Episode 1 (2)
Some other huge platforms almost ‘collapsed’ due to a sudden surge of traffic to the platform that was airing the show.
On Weibo, instead of people bashing Bai Qi, the people’s attention was on the platform instead.
Finally, the title of the video managed to load.
【Even Zhou Yangfeng and Fu Chunying are on the show?】
【F*ck. I’m a little curious now… how’s their life after the marriage of the Best Actor and Best Actress…  】
【I’m speechless. Qiu Sichuan actually went to get married during the past two years when he kinda fell out of the limelight】
【Huh? Yang Yiru’s in it too? Oh, so she hasn’t been kicked out of the family by her rich mother-in-law yet? 】
【Come out here and face us Bai Qi !!!】
【My mouth is filthy anyway. Let me start the bashing!】
Before the netizens were able to send much of their hate comments, the video cut to the clip where Bai Qi was making breakfast for Qiu Sichuan.
Qiu Sichuan had lost a lot of fans over the years, no doubt about that; however, he still had some fans left. As long as he didn’t become ugly, there would still be fans who wouldn’t have a change in heart.
【Did Bai Qi do research beforehand? He even knows about Qiu Sichuan’s stomach issues】
【See, this is exactly like what I said about him. He’s a scheming bitch! No one in the universe is more schemingly bitchy than him! He’s able to butter up others with just a few words.】
【I’ve got nothing to say. Was this how he tricked Xi-laoshi in the first place?】
【Well… actually… this is a type of skill… 】
【Huh, are you a paid Internet Water Army* of Bai Qi?】
【Don’t talk about it anymore, I feel sick. Ah, so you’ve taken Xi Chengyun’s money to buy Internet Water Armies? 】
*Internet Water Army (水军/网络水军) here refers to a group of Internet ghostwriters paid to post online comments of particular content as requested. In this technique for media manipulation, online Chinese companies employ people to make postings on social media in order to change public opinion.
There were more people bashing Bai Qi than those who were thinking rationally.
Soon, the video showed Bai Qi talking about how ‘I’m only a passerby’.
There were still a lot of people throwing hate at him in the bullet-screen comments.
However, at this point, Qiu Sichuan’s fans were already moved to tears.
【This is the best reassurance to Qiu Sichuan, isn’t it?】
【I don’t need people to remember me, but I hope someone will remember the ‘me’ who was shining on stage. This was something he mentioned in an interview a long time ago】
【Haih. Such a pity. He can’t make a comeback as a male idol since he’s gotten married】
【The cameraman’s expression is my expression right now. I’m astonished. Is Bai Qi really such a sweet person?】
They watched as Xu Yi passed the dishes Bai Qi made around to the rest.
【… Isn’t this just a half-prepared Jianbing? What’s so great about that】
【But, I can’t help myself, I’m drooling】
The audience watched as Bai Qi skillfully settled everyone’s lunch.
Fu Chunying and the rest discussed. “Why don’t we just gather here at Ruyi’s and have a BBQ or something tonight…”
“Yeah, and let’s invite Bai Qi too.”
【Ah. So, they’re craving for more of Bai Qi’s food】
【Bai Qi looked pretty spoiled to me, but he actually knows how to cook. He really exceeded my expectations】
【Where did Bai Qi go now?】
【Tbh, his outfit looks pretty nice =-= He could fit in as an idol if he wanted to】
40 minutes into the broadcast, the audience finally saw the appearance of Xi Chengyun’s car.
They watched as Xi Chengyun got down from the car, and as Bai Qi ran up to him.
A hateful bullet-screen comment popped up: 【Can he just slip and fall down right now? That’ll be perfect】
However, Bai Qi didn’t fall, instead, they saw him successfully running into the arms of Xi Chengyun.
He was wearing a blue down jacket, whereas Xi Chengyun wore a black one.
At the moment when he hugged Xi Chengyun by the waist…
【This looks like a clear sky meeting a gloomy sky】
【?  F*ck. This sounds kinda romantic】
Someone also went nuts in the bullet-screen comment section.
【AHHH stop hugging each other, I’m gonna go crazy! Push him away!】
There were also people here for the tea, smiling as they commented:
【Xi-laoshi’s back. No wonder he abandoned Qiu Sichuan without hesitation. When you look at it this way, Bai Qi is actually a pretty sweet boy?】
【He’s younger than Xi-laoshi, and he looks kinda clingy. He acted completely differently in front of Qiu Sichuan and the rest!】
Xi Chengyun didn’t push Bai Qi away, and this disappointed some of his fans.
After they stayed in each other’s embrace for a bit, they linked their arms and carried on with their walk on the slippery floor.
When they entered the house, Bai Qi sneezed. Xi Chengyun poured a cup of water for him and held it in front of him.
There were instantly angry remarks in the bullet-screen comments section:
【Don’t you have hands! Why can’t you hold your own cup? 】
Some netizens couldn’t stand it anymore：
【They’re a legally married couple. If Xi-laoshi doesn’t do it for him, is he supposed to do it for you instead?】
【I’m not a fan, but I think their relationship is pretty… cute?】
Bai Qi was truly a sweet person.
He put his apron on and rolled up his sleeves. Soon, he served up a few exquisite dishes. Meanwhile, Xi Chengyun could hardly offer any help.
The audience watched as Xi Chengyun couldn’t help but ask, “Is there anything I can help with?”
“Yup,” Bai Qi replied.
He held a slice of stewed beef brisket between his chopsticks and brought it to Xi Chengyun’s mouth. “You can help me taste this.”
Xi Chengyun opened his mouth and ate it.
He lowered his eyes and slowly chewed on the food. Then, he quickly looked back up and said, “Delicious.”
【… I’m gonna go crazy. Why does Bai Qi know how to cook? I can’t take it anymore! My tears are rolling and my drool is dripping】
Food brings people together.
And just as the comments were about to go crazy…
Bai Qi smiled, his lashes fluttering as he looked up toward Xi Chengyun and said in a small voice, “Glad you like it. Me stealing Qiu Sichuan’s meat to feed you did not go in vain.”
【AHHH. So that’s the reason why he was trying to gain Qiu Sichuan’s favor, it was in exchange for the beef brisket to feed Xi-laoshi! 】
【Shit, I can’t stand it anymore. He’s such a sweet boy】
【Qiu Sichuan should be shedding tears when he hears this】
