【??? What??】
【My bro actually ate shit, live-action version?】
【What what? Luo Zibai and Zhuo Jiahan kissed?】
【Luo-Ri-Cheng-Xi is BE? Serves them right! This is the CP us adults should be shipping!】
【…Don’t understand but support :)】
Xu Mucheng just stood to the side, her expression worried, but she didn’t approach.
From the moment she joined this show, she’d been riding on Luo Zibai’s fame, but today’s Luo Zibai was utterly useless, disappointing her again and again!
And now he was embarrassing himself too!
Luo Zibai was vomiting so hard his face had gone white, so naturally he didn’t notice the movement on Xu Mucheng’s side.
He had originally been standing off to the side, watching the show.
He’d actually been quite pleased that someone on this show could embarrass themselves more than he had—that would bury the footage of his own earlier humiliation. But then, all of a sudden, he remembered that Zhuo Jiahan had come to find him—
Luo Zibai looked up, his eyes full of disbelief and blazing fury!
“You’re in this state and you still came to find me?”
Zhuo Jiahan—now changed into a fresh set of clothes—looked aggrieved too, and he tried to approach to explain.
But the moment he took a single step, Luo Zibai could feel that foul stench spreading through his mouth, his stomach.
The teen idol instantly turned pale with shock, his handsome face contorting.
“Don’t come over here!”
【Don’t come over here ahhhhh!】
【Babe, this is love in seven forms!!】
Fine.
Zhuo Jiahan could only stop where he was, a grown man saying in a wronged little voice:
“Brother Luo, how was I supposed to know the production crew would air that part?”
“And besides—”
“I already washed my hands.”
Meaning, if it hadn’t aired, he wouldn’t have said anything, and he would never have known?
Wait, that might not be such a bad thing, actually.
And from the very beginning, it was he who stood up for Mumu, proposing the test, and then Qin Chaoyue pushed it onto everyone…
What fault could Mumu possibly have?
Everything was the fault of that damned Qin Chaoyue!
If not for her, if not for her…
If she had just quietly endured it instead of jumping out to steal Mumu’s spotlight…
“Brother Luo, are you okay?”
Zhuo Jiahan’s voice rang out, and Luo Zibai’s thoughts were interrupted once more, leaving behind only—
“Ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh.”
“What’s wrong with him?” Jiang Lingye was also staring slack-jawed at the scene nearby.
“I know!”
Ever since the whole thing erupted over there, Tang Yeli had been inching her way over like a little hamster, wriggling and wriggling.
The young girl’s eyes were shining, her face full of the proud look of “I have a big secret, come ask me.”
Kind of cute.
Jiang Lingye seemed to have some reservations and said nothing more, but Qin Chaoyue glanced over and picked up the thread:
“What did Zhuo Jiahan do to that person?”
Tang Yeli was super excited: “When I was coming over, I happened to see Zhuo Jiahan-gege handing Luo Zibai-gege something to eat.”
Qin Chaoyue raised an eyebrow.
“It was bread!”
The little girl even gestured, “He took it out of the bag, holding it with his hand.”
Qin Chaoyue nodded knowingly. “What a treat.”
【Case closed!】
【This is Tang Yeli, reporting for this station】
【I’m starting to understand Luo Zibai’s feelings a little. My deepest sympathies… hahahahaha】
【You didn’t spare him either】
Luo Zibai vomited until the sky went dark, while beside him, Zhuo Xi’s emotions were rather complicated.
He had originally been the one in the worst position.
But now, seeing that Luo Zibai was even worse off than him, a faint sense of smugness rose in his heart.
Originally on this variety show, Luo Zibai’s popularity and fan count had both been higher than his, but now that the other party had made such a huge fool of himself on camera, it was as if he’d suddenly been trampled underfoot by someone who had always looked down on him…
That feeling was exactly the same as what he felt when facing Jiang Lingye.
The psychological trauma Luo Zibai had suffered was enormous.
Xu Mucheng had originally just been watching from the side, but after the incident was exposed, she had no choice but to step forward and gently, considerately soothe his emotions.
Of course.
Before approaching, she didn’t forget to take a deep breath and fiercely adjust her own emotional and facial management.
“Fate—what a wonderful thing,” Qin Chaoyue suddenly remarked. “I’m kind of shipping those two now.”
Jiang Lingye immediately turned to stare at her, wide-eyed, every feature on his face screaming—”Are you serious?”
[What do you call saying the most terrifying things in the most deadpan tone?]
[Never mess with Qin Chaoyue—there’s absolutely no good ending for anyone who does!!]
Meanwhile, everyone turned to look.
One person was holding back while still wanting to get closer (Zhuo Jiahan still wanted to apologize for what had just happened);
The other was verbally refusing while their body couldn’t help reacting to the other’s every move (Luo Zibai vomiting instinctively);
Oh ho~
Aren’t they just a match made in heaven?
[The shit-eating couple is the strongest ship!]
[Xu Mucheng, I know you’re in love, but give it up—when it comes to true love, you can’t compete with big brother Zhuo Jiahan]
[Luo Zibai is even willing to eat shit for him. What about you?]
[What a pungent anti-sex appeal…]
The livestream chat was a chaotic free-for-all. Besides the ones just there for laughs, the largest group was Luo Zibai’s rival fans.
The young actor industry these days wasn’t much different from the idol world—fans and antis constantly tearing into each other was the norm.
Luo Zibai had recently blown up with a hit drama, his traffic soaring. He himself had gotten a bit full of himself, and his fans had grown arrogant along with him.
The other fandoms couldn’t stand it anymore.
An opportunity like this, handed right to them—how could they pass it up?
They swarmed in spamming “Your fave ate shit,” “Luo Zibai, the heavenly shit of the mortal world,” “The new rising star who dares to eat shit—first in history! Come stan!”…
The “Moonlight” fans (Luo Zibai’s fandom name) were furious, cursing out the celebrities the other side stanned.
But the other side deployed layered defenses—
[Does your fave eat shit?]
[Mine doesn’t, anyway.]
[What kind of normal person eats shit?]
[Disgusting!]
[Filthy!]
[The Moonlight fans really are impressive, huh]
[HAHAHAHA]
Moonlight fans: [AAAAAAAHHH!!]
Rival fans: [Come to think of it, we should thank whoever pushed that trending topic—otherwise how would we have gotten such a spectacular show?]
The original trending topic, #QinChaoyueRigged#, had now been replaced by #LuoZibaiEatsShit#.
It had even climbed a few spots, firmly occupying the number one position on the trending list!
When Luo Zibai’s fans saw this—
Right!
Who started this whole mess in the first place?
Wasn’t it Xu Mucheng’s fandom?!
Right now Xu Mucheng was still at his side comforting him, and Luo Zibai was too busy vomiting to notice, but sharp-eyed fans still caught that flicker of disgust on Xu Mucheng’s face as her brows furrowed.
They were enraged!
The chat was full of CP fans screaming wildly, but Luo Zibai was an idol-drama heartthrob, so the majority of his fans were still solo stans and dream girls.
And now they’d finally caught their chance!
White Moonlight: [Brother, this cheap woman has only ever been using you—she never cared about you at all. Open your eyes and see, don’t let her fool you. We’re the ones who love you the most!]
Chengzhi: [Mumu is a rising fairy, a born actress, with both looks and acting skills. If it weren’t for the company’s arrangement, why would she ever need to be bundled with your side? A washed-up idol drama actor—just wait until Mumu becomes a famous Best Actress renowned at home and abroad, then your side can ride her coattails!]
Luo-Ri-Cheng-Xi shipper fans: [Can you all stop fighting…]
White Moonlight/Chengzhi: [GET LOST!!]
Rival fans: [Nice, love to watch it, fight more]
Trolls: [Please stop fighting—fighting like this won’t kill anyone! (grin)]
Director Guo watched the trending numbers climb behind the monitor, so delighted he slapped his thighs red!
Soon, it was time for the show’s signature segment.
Xu Mucheng was the first to buzz in:
“I guess Qin Chaoyue and Jiang Lingye are siblings!!”
