Looking at the spirited young man, Shen Lin was the first to praise him.
“To be able to create something at this level on the spot—he must be one of those people the heavens personally spoon-feed talent to.”
“Your big brother is probably going to spend the next three days bragging to everyone he meets about having such an incredible little brother.”
After praising him, Shen Lin didn’t forget to praise Xie Tangning as well. “Little Sister’s dancing was amazing too! She’s every bit as good as a professional dancer!”
He was determined to treat them equally. After all, if you rounded things up, the two of them were both his younger siblings. Shen Lin firmly believed in showing no favoritism.
The others were just as generous with their praise. Even Wu Weixiang and Shen Hao, who usually loved nothing more than picking on Xie Changyu, had nothing but compliments for him.
After being praised to their hearts’ content, the siblings proudly lifted their chins and stretched their necks.
They looked exactly like a pair of pet cats showing off. Liang Jiaqing couldn’t resist reaching out and pinching Xie Tangning’s cheeks.
“Baby Ningning~ How come you aren’t my little sister? Why are you so cuuute~”
Xie Tangning immediately demonstrated her high emotional intelligence. “How am I not?~ Sis Qing~ We’re obviously sisters by different fathers and mothers!”
Liang Jiaqing burst out laughing. In the end, she ruffled Xie Tangning’s fluffy hair. “Ningning’s right. From today onward, we’re sisters by different fathers and mothers!”
Xie Tangning shouted with great gusto, “Big Sis~”
The cry made Liang Jiaqing so happy that she hurriedly answered, “Little Sis~”
With her plan successful, Xie Tangning immediately turned toward Monkey Bro and began gloating.
“Hey, Liang, did you hear that?”
“From today on, I’m your great-aunt. Go on, call me that!”
Nobody could resist taking advantage of a good friend over forms of address—not even Xie Tangning.
Liang Zhou pressed his lips together and rolled his eyes at her. Not daring to provoke the little sister Ms. Liang had just claimed, he redirected his fire toward Xie Changyu.
“Second Brother Xie, you’re really slipping!”
“Your little sister got stolen right in front of you, and you didn’t even react!? Watch out, Brother Lu is going to give you a beating when you get home!”
Xie Changyu decided to end the game in one move. “How dare a nephew speak to his elders like that! Your aunt and I are the same generation, which means you’re a generation below me!”
“Try stirring things up again, and you’ll be the one getting beaten later!”
Having brought it upon himself, Liang Zhou fell silent. Then he channeled his inner monkey and put on a full monkey act for everyone.
(Leaping up and down)(screeching and shrieking)(snatching dried fruit from Little Fatty’s hands)(baring his teeth at Shen Hao)(beating his chest and roaring at Shen Lin)(hissing and baring his teeth at Wu Weixiang)(kicking Xie Changyu in the butt)(singing at Xie Tangning)(laughing maniacally right in front of Su Xiaoye)(helping Xie Wanwan close her jaw after it dropped in shock)(turning on his heel and narrowly escaping Liang Jiaqing)
After going completely berserk, the kid even gave everyone an extremely formal curtain call.
Everyone: “……”
Liang Jiaqing squeezed her eyes shut. Her toes had already dug out a three-bedroom apartment.
Why was Liang Zhou the one acting crazy, yet she was the one who felt the most embarrassed?!
Why did she have a nephew whose brain was clearly broken?!
Could she really not just kill Liang Zhou right then and there to offer as a sacrifice to her dead dignity?!
Seeing the look of utter despair on her face, Shen Lin didn’t hesitate to drag his good friend out for comparison.
“Jiajia, if you think about Lu Huaiyu, who hasn’t had a shred of dignity for over a decade, do you feel a little better?”
Liang Jiaqing hissed. “Now that you mention it, I feel like I’m not doing so badly after all!”
As the old saying went, happiness was all about comparison!
After finishing his performance, Monkey Bro completely ignored the “familiar strangers” who were busy displaying affection right in front of everyone.
After all, someone without an official relationship was nothing more than a familiar stranger. Made perfect sense.
Unhappy with the silence from the others, he called out, “What are you all standing around for? Start praising me! Was my performance not moving enough?”
“That was such a creative performance! The inspiration came from the wild-man siblings, after all~ Come on, praise me! Really lay it on thick!”
Director Zhang tentatively clapped his hands. “Do we really have to do this?”
The corners of the assistant director’s mouth twitched. His hands had already been raised, ready to applaud in support, but he simply couldn’t bring himself to start clapping.
“Do we really have to use such a humiliating method to boost the ratings of our show?”
After saying that, he instinctively glanced at the comments section—and nearly blacked out all over again.
[Um…how should I put this? All I can say is that the show’s finale has stayed true to its roots! The first episode and the last episode both featured the wild-man challenge. This show is seriously unhinged!]
[Holy crap! Is this really a travel show, or a massive reenactment of human evolution?! Monkey Bro really is Baby Sister’s desk mate. He can perform like a wild man without even having to think about it!]
[Directors, stop standing there and go hold back those kids! I can already see the urge to go feral in their eyes!]
After the assistant director’s eyes went black, he suddenly looked across at the group of guests and saw that they had already raised their hands to cover their mouths.
He didn’t even have time to stop them. The next second, a whole string of inhuman noises rang out.
Wild Man Contestant Number One, Xie Tangning, slapped a hand over her mouth. “Wah wah wah wah~ wah↗”
Wild Man Contestant Number Two, Xie Changyu, pinched his throat with both hands. “Wo-hoo↘ wo-hoo↗ wo-hoo↘”
Wild Man Contestant Number Three, Wu Dacheng, cupped his hands around his mouth as though shouting. “Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo~~~”
Wild Man Contestant Number Four, Shen Hao, warmed up his high notes. “Ya-ho-ho-ho-ho~ ho-ho~~”
Wild Man Contestant Number Five… no, wait… that was the assistant director, who roared urgently, “Stop! Stop!”
At the assistant director’s two commands, the nonhuman creatures who had been going wild were forced to stop, their faces full of regret.
Because they had still been held back by their idol images at first and hadn’t managed to join in, Su Xiaoye and Xie Wanwan wore expressions of deep remorse.
They should have abandoned that last shred of dignity and joined in without hesitation!
Damn it, that chubby kid had actually secured his position as Xie Tangning’s right-hand man—or rather, left-hand man.
The two girls thought furiously. Of course, they absolutely refused to admit that they wanted to go crazy too.
After all, who wouldn’t want to live this unhinged at least once?
Amid the laughter and merriment, time slipped by especially quickly.
It wasn’t until the show was nearly over that Xie Tangning suddenly remembered that Director Zhang still hadn’t given her the closing gift he had promised.
She trotted over to Director Zhang, held out both hands, and looked at him expectantly.
Director Zhang, who had already gotten high after drinking two bottles of AD Calcium Milk, stared at her in confusion. He seemed unable to understand why this little kid had come over to him.
Xie Tangning clicked her tongue and waved both hands up and down. “Don’t play dumb. Where’s my closing gift?”
Director Zhang gave a long, drawn-out “Ohhh.” “Sorry, sorry~ I had two bottles of baijiu and got a little tipsy. I almost forgot.”
“Wait here. I’ll go get it for you!”
After Director Zhang left, Xie Tangning and the assistant director stared at each other. Then she tentatively held out her hands in front of him.
“Can I have two closing gifts? Dear Assistant Director~”
The assistant director instinctively patted his pocket, only to pull out a lighter. He quickly stuffed it back inside.
“I’ll make it up to you later, okay? I’ll give you two gifts then!”
Xie Tangning was delighted. She had only been joking with the assistant director, but she hadn’t expected to get an unexpected bonus.
