【HAHAHAHAHA】
【This is my favorite Qin Chaoyue moment yet】
【Childhood friendship is precious, sure, but the bond of eating shit together is even more unforgettable】
Xu Mucheng’s face darkened.
This segment had indeed been arranged by the company—
The company had known about the two’s relationship from the start, but never made it public, deliberately saving it for now, for when they were going on the show.
This was the perfect timing.
That was why Luo Zibai was brought in—to use this popular young star’s mouth to tell everyone how deep the two’s past connection ran, and to sing Xu Mucheng’s praises.
That way, it would be easier to stir up some CP hype between them~
Naturally.
The main beneficiary of this arrangement was Xu Mucheng. Luo Zibai would gain some benefits too, but not many.
But who told this young star to agree willingly?
But now.
Everything that had been carefully designed and arranged, the whole nice atmosphere, had all been destroyed by Qin Chaoyue!
And because Zhuo Jiahan had been dragged up and flogged over and over again, Luo Zibai this time wasn’t just angry for little sister Mumu—he was furious on his own behalf too!
“Qin Chaoyue, that’s enough!”
The vague, ambiguous atmosphere was swept away completely as Luo Zibai’s face flushed red.
“Do you have to keep dumping shit on my head?!!”
Qin Chaoyue looked up and gave him a faint glance.
“I didn’t.”
“You stuffed it into your own mouth.”
“AHHHHHHH!” Luo Zibai was clearly on the verge of breaking down.
He stepped forward two paces, veins bulging on his clenched fists—he didn’t look so weak after all~
Jiang Lingye didn’t talk much, but he had been watching this side the whole time.
He immediately stepped forward too, meeting the raised fist head-on, the boy’s face cold and stern, like a lone wolf.
“What are you doing? We’re still live-recording the show.”
It was a warning for Luo Zibai not to do anything rash.
Xu Mucheng, angry too, grabbed Luo Zibai’s arm. “Brother Zibai, calm down.”
Right now she and Luo Zibai were still bound together. She could stir things up and use Luo Zibai as her weapon, but in front of so many people, she couldn’t go too far.
She still had to help stabilize the situation.
“Brother Zibai has just been provoked by Sister Qin this whole time, so his emotions are running too high. He doesn’t really mean it—he’s just trying to scare you, just joking around.”
“It’s fine.”
Qin Chaoyue said, “After all, the last guy who hit someone on camera has his fate on full display. If he doesn’t care, he’s welcome to try.”
“Oh, and if fans help whitewash him, I’ll call him out for his double standards.”
Jiang Lingye: .
【God… what a vicious move】
【Way to go, wifey】
【From start to finish, Luo Zibai’s emotions have been really unstable, constantly targeting Qin Chaoyue, unable to take even a couple of rebuttals—just like a rage-monster bro】
【Fame’s gone to his head, huh】
【Have you all not noticed there’s actually been a woman behind all this?】
【Jiang Lingye: Is no one going to speak up for me?】
【Luo Zibai has always had the refined gentleman image, but now… in contrast with him, Jiang Lingye just looks like a quiet, pretentious brat】
【Is Qin Chaoyue hinting that Jiang Lingye’s hitting incident was also provoked, that there’s more to the story?】
【At least from what we’ve seen, Jiang Lingye really cares about his sister】
【When trouble his wife stirred up turns dangerous, the little brother-in-law really does step up when it counts!】
With a beauty at his side and soft hands resting on his chest, Luo Zibai’s anger gradually subsided, though his expression remained sour.
He explained: “The show only just started today. He’s an industry outsider—I’d never even met him before this program.”
The implication being:
We’re not close at all, so stop shipping us!
“Oh.” Qin Chaoyue nodded as if understanding. “Love at first sight. Even better to ship.”
“That was an accident!”
“A blessing from heaven, a match made in heaven.”
“This is not a good thing at all!”
“CP moments aren’t judged by good or bad—fans will find the sugar themselves.”
“I like women!”
“You ship yours, they ship theirs, no interference. Besides—”
Qin Chaoyue paused. “My orientation clearly isn’t you, yet I still ended up being drawn to you. Oh, kswl.”
Jiang Lingye had been playing the mute the whole time, but he quietly took two steps forward.
After everything Qin Chaoyue had said, he was afraid that if Xu Mucheng couldn’t hold the other side back for even a moment, Luo Zibai would explode and start swinging.
The young man’s shoulders—not particularly broad, even a bit thin—formed a silent yet solid wall in front of his “big sister.”
AHHHHH!
Luo Zibai completely lost it.
Unable to out-argue Qin Chaoyue, he could only turn back and shoot a vicious glare at the other protagonist, Zhuo Jiahan.
He even came to hate Zhuo Xi, who had brought Zhuo Jiahan along.
He was fine jade, and naturally couldn’t clash head-on with those rotten stones.
In the end, he could only snarl a warning: “From now on, no one is allowed to ship this CP. Do you hear me?!”
Qin Chaoyue wasn’t the least bit intimidated. “If the audience wants to ship, they’ll ship. Who do you think you are?”
Just then, Cen Xuyi struck right at the vital point: “I remember during your last drama, quite a few people shipped the senior-junior CP too.”
That last drama was the one that made Luo Zibai blow up, setting him apart from everyone else and catapulting him to heartthrob status.
Xu Mucheng was in it too.
She played the junior sister of the male lead, Luo Zibai. Even though some time had passed since her debut scene aired through the show’s end, plenty of people were still shipping the senior-junior CP, both on and off screen.
Of course, the company’s machinations were behind this. Thanks to CP hype, Xu Mucheng had accumulated quite a lot of popularity.
Qin Chaoyue listened and took note. “Then in that family variety show, you and your Mumu—sister by blood, sister by affection, impossible to tell apart—aren’t there tons of people shipping you two anyway?”
“Or should we have your studio post a notice forbidding it?”
Luo Zibai fell silent.
[AHHH Qin Chaoyue’s mouth is unstoppable]
[LOL when wifey deadpanned “kswl,” so cute so cute]
[Ship it ship it! The “eat-shit couple” is the sweetest, the universe’s number one CP, Luo-Ri-Cheng-Xi don’t even try to compete]
[Cen Xuyi secretly passing knives from the side, AHHH beautiful women belong with beautiful women]
[Luo Zibai’s silence means the senior-junior CP was self-manufactured hype? With the company behind it too?… Terrifying when you think about it]
[I’ve wanted to say this forever! A family-oriented variety show, you participate as siblings, but you’re actually here to hype a CP? Did you even consider the viewers’ feelings? Disgusting! Shameless!!]
[Jiang Lingye really protects his sister—there’s a hint of wolf pup about him]
[Let me tell you, Qin Chaoyue and Jiang Lingye should really thank Luo Zibai and Xu Mucheng. With such an outrageous pair of fake siblings hogging the spotlight, who has any attention left for them?]
[No lie, that’s my sworn sister from another mother and father!]
[Get lost, that’s my wife, for real!]
Everyone guessed right.
And everyone’s reward for guessing right was… no reward XD
The guests had all worked hard for the day and deserved some rest, but when it came time to pair up and split into rooms, the problem arose again.
Zhuo Xi said, “A-Ye and I know each other better. A-Ye, let’s share a room.”
He looked over with utterly sincere eyes, only to be met with a mocking smile from the young man.
In an instant.
Jiang Lingye’s entire air of untamed defiance bristled up as if sprouting thorns.
The young man tilted his head slightly, one eye revealed beneath his tousled hair—jet black and unfathomably deep, as if tempered in ice. His tone was cold and indifferent, laced with endless scorn.
“Sharing a room with me? Have the bruises on your body all healed up, then?”
