Chapter 229: Chapter 210: Might as Well Beat Him to Death!

Zhu Xiu’an diverted the trouble with one move, successfully scaring the post-production team so much they dropped their chicken drumsticks.

[Bamboo, too much bamboo, bamboo ascends to the heavens!]

[This dumb dog’s IQ has recently skyrocketed, knows to send Zhi Zhi to snatch, comforting, quite an improvement~]

[@Director Wang give extra drumsticks to post-production, don’t be cowardly! We’re with you!]

The post-production team stared at the comments, barely finding a bit of comfort from the fans.

Just then, Ji Xizhi, sitting in the middle, replied solemnly to Zhu Xiu’an, “Already started learning.”

The program post-production team instantly tensed up: ?!!! She’s really going to snatch it!

The post-production team watched as the show aired to the scene of Ji Xizhi giving money to the pork vendor, holding the PD’s camera.

The camera caught the moment the PD colleague snatched the camera from Ji Xizhi’s hands, the post-production team’s hearts were trembling.

While editing this segment earlier, the post-production team even added a meme for the PD, “You lost your job.”

Now that meme just boomeranged back into their hearts.

The program team began to feel emo.

On the show, Ji Xizhi and the other guests happily munched on their exclusive five-dollar treats and leisurely returned to the courtyard.

In Ji Xizhi’s room, she was intently watching, without a word, and the others on the sofa were the same, only an occasional chain of laughter.

Qin Xuan, sitting far away, was watching “Life Experience” for the first time.

In the first episode, he had only found Zhong Yulu’s cut online to watch.

Now, “forced” to watch the full episode, he initially had some resistance, not wanting to watch Ji Xizhi’s parts.

Gradually though… he couldn’t help it!

He bit his lip hard, his laughter almost spilling out.

Totally uncontrollable.

Qin Xuan let out a weird laugh from his throat: “Ho ho ho ho~”

Qin Yutian, closest to him, turned to quietly remind him, “If you want to laugh, just laugh, don’t make such strange sounds!”

Qin Xuan: “…I’m not laughing!”

Qin Yutian looked at Qin Xuan with a face that didn’t understand the rebellious minds of young people: “… Maybe you should look in the mirror.”

Qin Xuan: “.” So annoying, Ji Xizhi is really so annoying!!!

Qin Xuan clamped a hand over his mouth, eyes finally moving away from the TV, only glancing back whenever Zhong Yulu appeared.

Though each recording session for the show was long, much was cut during editing, so what aired wasn’t extensive.

With so many guests, the screen time for each was limited.

Every time Ji Xizhi appeared, she brought topics with her, so she had extra screen time.

Just as Qin Xuan’s head was about to explode from restraining himself, a few people finally led the Lishui County villagers on stage to perform.

Qin Xuan watched Zhong Yulu’s performance, then quickly withdrew his gaze again.

Unexpectedly, when it was Ji Xizhi’s turn, there was a power outage, and she dispelled the darkness by storytelling, bringing light back.

Qin Xuan, having lurked in fan communities for a while, and being part of the anti-fan group, understood the entertainment industry’s complexities well.

The lights worked for everyone else but there was an issue with Ji Xizhi’s group’s lighting.

No need to think much, he understood.

Something was fishy.

Qin Xuan unconsciously frowned.

He didn’t like Ji Xizhi much now, but he wasn’t going to further tarnish her reputation.

What happened to Ji Xizhi on the show might happen to his own cousin next time.

Qin Xuan reassured himself and focused on watching.

Being a hardcore fan of Zhong Yulu, his attention naturally focused on her, and with a few camera cuts, he was more alert to her absence.

Qin Xuan’s heart sank.

Especially when Zhong Yulu, with a terrified expression, squeezed through the crowd and accidentally fell.

After editing, only a second of Zhong Yulu’s micro-expression was left.

But he noticed.

Being her fan for so long, he understood what expressions symbolized what emotions.

He looked up at Ji Xizhi, who remained composed and focused on the central sofa.

Meanwhile, on the show, despite Ji Xizhi’s segment being interrupted, she was still reminding nearby residents to check the voltage.

For an instant, Qin Xuan felt messy inside.

The variety show ended after the awards were announced.

The second episode of “Life Experience” was completely watched.

Everyone came to Ji Xizhi’s place to catch the show together and have some fun, now that the show was over, they were ready to leave.

Zhu Xiu’an missed dinner for a spot, stubbornly watching all night with a growling stomach.

He almost hugged everyone’s thigh, shouting, “Don’t go, no one’s allowed to leave! You must stay and finish dinner with me!”

Fang Zhuyue / Ah Lu / Qin Yutian / Qin Xuan: “…”

If they had known, they would’ve given him something offhandedly earlier.

Zhu Xiu’an, being so dramatic, finally left everyone helpless, just watching him eat.

Zhu Xiu’an: “Come, come, come, we’ll share some fat, everyone have a skewer!”

The others: “……” Ugh, just kill him!

When the skewers were passed to Ji Xizhi.

Zhu Xiu’an was just about to speak.

Ji Xizhi was quicker, reaching her hand out to Zhu Xiu’an.

Ji Xizhi: “Give me your phone!”

Zhu Xiu’an: “Huh?”

He froze for a moment, then unlocked the phone without hesitation and handed it to Ji Xizhi.

Ji Xizhi had a calm expression, quickly opened a game.

Fang Zhuyue, a bit puzzled, said, “Still want to play games?”

Ji Xizhi wasn’t interested in games, which she could tell, today’s friendly match was for legal practice teaching, and now that the show was over, why would she still want to game?

Zhu Xiu’an and Qin Yutian were also a bit confused, “It’s getting late, still playing?”

Even Xiao Yuan, who hadn’t yet closed the live-stream room, had fans who were stunned.

[Didn’t she say Ji Xizhi doesn’t like gaming? The promo with Director Wang is all done, why still playing?]

[Private practice? With Ji Xizhi’s skill level, it’s been years of hard training, how else could she easily do it!]

[Normal, keeping the genius student persona is normal, maybe she forgot to turn off the live-stream room this time, exposed~]

The remaining viewers in the live-stream looked accustomed to these stunts by entertainment stars.

Ji Xizhi held Zhu Xiu’an’s phone, still calmly and swiftly entering matchmaking, locking in the hero, only looking up after the game started to speak to Zhu Xiu’an, who was still holding the skewer, “Didn’t I say I’d help you rank up?”

Zhu Xiu’an: “!!!”

Help! Him! Rank! Up!

Zhu Xiu’an almost crushed the skewer in his hand.

[Hit him, Zhi Zhi always remembers to fulfill promises~]

[Sobs, Zhi Zhi is simply the best friend in the world~]

[No, I won’t allow you to ship them, wait till the dumb dog gets into Qing University, then you can!]
