Chapter 204

This inner thought of Yi Tiantian immediately became breaking news.

The people under Liu Juanhua, the manager, actually included artists from the entertainment industry?!

Who in their right mind would choose to go into that line of work!!

This made everyone even more excited, and they were all eager to go to the scene to get the latest gossip.

We can’t waste any time; if we arrive too late, we’ll miss out on the fresh gossip and regret it!

Only Gang Fengxing was still lingering over his confession at the train station, while everyone else was already mentally at the tea house!

So, under everyone’s anxious gazes, Gang Fengxing had no choice but to reluctantly say, “Then, we’ll go to...”

Before Gang Fengxing could finish his sentence, Director Xiao He immediately stood up and said, “Alright, alright, alright! We’ll wrap up now. The tea culture exchange event is about to start. We’ll have lunch there!”

“Let’s go, let’s go!” the employees echoed in agreement.

Everyone wanted to get to the gossip as soon as possible, so they grabbed their stuff and prepared to run.

Yi Tiantian was even more anxious because once they arrived at the tea culture exchange event, the system might trigger even more explosive drama!

No one could stop him from indulging in the gossip!

And so, only Gang Fengxing was left behind, feeling hurt, as everyone rushed off to eat the gossip. No one noticed that he still wanted to confess his feelings to Yi Tiantian.

But as a strong person, his greatest strength was his ability to bounce back.

Gang Fengxing felt that maybe it just wasn’t the right time, so he didn’t force it.

If he couldn’t confess today, there was always tomorrow, the day after, and the day after that!

He would keep confessing until Tiantian Ge finally accepted him.

So, although he was a little upset for the moment, Gang Fengxing soon regained his cheerful mood and hummed a tune as he followed Yi Tiantian towards their destination for the day.

The entire crew hurried, and soon they arrived at the tea culture exchange event.

The place was packed, with people filling every seat in the tea house. Seeing the crew, especially a big star like Yi Tiantian, the boss lady immediately came forward.

“Welcome, welcome! Welcome to our tea culture exchange event.”

The boss lady, Liu Juanhua, was also wearing a cheongsam today, but it was a light green one that made her look a few years younger.

“Hello,” the crew members greeted Liu Juanhua, and Yi Tiantian smiled and nodded at her.

“We’ve reserved special seats just for your crew,” the boss lady said, as if she had already anticipated their arrival. She quickly extended a wrinkled, almost fleshless arm towards a long table and chairs in the central area of the tea house.

Earlier, the central table and chairs had been hidden by the crowd surrounding them. Now, following the direction the boss lady was pointing, it was clear that no one was sitting there.

And there was Wang Li, Liu Juanhua’s contract husband, standing in front of the empty table and chairs, waving. His face was still full of youthful collagen, with a sycophantic smile floating on his face.

The crew members headed towards the direction where Wang Li was standing.

"We've specially reserved these seats for your team, and you'll be able to enjoy our most spectacular performance," Wang Li said excitedly to the crew.

"Especially our stand-up comedy show, featuring the most professional performers," Wang Li added with a gleam in his eye.

Following Wang Li's gaze, Yi Tiantian looked towards the stage in front of their seats. It was a makeshift stage with a dark green curtain that perfectly matched the teahouse's ambiance.

As soon as Yi Tiantian and the others walked in, everyone in the teahouse turned to look at them. The previously noisy teahouse suddenly fell silent.

"I heard Gang Fengxing's confession was rejected!"

"What?! He actually confessed? That's bold!"

"But it's so sad that he got rejected!"

"Yi Tiantian is so popular, he'll probably be snatched up soon!"

It turned out that someone had recorded the scene at the station yesterday and posted it online. Rumors were spreading, and even the people attending the tea culture event had heard about it.

Yi Tiantian, who was used to hearing such rumors, didn't care at all. He ignored them and headed straight for his seat.

Gang Fengxing, however, was not as broad-minded. The words of the people around him felt like swords piercing his heart!

Oh no...

How embarrassing!

Gang Fengxing's heart was bleeding inside.

But he would never give up! What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger!

Being rejected only made him like Yi Tiantian even more!

After reinforcing this belief in his heart, Gang Fengxing recovered from his heartbroken state.

The crew members quickly took their seats, but Yi Tiantian's thoughts almost made everyone spit out their saltwater soda.

"This Wang Li really doesn't hesitate to lie. Where are these so-called famous performers?"

"Those are just his former coworkers!"

"These days, even ducks can do stand-up comedy—what a strange world!"

Yi Tiantian wasn't trying to insult ducks. He rested his hands on his chin and looked ahead, his eyes out of focus, as he browsed through the system's gossip.

"Oh, so this stand-up comedian has always been struggling, and eventually became a duck."

"Even after becoming a duck, he still didn't become famous, so he's hardly a renowned performer!"

"But he's pretty well-known in the duck community because he has one eye and the other is a red glass ball."

Yi Tiantian didn't mean to look down on people with disabilities; he just found it curious.

The crew members stared at Yi Tiantian, completely taken aback by his comments.

This guy is really outrageous!

I didn’t expect that there would actually be small-time entertainers who, due to the slump in the entertainment industry, ultimately decide to become escorts!

It seems that there’s more to this than meets the eye!

Everyone started to feel a growing sense of anticipation. They looked up and observed their surroundings, wanting to see if they could spot any familiar faces.

But unfortunately, everywhere they looked, there were only regular folks. It didn’t seem like anyone from the entertainment industry was present.

Only Gang Fengxing, sitting next to Yi Tiantian, was as alert as a police dog. He had to constantly monitor the movements around him, ready to take down any suspicious escorts that came close!

He wanted to let everyone know that his muscles weren’t just for show!

Gang Fengxing fantasized about the potential enemies that might appear and how he would deal with them, unable to suppress a cold snort. His expression grew increasingly fierce.

Yi Tiantian suddenly felt a cold breeze beside him. His arm, propping up his chin, got goosebumps.

Stealing a sideways glance at Gang Fengxing, he was startled, his eyes widening.

"Why does Gang Fengxing look so angry?!"

"Could he have some beef with the escorts..."

"I need to dig into the rumors to see if that’s the case!"

"Wait, I shouldn’t look into my friend’s gossip. If I see something I’m not supposed to, I’ll never be able to look at him the same way again!"

Yi Tiantian was about to open the rumor system, but his last shred of rationality held him back.

Except for Actor Fei, he had never looked into the gossip of anyone close to him.

And the one time he did, there wasn’t anything explosive, so it was hardly worth mentioning.

While everyone was gossiping, more and more people entered the teahouse. What was once a quiet place filled with classical music had now become a noisy hub where many were chattering away.

Yi Tiantian straightened his posture slightly. Unable to find any fresh gossip in the system, he decided to sit up and see if he could spot any figures from the entertainment industry.

But unfortunately, he couldn’t find a single trace.

"That’s strange. There aren’t any small-time celebrities or escorts!"

Yi Tiantian couldn’t help but exclaim as he suddenly realized this.

The members of the crew also felt disappointed, their excited expressions instantly dropping.

Without the escorts, what’s the point of being here?

They had been hoping to see the escorts' reactions. How would they respond to Liu Juanhua and Wang Li being together?

It was a pity they hadn’t shown up. If they didn’t appear, this dramatic scene couldn’t play out.

Just as everyone was feeling down, Liu Juanhua and Wang Li, having settled into their seats, walked up to the stage with microphones in hand.

"Welcome, everyone..."

They smiled warmly as they delivered an enthusiastic opening speech, which could be summarized as:

Welcome everyone, the tea is really good, enjoy the performance.

After speaking, they shared an enthusiastic kiss in front of everyone.

Wang Li held Liu Juanhua's head with one hand, then pecked twice on her somewhat dry lips before looking thoroughly flushed at the audience.

Now, the audience was fixated on that tagline.

"Marrying the person you love is like winning a battle!"

"It seems that their feelings are really genuine!"

"I’m so jealous! This kind of love that defies societal norms is exactly what I’ve always wanted to experience!"

"Check out their video channel—if you don’t, I’ll be heartbroken, okay?"

The applause and whistles from the audience were thunderous; showing love publicly had indeed caused an enthusiastic response, which was exactly the effect Liu Juanhua and Wang Li had aimed for!

Liu Juanhua’s smile grew wider as she watched the audience clap enthusiastically. She was confident that Yi Tiantian and the crew would now be moved to celebrate her and Wang Li's beautiful love!

Confidently, she glanced at the central seats, expecting Yi Tiantian and the crew to join in celebrating their beautiful love. However, she was met with crew members looking back at her with expressions of embarrassment and even some... confusion?

Liu Juanhua's smile froze at the corner of her mouth, and she twitched slightly.

Wait, are these people immune to love or something? Why aren’t they even clapping?!

Wang Li noticed Liu Juanhua's discomfort and also looked towards the crew.

Unbeknownst to them, Yi Tiantian’s thoughts were echoing in their minds again.

"Here they come! The ducks have finally arrived!"

"And they just stood outside the door and saw Liu Juanhua and Wang Li kissing!!!"
