Chapter 21

The expressions on the faces of the siblings froze instantly upon hearing this.

Li You's clenched fists had veins that seemed about to burst, while Shi Zhongzhong hung her head in silence, as if she had been dealt a severe blow.

All the clues from the past finally connected into the truth!

It turned out that person had been asking for money so frequently, all for gambling!

Fei Cheng noticed someone in the group showing an unusual expression.

Finally, the affair partner could no longer contain their impulse.

The filming of the show continued.

The guests walked along the mountain path, surrounded by dense vegetation, with small mushrooms occasionally peeking out from among the trees.

Yi Tiantian, with her sharp eyes, spotted a yellow mushroom.

She immediately thought of a good way to give the siblings a hint.

Let's start with Li You, the brother, since he still seems relatively rational.

Yi Tiantian pointed at the yellow mushroom and said, "Brother You, there's a yellow mushroom over there. Let's go pick it together!"

Li You took two seconds to realize Yi Tiantian was talking to him: "Ah, ah, okay."

"This mushroom is really yellow!" Yi Tiantian pointed at the small mushroom, "It reminds me that we should never touch yellow, gambling, or drugs. So this must be a poisonous mushroom!"

"So leave your gambling affair partner! He's just like a poisonous mushroom!"

Though a bit abstract, Li You instantly understood Yi Tiantian's meaning.

Li You was still hesitant, given the sunk costs he had already invested.

"Can we remove the poison and eat it?" Li You murmured softly.

"Huh? Are you thinking of helping the affair partner quit gambling?"

"Don't entertain such foolish hopes; he'll only drain your last drop of value and won't change for you!"

Yi Tiantian spoke earnestly.

"No matter how you remove the poison, it's still a poisonous mushroom." Yi Tiantian stood up, "Let's continue looking ahead."

Li You nodded thoughtfully.

After dealing with the brother, Yi Tiantian set her sights on the sister, Shi Zhongzhong.

This time, however, Shi Zhongzhong initiated the conversation.

"Yi Tiantian, what do you think of the dish chicken stewed with mushrooms?"

Shi Zhongzhong's words carried a hidden barb. While speaking to Yi Tiantian, she was also warning the affair partner in the group.

"Chicken stewed with mushrooms? How about using the affair partner's chicken to stew with mushrooms? I don't know if it would taste good, but it would certainly be satisfying!"

"If I could see the affair partner's chicken being stewed with mushrooms, I can't imagine how cheerful and lively I'd feel!"

Yi Tiantian nodded vigorously: "Delicious!"

Shi Zhongzhong exchanged a glance with Li You, understanding each other's thoughts.

However, the viewers in the live chat noticed that Yi Tiantian kept approaching Shi Zhongzhong and sticking close to Li You, finding her behavior quite strange.

[Yi Tiantian keeps seeking out these top stars. Is she trying to ride their coattails?]

[Yeah, it feels weird. Yi Tiantian, even though you're famous now, don't get too big for your boots...]

[Breaking up our history CP, Yi Tiantian, stay away! I don't want to see you!]

[Supporting the history CP all the way! Yi Tiantian is clearly riding their popularity wave!]

During the mushroom-picking segment, the atmosphere between everyone remained strange, as if brewing a storm.

Finally, the storm erupted during the cooking segment.

Li You was stewing soup with a blank expression.

Meanwhile, Shi Zhongzhong skillfully tossed the mushrooms, seemingly venting her anger through cooking.

But ultimately, stir-frying the mushrooms didn't satisfy Shi Zhongzhong.

She turned to Ju Xue, who was trying to get closer to Fei Cheng, and shouted, "How long do you plan to deceive us?!"

Before Ju Xue could react, a pot of freshly fried mushrooms was poured over his head, hot oil splattering onto his face and body, causing intense pain. He screamed like a pig being slaughtered at New Year's.

The tall Shi Zhongzhong directly dumped the stir-fried mushrooms over the short Ju Xue's head!

Not content with just that, Li You also decided not to take it anymore: "You liar, give us back our money!"

Li You picked up the soup he had been simmering and threw it at Ju Xue's crotch, scalding him and making him jump around in agony!

The staff present were stunned, and it took them a moment to call for emergency help.

"Yes! The affair partner is Ju Xue!"

"He recently lost hundreds of thousands gambling, and the siblings seem to have understood my hints!"

"Favorite episode: Chicken with Mushrooms!"

Yi Tiantian hid behind the renowned actor Fei Cheng, munching on some melon while feeling excited.

The popularity of the live stream surged at this moment, with countless people flooding in all at once.

In no time, the live stream became the top one on the entire platform, even surpassing the usual frontrunner!

The heat from the gossip quickly escalated, and related trending topics rapidly climbed up the charts.

"How dare you accuse me!" Ju Xue, still enduring intense pain, continued to defend himself.

"Everyone else pretends to be fake, but you're the real deal! How thick-skinned can you get?"

"If you have the guts, show us your chat records on your phone; the two recent transfers are still fresh!"

Li You and Shi Zhongzhong, brother and sister, seeing this shameless person still having the nerve to speak, directly confronted him.

"Do you dare to show the camera your transfer and chat records?" Shi Zhongzhong sneered, "I really fell for your tricks. You're not even as tall as I am; how could I have been PUA'd by someone like you!"

"If it weren't for Yi Tiantian's help, Zhongzhong and I wouldn't have seen through your true colors!" Li You suddenly turned to the camera, using his puppy-dog face to loudly declare, "Fans of Ju Xue, your idol is not only 160 cm tall but also enjoys gambling!"

The bullet comments exploded.

[I can't believe it, siblings?! Those who insulted Yi Tiantian this morning, step forward!]

[Wait, these top influencers are siblings, not a couple?! Those who criticized Yi Tiantian this morning for breaking the CP, step forward!]

[Sorry, sorry, Yi Tiantian, you were actually trying to help them. No wonder I felt something was off; the real villain is Ju Xue!]

[Yi Tiantian must be the judge of the entertainment industry; she reads people so accurately!]

[Hold on, too much information! Ju Xue gambles?!!]

A flurry of bullet comments flew past, and the audience, stuffed with unexpected gossip, went completely wild!

Now, the fact that Ju Xue had lied about his height had become the least shocking piece of news here!

On-site, Ju Xue still stubbornly insisted, "You two gave me the money willingly..."

Just as he said this, Wang Dachui, who had been watching the spectacle, couldn't hold back any longer and spoke up.

"Dude, though I'm not great either, you're really low, disgusting!"

Wang Dachui spat right on top of the 160 cm tall Ju Xue's head.

This was Wang Dachui, whom Ju Xue despised the most!

Humiliated in such a manner, Ju Xue fainted on the spot, rolling his eyes.
