My Wife Became a Top Star After I Came Back from Quick Transmigration - Chapter 49
Everyone on the scene looked at Yun Yue in shock. Yun Yue didn’t know if it was because of her conversation with Su Qixi, but she suddenly felt a sense of clarity, and her whole demeanor was different.
Qi Yushan, who was standing not far away, was stunned, but there was nothing she could do.
Lin Mo and Su Qixi also looked at Yun Yue. Since the broadcast started, everyone had gotten along well, but the people Lin Mo and Su Qixi had been closest to were Qiu Mingyi and Zhuo Zitao. One was because both of them had known Su Qixi before and were her seniors.
Another reason was that the two of them were older and would often act as older sister and older brother to lead everyone. Although Lin Mo was young in body, she had been through so many worlds that her mentality was actually closer to Qiu Mingyi and Zhuo Zitao, and she was more comfortable with them.
Therefore, since the broadcast started, Lin Mo, Su Qixi, Qiu Mingyi, and Zhuo Zitao interacted more frequently. So, their interactions with others were naturally less. On top of that, there were also the “husky” Jiang Lun and the pure and innocent Wu Qingqing. Yun Yue was also a person who didn’t talk much. If they were to categorize the eight guests by how familiar they were with each other, the person Lin Mo and Su Qixi interacted with the least was Yun Yue. Even Lin Mo was a little surprised that Yun Yue chose them.
But Yun Yue just smiled and explained, “I had a chat with Qixi in the pavilion just now. I found that we get along well.”
Su Qixi: “…” I thank you.
Qi Yushan’s heart clenched. That feeling of never being able to have it again began to consume her nerves.
Lin Mo whispered to Su Qixi, “What did you chat about with her?”
Su Qixi: “…” She said bad things about you.
Seeing Su Qixi’s silence, Lin Mo narrowed her eyes and asked again, “Something you can’t tell me?”
Su Qixi: “…We chatted about… our views on love?”
Lin Mo was speechless for a moment. “…In that short amount of time, you were able to chat about all that.”
Yun Yue chose to be in a group with Lin Mo and Su Qixi. Feng Ye then said to the others, “Then Su Qixi’s group is full! Now, please welcome our second-place winners, Jiang Lun, Qi Yushan, and Li Xinling. You can play rock-paper-scissors to decide who gets to choose first.”
Qi Yushan’s face was not looking good at this moment. She had fallen out with Yun Yue, and Yun Yue’s attitude today made her feel even more hopeless. In fact, her manager also didn’t want her to be in a group with Yun Yue anymore. The regrouping today was already negotiated yesterday.
But how to regroup and who to be in a group with, Feng Ye didn’t agree to let her manager choose. So, at night, her manager privately talked to Qi Yushan and told her to try her best to be in a group with Lin Mo and Su Qixi. She said that the two of them had the most popularity right now, and the production team probably wouldn’t separate them for a while. Being with them would give her more screen time and some popularity.
Qi Yushan was very hesitant. She had been struggling between rationally accepting reality and recklessly pursuing love. But just as her manager said, everything she had was hard-earned, and she couldn’t just throw it all away.
So, now that she didn’t get to be on either side, Qi Yushan knew that she would be scolded by her manager at noon.
After Qi Yushan, Jiang Lun, and Li Xinling played rock-paper-scissors, Qi Yushan was first, Li Xinling was second, and Jiang Lun was third.
When the results came out, Feng Ye called Qi Yushan out. “Then, please, Qi Yushan, choose your teammates.”
Qiu Mingyi watched Qi Yushan very nervously. Qi Yushan came back to her senses and focused on choosing her teammates. Her mind started to work again.
Since it was impossible to be with Yun Yue, and the most popular Lin Mo and Su Qixi were also taken, the remaining five people were basically in Qiu Mingyi’s group and Jiang Lun’s group.
Qiu Mingyi and Zhuo Zitao’s CP was not very popular, and there were rumors of their marriage falling apart. The possibility of them splitting up was not small, and more importantly, they didn’t have as much screen time as Jiang Lun.
Looking at Jiang Lun and Wu Qingqing, they had just become popular this year because of a drama. Their CP was very popular right now. Although Jiang Lun’s studio had released a statement saying that the two were just colleagues, the enthusiasm of the CP fans was still there. Since the broadcast started, Jiang Lun didn’t avoid it at all. He was practically telling everyone that he was pursuing her.
Without the Qilin CP as an option, the “Unparalleled” CP was still pretty good.
So, Qi Yushan said, “I choose Wu Qingqing.”
Qiu Mingyi breathed a sigh of relief, but Jiang Lun’s heart sank.
Wu Qingqing looked at Qi Yushan blankly but didn’t say anything. Anyway, her score was low, and she had no say in the matter.
Just as Qi Yushan finished speaking, Li Xinling followed up and said, “Then I’ll choose Wu Qingqing too.”
Jiang Lun: “???” What do you mean by “too”? So casual? If you’re so casual, why don’t you choose Senior Qiu and the others?
Qi Yushan was also stunned and looked at Li Xinling in confusion. “What are you doing, breaking up my CP?”
Li Xinling seemed to have seen their confusion and chuckled, “I did it on purpose.”
Jiang Lun: “!!!”
[Hahahahaha, I’m dying of laughter.]
[Ahhhhhh, my Unparalleled CP ahhhhhhh!]
[Why are you breaking up my CP? Ice cream, come out and die!!!]
[Ice cream is in the fridge and won’t be coming out anytime soon. (#^.^#)]
The CP fans were very hurt, and Jiang Lun was also very hurt. He trembled and raised his hand, pointing at Li Xinling, “You, you, you…”
He said “you” for a long time but couldn’t say a single word. It was clear that the blow was not small.
Li Xinling looked at his thunderstruck expression with a look of disdain. “What’s the rush? I’m a temporary guest. I’ll be gone in a week.”
Jiang Lun plopped down on his knees. He put his hands on the ground, lowered his head, and shook it. “You don’t understand, you don’t understand, you single dog!”
Li Xinling was confused. “??? You’re not a single dog?”
Jiang Lun couldn’t argue, so he could only hang his head in dejection. “Sigh~”
[Hahahahaha, I’m dying of laughter. My Jiang is trying to get rid of being a single dog!]
Qiu Mingyi laughed out loud and pointed at Jiang Lun. “You even got third place, but you’re not as good as me, who came in last!”
He took a closer look and saw that he and Su Qixi were at the very bottom, but both he and Su Qixi were satisfied to be with the people they liked.
On the other hand, Jiang Lun, who could choose, was separated from the person he liked.
When Jiang Lun heard this, he was even sadder. But even though he was sad, he couldn’t let Qiu Mingyi be happy.
He suddenly got up, walked to Zhuo Zitao, and shook her hand up and down. “Senior, please guide me.”
Qiu Mingyi’s laughter stopped with a “ga” sound. He had forgotten that this kid was in the same group as him now…
Zhuo Zitao smiled and patted his shoulder. “You shouldn’t just stare at the younger girls. You should look at us older sisters once in a while! We’re pretty good too.”
Qiu Mingyi: “???” What are you saying, honey?
Not only was Qiu Mingyi dumbfounded, but even Wu Qingqing was dumbfounded.
She looked blankly back and forth between the two groups. Although she hadn’t decided to accept Jiang Lun yet, this was her first time on a variety show, and Jiang Lun had been leading her since the broadcast started. Now that they were suddenly separated, she was a little uncomfortable.
Qi Yushan was also confused. She didn’t know how it turned into this. Looking at Lin Mo’s group, they were all lovey-dovey. Qiu Mingyi’s group was lively. As for her group with Li Xinling and Wu Qingqing, they had nothing to do with each other. She didn’t know how much screen time they would have in the future.
Fortunately, Li Xinling was pretty good at lifting the mood. She immediately said, “We’re not afraid of them. Couple groups are a hassle. When they’re doing tasks, they’re all lovey-dovey and clingy, unlike us, who can focus.”
Su Qixi cursed, “You little girl, what are you talking about?” She didn’t act clingy.
Li Xinling gritted her teeth. “Don’t believe me? Then I’ll be in a group with Lin Mo?”
Su Qixi: “…You’re such a person. I won’t lower myself to your level.”
[Hahahahaha, Ssu backed down too quickly.]
[Is Miss Pig the only one she won’t give up? Ah, I’m so into this.]
[Qilin is real.]
Seeing that the members of the three groups had been initially set and everyone had accepted the new group format, Feng Ye was relieved. He went to look at the comments again…
[I didn’t expect it! Yun Yue actually chose Su Qixi.]
[The Qilin CP definitely won’t be broken up. Lin Mo being number one is no surprise. Plus, their popularity is high. But I thought the next two groups would definitely be broken up.]
[How could they be broken up? No matter which group wins, their first choice will definitely be their own partner!]
[Then Jiang Lun is pretty miserable. He was third place!]
[So, among the four CPs now, the only one that broke up on its own is the one that obviously can’t get back together.]
[It’s okay. Anyway, the Wu Yu CP collapsed, and the CP fans are gone. No one is sad! Hahahahahaha.]
[That’s so cruel, upstairs. They used to be a very popular CP!]
[I beg you guys, Yushan is already miserable enough. Who wants to be in a group with that bitch!]
The comments were still clean, not as full of curses as yesterday.
Feng Ye was completely relieved. As long as it wasn’t a one-sided stream of curses, it was fine. As long as they could discuss things, it was not a big deal. Besides these comments, the rest were all shouts from the Qilin CP fans.
This is good, this is good.
Feng Ye then continued, “The three groups of members need to complete all the activities this week, including but not limited to cooking, shopping, and doing tasks. You are not allowed to isolate any member. I’m specifically calling out Lin Mo and Qiu Mingyi here.”
Lin Mo: “???”
Qiu Mingyi: “??? Are you saying that like a human? I’m an old big brother, a mature man. Would I isolate someone? Jiang Lun, come here. I’ll tell you about cultivating a marriage.”
Jiang Lun: “I wouldn’t dare to listen.” You’re a person who’s about to get a divorce.
“…” Qiu Mingyi paused for a second, then turned to Feng Ye and said, “I want to switch him out. If I can’t switch him out, I’ll isolate him!!!”
[Senior Qiu is so cute, hahahahaha.]
[Peach is with a funny guy like him. The first thing she does when she wakes up every day is laugh, and then she opens her eyes, right?]
Feng Ye was also amused by Qiu Mingyi, but he still explained, “I’m calling you two out because you and your partners have a good relationship. I’m afraid that your relationship is so good that you’ll forget about the third member. Now you’re a trio, so don’t just have a good relationship with your partner. Also, Lin Mo, look at Senior Qiu Mingyi. He’s already showing some affection to Jiang Lun. You should too!”
Lin Mo: “…Affection for isolating Jiang Lun? Should I learn from that?”
Feng Ye: “…Next time, don’t focus on the wrong thing.”
[Hahahahaha, they’re continuing the joke.]
[The focus should be on cultivating a marriage, hahahahaha. Very good, Qilin, get married right now!]
[So, have you thought about how to welcome the new members?]
[Treat her the way she treated Su Qixi back then! Hehehe… I’m okay with a poly relationship.]
[Oh… my… God… Qilin fans, come here. There’s a cult here!]
However, after all this commotion, everyone’s interaction with Yun Yue and Qi Yushan became more natural without them even realizing it.
The awkward ones were Qi Yushan and Yun Yue. As long as the two of them didn’t interact, it seemed like every group could control the atmosphere well. At this moment, Li Xinling realized that choosing to be in the same group as Qi Yushan meant that it would be difficult to interact with Su Qixi’s group.
Li Xinling: “…” Why did I have to join in on the fun just now?!
The group that cooked dinner was decided by the scores from the “Cops and Robbers” game. Lin Mo’s group had 14 points, Li Xinling’s group had 13 points, and Qiu Mingyi’s group had 8 points. Therefore, the people who cooked dinner tonight were Qiu Mingyi’s group, and the order would be used to decide the cooking order for the next day.
Since there was nothing else to do and it was the first day of the new groups, Yun Yue followed Lin Mo and Su Qixi back to the front hall of Mokeju while Qiu Mingyi and the others went to cook.
Since there were new members in the group, they couldn’t do things as they pleased as before. So, after Lin Mo found a seat, she started to discuss with Yun Yue.
Lin Mo: “Usually, Xixi and I are pretty casual after we cook, so I don’t know how to arrange things. What do you think would be a good way to arrange the work if we cook tomorrow?”
Yun Yue was a relatively quiet person. When she chose Su Qixi, she had a bit of an evil intention. However, more than that, she really wanted to see a scenery she had never seen before.
Su Qixi said that people are different. Some people are not worthy, but some are.
Everything she did recklessly showed that she was rushing towards a worthy person.
So, what kind of person was that?
To a large extent, Yun Yue’s choice was indeed because of that conversation. She didn’t believe Su Qixi’s words, but deep down, she couldn’t help but want to see for herself.
She wanted to prove that Su Qixi was wrong, and at the same time, she wanted to prove that Su Qixi was right.
On the first day of their time together, she was just observing for now.
When she heard Lin Mo’s question, Yun Yue was not surprised. Since the beginning of the live broadcast, Lin Mo had always been a polite and proper person. She would try her best to take care of everyone’s needs.
When they were a duo, she said she and Su Qixi were more casual, but in reality, she was doing most of the work, and Su Qixi was her helper.
When they became a trio, Lin Mo respected the new member, took her feelings into consideration, and no longer took on all the work. After all, this was a live broadcast. With the cameras on, being a hard worker was also a good persona. Especially for herself, who was now notorious. If she were to be a slacker in the new group, she would definitely be criticized.
Lin Mo’s question was actually asking for her opinion. In this regard, she was better than Qi Yushan.
Yun Yue took a deep breath and cheered up. “Although I’m not good at cooking, you can ask me to do anything else I can help with.” Yun Yue didn’t have the skills, so she didn’t dare to take on the responsibility of cooking, but she tried to be a hardworking person.
She decided not to feel sorry for herself anymore. She wanted to start over and live her life well. As for whether Lin Mo was really as Su Qixi said she was, she was willing to find out!
Lin Mo nodded and asked again, “We probably need to go shopping tomorrow. We can go together, right?”
This question was probably considering her mindset. The fight with Qi Yushan happened just yesterday, and Qi Yushan’s fans were still angry. It would be a little dangerous for her to go out.
But Yun Yue still nodded. “I can. I’ll go with you.” She couldn’t hide forever, and she wouldn’t let herself hide anymore.
After they finished their discussion, Qiu Mingyi’s group’s dinner was also ready.
After Lin Mo and the others ate the pasta Zhuo Zitao cooked, Feng Ye jumped out again. “This time, the business will also be run by the groups. To adapt to this change, Lin Mo doesn’t need to get up early to make cakes anymore. The three groups will be responsible for coffee, juice, front hall service, and cashier.”
Feng Ye’s suggestion was immediately supported by Zhuo Zitao and Qiu Mingyi. “That’s right! Lin Mo has been working too hard recently. She gets up early and sleeps late.”
Feng Ye immediately said, “Don’t talk nonsense. She doesn’t sleep late.”
Qiu Mingyi sighed, “Those who know, know.”
[Damn, Senior Qiu is really in the front line of shipping!]
[This should be a confirmation that our Qilin is real!]
[Wuwuwuwu, I want to invest in Qilin too.]
In the midst of the commotion and the various imaginings of the Qilin CP fans, today’s filming finally ended.
Everyone went back to their rooms, washed up, and fell into a deep sleep.
Because of the sudden relaxation, Lin Mo didn’t need to get up early the next day. But after getting up early for so long, she couldn’t change her habits all at once.
Lin Mo still woke up early the next morning. To not disturb others’ sleep, Lin Mo got herself ready and then put on the deep V white shirt and tight jeans that Su Qixi bought for her and went downstairs.
The other guests were not up yet. They were probably tired from running yesterday, so they were sleeping especially soundly today.
Lin Mo looked at the fridge and found some grains, frozen food, and two or three lotus roots.
Just as she was thinking about how to prepare breakfast with these, she heard a sound from outside the door. She turned around and saw Yun Yue wearing a blue tracksuit, her long hair in a ponytail, and a little sweat on her face that shouldn’t be there in this weather.
“Did you go for a run?” It was the first time the two of them met early in the morning, and Lin Mo asked out of politeness.
Yun Yue nodded and politely asked her back, “Why are you up so early? Didn’t Director Feng say we weren’t selling cakes anymore yesterday?”
Lin Mo smiled faintly. “My body clock. I can’t change it all at once. I’m used to getting up early.”
Yun Yue understood. She pulled her sleeves up to her elbows and felt less hot. She was about to go upstairs to wash up and change but saw Lin Mo taking some ingredients out of the fridge.
Yun Yue was a little surprised. “Are you going to make breakfast?”
Lin Mo: “Since I’m already up, I might as well do something.”
Yun Yue frowned slightly. In fact, since the filming started, Lin Mo had made breakfast quite a few times. She almost never cared about such things, and her attitude had always been very gentle. On the surface, Lin Mo was as Su Qixi described.
Gentle, generous, tolerant, and loving. She had all the good qualities one could name.
But Yun Yue always felt that Lin Mo was too unreal, too unrealistic.
After thinking about it, Yun Yue still walked over. “I’ll help you!”
Lin Mo didn’t refuse and asked her to help with the corn. Yun Yue was obedient. She did whatever Lin Mo told her to do.
At this moment, Su Qixi on the second floor also slowly woke up…
