers in the main living room to record.
“Let’s discuss, everyone share your ideas, where do you want to go tomorrow?”
Teacher Wen regained her poise, unceremoniously sitting in the main seat, asking the children below.
“I want to go see Champs-Élysées.”
Shang Youshu raised her hand, cupping her hands: “Novels mention it, saying it symbolizes romance, I want to experience it.”
“We have to check in at the Eiffel Tower, right?”
Chu Luan Yu suggested.
“I want to go challenge the Paris martial arts gym.” Xiang You had changed into another outfit, wearing Bruce Lee’s classic yellow training uniform, swinging nunchucks a few times, nearly hitting Jiang Cheng’s back of the head: “Hah hah, I’ll fight~! I’ve practiced martial arts, want to see the strength of Paris martial artists!”
Everyone: “…”
Jiang Cheng gave a side-eye: “Stop swinging, it’s hitting my face… hey!”
Before he finished speaking, a stick swung right over; if he hadn’t dodged quickly, it would’ve hit his mouth.
“You… vomit… did your nunchucks fall in the toilet? What stench?!”
He originally wanted to scold Xiang You, but the blue cheese’s aftereffect was too strong; now any whiff of strange smell made him dry heave uncontrollably.
“Ah, I put them with those few high heels of mine, does it smell?”
Xiang You smiled: “Embarrassed.”
Jiang Cheng: “…”
Xiang You, fuck your mother.
“Um, little Jin Xia, where do you want to go?”
In this program, the only familiar faces Teacher Wen knew were Jin Xia and Shang Youshu, these two popular first-tier stars. Seeing Empress Dowager not speaking for a while, she asked.
“Me?” Jin Xia was a bit sleepy, listlessly saying: “Wherever Teacher Chi goes, I’ll go.”
“You two go to Champs-Élysées together…” Shang Youshu starry-eyed: “Really… so shippable…”
“Cough cough, reminder, we’re still recording the program.”
You Han showed a smile he thought was handsome—after joining this program, he’d been frequently glancing at Shang Youshu. Clearly, he’d heard the story of this female top streamer who privately liked reading dominant CEO novels.
Likes reading dominant CEO?
That’s him!
Shang Youshu, immersed in the sugar-shipping atmosphere, suddenly shivered, feeling like she’d been pricked by something, quickly restrained her smile and shifted her butt.
What dirty thing, don’t touch me ahhhh!!
“We’re guest stars, you guys decide, we’ll follow you.”
Chi Ye said he didn’t care, as long as it wasn’t too tiring.
Wen Lijuan and others, seeing him say that, didn’t pursue further.
The resident guests then started discussing.
When everyone finalized a few locations and handed them to the program team, the program team suddenly notified: tomorrow go to the discussed locations, but all locations must be checked in within one day.
Everyone: “?!”
“Won’t that exhaust us to death? That’s our next three days’ itinerary!”
Jiang Cheng immediately shouted.
“Because you temporarily have no travel expenses, tomorrow expenses will be placed at your specified locations. Only by going to the locations and checking in successfully can you obtain the subsequent travel expenses.”
Director Li said expressionlessly, seeing everyone still not getting it, inwardly cursing truly not as easy to manage as Jian Ni’s batch.
Proactively reminding: “Everyone can group up, that way you can get expenses in one day and play freely.”
“Oh~”
Everyone finally reacted, looking at each other.
Group up?
Yang Shuo had already gone back; after all, without a contract, he couldn’t participate in formal recording.
So now including guest stars Chi Ye and Jin Xia, total eight people… they picked four locations, easy to divide.
“Then two per group. Everyone discuss later which location you’re going to, depart early tomorrow morning.”
Teacher Wen finalized it and directly assigned her partner: “Arthur will group with me.”
“Ah…”
Jiang Cheng originally wanted to group with Shang Youshu, but hearing that, didn’t dare refute, could only nod: “Alright then.”
“Then I’ll group with Shang Youshu.”
You Han decided to take the initiative.
Chu Luan Yu looked at Chi Ye, then at Xiang You, suddenly realizing none were the partner she wanted… picking any would be upsetting.
“What are you looking at?” Jin Xia’s peach blossom eyes filled with displeasure: “Teacher Chi is grouping with me.”
Chu Luan Yu: “…”
Fine, yours, all yours.
She lowered her head and stopped looking at them.
“Hehe, take care of me.” Xiang You clomped over in high heels to Chu Luan Yu’s side, starting to twist his body on site: “Tomorrow, take you to challenge!”
Chu Luan Yu: I’ll really thank you.
Thus, the simple grouping ended. Everyone received their tomorrow’s locations and final meeting spot, then returned to their rooms to rest.
Chi Ye and others arrived in France on the first day, slept an afternoon nap, not sleepy at all now.
But no choice, had to adjust to the time difference quickly.
Lying in bed for hours, Chi Ye couldn’t fall asleep no matter what, flipped several times, finally no choice, following past life’s habit, took out bluetooth earphones to listen to music to sleep.
But after turning on bluetooth and putting on the earphones, he found his mobile phone had no sound.
Stunned, just about to plug the earphones back in to reconnect, suddenly an AI reading voice came from the earphones.
【His thumb caressed her cheek: “Answer it.”】
【Wen Ying suddenly bit his lower lip, the bloody taste spreading in their mouths, Ji Tinghe narrowed his eyes in pain…】
【Wen Ying hazily heard him murmur by her ear: “Remember, you’re forever my private property.”】
【Wen Ying froze all over, like ice, bone-chillingly cold, her heart sinking straight down, shaking her head, crying uncontrollably.】
【”Ji Tinghe, you’ll regret it.”】
【”Regret?” He parted her legs ****** amid her pained cry bit her trembling eye corner: “Welcome to hell, my little rose.”】
【…】
Chi Ye dumbfounded, incredulously listening to all sorts of tiger-wolf words in the earphones that could never pass review.
Mind blown.
Connected?!
Connected to the mod?!
He stared wide-eyed, swiped down the phone page, saw 【Bluetooth connected: shang】
Chi Ye: “…”
…
Next door.
Shang Youshu, showering with some private site’s private novel playing aloud, paused, feeling the outside sound suddenly gone, stunned for a moment, a bit scared, shouted outside: “Who?!”
After waiting a bit with no response, she opened the steamy door, poked her head out, looked left and right, stretched out her white tender arm still dripping water to take the mobile phone from the rack.
“What are you doing, I just heard the key moment… aiya…”
She complained, tapped the phone to replay.
But still no sound.
“Hm?”
She paused, suddenly realized something, her face instantly flushed red at unimaginable speed, quickly swiped down the phone, saw bluetooth prompt: 【Connected to bluetooth】.
Eyes went black, nearly fainted.
Aaaahhhh!!!
Dying dying dying!
Chi Ye! What are you doing!!
Before fainting, she disconnected the bluetooth.
…
Next day.
Chi Ye and Shang Youshu both emerged from their rooms with dark circles under their eyes.
The two met in the living room, silently staring at each other.
After a while, Shang Youshu pretended casual: “Morning.”
Chi Ye: “Morning, little rose.”
Shang Youshu: “?!”
Chi Ye said solemnly: “Welcome to hell!”
“Don’t say it! Don’t say it!!”
Shang Youshu mortified to death, hurriedly covered his mouth—the fairy sister wouldn’t normally lose composure like this, but now wasn’t normal!
“What do you want, tell me, just don’t tell anyone… please.”
Her bright eyes full of pleading, because… listening to color novel late at night and… being heard by someone at the same time, really… really suffocating!
And that person was a guy!
One of her fave CPs!
Chi Ye broke free of her “restraint,” shaking his head: “Give me another balance bike.”
“Deal!”
“That’s it.”
Chi Ye turned towards the breakfast area.
But Shang Youshu still uneasy, worriedly followed: “Promise, one balance bike… don’t tell anyone… including Jin Xia!”
“No.”
Chi Ye shook his head without hesitation: “I won’t hold anything back from her.”
Shang Youshu: “?!”
So sweet… no, so salty!!
Salty from tears!
“You promised, you can’t break your word!”
“…Stop following me, I fear others misunderstand.”
Shang Youshu stopped, staring at his back gnashing teeth, crying: “What earphones… wuwuwu… could connect from so far…”
Chi Ye turned, waved at her: “Huaqiangbei, awesome!”
Shang Youshu: “…”
Tomorrow endorse Huaqiangbei!
…
Chi Ye was still very trustworthy, of course, premise being Empress Dowager didn’t proactively ask him.
But seeing Empress Dowager so enthusiastic today, she probably wasn’t planning to ask how he slept last night.
He slept last night…
Very badly.
Tired, tired, tired.
All Shang Youshu’s fault!
Listened already, why cut me off! Made me search for resources late night, I’m done!
Chi Ye grumbled inwardly, his resentment towards Shang Youshu no less than hers towards him.
“Teacher Chi, what’s wrong?”
Everyone came to the restaurant to eat, Jin Xia noticed Chi Ye a bit listless, concerned: “Didn’t rest well?”
“Didn’t rest well.”
Chi Ye just said it when he saw Shang Youshu across suddenly lift her head, looking at him terrified, shaking head nonstop.
“Time difference not adjusted.”
Chi Ye rubbed his eyes: “Go wash my face later.”
“Then don’t go out today.”
Empress Dowager said softly: “Rest a day.”
“Can’t rest, signed the contract.”
“No problem, I’ll communicate!”
Chi Ye: “…”
He glanced at Empress Dowager’s stunningly beautiful little face, honestly, usually he didn’t think much, but today for some reason, it itched.
Fuck, before departing later, go back for a cold shower.
All fucking Shang Youshu’s fault!
Listening to what color novel for no reason fuck!
Jin Xia didn’t notice his gaze, still muttering: “I originally wanted to take you to today…”
Listed a bunch of places.
Chi Ye composed himself, unhesitatingly: “Go, wherever you want, I’ll go with you!”
Spoiling her.
“Really?” Jin Xia indeed very happy, peach blossom eyes narrowed into crescents, coquettishly: “Then today, I’ll be your guide.”
Don’t mention guide, please…
Chi Ye shivered, hurriedly nodded: “Yes yes yes, Jin guide, leave it to you.”
Shang Youshu across suspiciously eyed Chi Ye, glanced at his lower body.
“…”
Ah, I want to die!!
“Mm!”
Empress Dowager full of confidence, even her usually dawdling eating speed quickened.
Half hour later.
Everyone gathered, gestured goodbye to each other, Jin Xia and Chi Ye also headed to today’s first stop—Champs-Élysées.
Two updates today.
