Huo Xi, are you on the wrong show? (1)
Behind the courtyard gate was a small stone path, with neglected plants and flowers on both sides. Sheng Qiao opened the door with her luggage and entered the spacious living room. Someone was sitting on the couch, drinking water.
Noticing Sheng Qiao, her delicate face briefly changed but after remembering it was a live broadcast, she quickly resumed her original expression and smiled at her as she stood up: “So you are the second guest.”
The show had already begun.
The ratings were currently pretty good. After all, everyone wanted to know if their idols were among the guests. When the audience, who had been guessing who the second guest was, saw Sheng Qiao walking in, they immediately started to comment:
[I thought Xingyao Media was going to hide her before the termination!]
[Impossible, they need to get the most money out of it before that.]
[Suddenly, I kind of feel a little bad for Sheng Qiao.]
[You feel sorry for Sheng Qiao? Seriously? Shouldn’t you feel sorry for the other guests instead?]
[Just thinking of everything about her, I don’t want my idol to participate anymore.]
[Do you remember her first appearance?]
[I remember! She was so rude, uncultivated and lazy! And hypocritical! She thought the whole world revolved around her!]
[I think it’s better for her not to participate. I kind of turned into a little fan these past few days and now I am worried.]
[I have nothing to say, she’s just terrible.]
[She’s miserable and I pity her but I can’t like her.]
[Finally a reasonable person! I thought the whole network became her fan lately!]
[Impossible, impossible for a whole lifetime!]
[Just looking at her actions lately, it’s obvious she is going to use her termination with Xingyao Media to whitewash and re-brand her image. Many people must be on it.]
[Her personality is set in stone, she can’t change it. But I still hope she terminates her contract smoothly and quits the entertainment so everybody can be happy.]
Sheng Qiao’s few fans could not stay still:
[Qiaoqiao just walked in and did not do anything yet but everybody is already attacking her.]
[Just watch and stay quiet, Qiaoqiao is so pretty.]
[If you don’t know someone, it is best to not make a rash judgment otherwise you will be slapped in the face.]
…
Sheng Qiao had no idea the broadcast barrage was already making so much noise.
She knew who the smiling girl was. Her name was Le Xiao and she had acted in several idol dramas. She had the image of a sweet little princess and was known as the first love of the nation.
Sheng Qiao smiled back: “Hello, this is our first time meeting.”
She changed into her slippers and put her luggage in the corner. Le Xiao was already pouring her a glass of water and told her: “It’s freezing outside. Here, drink some hot water. Fortunately, there is heating here, I was worried before I came because I am most afraid of the cold.”
She was laughing while talking and a small and lovely dimple on her cheek could be seen. Occasionally, she would still look at Sheng Qiao with curiosity.
Sheng Qiao did not really care about it and chatted with Le Xiao politely until movement at the door was heard. The two girls got up at the same time and a slender teenager walked in carrying a huge suitcase.
Lu Yihan, who had debuted as a child star, was only fifteen years old. He had just entered his first year of high school and his family wanted him to focus on his studies; he could only take one drama a year and because of this small exposure and his average appearance, his fame was relatively low.
However, he was quite popular among passersby and everyone liked him very much.
[Here comes the younger brother!]
[Sheng Qiao, do not put your evil clutches on the younger brother!]
[He is only 15, let him go.]
[He came to the show with his winter homework again, I wonder if anyone will tutor him in math this time. This auntie’s heart is breaking.]
[I feel that the program asked for Sheng Qiao with no consideration for the other guests.]
[Sheng Qiao is almost getting misunderstood because of the termination.]
[She’s so fake, she can still rub Huo Xi’s heat.]
[The program team will definitely not miss out on mentioning Huo Xi during the show.]
[Huo Xi’s fans are here, already crying and begging the director to leave Huo Xi alone.]
[I was looking for this show but i can’t believe they invited Sheng Qiao.]
[Head to the door and leave!]
The barrage was full of excitement and there was noise outside of the house again. Sheng Qiao listened to it and turned to look. A tall girl was standing in front of the door. She was wearing a dark leather jacket and her lipstick was dark and cool.
Sheng Qiao did not know who the girl was but with her height that was nearly 1.8 meter, she guessed she was a model. She then heard a familiar voice: “Oh, I’m so cold! Go in, go in, don’t stand at the door!”
As soon as he walked in, his eyes lit up when he saw Sheng Qiao. Before he could even change his shoes, he threw his luggage and hurried toward her: “Qiao Qiao! My Qiao Qiao, I missed you!”
Sheng Qiao pushed Zhong Shen away with a look of disgust and pointed to the door: “Go change your shoes first.”
Zhong Shen had not expected he would participate in the same variety show as her. He was so happy that he turned to put on his slippers and rushed back to her.
Netizens did not understand Zhong Shen’s character. Because he was so handsome, they had thought he was an evil doer but he actually was just a big baby.
The tall girl had changed her shoes and greeted everyone after walking in: “I am Feng Wei, Wei from weixiao.”
Le Xiao was quick to answer: “I am Le Xiao, Xiao from weixiao. We will be the Weixiao sisters from now on!”1
Feng Wei smiled at her but was obviously not very interested which made Le Xiao a bit embarrassed.
Everyone was looking at each other in silence. Le Xiao with her outgoing personality took the lead and suggested: “Should we look around first?”
Lu Yihan said: “We are still missing one person, shouldn’t we wait?”
Zhong Shen: “First come, first serve! Let’s go look at the rooms.” He turned to Sheng Qiao: “Qiao Qiao, I want to live with you!”
Sheng Qiao: “Just walk.”
The group had just reached the stairs when there was movement at the door once more. Everyone turned around to look at a young man in a black baseball cap walking in with his luggage. When he looked up, he took off his hat and mask and Sheng Qiao heard everyone around her take a deep breath.
Someone said: “Oh my God, it’s Huo Xi!”
Sheng Qiao felt her legs go weak and almost knelt down.
- They are talking about the characters in their names (Wei 微笑 Xiao, which means “(to) smile” together)
