Ji Lin coaxed and pestered Siyu for a long time until she had no choice but to agree to go on the show with him. When Director Liang heard that they were both going to participate in the variety show, he generously gave them three days off.
While they were discussing, Xu Qingwan happened to pass by and overheard every word. She immediately stopped in her tracks and looked at Siyu with a fake smile. "Congratulations! You've just debuted and you're already on the top variety show. You're not like us, who no one cares about. But it's not good for newcomers to compete with you like this. "
Her words were like a needle in a velvet glove. If someone who didn't know the situation heard it, they would think that Siyu had gotten this opportunity through the back door. Ji Lin immediately frowned and said in a low voice, "The program team decides who is chosen as a guest. Are you saying that I shouldn't be on the show?"
Ji Lin choked back his words. Xu Qingwan's face stiffened, and there was a hint of hurt in her eyes. "Brother Ji, of course I didn't mean that. You're currently popular. How can you be treated like a newbie?"
Siyu pulled Ji Lin's sleeve to stop him from continuing to argue with Xu Qingwan. She turned to look at Xu Qingwan, who was looking eagerly at Ji Lin, and said coldly, "Xu Qingwan, you're belittling yourself when you say that no one cares about you. Don't you have good relationships with many sponsors and even the media? If you want to be on the show, you just have to ask someone. Isn't that easy?"
Xu Qingwan's breathing stagnated. Impossible. Where did this woman find out? She clearly hid it very well! When she realized that Ji Lin was looking at her with a hint of scrutiny, Xu Qingwan panicked and hurriedly explained, "No, don't listen to her nonsense. I'm just friends with those people!"
It would have been better if she didn't say it. Once she said it, it was equivalent to confirming Siyu's words. Friends — who would believe that?
Siyu deliberately didn't lower her voice. Xu Qingwan's shout wasn't soft either, so many people around them heard it. The doubtful and distrustful gazes that used to fall on Siyu were now cast on Xu Qingwan.
Xu Qingwan had always been very popular in the crew. She would purposely maintain a good relationship with the others. She would pay for all the afternoon tea every day. Previously, no one had doubted where she got so much money, but now that Siyu said it, everyone suddenly understood. No wonder Xu Qingwan wore branded clothes every day. No one had heard that she was a fair, rich, and beautiful woman. It turned out that there was such a layer of relationship between them!
Ji Lin had always been a man of his sister's words. He could feel that Siyu faintly disliked Xu Qingwan. He thought that he didn't like this person anyway, so he very energetically added a stab to her. "I think Sister Siyu isn't talking nonsense. Do you think no one saw you drinking tea and eating with Chairman Wang?"
Xu Qingwan's face instantly turned pale.
She felt the gazes on her from all directions, and her face burned. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she seemed to hear people pointing at her. Xu Qingwan worked very hard to maintain her image in the crew. Today, her image was shattered by Siyu with just a few words. She was ashamed and resentful, and only felt uncomfortable all over. She didn't even have the courage to ask Siyu how she found out. She just wanted to leave this damned place as soon as possible, so she hurriedly turned and left.
Xu Qingwan was so flustered that she didn't know where to go. She ran all the way out of the set from the side door, but she was blocked by a reporter who was waiting there. Director Liang's movie was sealed during the filming period, and no media interviews were allowed. This reporter could only wait at the door. He just happened to bump into Xu Qingwan. His eyes immediately lit up, and he hurriedly rushed up with a microphone.
"Wait a minute, beautiful lady. I'm a reporter from Orange Entertainment Weekly. Is it convenient for you to ask a few questions? Don't worry, these questions won't involve any spoilers. I heard that there's an actress in your crew called Zhou Siyu. You know her, right? Can you tell me what you think of her? I heard that she has a very good relationship with the popular superstar Ji Lin. Is this true? "
The reporter was as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He finally caught her. Ever since that black post appeared on the forum, Siyu became the focus of a war between fans and haters on Weibo overnight. Ji Lin's hardcore fans, who had always been against actors of the opposite sex, actually praised Siyu. In this war of words, they supported Siyu. It was inevitable that people's imagination would run wild, and they would suspect the relationship between the two.
Unfortunately, every time Siyu left the set, she would be picked up by the Lu family's subordinates. These reporters couldn't find her at all. This time, Xu Qingwan finally came, and she immediately asked a lot of questions.
Xu Qingwan was stunned, but she quickly reacted. She smiled gracefully and said, "Are you talking about Siyu? It's hard to say what their relationship is, but outside of filming, Siyu often goes to the lounge to look for Brother Ji."
The reporter automatically translated her words. "So, Zhou Siyu took the initiative to express her goodwill to Ji Lin? Can you tell me more about it? "
Xu Qingwan's smile widened. "Of course."
…
"Unthinkable Challenge" was filmed in Jiangcheng. Siyu and Ji Lin were invited as special guests at the same time. After greeting Director Liang, they flew back together. This time, the production team rented an entire villa in the suburbs as the filming location. As soon as the two got off the plane, the production team sent a group of people to follow them.
The leader was a thin girl. As soon as she saw Siyu, her face lit up with joy. She even secretly took out the issue of Siyu's magazine and asked her to sign it. After getting what she wanted, she happily put the magazine away and looked at Ji Lin. "Brother Ji, you're finally here. Everyone's here. We're just waiting for you."
Ji Lin looked at her enthusiasm, which was no different from that of an ordinary fan, and asked, "You like Sister Siyu a lot?"
The girl replied proudly, "Of course. I've been paying attention to Siyu since the beginning. I can finally see her in person. She's indeed prettier than in the photos."
Si Yu was a little embarrassed by her praise. Who would have thought that her silly little brother would nod his head in agreement. "You're right!"
When the two Braised Fish fans saw each other, they teared up and excitedly chatted with each other. In the end, it was the cameraman who reminded them that they were going to be late. The group then hurriedly got into the car sent by the production team and rushed to the villa.
Because they were filming the whole time, the girl acted as a temporary host. She asked a few small questions to liven up the atmosphere. In the end, she asked jokingly, "Everyone says that our show is called 'Friendship Fails'. If you become enemies, are you willing to set each other up?"
Ji Lin was full of confidence and said, "I think Sister Siyu and I will definitely be in the same team. You don't have to worry about that. I've never thought about it!"
Siyu smiled and said, "It's up to fate. It's better that you die than me."
Ji Lin's confident expression was in stark contrast to Siyu's resigned expression. The hostess couldn't help but laugh. "Brother Ji, you should take it easy. Sister Siyu doesn't seem to be going easy on you."
The car soon stopped at the destination. The hostess led them in and introduced the guests. At first, it was fine, but when the name "Chu Shuangyan" was mentioned, Ji Lin couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
Siyu was also stunned. This Chu Shuangyan … Wasn't she the supporting female character in "Superstar Doting Marriage"? She actually participated in this show?
Speaking of this Chu Shuangyan, her family was on good terms with the Ji family. She and Ji Lin could be considered childhood sweethearts and had been liked by the Duan Rulan since they were young. The Duan Rulan had always wanted the two families to become in-laws. Unfortunately, Ji Lin had no feelings for Chu Shuangyan at all. He was even a little tired of this pestering princess syndrome and was very resistant to it. In fact, part of the reason why he escaped from home and entered the entertainment industry was because he was forced to do so by Chu Shuangyan and the Duan Rulan.
After that, Chu Shuangyan followed him into the entertainment industry in order to pursue Ji Lin. This was an era where people relied on their image. With her sweet appearance, Chu Shuangyan's princess syndrome personality attracted many die-hard fans. She had always acted ostentatiously and had once publicly said that Ji Lin was her ideal type. It was only because she had the support of her family that everything went smoothly for her.
"This troublemaker is actually here too … Why didn't anyone inform me?" Ji Lin asked with a dark expression.
The lead girl was a little embarrassed. "Movie Queen Guan had something to do at the last minute and couldn't come, so the production team found someone else to replace her. Because it happened so suddenly, we didn't have time to inform you …" The reason why they had found Chu Shuangyan was firstly because she had strongly requested it, and secondly because it was a hot topic!
It was already semi-public that Chu Shuangyan liked Ji Lin. Putting the two of them together could increase the popularity of the show. This was a good deal, so the production team was naturally happy to see it happen.
Since they were already here, of course, they couldn't just leave. Ji Lin's expression was dark as he silently followed Siyu into the villa.
The other six guests were already waiting in the living room. When a sweet girl in a bubble dress saw Ji Lin, she happily called out, "A Lin!" She wanted to stand up and run towards him.
Ji Lin complained incessantly. He really didn't like this kind of spoiled girl, so he said in a low voice, "Sis, let's go, let's go. If we get entangled with her, we'll be done for."
As he said that, he half-pushed and half-pulled Siyu, walked around half the living room, and sat in the corner furthest away from Chu Shuangyan.
Chu Shuangyan glared at Siyu. If his gaze could turn into a knife, it would have already pierced through Siyu's heart. She wanted to sit over there, but the sofa was already full. The other people present were all famous celebrities, and the cameras had been recording the entire time. Chu Shuangyan couldn't go too far, so he could only reluctantly return to his seat.
Siyu was innocently caught in the crossfire. She once again regretted how she had drawn such a melodramatic scene, but it was too late to say anything now. She pretended not to feel Chu Shuangyan's gaze on her and looked around. The production team had specially decorated the villa, and the furniture inside had been changed to medieval style. It looked quite like an ancient castle.
She was looking around curiously when suddenly, someone beside her handed her a cup of warm water and said softly, "I often heard Director Liang say that he recently found a treasure. I think he must be talking about you, right? You must be tired from the long journey. Drink a cup of warm water to moisten your throat. "
Siyu turned her head in the direction of the voice and saw a handsome man sitting beside her. His face was very gentle, and he was the type of modest gentleman. It was easy for people to have a good impression of him. When he saw Siyu looking at him hesitantly, he smiled knowingly and took the initiative to introduce himself. "I'm Wen Yuan. Perhaps this is the first time we've met, but I've heard a lot of stories about you before."
Wen Yuan? The youngest Best Actor?
Siyu had heard of this person before, but she had always thought that this kind of person was not easy to deal with. However, now that she had met him, she found that it was completely the opposite. Wen Yuan had a temperament that made people unconsciously want to get close to him. And for Siyu, the most important thing was that Wen Yuan's luck was very good, very good, almost on par with Ji Lin.
"What did you hear?" Siyu was sandwiched between the two people with the most exuberant luck. She was so comfortable that she almost closed her eyes. She took the cup of water that Wen Yuan handed over and took a sip. Her eyes curved into crescents as she asked in a good mood.
From Wen Yuan's point of view, Siyu's expression at this time was very much like a satisfied cat. Unfortunately, her face was too pale, and people couldn't help but feel a little pity for her.
Wen Yuan couldn't help but lower his voice, as if he was afraid of disturbing Siyu. "I said that you're not in good health, but you still dare to immerse yourself in the crew to film all day long. You really don't want to live anymore."
Siyu looked him up and down and said with a smile, "I think that Wanwan must work harder than me. Are you praising me or insulting me?"
This girl's personality was very straightforward. This was Wen Yuan's first impression of her. She was sick but not weak. She made people feel pity for her but didn't need anyone's pity. Wen Yuan rarely saw such a girl, and Siyu's serious attitude towards filming won him a very good impression.
"Of course I'm praising you." Wen Yuan said, "It's rare that we have the opportunity to be on the same show. This is fate. I hope that when we draw lots later, we can be teammates."
Originally, Ji Lin had been sitting quietly by the side, but when these words came out, Young Master Ji couldn't help but say, "What teammate? Sister can only be on the same team as me!"
"I say, Wen Yuan, that's enough. Don't use the way you coax your fans on Sister Siyu. Is she someone you can coax?" Ji Lin was like a pig who had discovered the potential to steal his cabbage. He stared at Wen Yuan with very vigilant eyes and said solemnly, "Just wait and see!"
