Chapter 78: Surging Heat
Chapter 78
As soon as Wen Qingyan approached where Jing Zejun and others were, the topic was already trending on social media: 'Dear Family' Wen Qingyan and Jing Zejun on vacation!
Below the topic were images of Wen Qingyan and Jing Zejun's road trip, clearly showing that the scenery passed by their two cars was exactly the same!
[I swear! Wen Qingyan is definitely doing this on purpose! All that talk about 'going wherever the road takes me' is a lie!]
[Is my 'Jun Qing' ship finally becoming real?! After so many years, is it really happening?!]
There were even thoughtful variety show fans who highlighted the conversation between Wen Qingyan and Wen Yin.
[Look at the expression on Wen's brother's face, it's totally a 'listening to big brother's nonsense' look!]
[Don't tell me it's a coincidence! Coincidentally going to Xi Yuan is one thing, but now coincidentally ending up at the Jing family villa?! That's in the deep mountains!!!]
[Could it be that Jing Zejun is the person his brother has had in his heart all these years?!]
[What? What?! What did I miss, people above?!]
[I think it's 90% certain now. If not, either I've been blind as a ten-year fan, or my brother has a GPS in his brain!]
[I knew there was a reason he suddenly agreed to do a variety show! I thought it was because his boss was also there, so he compromised. I was so naive! Really!]
[What on earth are you all talking about? What secret can't be openly discussed?!]
[This variety show director is really raking it in...]
[I'm crying my eyes out! My 'Jun Qing'! I once thought they would always just be strangers!]
[Can CP fans stop being so self-indulgent? Could it be that your beloved brother only became interested after seeing Jing Zejun enter a wealthy family?]
[Watch your mouth, person above! Even if the Jing family is wealthy, Wen Qingyan hasn't been in the entertainment industry all these years for nothing!]
['Jun Qing'! Jiu Sheng, your Yuan Chen brother has come to find you!]
The popularity of the 'Dear Family' variety show skyrocketed instantly. Fortunately, Director Xu was prepared, otherwise the live stream would have crashed from the traffic.
The audience was mainly concentrated in Jing Zejun and Wen Qingyan's live stream, while the other streams had relatively weaker viewership.
Before this, Li Shaocheng was also planning a trip. She received a message from her manager and found an excuse to go to the bathroom, where she opened the app.
Sure enough, she saw everyone discussing Jing Zejun and Wen Qingyan's situation.
Li Shaocheng could barely contain her anger, accompanied by a feeling of humiliation.
The popularity of the two seemed to mock her: See? They can easily surpass you with a single action. You sisters just can't compare to the Jing Zejun sisters, you're simply not as good as Jing Yi!
Li Shaocheng gripped her phone tightly, unable to regain her composure in the bathroom for a long time. Outside, the staff were starting to worry, as Li Shaocheng's expression hadn't looked good earlier.
"Sister, is Shaocheng feeling unwell?"
Li Shaocheng's sister looked up in confusion, understanding the staff member's implication, and went to the bathroom door.
"Chengzi, are you alright?"
"Get lost!" Li Shaocheng's angry voice came through.
Her sister instinctively looked at the staff, her expression a bit embarrassed, but she immediately covered for her, "Chengzi might not be feeling well, I'll go check on her."
[Come on, that attitude is way too bad...]
[I've always felt that Li Shaocheng and her sister's relationship seemed fake.]
[Chengzi is just not feeling well! Don't take this opportunity to sow discord in their relationship!]
[Who hasn't argued with family before! Chengzi looked really unwell earlier, she must not be feeling good physically.]
As her sister was about to knock, Li Shaocheng inside realized they were still filming and quickly changed her expression, opening the door.
"...Chengzi, are you feeling unwell?" Li Shaocheng immediately pretended to have a stomach ache, "Sister, I'm sorry, my stomach was hurting so badly, that's why my tone was off just now. Please don't be angry with me."
Whether it was true or not, Li Shaocheng's sister hadn't planned to make an issue of it anyway, and stepped forward to support her.
Even the staff gathered around, "Shaocheng, are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?"
Li Shaocheng weakly shook her head, indicating that she just needed to rest in her room for a bit, and let her sister help her there.
The comments were filled with sympathetic messages.
After Li Shaocheng was sent back to her room, the camera could only focus on her sister. To avoid awkwardness, the staff suggested she could make something simple for Li Shaocheng to eat.
Li Shaocheng's sister thought this was indeed better than just sitting idly on the sofa.
She went to the kitchen, while netizens were still discussing Li Shaocheng's condition. They were surprised to see her sister enter the kitchen.
Li Shaocheng had mentioned before that her sister was too busy with work to cook for herself, but her sister's actions didn't look like those of a novice.
A staff member curiously asked, "Sister, so you actually know how to cook?"
Li Shaocheng's sister's hand paused, her eyes clearly flashing with panic, "I just... I've watched Chengzi cook so many times, so I'm trying it out. I'm not as good at cooking as Chengzi."
The staff member didn't say whether they believed her or not, and continued filming her actions.
After being called out by the staff, the sister's movements notably slowed down, deliberately feigning clumsiness.
[See? Isn't it strange?]
[Chengzi's sister probably does know how to cook...]
[No matter how many times I watch Li Shaocheng's part, it always feels odd.]
[You're all overthinking it! I don't find it strange at all.]
Later, more fans came to explain in the comments, but some netizens still remained skeptical.
Meanwhile, Li Shaocheng was unaware of the arguments in her live stream. She was contacting internet trolls to cause trouble in Jing Zejun's live stream.
Since her manager wouldn't help her, she'd solve it herself!
Her live stream already had lower viewership than the other two, and now they were stealing even more attention. How could Li Shaocheng accept this?!
She had considered following Jing Zejun to his travel destination, but it was too late now. If she followed now, it would obviously look like she was jumping on the bandwagon.
At that point, not only would she fail to gain fans, she'd likely face even more ridicule.
At the same time, Li Shaocheng in her room was frantically thinking about how to film this episode of the variety show to win back popularity.
On her sister's side, the porridge was almost ready. She was hesitating whether it would be better to call Li Shaocheng out, to give her a heads up and avoid another incident like earlier.
But the staff had already signaled for her to take it over.
Such a heartwarming scene between sisters, the show producers definitely wouldn't want to miss it.
Her sister sighed internally, but still picked up the bowl of porridge and walked towards Li Shaocheng's room.
The camera crew quickly followed with their equipment, waiting for the anticipated scene.
She gently knocked on the door.
