Zou Yuxing looked bewildered, thinking he must be hallucinating, and slapped himself without hesitation.
A crisp sound echoed in the spacious room.
Wen Feiran, no longer tense, turned her head blankly and met Zou Yuxing's gaze.
The two looked at each other, their expressions different, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
The evil spirit, however, didn't care at all and casually shoved a handful of Zou Yuxing's hand. "Let me tell you, I just had a really interesting juicy story—it turns out to be a fake young master..."
It's rare to see someone so carefree as to disregard the occasion and their status. Zou Yuxing and the staff member playing the evil spirit hit it off immediately, becoming longtime friends in just a few words. The two heads were close together, and Wen Feiran was pushed to the side, becoming the superfluous person.
He looked blankly at the sky and the ground, completely confused. He rested his chin on his hand, staring ahead listlessly, and even yawned.
The viewers in the live stream were practically dying of laughter.
[Director: Please, please, don't mess with me!]
[The director is probably laughing himself silly right now; this sudden appearance of a variety show genius is just too effective, impossible to replicate.]
[This staff member deserves a bonus! I'm requesting he be allowed to stay permanently. I've been laughing so hard I can't stand up straight ever since he started passionately eating melon seeds with Wen Feiran.]
[What kind of amazing development is this? Haha, I'm dying of laughter!]
[Two huskies together are definitely a disaster, lol emoji]
The director couldn't appear in the camera's view, as it would ruin the worldview and atmosphere they had painstakingly created. To remind the three of them, they could only manipulate the walls on both sides. Centered on Wen Feiran and the others, the doors on all sides seemed to be having a seizure, moving wildly left and right.
Zou Yuxing looked up and said cheerfully, "It's pretty good. I was feeling hot, so this is no different from a fan."
The staff perfectly understood his point. "I also think it's fantastic, I suggest mass production."
The two exchanged a glance and burst into laughter, leaving Wen Feiran bewildered and speechless.
He's been tricked by the production team more than once, and it's a matter of differing opinions, but this time he genuinely feels sorry for the director.
"This part isn't over yet," Wen Feiran hinted frantically.
"That makes sense." The staff member finally remembered their business and said, "Let's talk as we walk."
The others, exhausted from running, finally returned to the starting point under the director's guidance.
Only three people remained. Su Shangting was exhausted, but he was still anxiously pacing around, "Why hasn't Feiran come back yet? Could something have happened to him?"
Just as Song Lindi was about to make a sarcastic remark, she saw Gu Suian stride forward with a serious expression. "Weren't you with him? Why did you break up again?"
Su Shangting frowned. "I don't know either. The floor suddenly sank, and I didn't react in time. I only called out to Feiran, but I don't know if he heard me."
"And then, did you never see him again?" Gu Suian continued to ask.
"No." Su Shangting's face turned pale, as if he had thought of something. "When I was searching, I thought I heard Feiran's voice through the wall, but when I got closer, his voice disappeared, and only the sound of bells getting closer and closer remained."
"Wen Feiran might be being pursued!" Su Shangting forgot all about being arrogant and bluntly spoke his mind, "If anything happens to Feiran, it's all my fault. I'm not playing anymore, I'm going to be with him!"
Gu Suian did not echo such childish words, but stared intently ahead and strode forward.
Seeing this Song Lindi forcefully tried to stop him, saying, "Feiran is so smart, he'll definitely be fine. He might be back soon."
"He is very smart," Gu Suian did not deny Song Lindi's words, but then added, "That has nothing to do with me going to find him."
Song Lindi's smile froze on her face. She wanted to say something more, but she caught a fleeting emotion in Gu Suian's eyes and was so surprised that her mind went blank.
Using his grandfather's and Gu Suian's identities, he kept trying to get close to Gu Suian and make his presence known, but Gu Suian never showed a trace of genuine concern.
He wasn't discouraged, believing that Gu Suian was just like that—uninterested in anyone. His gentleness and politeness were simply qualities ingrained in his bones, but Gu Suian had just shattered that impression completely.
And all of this is because of Wen Feiran.
Gu Suian walked past him, Song Lindi stared blankly at his back, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
Just then, the sound of casual conversation broke the almost frozen atmosphere.
Three figures appeared before them, with the staff member playing the demon standing in the middle.
Ignoring everything else, Su Shangting rushed forward, grabbed Wen Feiran's hand, and shielded him behind him. "Have you been arrested? Don't be afraid, I can save you!"
Wen Feiran tugged at his sleeve, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace. "Actually, no."
Su Shangting:???
Knowing their task was complete, the staff member reluctantly said goodbye to Zou Yuxing before turning to leave.
Zou Yuxing was still immersed in the joy of meeting a kindred spirit when he felt a tap on the head.
He cried out in pain, glaring at Su Shangting with barely suppressed rage, "Why do you always resort to violence? Don't think I can't beat you!"
"What's going on? What's your relationship with him? You haven't been possessed, have you?!" Su Shangting looked at him with suspicion.
"No," Zou Yuxing shrugged. "I just felt an instant connection with him."
Looking into Zou Yuxing's clear, naive eyes, Su Shangting finally believed him.
