Chapter 28 - She Rejected s.h.i.+ Yingdi
—[I used to think she was lacking a brain, but now I"m thinking she"s lacking multiple organs...]
—[If it weren"t for s.h.i.+ Sui or Director Li could she even come on this show? And live in such a nice house? Please turn off her mic. As a vase, her face is not bad, but once she speaks the feeling disappears~]
Ah Nan, who had made a brief appearance in the beginning, was now consciously avoiding the camera, brus.h.i.+ng through the comments in a corner.
He had been madly posting a dozen or so long sentences of a.s.s-kissing comments at first before he realized how many people were flaming Xiang Yi online. He was so furious he began to report them.
Angrily, he roared on the live comments: [THIS IS XIANG YI"S HOME TO BEGIN WITH!!!]
However, among tens and thousands of comments, his sentence was drowned out like a drop of water in the tide, submerged in the blink of an eye.
After exchanging a few more greetings, Xiang Yi asked, "Senior, do you drink tea?"
"Mhmm."
The girl took out a tea set and began to decoct the water, wash the wares, and brew the tea… The spring tea looked extra refined in the transparent gla.s.s cups with floral decor like jade dew. Her soft and pale fingertips moved skillfully yet elegantly. Just her gestures alone were immensely pleasing to the eye.
At this moment, the live comments, which had showed no sign of defending Xiang Yi a moment ago, suddenly burst with: [So what if I was wrong? Of course I choose to forgive her!]
Ah Nan: ???
"Sure enough, I am not the only shallow person on this planet."
Xiang Yi finished brewing the tea, but before s.h.i.+ Sui could take a sip, they heard Li Jianyu announce, "Uhm… The guests have arrived early. Would the two of you like to greet them?"
Guests?
Xiang Yi remembered Ah Nan mentioning it. The first fly-in guests, or artists and entertainers who would only be on one episode of the show, was going to be a father-and-son duo: the famous director, Yan Zhenhua, and his son, Yan Nai.
s.h.i.+ Sui stood up. "I"ll go."
Xiang Yi remembered the information she"d looked up yesterday and picked up a small basket. "I heard the director likes cherries, I"ll go pick some."
Truthfully, the only person who wanted Xiang Yi to leave the lens far more than the netizens did was Xiang Yi herself.
She had traveled through countless universes, had even reached the brightest pinnacle at the stars, and had also fallen in the dirtiest mud. She had long gotten over people"s love and distaste for her.
At the end of the mission, she could have selected to go toward a higher route, or remain in any world that she had traveled through.
Xiang Yi, however, had chosen to return. To her, the most important thing was her family.
She was just about to leave, but she was stopped by s.h.i.+ Sui.
"Miss Xiang Yi, this manor is so large; for convenience of communication, can I add you on WeChat?" s.h.i.+ Sui had a pair of peachy eyes. When he smiled toward someone, there was always an illusion that he was being affectionate.
The netizens on stream: !!!
—[Ahhh no way no way! I won"t allow it!! Gege, you can"t add her!!!]
Then they heard Xiang Yi"s indifferent response. "I don"t use my phone much. If you need me, just shout."
The netizens: ???
—[What… What the f*ck?!]
—[I just sat up from my bed! Is the Vase Fairy crazy?!]
—[I don"t know if she"s crazy or not, but s.h.i.+ Sui"s fans are about to go crazy! She dared to reject s.h.i.+ Yingdi???]
