He had been holding a megaphone the whole time, so Lu Wanqing heard him clearly this time. Only with that reminder did she notice there was little time left before boarding. With no time to deal with anything else, she could only hurry aboard with the person beside her.
She could only hope her manager would handle this properly for her and find whoever had played Ultraman to have a proper talk with her. How dare she embarrass her in front of so many people!
Once he was seated on the plane, Chi An thought the production team did have something of a conscience. First class-the treatment was pretty decent. He just wondered whether the locations they chose later would be this good too.
"Chi An, don't forget what you promised me. The livestream might start as soon as we get off the plane. Don't forget your persona."
"Persona? I have a persona?"
Chi An had only just closed his eyes, but at Chi Shuran's words, he instantly opened them again and adjusted the blanket over him. "As if accompanying you on a variety show weren't enough, now I have to keep up a persona too? Chi Shuran, don't you think you owe me something?"
Even though she had long known what kind of person Chi An was and had experienced it firsthand, she was still annoyed! Extremely annoyed!
Why had she never been able to beat that scheming little bastard Chi An, ever since they were children?!
"If Mom asks you to go on blind dates, I'll fend her off for a year!"
"A year?" Chi An asked.
Gritting her teeth, Chi Shuran held up two fingers. "Two years!"
"There should be some tourist attractions over in City A too. I could go have a look around."
"Three years!"
Why did she have a brother like this?!!!
"Then I suppose I'll reluctantly agree to your request. After all, I'm a good brother who loves his little sister."
Chi An's smile was "as refreshing as a spring breeze," but to Chi Shuran, it was a face begging to be punched. She gripped her own hands tightly, lest she lose control and swing a fist straight into his face.
Ever since they had grown up, blind dates had become her only means of keeping Chi An in check. In their household hierarchy, their mother came first, followed by their father, and then the two of them...
Fine, she, Chi Shuran, was actually the one with the least say.
She couldn't match Chi An in intelligence or capability, and physical strength wasn't even worth mentioning.
But!!! Chi An was now old enough to get married, and he hadn't had anyone by his side all these years, so naturally, their mother had started arranging blind dates for him. It was just that Chi An kept turning them down.
He could escape once or twice, but how would he keep escaping after that? If not for filming this variety show, he probably would have had to deal with another blind date.
Readjusting the blanket over his legs, he caught sight of Chi Shuran looking as though she still had something to say and quickly closed his eyes. "Being around you has made me realize something."
Chi Shuran asked, "Realize what?"
"It takes even less to wear me out now."
"Don't talk to me. Just consider me dead for now."
He really should never have agreed to help Chi Shuran. Nobody in their family had a low IQ, so why had they ended up with an oddball like her?
After Lu Wanqing boarded the plane, since she had arrived rather late, a staff member led them straight to their seats. Along the way, she failed to notice several familiar faces. She gave the staff member an awkward smile, straightened her clothes, and sat quietly in her seat, ready to sleep.
Once everyone had successfully boarded, the morning's footage was released as well. Some of the questions in it caused quite a stir, with the trending topics constantly changing.
Tang Monk Uses Rejoice Shampoo: The audience gets to choose the order the guests appear in? What does that mean?
Adorably Overweight: It probably means whoever we're curious about comes out first.
Filthy Money, Get in My Pocket: Successfully board the plane without being spotted by fans?! After all that commotion today, there's no need to guess, is there?
No Blush, Just Yawns: Exactly, Lu Wanqing was spotted the moment she appeared!
Steam It Seriously and It'll Cook: There's no suspense to guessing who's who, right? Why would they need us to guess something this easy?
Bald Heads Will Shine Eventually: Not necessarily, right? If everyone could figure it out, why would the director release it like this?
With the controversy having achieved the desired effect, the director stopped paying attention to what happened next and cheerfully prepared the tasks to come.
Whether the attention was bad or good, all he wanted was traffic. Besides, there was plenty of good stuff today.
[Aaaah! Who on earth is that old street sweeper?! Who said this would be easy to guess?!]
[Ultraman and a toad?! Am I blind? Which of the guests would do something like this?]
[Is this Ultraman a guest? Lu Wanqing wasn't even in disguise, and he just offended her without the slightest fear? Who is he?]
[As expected, our girl is the only honest one, but she looks way too much like she's sneaking around! Hahaha!]
[Who's this? Just standing there out in the open?]
[Wang Erni?! Who's that? Since when did the entertainment industry have someone by that name?]
[I was there! She's a woman who had plastic surgery to look like Chi Shuran. Her brother said she'd get dog shit thrown at her if she went out looking like Chi Shuran. He was taking her to get more surgery this time.]
[You really don't see diehard Chi Shuran fans often anymore. That woman was even shouting in the crowd that she was Chi Shuran. Does she think we're all idiots?! Haha! What celebrity would admit who they were in a crowd?]
[...What if she really is?]
[It's not impossible, but hasn't Chi Shuran always had that cool, commanding woman persona? The production team might also have deliberately edited this in for views.]
[Could be. So, have you found Chi Shuran?]
[What are the odds of a celebrity breaking character? Besides, with Chi Shuran's temper, this really doesn't seem like her.]
[Exactly. Her brother was there, and the way he talked about Chi Shuran put even haters like us to shame. He even said that if she didn't get her face changed back, she wouldn't be allowed home again. If Chi Shuran heard that, she'd definitely blow up on the spot, wouldn't she?]
[Damn! Is this a random passerby or the real person?!]
[Can't we just vote and find out?! Make Chi Shuran appear first!]
[Yes! Vote for Chi Shuran later! And that toad and Ultraman too. They dare offend people like this before the livestream has even started. I'm genuinely curious who they are.]
[Didn't the director tell us to vote using the celebrities' names? We don't even know who those two are, so how can we vote?]
[This is killing me! It's that helpless feeling of having the answer right in front of me but being unable to copy it.]
After the plane landed, the siblings got into a car arranged by the production team as soon as they left the airport. At the same time, cars were parked at various spots around the airport. The director had deliberately separated them to preserve the mystery. Even the guests' seats on the plane had been specially arranged by him to keep them from learning one another's identities.
So, up to this point, apart from the guests within each pair, no one knew what identity their fellow participants were playing. Of course, that excluded Lu Wanqing and her companion.
