The trend seemed to have stopped.
Everything fell silent. It was as if someone had pressed the pause button.
Zhuo Yi’s expression changed. He tried to hold back, but eventually could not calm down.
Although the popularity of ‘Eating Well For All Three Meals’ wasn’t too bad, it can never be on par with ‘Two Under One Roof’.
The gap between the two variety shows was getting farther and farther.
‘Two Under One Roof’ had a tendency to be a popular hit, but Eating Well For All Three Meals was gradually going downhill.
Zhuo Yi couldn’t figure out why the popularity of the two shows was so different, even though they were both themed around food and romance.
He used all means to come over personally to see what was going on.
However, he didn’t expect them to put him to shame like that!
Zhuo Yi was afraid that the old matter from back then would be brought up so he decided to act before they did and exclaimed in exasperation, “Xiang Yi, you’re being overboard by saying that! Fine, since I’m not welcome here, I’ll just leave!”
His acting skills were not weak so he could get immersed in the role in minutes. He took a large step forward and brushed his sleeve to walk away. He rushed towards Li Jianyu and said, “I came here to support your show and yet you’re treating me with such a hostile attitude. Why should I come here to suffer this mistreatment!?”
The atmosphere was a bit stagnant for a while.
There were empathic netizens who were influenced by Zhuo Yi and started getting emotional too.
–[This is really infuriating. How can you say that about Mr. Zhuo!?!]
–[What did Best Actor Zhuo do wrong? Why must they treat him like this!?!]
–[Shi Sui and Xiang Yi are really the same kind of people. They’re both oddballs, it’s no wonder that they can get along well!]
…
Zhuo Yi was really good at acting and this scene was probably the pinnacle of his career over the years.
His act would be convincing under the premise that he never meets Xiang Feng, the ender of all acts and pretense.
Unfortunately, this time, he ran into Xiang Feng.
Xiang Feng questioned, “Uh, what’s-your-name, no one invited you here, right? Didn’t you come all the way here out of your own accord!?!”
As one of the sponsors of ‘Two Under One Roof’, Xiang Feng had long perused the guest list, and he remembered clearly that Zhuo Yi’s name wasn’t on the list.
“…” Zhuo Yi stopped in his tracks.
The netizens in front of the screen were dumbstruck.
‘What? The lousy variety show didn’t invite Zhuo Yi?’
‘So Zhuo Yi came uninvited today!?!’
Xiang Feng shook his leg in a somewhat ungraceful manner, completely not bothering to maintain his image as a domineering president. “You started panting as soon as someone called you chubby. Who are you putting on an act for? Don’t you know why Xiang Yi criticizes you all the time?”
“…”
Zhuo Yi suddenly had an ominous premonition.
“When you were filming a movie with Shi Sui back then, you threw your weight around as a senior because Shi Sui was still a newcomer then, and ended up hitting him for real during a scene. You even ended up breaking his ribs. Do you really think that you can erase things from the Internet?”
Xiang Feng didn’t cut Zhuo Yi any slack at all. “Before questioning the attitude that others have when facing you, why don’t you reflect on yourself and ask yourself how you treat others? Did your brain leave your body to go feed the penguins in Antarctica?!”
Xiang Feng spoke extremely quickly like a machine gun but there was a large amount of content.
The netizens were stunned.
‘So something like that actually happened?’
The Shi Sui sisters all came forth to chime in.
——[That’s right!!! It’s true!!!]
——[It made headlines at the time, but Shi Sui wasn’t that popular then so it ended up not happening]
— [Zhuo Yi didn’t even bat an eyelid when asked about it during an interview. He even said that it’s only right for seniors to hit their juniors. His malicious comments can be found on Starry Videos.]
…
Zhuo Yi’s body swayed a little. He completely didn’t expect to have gotten himself in trouble instead of getting the clout that he had intended to!
