This chapter is brought to you by ^_^, thanks for the ko-fi! (ﾉ´ヮ`)ﾉ*: ･
Although the voice from the recorder wasn’t loud, it could be heard throughout the entire venue.
Everyone looked at Shao Yuye with shaken expressions.
At that moment, they fully understood one thing…
Never casually provoke a man who has a younger sister—and is an extreme siscon.
Otherwise, before he starts crying, he’ll do everything he can to make you cry first.
Jiang Yuan burst out laughing.
Although he and Qi Luozhou were also close friends, at this moment, while silently worrying for his friend, he couldn’t help but laugh in schadenfreude.
Hahaha!
This was retribution for secretly hoping that Jiang Yuan wouldn’t end up teaming up with Wanwan before.
Retribution!
Retribution indeed!
Jiang Yuan didn’t even feel like clearing the challenge anymore.
He asked the production crew beside him, “Can I watch their livestream too? I’ll even pay for it.”
The footage was surely going to be spectacular.
Jin Xiaoyu hurriedly added, “I want to watch too! Me too!”
Production crew: “……”
This was the first time guests had ever requested to watch another group’s livestream.
To discourage Jiang Yuan, the accompanying director held up five fingers.
“Fifty Speed Coins for five minutes.”
In the previous episode, Jiang Yuan and Zhang Yiran had taken care of everyone’s meals. As one of the only two men who had actually earned money last time, he wasn’t worried at all!
It was the final episode, after all, why not splurge a little?!
“Deal!”
Director: “……”
A miscalculation!
Should’ve said one hundred!
Jin Xiaoyu stood anxiously on the platform.
“M-me too! I want to watch!”
[Hahaha! You two should just rename yourselves the Gossip Duo!]
[Jiang Yuan & Jin Xiaoyu: What did we do wrong? We just want to enjoy the drama!]
[I’m saying, you two, aren’t you going to develop a CP line? When Xiaoyu jumped down from the platform just now, Jiang Yuan instinctively reached out to help her, and I totally shipped it!]
[Me too! Jiang Yuan, make your comeback! Stop being the unlucky guy and win that three-day Yun Island trip together!]
After Jin Xiaoyu came down from the platform, the director officially opened the livestream for Qi Luozhou and Shen Wanwan’s group and started the timer.
The cameraman over there clearly knew what he was doing, zooming in for a close-up directly on Qi Luozhou’s expressionless face.
Jin Xiaoyu leaned forward. “Is God Zhou angry?”
“No. At most, he’s a little speechless.”
Jiang Yuan shook his head and explained: “I’ve known him for so many years and have never seen him get angry. Zhou is very broad-minded. Things like this can’t affect his emotions.”
[Damn, who’s shipping this old partner friendship now? I won’t say it!]
[Exactly! That’s why everyone calls him God Zhou! His emotions are always so faint and calm! That’s why his sudden official announcement with Wanwan was such a shock!]
[Maybe it’s like me—I never chased celebrities before, but suddenly became obsessed with Wanwan. She’s really addictive!]
Just as Jin Xiaoyu was about to ask, “Then what can affect his emotions?”, Shen Wanwan took out a prop card on the screen.
After laughing enough, she handed the card to the staff and said:
“Alright, turn off the recorder.”
Shao Yuye had only just managed to be arrogant for three sentences before his warning was mercilessly cut off.
[Whoa! A nullification prop card! It lasts 24 hours!]
[Who says we should envy God Zhou for doting on Wanwan? Actually, Wanwan dotes on God Zhou even more!]
[Hahaha, Wanwan, are you serious? Someone’s jealousy jar is about to overturn again!]
[This damned mutual devotion! Brother Ye: Then should I just leave?]
Qi Luozhou had only been a little speechless at first.
Probably because both siblings had an ability to make people unable to predict them, always pulling off such unexpected moves.
But when Shen Wanwan casually used that card to cut off her Brother’s voice—
He stood there and turned back to look at her.
The smile at the corner of his lips deepened, making him appear especially gentle and pleasing to the eye.
Seeing this scene, even a fool could tell:
The person who could stir Qi Luozhou’s emotions was Wanwan.
Only her.
Her alone.
Jin Xiaoyu couldn’t help getting excited again:
“Damn, this is way too sweet! ‘WanZhou,’ hurry up and get married!”
Clearly, they were both people who kept their emotions restrained, yet their actions were straightforward and passionate.
He would never criticize anything her Brother did;
She would never let him fall into an awkward situation.
[Hahaha! Jin Xiaoyu is still perfectly serving as the audience’s spokesperson today!]
[Really, really—‘WanZhou,’ get married already! Can you livestream the wedding too? I want to witness their love!]
While enjoying all the sweetness, Jin Xiaoyu suddenly realized…
In this mutual affection, Brother Ye seemed rather unnecessary.
“Ah, but Brother Ye like this seems…”
Halfway through her sentence, Jin Xiaoyu quickly covered her mouth. The show had huge traffic now, and all kinds of opinions existed—good and bad. Any random remark could easily be twisted by haters, and her company had always required her to be careful with her words on the show.
Jiang Yuan understood what she meant.
What Shao Yuye was doing could easily attract criticism.
Among the scrolling comments, some people had already started complaining that Shao Yuye was annoying, constantly interfering and getting in the way.
Jiang Yuan let out a soft snort.
“Even his own little sister doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with it, so why do you still think there’s a problem?”
Although this was directed at Jin Xiaoyu, it was actually meant for the people in the livestream chat who were unhappy with Shao Yuye’s behavior.
Jiang Yuan was famously a tactful, easygoing nice guy who always made it a point not to offend anyone.
Yet this time, he firmly stood up for Shao Yuye.
Jin Xiaoyu also cooperated enthusiastically, chuckling twice and chiming in:
“Exactly, exactly!
“And besides, it’s pretty fun.”
Jiang Yuan looked at the two exceptionally good-looking people on the screen and smiled.
It had to be said that neither Shen Wanwan nor Qi Luozhou had particularly down-to-earth personalities.
But most people hadn’t noticed that it was precisely because Shao Yuye was there that the natural sense of distance surrounding the two of them was greatly diminished.
At the other end of the venue.
Shao Yuye had originally been enjoying the sound of his own broadcaster-like voice, feeling as though his very soul had been elevated.
But that voice only lasted for a few seconds before abruptly stopping. He waited for a while, but when no further sound came from the other side, he turned his head and asked the staff member, Xiao Jin:
“Why isn’t there any response over there?”
“Did the voice recorder break?”
“Uh…”
Xiao Jin awkwardly touched the side of his hair and cautiously said, “Shen Wanwan used a nullification prop card.”
And its effect would last for 24 hours.
Of course, Xiao Jin didn’t have the heart to tell him that last part.
Shao Yuye froze for a moment.
“…Who?”
If the subject of that sentence had been Qi Luozhou, Shao Yuye would have merely snorted inwardly.
But the person who had used the card was—
“…Shen Wanwan.”
When Xiao Jin said his little sister’s name again, Shao Yuye felt as though an arrow had suddenly flown through the air and, with a *thud*, struck him directly in the chest, making him spit out three liters of blood and collapse on the spot.
He knew it.
His little sister was protective of him.
But now, Qi Luozhou had also been classified by Shen Wanwan as someone under her protection!
The expression on Shao Yuye’s face became extraordinarily complicated.
The livestream comments were full of fans who were delighted to watch the drama unfold. There was no sympathy whatsoever; everyone was busy making jokes—
[Brother Ye: My little sister really has been stolen away by a pig. Sob sob.]
[The sky is blue, and there are paper cranes outside the window…]
[Everyone is really too much! How about this: I’ll do a fortune-telling with my fingers. I’m about the same age as Wanwan, so why don’t I become Brother Ye’s little sister? I guarantee I’ll never date anyone. I’ll stick to my Brother every single day!]
[Hahahahaha, how many alcohol did you have, upstairs? You must be completely drunk!]
Zhang Song was standing at a higher vantage point, so he could see farther. At a glance, he spotted Qi Luozhou leisurely taking the card Shen Wanwan had handed him and walking toward the verification station.
He spoke up to comfort Shao Yuye:
“It’s fine. Sister must just want to win.”
And, incidentally…
She probably found it noisy, too.
Shao Yuye silently shook his head.
Actually, the reason he had been behaving just a tiny bit excessively was because he had realized that his little sister was indulging him.
She knew that he was slightly unhappy and jealous, so she let him freely vent his emotions while also preserving his dignity, never complaining or blaming him.
And this prop card was her way of telling him: That’s enough.
If he kept going, he really would be taking advantage of her indulgence and going too far.
After all, Qi Luozhou was the person she loved. How could she stand by and watch him get mocked?
Even if the person doing it was her own Brother, she wouldn’t allow it.
Fine!
He simply wouldn’t disturb them while they were dating!
Once Shao Yuye had figured this out, he was cheerful again.
He looked toward Zhang Song, who was still fiddling around with the little cards.
“You were supposed to arrange the combinations. Why are you standing there crumpling paper?
“Hurry up! Let’s go snatch first place!”
[Huh? Brother Ye’s competitive spirit is back?!!!]
[After all, his sister already used the nullification prop card, so even if he wanted to vote, he can’t anymore, right?! ]
[Hahahahaha, Song Song: (weak, innocent, pitiful) Weren’t we supposed to be jealous together? Brother Ye, how could you give up?!]
Shen Wanwan and Qi Luozhou successfully passed the first stage.
Their teamwork was extremely harmonious, and amid the audience’s anticipation filling the screen, they continued hand in hand toward the second level.
And under her silent warning, her brother finally put away his overflowing jealousy. For the rest of the day, he no longer deliberately targeted Qi Luozhou so much.
Shen Wanwan was very satisfied.
After receiving that nullification prop card in the morning, Shao Yuye had ‘cut off all romantic attachments’ and gone charging through the stages with Zhang Song. They were currently ranked first, with their progress astonishingly ten levels ahead of them.
[Brother Ye, seriously, I’m crying. He and Song Song are the only ones who are genuinely following the spirit of this show!!]
[Hahahahaha, at this speed, if you didn’t know better, you’d think there was a dog chasing them from behind!]
Shen Wanwan and Qi Luozhou, meanwhile, were in second place.
[Oh my god, they’re taking it so leisurely, and they’re still second?!]
[Don’t let Wanwan and God Zhou’s leisurely pace fool you. Their efficiency at clearing the levels is actually the highest. Everyone spent the longest on the first level—Brother Ye and Song Song were both stuck there for more than an hour, but Wanwan and God Zhou only took 20 minutes. ]
