Ji Zhaoxi originally thought there would be a house-snatching segment.
To grab the best house, she specifically found a teacher to give her special training before coming on the show, but it turned out they were now living in an old lady's self-built house.
Ji Zhaoxi was very disappointed; she could have really shown off her skills in this segment.
The director was also disappointed. In his eyes, the house-snatching segment was absolutely essential.
Tearing each other's faces apart, ideally even getting into a physical fight.
However, on a neighboring variety show, because a certain artist grabbed a house that was too dilapidated during the house-snatching segment, his fans went straight to that show's director and kindly put him in a luxurious private hospital room.
That director was cared for by dedicated staff every day, having his clothes put on for him and food fed to him, bringing tears of happiness to his eyes.
From then on, all variety shows canceled the house-snatching segment.
Because not everyone wanted to stay in a luxurious private hospital room.
Ji Zhaoxi was actually quite used to living here; the conditions were much better than her grandmother's house.
The toilet here was at least a modern one, rather than a dry toilet where you could see a mass of white, frantically squirming maggots in the pit the moment you looked down.
But the others were not very used to it, especially Jiang Yanchen, whose face looked terrible, as if he was about to slam the door and leave the next second.
Jiang Yanchen was extremely irritable at the moment.
Because his previous diva behavior had caused too much of a stir, the company made him participate in one last variety show to clear his name, but he never expected to be living in a place like this.
"I've never lived in such a dilapidated house. I feel like this house is from the last century," a boy laughed.
Ji Zhaoxi looked over. She recognized him; he was a top-tier star among idol trainees.
He wasn't very educated, so he often said brainless things.
But because he was watched growing up since he was a child, and his fans were mostly "mother fans," they doted on him extremely.
He was even older than Ji Zhaoxi, yet his fans still often said he was just a child.
The other celebrities didn't chime in. Sang Ranbai smoothed things over, saying, "Not really, grandma's house is very nice, and we each have our own room."
She had participated in similar variety shows before. Once, she stayed in a thatched cottage next to a pigpen, and sometimes she would be woken up by the stench while sleeping.
She was already very satisfied with these conditions.
Lin Yichen suddenly stared at Sang Ranbai, pointing at her face and laughing cheerfully: "Sister Baibai, your makeup is coming off."
Sang Ranbai's face instantly stiffened.
Did she offend him?
Lin Yichen continued to go in for the kill, his face carrying a trace of childlike innocence: "Sister Baibai, you should change your liquid foundation, this one doesn't suit you."
Sang Ranbai: ...
Seeing that Sang Ranbai wasn't speaking, Lin Yichen laughed so hard he bent over: "I'm just joking, Sister Baibai, don't be angry."
Li Qiuchi frowned: "The weather is so hot, and we've been walking for so long, it's normal for makeup to come off."
Lin Yichen started staring at Li Qiuchi's face again, his expression somewhat serious.
Li Qiuchi was a little unhappy being stared at by Lin Yichen.
Lin Yichen bared eight teeth in a wide grin: "Sister Qiuchi, I don't think this lipstick suits you very well, it makes you look a bit old-fashioned."
Li Qiuchi sneered: "As long as I like it, that's fine."
Lin Yichen smiled happily: "Don't be angry, Sister Qiuchi, I just speak my mind directly."
[Has no one around Lin Yichen told him that his emotional intelligence is very low?]
[So ill-mannered.]
[Ahhh baby, don't speak so directly, mommy is really afraid you'll get scolded.]
[I beg everyone not to judge Yichen so quickly. Later on, everyone will understand him. He's really just clumsy with his words!]
[Oh my dear Chenchen, he's going to get scolded again [crying].]
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became sensitive.
Lin Yichen stood obediently among the boys, his legs swaying, looking extremely innocent.
His gaze suddenly landed on Ji Zhaoxi. The cameraman's eyes lit up and he immediately aimed the camera at the two of them.
Here it comes, ace against ace!
"Sister Zhaoxi..." Lin Yichen smiled at Ji Zhaoxi, just about to speak.
Ji Zhaoxi's eyes curved in a smile: "Yichen, you're so cute."
Lin Yichen looked at her with a bewildered expression.
Ji Zhaoxi put down the things in her hands, her eyes full of smiles: "Standing among the boys, you look like a little action figure, so cute and tiny."
The shortest of the other male celebrities was over 1.8 meters tall. Even wearing super-thick height-increasing insoles, Lin Yichen was only just over 1.7 meters tall. Standing in the middle, he completely sank in.
Lin Yichen's face instantly darkened.
The cameraman silently focused the lens on Lin Yichen's face.
The next second, Lin Yichen squeezed out a smile: "Sister Zhaoxi, I saw you and Brother Yanchen today..."
"Hey, do you have double eyelids now? I remember when I watched you on TV as a kid, you still had single eyelids. You've grown into your looks now, right?" Ji Zhaoxi had some envy in her eyes.
"Unlike me, I still look the same now as I did before."
The others stared at them quietly, the room full of the smell of gunpowder.
Seeing Lin Yichen glaring at her viciously, Ji Zhaoxi wasn't afraid at all.
Taking the black and red route was just like this; she was even afraid she wasn't hated enough.
Lin Yichen forced a smile: "Sister Zhaoxi, you're really something, why are you so nervous? It's not like I'm going to do anything to you."
Ji Zhaoxi looked at him gossipy: "Yichen, I have a question I'm very curious about. Was that news about you a while ago true? The one about staying at a rich older woman's house."
Lin Yichen tightly clenched his fists, his smile ugly: "Sister Zhaoxi, you're an artist yourself, how could you believe such rumors? Of course, it's fake."
Later, when Ji Zhaoxi tried to talk to Lin Yichen, Lin Yichen didn't even pay her any attention.
He had an expression of extreme annoyance towards her.
[I'm dying of laughter. She asked everything I was curious about. Choosing Ji Zhaoxi was definitely the right choice.]
[Ji Zhaoxi is so disgusting. As a girl, she's spreading dirty rumors about others. Doesn't she know how much damage a dirty rumor can do to a person?]
[Before, I just thought Ji Zhaoxi liked to leech off others' popularity, but now I really think she has character issues.]
[Not being a misogynist, but Ji Zhaoxi is just too disgusting. I've never hated a female celebrity this much in my life.]
[Our good baby who was photographed going to nightclubs, our good baby who stayed overnight at a rich woman's house, our good baby who told dirty jokes to female fans. Everyone wants to harm our baby Yichen [crying].]
The director was very satisfied with Ji Zhaoxi's reaction.
Didn't the topic just present itself?
The other guests' moods were also very subtle.
They knew Ji Zhaoxi's combat effectiveness was strong, but they didn't expect it to be this strong.
Sang Ranbai started to doubt her life a little. Before she came on the show, her manager told her that Ji Zhaoxi would definitely target her and told her she must strike first.
Her?
Her fighting against Ji Zhaoxi?
Sang Ranbai's face was a bit bewildered.
Ji Zhaoxi slept exceptionally soundly this time.
Getting so much screen time really put her in a good mood.
Amidst the chirping of cicadas and croaking of frogs outside, she fell into a sweet sleep.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yanchen didn't sleep all night. The croaking of frogs outside was ultimate torture for him.
"Can we catch all those frogs outside?" he leaned against the bed irritably.
The director was silent for a while: "Do you think that's possible?"
He had never heard such an unreasonable request.
[My heart aches for him, Ah Yan already has a sleep disorder.]
[Is the production team sick in the head? They know Ah Yan has trouble sleeping, yet they couldn't even find a house with better soundproofing!]
[Crying! Can a staff member please give him some earplugs?]
[I absolutely loathe this production team. Ah Yan has been looking so listless all day.]
[The production team is dead! The director is dead! The staff are all dead!]
Director: ...
It didn't matter anymore. After all, since the very first day the show aired, he had already died countless times anyway.
