My Wife Became a Top Star After I Came Back from Quick Transmigration - Chapter 48

Not only was Feng Ye’s head hurting, but the guests were also in an awkward situation.

Yun Yue still had her hands behind her back, looking up at the sky as if she could become a Buddha on the spot at any time.

Qi Yushan stood blankly on the other side. Her gaze would occasionally turn to Yun Yue, but she was probably warned by her manager, so she was very restrained and quickly looked away.

What happened yesterday was sudden, but the follow-up should have been well-negotiated. Even Feng Ye was probably called in to talk, so he cut the camera whenever Qi Yushan’s gaze unconsciously turned to Yun Yue.

Even so, not to mention the fans watching, the seven guests caught between the two of them didn’t dare to speak at this moment. They all looked at the camera, waiting for Feng Ye to announce the task.

Jiang Lun, in particular, was very uncomfortable. After all, when Yun Yue slapped her yesterday, Jiang Lun happened to be standing next to her. That slap was like it was thrown at his face, making him stunned.

At that moment, countless images flashed through his mind, and his emotions were in turmoil. In the end, it all turned into… “Why wasn’t it me who went on the date today!!! Even if I had to go with Qiu Mingyi, that would have been fine! I don’t want to be here!!!”

He wanted to avoid that scene so badly! One of the trending topics yesterday was even about Jiang Lun, saying that the slap landed on Qi Yushan’s face, but it hit Jiang Lun so hard that he turned into a turtle facing the sky—unable to move!

Fortunately, Feng Ye knew the atmosphere was not good, so he quickly tried to ease it with a game.

He took out a lottery box and said, “Today, we’re going to play a catching game called ‘Cops and Robbers.'”

Everyone’s eyes fell on Feng Ye. “Who would dare to catch those two? And wouldn’t it be awkward to avoid catching them?”

Feng Ye pretended not to see and continued, “The rules of the game are as follows: this lottery box contains the names of all nine of you. The person whose name is drawn is the cop.”

This was a little interesting, and everyone perked up a bit. The person whose name was drawn was the cop, but everyone’s name was in the box, so what would the cop do?

Feng Ye: “After the game starts, we will draw the first name. That person will be the cop, and the rest will be the robbers. The cop can catch the robbers. Catching one person counts as one point. In that round of the game, the caught robbers cannot continue to play. But…”

At this point, Feng Ye paused dramatically for the sake of the show, which made Qiu Mingyi roll his eyes. “This is a live broadcast. Pausing is very strange.”

[Hahaha, Senior Qiu is right!]

[If it were a pre-recorded show, they would constantly repeat “but, but, but,” and they would show multiple angles.]

[Hahaha, true. They would also edit a clip of the entire scene being silent. With a live broadcast, I thought my Wi-Fi was bad and it was buffering.]

Feng Ye was annoyed and could only continue, “Each round is five minutes. After five minutes, a gong will sound, and a new name will be drawn. The cop will change, and the game will start over. This entire process will not stop. No staff members will intervene. The guests need to pay attention to the gong and the announcement of the cop’s name themselves.”

Jiang Lun understood the difficulty of this game. “This means that even when running, you can’t be with your companions because you never know when your companion will become the cop.”

The director nodded. “Of course, the cops whose names have been announced will not become the cop again. The game area is the backyard of Mokeju. So, let’s announce the winner’s prize: based on each person’s score, you can choose your teammates in order. The more points you have, the earlier you get to choose. By the way, with nine guests, we will have three teams of three. Once a team is full, no one else can be chosen. So, get ready for the game to start! Oh, a friendly reminder, don’t get too close to your partner!”

[Hahahahaha, Director Feng is too mischievous.]

[After becoming the cop, would they really be willing to catch their partner? Aren’t they afraid of kneeling on durian at night?]

Feng Ye looked at the comments and saw that they were finally not a one-sided stream of curses. He felt a little relieved and looked at Su Qixi and Lin Mo with appreciation. Their return had a huge impact on the show.

After all, the two of them were a trending CP now. The number of CP fans in their superfan chat had already exceeded 600,000, and they were all very active. Yesterday, when they were not here, the number of viewers dropped.

Now that their fans were present, the comment section was almost entirely controlled by them, pushing Qi Yushan’s fans to the side.

Feng Ye felt very comforted, and his expression was relaxed. He reached into the box and started to draw a name. The nine guests who were originally gathered together quickly moved to different corners of the backyard, looking at others with caution.

Of course, Yun Yue was the least enthusiastic one. She almost stood still as soon as she found a nearby spot.

Feng Ye took out the paper and chuckled. His assistant hit the gong beside him.

With a “dong,” a deep male voice came from the large speaker in the backyard: “Cop—Qiu Mingyi!”

Qiu Mingyi, who was hiding in the pavilion, laughed out loud, “Hahahahaha, you guys are screwed!”

Qiu Mingyi had participated in many variety shows over the years, so he had some sense of humor. After he shouted, he pounced on Jiang Lun, who was the closest to him. However, Jiang Lun was younger and more agile. He quickly dodged Qiu Mingyi and ran away.

Qiu Mingyi: “…It’s good to be young!”

[Hahahahahaha]

[Qiu Mingyi didn’t even react.]

[This is called the Jiang family’s teleportation technique!]

Qiu Mingyi didn’t catch Jiang Lun and decided not to chase him anymore. He was too fast. So, he changed his target to Li Xinling on the other side. But wow, Li Xinling worked out all year round, and her movements were even faster than Jiang Lun’s.

Qiu Mingyi thought deeply. “I’m really bad at this. Why am I trying to catch these skilled people?” So, he changed his target to Su Qixi.

Su Qixi was indeed not as agile as the other two, but she was far away from Qiu Mingyi and had already run away.

Qiu Mingyi: “…Director, I think there’s a problem here.”

Feng Ye: “There’s no problem. You’re just too slow. Why don’t you catch Zhuo Zitao? She’s slow and wearing heels!”

Qiu Mingyi: “…Tsk.” It’s easy for someone who’s not in the situation to make fun of it.

Qiu Mingyi looked at Zhuo Zitao. Zhuo Zitao glared at him. “Try to catch me.”

Qiu Mingyi: “See… This game is definitely flawed.”

Feng Ye: “…”

[Ahhhh, Senior Qiu is such a dog!]

[Zhuo Zitao: You’re so good. Shouldn’t I reward you tonight?]

[This middle-aged love, I’m all for it.]

Qiu Mingyi’s physical strength was not as good as the younger ones, and the backyard of Mokeju was not small. After three minutes, he hadn’t caught a single person.

Just as he was thinking of finding someone who ran slowly, he saw Yun Yue sitting behind the pavilion.

Qiu Mingyi immediately stopped. Yun Yue was sitting on the grass. When she heard the sound, she turned her head to look at him.

They were two meters apart, one standing and one sitting. They just looked at each other, and neither of them dared to move.

[Hahahahaha…]

[I’m going to die of laughter!!!]

[Look at Senior Qiu’s不敢 to catch her.]

[He might even be thinking: “Why don’t you run!!!”]

In the end, since Yun Yue didn’t move at all, Qiu Mingyi felt that it would be awkward if he didn’t catch her. So, he could only walk over, gently touch the back of Yun Yue’s hand, and say, “You’ve been arrested.” This level of humor was already very hard to come by in such an awkward situation.

Yun Yue said “Oh” and then crawled into the pavilion to sit. It was as if this was a prison, and she was a prisoner, locked up here.

Qiu Mingyi: “…”

Five minutes were up, and Qiu Mingyi had only caught Yun Yue.

The gong sounded again, and the speaker followed with: “Cop—Wu Qingqing!”

Wu Qingqing was being chased by Qiu Mingyi at that moment! When she heard that she was the cop now, she turned around so smoothly that Qiu Mingyi didn’t even react.

When he saw Wu Qingqing coming toward him, his first reaction was still bewilderment.

Qiu Mingyi: “???”

But he at least understood the situation. Seeing that something was wrong, he turned and ran.

However, his body couldn’t keep up with his brain, and he couldn’t outrun Wu Qingqing and was caught.

In five minutes, Wu Qingqing caught Qiu Mingyi, Yun Yue, and Su Qixi.

Finally, she set her sights on Jiang Lun, so when the cop changed, she pounced directly into Jiang Lun’s arms.

—”Cop—Jiang Lun.”

Since the announcement of the new cop on the speaker was earlier than Wu Qingqing’s pounce, Wu Qingqing had basically given a point to Jiang Lun for free.

At that moment, Wu Qingqing’s face was extremely dark. Jiang Lun was so scared that he wanted to give that point back.

He really felt so wronged. When Wu Qingqing pounced on him, he didn’t even dodge. He thought that if he got caught, he would get caught, the main thing was not to let her fall and get hurt. But he didn’t give away the point and even got a point for free.

Jiang Lun was so wronged that he could spit blood. He turned his grief into strength and ran to catch people. The strength that came from his grief was indeed useful. He caught Zhuo Zitao, Su Qixi, Yun Yue, and Qiu Mingyi one after another.

“Cop—Zhuo Zitao.”

Zhuo Zitao was wearing high heels, so of course, she didn’t catch anyone, but Qiu Mingyi didn’t dare to run and gave her a point. Yun Yue was caught every single time, so she was also a free point. In the end, Zhuo Zitao got two points, which was one more point than Qiu Mingyi.

“Cop—Su Qixi.”

Su Qixi gasped for air as she listened to her name being called. She suddenly realized that the most difficult part of this game was not the change of the cop’s identity.

The cop’s identity changed every five minutes, so as long as you controlled the time well, you wouldn’t be ambushed.

But every round started over, and people who were easy to catch were easy to catch every single time. People who were easy to catch were also easy to be targeted every single time. People who were easy to catch would start running at the beginning of every round.

In other words, since the game started, Su Qixi had been running for her life for 20 minutes. Although she had some rest in between, she was truly exhausted. Su Qixi’s physical fitness was not particularly good, which probably had something to do with her childhood.

Therefore, when it was her turn to be the cop, she suddenly realized that she couldn’t catch anyone.

Su Qixi: “…” I’ll just go find Yun Yue!

Yun Yue, who had been giving away points to others, was speechless: “…”

Yun Yue simply crawled into the pavilion and sat down. Su Qixi also sat with her.

When Yun Yue saw that she wasn’t going to catch anyone else, she asked curiously, “Did you give up?”

Su Qixi was panting, pressing the faintly aching spot on her waist. “I can’t run anymore. I don’t want to give up, but I can’t run.”

In the end, Su Qixi and Yun Yue spent five minutes in the pavilion.

“Cop—Qi Yushan.”

Yun Yue, who was sitting in the pavilion, immediately stiffened. Su Qixi didn’t move either.

When Qi Yushan’s name was called, she also paused and her eyes unconsciously glanced at the pavilion. Yun Yue was there. Yun Yue and Su Qixi were there. They were two free points.

It was also an opportunity for her to get close to her openly on the show.

But her manager’s warning was still ringing in her ears—”You are not allowed to get close to her again. Think about how hard you’ve worked to get to where you are today.”

Yun Yue’s voice was also in her ears yesterday: “You really disgust me!”

Qi Yushan gritted her teeth, turned her head, and started to catch people in the yard.

However, the Wu Yu CP had broken up. At this moment, no one cared about their obvious favoritism.

Yun Yue, on the other hand, didn’t avoid Qi Yushan and looked at her. Qi Yushan was strong and agile, so she was very good at catching people.

Qi Yushan was tall, good-looking, had a good personality, and could always make herself laugh.

Qi Yushan had been trying to contact her and start over with her all these years.

Yun Yue lowered her eyes and asked Su Qixi in a low voice, “Did Lin Mo also do something very excessive when she left back then?”

Su Qixi was originally watching Lin Mo’s figure escaping outside, but Lin Mo had been much more at ease since the game started. Since Qiu Mingyi tried to catch her and couldn’t, even when they were within one meter of each other, all the subsequent cops wouldn’t choose Lin Mo as their first target.

Qi Yushan was a little more skilled and forced Lin Mo to stay away from her.

When she heard Yun Yue’s question, Su Qixi didn’t even react. But Feng Ye reacted quickly and cut the camera when he heard Yun Yue say the words “back then.”

“Are you talking about Lin Mo?” Su Qixi looked at her strangely. Finally, she thought for a moment and smiled, “If you’re talking about something excessive, it depends on who it is for, right? I don’t think it was excessive for a normal person.” She saved someone and then left. That’s all!

“But for me, it was, right?” Su Qixi thought carefully. “It was very much so.” There was a period when her illness relapsed, and she even lost the will to live.

A rotten piece of meat pulled out of the mud, a new life blossomed, new bones and skin grew, and it started to look like a person. What kind of despair would it be to be put back into the darkness and have the new skin torn off?

So, Su Qixi nodded affirmatively. “So, I was very angry.”

Yun Yue showed her first smile of the day, but that smile was very sad. She said, “That’s good! Even though you said it was something very excessive, you’re only very angry?”

“Do you love her so much that you can forgive all her mistakes?”

Su Qixi didn’t want to talk about her and Lin Mo’s business, but when she saw the light go out in Yun Yue’s eyes, she remembered the memory of Lin Mo pulling her up when she was like that.

It was just pulling her hand…

“Yes,” Su Qixi said. “I can. She saved me.”

“I heard your manager has been very irritable recently. The people around you all disagree, right? Is it worth it? Is it a good deal? Isn’t it paid off?” It’s just a life-saving grace.

Su Qixi looked at Lin Mo in the distance and said lightly, “They don’t support it, and they’ve also said that I can repay her with other things. They’ve also said that a person who does something wrong is not worthy of forgiveness. They’ve also told me to live for myself more. I said that a person who is in the dark and feels hopeless has a desire for sunlight.”

Su Qixi paused and continued, “They told me that this kind of dependence on sunlight should have disappeared when I became successful.”

Yun Yue blinked and looked at her in confusion.

Su Qixi turned her head to look at Yun Yue. Her eyes were serious and as dark as the universe in the starry sky. “Everyone knows that people in the dark will have a desire for sunlight. They just don’t understand why this greed can last for so long. The answer is actually very simple…”

—”If you’ve really rotted in the dark, you’ll know what the first ray of sunlight means.”

Everyone who told her to give up easily was happy.

Because they had never truly experienced her life…

How could she let go of the person who carried her out of the alley? How could she let go of the person who stood up to Su Yong and protected her from behind? How could she let go of the person who kicked open the classroom door and defeated all evil?

She once stood in front of her and carried the whole world!

The sight of her waiting for her after school in the hallway, the sight of her waiting for her to get off work at the store, the sight of her waiting for her to come home at the school gate. And her every glance and smile, the back of her cooking in the kitchen, her profile as she crouched down to pick vegetables when buying groceries, her helpless smile by the bed because she wouldn’t eat…

Every single frame, every single side, she had to recall them over the years, just in case she forgot.

“You’re so brave,” Yun Yue sighed. “I really envy that kind of bravery! When I saw you two go on a date, I started to reflect on myself. When you love someone so deeply, can’t you forgive one mistake of theirs? It’s been so many years. Maybe if I let go, maybe we can both live a happy life. I was so naive!”

Yun Yue gave a bitter smile. “I thought I could be like you, let go! Start over! But then I found out that sometimes the truth is a lie! Su Qixi, don’t get too invested.”

Yun Yue smiled bitterly. Su Qixi saw the despair on her face that was about to cry and defended Lin Mo, “Not everyone is worthy, but some people are different.”

Yun Yue looked at her and shook her head. “If you’ve been hurt before, you should know that maybe that wasn’t an accident back then. And this kind of hurt might not be the end. Your friend is right. People need to look forward. The truth I saw when I looked back was the punishment for me looking back.”

Su Qixi saw the despair in her back and finally didn’t ask her what kind of truth she had seen. But she believed that Lin Mo would not let her down. Lin Mo didn’t accept her confession back then, so she didn’t do anything wrong to anyone when she left.

But now, Lin Mo has confessed to me herself. Lin Mo is a person who keeps her promises. She never breaks her word.

“Cop—Lin Mo.”

Everyone on the scene froze and then looked at Lin Mo, who was sitting by the flower bed. When she heard her name, she smiled happily, then got up, stretched, and said, “Please guide me, everyone.”

Qiu Mingyi: “…Damn, she’s so intimidating.”

Zhuo Zitao: “…You’ve been caught so many times. It doesn’t matter anymore.”

Jiang Lun: “No, that’s not it. I got five points. You guys run! I have to be number one!!!”

Wu Qingqing rolled her eyes. “…Ha, ha, ha, I have to be able to run! Lin Mo was not chased by anyone and was one of the last few to play. This game is so unfair.”

[Hahahaha, my Qingqing is about to collapse. Jiang, hurry up and help her!]

[Jiang is so anxious. Lin Mo has started catching people.]

[Damn, she’s so fast!]

The first ones to be “harvested” by Lin Mo were the tired Wu Qingqing, then the slow Zhuo Zitao, the exhausted Qiu Mingyi, and the struggling Jiang Lun, who had nowhere to escape.

As for Su Qixi and Yun Yue, she caught them on the side while she was catching others, since they were free points.

At this point, there were two minutes left. Lin Mo didn’t go to catch Qi Yushan. She only went after Li Xinling and actually caught her.

Li Xinling was so angry that she cursed, saying that she was holding a grudge.

“Cop—Yun Yue!”

So, everyone who was caught by Lin Mo gathered outside the pavilion and stopped, looking at Yun Yue inside the pavilion.

Yun Yue took a deep breath. “People need to look forward. We can only rely on ourselves.”

[What is this girl saying?]

[Damn, she has the nerve to come out.]

[What do you mean ‘look forward?’ She’s talking as if Yushan did something wrong to her.]

The other guests also looked at Yun Yue, not knowing whether to run or not. After all, she had been a little lazy today! Wouldn’t it be awkward if they ran all over the place while she just walked behind them?

The result was…

Yun Yue rushed out like an arrow, which scared the guests outside.

“Ah ah ah ah ah”

“Help ah ah ah ah ah ah!”

“What did this person eat? She’s running too fast!”

“I can’t, I can’t, I can’t run anymore!!!”

[Hahahahaha, I’m dying of laughter. A group of people scattered like birds and beasts all at once.]

[Wow, that scared me too, she just rushed out.]

[I didn’t notice! She can run this fast?]

Seeing the new comments about Yun Yue, her “Buddhist” fans finally came out to explain: [My baby Yue is from a sports school! She was a champion back then!]

[No wonder! She runs so fast.]

[Those people were still standing there guessing whether she would chase them or not. I’m dying of laughter.]

In the end, Yun Yue, from the sports school, got six points. She gave up the point from Qi Yushan. She knew she couldn’t catch the energetic Lin Mo, so she didn’t bother to chase her.

Because Yun Yue’s performance was so unexpected, no one even paid attention to the last cop—Li Xinling.

In the end, Li Xinling also successfully scored five points with her good physical strength and martial arts skills.

The gong sounded again, and the game ended.

In the end, Lin Mo was the first with seven points. Yun Yue was second with six points. And Qi Yushan, Jiang Lun, and Li Xinling were tied for third with five points. Wu Qingqing had three points, Zhuo Zitao had two points, and Qiu Mingyi and Su Qixi had the lowest scores.

When the results came out, Feng Ye stood up and announced, “Congratulations to our champion, Lin Mo!!!”

Feng Ye was very passionate, but the applause on the scene was scattered. Everyone was exhausted.

Feng Ye didn’t care and asked Lin Mo, “Come on, champion, choose your new partners!”

Lin Mo smiled brightly. “My answer has always been the same—Xixi, come here.”

[Ahhhhh, Qilin, you’re killing me with this!]

[Wuwuwu, that doting smile.]

[Damn it, why are there three partners? Two is already perfect!]

[Qilin is real!!!]

[Bring me the Bureau of Civil Affairs!]

The comments went crazy because of Lin Mo’s choice. Feng Ye was very satisfied and asked the second place, Yun Yue, “Come on, second place, it’s your turn.”

Yun Yue seemed to have perked up a bit. She stood in front of the camera, smiled faintly, and said, “I choose Su Qixi.”

Suddenly, both inside and outside the camera, there was silence…

Yun Yue’s smile grew even wider…
