This girl was freaking awesome

After running over, he stared straight at Su Tangtang, waiting to hear what she would dig up.

[Wow~] Sure enough, Su Tangtang spoke up.

The other three guests and Qiao Yufan: Wow~

An Ruzhi: "..."

Her face flushed as though something had occurred to her. Her fair ears and cheeks turned pink, and her eyes darted around before she shyly covered her face and ran back to her room.

But Su Tangtang's voice still followed her: [This girl was freaking awesome. Tsk, tsk, tsk~]

The other three guests and Qiao Yufan: This girl was freaking awesome. Tsk, tsk, tsk~

Wait, what made her awesome? Hurry up and tell us!!!

Even Liao Xuliang and Xue Ruyin, who had refused to look at her earlier, stole a glance at her.

[She actually... she actually...]

She actually what?!!

Just spit it out already!!!

[She actually hired ten male models at once to play Fight the Landlord with her in her room! Hahahahahahaha!]

The other three guests and Qiao Yufan: Wow!

Who knew you were this kind of girl, An Ruzhi!

Perhaps Su Tangtang's laughter was simply too infectious, because all four of them struggled not to laugh.

Luckily, An Ruzhi had already fled to her room, so they dared to be this obvious about it.

Even so, despite being so far away, An Ruzhi could still faintly hear Su Tangtang's voice: [Her best friend called her a prude, so she wanted to try something wild. But she was too timid. A male model was already leaning right up close to her, and she asked, "I've got four kings. Can any of you beat that?" Hahahahahahaha!]

[Even funnier, those ten male models ended up fighting over who got to play Fight the Landlord with her!]

[The fight wasn't the problem. They originally came to make money, but ended up losing even their underwear. They thought they could pleasure her and get their money back, but when she saw them starting to strip, she got so scared she scooped up the money and ran! Hahahahahahaha!]

[This girl was worth befriending. When there was money to grab, she really grabbed it!!!]

(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧ I should learn from her.

An Ruzhi: "..."

An Ruzhi, upon hearing that assessment of herself: "..."

Social death it was. Social death it was. Let it be complete and utter social death.

The other four could barely hold it in anymore, their shoulders shaking with laughter.

Liao Xuliang continued staring strangely at Su Tangtang, while Xue Ruyin glanced at her with an unreadable look in her eyes. Something seemed a little off about Su Tangtang.

If everyone had been able to hear her thoughts before, why had no one in the industry ever mentioned it?

And what exactly had she been flipping through just now? How did she know so much about everyone?

Thinking this, Xue Ruyin opened her mouth to ask her outright: Su Tangtang, do you know we can hear your thoughts?

But for some reason, the words suddenly caught in her throat. She could not even get Su Tangtang's name out.

What on earth was going on?

The livestream comments, meanwhile, acted as though they had it all figured out.

[Sure enough, you just can't go near Su Tangtang. Our Zhizhi only said hello, and she already upset her enough to send her back to her room!]

[I just don't get it. Why did the production team invite someone so obnoxious? Did they bring her here specifically to disgust us viewers?]

[Sigh. As a fan of the Lin Family, whom she dragged into manufactured drama for clout, I'm relieved to see everyone hates her so much.]

Immersed in her own world of juicy gossip, Su Tangtang had not even noticed An Ruzhi leaving. Only when she closed the book in her mind did she realize Liao Xuliang and Xue Ruyin were staring strangely at her.

[Why were those two looking at me like that?]

[Were they still hung up on what happened earlier? Seriously? How petty could they be?]

[No wonder they got together. Two rotten peas in a pod, both stinking the same!]

Rotten Pea Liao: "..."

Rotten Pea Xue: "..."

Seeing their expressions darken even further, Su Tangtang quickly looked away. She decided not to look at them again, lest they ruin her mood.

People really ought to look at pleasing faces instead, so she turned her attention to the others. Only then did she notice that the other three, including Qiao Yufan, all had shaking shoulders: [What was wrong with them?]

[Had they all taken the wrong medication?]

[Should I shake my shoulders too, so I wouldn't look like I didn't fit in?]

Watching them, she gave her shoulders a few shakes too.

[This was so fucking stupid.]

[Making money really was as hard as eating shit.]

╭(´-ι_-｀)╮

The other three guests and Qiao Yufan: "..."

Great. They could no longer laugh, and their shoulders stopped shaking.

Su Tangtang breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly feeling weak all over, as though every ounce of enthusiasm and energy had been drained out of her: [That stupid shit was finally over.]

[Why hadn't they greeted me yet?]

[Was I supposed to speak first? Fair enough. They were bigger stars than me, so I should greet them first.]

[But Sister Du just told me to be a pretty ornament and absolutely not go cozying up to them. What was I supposed to do?]

_(:* ｣∠)_

Watching this unfold on her screen, Sister Du was already seething with anger. I told you to be a pretty ornament, but not at a time like this!

Why were you still sitting there like an idiot? Were you waiting for them to greet you first?!

How could you be so shameless?!!

Then she discovered that Su Tangtang really was that shameless: the other three guests all spoke up to greet her.

Strangely, though, not one of them gave their name.

As Su Tangtang responded, she searched the original owner's memories for impressions of them.

She found two names that matched their faces.

[Chen Sinian? Was he the award-winning actor Sister Du repeatedly warned me not to approach?]

[Xiao Ziyao? Was he that hot-tempered composing genius Sister Du mentioned?]

The two men she named instantly sat bolt upright, even more nervous than when a teacher had called on them at school.

"Tangtang, I heard you live nearby?" Chen Sinian spoke before she could continue. He sat opposite her in a white shirt, his black hair swept back, looking gentle and refined. His eyes held a smile as he looked at her. The online claims that he was one of the most good-natured people in the industry apparently had some truth to them.

Su Tangtang looked toward his voice, blinked her clear black-and-white eyes, and nodded at him.

She wondered: [How did he know?]

[Whatever. Let me search for gossip about this award-winning actor first. Hehe, nobody could stop me from getting my gossip fix!]

୧((〃•̀ꇴ•〃))૭⁺✧ Charge!

Chen Sinian: "..."

He hurriedly spoke again: "Tangtang, you must be thirsty after the drive here, right? I'll get you a glass of water."

Su Tangtang: "?"

Su Tangtang, who still had the untouched glass of water Qiao Yufan had just poured sitting in front of her: "?"

[What was wrong with him?]
