Chapter 429: Chapter 429: Guest Becomes Regular

"Youyou!"

As Su Jinxiao got out of the car, he saw Chi Youyou had already arrived at the rest area on set and jogged over, ignoring the strange looks from the staff around them.

He hadn’t attended the party last night but had heard about the events there afterward.

"Is what happened at the party true?"

He almost shouted, "You’re Jinshu’s cousin?"

Luckily, he caught himself in time, making a quick stop and asking in a different way.

"Mm."

Chi Youyou nodded.

"Then... does he know it’s really you?"

Chi Youyou: ...

That was quite a clever question.

She shook her head, "He probably doesn’t know yet. Teacher Su, you have to keep my secret~"

Chi Youyou was about to call him by name, but when she saw Ye Jia behind him, she changed the way she addressed him.

"Teacher Su, Teacher Youzi."

"Teacher Ye Jia."

The three greeted each other politely. Ye Jia wasn’t familiar with them, and considering his own standing wasn’t high, even though he overheard their conversation, he dared not ask more. He just gave Chi Youyou and Su Jinxiao a meaningful look.

"At last, it’s all clear about what happened last time. Who would have guessed Ran Yu was that kind of person?"

Su Jinxiao started chatting to ease the awkwardness, "I just saw the show’s latest announcement. Fang Yifei should be taking Ran Yu’s place and becoming a regular guest."

He directed this last sentence at Ye Jia.

"Hey, everyone~"

Speak of the devil, as soon as they mentioned Fang Yifei, she and Nan Zhi were already walking toward them.

Ye Jia, Ran Yu, and Bai Yan used to be a couple. Now, because of Ran Yu’s personal issues, she was removed from the show, leaving an empty spot. Fang Yifei had previously appeared in two episodes, so the production team simply invited her to stay on as a regular.

Once the official news was released, the comments section exploded.

[Just as I guessed, my Feifei went from guest to regular.]

[Let’s hope nothing else happens, can we just record the show peacefully?]

[Ran Yu brought it upon herself. She’ll never redeem herself in this lifetime!]

[Sweetheart, that depends on whether she can even get out of jail. Didn’t the police announce something last time?]

[Let’s not talk about it, it’s such a buzzkill!]

[Everyone in the production team, hold steady!!]

[But now that Feifei filled the vacant spot, doesn’t that mean she has to compete with her own cousin?]

[Haha, the production team really knows how to play it~]

...

"Cousin, now we’re rivals, and I won’t hold back!"

Just a few minutes before the recording started, everyone was present.

When it officially began, Fang Yifei just happened to challenge Nan Zhi, sparking a flurry of activity in the comments section.

[Rushed here from Weibo!]

[Yay, now I can see our princess every week~]

[So happy, what do we call this? A blessing in disguise?]

[Hahaha, Nan Zhi Goddess: About the guest I invited becoming a rival!]

[I’m praying no one else on this show causes issues! Finally found a show I love to watch!]

[Exactly, I feel the same way!]

[But now I’ve really started to become a fan of Youzi, especially after what happened. ]

[I’m still staying neutral. There’s too much drama in the industry. Who knows what’s real!]

[Didn’t someone say Youzi went to a specialty school, while others said it was Imperial City University? That’s a huge gap!]

[Exactly, who knows what’s true about her, but I know our Feifei is truly a top student, from Imperial City University, and she topped the humanities exams in Imperial City and was fourth nationwide!]

[A true academic meets a fake academic~]

[Let’s not bring negativity here, we’re just watching a variety show, not interested in extra drama!]

...

"Feifei, don’t worry, I won’t hold back either!"

Nan Zhi smiled at Fang Yifei, then turned to Chi Youyou, who was trying to make herself as inconspicuous as possible, "Youzi, sorry you were startled by what happened last time. Are you alright?"

"I’m fine, thank you for your concern, Teacher Nan Zhi."

"Good to hear, we all believe it definitely wasn’t you."

Nan Zhi said this while glancing over at Jinshu. Since Cheng Shujin arrived, he hadn’t said a word, just standing beside Su Jinxiao but occasionally casting glances at Chi Youyou.

Nan Zhi caught him looking right on time, so does Jinshu know Youzi’s true identity or not?

"Jinshu was the first to issue an official statement in your defense~"

"I trust my teammates."

Cheng Shujin snapped out of it and responded coldly.

Moments ago, he had actually zoned out!

[Wow, my Director Jin is so handsome!]

[Love it, love it, I trust my teammates!]

[What do I do, I want to change my ship!]

[No way, I still think Director Jin and Su Shen are a better match, Youzi is too young, she can be their daughter!]

...

Nan Zhi wasn’t aware of what was happening in the comments section, but she nodded in agreement with what Jinshu said, and suddenly, as if remembering something, she turned to the director, "Director, you didn’t announce the results of the last challenge, right? Now that Farm No. 3 has changed people, shouldn’t last time’s results not count?"

[Our Nan Zhi Goddess is so kind. According to last time’s results, Farm No. 3 should be last, right?]

[Not necessarily, it seems like the number of people in all three farms was pretty close!]

[Didn’t Farm No. 1 pull a comeback with those old folks?]

[I think Nan Zhi did it on purpose; she might have felt Farm No. 1 won over them, so she just voided it!]

[Hey, don’t assume our Nan Zhi has such schemes. She just thought Farm No. 3 didn’t do well last time, and now Feifei’s taking over, she wants to be fair!]

[Exactly, from the name, you can tell the previous comment is from a Youzi fan. Stop with all the conspiracy!]

...

Due to Nan Zhi’s comment, the comments section in the live stream became noisy again.

"After an internal discussion, the production team decided that the last results will still count. Now I will announce the results."

The head director nodded to them, and a staff member came forward with a small card holding the competition results.

The audience was instantly on edge.

[Farm No. 2 for the win!]

[Farm No. 1 for the win!]

[Our Farm No. 3 is at a disadvantage. If only Feifei was there last time, we’d definitely win!]

[Farm No. 2 is probably first, I doubt Farm No. 1, even with those old folks, has more than Farm No. 2!]

[So nervous!]

[Feels more tense than participating in a competition myself!]

"The final result from the last competition is!"

The staff member intentionally paused for a few seconds, "What could the final result be from the last competition? Let’s take a look together!"

[Please! The staff guy is doing this on purpose!]

[Get on with it! Stop keeping us in suspense!]

[Stop making us anxious! Just announce it already!]
