Amid everyone's eager anticipation, a black minivan pulled up outside the villa. Countless cameras immediately swung toward its door, ready to capture the first guests' grand entrance.
But when the door opened, all they saw was a suit of inflatable armor blocking the doorway, with not a person in sight.
"Are we here?"
A voice came from inside the car. It was Xie Mi's.
"We're here?! The door's already open?! Holy crap, I seriously can't see a thing!!"
"Hang on, let me try squeezing out!"

The cameraman froze for a moment before snapping out of it and shouting.

"What? Old Shen's about to fall into the river?!" Alarmed by what she heard from inside the car, Xie Mi cried, "Hang on, Old Shen! I'm coming to save you! Maomao, kick me out, quick!!"
"Coming, Sister Xie-!!"
The scene instantly descended into chaos. The crew rushed after Shen Yeqing as he rolled farther and farther away, while Diao Mao ran from the driver's seat to the other side of the back seat and kicked Xie Mi's inflatable armor with all his might.
One kick, two kicks, three kicks!!
Bang!!!
With a tremendous crash, Xie Mi shot out of the car. A tear ripped through her inflatable armor, and all the air escaped.
Xie Mi instantly went from a hulking giant to a miniature figure,
