Chapter 37
At this side.
After rendering Jiang Lechuan speechless with greatly proudness, Ning Xiwei felt a not-so-friendly gaze on her before she could soak in the proudness.
She looked up vigilantly and met Mu Yuan's gaze on the other side.
After a few seconds of staring at each other, Mu Yuan didn't look away.
Ning Xiwei smiled faintly.
It was the same expression as before, looking very friendly.
No one would feel anything wrong when seeing this scene.
Except Mu Yuan and Ning Xiwei.
Because they both realized at this moment that they were the same kind of people. They were good at pretending on the surface. They wouldn’t waste any time and gaze on people who they don't care about, but when facing the important people they felt they care about, they would pretend to be pitiful or use other ways to make their status higher.
Ning Xiwei didn't think she would lose.
She smiled more brightly, her eyes showing that she was determined to win.
From childhood to adulthood, she would fight for what she wanted and got what she cared about.
She had lost her most important friend.
So now she was set on Gu Qi. No matter what means, she must make herself as mutually special to Gu Qi.
No one could stop it.
Jiang Lechuan, the younger brother, couldn't do, so let alone a cousin like Mu Yuan.
It was just...
Ning Xiwei's eyes fell on Wen Renjing next to Mu Yuan.
She couldn't understand what this person was thinking and whether he was a ‘competitor’.
Really.
Gu Qi's younger brothers were so many that she was irked.
But it didn't matter.
She would work hard to become Gu Qi's favorite younger sister.
The silent ‘undercurrent’ had ended.
Only Jiang Lechuan was still looking at Ning Xiwei with displeasure, unable to understand why she wanted to take away her sister's place.
All the guests had arrived.
But the director team hadn't announced today's schedule, obviously because they were waiting for the arrival of the flying guest.
It was no secret that the flying guest was Shen Anran. So when the director introduced the identity of today's guest in a mysterious way, everyone felt very complicated.
After a pause, Gu Qi gave the director some face and cooperated, "Wow."
Everyone exchanged glances and followed Gu Qi’s suit.
Ning Xiwei coughed, "Oh my god, who is it?"
Wen Renjing had no expression, "So looking forward to it."
Zhizi smiled and applauded.
Mu Yuan ignored them.
Jiang Lechuan was puzzled: "Why are you looking at me? Wow, I'm guessing the new guest... what’s there to guess? Don't you go online?"
[What are you acting for? Hahaha! Isn't it Shen Anran? Everyone knows it! ]
[Isn't it like this in general variety shows? Obviously everyone knows everything, but everyone has to act with full of expectations?]
[Everyone was indeed acting, but the acting wasn't that good]
[Except Jiang Lechuan, who is a honest person, hahahaha]
...
Director: "..."
Why was the atmosphere so awkward? This was completely different from what he imagined. There had never been such a situation before.
It seemed that since the two people from Jiāng Family were gone, these people were too lazy to act?
So he stopped being mysterious and introduced directly: "Let's welcome today's guests!"
The camera turned to the main entrance. Shen Anran, who had been waiting for a long time, walked in with her elder brother.
Shen Anran was dressed very low-key today, wearing a light-colored dress. Showing a very sweet smile, she waving to everyone: "Hello everyone, I am actress Shen Anran. This is my elder brother Shen Jinyi. I hope to spend a happy weekend with everyone!"
The tall man standing behind Shen Anran was at least 1.9 meters tall, with silver hair and muscular lines that could not be concealed even under his suit. At first glance, one would think he was an international male model.
Standing next to him, Shen Anran looked particularly petite.
The barrage was boiling because of the arrival of Shen Anran's elder brother.
[Damn damn! Shen Anran's elder brother is too handsome! ]
[Although I saw photos online before and knew he is a handsome guy, I fainted when I saw his height! ]
[Originally: handsome guy! Seeing the whole body: I directly hid my husband!!! ]
Gu Qi raised her eyebrows in surprise, "... so tall."
Everyone at the scene was like this.
Jiang Lechuan quickly distanced himself from Shen Jinyi and the first sentence was: "How tall are you?"
Shen Jinyi didn't seem to expect Jiang Lechuan to talk to him. He hesitated and replied, "1.95? I haven't measured for a long time, so I don't remember it well."
Jiang Lechuan heard the sound of his heart breaking.
Share a little! Share a little with him!
Jiang Lechuan had always had a knot in his heart.
That was, his height was——
1.797.
Almost! No! He would be 1.8 meters if he wasn’t 0.3cm short!
Seeing that Wen Renjing was 7 centimeters taller than him, and still growing Mu Yuan, who was still in high school, was as tall as him, Jiang Lechuan felt that his life was in darkness.
His teammates would comfort him every time -
If he was too tall, dancing wouldn’t look good and it would be difficult to coordinate. Still Jiang Lechuan thought that these 1.8-meter-tall people had their troubles.
Looking at Shen Jinyi in front of him, Jiang Lechuan became even more depressed.
He started a series of questions to the other party: "Why are you so tall? Do you like playing basketball? Or drinking milk? Is it a family gene..."
Before Jiang Lechuan could finish this question, he fell silent when he saw the petite Shen Anran at the side.
Obviously, this wasn't the case.
The smile on Shen Anran's face was a little awkward.
She didn't expect her elder brother to be the protagonist today. Seeing her stupid elder brother who was thinking and recalling why he was so tall, she felt speechless.
Shen Anran continued: "Our mom is mixed-blood, maybe elder brother inherited the genes from Mom."
"Is that so."
Jiang Lechuan expressed he understood. Then he suddenly stood up: "You guys chat first, I'll go upstairs to change clothes."
Everyone: "?"
What kind of clothes were you changing at this time? Did he have to be so out of the blue!
Five minutes later.
Jiang Lechuan walked downstairs and deliberately put on a deep solemn expression: "Sorry, I kept everyone waiting for a long time."
Ning Xiwei couldn't help but complain: "You said you were going upstairs to change clothes, at least change into something before coming down!"
In the end, what he wore was still the same as before! Did he take all of them as fools?
Jiang Lechuan was stunned. He didn't expect that he would reveal such a big "flaw".
His face quickly turned red, and he said, "I, I changed my pants! You didn't notice it!"
Gu Qi asked him calmly, "How many layers of insoles did you put on?"
Everyone: "!?"
Jiang Lechuan widened his eyes and blurted out, "How do you know?!"
[Hahaha, Jiang Lechuan, you kid! You said you changed clothes but in truth, you put on insoles, right? ]
[Jiang Lechuan, you care about it, hahaha! ]
[No man could not care about height! Jiang Lechuan is no exception]
Gu Qi pointed at Mu Yuan next to Jiang Lechuan and answered sincerely, "You are suddenly much taller than him."
In her impression, Jiang Lechuan and Mu Yuan should be about the same height, so it was hard to ignore such a big sudden change.
Jiang Lechuan: "..."
Oh, so it was like this.
[Jiang Lechuan, who in the world doesn't know that you are 179.7? It's too late to put on insoles now! ]
[Jiang Lechuan: If I were given another chance, I would start putting on insoles from the moment I debuted! ]
Jiang Lechuan was only embarrassed for three seconds when Elder Sister exposed him in public for wearing insoles.
After all, there was nothing he could do. His height was no secret!
So Jiang Lechuan muttered, "I, I can still grow taller!"
And at this moment.
Shen Anran turned to him and blurted out, "You are so cute."
Everyone: "?"
Jiang Lechuan looked over in confusion, with a expression of seeing a ghost and also as if he wanted to confirm that it was him that Shen Anran described as ‘cute’.
Even Gu Qi had to pay attention.
She stared at Jiang Lechuan, trying to confirm whether her silly Younger Brother would blush in shyness in the next second because of being praised by Shen Anran, a beautiful girl who looked gentle and soft.
It wasn't that he slowly healed by Shen Anran, but fell in love at first sight?
It was obvious that Gu Qi thought too much.
Because the one who blushed at this moment was Shen Anran, she seemed to realize what she said and explained herself with some stammering: "I think that the way you and Elder Sister Gu Qi get along is very cute."
As she said this, her face showed an apologetic look and her eyes kept staring at Jiang Lechuan pitifully, as if she was afraid that he would be angry because of her offensive words.
[Ahhh, my daughter is blushing!!!]
[Shen Anran obviously thinks Jiang Lechuan is cute. Why drag Gu Qi in! Mouth says one thing but meant another! ]
[Family members, who understands? I'm hooked. What's the pink bubble atmosphere of this pure love campus drama? ]
[Because these two faces look so good together! Shen Anran's eyes are like those of a frightened deer. The combination of a soft celestial fairy and a school bad boy will never go out of style! ]
Others may not notice anything unusual, only Ning Xiwei was silently sneering in her heart.
They were all thousand years foxes, what was the point of playing Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio/聊斋? Those eyes was almost glued to Jiang Lechuan!
Who among the female artists of similar age didn't want to take advantage of the popularity of Jiang Lechuan and Wen Renjing on this show?
Anyone with a little bit of brains knew that Wen Renjing wasn't easy to approach. (Although Ning Xiwei didn't want to admit it now), like her, it was normal for her to target Jiang Lechuan.
However, she had used this trick before and it didn't work, because Jiang Lechuan wasn't a normal person.
Initially, Ning Xiwei was mocking Shen Anran for using this method, but when she saw Jiang Lechuan's eyes light up and Shen Anran took a step closer, she had a bad feeling.
Wait.
No way? Shen Anran's compliment made Jiang Lechuan take the bait? Huh? Was there something wrong with his brain? ? ?
Shen Anran curled her lips.
She knew it.
For a brainless boy like Jiang Lechuan, one have to use the most straightforward way to attract him. Direct and sincere compliments were more useful than anything else.
But it was obvious that Ning Xiwei thought too much.
Shen Anran thought too much.
Because Jiang Lechuan replied to her: "You also think my elder sister is very cute? I have felt so for a long time. Although outsiders always think that she has stinky expression and a bad temper, she is actually very soft-hearted! Let me tell you..."
One thousand words that followed were omitted.
Jiang Lechuan became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he was drinking with a bosom friend. The next second, he was going to pull Shen Anran to have dinner together and talk all night to praise Elder Sister's countless advantages.
As long as Shen Anran nodded, they could immediately hold the imperial capital Gu Qi fan support meeting together.
Ning Xiwei: "..."
She thought too much.
She was saying that white lotus, Shen Anran wasn't much better than her. There was no reason why Jiang Lechuan ignored her at the beginning and could fall into Shen Anran's trap now.
The smile on Shen Anran's face changed from shy to confused.
Jiang Lechuan didn't realize that he was being disliked at all and was still endlessly babbling on.
This lasted until Gu Qi couldn't stand it anymore. She stood up and grabbed Jiang Lechuan's collar and pulled him back.
She couldn't listen any more.
It was even more embarrassing to listen to the fans’s upfront rainbow farts of fans. Those who didn't know would think it was a pyramid scheme event and they were about to fast forward to the part where believing in Gu Qi would gain eternal life.
The barrage was full of hahaha at this moment.
[@Jiang Lechuan, I can't stand it anymore. You are such a conspicuous sis-con!!!]
[Give me back my youth campus idol drama!]
[According to this trend, I can already imagine the scene where Jiang Lechuan is confessed by a girl in the future. Girl: I want to be a family with you, Jiang Lechuan: How do you know that my elder sister and I are a particularly happy family? How do you know that my elder sister is super nice?]
[Ning Xiwei's expression is my current expression, full of speechlessness hahaha]
[What's going on? Does this variety show have to have a sweet girl? Ning Xiwei stopped acting and Shen Anran came]
[Gu Qi's expression! I already felt the hell of introverted people]
[I feel that Gu Qi wanted to pamper Jiang Lechuan at first so she didn't stop him from showing off Elder Sister, but this kid kept rambling on and Elder Sister can't stand it hahaha]
Shen Anran's nails almost scratched her palm.
How vexing.
How come this was completely different from what she thought?
Shouldn't Jiang Lechuan and her quickly improve their relationship and become friends? Why was he always talking about Gu Qi?
Shen Anran had no interest in Gu Qi, and could even say that she was a little disgusted now.
Because in Shen Anran's view, Gu Qi was the culprit who caused Jiāng Zhiyu to fall and quit the show and in turn caused the plot to inexplicably deviate.
Besides, Gu Qi obviously beat her in the last interview. If it weren't for the help of her uncle who made movies, she would have no chance to enter Jinyue Film and Television!
Shen Anran didn't want to talk about Gu Qi, nor did she want everyone's attention to be on Gu Qi. After all, she knew that she was the female lead.
But at this time, her elder brother, who was tall but not smart, started talking to Jiang Lechuan. He seemed to have digested Jiang Lechuan's words and asked, "Will your elder sister watch cartoons with you?"
Shen Jinyi's eyes showed a touch of envy.
Because in his memory, the sisters in his family disdained him and Younger Sister.
Although Younger Sister was close to him, she wouldn't do childish things like watching cartoons with him.
For Shen Jinyi, what he remembered most was his father's scolding and Younger Sister’s repeated chants -
To work hard to learn how to handle the company's affairs and to take control of all the power, so that they, the siblings, could live a life of superiority.
But Shen Jinyi have headaches at the sight of contracts. those densely packed words were simply hell.
He wanted to tell his father that he wasn't that kind of material and it would be better to give it to anyone else.
But Younger Sister said no, this position must be his. Only when he sits firmly, she and her mother could have a good life.
He could only grit his teeth and follow his father, learning to handle those documents that he originally couldn't understand over and over again.
Although he didn't do very well, at least he didn't make mistakes like before.
For Shen Jinyi, the happiest thing for him in all these years was today. He and Younger Sister participated in the variety show together and watched her daily life. He heard that they could complete tasks and play games. Just the thought of it was very interesting.
"Yes! You can watch it with your younger sister! Let's..."
Jiang Lechuan chatted with Shen Jinyi.
Wen Renjing glanced at Gu Qi, whose face showed a look of despair, and then stood up.
One hand grabbed Jiang Lechuan's collar and led him forward. The other hand patted Shen Jinyi's shoulder, who he met for the first time, and said politely: "Please come over."
Jiang Lechuan was confused.
Shen Jinyi didn't understand either, but he followed.
After sending both of them out the door, Wen Renjing smiled at them, then closed the door from the villa, and turned back to take credit: "Elder Sister, look, the world is quiet."
Gu Qi: "..."
This was one way.
Outside the door came the sound of Jiang Lechuan knocking on the door and his yelling at Wen Renjing for not doing anything decent.
[Hahaha Gu Qi: So noisy, I can bear it. Wen Renjing: So noisy, all of you get out of here]
[Wen Renjing: I am the most caring Younger Brother to Elder Sister! Unlike Jiang Lechuan who only embarrasses Elder Sister~]
[Every week when I watch this show, I have to sigh that Gu Qi's temper is good]
[I suddenly remembered that a long time ago, Gu Qi had an interview. The host asked her what she thought about the outside world saying that she had a bad temper. Gu Qi's answer was——
I am the person with the best temper in our family. ]
[I have seen it, I have seen it! At that time, I thought Gu Qi was making a bad joke, but now it seemed to be true, hahaha]
[Before, I was young and ignorant, and thought Gu Qi was arrogant and cold, but now I simply say, "This is my Elder Sister"]
…
When Jiang Lechuan charged back in again, he naturally gave up bragging about Elder Sister and started to seek revenge on Wen Renjing.
[From Jiang Lechuan's ‘tearful’ description, he has the best elder sister in the world, the most obedient Younger Brother, and the most vicious... uh, elder brother]
[But I think it's not just Wen Renjing, Mu Yuan and Gu Qi's eyes are full of disgust. Is this okay to say?]
[Hahaha Jiang Lechuan: I am a pitiful child who have lost the love of the family]
Of course, it was the director's request for silence and announcement of the mission that stopped Jiang Lechuan from attacking everyone.
The first event today was——
Escape room.
Everyone must drive to the mission location of the escape room with the production team.
Now it was the two-person combat stage. Within the specified time, the more ‘ghost name tags’ collected in the escape room, the higher the team ranking would be.
After entering the escape room, each scream would deduct a ‘ghost name tag’, so each guest must find more 'ghost name tags' without screaming as much as possible.
In the end, each group could enter the store provided by the production team and through the ghost name tags they have, they could buy gifts for any guest including themselves.
Only the winner of each group could decide how to distribute the ghost name tags.
When Jiang Lechuan saw that Gu Qi and Wen Renjing were assigned to the same group, he couldn't understand: "Shouldn't it be me and Elder Sister in the same group?"
How did it become Wen Renjing?
The explanation of the director team was -
The audience wanted to see.
New grouping meant shouldn’t have repeat combination.
Jiang Lechuan was of course dissatisfied. Seeing that he was about to make a scene, Gu Qi could only say: "I don't trust Wen Renjing to take care of Mu Yuan, so I'll leave Younger Brother to you."
Jiang Lechuan: "!"
Suddenly, a sense of responsibility and pride arose.
So, Elder Sister trusted him more than Wen Renjing?
Well, then! As the reliable elder brother of the whole family, he would definitely take the responsibility of taking care of and protecting Younger Brother! He would never let Elder Sister down!
For Mu Yuan, he wasn't very satisfied with this grouping either.
If he couldn't do it, he would rather be in the same group with Jiang Lechuan and Gu Qi than Wen Renjing.
But...
Forget it, it was better than letting Elder Sister and Ning Xiwei together.
Soon the director team read out the theme of the escape room.
It was ironic that the theme of the escape room they recorded today was ‘School Horror’, and the background of the story was that a girl who was bullied in school took revenge on everyone after her death.
[Good gosh, @Jiāng Zhiyu, although you aren’t in the show, the show still has your legend]
[Jiāng Zhiyu left too early! If it was exposed after this episode, it will be a complete irony! ]
The production team certainly didn't deliberately target Jiāng Zhiyu. They don't have the courage to do that.
I was a coincidence that after the ‘Jiāng Zhiyu bullying incident’ was exposed, they asked whether they needed to replace it and the answer they got was to record as usual.
The director didn't understand.
Since the higher-ups didn't care, it was none of his own business either. It would be more convenient if he didn't have to change the plan!
Everyone stood at the door of the escape room.
Jiang Lechuan's hand was on Mu Yuan's shoulder at some point, and he said smugly: "You will hang out with me later. Elder Brother will protect you."
Mu Yuan: "..."
No, he didn't need it.
And it was obvious that Jiang Lechuan was unreliable.
So Mu Yuan wanted to turn back and look for Gu Qi.
Then he saw Ning Xiwei had hugged Gu Qi's arm. For some reason his voice became tighter again, saying: "I will protect you too."
Mu Yuan: "..."
He knew it.
Again and again! The seventeen-year-old Mu Yuan finally lost his patience.
He turned to Zhizi, and then at Ning Xiwei
The boy didn't talk often, so his voice was a little hoarse. He asked, "Don't you have your own elder sister?"
