Chapter 28 Xiaotian, there's something wrong with those headphones.
Chapter 28 Xiaotian, there's something wrong with those headphones.
Li Shen added, "In our world, Honor of Kings has only been around for nine years. You say you've worked so hard to accompany your child's growth, but that's something we can't see! However, we've witnessed the joy you've had accompanying this game as it grows step by step."
[Pfft! As expected of Dog Bro, ruthless!]
[That felt amazing!]
[Haha, Sister Xinpa's image as a pitiful housewife has instantly collapsed!]
[The wet nurse is rampaging through the canyon, while the baby cries for milk in the father's arms!]
[Let's see how you explain this now!]
[Dog Bro specializes in dealing with gifted but strange characters!]
[Her warning about having a baby last time made me angry all day, but after Dog Bro's comment today, I finally feel relieved!]
[Mailin, keep playing the victim?! Haha!]
Mai Lin's chubby face instantly turned bright red, the redness spreading all the way to her ears.
As soon as Li Shen finished speaking, Yoko clapped her hands excitedly: "Haha!"
Huang Shengyi: "Huh?!"
In fact, when Mai Lin said that taking care of her child was hard, Huang Shengyi, as a mother, empathized with her and understood her feelings.
However, when Li Shen exposed her lie, Huang Shengyi's eyes revealed undisguised disgust when she looked at Mai Lin.
Zhang Ruonan, who had been silently observing from the corner, was now so angry that her lips were trembling.
You kept telling me you were so busy, but it turns out you, Merlin, were busy playing games?!
Next, Mailin repeatedly crashed in the canyon, losing all will to fight. Using the excuse of going to the toilet, she ended today's "King of Glory" game.
(In the previous chapter, the following content was added: The female lead, seeing that Merlin had repeatedly criticized the male lead for being bad at games, couldn't stand it and played games for him, but her performance was still worse than the male lead's.)
Bored, Li Shen went to the kitchen to find food and found Tian Xiwei washing vegetables there.
With her small, white hands, she held a small bunch of cilantro, rinsing it under the tap. Then she held the cilantro up to the sunlight, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed as she carefully inspected it before placing it on a plate. She then repeated the same action, holding another bunch of cilantro under the tap once more.
Li Shen turned on another tap, washed a cucumber clean, and said while eating it:
"You're putting on quite a presence; I thought you were pretty impressive!"
"Six years ago, I was just ruthlessly dominating the Rift, okay?"
Li Shen looked at the large headphones on Tian Xiwei's head with a puzzled expression.
Tian Xiwei quickly raised a finger and gently tapped the "volume up" button on her earphones to continue washing the vegetables.
Li Shen stared intently into her eyes: "You said that? Six years ago, I was a single young man, and now I'm a mother of two."
Tian Xiwei's eyes widened slightly, flashing with surprise and doubt, before returning to normal. Her hands, which had paused for a moment, continued washing the vegetables.
Using a tired old joke to probe, Li Shen became even more certain.
Even though his voice wasn't loud, she heard it quite clearly.
Is there a problem?
Li Shen was a little confused before, but now he has doubts.
Li Shen smiled and said, "Tian Xiwei, can I borrow your earphones?"
Just as Li Shen raised his hand, Tian Xiwei instinctively dodged away, her wet hands tightly covering her large headphones, her big eyes blinking frantically.
"Give it to me." Li Shen reached out to grab it.
"No." Tian Xiwei covered it tightly.
"You didn't have any music playing in your headphones, did you?"
"Shh, don't fight over it, here you go."
Li Shen put the headphones on his head, pressed the [Previous Track] button, then the [Next Track] button, and then kept pressing the [Volume Up] button.
Li Shen looked at Tian Xiwei with a puzzled expression: "There aren't any songs playing, so why are you always wearing headphones?"
"Even though your watch has stopped, you still wear it all the time, don't you?"
"This is just for decoration."
"Me too."
Li Shen rested his chin on his hand, staring intently into her eyes, pondering various scenarios of Tian Xiwei wearing headphones.
"Oh, Tian Xiwei~~~ When you don't want to talk, or when you don't want to talk to anyone, you put on your headphones, right? Especially when Mai Lin is around you."
Tian Xiwei's long eyelashes trembled in panic: "Please don't talk nonsense."
"Why don't you download a few songs to your headphones?"
"My phone was confiscated before I even had a chance to download it."
"Why didn't you download it beforehand?"
"Who knew you'd actually dare to come?"
"You know I'm too scared to come, so why are you still calling out to me all over the internet?"
"If I don't give it a try and gamble on this one in ten thousand chance, it will be a regret for the rest of my life. So when I saw that 'Goodbye Lovers' was short of guests at the last minute, no matter what kind of obstacles I faced, I was determined to stand on the podium of the Business School Film Academy."
Li Shen's expression froze.
Tian Xiwei's lips were trembling.
The barrage of comments scrolled by:
[If a top-tier actress participates in a breakup reality show, her management company will definitely do everything in its power to prevent it.]
[Oda is so brave!]
[Even at the cost of personal gain, he's willing to sacrifice his youth for a life without regrets. Mr. Tian is truly awesome!]
[Beautiful, cool, and brave—Li Shen, what makes you so special!]
……
Li Shen: "So, shall we continue with the emotional appeal?"
Tian Xiwei's expression froze for a moment, then her gloomy mood suddenly dissipated, and she blinked her big eyes abruptly: "Please don't talk nonsense."
"If you hate it when I talk, just tell me, and I won't talk to you anymore. And your headphones—"
"I won't turn off the music with my headphones, go ahead and hit me if you dare!" Tian Xiwei raised her chin, displaying the arrogant defiance of a young girl.
Li Shen smiled.
Tian Xiwei smiled too.
Li Shen smiled deeply.
Tian Xiwei smiled brightly.
Li Shen walked downstairs: "I'll go see what they're doing."
"Stop arguing with people."
Li Shen stopped in his tracks, paused for two seconds, and then said, "Okay."
The footsteps on the stairs gradually faded away.
Tian Xiwei turned off the tap, looked out the window, and her eyes sparkled.
The sunlight spilled over into the shimmering, sparkling surface, gradually blurring it.
Huang Shengyi walked into the kitchen, looked at Tian Xiwei whose eyes were red, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Xiao Tian, everyone else is downstairs playing games and chatting, what are you washing vegetables for here?"
"Since I can't cook, I can only help you wash the vegetables."
Huang Shengyi smiled warmly: "Xiaotian, if I were a man, I wouldn't find a reason not to love you."
Tian Xiwei silently lowered her head and washed the vegetables: "There must be some."
Certainly.
……
12 points.
When the guests arrived in the kitchen, they were puzzled by the neatly arranged and clean dishes on the counter.
Huang Shengyi said, "Xiaotian washed the vegetables, everyone, let's cook."
"Where's Oda?"
"I went back to my bedroom to pick at the thorns; I got an eggplant thorn stuck in my finger."
There are four women in total. Two of them are female celebrities from noble backgrounds, so everyone knows they can't be relied on. He Meiyan is a rapper, so asking a rapper to cook seems rather abstract. The only reliable one is Mai Lin, a full-time housewife.
He Meiyan handed the apron to Mai Lin: "I'm not very good at cooking, but now that it's Mai's turn to cook, I'll help her out."
Huang Shengyi also said, "We're counting on Mailin."
Merlin gave an awkward laugh. Who was she supposed to rely on?!
"Zhang Ruonan, the angel of love, I request to use my phone for another hour."
"Let's cook first, then play games."
"No, I want to see the little sweet potato."
Everyone: "..."
Lunch, time to get to work.
Huang Shengyi chops vegetables;
He Meiyan prepares the sauce;
While stirring the egg mixture, Mai Lin opened the small sweet potato;
Several grown men stood in the kitchen, looking at each other in bewilderment.
Tian Xiwei hurried to the kitchen, stood there, bewildered and at a loss.
Li Shen glanced at her: "What are you daydreaming about?"
Tian Xiwei said awkwardly, "I don't know how I can help everyone!"
"Just eat a little more."
"And...and what about you?"
"I?"
At this moment, Merlin suddenly asked, "Does anyone know how this fire is lit? It's different from mine."
She tried to turn the ignition switch, but it wouldn't budge.
"Sigh! Press the button and then rotate." Li Shen sighed deeply. Of all the people in the house, not one of them is reliable when it comes to cooking!
Is cooking a simple home-cooked meal really that difficult for people like you?
Li Shen rolled up his sleeves, stood tall and said, "Those who can't cook shouldn't be making a mess in the kitchen!"
Everyone looked at Li Shen as if they were starving children seeing their mother.
After saying this, Li Shen turned and left the kitchen.
Everyone: "???"
……
Alone in the courtyard, Li Shen sat on the swing, pushed off with his long legs, and swayed back and forth on the swing.
The rain didn't really start, but the horizon in the distance looked gloomy again.
He closed his eyes to rest, his thoughts drifting back to his past life.
Tian Xiwei's words touched him deeply.
Could he also be like Tian Xiwei, disregarding everything and rushing towards even the one in ten thousand chance, just so that he would have no regrets in life?
For a top-tier actress, the implications of her relationship being exposed are self-evident.
She must have been under tremendous pressure from her agency.
What a brave girl.
He thought of a certain top celebrity in his previous life who was known as a sissy, who went public with his relationship at the peak of his career, crippling the Weibo server.
This top celebrity was also jokingly referred to by netizens as the most manly moment of his life.
Tian Xiwei is also this kind of person; she has a sweet and lovely appearance, but a brave and strong heart.
The swing, which had gradually slowed down, started swinging high again.
Li Shen opened his eyes and saw Tian Xiwei holding the swing rope with both small hands, swinging on the rope.
Li Shen asked, "Why are you out here too?"
Seeing a bunch of people just standing there, staring at each other, while He Meiyan was the only one cooking, the production team had no choice but to issue a new task: everyone had to cook a dish, and then, when it was time to eat, they would choose the dish their partner would cook.
Now everyone's gone to their individual suites and doing their own thing.
"Oh." Li Shen nodded. "That makes sense. Otherwise, if He Meiyan had to do all the cooking for lunch by herself, we probably wouldn't be able to eat dinner."
"Li Shen, I have something to tell you."
"you say."
"It seems like nobody's mentioned the bar version of 'Slowly' since the live stream started."
Li Shen was taken aback: "Are you sure?"
"Anyway, I didn't hear it. I asked Zhang Ruonan, and she said that no one mentioned it."
Li Shen understood.
He is the beneficiary of the blunder. Once the truth is revealed by the other guests, the traffic that Li Shen gained will naturally shift to Li Hangliang.
This is a significant loss for Li Shen.
Furthermore, it's hard to say whether the production team will reveal the truth in the final cut!
Nowadays, variety shows are all edited haphazardly. For example, they might put an expression that looks at A when B appears, and so on.
Who knows if the truth will be revealed later for the sake of the show?
Therefore, no guest would risk offending Li Shen by voluntarily revealing the truth.
Moreover, it wasn't just that she offended Li Shen; behind Li Shen stood a top star, Tian Xiwei!
"My turn! My turn! Changing shifts, you swing me!"
Tian Xiwei pulled Li Shen up and sat on the swing herself.
Li Shen gripped the rope, swinging back and forth: "Didn't Li Hangliang expose it himself?"
Tian Xiwei shook her head: "No."
Actually, the one who should be most eager to reveal the truth is Li Hangliang, but he hasn't done so, at least not yet.
Of course, Li Shen should also have disclosed this information proactively.
Li Shen thought that everyone would continue to discuss it and that the blunder would naturally be exposed to the world, but to his surprise, after the broadcast started, everyone avoided talking about it.
Even Yoko, who usually has a big mouth, became unusually tight-lipped the moment the live stream started.
Li Shen sighed deeply: "I still overlooked human nature. How ridiculous."
"So what do you want to do?"
"If no one reveals the truth, then we will definitely take the initiative to reveal it. Whether from the perspective of treating friends or from the perspective of personal integrity, we will do so without a doubt."
Tian Xiwei smiled and said, "I believe you."
"However, since the truth hasn't been revealed immediately and we've already come this far, let's let the dust settle a bit more."
Tian Xiwei looked at him blankly: "What do you mean?"
Li Shen: "Here, in this world, I am isolated and helpless, all alone. Apart from you, I have no one I can truly trust unconditionally."
So let time prove one thing right.
Tian Xiwei blinked her big eyes and gradually understood something.
Li Shen said, "Tian Xiwei, you must remember this lesson: sometimes, it's better to let things play out first; the outcome might be different."
"Tch! Don't you want to copy Yoko?"
The live stream chat was filled with confusion:
[What's the truth?]
[What are you verifying?]
[Why can't I understand him, yet it feels like he's playing a game of chess?]
……
Are there really friends in this world who would risk their lives for you?
In his past life, Li Shen met many true friends at the dinner table, but when he encountered difficulties, all his friends became strangers who dared not show their faces.
For example, he was blacklisted because he offended a famous director. At that time, no one helped him or spoke up for him. In fact, many people in the entertainment industry were eager to break off their relationships with him.
Since then, his concept of friendship has faded.
Therefore, in this life, during the two days since he transmigrated, even when facing Li Hangliang, he did not show excessive enthusiasm and always maintained a rational distance.
Is Li Hangliang the friend I can entrust my back to?
Tian Xiwei suddenly became wary: "But what if, in a few days, someone else exposes the truth first, especially if Li Hangliang takes the initiative to expose the truth? Then you'll be in a passive position, and you'll be branded as someone who craves fame! You might even be vilified by the entire internet!"
"Ha, do I care about being hacked?"
"You... then what do you care about?"
"I only care about whether there can be even one person in this hypocritical world whom I can befriend for a lifetime."
Having one true friend is far more important than receiving a million insults. The former will stay with me for life; the latter will eventually be trampled under my feet.
Tian Xiwei closed her eyes, her pretty face bathed in the post-rain sun, and meditated, "You're so frivolous, don't just talk the talk but walk the walk!"
Squeak, squeak~~~
The swing started swinging again.
Tian Xiwei flew and flew on the swing.
Two tender, white legs swung playfully.
As Li Shen was lost in thought, Liang Song walked toward him with a sullen face, while He Meiyan chased after him.
Oh no.
This couple on opposite sides of the street are arguing again!
This couple is different from the Mai Lin/Li Hangliang couple; this couple is the type who engage in crazy verbal battles.
When the couple starts arguing, neither of them will give in, and they both shout louder than the other.
Both of them are quick-witted, speak at an extremely fast pace, use multiple languages, and have a very high density of language!
Once these two start arguing, everyone else can only watch from the sidelines; you can't even get a chance to intervene.
Moreover, these two argue more frequently than Li Hangliang and Mai Lin.
The reason why Merlin is so popular online, but these two are relatively unknown, is because Merlin is hated, and watching these two argue is just a source of amusement.
Seeing the couple heading this way, Li Shen felt a headache coming on.
He promised Tian Xiwei he wouldn't argue with people, and although he regretted it afterward, he should at least stick to it for one day.
"Oh no, I don't like bananas. You never remember what I really like."
Tian Xiwei, who was enjoying the sunshine on her face with her eyes closed, suddenly opened them and saw Liang Song and He Meiyan walking over while arguing.
Oh my god, it's noisy again!
So annoying!
Thank goodness I had headphones!
As long as I put on my headphones, I can pretend I didn't hear anything. I don't need to mediate, I don't need to put on a show, and no one will ask me to judge.
Away from troubles, detached from worldly affairs, boundless joy, and, if you want to gossip, you can even secretly enjoy it.
whee!
As usual, when Tian Xiwei noticed that something was wrong with the guest, she immediately reached for the large headphones hanging around her neck with both hands.
I suddenly felt a strange sensation in my neck.
Immediately afterwards, her two little hands reached for her neck, but grasped at nothing.
She looked down.
Ok?
Where are the headphones?
When he looked up, Liang Song and He Meiyan, a married couple, had already arrived.
He Meiyan: "Let's let Xiao Tian be the judge!"
Tian Xiwei frowned. Why not let Li Shen judge the matter?
She turned to look at Li Shen behind her.
Li Shen, wearing large headphones, stood with his back to her, facing the blazing sun beyond the courtyard wall, nodding rhythmically as he hummed a song, "Lately I've been so annoyed, so annoyed, so annoyed..."
Tian Xiwei: "..."
The opposing couple walked up to her, unleashed a barrage of attacks, and then looked at Tian Xiwei.
"Xiaotian, tell me, who's right between us?"
Tian Xiwei hesitated, "This..."
Li Shen sang: "I'm not annoyed, I'm not annoyed, you're more annoyed than me..."
"Xiao Tian, do you think Liang Song went too far?"
Tian Xiwei: "Uh..."
Li Shen: "I'm not annoyed, not annoyed..."
Liang Song: "Xiao Tian, just criticize her objectively and rationally from a fair perspective."
Tian Xiwei: "Even an upright official can't settle family disputes~~~ Meiyan, don't cry!"
Li Shen: "You're more annoying than me, more annoying than me..."
Tian Xiwei: "Li Shen!! Ah!!!!"
