Chapter 68: El Officially Announces
Having been ignored for a long time, Zhou Mi’s first response was actually to freeze for two seconds, and then he got energetic.
“What do you mean! So I helped out and helped wrong, is that it!!”
Fan Fangfang took two deep breaths, but still couldn’t suppress that fire. Until today, three games had been played. Clearly, they had a numerical advantage, but they were number one every time! (Note: Likely implies number one from the bottom/last place based on the context of losing).
Every time it was Zhou Mi dragging their feet!
Especially today! Today’s game had the most advantage! They had three people! In the two-group confrontation, other groups only had two people!
But with such an advantage!
They could still lose!!
It was her first time here too! She also wanted to go out on dates and play!!
“Before the game started, we agreed that Su Rui and I would prep and cook, and you only needed to help serve. You left your own work undone and insisted on coming to help, disrupting Su Rui and my rhythm.”
“I think not many people would want such help, right?”
Zhou Mi choked on these words, then said stubbornly, “Don’t be ungrateful here! It was you who didn’t place things properly! Now you’re blaming me!”
It had to be said that Zhou Mi’s actions over these few days had completely ruined his popularity.
Also thanks to him, the voices crusading against Chu Xiaoran online were quieter. The trending topics were basically all about him acting like a diva, and whether he could hurry up and get the hell out of This Is Love‘s recording.
The guests in the e-sports room had similar attitudes. Everyone was watching the drama, looking at him with eyes like looking at a clown. Not a single person stood up to speak for him.
Even Fang Mo chose to spectate.
After all, that confrontation match just now was played by him against Zhou Mi. Fan Fangfang and Su Rui were very fast; he originally thought he was going to lose. Who knew Zhou Mi’s few “helps” made all the dishes wrong, forcing them to redo.
As the victorious side, speaking up at this time was an unwise choice.
On matters not involving Chu Xiaoran and Lin Huaizhi, Fang Mo’s head was still very clear.
“Fine, fine, fine!”
Zhou Mi swept his gnashing teeth across the crowd, finally landing his gaze on Fan Fangfang.
“It’s fine if others are like this, but you, Fan Fangfang—I haven’t treated you badly these days, right! You actually are the first one to find fault with me!”
“You are very good!”
Zhou Mi left the scene indignantly. Before leaving, he not only smashed the chair but the host computer was also hit by the chair leg. Not to mention the tempered glass of the sea-view room being shattered, the graphics card inside worth tens of thousands was also tragically snapped.
Amidst the silence, Dai Keqing spoke slowly: “The landlord’s computer is top-spec. This guest surnamed Zhou could destroy it in anger, so presumably, he won’t lack this money and will definitely be willing to be responsible for compensation.”
Everyone saw Dai Keqing’s sarcasm, but no one said anything.
Especially the netizens watching the live stream; they all shouted that it was satisfying.
Some directly asked when Zhou Mi could be kicked out, but a small group of people sensed a trace of something unusual.
[To be honest, although Zhou Mi went overboard only in this episode, he wasn’t exactly quiet in the previous two episodes. The director could be pleasant to him back then, so why suddenly can’t he tolerate it now?]
[I’ll also tell the truth. I think there’s something fishy between the director and El. It seems he started black-facing Zhou Mi right after Zhou Mi conflicted with El.]
[You don’t say! You really don’t say! I’m an El fan! But I really feel his eyes looking at the director aren’t clean!!]
[Also, after the first game, El was second place and had a thousand in romance funds. But the next day he didn’t turn on the live stream. No one knew if he went on a date. But that night, there was a post online saying someone ran into him, seemingly with a man!]
[Could it be… we are going to have a male sister-in-law?]
El’s fans were different from Chu Xiaoran’s. Perhaps because El himself was relaxed, always sunny, cheerful, and generous, his fans were also big-hearted.
Regarding the idol dating, they also viewed it very openly.
They even looked forward to a sister-in-law.
So under the barrage of guesses in the bullet comments, fans started digging into El’s social media accounts, wanting to see a trace of clues.
Until the sixth day, which was also the last night of this romance variety show live stream, countless fans finally started talking about the details they found.
[Holy sh*t! I found that El and the director’s social accounts have check-ins at the same locations every month! And the times are very close!]
[And last year! Last year El said he was resting for National Day and going to a temple to pray for an amulet for a very important person. Then during that time! It happened to be when the director accidentally fell! Although El didn’t update his location when praying for the amulet, in the first episode, the director wore an amulet around his neck!]
[Family, who understands! Before El debuted, he was an exchange student in Dragon City! He had interactions with the director back then! Later he joined Huameng. It’s hard not to think he did it on purpose!!]
[Younger attacker (Year-down)!! Younger attacker is the best!!!]
The bullet comments were practically a chaotic dance of demons. Because the guests’ rooms were basically equipped with screens to watch comments in real-time, El didn’t miss these.
Dai Keqing didn’t miss them either.
After all, he basically stayed in El’s live stream wearing a vest (anonymous account).
But Dai Keqing didn’t say anything, nor did he send a message telling El to remain silent, because he was really curious about what El’s reaction would be, or if he would just ignore it.
El didn’t ignore it.
The tall blond man looked left and right, like a thief, and whispered, “You guys really shock me. Can you analyze so much just from some updates?”
[Ahhh! Is this an admission??!]
[So we really are going to have a male sister-in-law!! But you don’t say, with the director’s figure, paired with El… will he really not be broken?]
El shuddered upon seeing those comments: “Don’t talk nonsense! Don’t let him see these! He gets shy easily!”
[Okay, this is an admission.]
[What admission! How is this f*cking different from an official announcement!!]
El pulled a smile: “But I indeed came to participate in this romance variety show for him. I didn’t want to be separated from him for too long, but he has work, so I could only be more proactive.”
[I admit I was a bit loud just now. That wasn’t an official announcement. This f*cking is the official announcement!!!]
El sighed again.
“But he’s been so cold to me lately. I don’t know if my ‘taking without asking’ (unannounced) joining the variety show made him unhappy.”
[To this day, El’s Chinese attainment can still shock me a hundred times.]
[Taking without asking?? That idiom isn’t used like that! Are you trying to say ‘without saying a word’ (silent/unannounced), bro!!]
