[It’s the middle of the night, and Brother Ye is seriously killing me with laughter!]
[Hahaha! @AiliAili, please, take that video down already! Otherwise Brother Ye won’t be able to sleep tonight!]
[What did he even do wrong? He just doesn’t want anyone stealing his little sister away. 😂 Brother, why don’t you go fall in love instead?]
@ShaoYuye : [Fall in love? Not happening in this lifetime. And if you people are going to date, keep your eyes open. Don’t go picking up just any swamp goblin.]
[HAHAHA! Help! Brother Ye, you’re really not afraid of offending people, are you?]
[Waaah! Brother Ye, I’m crying. Forget it, I hereby declare myself your little sister for tonight!]
Even though Shao Yuye spent a while going on a rant, the short video on AiliAili still wasn’t taken down.
Instead, thanks to his strong reaction, it only became even more popular.
The uploader, @Qingwa, took the opportunity to post on Weibo:
[Never thought my video would actually be seen by the future brother-in-law. 🐶🌹
Next video, I’m giving Wanwan a full-on love battlefield—how about N men competing for one woman?]
The comments below were filled with laughter.
[You can tell Teacher Qingwa is Brother Ye’s anti-fan.]
[Darn it! They must’ve been sent by his enemy!]
[Brother Ye, don’t look! It’s a hate comment!]
Shao Yuye was so angry he almost puffed up like a blowfish.
The ‘Yu Yu’s sighed.
Ah well.
When it’s your own idol, you comfort him yourself.
That very night, a fan edit titled:
#What Did He Do Wrong? He Only Made the Same Mistake Every Siscon in the World Makes!#
shot up the trending charts.
The video opened with Shao Yuye swaggering out of a car in the coolest way imaginable. His handsome face was expressionless, sunglasses resting on the bridge of his nose.
Then he solemnly declared:
“Hello, everyone. I’m a top-tier siscon.
“This is my little sister, Shen Wanwan.”
The camera cut to Shen Wanwan.
Her breathtaking looks rivaled Shao Yuye’s—beautiful, cool, elegant, and flawless.
“My little sister is this adorable. How could I possibly let my guard down?
“Whenever a woman tries to get close to me—”
The edit inserted footage from the earlier game where Shao Yuye shoved Bai Ling away during the chair-grabbing challenge.
“Get away from me~!
“Whenever a man tries to get close to my little sister—”
Shao Yuye struck again.
“Keep walking!!”
The finale featured a transformation effect.
Using one of Shao Yuye’s signature poses from his competition days—raising his left hand high—the uploader even added a classic transformation sound effect.
He transformed into the righteous Ultraman.
“My little sister! I’ll protect her!”
The entire video radiated chaotic, joyful energy.
Countless ‘Yu Yu’s and viewers laughed so hard they nearly lost it.
[HAHAHA! Quick, tag Brother Ye so he sees this!]
[I’m dying. That Ultraman ending is the absolute highlight!]
[HAHAHAHAHAHA! Ultraman, don’t look! It’s a hate comment!]
Meanwhile, the production team of <Extreme Challenge> finally completed their full test of the next filming location and officially informed the guests that shooting would resume.
This stop would take all eight guests to a deserted island.
It would be freezing.
The temperature would plummet day and night until every breath turned into frost. Once night fell, icy winds would howl across the island, and the guests would have to do everything they could to obtain items that could keep them warm.
It would also be pitch-black.
Without earning a camping lantern before nightfall, they wouldn’t even be able to see their own hands.
The crashing waves against the reefs sounded like the mournful wails of wandering ghosts.
Even survival itself would be a challenge.
Every meal would have to be cooked from scratch, and race rewards would no longer be Speed Tokens—they would be ingredients instead.
Watching the team finish simulating every stage of the island, the director’s eyes sparkled.
—I can’t wait…
—What kind of surprise is Shen Wanwan going to bring us this time?
Meanwhile, completely unaware of the production team’s plans, the guests calmly prepared to set off from home.
Now that Shen Wanwan and Shao Yuye had been revealed as real siblings, there was no way the show would miss the opportunity to capitalize on the buzz.
In previous seasons, the livestream always began after the guests had already arrived on location.
This time, however, filming would begin from the moment they departed.
The production team had even instructed everyone not to pack in advance so they could capture footage of the packing process.
[WAAAAAAH! It’s finally here!!!]
[Brother Ye and Wanwan are living together now! Yay!]
Between Shao Yuye’s and Shen Wanwan’s luggage, there were over twenty suitcases.
They were all piled together, making it impossible to tell whose was whose.
Though everyone knew the answer.
Most of them had to belong to Shen Wanwan.
Staff member Xiao Jin stared in stunned silence.
They had expected Shen Wanwan to bring a lot of luggage.
Just…
Not this much.
He asked in disbelief, “Brother Ye… you’re bringing this many suitcases?”
“Of course.”
As Shao Yuye directed his assistants to carry them downstairs, he replied matter-of-factly,
“We’re going to an island this time. It doesn’t matter if I suffer—but what if my little sister has to?”
[Did you see that smug little expression on Brother Ye’s face? I’m dying. He finally gets to show his siscon nature openly!]
[Hahaha, exactly! What if our Wanwan has to suffer? By the way, where is Wanwan?]
Almost as soon as that comment appeared, Shen Wanwan walked out of her room.
She was wearing an off-white sweater, which softened the cold, distant aura she usually gave off.
A chilly breeze swept in through the open doorway, gently lifting her thin bangs.
She raised her eyes ever so slightly toward the camera.
Those calm, clear eyes instantly sent the livestream chat into a frenzy.
[AAAAAH! Wanwan is so beautiful, my daughter!!]
[I’m so jealous of Brother Ye. Living with Wanwan must be absolute heaven!]
[LOL, just look at Brother Ye’s priceless expression, you can tell he’s enjoying every second of it!]
“Well?” she asked.
Shao Yuye proudly showed Shen Wanwan the results of all his preparations.
The livestream comments were dying of laughter.
[Hahaha! Why does Brother Ye give off this vibe of… “Look, little sister, this is the empire your Brother has built for you!”]
[More than twenty suitcases is seriously over the top!]
“You don’t need to bring that much.”
This stop was on a deserted island, and it was obvious that the production team wanted to create survival-themed entertainment.
Shen Wanwan expected the directors to place restrictions on what they could bring.
[Hahaha! Brother Ye has gone so overboard that even Wanwan can’t take it anymore?]
[I’m dying. Wanwan: Are you going on vacation or filming a variety show?]
[But this is a deserted island! Better be cautious and bring everything! It’s practically wilderness survival!]
Shao Yuye insisted.
“It’s better to be overprepared than caught off guard.”
Since he was so determined, Shen Wanwan didn’t press the issue.
Meanwhile, in Qi Luozhou’s livestream, everyone was also watching him pack.
He had very few belongings.
Aside from a few essential changes of clothes, he packed nothing else.
One suitcase was enough, simple and neat.
[Hmm… I just came over from Brother Ye and Wanwan’s stream. Suddenly God Zhou’s luggage feels so… minimal.]
[Seriously. They have over twenty suitcases over there, and God Zhou only has one.]
[Zhou Shen, pack a little more! It’s a deserted island! You’ll be there for a full five days! Five whole days!!]
Unfortunately, the comments were far too distant for Qi Luozhou to hear.
He quietly zipped up his suitcase, stood it upright, extended the handle, and said,
“Let’s go.”
The cameraman dutifully followed him out.
[Wait… Sisters, am I seeing things? Did that quick camera sweep just catch a pair of women’s slippers?]
[Whoa? I think I saw them too…]
[They even looked pretty cute…]
[Help! Could God Zhou actually be seeing someone? Remember that time he went out late at night just to buy desserts?]
[They could also belong to his mom. Anyway, let’s not make wild guesses until God Zhou says something himself.]
[Actually, I noticed it back in the living room too. There was this adorable strawberry mug on the coffee table. That definitely doesn’t look like something God Zhou would use.]
As one of the country’s biggest stars, every little thing Qi Luozhou did was watched closely.
Entertainment gossip accounts immediately caught the scent and flooded Weibo with posts.
[Something’s going on?! A strawberry mug and women’s slippers spotted in Qi Luozhou’s home—suspected romance!!]
The ‘Xiao Chuan’s hated clickbait gossip accounts the most and didn’t even bother giving them any attention.
At the same time, #Mystery Guest of <Extreme Challenge># shot to the top of the trending searches.
Starting from this episode, Su Tingxuan had withdrawn from the show.
A brand-new guest would take his place.
Everyone else was livestreaming, but only the mysterious guest’s footage had been pre-recorded.
That was because the production team intended to blur his face and digitally alter his voice.
The audience immediately became excited.
[Wow! Su Tingxuan is finally gone!]
[So who is the new guest?!]
[Come on, Director! Hurry up already!]
From the video, viewers could only tell that the guest was a young man who didn’t look very old.
They learned nothing else.
The mysterious guest then waved an adorable cartoon gift box in his hand.
“This is a gift I’ve prepared for the partner I’ll be teaming up with.”
[He looks pretty young!]
[He’s so cute! Totally an energetic little brother type!]
[Hurry up! I can’t wait to watch everyone in <Extreme Challenge>!]
After a three-hour journey, Shao Yuye and Shen Wanwan finally arrived at the deserted island designated by the production team.
At that point, only Su Tingxuan’s replacement and Qi Luozhou had yet to arrive.
Zhang Yiran asked, “Where are God Zhou and Su Tingxuan?”
The director replied, “The boat carrying him and the new guest ran into a small problem, so they’re still on the way. Please be patient a little longer.”
“The new guest?”
The director nodded, “Yes. Su Tingxuan withdrew from the competition, so we’ve found someone new to replace him.”
The moment those words were spoken, Bai Ling’s expression visibly darkened.
Something this important…
Su Tingxuan hadn’t even told her.
