Chapter 167
Liu Woxing suddenly froze, her pupils quivering slightly.
“Life is never easy; if you can blame others, don’t blame yourself.”
That sentence…
Before she could even process it, her thoughts were interrupted by Xie Mi’s voice.
“Next, the words for Lai Bingxuan.”
“Lai Bingxuan! You—are my God of Wealth!!”
“I am willing to be your most loyal servant for life! Please let me serve you; I can’t trust anyone else to do it for me.”
She didn’t trust anyone else to handle the money.
Lai Bingxuan was clearly pleased. She raised her chin proudly and hummed, though the curve of her lips betrayed her amusement.
Next came the words for Xu Shuangrong.
Xie Mi began to get abstract.
“Xu Shuangrong, you are a human with two brushes.”
Xu Shuangrong froze. “…?”
The others present were also puzzled. It was the first time someone had complimented her in such a way—it sounded… weird.
One of the male guests snorted and laughed.
Everyone turned instinctively and saw Shen Zhuoqing calmly sipping from his wine glass, the corner of his lips twitching uncontrollably.
“The word ‘human’ is a bit like ‘manure.’”
“But it’s two brushes short of manure.”
Director Niu choked on his water, and Xu Shuangrong turned pale.
[Hahaha I was so confused at first, then Old Shen spoke and I lost it laughing.]
[How do you even follow her train of thought?]
[Genius—‘a human with two brushes,’ hahaha.]
[Got it. Next time, use this to tease others.]
[Teacher Xie’s words always catch me off guard.]
“Finally.”
Xie Mi’s gaze fell on the only guest whose name had not been mentioned: Shen Zhuoqing.
Shen Zhuoqing put down his wine glass and met her eyes, soft with a smile, subtly expecting her words.
Xie Mi, usually quick to speak, paused for once, thinking before looking at him and asking:
“Do you still want to continue being my little follower?”
Shen Zhuoqing’s eyes flickered, memories surfacing.
In that abandoned factory, which had held the nightmares of his childhood, she had appeared like a savior, smiling at him.
“From now on, call me Sixth Sister, and be my little follower.”
The memory slowly aligned with the present scene.
After sixteen long years, she stood before him again, speaking words only they understood.
Shen Zhuoqing’s eyes lit up with a smile, playful and dazzling in the sunlight.
“I always have.”
[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh]
[Xie Mi killing Zhu’ers’ heart like it’s a state banquet]
[How is this not a confession? I don’t care, it is a confession!!]
[Not just ‘want,’ but ‘always have wanted’!]
[This exposes Old Shen’s long-standing intentions.]
[So sweet, let’s all live together!]
Having finished her speech, Xie Mi returned to her seat. This segment had also contributed greatly to the show’s trending topics.
#Yu Jinzhe Review=Fail#
#Xiao Jingxi: Love one person cannot be hidden, love two must be hidden#
#Qiu Chengye, temper explosive but cowardly constitution#
#Liu Woxing: Put down personal morals, enjoy a life without scruples#
#Lai Bingxuan, you are my God of Wealth#
#Xu Shuangrong, a human with two brushes#
#Want to be my little follower? Always have#
A hot topic for every line—netizens couldn’t stop commenting:
[Sensitive, insecure girl]: National server trending king, check the record.
[Li Bala, you’re famous]: Suggest putting insurance on Teacher Xie’s mouth.]
Next was the final speaker, Shen Zhuoqing.
He read letters to everyone in order.
“Xiao Jingxi, born November 10, 2000, in S City, graduated from S City Film Academy, acting department. Actor in Mainland China.”
“Qiu Chengye, born March 2, 2000, in S City, only son of the Qiu family, currently participating in ‘Human Love Observation Room,’ a relatively average male guest.”
“Yu Jinzhe…”
The others started noticing something off.
Director Niu wore the expression of an old man on the subway staring at his phone. His assistant nudged him and handed over a phone.
“Director Niu, look…”
He glanced and nearly rolled his eyes.
Wasn’t Shen Zhuoqing reading everyone’s Baidu Encyclopedia entries?!
The livestream exploded with laughter.
[Hahaha, no wonder it seemed weird. Checked Baidu, and not a single word was different.]
[Did Shen put effort in? He read the Baidu Encyclopedia. Didn’t? He even checked it.]
[Am I the only one laughing at ‘average male guest’? Checked Brother Qiu’s Baidu page, it’s literally written like that. Hahaha, who’s that bold!]
[How did Old Shen not laugh? I’m losing it.]
[This couple is full of life.]
By the latter half, even the slowest guests realized the joke, and it became a test of acting skills.
They had to keep a serious face while recalling their saddest memories and not laugh, knowing how ridiculous Shen Zhuoqing’s reading was.
Only Xie Mi babbled nonstop:
“Xiao Jingxi, you’re born in 2000? I thought you were ’89.”
“Qiu Chengye, you’re an only son? I thought you were a prince.”
“Yu Jinzhe got a campus top ten singer participation award? Just say you were eliminated after registration.”
The female guests, who had barely held it in, now couldn’t contain themselves.
Liu Woxing’s lips twitched uncontrollably; Lai Bingxuan laughed so hard she clutched her stomach.
The male guests closed their eyes in despair, hoping this torturous segment would end soon.
What could be more humiliating than reading someone’s Baidu Encyclopedia in front of them?
“Teacher Xie.”
Being called upon, Xie Mi perked up.
“Hey, it’s my turn!”
Unlike the others, she was excited to see what her Baidu Encyclopedia would say.
But Shen Zhuoqing suddenly put down the letter, stopping the long, meaningless recitation.
He simply looked at her and said one brief sentence:
“Thank you for appearing in my life.”
Xie Mi blinked, pausing. Shen Zhuoqing stayed silent for a moment, so she asked,
“That’s all?”
“Yes, that’s all.”
Shen Zhuoqing smiled gently:
“That’s all I want to say to Teacher Xie.”
Xie Mi pressed on: “What about my Baidu Encyclopedia?”
“There isn’t one.”
“Wow, you…”
Watching her shake her head in frustration, Shen Zhuoqing only smiled silently.
He had once said she was like a gust of wind—coming and going too quickly for him to catch.
But he never hated the wind.
He was grateful.
Grateful for the wind’s appearance.
