Ji Nanshu dug desperately through the original owner's memories and finally remembered something. Bai Nanchen, whom fans saw as handsome, well-born, and talented at both singing and dancing, had! Stinky! Feet!
Ji Nanshu's lips curved slightly. He waved the room key card in his hand and asked the production crew, "Do you have any gloves?"
The crew shook their heads. One staff member couldn't help asking, "Teacher Ji, what do you need gloves for?"
Ji Nanshu smiled until his eyes curved, pressed his index finger to his lips, and uttered, "A se~cret~!"
The crew, especially the cameraman, stood closest to Ji Nanshu. Through the lens, they could clearly see his glistening, peach-blossom eyes curve into crescents, his fanlike lashes flutter slightly, and the perfect upward curve of his lips. Paired with his delicate, fair skin, his beauty was truly breathtaking.
Mommy, help-
Someone's attacking me with their beauty!!!
The viewers who had gotten up early to watch the livestream were just as stunned.
[Aaaaah, holy shit, Ji Nanshu's looks are seriously killing me!!]
[How can anyone be this good-looking?!]
[This god-tier beauty-I've decided. He's my husband from now on!]
[Don't forget he's a homewrecker! He even seduced his own little brother's fiancé!]
[Homewreckers out of showbiz! Ji Nanshu out of showbiz!!]
[The idiot above!]
[The idiot above +1!]
[Watch if you want to, or get lost!]
Ji Nanshu immediately turned and returned to his room. He took out the masks Chu Mo had packed for him, put on three, then went into the bathroom and picked up his used toothbrush.
The production staff were baffled too: ?????? What was going on?!
A t-toothbrush could wake someone up too?
Wearing his masks and holding up the toothbrush, Ji Nanshu opened Bai Nanchen's door with the key card. He scanned the room, headed straight for where Bai Nanchen kept his shoes, and picked up one of Bai Nanchen's worn, stinking socks with a look of disgust. Then he rushed to the bedside and tossed it squarely onto Bai Nanchen's mouth.
The crew: "..."
"What stinks so much?!" Bai Nanchen was jolted awake by the smell.
Completely unprepared, the crew were practically suffocating from the stench and went numb. It stank enough to make them gag!!!
Only then did Ji Nanshu drawl, "Hi~"
Seeing Ji Nanshu before him, Ji Nanchen looked utterly incredulous. He hadn't seen Ji Nanshu since the incident at Xiaoyu's engagement banquet a few days ago, and even now, the spot Ji Nanshu had kicked still seemed to ache. In the meantime, he'd heard from Xiaoyu that Ji Nanshu had come back for some ring and nearly driven their parents mad.
"You...!!" Ji Nanchen was about to start cursing when he noticed the crew filming behind Ji Nanshu and suddenly realized they were recording a show.
Wait-
Ji Nanshu actually had access to opportunities this good?!
"Time to get up, Heavenly King Bai~" Smiling, Ji Nanshu waved the toothbrush in his hand. "We're leaving at eight sharp."
Before Bai Nanchen could speak, Ji Nanshu hurriedly threw away the toothbrush and swiftly left the room with the crew.
There was no other reason. The stench was simply unbearable.
The moment the door closed, the crew began gulping down fresh air.
After waking the next four guests, only the final mystery guest remained.
Ji Nanshu looked at the key card in his hand. For some reason, he had a bad feeling.
He decided to trust his instincts and meekly swiped the card to enter. The person inside was still fast asleep.
Ji Nanshu switched on the light and immediately spotted the suitcase standing against the wall. He walked over to the bed.
It looked just a little familiar.
As though he'd seen it only yesterday.
He spoke cautiously. "Um... sir, it's time to get up. They've started filming."
Only the top of the person's head showed above the covers. After a long moment, an arm emerged from beneath the blanket, wrapped around Ji Nanshu's waist, and swept him underneath.
The instant the blanket covered him, Ji Nanshu stopped moving.
That familiar scent... it was his sugar daddy!
The crew swiftly turned the camera away and said, "Teacher Ji, we'll wait downstairs for you two!"
Chu Mo's actions and the crew's conspicuous attempt to cover them up sent the comments into a frenzy.
[Holy shit, what's going on? Did anyone see who the mystery guest was?]
[Those arm muscles...]
[Hurry up and turn the camera back! What is there that a premium VIP like me isn't allowed to see?]
[That arm... I think that's my ultimate bias! That little bastard Chu Mo!]
[Would Film Emperor Chu go on a variety show like this? He never goes on variety shows!]
[I'll bet fifty cents it's not Film Emperor Chu!]
[I'll bet a dollar! It's definitely that rascal Chu Gouzi!!]
[...Are you really Film Emperor Chu's fans? You all call him that?]
[You know nothing about what a dog Chu Mo is!!]
Once the crew had all left, Chu Mo lifted the blanket, pinned Ji Nanshu beneath him, and kissed him hard several times.
Ji Nanshu had enormous question marks over his head. "Is this what you meant by coming to see me?"
"You said you'd miss me."
So he'd come. What was wrong with that?
Ji Nanshu pressed a hand to his forehead. "Then hurry up and get out of bed."
Chu Mo slowly got dressed and washed up, then accompanied Ji Nanshu to collect his luggage before they went downstairs and boarded the bus together.
The two of them were actually the first to arrive.
Li Lan was second. The moment she boarded, she spotted Chu Mo beside Ji Nanshu. She was a little shocked. Although she hadn't had much contact with Chu Mo, she knew he never went on variety shows. And he seemed to be on pretty good terms with Ji Nanshu.
Li Lan greeted them with a smile. "Teacher Chu, Teacher Ji."
Chu Mo nodded in acknowledgment.
"Hello, Ms. Li."
The third to come down was Yu Lu, an actor who had debuted only recently. He greeted Chu Mo and Li Lan with exceptional enthusiasm, then gave Ji Nanshu a lukewarm greeting before sitting beside Li Lan.
The fourth arrival was a pair who came together, a man and a woman.
The man was the all-round entertainer Jian Yuanjia, and the woman was his junior, Cen Yan, a popular female rapper.
Jian Yuanjia's eyes went wide at the sight of Ji Nanshu. He went straight over and grabbed his hand. "Hello, gorgeous!!! I'm Jian Yuanjia!!! I didn't get a chance to introduce myself earlier."
Ji Nanshu nodded slightly and smiled. "Ji Nanshu."
His face dark, Chu Mo pried Jian Yuanjia's hand away. "Jian! Yuan! Jia!"
Only then did Jian Yuanjia notice Chu Mo beside him. "Oh! Brother Chu! You're here too!"
Couldn't he see someone this big sitting here? Was he blind?
Chu Mo gave Jian Yuanjia a cold, sidelong look. "...If you're not using your eyes, donate them to someone who needs them."
Beside him, Cen Yan sighed and grabbed the back of Jian Yuanjia's collar. "Teacher Chu, Teacher Ji, sorry! My senior's brain has never worked very well. I'll take him away right now."
"Hey, hey, hey!! Yanyan, don't drag me! I can walk myself!!"
"I'm afraid your legs might get broken on top of you being blind. Let me lead you, senior."
Faced with the threat, Jian Yuanjia immediately wilted. "J-junior, slow down..."
Boo-hoo-hoo, even his own older brother might not beat him up, but his junior really would.
The fifth was Jiang Yue, a crosstalk performer who didn't look very energetic. After boarding, he merely greeted everyone politely, then sat behind Jian Yuanjia and Cen Yan and closed his eyes to rest without saying anything more.
Bai Nanchen was the last to arrive. The moment he boarded, he saw Ji Nanshu sitting right at the front. Remembering how Ji Nanshu had woken him earlier, his expression grew even uglier.
But Bai Nanchen also knew they were livestreaming, so he wasn't foolish enough to say anything. He merely gave a cold snort as he passed Ji Nanshu.
