The netizens were all dumbfounded.
In particular, those who were not watching the livestream were leaving comments on Shi Sui’s page in a frenzy.
—— [Ah, who hacked into his account?]
—— [Shi Sui: I ship myself with Xiang Yi?]
—— [Forget it if he’s following the page, why did he upvote it too? Hey!]
…
The netizens who were in the know decided to help explain the situation.
[Oh, oh, Shi Sui and Xiang Yi were hosting a livestream and during their interaction with the fans, they saw someone mentioning about “Untimely Couple” so Shi Sui searched it up and even followed the forum page. This man is so dedicated to the variety show, I admire him!]
There were also some who doubted so.
[Is it really just an exaggeration for the variety show? I think he’s more supportive of that idea than I am…]
Of course, the Shisui Sisters were all insistent that Shi Sui was just deliberately pretending to be supportive for the sake of adding a dramatic effect to the variety show.
…
In the kitchen.
The aroma of the goose meat that was being stewed in the iron pot had already wafted up into the air. Xiang Yi had also added Chinese herbs like ginger, herbal fruits, nutmeg, and so on. The subtle fragrance of the herbs had blended in perfectly with that of meat, forming a heavenly aroma!
Xiang Yi had gotten completely distracted from cooking and she couldn’t help but ask, “I heard that they ship us as a couple…”
“And so?” Shi Sui asked candidly as he met her gaze.
His rhetorical question made Xiang Yi dumbfounded.
‘Uh…am I just making mountains out of molehills?’
‘It seems that Shi Sui is just making a joke out of it… There doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with following it…right?’
If Xiang Chen or Xiang Li were around, they would have been able to see through his conspiracy!
He was just so good at fooling others!
Xiang Yi had successfully brainwashed herself and figured out the logic of it. “Supporting myself seems to be quite interesting and fun, huh?”
In the livestream:
—— [Hahahah Xiang Yi’s confused expression is so funny.]
—— [Shi Sui, don’t be fooled by the sly old fox. You’re not allowed to date anyone! I won’t allow it!]
—— [I’m a new fan. What kind of a nonsensical program is this? She’s stewing a goose and shipping herself with another celebrity? No way, I have to start binging on this show!]
Everyone in the livestream was guffawing merrily and the hashtags #UntimelyCouple and #ShiSuiTopFans even made it to the hot search list. Shi Sui and Xiang Yi also gained plenty of followers.
…
At a restaurant in Nancheng.
Qin Wanyan drank with the bosses for half a day and thought that she could get the opportunity to star in the variety show. Although she just wanted the chance to be a temporary guest on the show, it was an extremely popular national variety show that was well received by audiences of all ages.
However, after she returned from a brief trip to the bathroom to touch up her makeup, she saw that the directors and others were laughing incessantly while staring at their phone screens.
“Hahahah, Shi Sui is so funny! This female celebrity is amusing too!”
“Her name is Xiang Yi. She’s part of the cast for ‘Two Under One Roof,’ a show that I pay close attention to. She’s very talented, can play a variety of instruments, and has an excellent set of culinary skills!”
“Is that so? In that case, she’s quite suitable for our variety show.”
“…”
Seeing that the opportunity was about to be given to Xiang Yi, Qin Wanyan clenched her fist and said with a feeble sigh, “I do know Xiang Yi. We used to be best friends, but now that she has become famous, she stopped hanging out with me.”
The director frowned.
Qin Wanyan decided to fan the flames and add fuel to the fire. “She’s embroiled in lots of messy relationships with many male celebrities too. I have screenshots for proof.”
While showing the screenshot to the directors, Qin Wanyan said, “Well she’s a temptress…”
