That’s right, Su Ye had been complaining in the group chat for several days already.
Sang Ji only occasionally checked the group messages, so she hadn’t noticed this matter.
She felt somewhat speechless.
Su Tang running away from home had practically become a regular occurrence for Su Ye.
She remembered the most outrageous time was when Su Tang went to work as a zookeeper at the Capital Zoo for a while before being found and brought back.
She had never met Su Tang, but she thought she seemed like a very interesting person.
Maybe she could ask Fu Ziyin to invite her out to hang out sometime.
After complaining a bit with Sang Ji, Fu Ziyin said she was going to invite someone else to join.
A moment later, when Sang Ji saw Fu Yuheng’s gaming account avatar appear in the game team, she fell silent.
See, she knew it was really strange!
It definitely wasn’t as Fu Ziyin had described.
Actually, he must enjoy playing games, right?
Right?
Was he just maintaining his aloof CEO image to avoid being criticized for not focusing on his work?
Thinking of this, Sang Ji couldn’t help but feel amused.
Fu Yuheng seemed unable to talk, so only Fu Ziyin and she had their voice chat on throughout.
After the game started, Shen Ci and Shen Xi grew somewhat quiet.
The other younger brother Fu Ziyin mentioned on the phone earlier was the son of their mother’s remarriage partner.
After their mother married the chairman of Shangyin Group, their older sister and she had been living abroad long-term.
They had never met that family, but from the life their sister occasionally mentioned, it seemed their family relationship was very good.
Did their sister often play games with him like this too…
The two exchanged a glance, reading the same thought in each other’s eyes.
It’s just…
So annoying!
Meanwhile, the two characters in the game noticeably intensified their attacks.
Fu Ziyin shouted from behind, “Hey wait, don’t go over there yet…”
With a bang.
She got caught in the crossfire and fell to the ground.
Fu Ziyin: !
…
After playing for over an hour, it was almost dinnertime.
Fu Yuheng had something to attend to and left first, and just then, An Yi also needed to speak with Sang Ji, so the game ended early.
Sang Ji called An Yi back.
It wasn’t anything urgent—just to inform her that Xinyi had already negotiated exclusive sponsorship with the “Siblings’ Form” program team.
Xinyi was the sports fashion brand she independently founded right after graduation, which had just entered the domestic market this year.
It followed two lines: professional and fashion, targeting professional athletes and the general public respectively.
Entry into high-end shopping malls and large flagship stores in major cities had already been completed in the first half of the year.
Taking advantage of the program’s broadcast was a good opportunity for promotion, making the most of the exposure.
The third set of guests for the variety show was officially announced as scheduled, featuring the rising star Jiang Siwei and his cousin.
Jiang Siwei was the first truly significant “traffic” star announced so far, leading to a massive wave of fan-controlled comments.
But that didn’t dampen netizens’ enthusiasm for discussion.
【I’ve never seen anything like this—is this the prestige of a Top-tier Traffic Star?】
【Please add two words before “Top-tier Traffic Star”: “former”】
【Please add two more words before “Top-tier Traffic Star”: “washed-up”】
【The life of a Jiang Siwei fan, engraving the words “Top-tier Traffic Star” into their DNA】
【Jiang fans: Even if I’m dead, nailed in my coffin, I’ll still use my decaying vocal cords to shout from the grave—my brother is a Top-tier Traffic Star!】
【Please stop! I’m starting to forget what the words “Top-tier Traffic Star” even mean】
Jiang Siwei had been in the industry for many years, with fans who had clashed across the entertainment circle, so he had always had many rivals.
Thus, many netizens took the opportunity to mock him.
【Do these fans think Shen Xi isn’t coming, daring to boast about a Top-tier Traffic Star here?】
【Although Jiang Siwei was once a Top-tier Traffic Star, he was just the tallest among dwarfs—still no match for the twins.】
【This brings up how Jiang Siwei, who played the male lead back then, got completely overshadowed by Shen Ci, who debuted as the second male lead.】
The name Shen Ci is practically taboo in Jiang Siwei’s fan circle—mention it and they explode.
Comments quickly turned into a battlefield.
【How can anyone praise a cold-blooded creature like Shen Ci?】
【Shen Ci caused Jiang Siwei to get injured while filming, didn’t even apologize, skipped the entire crew’s hospital visit, and then used the male lead’s misfortune to promote himself. How shameless!】
Since Shen Ci’s fans weren’t paying attention to this show’s updates, most of the insults came from Jiang Siwei’s fans.
Only a few fans who happened to see it and some sympathetic passersby spoke up for him.
Amidst the fan wars, someone finally spared a moment to notice the guest’s partner.
【Huh, isn’t his cousin that internet celebrity?】
【Jiang Rui, right? The rich second-generation who’s always flaunting luxury cars and watches online.】
Originally, rumors said there were three groups of guests, but the show hinted at another, keeping netizens on edge.
…
That evening, it was time for the show’s scheduled official announcement.
At exactly 8:00 PM, not a second off.
The official blog’s latest post featured two promotional photos and one silhouette image.
The guest list in the caption was crystal clear—@Shen Xi V, @Shen Ci V, and their sister.
【？？？？？】
The comment section looked like a mass speechless scene.
Not a single text comment could be seen.
Several minutes later, normal comments finally rose to the top—
Well, maybe not so normal?
【Did the show post one too many photos?】
【Did they also tag one too many people?】
【Promotional mishap?】
【What’s today’s date… Wow, it’s not April Fool’s Day?】
【Ten minutes have passed, and it’s still not deleted… Could it possibly be real?!】
【Woke up too fast—did the show kidnap them?】
Meanwhile, the top three trending searches were taken over by Shen Xi and Shen Ci’s names.
Soon, the whole internet knew the twin Top-tier Traffic Stars were going on a variety show with their sister!
【Aren’t these two supposed to be on bad terms?!】
【Huh? What made two people who only appear together in edited videos join the same show?】
【Picking one fan to answer this】
【As a fan, I’d really like to know too!】
Some passersby didn’t understand why everyone was so shocked. Aren’t they brothers? Isn’t it normal for them to appear together on a family-themed variety show?
So, those in the know thoroughly explained how the two had zero interactions since their debut two years ago, how they refused to appear on the same show as if they were enemies, and—
how they broke the hearts of their CP Fans!
Uh…
CP Fans?
They even have CP Fans?!
…
After the shock wore off, netizens regained their senses and started thinking—
Something strange is definitely going on!
【Wait, it’s not just the two of them—they’re bringing their sister!】
【Sister? Huh? It can’t be Shen Shuang, right? Isn’t she the illegitimate daughter?】
【How could it be Shen Shuang! Remember how they reacted when she tried to ride their coattails?!】
【The silhouette doesn’t look like Shen Shuang either—it’s completely different.】
Once Shen Shuang was ruled out, netizens started speculating again.
【An ordinary sister? They actually have another sister?】
【Sister? Then I want to see what kind of celestial beauty she looks like!】
【Is this sister also planning to debut?】
【Every single member of the Shen family has entered the entertainment industry. The twins go without saying, and Shen Shuang isn’t bad-looking either. If this sister were a celestial beauty, shouldn’t she have debuted long ago?】
【Isn’t it said that top-tier beauties are mostly genetic lottery wins? Shen Xi and Shen Ci hit the jackpot twice. According to the law of conservation of luck, the sister might be quite ordinary…】
【Or maybe their family just loves entering the entertainment industry? Both younger brothers are Top-tier Traffic Stars—why waste ready-made popularity?】
【Could it be that they weren’t kidnapped by the production team but forced to join the show by their sister?!】
【This speculation actually makes a lot of sense!】
Netizens’ enthusiasm for discussion was truly overwhelming. After analyzing a bunch of possibilities, they all felt they had uncovered the truth.
But they didn’t have to wait long.
After the official announcement, the show was about to officially begin broadcasting!
The first episode was recorded in a coastal peninsula city.
Due to the nature of the guests’ work, not everyone was in the same city.
So the production team didn’t book flights uniformly. Instead, they informed everyone of the broadcast time and had them arrange their own travel plans. Then, they arranged dedicated cars to pick them up separately from the airport.
The livestream location was at an eco-friendly resort by the sea.
The production team set up the equipment in advance and started testing the livestream.
As soon as the livestream portal opened, netizens swarmed in.
The first thing they saw was a beautiful seascape—
【Huh? A minute has passed, why isn’t the sea moving?】
【Why does it seem like there are no comments? Did I come too early?】
【Not too early! It’s just too laggy!】
Then, the screen went black.
【Wuwuwu, I didn’t even catch a glimpse of a person before getting kicked out】
【A premium livestream member can’t stand this injustice】
【Let me in! Right now!】
The director wiped his sweat. Thankfully, he had prepared in advance.
He knew the number of viewers might explode, but he didn’t expect so many people to show up even before the official broadcast time.
He simply opened all the prepared livestream portals to reduce the pressure on individual streams.
…
Generally, artists with fans would have fan site managers and supporters waiting at the airport to greet them.
So before the guests even arrived at the livestream location, airport photos from each family started circulating.
Cheng Yu and Cheng Yuan, the sibling duo, wore casual outfits that exuded a sense of high-end fashion in their daily wear.
A random snapshot looked like a poster.
【Sister, you’re killing me—so beautiful and cool!】
【Even Cheng Yu’s walk has that playful, irreverent vibe. I’m impressed.】
【A glamorous, cool older sister and her flashy younger brother】
Liang Shiyu, on the other hand, wore a natural-looking makeup look, with everything she wore and carried being high-end luxury brands she was hired to promote.
This outfit took her several hours to put together—refined yet effortless, understated yet impossible to ignore, radiating a goddess-like aura.
It also fit her public persona perfectly.
Behind her was a girl wearing a mask, who seemed somewhat student-like in comparison.
Next to arrive were Jiang Siwei and Jiang Rui.
Jiang Siwei wore a Haute Couture brand’s casual suit.
Jiang Rui had a very typical internet celebrity style—her clothes accentuated her figure, and from head to toe, she radiated one word: expensive.
【Her outfit must cost several hundred thousand, right?】
【Although her personality can be annoying, she really is rich.】
However, the most anticipated Shen Xi and Shen Ci still hadn’t released a single airport photo.
And there was still no sign of their sister.
According to on-site fans, all three groups of guests have already boarded the program’s designated vehicles and are expected to arrive in about half an hour.
If they haven’t reached the airport yet, doesn’t that mean they’ll be late?
Haters seized the opportunity to stir up trouble.
【Playing the diva card on the first day? That fits my impression of them perfectly.】
【One is arrogant and rude, the other wears a cold face toward everyone—they’re equally detestable in their own ways.】
Just then, a comment appeared in the live stream—
【Holy crap, I originally wanted to join the crowd and greet the two Top-tier Traffic Stars at the airport, but apparently they arrived on a private jet?!】
Meanwhile, in the live stream footage, the figures of three people gradually came into view.
