Shi Xinxin spent the past few days arranging company matters, preparing for upcoming orders.
Once she appeared on the variety show, there would be a continuous influx of orders.
As long as the company system was in place, she wouldn't have to worry.
She joined the first guest group with Xiao Jue. Upon entering, it was very quiet, everyone maintaining a cool, aloof silence.
Fang Qi was the only one welcoming everyone individually in the group.
Director Fang Qi: Welcome Shi Xinxin!
Xiao Jue: Welcome Xiao Jue!
Xiao Jue: Welcome Shi Xinxin!
Yin Xue: Welcome Shi Xinxin!
Shi Xinxin replied with a thank you to Fang Qi, then looked at Xiao Jue and also replied: Welcome Xiao Jue!
But regarding Yin Xue, Shi Xinxin tapped her chin. They hadn't even met, so what should she do?
She replied: Welcome Yin Xue! Then replied again: Thanks for the welcome.
Yin Xue, seeing these extremely self-preserving replies, chuckled. This person’s personality suited her well; she actually liked her.
After some thought, she clicked on Shi Xinxin's WeChat and sent a friend request.
“Yin Xue doesn't play with snow requests to add you as a friend”
Shi Xinxin clicked to accept.
Yin Xue easily sent a hello, "My name is Yin Xue," along with a cute emoji.
Shi Xinxin also replied, but it seemed distant and indifferent. They exchanged remarks.
Yin Xue: I just feel a connection with you, no need to be nervous. You're very interesting, and I really want to be friends.
Shi Xinxin: Although… still, thank you. You're the first person to directly say I'm interesting. Haha, I don't know if we can be friends.
Yin Xue saw that Shi Xinxin replied to every single one of her messages, her personality was genuine, neither fawning nor cold.
She maintained clear boundaries with Yin Xue, and Yin Xue had to admit that such a woman was truly charming.
Yin Xue: Then I look forward to our meeting.
Fang Qi announced the filming location and time in the group chat, explaining some precautions, and then fell silent.
Shi Xinxin found it very interesting. It was her first time participating in something like this. This program was definitely not just for fun.
She didn't pack any cosmetics, but brought a lot of protective gear and plenty of food and convenience items that the "little brats" had shoved into her bag.
She repeatedly read the precautions sent by Fang Qi, trying to find loopholes.
This variety show was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
Otherwise, Xiao Jue wouldn't have repeatedly told her how interesting this program was.
...
Time flew by quickly, and it was the day to head to the filming location. Shi Xinxin finally managed to settle down the three children who were reluctant to see her go.
Then, she drove with her assistant to the location Fang Qi had provided.
When Shi Xinxin entered the location into the navigation, she discovered something unusual.
It seemed the game had already begun from the moment the notification was sent.
This was a famous resort in Yun City, known for its authentic mountainous environment and green, healthy natural surroundings.
The only drawback of going up the mountain was having to carry your own luggage and hike from the foot of the mountain at an altitude of 200 meters to the mountainside at 400 meters.
It was precisely because of this that the resort had gained its fame.
The terrain there was open and offered great vacationing fun.
When Shi Xinxin drove to the foot of the mountain, Director Fang Qi was already waiting. Following closely behind Shi Xinxin's car was another expensive vehicle.
Yang Yue chatted with Shi Xinxin for a while, made arrangements, and then drove back.
Shi Xinxin walked over easily, carrying a small suitcase, dressed in a casual black and white tracksuit.
Her hair was tied up in a neat, sharp ponytail, with a few playful strands of hair escaping from the sides, looking more charming and elegant than bangs.
As soon as she arrived, she politely greeted Fang Qi and the surrounding staff.
Her attitude was neither subservient nor arrogant, her eyes clear and bright. Upon closer inspection, she wasn't wearing any makeup, and her eyes naturally curved into a beautiful arc.
This scene was captured by the cameras, and the people in the live broadcast room, who were not visible to the guests, became excited.
[Sister Shi looks so good without makeup. Looks like she thought this was a pre-recorded segment, sitting on her suitcase so cutely!]
[How does she manage to be both cute and aloof?]
[Snow baby is here too!]
Yin Xue got out of a Maserati that was parked behind Shi Xinxin's car.
She was dragging a parent-child set of suitcases, slightly larger than Shi Xinxin's.
She wore black culottes that could be cinched at the ankles, and a black and white striped shirt tucked into them, giving her a stylish look.
She wore light makeup, with simple enhancements around her eyes, giving her an alluring yet not gaudy aura. Unlike Shi Xinxin's quiet aloofness, she exuded an extreme sense of noble elegance.
To make it easier for her in the group, Shi Xinxin toned down her usual "don't approach me" aura, appearing more approachable.
Yin Xue greeted the director and others, then walked over to Shi Xinxin.
"It seems I was right. Seeing you sitting here makes me want to get closer."
[Snow baby, what's wrong with you? Ahhh, this awkward pickup line.]
[Snow baby, haha, so it's not just me who's tried this kind of approach before.]
Shi Xinxin paused, a little taken aback.
"Don't you think if a man said that, it would be a bit cheesy? You look very nice today."
"I think so too."
Yin Xue eyed Shi Xinxin's fresh attire and squinted her eyes.
Because she had a smaller suitcase on top of her larger one, she stood next to Shi Xinxin and whispered in her ear.
"You've figured out Fang Qi's scheme too, haven't you?"
Yin Xue smiled, her eyes narrowed.
Shi Xinxin nodded in agreement, a kindred spirit.
She also leaned close to Yin Xue and whispered, "Actually, the game started a long time ago. I bet he'll confiscate our makeup and make us fend for ourselves."
"He'll also make us carry our own luggage, and decide our accommodation through rewards and lucky draws. Do you want to team up with me?"
Shi Xinxin's eyes became more mischievous as she winked at her.
Yin Xue looked at her like this and smiled happily.
"Of course, I'd love to." The two immediately hit it off.
There were a total of eight guests, expecting four teams. The remaining guests included Best Actor Bai Bin, Best Actress Ye Xun, idol singer Long Keyu, powerful vocalist Yang Xi, and trainee twins Gu Qi and Gu Lin.
Every person who entered would pause for a moment, their gaze lingering on the cute yet aloof Shi Xinxin, filled with inquiry and curiosity.
That's right, Xiao Jue was the one who would be left out and form a team of one.
"Sorry, I'm late... What do you mean, you've already formed teams?"
Xiao Jue had thought he would receive special treatment here, but this was it?
"Two people per team, so you'll be on your own. You might have an advantage later for being at a disadvantage now."
Shi Xinxin spoke.
Seeing her, Xiao Jue was immediately annoyed.
"I don't care, then I want to be on a team with Shi Xinxin!"
Xiao Jue shouted at Director Fang.
Everyone looked sympathetically at Yin Xue. No one dared to oppose Xiao Jue.
To their surprise, Yin Xue grabbed Shi Xinxin and, like a protective mother hen, retorted at Xiao Jue.
"Absolutely not, we've already formed our team. Get lost, you third wheel."
Just as Xiao Jue was about to argue back, he heard Director Fang blow his whistle.
