Chapter 66: The Great Test of Tacit Understanding
The audience’s eyes were sharp. Lin Leyang had just revealed a winning expression and
some had noticed this. A netizen posted, “What’s the matter with this Lin Leyang? He
seems to really know god Ji? Is he really god Ji’s hardcore fan?”
Lin Leyang possessed a delicate and pretty appearance, paired with a cheerful smile.
When he first debuted, Ji Mian had supported him, and he attracted many fans. But his
popularity later declined when he quarreled with Miao Muqing and Xiao Jiashu. Then, the
poll for “Love Chaser” was organized. Although purchasing water armies eventually won the
final victory, he was still scolded by Xiao Jiashu’s fans.
After this, he had quieted down, obediently preparing for his new role without coming up
with any schemes. However, in the hearts of the audience, his image had already been set.
Whenever his name is mentioned, a few derogatory words would occasionally pop up,
such as: scheming man, back stabber, and so on.
An audience member replied strangely, “He used to be god Ji’s assistant, of course
there’d be news of god Ji on his weibo. But how is he now a hardcore fan? There must be
a limit to enthusiasm!”
“He used to be god Ji’s assistant? No wonder god Ji would sign him.”
“God Ji supported him very much. He was able to act in ‘The Apostle’ as soon as he
debuted, but he didn’t know how to cherish it. Behind everyone’s backs, he blackened this,
blackened that, and even cut off Xiao Jiashu’s opportunities. If it wasn’t because of that shit
voting poll, the role of the male lead in ‘Love Chaser’ would’ve definitely gone to Little
Lin Leyang was wronged. The male lead role in ‘Love Chaser’ had originally belonged to
him, but how did it change to him robbing Xiao Jiashu? He could only be faulted for having
just debuted, and hadn’t yet understood the intrigue within the entertainment circle. So he
could only suffer this foolish loss. It was only at this moment that he came to his
senses——Ji-ge was right. He actually didn’t have to do anything at all. Film well, live well,
Ji-ge would help him arrange everything.
But now, it was too late to say anything. He looked at Ji-ge, then looked at the question
board in his hands, feeling bitter in his heart, yet also full of expectation. He’s the person
who knows Ji-ge best. He hoped that this little game would awaken some of the good
memories of the two of them in Ji-ge’s heart.
The host asked Ji Mian to adjust his sitting posture so as to not accidentally reveal the
answer. After this, he smiled and said, “Question one, what’s Teacher Ji’s favorite color?”
Xiao Jiashu and Lin Leyang both lowered their heads to write their answers, while the
netizens used the barrage to participate amongst themselves. While at the same time, in
order to increase the entertainment effect, the director had the barrage transferred to the
big screen behind the guests.
The host explained, “Ah, many netizens have given their answers. According to my
statistics, the most people answered black, followed by gray, and then white. It seems that
to your idol, you all are very……” He turned his head to look at Ji Mian’s answer board, and
he suddenly covered his mouth and laughed, “Aiya, this is embarrassing!”
Ji Mian had finished writing, and he glanced at Xiao Jiashu with a strange look.
Lin Leyang squeezed the board, his heart full of confidence.
“Please show your question boards. Afterwards, we will look at the correct answer from
Teacher Ji. The time has come to test your understanding.” As soon as the host’s voice fell,
Xiao Jiashu and Lin Leyang both showed their question boards at the same time, then they
looked towards each other.
Xiao Jiashu wrote “royal blue” and Lin Leyang wrote “black, gray, and white.” The two’s
answers were completely different, while their expressions were also completely different.
One appeared relaxed and happy, seeming as if he were playing; one was full of self
The netizen’s messages appeared on the big screen like raindrops. They said that Lin
Leyang was opportunistic and had actually written down all 3 answers that were most likely
to be correct! Of course, any comments that were trying to attack him were blocked by the
director in order to avoid any adverse effects.
The audience members present at the scene also shouted aloud their conjectures. Most
people thought it was black, since god Ji liked to wear black clothes the most. He had once
participated in a fashion show and the host had gone to see his dressing room. The
clothes inside were all arranged according to their color. Black, white, and gray had
occupied a full three walls, leaving brightly colored clothes pitifully few. Using this, it could
be seen that his favorite color was either black, gray, or white.
The host asked Ji Mian to cover his question board well, so as not to be photographed by
the camera. After this, he asked the two fresh little meats, “Why did you two write these
Lin Leyang smiled and said, “I used to be Ji-ge’s life assistant. If I asked him to choose
between a colorful shirt and a white shirt, he would definitely choose white. If I let him
choose between a white shirt and a gray shirt, he would definitely choose gray. If I let him
choose between a gray shirt and a black shirt, he would definitely choose black. So, his
favorite colors are black, gray, and white. Black is his favorite, followed by gray, then
followed by white.”
The host laughed without saying a word, but the audience applauded, thinking he was
The online audience sent out messages one after another, sighing, “Worthy of being god
Ji’s assistant. He has such a detailed understanding of god Ji’s life. I also want to pick out
clothes for god Ji!”
“Xiao Jiashu, why did you write royal blue?” The host continued to ask.
Xiao Jiashu glanced at Lin Leyang with surprise, and then emphasized in a ‘what a
coincidence’ manner, “First of all, I want to declare that I’ve also been Ji-ge’s assistant,”
“Pft! I can’t take it anymore! This is fighting for favor, right? This definitely is fighting for
favor.” The online audience laughed, and the barrage flew all over the place. The in-person
audience applauded and laughed, the atmosphere was very joyful.
The host covered his face in order not to laugh out loud. What’s this comparison? You, a
rich second generation, seem to be really proud of becoming a celebrity’s assistant? No,
maybe in his heart, this was a very glorious thing worthy of showing off, right? It seems he
really is a hardcore fan!
Ji Mian leaned on the back of his chair, and an unprecedentedly bright smile appeared in
front of the audience. He really had to commend Xiao Jiashu, how could he be so naive?
In the past, Ji Mian had always been very calm and introverted. Most of his expressions
were gentle and mild, and he rarely showed such a pure smile. The audiences, who were
watching on TV or through the internet, saw his reaction and their good impression of Xiao
Jiashu suddenly increased.
“The Little Sapling was too pure, right? He, a rich second generation with a prominent
family background, was actually willing to be god Ji’s assistant and even proudly declared
this to the public. This is true love ah! Although his answer was wrong, he really cannot be
blamed. Lin Leyang was god Ji’s assistant for half a year, how long was he?”
“You’re right, he can’t be blamed. In the future, he can learn more about god Ji’s good
The very inclusive barrage once again made the host laugh. Ji Mian helped explain, “Xiao
Jiashu was my assistant for three days, the time was not long.”
“Yes, it was because I started filming later.” Xiao Jiashu concealed those
misunderstandings and continued, “I think Ji-ge’s favorite color should be royal blue. Most
of his clothes are black, white, and gray, but I found that most of the accessories he wears
are generally royal blue. Such as cufflinks, tie clips, scarves, socks, belts, watches, rings,
phones, phone cases, and so on.”
As he spoke, the host was observing Ji Mian’s accessories, and the cameraman also
zoomed in and gave a few close-ups.
Ji Mian raised his hands cooperatively, showing off his royal blue cufflinks, royal blue
phone, royal blue mechanical watch…… Sure enough, all the exquisite small accessories
were royal blue, one wouldn’t notice without careful observation.
The in-person audience below the stage was in an uproar, while the online audience was
as quiet as a chicken.
Lin Leyang’s confident expression was gradually replaced with embarrassment, then his
expression became nervous again.
Ji Mian flipped over his question board with a low laugh, two words were written on
“Damn! It actually turned out to be royal blue. How attentive does one have to be in order to
discover these details? This is absolutely true love!” The barrage of netizens flooded in. Of
course, there were people who gave the correct answer, but they couldn’t say their reason.
It was obvious that they had randomly guessed.
Lin Leyang’s face paled for a moment and he quickly adjusted his expression. But
everyone could tell that his smile became very reluctant and his eyes were faintly shining,
as if he were about to cry.
“Being god Ji’s assistant for more than half a year, was he attentive at all? The so-called
worship and admiration were both fake, right? He couldn’t even discover such obvious
details!” Such messages came out, but were all blocked by the director. But even without
blocking, Lin Leyang could imagine how others were ridiculing him.
Xiao Jiashu was not at all complacent and said, “It really turned out to be royal blue, I
If one didn’t sincerely try to understand god Ji, who could randomly guess correctly? Based
on this alone, the netizens’ favorability for him has risen steadily; On the other hand, they
had previously felt that Lin Leyang was not worthy of being signed under god Ji and
occupying god Ji’s resources. Now, this sentiment has become stronger.
The host recorded down a point for Xiao Jiashu and then asked the second question,
“What’s Teacher Ji’s favorite food?”
Lin Leyang and Xiao Jiashu lowered their heads to write, while the netizens also sent out
their responses. The answer was very unified——steak. Because every time god Ji posted
a food photo on weibo, it would be steak. He would also cook at home himself
occasionally, but the dishes were all steak, besides differing sauces, there would be
The host looked at Ji Mian’s answer board and smiled mysteriously.
The audience immediately noticed his strangeness and said nervously, “I didn’t get it wrong
again, right? Was I a fan of a fake god Ji?”
“It’s not that you were a fan of a fake god Ji, but because god Ji never talks about his
personal affairs in front of the media. This is the first time and worth remembering! This
variety show is so well done, letting us get closer to god Ji. Having said this, just what are
Lin Leyang and Xiao Jiashu’s answers? I’m so curious!”
“Okay, time is up. Please show your question boards.” The host quickly announced their
answers. Xiao Jiashu wrote “shrimp” and Lin Leyang wrote “steak and crab buns.” But this
time, Lin Leyang did not show a confident expression, on the other contrary, he seemed
Ji Mian deeply glanced at Xiao Jiashu, then gripped his question board.
