Chapter 128

Chapter 128

Zhong Mei knew that her big opportunity to enter the Entertainment Industry was approaching, so she immediately reached out and grabbed Men Jie repeatedly, trying to pull him back to the ground before he flew up into the sky.

Liu Yide saw this scene and mocked them in his heart for a moment before quickly rushing towards the shelter, leaving the two behind.

However, he also had a difficult time on his way, almost being blown away by the wind several times.

But in the end, Liu Yide still managed to reach the entrance, and after entering, he tightly shut the door with a loud "bang."

In the midst of the storm, only Men Jie flying in the air and Zhong Mei, who was desperately holding onto him, were left.

"Jie Ge! I won't give up on you!"

Zhong Mei used all her strength to grab Men Jie's sleeve and shouted loudly.

The wind and snow were getting heavier, showing a tendency to swallow them whole. Fortunately, Men Jie's size was large enough, so there was no immediate danger for the moment.

Seeing that Zhong Mei had not given up on him, Men Jie was slightly touched by this woman.

But after only a brief moment of emotion, Men Jie held onto Zhong Mei's hand tightly, as if he was determined to drag someone down with him if he were to die.

Perhaps because the heavens didn't want to take this disappointing Men Jie, the raging wind actually stopped for a moment.

Seizing the opportunity, Men Jie's feet finally touched the ground, and with Zhong Mei's support, the two quickly ran towards the shelter.

They stumbled into the shelter just before the storm began to rage again.

"Oh, Jie Ge, don't close the door, I'm still outside!"

To her surprise, the moment before Zhong Mei entered, Men Jie right in front of her closed the door, completely ignoring the fact that she was still behind him.

"Oh, I forgot."

At that moment, Men Jie's mind was filled with the desire to escape from the storm, having completely forgotten about Zhong Mei, who had risked her life to save him.

Zhong Mei's eyes were filled with disappointment, but there was no time to dwell on it as she quickly entered the shelter.

At the moment she closed the door, another howl of the storm and a sky full of wind and snow echoed behind her.

If she had been left outside by Men Jie, by now she would have been blown into the sky and buried in a snowdrift!

"It seems that Zhong Mei and Men Jie are not meant to perish, as they have both entered the shelter now."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, but Zhong Mei probably didn't expect that even her selfless act couldn't move Men Jie!"

As Yi Tiantian's inner thoughts appeared, the other guests looked around, searching for Men Jie and Zhong Mei.

To their slight disappointment, due to the large number of people in the shelter, they couldn't immediately spot the two.

Meanwhile, Zhong Mei, upon entering the shelter and seeing its full picture, realized that this so-called "shelter" had a hidden world inside!

Contrary to what Zhong Mei had imagined, this place was not a dilapidated cave, but a luxurious multi-story building resembling a shopping mall!

Yes, hidden within the mountain was a huge shopping center!

The colorful shopping center was filled with various luxury brand stores, and many tourists were inside shopping and dining, in stark contrast to the raging storm outside.

After entering, Zhong Mei found that not only were there tourists taking refuge, but also a group of tourists who had been shopping here all along!

Men Jie was also shocked by what he saw, as he had no idea that such a mall was hidden here!

A staff member who had entered with Liu Yide earlier noticed Men Jie and Zhong Mei finally coming in and quickly approached them.

"Mr. Men, Ms. Zhong, we are now going to meet the rest of the guests on the other side."

Still in awe of the contrast, Men Jie asked the staff curiously, "Why didn't your program group tell us earlier that there was such a luxurious place hidden inside this mountain?!"

Zhong Mei also looked at the staff, as she too wanted to know the answer to this question.

The staff explained to them as they walked, "Actually, this was supposed to be a surprise for you from the program group, but it seems that the heavens revealed this surprise ahead of time."

Men Jie and Zhong Mei exchanged glances and then continued walking forward.

Meanwhile, Yi Tiantian and the others had just finished their milk tea and were now seated in a café within the mall, resting.

"Tiantian! I love you, Mom!"

"Sect Leader! Can I make a wish?"

"I want to make a wish!!!"

The enthusiastic fans clearly regarded Yi Tiantian as a wishing well, with everyone trying to squeeze in to make a wish.

Viewers watching the live stream were filled with envy.

[I also want to go to the scene and make a wish in front of Yi Tiantian, wuwuwu!]

[I wanted to go on a snow mountain trip but changed my mind at the last minute and now I'm at the beach from the previous episode's resort, I'm really crying…]

[Is there anyone at the scene offering a wish-making service? I'm willing to pay!]

[Ahhhh if I were there right now, I would definitely rush in to make a wish!]

Faced with such enthusiastic fans, Yi Tiantian could only respond with a smile and a wave of her hand as a polite gesture.

Seeing that Yi Tiantian was interacting with them kindly, the fans erupted into a chorus of screams.

Xie Yi, looking out at the sea of people, felt an infinite sense of emotion in his heart.

At some point, Yi Tiantian had gone from being a newcomer in the entertainment industry to a super popular star.

This achievement made Xie Yi feel exceptionally proud.

Not only because Yi Tiantian was an artist under his company, but also because she was an especially important person in his heart.

Just as he was thinking about this, a sudden loud scream from the crowd interrupted Xie Yi's train of thought.

"Ahhhhh! My 'Ru Hu Tian Yi'! My 'Yi Fei Chong Tian'! Ahhhh!"

A young girl in the crowd was holding her face and looking excitedly in the direction of Yi Tiantian and Xie Yi, waving at them enthusiastically.

The girl's outburst immediately triggered the CP fans of Yi Tiantian and Xie Yi in the live comments.

[Hahahah, sister, you're so bold! You're my god!]

[Ahhhh! If I were there, I would definitely scream together with this sister!!]

[I'm really impressed, hahaha! Could you please be louder!!]

[Hahahah, the sister at the scene really spoke my mind! I'm giving you a thousand likes, ahhhh!]

Watching the excited fans, although Xie Yi couldn't understand what they were saying, he realized that they seemed to be supporting Yi Tiantian.

The thought that these were Yi Tiantian's fans filled Xie Yi with a gratified smile.

It was as if his precious treasure had received recognition from others, which deeply moved Xie Yi.

Seeing this inexplicable smile, the girl who had shouted just now became even more excited.

"Oh my god, is this an official certification from Mr. Xie?! My CP is real!!!"

The viewers in the live comments were also extremely excited, but sitting opposite Xie Yi, Yi Tiantian was not as thrilled.

He swallowed nervously with some tension.

"Why did Mr. Xie just smile?! I feel like there's something eerie about that smile!"

"I hope Gang Fengxing watching the screen doesn't misunderstand anything, and I hope I won't be fired from the company for entering the door with my right foot first after filming the show!"

Yi Tiantian had clearly misunderstood everything and was running further down the path of misunderstanding.

Xie Yi frowned slightly, obviously not understanding what Yi Tiantian was talking about.

But from the words "Gang Fengxing," it was clear that Yi Tiantian had definitely misunderstood something again!

However, Zhao Yulong, who was sitting nearby with a deadpan expression, suddenly felt a glimmer of hope in his heart.

He had thought that it would be difficult to win Yi Tiantian over, given how close Xie Yi and Yi Tiantian were—so close that they would never betray each other!

But now it seemed that this Yi Tiantian and Xie Yi were not as inseparable as he thought.

Because there might be a third wheel named Gang Fengxing between them!

Having been ready to switch his target, Zhao Yulong now felt renewed confidence in his charm.

"Tiantian Ge, are you hungry? I just passed by a salad shop, and I'll go get you one right away."

Zhao Yulong decided to make a move immediately, hoping to win Yi Tiantian over soon so he could move on to other targets.

Upon hearing Zhao Yulong's words, Yi Tiantian didn't think much of it and nodded. "I am a bit hungry..."

"Alright, I'll go now!"

Before Yi Tiantian could finish speaking, Zhao Yulong, as if he had received a command from his master, rushed out of the café at top speed to buy the salad.

But just as he reached the door of the café, he collided forcefully with someone.

"Are you blind?! Watch where you're going!"

The person who was hit clutched their buzzing head and couldn't help but blurt out a curse.

"Can you even afford to pay for this outfit of mine?! Get lost!"

Zhao Yulong was stunned for a moment. He touched his head and then realized that the person in front of him was actually Liu Yide, who was in the same group as Zhong Mei and Men Jie!

In everyone's impression, Liu Yide had always been a normal, decent person.

Although what he had done before was questionable, at least on the show, he hadn't shown any abnormal behavior and was still considered someone who maintained his persona.

But unexpectedly, it was in these unconscious moments that a person's true quality was revealed! The real quality of Liu Yide had been exposed in this instinctive reaction!

The audience in the live comments had also realized this and discovered that the person who had just cursed was their usually silent and reserved "Dede"!

[Huh? Is that really Dede? Are we sure we didn't see wrong? Our Dede would never say such things at home!]

[No way, is that really Dede?! He never swears at home, why is he behaving so poorly on this show?!]

[That just now was definitely an unconscious swear, right? I think Liu Yide was probably just pretending before! He's just an unrefined person in private!]

[Some viewers must be trying to stir up trouble. It's totally understandable that Dede just encountered such a dangerous situation and is feeling upset. It's not surprising that he let out a few swear words!]

[Exactly, who can maintain a stable mood all the time? Some people are just being ridiculous!]

While some viewers still believed in Liu Yide's character, many more began to doubt his integrity.

"Why isn't Liu Yide even pretending in front of the camera anymore? Does he not plan to use this persona to make money online in the future?!"

"Self-destruction is not a bad idea! At least he won't have to worry about Zhong Mei taking revenge after they fall out."

Yi Tiantian sat obediently at a seat in the café, but the thoughts in her mind were far from obedient.

Xie Yi glanced at Yi Tiantian and noticed that she was looking innocently at Zhao Yulong and Liu Yide by the door with wide eyes, as if the previous words had not come from her heart.

Liu Yide only realized what had happened after hearing Yi Tiantian's words. He had actually arrived at the program recording site!

Earlier, he had entered the shelter first and discovered that it was actually a super mall hidden in the snowy mountains. The staff responsible for him then contacted the cable car team’s staff on Yi Tiantian's side to arrange for Liu Yide to meet the guests from the cable car team.

After learning that the cable car team’s guests were at the bubble tea shop, Liu Yide headed over in that direction.

Unexpectedly, on the way to the bubble tea shop following the route given by the program group, Liu Yide passed by a café and bumped into Zhao Yulong, who rushed out like a rocket.

Realizing what had happened, Liu Yide, like a chameleon, hid all his previous disdain and contempt behind a mask and immediately put on a fake smile to strike up a conversation with Zhao Yulong.

"I'm sorry, Brother Zhao. I was in a bad mood just now. Hey, please don't take my words to heart. How about I buy you a cup of coffee..."

Zhao Yulong knew that Liu Yide's apology wasn't sincere, but for the sake of appearances and to give Liu Yide a way out, he reluctantly agreed.

Seeing Zhao Yulong agreeably nodding, Liu Yide immediately went to order two cappuccinos.

"You're back!"

Upon seeing Liu Yide, Jin Yue'er's fair and beautiful face suddenly lit up with a smile as she waved at him.

After confirming that Jin Yue'er was talking to him, Liu Yide's eyes widened in excitement.

This was his goddess!!!

Moreover, Jin Yue'er was the woman that Men Jie longed for!

So, as long as he, Liu Yide, got Jin Yue'er, Men Jie would feel as if he had eaten a fly! No, it would be worse than that!

Therefore, Liu Yide had to win Jin Yue'er over before Men Jie could make his move and make Men Jie envious!

Thinking of this, Liu Yide, unable to contain his excitement, walked over and sat in the empty seat next to Jin Yue'er and Chen Juan.

"Yes, I'm back! The wind outside was so strong just now; we almost got stuck halfway!"

Jin Yue'er's initiative to talk to him made Liu Yide excitedly elaborate on what had just happened, clearly showing off like a peacock.

"Yes, the wind outside was indeed strong, so strong that it almost blew you into the air."

While listening to Liu Yide's exaggerated storytelling, Yi Tiantian mentally rolled her eyes.

Although Liu Yide heard Yi Tiantian's sarcastic remark, he didn't take it seriously and continued to vividly describe the scene to the goddess Jin Yue'er, "The snow was blown up by the wind, covering everything. If I hadn't moved quickly, I would have been buried by the snow!"

"Wow, that was so dangerous!"

Jin Yue'er slightly opened her mouth, making a show of surprise.

She was very good at playing along with men.

After all, they were like children; just give them a little feedback when they spoke, and that would be enough.

Sure enough, hearing Jin Yue'er's response, Liu Yide became even more exaggerated in his gestures and tone.

"Yes, it was really dangerous. Luckily, you all chose the cable car. Actually, I wanted to take the cable car at first, but Zhong Mei wanted to challenge herself... Sigh, never mind. Who told me to pamper her?"

"Are you starting to set up this loving-husband persona again?!"

"Wasn't it you who just wanted to leave Zhong Mei and Men Jie behind to die?! And you even tried to lock the shelter door from the inside. Do you know that's considered attempted murder?!"

Yi Tiantian sneered in her heart, having completely seen through Liu Yide's thoughts.

Liu Yide's eyelid twitched slightly.

Just before he entered the shelter, he had actually seen Zhong Mei desperately holding onto Men Jie, and in his heart, he had prayed that both of them would be swallowed by the blizzard!

And after he entered the shelter, Liu Yide even forcefully closed the door, hoping to prevent Men Jie and Zhong Mei outside from getting in.

Unfortunately, the shelter door couldn't be locked from the inside, so in the end, Liu Yide gave up.

But this was a secret buried deep in his heart, and as long as he didn't say anything, no one would ever know in this lifetime!

Yet Yi Tiantian had exposed all of this through her inner thoughts, which was truly infuriating!

However, at this moment, Liu Yide couldn't stop to refute Yi Tiantian. So he could only grit his teeth and continue to pretend, saying, "I actually think Zhong Mei is an especially righteous woman. She was willing to climb the mountain with Men Jie. I really admire her."

"On the surface, Liu Yide's words seemed to be praising Zhong Mei, but in reality, he was hinting to everyone that Zhong Mei and Men Jie were having an affair! So even if he abandoned Zhong Mei, it would be justifiable!"

"This scheming man is actually speaking with ulterior motives. How shameless!"

Yi Tiantian was beyond being able to criticize Liu Yide's despicable nature.

Liu Yide was extremely pleased with himself in his heart because that was exactly what he meant!

He wanted everyone to know that Zhong Mei had betrayed their marriage first, so now whatever he, Liu Yide, did was justified!

However, after hearing Yi Tiantian's inner thoughts, the others couldn't sympathize with Liu Yide at all, because neither he nor Zhong Mei were any good! The two of them were just a den of snakes and rats!

Deep down, Jin Yue'er actually thought the same, but in order to win Liu Yide over, she pretended to be very sympathetic and said to him in a pitiful tone, "Oh, you must have had a hard time."

A simple sentence from the goddess Jin Yue'er made Liu Yide so excited that he felt a shiver down his spine.

He hadn't expected that his heart's desire, Jin Yue'er, would actually be comforting him!

If Men Jie knew that Jin Yue'er was tenderly consoling him, he would definitely be so jealous that his teeth would fall out one by one!

Feeling smug, Liu Yide looked at Yi Tiantian and the other guests around him, his thoughts self-evident.

That's right, no matter what others say, Jin Yue'er just likes him!

The surrounding staff and guests looked at Liu Yide's smug expression as if he were a petty person who had finally gained power.

They just couldn't stand seeing this kind of man happy!

They really couldn't understand how Jin Yue'er could get involved with a man like him!

Liu Yide looked at Yi Tiantian provocatively, as if boasting about his recent moment of being favored by the goddess.

However, unlike the others, Yi Tiantian remained calm and composed, showing no difference from her usual demeanor.

Just as Liu Yide was getting frustrated about why Yi Tiantian still looked so superior, he suddenly heard the waiter behind him gently say, "Sir, your two cappuccinos."

Liu Yide turned around and saw that the two cups of coffee, which he had ordered to apologize to Zhao Yulong, were ready and being served.

"Okay, put them here, and the other cup..."

Liu Yide turned his head to look for Zhao Yulong, because he had forgotten about him since he started boasting earlier.

After looking around the crowd for a while, Liu Yide couldn't find Zhao Yulong. He was about to stand up to get a better view when he bumped into the waiter carrying the coffee.

"Damn it, can't you get out of the way! Was your brain left out when your mom gave birth to you..."

As he continued cursing, Liu Yide's voice became softer, as he remembered that the live stream was still on, and his fans were watching him.

The waiter was a young girl working part-time during her holiday. Her tuition fees were all earned through part-time work, and after a long, hard day, the young girl burst into tears when Liu Yide scolded her.

"I'm sorry, sir, I really didn't mean to... it was just now..."

Almost none of the coffee spilled on Liu Yide, but the girl's arm was scorched red.

Even so, the young girl kept apologizing desperately.

Liu Yide knew that the words he had just shouted were like water spilled on the ground, impossible to take back.

And unlike the earlier incident with Zhao Yulong, he couldn't find an excuse this time, so he could only shift the blame onto the young girl to absolve himself.

After all, this young girl was powerless, and at worst, he could just give her some money to make up for it!

"I think as a young girl like you, instead of trying to make money all the time, why don't you focus more on studying? At your age, you shouldn't be tainted by the smell of money!"

Liu Yide self-righteously lectured the young girl in front of him, his condescending attitude was infuriating.

[Little did Liu Yide know that this young girl was the famous "Snow Mountain Working Girl" online? This impoverished girl had even been interviewed on a TV show!]

"And yet Liu Yide accused her of being tainted by money, isn't he afraid of being called out?"
