Chen Hao was furious.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened them again. "... No rush, let's talk slowly."
So be it! Who doesn't know how to lay the groundwork?
He absolutely wouldn't leave until he had thoroughly discussed Chi Li's experiences over the past ten years!
Chi Li readily agreed, "Okay."
Chen Hao thought for a few seconds, then forced a smile. "With your looks, you must have been very popular with both boys and girls in school, right?"
Secret missions fall under the category of emotional topics, so this angle should allow for a smooth transition.
"No, not really." Chi Li answered the question normally, "Most high school students only have studying on their minds, and they mostly just admire people who are good-looking."
As for whether any girls confessed their feelings to him because of this... of course, some did. However, he rejected them all, citing the importance of their studies.
"Pfft..." Chen Hao suddenly laughed; he'd found something amusing. "... High school student, right? You're only 19 this year; you've never experienced university life, have you?"
An idol with a low level of education is usually ignored, but once they are put in the spotlight, they are destined to be ridiculed.
Faced with undeniable facts, what could Chi Li possibly say?
Nothing you say can change the fact that he has a low level of education!
Chen Hao's malice was practically overflowing from the screen.
Shen Xunye glared at him and said coldly, "A petty person who has gotten his way."
"You're wrong." Chi Li reached out and placed her hand on Shen Xunye's thigh, gently tapping it with her index finger as a gesture of comfort. "I experienced two months of university life."
Chen Hao stared intently at Shen Xunye, his gaze sharp as if it wanted to kill. "Why didn't you continue? Were you fired?"
"Then I'm afraid you'll be disappointed." Chi Li's expression remained unchanged. "I wasn't expelled... but rather, I'm on leave of absence. I applied for a two-year leave of absence, and if you calculate the time, there are only about six months left before it expires."
[Did my wife only give me two years to break into the Chinese entertainment industry?! [Pity]]
Thank goodness my wife showed up! Otherwise, I probably would have only seen him on the confession wall... [crying]
[It was inevitable that my wife would break free!]
[This Chen Hao is really disgusting! The smug look on his face when he laughs makes me want to punch him!]
Even if my wife didn't go to college, it's nothing to laugh at.
Many things in this world aren't related to academic qualifications, such as singing and dancing skills, acting skills... and even character. [Disdain]
What school does my wife go to? Can I dream that we'll be alumni next year? [starry-eyed]
"What school do you go to?" Chen Hao asked the same question.
It's clear he desperately wants an answer that will allow him to turn the tide.
After all, S University's journalism department can indeed stand out from many other schools and majors.
"To avoid causing unnecessary trouble for the school and alumni, I won't say anything more." Chi Li wasn't one to answer every question.
Chen Hao's lips twitched, suppressing the urge to press further. "... Then let's talk about something else."
As long as Chi Li isn't lying, with his face still around, netizens will definitely dig up information about which university he attended.
He can mock me later.
Chi Li: "Please go ahead."
Chen Hao asked many questions.
The conversation started with Chi Li's trainee life, then moved on to Zhou Yang, and finally to Zhou Yang's views on choosing a partner.
Chi Li answered some questions and didn't answer others.
After some twists and turns, Chen Hao finally steered the conversation to the secret mission. "Do you think it's possible for you and Shen Xunye to become a real couple?"
Thanks for the invitation, it's already true. (I'm certain)
[Yes, that's the question you should be asking.]
I strongly condemn this cheek-to-cheek contact! But I'm still really looking forward to the answer. [hehe]
[But I'm really afraid my wife will break up our relationship on the spot!!!]
[This was a huge gamble; becoming Night Ashes Dawn pairing is like celebrating the New Year on the spot!]
[(Anxious) (pacing back and forth) (transforms into a monkey and crawls all over the place) (swings on the chandelier) (wailes)]
Chi Li turned his head, seemingly sizing up Shen Xunye.
But he quickly looked away.
Chen Hao pressed his advantage. "Is this question difficult to answer?"
"This question isn't difficult at all." Chi Li's expression was calm, and he deliberately slowed his speech. "There's a saying—'Anything is possible.'"
He shifted his gaze to the nearest camera, staring intently at it as if speaking directly to the viewers in front of the screen. "If you dare to dream, nothing is impossible."
From the moment he dropped out of school, he began to imagine being the center of attention.
Well, I guess we've achieved half of it now.
[Aaaaaaah, I didn't deny it! Everyone, light some firecrackers to celebrate!!!]
[ Shen Xunye's lips curled up involuntarily, it was really funny. You little brat, you must be having the time of your life right now, hahaha!]
If they don't really talk it out, it'll be really hard to end this. [covers mouth]
[Is it okay to just dream it? Honey, you probably have no idea how daring I am. [Nosebleed]]
Anything is possible, which means there's also the possibility that I'm lying in bed and my wife just barges into my house and obediently crawls into my bed? (Lost in the thought)
[↑?]
[Don't call me again unless there's a pairing that sells better than Night Ashes Dawn. [Sunglasses] My tastes have been spoiled.]
[They can sell even more at new heights in the future, do you believe it? [winking emoji]]
[Even if it's incredibly tall, it's impossible to create a miniature version of myself in front of the camera. [Nosebleed] So go ahead and sell them, I can handle it.]
They can't build it either... [scratching head]
Shen Xunye forced a smile, glancing sideways at Chen Hao. "A boring question."
Chi Li nodded in agreement. "Indeed."
Chen Hao's first day of interviews has ended.
He didn't know whether the interview was a success or a failure.
All he knew was that he was very unhappy.
The interviewee's performance exceeded his expectations; he didn't see what he wanted to see, and instead made a fool of himself...
This is simply unacceptable.
But he can only blame himself for underestimating his opponent.
After he summarizes his experience and tries it on other people, he must interview Chi Li again to get back at him!
The next day, Chen Hao designated Jiang Lele as the new interviewee.
This was the easy target he carefully selected after reviewing the personality analyses of the members of the Half-Night Raising House.
Controlling him should be a piece of cake.
Jiang Lele sat down with a look of resignation.
Chen Hao scoffed at Chi Li, but he still followed his advice without hesitation.
Instead of directly asking Jiang Lele about her secret, he began to lay the groundwork.
During the setup, they didn't forget to sow discord between Jiang Lele and Chi Li.
How did you feel when you received the small packet of green tea from Chi Li?
"Green tea is delicious!" Jiang Lele blinked. "What do you think?"
After watching the clip of Chen Hao's interview with Chi Li yesterday, he became restless and went to Chi Li for advice.
Chi Li gave two suggestions: one was to reply randomly after reading the message.
Second, ask a question on the spot.
