Ji Lin Stood on guard in front of Siyu like a puppy guarding its food. However, Wen Yuan didn’t feel threatened even by the slightest bit. He continued to look at Siyu with those pairs of gentle eyes, “Many people talked all over the internet that the relationship between you two is good. It seems like it’s true.”

Siyu saw Ji Lin suddenly get into a one-sided dispute with the other person. She immediately pushed her foolish younger brother back and whispered a bit sheepishly, “Film Emperor Wen, don’t take it to heart, Ji Lin was merely cracking a joke.”

“Siyu-jie, don’t be deceived by this Wen Yuan’s appearance. He is very cunning! I usually played PUBG together with him and he could dig pits for me and caused my death!” It’s obvious that Ji Lin had a good friendship with this young Film Emperor and spoke as he pleases. Out of consideration for Siyu (for stopping him), He could only sit there and snorted, “He’s an old fox, and now he’s acting in front of my sister.”

Wen Yuan heard Ji Lin called Siyu ‘Jie-jie’, but he didn’t take it seriously. It’s very common for people in the entertainment circle to become sworn brothers/sisters. He was merely curious: with the position Ji Lin had now, why would he take a fancy on a mere newcomer who had just embarked on her career and identify her as his ‘Jie-jie’?

Wen Yuan might seem to be gentle and polite to everyone, but in reality, there weren’t many friends who could truly converse with him. Ji Lin was one of them. Therefore, he unconsciously became a bit interested in unfurling this “Jie-jie” whom his close friend used every possible means to protect. He wanted to know what kind of girl could make people like Ji Lin, who was outwardly warm but cold inside, to cautiously hold her in the apex of his heart—— After all, Ji Lin and he had the same innate character. 

All eight honored guests had arrived. Siyu had only sat for about ten minutes before the show officially began. The two MC were obviously experienced in warming up the scene. They hyped up the atmosphere with only a few words.

The female MC, Sangzi, winked with a sly smile and said, “Today marked the first anniversary of our《Unfathomable Challenge》. On such a special day, All the scenarists and directors of the program crew decided to add a little extra fun for everyone!”

Those permanent honored guests all let out a wail. Someone even exaggeratedly sprawled back on the sofa like a salted fish1, “Please spare me. You guys said it’s something ‘fun’, but you guys surely worked hard to dig pits for us. The program crew would secretly take joy in seeing us suffering!” 

Sangzi said with a mysterious smile, “Don’t give up so quickly. There’s only a bit of change in our game’s rules. In the past, everyone was all in pairs, but today it will be different. The number of people in each team will change to three, and each team will have a ‘mole’ .2 The mole belongs to another group, their purpose is to enter and create confusion! If your team loses in the game, it can be counted as the ‘mole’ successfully sown discord and the team where the ‘mole’ belongs to will get a point. After the game is over, the score will be announced. When the moment comes, the team at the bottom will receive severe punishment, o~” 

“WTF, three people? Previously, when it’s just two people on a team, I was beaten to death. This time, the difficulty actually increased. I don’t want to live anymore! Don’t want to live anymore!”

“Crew program, you guys are so capable(sarcastic)! Who came up with such a stupid idea?!”

Siyu tilted her head and sighed, “Isn’t it really just to see who has the strongest ability to hold others back?”

“Just get used to it.” Wenyuan was the only permanent guest who remained calm and unmoved. He turned his head towards Siyu with a smile. “However, I think that even if you get a ‘mole’, no one will think of suspecting you.”

Siyu curiously asked, “Why?”

Wen Yuan looked attentively at her and said, “Because you simply don’t look like one.” This girl’s appearance has too many natural advantages. Her delicate and soft look made people think that talking with a loud voice could frighten her. She simply looked like she had nothing to do with treacherousness and craftiness. 

Siyu said, “Why do I feel that you’ve raised a flag….”

The camera faithfully recorded the reaction and dialogue of all the people. Seeing the tumult the guests were in, The other MC, Ji Tong, promptly stood up, “Don’t worry. The show this time needs nine people altogether. We are still lacking one more person here. I will risk my life and voluntarily join you guys in the game, okay?”

“Ai, Ji Tong is really kind. Good brother, rest assured, we won’t show you mercy!”

Ji Tong hastily begged for mercy, “Please don’t brother, this is the directors’ idea. I’m also one of the victims. I seek you guys to find and settle accounts with them!”

Everybody roared with laughter.

They use the simple method of lots drawing to determine the groups. The staff members rushed up with a large cardboard box and asked all the honored guests to take the lots in order. Taking advantage of the free time when they’re drawing lots, Sangzi interviewed each one of them and asked who they wanted the most as their groupmate. When she asked the question to Chu Shuangyan, she pointed her finger to Ji Lin without the slightest hesitation, “It must be A-Lin. I came for him, so I have to be in the same group as him!”

This phrase was too straightforward. Ji Lin’s face, who was pointed at, turned black. He really wished that he could disappear from that place. This stupid Chu Shuangyan, he already told her from ages ago that they have nothing to do with each other. Yet she made an uproar everywhere. Was she displeased with her current ‘popularity’ ? 

But Sangzi’s eyes lit up, sure enough, it was right to ask Chu Shuangyan to come. She turned to Ji Lin and asked, “Then, what about Ji-ge? Do you also want to be in the same group with our Shuangyan?”

This was a clever question. Ji Lin didn’t say he doesn’t want to, he also didn’t say he wants to. He indifferently answered, “The lots drawing is not something that I can control, it depends on luck.” 

T/N: I was testing a new footnote method yesterday XD. Sorry to y’all for seeing the mess yesterday.
