âLastly, letâs introduce our new guest for this episode.â With the new guests to substitute the pregnant couple, the production team decided against adding additional special guests to this episode to avoid a backlash from the audience. Thus, the only new faces in this episode were the two people here to substitute the original guests who went on pregnancy leave.
âZhou Yuanqi, Shao Tingting,â the production team announced.
Zhou Yuanqi had his hair dyed blonde and was dressed head-to-toe in branded items. He had the youthfulness of a young man, and he even looked a little stuck up.
ăBu Xiao: He isnât as snobby as meă
On the other hand, Shao Tingting was a lot more toned down. Her clothes werenât recognizably branded, and she had her hair tied up. Plus, she looked really cute.
She looked a little constipated and uncomfortable with the camera around.
She greeted the audience. âApologies, Iâm a commoner and Iâm not part of the entertainment industry. Thatâs why Iâm⊠not so at ease.â After saying that, she looked at Bai Qi; it was clear that she was trying to find solace in someone who isnât part of the entertainment industry.
ăLol. Sister, stop looking at Bai Qi. Qi Qi is a beast when the camera is aroundă
âIâll be in your care,â Shao Tingting said.
Bai Qi didnât think that he would become a senior. He politely asked, âHow long have you guys been married?â
âThree days,â Shao Tingting said.
Amazing!
It was even shorter than Xi-laoshi and Bai Qiâs marriage.
The team waited for them to greet each other before promptly passing each couple the first map.
The lines on the map were hand drawn and very vague, and this was a huge test towards the guestsâ sense of direction. Not to forget⊠their ability to ask for directions.
Zhou Yuanqi furrowed his brows as soon as he received the map.
However, he soon disregarded the map and gave a relaxing smile. The entertainment company he signed with had already set a persona for him on this show.
His employers had told him, âIâm sure you know Bai Qi, right? Many people were angry over his marriage to Xi Chengyun. Yet, in the end, because of his good attitude, the couple emerged victorious. Not only did they stay together, they also managed to create a persona for themselves on the show. Thereâs no way the show didnât give them a script to follow. Once you are on set, youâll just need to stick to a characterâŠâ
The character of an omnipotent second-generation rich kid.
Someone who knew everything.
He needed to be more knowledgeable than Bai Qi to be more outstanding than him.
The company thought, âThereâs no way a rich kid will know less than an average joe, right?â
Zhou Yuanqi paid no attention to Bai Qi. After all, he only cared about himself.
This wouldnât be an issue anywayâŠ
Since one of the major sponsors of the show was his father.
And he was the reason why this episode was being filmed overseas. He was familiar with this country, and thus was able to accentuate his talents.
Zhou Yuanqi turned around and took the initiative to ask Zhou Yanfeng, âDo you⊠want to joinâŠâ Us.
Before he managed to finish his sentence, he heard Zhou Yanfeng pleading with Bai Qi, âQi Qi, save us! Can we team up?â
He didnât even have a chance to suggest what he wanted to do or how he could help.
The award-winning actress, Fu Chunying, nodded in agreement. âOh, true that. If Zhou-laoshi and I were left to our own devices, wouldnât we end up going round in circles at the starting line? Like when we were rowing the boat at the sea?â
Zhou Yanfeng had learned from his mistakes.
Since Xi-laoshi was obedient towards Bai Qi, if they needed a favor from him, they learnt to approach Bai Qi first.
As long as Bai Qi nodded, Xi-laoshi definitely wouldnât have any objections.
Suddenly, Qiu Sichuan also asked, âQi Qi, shall we team up?â
Zhou Yuanqi hadnât expected Bai Qi to be so popular. How should he stay in character under these circumstances?
He frowned and decided to take matters into his own hands.
A Stretch Lincoln Limousine slowly approached them, and this caught the attention of all the guests.
âDoes this car belong to the production team?â
âNo ideaâŠâ
Zhou Yuanqi calmly explained, âThis is my car. I even have a driver in the car⊠And the driver is a local.â
ăDoes this person have the script? If not, how could he have prepared a car beforehand?ă
ăHe doesnât fit in well with the entire team, heâs sticking out like a sore thumbă
The bullet comments flooded the screen.
âOh!â The guests emphasized the syllable in unison, which caused the sound to echo hollowly.
So, and?
Zhou Yanfeng waited, but he got no further response.
Was he not being obvious enough?
He had a car, and there was a local driver in the car. Couldnât the guests get that if they were to join him, they would have a relaxing journey ahead?
Why is no one shouting to join him?
Zhou Yanfeng continued his attempt to convince Bai Qi, âLetâs go, letâs go. Why donât we work together? If we get any prizes, weâll split half of it with you and Xi-laoshiâŠâ
Zhou Yuanqi was speechless.
This was the persona given to Bai Qi, and his company wanted him to act similarly?
The other guests are even asking to pay him âprotection feesâ?
