CHAPTER 567: 386.

After the initial novelty and shock, Guan Yongyi quickly calmed down in just a few minutes.

Once they finished their wash-ups, the two nestled on the living room sofa, eating fresh seasonal fruits, with the latest episode of a popular variety show playing in front of them.

No one asked the question.

The unspoken question.

—Where did Lu Jincheng go tonight?

Both Zhou Sinin and Guan Yongyi had actually secretly chatted with him.

Tonight, he wouldn’t be coming back.

He would be with the staff under him.

Watching the latest episode of "Goddess 101," Mou Keyan’s journey to promotion.

...

In fact, since the broadcast of "Goddess 101," Mou Keyan’s popularity has consistently stayed high.

But being able to participate in this show means that contestants also have their unique skills; the advantage of having initial media presence will inevitably be balanced out later.

Therefore, Mou Keyan is not 100% confident in securing the final debut position.

Because in such a program aimed at a general audience, outstanding talent is only a small part of the popularity.

To put it bluntly, the real competition in a live variety show is the all-encompassing personal charm.

Some people are born to live under the spotlight; even if they have no talent, they remain the absolute protagonist.

Mou Keyan has enough buzz and solid talent, but the initial surprise she brought had its limits.

Fun games, team pk, interactive displays...

The organizers designed different segments so that through one episode after another, they can better showcase the contestants’ comprehensive qualities.

And tonight’s episode is crucial for "Goddess 101" contestants.

It not only determines the final popularity before online voting, but the program itself has quite interesting segments.

"Do you think Mou Keyan can debut?"

Zhou Sinin crossed her legs, her whole body sunk into the soft sofa.

Soft light reflected on the girl’s bare-faced profile, one leg rested on the armrest, while the other flip-flop lightly slapped her foot.

"Before, I thought she was stable, but now... it’s hard to say."

The short-haired girl beside her also remained in an equally relaxed posture.

The curves of her long legs were elegantly crossed over the cushion, the small foot which was suspended occasionally swung gently with an enticing upward arc at the big toe.

A slender, smooth stretch extending into the hem of her clothes, revealing a glimpse of the matching lingerie edge on her waist.

Pure white, seemingly with lace edges.

Snow-white smooth calves, delicate and cute jade-like feet, even painted with a subtle pale pink nail polish.

"Yes, she could make it into the top five in earlier episodes, now she can barely reach eighth place..."

Zhou Sinin giggled and nodded in agreement.

Her loose hair shook along, like a shiny brown waterfall.

"Ah, I think she’s just been a streamer for too long, you understand? She’s got an idol’s burden, unlike those rookies who come off as genuine."

"Yes, yes, that’s how I feel too, not grounded."

After all, they’re childhood friends.

Even if they don’t talk emotions, they still have a considerable level of tacit understanding when gossiping about others.

"This is a live variety show after all! No so many tricks, everyone likes people who are a bit more real. In the livestream room, fans might cheer for you, but stepping out isn’t the same."

"Without a princess’s fate, she got a princess’s illness."

Guan Yongyi sharply commented.

"This episode... I think she will definitely suffer big losses."

"Why?"

Guan Yongyi stretched her arm, grabbing a handful of potato chips from the coffee table, munching them.

This episode features an unprecedented truth-telling segment.

"Look at this mechanism and topic!—Have you ever had a time when love was impossible? If so, please describe such a scene."

The TV screen displayed a long paragraph of text.

Zhou Sinin straightened up, reading with full concentration, and couldn’t help but speak in a slightly excited tone at the end.

"Could she possibly admit to having such moments in front of others? So many people regard her as Fairy Miao, the Douyu goddess!"

If her image collapses, how will she continue to do livestreams in the future?"

"Moreover, this segment clearly favors whoever speaks with sincerity to win over the audience."

"I just don’t believe she can say anything meaningful."

"Yes, neither do I."

Guan Yongyi pursed her lips, indicating agreement.

...

Such a segment indeed posed a huge challenge to "Goddess 101" contestants.

Any girl who could come to compete is seldom not a proud beauty, having varying degrees of romantic experiences.

Those with excellent self-conditions find it easy to have mutual pursuits and willingness in love affairs.

What does love that’s impossible mean?

This is rare.

A relatively rare experience.

Therefore, when the contestants officially organized their thoughts and chatted like sisters by the fireplace in the Goddess Castle’s open space, viewers paid 100% attention.

Curiosity.

They chatted freely, without order, from the youngest Sun Xin naturally leading the topic of impossible love.

"Me... I recall back to junior high, he was the best student in our class."

Sun Xin had a typical baby face, extremely cute when she smiles.

"He was tall, even in school uniform he looked so upright, often sitting by the window. The most heart-stirring moment was when the ten o’clock sunlight just hit his face..."

"..."

"Unfortunately, I never had the courage to say a single ’I like you’ to him."
