CHAPTER 83: CHAPTER 83: LITTLE SWEET

It was obvious to anyone that the intention to refuse was clear, but Wei Yaoyao wasn’t like anyone else and insisted on pulling her down.

Yu Xia made a face as though she wanted to bid farewell to the world immediately, standing among a bunch of colorful Ultramen and dared not move.

"Jump, Yu Xia! Don’t you feel happy?!"

Yu Xia: "...Of course I’m happy, so happy I could fly up to the sky."

As soon as she finished speaking, someone poked her from behind.

She turned around and happened to align with Xie Qingci’s monster head.

"Little Sweet, what are you doing?"

Xie Qingci’s smile cracked midway.

Yu Xia found some joy in it, pulled in Shu Ran and the others, then called the remaining dozens of young guys, completely occupying the entire lawn, dancing charming square dances together.

Unexpectedly, the skills she thought would take decades to touch were now learned in her twenties. Life is indeed unpredictable, she thought to herself wiping a tear in her heart.

After enduring the toughest few minutes, the cursed organization of big red peony Ultramen finally stopped their square dancing and gradually exited.

Yu Xia returned to her seat like someone who survived a disaster, taking paper towels to wipe her tears.

Everything today was really testing the durability of her eyes, she should have brought a bottle of eye drops.

After the square dance group performed, the second team was a retro disco version.

This time it was much more normal, with Song Xi involved, wearing golden rim glasses and a floral shirt, dancing really well.

She thought this was the first step into a proper show, but unexpectedly it was the only decent performance.

The following folk song version and Sichuan dialect dubbing version started to walk the crazy route again.

Supermen wearing their underpants outside sang folk songs and even beat waist drums.

Shoddily dressed plastic mermen were dragged in by carts, singing "exquisite" voices in Sichuan dialect.

Before singing, they even exchanged a couple of sentences in Sichuan dialect.

"Is everything okay? I’m about to unleash my ultimate move."

"Are you a little pest or what? Posture! Show our mermen posture!"

"Hey blockhead, stop talking to me, lowering my mermen’s level."

Yu Xia couldn’t handle it after hearing just two sentences, wiping tears with paper towels while staring at Wei Yaoyao’s plastic fish tail.

If she wasn’t mistaken, it should be a fish tail skirt made of stacked pink garbage bags, really...exuding coarseness and poverty everywhere.

Wei Yaoyao was a bundle of fun; whenever there was comedy, you could count him in. His spirited singing of the theme song in Sichuan dialect filled the base with his loud voice and everyone’s laughter.

Too talented, Yu Xia thought she was laughing too much, her face almost cracking, pinching her cheeks to relieve the soreness.

The young guys were also laughing until they rolled on the ground, the entire lawn wasn’t enough for their rolling. Meanwhile, the livestream comments filled with "hahaha" didn’t stop since the Ultramen appeared.

[I really can’t laugh anymore, let my dog bark twice for everyone]

[Little! Sweet! Xie Qingci, how could you be this sweet?!]

[Everyone has the same hobby, people with no expression must get some expression out haha, Xie Qingci’s defiant look is hilarious]

[Little Sweet~ Little Sweet~]

[Netizens have all kinds of funny emojis, these young guys can play all kinds of characters]

[Already saved screenshots, deal with it yourselves haha]

[How much for this merman by the pound? Just as well buy him back to recycle the garbage bags]

[Wei Yaoyao, don’t you think you’re too versatile? No matter where, you can always jump in/Don’t know what else to say but fold my hands.jpg]

[Wuwuwu I just love those funny, witty ones, I’m going to support Yaoyao!]

[Cracking up, Pei Lu that little green tea seems so out of place here, feels like a throwback to a variety show, Shu Ran sitting here can still have a second person with this persona]

[I can laugh really well, let me try–gagagagaga breaking the sky]

The theme song adaptation performance wasn’t completely over yet, but #Limited Youth Theme Song Adaptation# already shot up to the third place on trending.

Followed by a few less popular tags—

#Xie Qingci Little Sweet#

#Defeat the floral shorts Ultramen#

#Group madness iconic scenes#

There were too many brilliant clips, attracting many bored surfing netizens.

Again, tens of thousands of viewers poured into the livestream room, program comments surged by tens of thousands.

While the young guys were still happily singing and dancing, the program’s second wave since airing had arrived, bringing about another reshuffle in the contestants’ individual popularity.

This was the last collective carnival, next week, the advancement spots would be announced, and almost half of the people would leave here.

...

Yu Xia was still laughing when she left the base, because she had makeup on, she had to be extra careful when wiping her tears.

Mei opened the car door for her, she tilted her head using the corner of the paper towel to wipe the corner of her eye, the tears soaked up, instantly moistening a small piece of dry tissue.

Mei: "...Tears flooding back into the heart, bitter like eating Coptis?"

"?" Yu Xia glanced at her, "What are you saying?"

"Nothing, nothing," Mei got in the car too, sitting opposite Yu Xia, her mouth couldn’t stop as she started summarizing today’s online observations, "The program team got it right this time, today’s show has the highest breakout index ever, beating even the debut stage."

Yu Xia responded with a "Hmm."

Mei continued, "The only name appearing on the trending tags this time was Xie Qingci. This wave earned him another point, his popularity is sure to soar."

Kidding, he has Changhui supporting him, it’s quite normal.

Yu Xia didn’t take it seriously, she felt it was all within her expectations.

But then Mei muttered another sentence.

"Seems like his solo debut as the central figure is likely, and judging from this, it’s a sign of top trend status just like Li Yang before."

Like Li Yang.

This brought some comparison, what she thought previously was just that he’d have a better starting point in the entertainment industry, not come in quietly.

But indeed she never seriously thought about how great he could be.

Yes, he’s backed by Changhui Entertainment, although Changhui hasn’t trained idols yet, their goal is certainly not ordinary boy bands, but Li Yang and Su Yan level top trend.

Top trend indeed.

In a short time, acquiring millions of fans, plenty of girlfriend fans, capital support, debut with access to all sorts of high-end resources.

Compared with her steady steps, the route Xie Qingci would start on will be splendidly decorated, after debut their identities will not be mentor and contestant, nor former boyfriend and girlfriend.

But a hot trending idol and a second-tier actress.

Yu Xia was tormented by this shift in identity for two hours, frowning with an unpleasant expression, making Mei hesitant to speak much during the ride home.

After returning home, she sat blankly in the living room for a long time, feeling complicated.

Identity switch means their situation has reversed.

Breaking up for her reasons before, later it might be because of the same reason on Xie Qingci that they drift apart.

After all, for an artist on the rise, love and career, the relationship between the two can be conflicting.
