Chapter 182: Rumors Unveiled

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“We just received a notification from the crew that we’re allowing some time for the audience to ask questions. So, as our ‘Truth or Dare’ segment has come to an end, is there anything you folks watching would like to ask us?” Lu Shi asked.

[Who does Xia Xin like?]

[Who is Zhou Lian’s love interest?]

[Who is Lu Shi attracted to?]

The audience was nothing if not direct. But these weren’t the kind of questions the director had in mind. He was aiming for something a little less straightforward, a question that left room for the imagination.

The director signaled for a chair to be brought over, and he took a seat himself. “Hello everyone, I’m the director of this show. We’ve decided to include a Q&A segment due to popular demand. But the number of questions flooding in is overwhelming, so we’re going to randomly select ten lucky viewers to connect with us. Our guests will answer your questions.”

[Wow, the director has finally done something! Letting everyone answer is a great move. I want to ask Jing MO!]

[Yes, yes, yes! Pick me, pick me. I have a question for Jing Mo.]

“I understand you all are eager,” the director continued. “Let’s first wrap up the

‘Dare’ portion of our game, and then we’ll proceed to the Q&A.”

[Why would the director do this? Can’t he wait till this round is over to announce that?] [I was so looking forward to this.]

[This is so annoying.]

The director’s announcement lured even more people into the livestream. Everyone was excited about the opportunity to connect with their favorite artists.

“As we’re done with ‘Truth,’ let’s move on to ‘Dare.’ I believe Jing MO, Xu Zhi, and Tian Mei were the ones who got the long sticks, right? So, let’s start with Xu Zhi. What would you all like him to do?” The director looked towards the guests.

“Let’s have Xu Zhi dance,” suggested Lu Shi.

Born into affluence, Lu Shi had received a modern education, of which dance was an integral part. Xu Zhi, known for his singing and acting skills, surely couldn’t dance. This was Lu Shi’s chance to demonstrate his superiority to Xia Xin.

However, Xu Zhi’s expression was one of discomfort. It wasn’t because he couldn’t dance, but because of a past foot injury that prevented him from engaging in strenuous physical activity for long periods.

“You can’t dance?” Lu Shi questioned.

[What is Lu Shi thinking? Everyone knows Xu Zhi had a foot injury. What if he gets hurt again?]

[Lu Shi is clearly targeting Xu Zhi.]

[I know right. He didn’t dare to do it to Jing MO so he targeted Xu Zhi. He’s just disgusting.]

[Lu Shi didn’t mean it. He doesn’t know about the injury!]

[Exactly, Lu Shi is a genuinely good guy. He wouldn’t do this if he knew.]

Lu Shi’s fans kept defending Lu Shi without pause. On the other hand, Xu Zhi was visibly troubled, unsure of how to bring up his past injury without losing face.

“I remember that Xu Zhi had a foot injury,” said Xia Xin.

Xu Zhi’s face lit up. “You remember?”

“Of course. You were almost forced to take a semester off, weren’t you?” Xia Xin remarked.

Lu Shi’s eyes narrowed at the evident rapport between Xu Zhi and Xia Xin, clearly not pleased.

‘Xu Zhi was just an emerging new artist, and compared to someone who had been in the entertainment industry for many years like me, he was still quite inexperienced. Could it be that Xia Xin has a liking for someone like Xu Zhi?’ Lu Shi pondered.

“Xu Zhi’s injury is no secret. A variety show once pushed him into dancing for their opener, and he had to take a six-month break before making his comeback,” Zhou Lian chimed in.

“Really? Xu Zhi, are you alright?” Tian Mei rushed over, concern filling her features.

“I’m fine, it happened years ago,” Xu Zhi replied, smiling.

“Must have been painful, right? What happened to you?” Tian Mei persisted.

Xu Zhi fell silent, reluctant to revisit that part of his history.

“Xu Zhi,” Tian Mei pressed.

Xia Xin couldn’t help but chuckle. It wasn’t that she lacked empathy. It was just that the incident was so notorious, that anyone who mentioned Xu Zhi would instantly recall that scandalous rumor..
