In a secret underground location on the small island, Jiang Juyou was with the staff controlling the scene, constantly monitoring the progress of the five participants to prevent any deviation from the plan.
As behind-the-scenes footage, Jiang Juyou and her team were separately edited into a special feature, which would be released online the day after each episode aired. Usually, few people would bother to watch such extras, but because of Jiang Juyou's presence, many were willing to pay for VIP access to view it, even though it required a subscription.
To prevent plot leaks, the NPCs appearing in the show were pixelated in the behind-the-scenes footage, appearing as uniform black silhouettes with their voices muted, only subtitles visible.
Jiang Juyou had given so instructions earlier. She sat in a camping chair, holding a walkie-talkie, "Don't break character. Let see how well you've applied your acting lessons."
While observing the action on the ground, a staff mber approached Jiang Juyou to share so hot gossip, "X just told that they accidentally leaked the script to the five of them earlier."
Hearing this, Jiang Juyou was startled and turned to look. The staff mber continued, "But they thought it was too long and didn't read it."
"Hahaha, who? Who could do such a thing?"
"My guess is either Pei Luming or Chi Qiao. They're the only ones smart enough to pull that off."
"Hahaha, the show almost ended before it even started."
At this mont, the monitoring screen showed them inside the convenience store. After seeing the doorknob to the storage room move a few tis, the five scattered around the store like ants caught in the rain, eventually squeezing behind the shelves with only their ears sticking out.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Juyou lowered her head and covered her face, her sigh loud enough to be picked up by the cara.
The viewers in the comnts laughed once during the main show and again during this behind-the-scenes footage, dubbing it the most legendary scene of the first episode.
This video clip was uploaded to Douyin, and marketing accounts made several videos from it, each garnering hundreds of thousands of likes.
The entire internet now knew that this group was both cowardly and dim-witted.
In the plot, there were only seven living people on the entire island, and the task was very simple: explore various locations, find clues, and deduce who the culprit was.
Among the seven, only two were original island inhabitants, so it was either one or the other. In the eyes of the five participants, it seed like a very straightforward matter.
However—
Since they arrived on the small island at night and had been traveling all afternoon, all they could think about was resting first. So on the first night, apart from rummaging around the convenience store for a while, they spent the rest of the ti sleeping at Sang Mo's house.
But when they woke up, the world had changed.
"..."
Pei Luming, the first to wake up, stared blankly at the room with his crooked rabbit headgear, trying to force his brain to boot up, but it wasn't cooperating.
Sunlight from outside crept into the room. Three people were sleeping on the large 1.8-ter bed, with two others on the floor. Sang Mo, who was supposed to be in the bedroom with them, had disappeared, along with the mattress and blanket he had been using the night before.
Not only that, but the room itself looked different from what they had seen before going to sleep.
"Holy crap?"
"?"
"Did Random Entertainnt cast a spell on them now?"
"Not acting anymore, huh? You guys are actually magicians, right?"
The viewers in the comnts were so shocked because during the few hours they were sleeping, the cara didn't cut away. It just played at several tis the normal speed, aning they had witnessed everything.
Even though the people on the bed hadn't woken up or moved locations, when they did wake up, the room had changed. It wasn't just that the furniture had been rearranged; the entire layout was different.
Pei Luming on the bed shook Ye Xing next to him vigorously, "... Bro, wake up quick."
Hearing this, Ye Xing struggled to open his eyes, and then sat up with his ssy rabbit headgear, only to be shocked by what he saw.
"... Where is this?" Ye Xing glanced at Pei Luming, making sure the rabbit headgear on his head was still there before feeling relieved.
"I don't know. It was like this when I woke up. I originally wanted to go to the bathroom, but when I followed the wall, I found that the bathroom had disappeared!" Pei Luming was clearly frightened; goosebumps appeared as he spoke.
Their conversation also alard the others. Gao Xiayu got up and also took a mont to react, "Where is this?"
"I don't know!" Pei Luming's voice grew louder.
This wasn't Sang Mo's large open-plan room, but rather a room similar to a business hotel. Both the decor and layout were completely different from Sang Mo's room.
Yao Shuo, who was the first to get out of bed, went to the window and pulled back the curtains to take a look. After one glance, a chill ran down his spine. He turned towards the others with a shaky heart and said, "... The outside looks different too."
Hearing this, they all rushed to the window to see. Indeed, the outside was different. They had carefully observed their surroundings when they arrived the night before. The road then was like a straight, wide avenue with shops and residences on both sides. Now, there were many small paths below, and the most striking difference was that there were many people around, completely inconsistent with the information they had received about the island being uninhabited.
The most frustrating part was that they had no one to ask. They didn't know if this was arranged by the show or if the five of them had eaten sothing wrong the night before and were hallucinating.
The first episode ended abruptly here, leaving a huge mystery that left the audience craving for more.
When they went to school on Monday, the five of them were constantly interrogated by their classmates who wanted to know the inside story, but none of them would say anything, maintaining strict secrecy.
This variety show brought the biggest buzz. In the week following the premiere of the first episode, the previously declining download numbers for Random iWatch not only rebounded but showed a sharp upward trend.
Nowadays, with shows trying to outdo each other, audiences have beco accustod to novel set designs. However, this was the first ti they had seen such impressive set-building capabilities as those demonstrated by Random Entertainnt.
Especially since the first episode ended right at the climax, just as everyone was getting deeply engrossed, it suddenly cut off, leaving a pile of question marks for them to unravel.
The feeling — it was enough to raise one's blood pressure.
-
"Group na: Jiang's Rabbits Waiting for Slaughter"
"Pei Luming: My classmates keep pressuring to spoil the show..."
"Pei Luming: [Heartbroken] If I had perford well, I wouldn't need them to pressure . I'd go straight to the podium and spoil everything!"
"Pei Luming: I feel like after it's all aired, my image of being handso and mighty will be gone."
"Chi Qiao: At least you were brave once."
"Yao Shuo: Do you need to wait until it's all aired? You didn't have that thing even before broadcasting."
"Pei Luming: ..."
"Gao Xiayu: Look on the bright side, the show's effect is maximized, the audience should be very entertained."
"Pei Luming: Hmm... my future image will be that of a 1.8-ter tall idiot."
"Ye Xing: You're 1.8 ters tall?"
"Pei Luming: What do you an? Don't believe ? Let's go asure!"
"Pei Luming: Co out! I've brought a asuring tape!"
The second episode went live, and the number of simultaneous online viewers broke Random iWatch's record, even higher than during the platform's first few days after launch.
The beginning of this episode was easy to understand. It was about figuring out how this day-and-night difference ca about. But no matter who they asked, everyone acted as if they didn't know anything, even asking if they were filming a show. Anyone could see that these were just clueless passersby.
So the only remaining thod of verification was to wait until nightfall. They planned to stay up all night to see what this change was all about.
The viewers in the comnts also stayed up with them. From 9 PM to midnight, the group's spirits were still high, but after crossing the 2 AM threshold, so started to struggle to stay awake.
Chi Qiao was the first to fall asleep leaning against the headboard, followed by Pei Luming. Gao Xiayu held out until 3 AM but eventually couldn't resist. This was because during the day, they had walked all over the neighborhood looking for clues, probably exceeding 30,000 steps.
The consequence of falling asleep was that the room changed again without them noticing.
"Click..."
In his sleep, Gao Xiayu heard the sound of a door closing. His brain struggled to process it for a mont, then he felt soone lie down next to him. The soft rustling sounds suddenly jolted Gao Xiayu awake.
"Ahhhhhhh!" He scread when he saw Sang Mo appear before him, startling the others out of their sleep.
Sang Mo also started yelling, "Ahhh what's wrong, what's wrong?"
He reached to turn on the light.
Click—
As soon as the light ca on, the eerie, horrifying atmosphere dissipated significantly.
The five of them had all been badly frightened, clutching their chests with pained expressions.
Sang Mo stood by the bed in his pajamas. "What's going on? Why the sudden screaming?"
Yao Shuo was the first to react. He asked, "What ti is it?"
Sang Mo glanced at the digital clock by the bed. "1:47 AM."
"Impossible!" Pei Luming crawled over to look. "I was still awake at 2 AM, how could it only be 1:47?"
As soon as he said that, the others checked the ti on their watches. It was indeed 1:47, but they had all checked the ti after 2 AM earlier, and now not only had the ti changed, but they were back in Sang Mo's house, and Sang Mo himself had returned.
"..."
Things were truly taking a horror movie turn now.
The comnts section also grew serious, with all sorts of theories and analyses flying around. Viewers couldn't wait for the next day to see what behind-the-scenes footage there would be from Jiang Juyou and the others.
anwhile, Jiang Juyou was being interrogated by her sister.
"Just tell , how did you film this part? I know you must have used Sang Mo as a dium to trick them, but how did you switch the rooms? I saw the scene didn't move at all just now," Jiang Tang shook Jiang Juyou frantically, dying of curiosity.
Jiang Juyou: "..." She refused to say.
Though panicked, the group managed to get back on track with the plot thanks to Gao Xiayu and Yao Shuo's calm analysis.
Although they had gone out sightseeing during the day, the nightti tiline hadn't really progressed. It was still stuck at the point when they fell asleep. On the first night, they had fallen asleep around 2 AM, and now they were waking up close to 2 AM again. So they deduced—
"We'll keep looping through this night until the case is solved... No, that's not quite right. If we don't catch the culprit at night, we'll keep coming back here. So—" Gao Xiayu looked at the others, "Let's get up and go find clues!"
"So Sang Mo is really just an NPC then?"
"An NPC arranged to wake them up... Well, that's not bad. At least we get to see Sang Mo."
"Ah... Does that an Chen Wu only has that small part in the first episode?"
"They set up this whole big scenario just to speed up the progress, haha. Forcing them to be active at night!"
The five of them put their detective outfits back on and prepared to go downstairs to look for clues. They wanted to invite Sang Mo along to give him more screen ti, but he declined, saying he had to go on duty.
"That's fine, we'll go to your place first to look for clues then. The town police station should have a lot of useful information," Pei Luming said cleverly.
Sang Mo paused for a mont. "...Alright." Then he agreed happily.
The ti in the show was after 2 AM, but in reality it was almost 5 AM. However, because it was overcast, you couldn't really tell.
As they went downstairs, their watches pushed a notification.
After reading it, Ye Xing reminded them, "It says it's going to rain soon. Should we go to the convenience store to buy umbrellas first?"
"Sure," Gao Xiayu said. He was about to turn and ask Sang Mo, when he heard him say, "I'm going to be late for my shift, so I'll head over first. You can co directly later."
Pei Luming nodded, "Okay, we'll bring an umbrella for you too."
Before they parted, Yao Shuo's gaze lingered on Sang Mo for a long ti. After seeing him walk away, he moved closer to Gao Xiayu and whispered, "I think sothing's off about him."
"...Shh, don't startle the snake in the grass," Gao Xiayu said in a low voice, then glanced at Pei Luming.
Beside them, Pei Luming solemnly rubbed his stomach. "...I'm hungry."
Ye Xing standing next to him: "..."
-
Chen Wu was sitting at the cash register reading a newspaper when the five of them entered the convenience store. Seeing them co in, he said in surprise, "Why are you here again? Don't you sleep?"
Pei Luming went straight for the umbrellas, pulling out several. "We ca to buy umbrellas. The weather forecast says it's going to rain soon."
"How do you know it's going to rain?" Chen Wu looked puzzled. He flipped through the newspaper, "The new papers just arrived. I only just put them out and found out it's going to rain starting tonight."
The words "new papers just arrived" triggered sothing in them. They all turned to look at Chen Wu in unison, even the usually empty-headed Pei Luming and Chi Qiao grew more alert.
Yao Shuo was closest, so he went straight to the counter and grabbed a paper. "Let see."
The weather forecast was in the upper right corner, but what really caught their attention was the big headline: [Another Victim Found]
It listed where the body was discovered, along with a photo showing a suitcase lying in so bushes.
Yao Shuo stared at the photo, suddenly looking stunned as if he'd been struck.
"What's wrong?" Gao Xiayu also ca over to look.
The group gathered around saw the photo - a deep purple suitcase with the zipper area blurred out. They had seen this suitcase before - it was the one Sang Mo had when they first arrived on the island.
Pei Luming clutched his chest and stepped back with his eyes closed. "Did I ever ntion to the producers that I'm very easily scared..."
The scariest things in the world are never ghosts, but the scenes one's own mind conjures up.
Just thinking about having to go into the woods at 2-3 AM with just the few of them to find the cri scene made Pei Luming's legs go weak.
While Pei Luming was still soothing his poor heart, the others in front had already decided to go look for clues in the forest.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"
Suddenly there was a fluttering sound outside, like sothing flying past, and the sound of soone running quickly.
Everyone in the convenience store couldn't help but shrink back, clutching each other's clothes and retreating further inside.
Gao Xiayu was the first to react. He dropped the newspaper and ran outside, wanting to catch whoever it was. Seeing Gao Xiayu run out, the others called out anxiously. At this mont, Yao Shuo tilted his head, "Could it be that all 21 people have arrived?" He was referring to the other two groups from the debut competition.
"Yeah, how could there only be two NPCs on the island?"
"Love to see it, bring more!"
"The nostalgia is real!!!"
Whatever had made the noise quickly disappeared. Gao Xiayu couldn't catch up and stopped to catch his breath. The others had followed him out, and seeing that Gao Xiayu hadn't gone far and wasn't chasing anymore, they stopped too.
"What was it?" Yao Shuo asked him.
Gao Xiayu straightened up, still panting, and shook his head. "Couldn't see clearly. It went over the rooftops. It could fly."
Hearing this, Ye Xing looked up at the rooftops. Just then, raindrops began to fall.
The rain was light, falling gently to the ground like scattered dandelion seeds, dampening the road. Pei Luming used his hand to shield his head and said to the others, "Let's go put on our raincoats first, otherwise we'll catch colds."
"Alright," Gao Xiayu nodded.
At this point, Ye Xing took a step back and looked at the group. "...Where's Chi Qiao?"
"He didn't co out, did he?" said Pei Luming.
The group exchanged glances, a bad feeling rising. They went back, but couldn't see any sign of those two.
Theories about Chi Qiao, Chen Wu, and Sang Mo began to form in their minds.
The comnts also grew tense:
"Great, the culprit must be one of those three!"
"High-energy warning ahead."
"Don't tell Chi Qiao was taken by Chen Wu?"
"Was that noise just now to lure people away so Chen Wu could take Chi Qiao?"
The viewers' imaginations were running wild, but in reality—
In the underground staff area, everyone froze in place. The previously quiet environnt was disrupted by the appearance of two people.
Jiang Juyou sat in a chair, staring exasperatedly at Chi Qiao and Chen Wu who had fallen down. The expression on her face could kill.
The show's post-production team even added mischievously: [Oops!]
This major mishap directly signaled the show's demise. The entire underground studio fell silent, with everyone looking to Jiang Juyou for direction.
"What's going on?"
"Huh?"
"Hahaha, did it just crash and burn?"
Jiang Juyou frowned, taking a sip of her iced coffee. Several empty cups were already on the small table, indicating how many she had consud.
The program they had planned for so long was ruined, and viewers were already worried about the two who had fallen.
Everything had been normal at first. Chi Qiao had wanted to run out too, but when leaving, he instinctively pressed on the cash register for support, triggering a chanism. Chen Wu fell straight down, while Chi Qiao jumped into the cash register to save Chen Wu.
When this scene appeared, viewers assud Chi Qiao and Chen Wu had caused trouble, but suddenly the scene changed—
In the post-production room:
Gao Xiayu sat in a chair, still holding the microphone used for recording. A staff mber told him, "Pei Luming's birthday is coming up soon. We've prepared a surprise for him to celebrate his birthday and commorate his upcoming entry into high school. We'd like you all to participate in this surprise."
The other mbers were also inford of this, and there were even interview scenes with Sang Mo and Chen Wu. This interview took place on the day of their signing event, with their makeup and styling unchanged.
"Ahhhhh!"
"Damn! They fooled too!"
"Hahaha, I wonder what Pei Luming's reaction will be!"
The staff explained their task: "During the competition, Pei Luming's wish was to be the protagonist once. So the main task of this show is to portray Pei Luming as a hero. You'll encounter difficulties and be rescued by Pei Luming. Of course, you can't tell him about this, not even after filming is complete. He should only find out when he watches the show himself, as we plan to release it on Pei Luming's birthday. We believe this will be his most unforgettable birthday."
The comnt section exploded with laughter when this part was shown. The words "Happy Birthday" were drowned in a sea of "hahahaha".
After introducing this premise, even the scene of being tied up in the car took on a new perspective. Pei Luming was the clown throughout, as he was the only one wearing a blindfold and headphones the entire ti. The others were busy making faces at the cara, leaving ssages for Pei Luming who would be watching the show later.
The sudden room change at night was also planned. Gao Xiayu had inford the production team that Pei Luming slept the deepest during the first hour and a half after falling asleep, so deep that he might not even hear people dancing next to him.
During the night transfer, Pei Luming was wrapped in a blanket and carried on a cart by the staff, while the others followed behind carrying their own belongings.
"You guys... speculating for a whole week about how we were transferred... made look like an idiot."
"Hahaha, Pei Luming in his own personal horror show!"
"I'm dying of laughter, this is a new height for Chinese variety shows!!!"
"I thought only Sang Mo was a good actor, turns out you were all acting for him!!!"
"Another legendary mont has been born!"
The scene cut back to the staff monitoring room. Jiang Juyou looked at the two who had fallen, speechless for a mont. This device was originally ant to transfer the other mbers, creating the illusion that everyone except Pei Luming had been hard. But due to their operational error, the progress planned for several days later had been brought forward to today.
Jiang Juyou raised her cup and turned to look at the two, "... Choose between wrapping up early or climbing out and improvising yourselves."
The two didn't say anything, but their quick movents to jump up showed they had chosen the latter.
"Hey—" Jiang Juyou stopped the two who were frantically feeling the walls, pointing behind her, "Go up those stairs. They lead to the bushes behind the convenience store. Rember to close the cover when you get up there."
The two nodded, hunching their shoulders and walking towards the stairs with their heads bowed.
anwhile, upstairs in the convenience store, Pei Luming was on the verge of tears, frantically searching everywhere, even going into the storage room to see if the two were in there.
The others were also searching, but constantly keeping an eye on Pei Luming's movents to prevent him from touching the switch on the cash register.
"It's so obvious now!"
"Great, now Pei Luming is the only fool in the whole world."
"Hahaha, poor thing, he's about to cry! But I'm so happy watching this."
Everyone was probably quite happy tonight, except for Pei Luming.
He was watching the second episode of the variety show in the dormitory. Initially, he was grinning and happily reading the comnts, but after the twist, he couldn't smile anymore.
"Pei Zhiping Big Idiot: Hahahahahahaha!"
"Pei Zhiping Big Idiot: I'm dying of laughter!"
"Pei Zhiping Big Idiot: Thank you, finally sothing good happened today!"
"Pei Zhiping Big Idiot: Hahaha how can soone be so stupid!"
Pei Luming blocked Pei Zhiping, then scrolled through his photo album, found a of a kitten sitting on a bed crying while looking at a computer, and posted it on Weibo.
"@Titrain: #PeiLuming# [image]"
Fearing his fans might over-interpret, he also replied in the comnts with another [I cried, but I was faking it].
Outside the door, several people were standing with a cake, ears pressed against the door listening for any sound from inside. They had heard so laughter earlier, but now it was completely silent, so they knew Pei Luming must have reached that part.
Gao Xiayu knocked on the door. Ye Xing stood behind him holding the cake, waiting for Pei Luming to co out. Their manager stood to the side with a phone, ready to record.
Inside, Pei Luming dawdled for a while before opening the door. When he did, his lips were pursed and his eyes were red.
"Bang—"
The party poppers went off, and they all shouted, "Happy Birthday!"
After shouting, they noticed his red eyes and tear-stained face.
Chi Qiao's heart sank, and he quickly hugged the little puppy, "Oh no, don't cry. We're sorry, we're so sorry. If you're angry, we'll curse at Producer Jiang with you."
This made Pei Luming even more emotional. His eyes welled up again, and he raised his hand to wipe away a tear.
The older mbers hurriedly apologized.
Having heard enough apologies, Pei Luming wiped his eyes and finally smiled, "Ha! Fooled you! That's what you get for all ganging up to trick ! Tonight before bed, I'm going to curse you all to wet your beds!"
"Alright, alright, we'll all sleep in Pei Luming's room tonight!" Yao Shuo imdiately said.
Pei Luming shot him a death glare, and Chi Qiao quickly hugged the little puppy, saying, "Let's sleep in Yao Shuo's room! We'll all squeeze onto his bed! Drive this clean freak crazy!"
This video was also posted on Weibo. Group fans were moved to tears by the beautiful team spirit and friendship, while CP fans looked for sweet monts in the video. Only solo fans were secretly competing, especially Pei Luming's fans, whose faces were darker than ever, clearly dissatisfied with the company's hidden cara prank.
Casual viewers, on the other hand, enjoyed it imnsely. After watching the variety show, they ca to Weibo and found this follow-up. An entertainnt blogger reposted the video, touched by Pei Luming's cuteness. This repost successfully broke into the hot topics, breaking the monopoly of solo fans on hot reposts, indicating how large the casual viewer base for this Weibo post was.
Jiang Liuxing, who had also finished watching the show, ca to Weibo. After seeing this series of operations, she wanted to applaud her sister and cheer loudly.
She got out of bed, opened the door to the living room, startling her two sisters sitting on the carpet. Jiang Liuxing suddenly had a fit, punching and kicking the air, then gave Jiang Juyou a thumbs up, "Sis, you're really amazing!"
Jiang Juyou turned to look at Jiang Tang, "She's at ho..."
"I don't know, I thought she went out," Jiang Tang shrugged.
Ignoring what her two sisters were saying, the independent Jiang Liuxing returned to her bedroom, opened her computer, and noted down her sister's operational strategy.
"Utilize the popular mber with a standout personality as the team's main promotion, targeting the market outside the circle. Use the popular mber to attract fans for the group, converting casual viewers into group fans."
After writing this down, she replayed it in her mind, marveling more and more, "...How is she so good at grasping the market?"
This program's birthday celebration for Pei Luming is just a facade; the real aim is to create public interest in him. Both his personality and appearance are very likable, so using Pei Luming as a stepping stone to open the door to public recognition is a brilliant move.
Just look at the trending topics now and today's popular videos on Douyin - they're all about Pei Luming. In the group's Weibo posts, even casual viewers of the variety show are pushing into the top comnts. One can imagine how many fans today's episode has brought him.
If it were Ye Xing, the effect might not have been as significant.
From this, Jiang Liuxing concludes, "My sister is a genius... hmm!"
-
Since Titrain's group variety show went online, Random iWatch's download numbers have been increasing day by day, even doubling. They thought the first episode would be the peak, but after the second episode ca out, it once again broke Random iWatch's download records.
When Jiang Juyou went to the company on Monday, she heard this news at the big eting.
Not only did Random iWatch's downloads increase, but even the pilot drama saw a significant rise in subscription rates. A large number of viewers began to accept this rule and chose to pay for good works.
After the eting, Jiang Juyou went upstairs with her assistant. In the elevator, she asked, "What's the current rating?"
"The forum hasn't opened for scoring yet, but the in-app rating is 8.9, and it's still trending upward," the assistant replied, having prepared this information in advance, guessing she would ask.
Jiang Juyou confird, "Is this from paying subscribers?"
"Yes, currently only subscribed viewers can rate."
"Good," Jiang Juyou's expression improved even more.
After exiting the elevator, the assistant continued to report her upcoming schedule, "Next week, there's the first evaluation performance for the female trainees. PD Yang is asking if you have ti..."
"Next week, right? That's fine, arrange the ti as you see fit."
"Alright."
With that, Jiang Juyou walked into her office with her bag. Today, her mood was noticeably better, so much so that even Cong Lixia couldn't help but ask her about it.
"Are you very happy?" he asked, his tone rising along with hers, as if infected by Jiang Juyou's good mood.
Jiang Juyou tossed her bag onto the low sofa, then removed her hair tie to fix her hair. As she tidied her hair, she walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window.
Gazing at the bustling streets below, she smiled again and asked Cong Lixia, "Didn't you not understand before?"
"Why, even though I'm the chairman of Random Entertainnt, those people still don't include or respect much." She folded her arms, recalling those frustrating experiences at previous dinners.
Jiang Juyou looked into the distance and gave the answer Cong Lixia had been curious about for so long, "...Because they don't believe."
"They don't believe these things belong to . They don't believe that a woman from a second-tier university background can achieve this level. They don't believe that a re woman can shake their interests."
"They think there's a man behind , and I'm just a puppet."
"They want to talk to the person behind , not to , a woman."
Cong Lixia fell silent.
Jiang Juyou relaxed her arms and untied the scarf that was constraining her. "They're not wrong, there is soone behind ... isn't there you?" She smiled as she said this, hanging the untied scarf on the coat rack. She turned to sit at her desk, "But whether I'm a puppet or not, you know better than I do."
"You're not," Cong Lixia replied imdiately after she finished speaking.
In a good mood today, Jiang Juyou smiled and poked Cong Lixia's dialogue box, "Of course I'm not!"
Cong Lixia laughed out loud too, his dialogue box even shaking a bit.
It was the first ti Jiang Juyou had heard Cong Lixia laugh out loud. Sowhat surprised, she raised an eyebrow and complinted him, "Your laugh sounds nice."
Then Jiang Juyou saw the control panel in front of her slowly change from light blue to pink.
"You can even blush!"
"..."
-
In the afternoon after school, the practice room downstairs beca lively, with staff and trainees coming and going. Seeing Pei Luming standing there, they couldn't help but glance at him secretly.
The female staff mbers would ask Pei Luming what he was waiting for every ti they passed by.
"I'm waiting for Pei Zhiping... my sister! Just bringing her sothing." He held up the paper bag in his hand, showing it off each ti he explained.
After quite a while, Pei Zhiping finally ca out, sweaty from dance practice.
Pei Luming looked at her exasperatedly, "Can't you wipe off your sweat? What if you catch a cold? Mom will scold again."
"Why would she scold you? We're not training together," Pei Zhiping cut to the chase, directly taking the paper bag from his hand. "What is it?"
He looked down, "Shoes Dad brought back for you, a birthday gift."
Pei Zhiping naturally looked up and asked, "What about yours?"
"Oh, Dad got shoes too."
"No, I an your birthday gift for ."
"Pei Zhiping, one shouldn't be shaless."
Aliali: 67358284d72ede93494505f5"You've earned millions and you can't even buy a birthday gift?"
"What millions! Stop spreading rumors!"
The two had barely exchanged a few calm words before they started bickering. Pei Luming, usually pampered by his brothers, hadn't felt his blood pressure rise like this in a long ti. He covered the back of his head and waved at Pei Zhiping, "You can go back now, talking to you gives a headache."
"Oh..." Pei Zhiping was about to leave when Pei Luming called her back, "Wait, what did you an yesterday when you said there was nothing good? What happened?"
Pei Zhiping fell silent, just quietly looking at her brother who suddenly cared about her. The words circled in her mouth before she swallowed them back.
"...There is sothing good. You making a fool of yourself in front of the whole country is a good thing for . I haven't laughed so happily in a long ti." Pei Zhiping smiled, not caring about Pei Luming's reaction after she finished speaking, and turned to leave.
Pei Luming: "..."
They say Pei Zhiping is a big idiot!
Having lost the argunt, Pei Luming angrily threw a set of military boxing moves at the corner.
Pei Luming: Ahhhhhhhh, I'm so angry!
