Chapter 69: The Pure and Innocent Superstar is Not to Be Messed With 19
Each guest received 6 cards. They needed to write down information about themselves and their teammates; if the answers matched, they would earn one point.
There were six questions in total. Some were "easy points" likely included to avoid the embarrassment of guests being unable to answer, but others were quite difficult.
1. What kind of cuisine do you like to eat? 2. What was the first gift you received from the other person? 3. Birthday 4. What is your wish? 5. Favorite actor 6. What time do you go to sleep at night?
The moment Fang Qingrong and Xuan Yanrui received their cards, they exchanged glances before burying their heads in writing with incredible speed.
The camera zoomed in on their cards, and the audience saw that they were filled with the words "I don't know."
【Hahahaha, I'm dying! The intern group is so miserable. Without a doubt, they're in last place.】
【Hahaha, besides the birthday, Brother Qingrong also answered the fourth question. His own wish is to become famous, and he guessed that Xuan Yanrui's wish is also to become famous—and he actually got it right!】
【Xuan Yanrui is a bit slow; how could he not guess that? He wrote that he wants to be famous, but for Fang Qingrong's wish, he just wrote "I don't know."】
The host quickly collected the guests' cards.
First up was the Intern Brothers group. The two basically knew nothing about each other, but Fang Qingrong answered two questions correctly: the 3rd regarding the birthday and the 4th regarding the wish.
As a result, they earned 2 points.
Xuan Yanrui was frustrated. How did he not think of that? Dammit.
Fang Qingrong was an entertainer; of course he wanted to be famous.
As for the other person's birthday, how was he supposed to know that would be useful? He hadn't paid any attention to it.
There was no need to overthink it; the viewers in the live stream were definitely cursing him for being inattentive right now.
So annoying!
【This Xuan Yanrui is really inattentive. They're supposed to be intern brothers; shouldn't it be normal to pay attention to the other person's birthday? This attitude is really unacceptable.】
【Brother Qingrong usually doesn't have many friends when he speaks, but he's quite serious when he does things.】
【Xiao Xuan just has a more easygoing personality. It's just a birthday; is there a need to make such a big deal out of it?】
【Heh, stop making excuses. He's just not serious and inattentive. He's here to record a show; knowing the basic information about the relationship between the participants should be a given, right? Fans are like this—they take after their idols.】
The Intern Brothers group earned 2 points.
For the Shi Wei brothers' cards, Shi Wei answered everything correctly.
【I can almost see Brother Shi saying: "Heh, kids. They just can't hide anything."】
Shi Xiao answered 4 questions correctly.
For the 4th question—what was Shi Wei's wish?
Shi Xiao answered: "Probably doesn't have any wishes." Shi Wei's answer was: "Confidential."
For the 5th question—Shi Wei's favorite actor.
Shi Xiao's answer was: "Probably doesn't have one." Shi Wei's answer remained: "Confidential."
【Still "confidential"? Is Brother Shi trying to tease us?】
【I'm a member and a fan, let me see.】
"Brother, couldn't you just write 'none'?" Shi Xiao complained. "Now look, we lost another 2 points."
Shi Wei remained composed. "It's not me losing points; it's you failing to answer correctly. It's your fault."
Shi Xiao was going crazy. What kind of brother is twenty years older and still this rogue?
The two brothers earned 10 points.
What made Shi Xiao happy was that the Su siblings lost 4 points, specifically on the 4th and 6th questions.
"At least we're second," Shi Xiao said, nuzzling against Shi Wei while staring intently toward A-Zhen's side.
The host opened the cards for A-Zhen and Du Ya.
Regarding the 6 questions about A-Zhen, Du Ya's answers were: Mountain delicacies, a backpack, 7.19, probably related to me, I don't know, probably not very fixed.
A-Zhen's answers were: Mountain delicacies, a doll keychain, 7.19, Mom's lifelong peace and happiness, Teacher Shi Wei, irregular.
Du Ya earned 4 points.
The production team counted the 4th question as correct for her.
Upon seeing this, Du Ya was somewhat confused. "Why a doll keychain? I remember it was a backpack."
"That day when Mom came to pick me up, she tucked a doll keychain into my hand first," A-Zhen said, clutching Du Ya's arm. "Only later did she take me to buy a backpack, and the doll keychain was hung on the backpack."
Du Ya didn't know what to say. "To Mom, a small keychain wasn't much of a gift. She just happened to see it and thought it was pretty that day, so she bought it on impulse, thinking you might like it. It was a very cheap thing, just a little trinket. We were in such a rush that day, and Mom didn't have time to prepare much. She only remembered she should bring something when she saw the keychain, but it was too late, so she had to pick you up first and then go buy it."
Du Ya felt a pang of guilt. When she had heard the truth of the matter back then, she had been in a daze.
The Su family had been in such a rush; she had been completely unprepared.
"But, it was the first gift I received that was full of emotion," A-Zhen said earnestly. "Hearing that Mom bought it specifically for me makes me even happier."
Du Ya's heart ached. "Okay, Mom will remember. The doll keychain was the first gift given to you."
Little Zhen's wish was actually about her; she had almost lost her daughter.
【The mother and daughter have such a good relationship.】
【So heartwarming.】
【Does it sound like there's some backstory there?】
【A-Zhen's favorite actor is actually Teacher Shi? Shocking! But not unexpected; Teacher Shi is very likable.】
【Does this count as successful fan service?】
【Ahhh, I'm so jealous!】
Shi Wei could no longer control his gaze. His eyes landed on A-Zhen. Her favorite actor was actually him?
He even sat up straighter without realizing it, appearing more like a dignified "old cadre" and less relaxed than before.
No one knew that a secret joy was blooming in his heart.
It was a feeling he couldn't express to anyone.
【Teacher Shi is feeling the pressure of his idol image.】
【Hahaha, everyone has a bit of an idol burden when facing fans. Teacher Shi is no exception.】
【Teacher Shi is quite interesting today.】
Regarding the 6 questions about Du Ya, A-Zhen's answers were: Scallion carp, bear candies, 4.23, probably about me, I can't guess specifically, probably me, before 23:00.
Du Ya's answers were: Scallion carp, bear candies, 4.23, Little Zhen's lifelong peace and happiness, Little Zhen, irregular, occasionally stays up late to support her on rankings.
A-Zhen earned 5 points.
For the 4th question, she had guessed it was about herself, and the production team counted it as correct, so she only lost the 6th question.
A-Zhen's group earned a total of 9 points, ranking second.
A-Zhen looked at Du Ya, who looked somewhat uncomfortable. "You're not young anymore, why are you still staying up late? Your body isn't particularly strong; staying up late is bad for you."
"If Mom doesn't take good care of herself, who will love me in the future?"
Du Ya hurriedly said, "I won't stay up late anymore."
【Hahaha, so funny.】
【Mom is so cute, she actually stays up late to support her daughter's rankings.】
【It suddenly occurred to me, that account Zhenzhen was following a while ago... could that have been Zhenzhen's mom?】
【I just went to check, and I think it was.】
Rankings: Shi Wei brothers (1st), Du Zhen mother and daughter (2nd), Su Zihuan siblings (3rd), Intern Brothers group (4th).
The lunches received were: A luxury feast, a hot pot set, three dishes and one soup, and steamed buns, porridge, and kimchi.
Xuan Yanrui's face turned green.
Thinking that things wouldn't go smoothly from here on out, he felt extremely stifled.
Shi Wei noticed that the rural villa where A-Zhen was staying was not far from the tile-roofed house where he and his brother lived; it could be seen from the doorway.
He gently rubbed his eyes, watching the approaching figure. Realizing he hadn't misseen, his face remained composed, but his heart was racing.
What was she doing here?
Looking for his autograph?
"Teacher Shi," A-Zhen greeted him.
Shi Wei nodded. "Is something the matter?"
"I came to dig some bamboo shoots for a hot pot. I saw there are bamboo trees here," A-Zhen said. "Mom already spoke to the host earlier."
Shi Wei: "Do you need my help?"
As a senior, it was only normal to help, right?
"Teacher Shi, aren't you busy?" The faint smile on A-Zhen's face made Shi Wei's vision swim.
Shi Wei's hand, tucked in his pocket, tightened, though his face remained calm and indifferent. "Not busy for the moment."
"Brother, the feast is here! Let's eat!" Shi Xiao walked out, shouting at the top of his lungs.
Shi Wei shifted his feet slightly to block Shi Xiao's view, lest the kid see Du Zhen running over. "You eat first, I'm not hungry yet."
But Shi Xiao had already seen her and ran over cheerfully. "Sister Zhenzhen, come to my house for the feast!"
Shi Wei: This brat!
Can a child be this reckless?
He really wanted to hide her away so no one could see her—not even Shi Xiao.
Shi Wei quickly snapped back to reality.
He might be sick!
