Chapter 124
Line One: The chat content is rather abstract, with no fixed pattern and impossible to summarize. Topics involving money and food can bring out her true nature. (Crossed out.)
Line Two: Honest, sincere, sensible, pure, generous, devoted, kind, and loving.
[HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, which word in the second line has anything to do with Ning Xi?]
[Pretty sure Ning Xi held a knife to the director’s neck and made him change it.]
[Don’t even joke, that really does sound like something Ning Xi would do.]
[You people are not letting her off either.]
The Danmaku had gone completely wild over the shocking twist of Ning Xi and Xie Lanchen transforming into staff members.
Meanwhile, Wei Xuan and the other guests remained utterly unaware.
After Fu Zhi finished arguing with Jiang Sheshe, he exchanged a few perfunctory lines with Ning Mingyue before finally welcoming his third one among the female guests.
Female guests #3: “Hello.”
After the first two rounds of chatting, Fu Zhi had completely run out of patience.
He simply replied with an “o,” a homophone for “oh.”
He wanted the other party to understand his resistance.
Unexpectedly, the other party replied right away: “You deliberately sent an o. Are you trying to get my attention?”
Fu Zhi: “?”
Since when had Qin Se gone this crazy?
No, that was wrong. This definitely wasn’t Qin Se. Excluding Jiang Sheshe and Ning Mingyue, whom he had already contacted in the first two rounds, the person chatting with him had to be a staff member arranged by the Program Team.
Just then, Female guests #3 sent another message: “You only sent one ‘?’ Now even if I had last words, I wouldn’t want to say them.”
Fu Zhi’s fingers paused slightly. This deadpan way of talking… why did it feel so familiar?
A vague guess surfaced in his mind, but he wasn’t certain.
So he only sent a probing “[facepalm laugh]” emoji.
The other party: “Boys shouldn’t casually send that emoji, you know.”
Fu Zhi: “Why?”
The other party: “Holding a pipa and half hiding your face-either you’re shy, or you’ve got a secret crush. [heehee]”
Fu Zhi: “????”
Sis, are those even human words?
The Danmaku was also scorched crispy on the outside and tender on the inside from the cringe.
[No, seriously, Ning Xi, how many meals of peanut oil did you eat?]
[Learned something new. A fresh way to gross out my friends.]
[Sorry, my wife has embarrassed herself in public.]
Fu Zhi took a deep breath. He typed “Are you insane?” into the input box, but when he thought the person on the other end might be Ning Xi, he changed it to something much weaker: “Who gave you that confidence?!”
“Tsk.” Ning Xi looked at the message on her phone and couldn’t help shaking her head.
Did confidence need to be given by someone else?
She was born with it!
“Eight minutes have already passed,” Xie Lanchen calmly reminded her from the side.
Their mission was to impersonate staff members and interfere with the guests’ chats. Whoever could chat with a certain guest for the longest would receive an extra card, which could be exchanged for funds on the next leg of the trip.
Ning Xi’s tactic was to first find Wei Xuan and chat with him for eight minutes while pretending to be Jiang Sheshe.
That way, even if Wei Xuan later discovered during the guest-to-guest chat that she wasn’t Jiang Sheshe, there would be nothing he could do. It wouldn’t change the fact that their chat had lasted the longest.
Of course, because Wei Xuan talked too much nonsense, Ning Xi had simply started copy-pasting “Oh [blank stare]” midway through. She had even multitasked and opened a chat with Fu Zhi at the same time.
Now, her chat time with Fu Zhi had already exceeded the two minutes between Fu Zhi and Ning Mingyue, but it still hadn’t surpassed the four minutes Fu Zhi and Jiang Sheshe had spent cursing each other out.
“Are you planning to give up on Shen Yibai and only chat with Wei Xuan and Fu Zhi?” Xie Lanchen asked casually, as if he didn’t care.
“Makes sense. Fifteen minutes isn’t much time to begin with. If you can secure Wei Xuan and Fu Zhi’s two cards, that’s already impressive.”
Ning Xi shook her head and gave Xie Lanchen a mysterious smile. “I’m getting all three of their cards.”
Xie Lanchen turned his head, seeming a little puzzled.
Ning Xi smiled faintly, then began replying to Fu Zhi.
“Do you usually wear pants?”
Fu Zhi saw the message, and confusion flickered through his eyes for a second before he answered honestly, “Yeah.”
Ning Xi: “That unconfident, huh?”
Fu Zhi: “?”
“Ning… Where’s the staff member messaging me? Tell her to crawl! Out! Here!”
Fu Zhi shot to his feet, fuming.
No wonder the other party had sounded so familiar from the very first line. After that question just now, he was one hundred and twenty percent certain the person on the other end was Ning Xi!
After all, in the entire world, the only person who could make his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys ache with anger in just a few sentences was Ning Xi.
Director Qin immediately launched into emergency PR mode. “I’m sorry, but the staff are only responsible for behind-the-scenes work. If you’ve already guessed that one of your chat partners is a staff member, you can only reveal your guess after the mutual chat session ends.”
Fu Zhi sat back down, stifled and furious.
Then he began a one-sided barrage at the person on the other end of the phone. “Who isn’t confident? His grandpa’s egg, his sixth uncle’s cantaloupe sister’s giant squash auntie’s giant grape mommy’s cucumber dish daddy’s big bread third great-uncle’s giant plum second auntie’s little lychee auntie’s kiwi great-grandpa’s giant pineapple third great-auntie’s napa cabbage grandpa’s big eggplant grandma’s giant enoki mushroom little auntie’s giant quail egg sixth uncle’s cantaloupe sister’s giant squash grandpa’s giant chicken drumstick-I am the most freaking confident person alive!”
“You dared to mess with me? Then you’ve messed with a steel plate. You’ve crossed my bottom line. I’m definitely going to tell my friends bad things about you. If you mess with me, you’re in trouble, I’m telling you. There’s always been a Buddha in my heart, and that Buddha was suppressing a demon. You just knocked the Buddha down, so you just wait this time…”
From that moment until the mutual chat session ended, Fu Zhi’s hands never stopped furiously pounding at his keyboard.
[Now that is a real keyboard warrior]
[Fu Zhi hasn’t repeated a single line while flaming someone. Impressive]
[Between being spineless and cussing someone out, he chose to cuss them out spinelessly. The most ruthless thing he can do is actually “I’m definitely going to tell my friends bad things about you.” Princess, stop making me laugh]
[Looks like Fu Zhi has already figured out the person opposite him is Ning Xi. He wasn’t this pathetic when he was flaming Jiang Sheshe. He pissed Jiang Sheshe off so badly she almost smashed her phone]
[Wei Xuan still hasn’t realized the person opposite him isn’t Jiang Sheshe, but Fu Zhi confirmed it was Ning Xi from just a few lines. I just got a bite of expired ship candy]
[After all, in the whole entertainment industry, Ning Xi might be the only person who dares to say Fu Zhi “wears pants because he’s unconfident.” How could he not recognize her?]
[Hahahahahahahahahaha]
While Fu Zhi was maniacally sending message after message to bombard Ning Xi, Wei Xuan and Shen Yibai, who were sitting with him, both glanced at him.
Wei Xuan looked at the “Jiang Sheshe” on the other end of his phone, who was still sending “Oh [blank stare],” and once again confirmed the guess in his heart.
The person chatting with him was Sheshe. The staff member in charge of disrupting them had been chatting with Fu Zhi the whole time.
Shen Yibai’s lashes trembled slightly. That “Ning” Fu Zhi had blurted out just now-could it be…
He was still thinking when his phone suddenly popped up with a message from the last of the female guests.
“There are some things I’ve wanted to say to you for a long time, but I was afraid it would be too sudden. But if I don’t say them, I feel like I’d be irresponsible to both you and myself.
You confessed to me before, and at the time I said I needed to discuss it with my boyfriend. After I went back and thought about it, I realized I don’t have a boyfriend, so there’s nothing to discuss.
The two of us are still better suited to being friends. You’ll find someone better, and I’m suited for the best.
After all, scientists have said that once a person falls in love, both their IQ and EQ drop by 95%, and their troubles increase by 95% too.
But here comes the question: how does one reject love?
The scientists refused to say. They only left behind a strange string of symbols: KFC Crazy Thursday V me 50?”
