Wen Feiran Had a Touch of the Mystical About Him!

"..."

Was this variety show cursed? There were six guests in total, and three had already fallen from grace. Before, it had only been moral failings, but now they had crossed the line straight into breaking the law!

This was getting more and more criminal!!

But before they could start cursing, they saw the next trending topic: #Zou Yuxing Praised on the News#

? Hurting wild animals got you praised these days?!

After clicking on it and watching the relevant clips, everyone was torn between laughter and tears.

[You can't really blame Zou Yuxing for not knowing. I didn't know there was an endangered animal like that either.]

[Good thing Wen Feiran was there too. If he hadn't educated them, Zou Yuxing really would have spent the rest of his life in prison.]

[Wen Feiran's range of knowledge is pretty impressive. He got every obscure trivia question right before, too.]

[Boohoo, thank you, Feiran. You're our Star's savior. If anyone dares to insult you again, we'll team up and destroy them!]

[I finally caught up on all the clips. They had it so rough, but it was so funny, hahaha!]

[The funniest part was how the group was completely immobilized for three whole hours. They didn't even dare make too much noise walking, so they could only crawl around on the ground. Their mental state was absolutely beautiful.]

[They didn't dare feed the sweet potatoes to the chickens because they were afraid the chickens would be scared to death... You could tell they were really being careful and didn't want to get scammed.]

[Have you seen the clip of them on the news? Zou Yuxing and Su Shangting fans mustn't miss it. There's a surprise, doge.jpg]

Zou Yuxing and Su Shangting's fans immediately followed the trail and found the news report.

Both men were popular young idols with large fanbases, but this was their first time on an official news broadcast. It was a major achievement; other fandoms could have made big-character posters about it and bragged for ages.

But as soon as they clicked on the video, they fell silent.

In the video, the three had little faces frozen deathly pale, messy hair, blank expressions, and eyes full of clear, innocent stupidity.

Their outfits were also quite distinctive. Underneath, they wore bulky, vividly colored coral fleece pajamas printed with cartoon animals, with military coats draped over them. They looked just like green trash cans wrapped in trash bags of every color.

The three huddled together, shoulders pressed tight, like homeless men who had been thoroughly battered by life. Apart from their faces, which didn't fit at all, everything about them perfectly suited the image.

"..."

Teacher, why was our Zihan dressed so badly?

They suddenly wanted to quit the fandom for a second.

Chapter 13: Wen Feiran Had a Touch of the Mystical About Him!

Zou Yuxing was always sunny and cheerful, and no bad thing could linger in his heart for even a second. But after returning from the mountain, he looked like a seedling that had been trampled, listless and out of energy.

"What am I going to do? There's a stain on my life now!" Zou Yuxing let out a long sigh.

Su Shangting gloated. "It's not that simple. Eating endangered animals is a crime. You're a lawbreaking celebrity now; you might even get banned!"

Zou Yuxing sat bolt upright and craned his neck as he argued, "I only intended to do it. I didn't actually take action. Besides, I didn't recognize it as a protected animal at the time. I'm innocent too!"

"Does not recognizing it mean it wasn't a crime? At most, you didn't knowingly break the law." Su Shangting scoffed.

Zou Yuxing opened his mouth and closed it again. After repeating this several times, he drew in his neck. "Anyway, judging by the final result, not only did I not break the law, I even got praised. It was my first time on the news!"

The more Zou Yuxing spoke, the more confident and proud he became, but Su Shangting's expression darkened.

Su Shangting had the temperament of a young master and had cared deeply about his appearance since childhood, insisting that it suit his status. Yet on his first appearance on the news, he had been dressed like a green trash can, the kind that was just as wide at the top as at the bottom. To him, it was the most embarrassing episode in his history, and what made it even harder to bear was hearing it come out of Zou Yuxing's mouth!

Su Shangting's shoulders began to tremble uncontrollably. Zou Yuxing didn't catch on at first, but after a few seconds of staring, he raised his eyebrows high. "This is a good thing! One of these days, I'll print out pictures of us on the news and make little flyers to hand out on the street, or put them on T-shirts!"

The more he talked, the more excited he became. "That's what I'll do. I'll bring five or six next episode and wear a different one every day."

Zou Yuxing wished he had one on hand so he could pull it on right away. His obnoxious manner made Su Shangting's fists itch. Su Shangting hesitated no longer and launched himself at Zou Yuxing without a moment's delay, and the two of them began wrestling.

Mu Qianyu let out an amused laugh and watched them rather helplessly. In her eyes, the two of them weren't even three years old combined.

"All right, Yuxing was only joking. Shangting, don't be angry." Mu Qianyu steered the topic toward herself. "By that measure, I suppose I have a stain on my life too."

At that, Su Shangting and Zou Yuxing immediately sat up straight as elementary school students.

"Sister Mu, don't think that! Your divorce only means you threw away the stain on your life. It's a wonderful thing!"

"Scars are a man's medals, and this is your medal too, Sister Qianyu. Your bad luck ends here. The rest of your life will be smooth sailing and full of glory!"

"Thank you, both of you." Mu Qianyu wasn't hurt by this, nor did her eyes dim. The fact that she could turn the matter onto herself and speak of it jokingly showed that she had completely moved on.

Besides the three of them, there were two other men whose scandals had ruined their reputations, leaving them unable to continue filming the show. All told, Wen Feiran was the only one who hadn't been affected in the slightest.

The three didn't say it aloud, but they all thought of this at the same time and looked around for Wen Feiran.

Wen Feiran had just come out of his room. He walked close to the wall out of habit, trying to make himself less noticeable, but suddenly everyone turned to look at him in unison.

???

He touched his face and asked in confusion, "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"

Zou Yuxing shook his head meaningfully. "I keep feeling like there's some subtle force about you."

Su Shangting retorted out of habit, "Don't make such a big deal of it. It's just a coincidence."

The question marks over Wen Feiran's head grew even bigger. Not expecting an answer from these two elementary schoolers, he turned to Su Qianyu. "Sister Mu, what are you talking about?"
