After the True Heiress Travels Back-Chapter 858: The Heavens Toy with People
Chapter 858: Chapter 858: The Heavens Toy with People
The host had just finished reading out the sponsor’s advertisement when he heard the director’s voice through his earpiece.
"Change the program flow."
The host’s expression remained unchanged, but he was cursing the director internally.
The program flow had already been announced, and now suddenly changing it was just asking for trouble.
But he was just a small-time host.
No matter how much he complained internally, he had to follow the director’s orders.
"Ahem..."
The host coughed awkwardly, "Sorry everyone, I grabbed the wrong card."
He chuckled awkwardly at Quan Jinbei, "Mr. Quan, please pretend I didn’t ask that question just now."
After that, he quickly retreated to the hosting position, cleared his throat, and announced the revised program flow as directed by the director.
"Our show’s team has a new twist for this episode."
The host explained the usual program flow and then detailed how this episode was different, "Usually, the CPs (couples) are paired from the beginning, but this time, it’s a new start."
"This time, we’re pairing CPs based purely on fate!"
A guest couldn’t help but ask, "Based on fate? What if the paired CPs don’t have any chemistry?"
The host touched his nose, pretending to be profound, "True warriors can overcome any obstacle. Just because we can’t do it now doesn’t mean we never will. I believe you can do it!"
Saying that, he made a cheer gesture.
Everyone: "..."
Viewers watching the live broadcast couldn’t help but feel speechless.
"Seriously? Suddenly changing the rules, what’s the director trying to pull?"
"I’m telling you, the director is up to something. I bet a pack of spicy snacks that random CPs will definitely be a mess."
"I bet fifty cents!"
"I bet one yuan!"
"I’ll wager my family heirloom chamber pot that the director won’t let Actress Shi and Mr. Quan reunite as a couple."
"..."
By the time the betting on the live broadcast’s bullet screen ranged from a pack of spicy snacks to a family heirloom chamber pot, the host had already got the props prepared by the director.
Drawing lots props.
Live drawing lots, supposedly impossible to cheat.
The host carried the transparent glass jar, which contained ten balls.
Guests who draw the same color ball will form a CP on the spot.
"The director is really trying to stir things up!"
A guest on-site exclaimed.
The host wiped a cold sweat, "Life is always full of surprises. Sometimes, the unexpected answers are the best ones."
Saying that, he placed the glass jar and covered one side within view of the camera with a cloth, blocking the guests’ sight, and then allowed the guests to start drawing lots.
"Alright, without further ado, let’s start the draw."
The order of the draw was from left to right.
When it was Shi Yaoguang’s turn, she was fifth.
She drew a pink ball.
No one before her had drawn a pink ball.
After her, it was another singer guest’s turn.
Next was Quan Jinbei.
Quan Jinbei drew a... green ball.
For a moment, the viewers watching the live broadcast were in an uproar.
As expected!
The show’s team was definitely stirring things up.
Actress Shi drew the pink ball, but her husband drew the green ball.
Wow.
Now, in the glass jar, there were still one pink ball, one green ball, and one blue ball left.
The third-to-last guest drew the blue ball.
Thus, there was only one pink ball and one green ball left in the glass jar.
The remaining guests were Quan Feifei and a popular young star Qiao Yiyi.
Qiao Yiyi looked at the results of the previous draws and then at Quan Feifei beside him, his expression was slightly subtle.
It seemed the show’s team was indeed stirring things up.
Would it be that he would draw the pink ball and team up with Actress Shi,
and Quan Feifei would draw the green ball and team up with Quan Jinbei?
With these thoughts, Qiao Yiyi felt a bit uneasy.
Worried that Shi Yaoguang might have some opinion about him.
Thinking this, he stepped forward and said to Quan Feifei, "Ladies first. There are only two balls left; why don’t you choose first, Feifei."
Quan Feifei symbolically declined but then stepped up to the glass jar without further courtesy.
After stretching her hand into the jar, she asked the system internally, "System, which ball is green?"
The system quickly responded, "The one on the left." frёewebηovel.cѳm
"Got it."
Quan Feifei’s hand hesitated in the jar for a moment, ready to choose the left one, but then she heard the system say, "Right side."
Quan Feifei: "Huh?"
The system said, "The right side has the green ball."
"Oh." Quan Feifei didn’t think much and directly picked the ball on the right.
Then...
Her expectant expression collapsed gradually.
She couldn’t help but question the system internally, "What’s the matter, system? You said it was the right side, why did I get the pink one?"
She couldn’t believe her binding system would be such a pit!
The system didn’t know either.
Meanwhile.
Qiao Yiyi didn’t expect Quan Feifei to draw the pink ball.
He stepped forward and drew the last ball from the jar.
Sure enough, green.
There was a moment of silence on-site.
The host hadn’t expected this development either.
Stunned for a while, he then laughed to lighten the mood, "Hahaha... this CP is indeed fate!"
"Even though our Love Cabin previously paired male and female CPs, this time we happened to get the chance. Fate has decided, and forming a same-sex CP is quite exciting too, don’t you think?"
Saying this, he handed the microphone to Shi Yaoguang.
"Actress Shi, what do you think of this draw result?"
Shi Yaoguang smiled ambiguously and nodded, "Not bad."
The host then turned to Quan Feifei, "Feifei, what about you?"
Quan Feifei: "..."
Her face paled, and through clenched teeth, she said, "Very surprising."
Seeing this, the host enjoyed stirring things up, "Looking at Feifei’s expression, she doesn’t seem happy."
Quan Feifei didn’t hide it and frankly admitted, "Yes, I’m indeed not satisfied."
"Wow~" The host egged her on, "It seems Feifei still wants to team up with Mr. Quan. It’s a shame fate’s playing tricks."
Saying that, he asked Quan Jinbei, "Mr. Quan, what do you think of this result?"
Quan Jinbei’s answer echoed Shi Yaoguang’s, "Not bad."
Seeing that he had no further comments, the host looked at Qiao Yiyi, "Xiaoqiao, what do you think?"
Qiao Yiyi pursed his lips, smiled shyly, "I feel honored."
"Haha." The host chuckled awkwardly but insisted, "It seems everyone is quite satisfied with the result. So, we can confirm the CPs for this episode on the spot."
"Next, you have five minutes to think about your CP name. If you’re still undecided after the time is up, we’ll use suggestions from the live bullet screen..."
After the host finished speaking, three pairs of regular guests were already racking their brains for CP names.
Shi Yaoguang and Quan Feifei’s pair had no communication throughout.
Qiao Yiyi actively approached Quan Jinbei, "Mr. Quan, what should we name our CP?"
Quan Jinbei casually responded, "You decide."
Qiao Yiyi immediately blurted out, "How about ’Right on Q’?"
