I’ve Gone Viral Because of a Money-Saving Variety Show

[Wan Chen actually doesn’t know that booking rooms through mobile is cheaper? Has he barely ever stepped outside?]
[Han Qianyi and Wan Chen probably haven’t seen Chen Xixi’s situation. If they knew, they’d definitely be green with envy. And Zheng He, poor Zheng He, holding onto over 5,000 yuan yet having to live under a bridge, haha!]
[Compared to them, Jin Cheng is wise, holding onto the right coattails!]
…
This night, is destined to be a restless one.
Some people spend no money at all, comfortably sitting in hot springs, eating freshly cut fruit platter.
Some are lying on the soft bed of a budget hotel, agonizing over the room cost of 168 yuan, tossing and turning.
Others lie beside the road near an underpass, becoming a feast for mosquitoes. No matter how sleepy or uncomfortable, they dare not close their eyes, fearing their money might be stolen, or something unclean lurks nearby.
Day 20 of the livestream.
Chen Xixi had soaked in the hot springs before sleeping last night, having barely rested the past two days, she slept exceptionally well last night.
But she was woken up by someone knocking on her door before she could wake naturally.
Chen Xixi asked groggily who it was, and upon hearing it was breakfast delivery, she opened the door.
The server placed the breakfast on the table inside Chen Xixi’s room and then politely said, “This is from our manager, she also mentioned it’s a complimentary breakfast from our deluxe homestay, please enjoy.”
Chen Xixi smiled appreciatively: “Thank you, and please thank your manager for me too.”
[I think the manager of this homestay is really nice!]
[Chen Xixi is neatly sitting inside the homestay eating breakfast, whereas Zheng He is squatting beside the curb, disheveled, eating boxed meals. This disparity, feels like in the same show, suddenly there is a representation of a lady’s life and a beggar.]
[The new frugality king isn’t doing too well! Back when Chen Xixi was the reigning frugality queen, she enjoyed the best life, how come it’s pitiful when it’s Zheng He’s turn!]
[Hahaha, he doesn’t have the capability!]
[Will we see tonight if Zheng He’s money is still there? I need to hurry to his livestream to see the outcome!]
Budget hotel.
Han Qianyi, because she spent all night thinking about the free homestay, barely slept last night.
Thinking how she spent 168 yuan on a hotel while Chen Xixi didn’t spend a dime to stay in a hot spring homestay, not to mention her popularity surged as if boosted by steroids, taking the popularity top spot once again, her heart was nearly twisting with jealousy.
Why does all the good stuff happen to Chen Xixi?
Why doesn’t she get anything despite working hard?
It must be Chen Xixi pulling some clever tricks to win over the internet fans again.
Just like the dance incident before, making a fool of herself just to capture the audience’s attention.
She’ll expose Chen Xixi’s hypocritical facade sooner or later!
Having barely slept all night, Han Qianyi thought for a while, then got up to freshen up and went out to find Wan Chen.
Han Qianyi knocked several times before Wan Chen opened the door, seeing him looking sleep-deprived she couldn’t help asking, “Didn’t you sleep well last night?”
Wan Chen had a restless night because of Chen Xixi.
He had his own ways to come out on top, but ever since the show started, the money-free living of Chen Xixi seemed better than his sponsored lifestyle. Compared to Chen Xixi, he felt like a sucker, how could he be comfortable with that?
Wan Chen didn’t bother explaining to Han Qianyi, feeling like she and Zheng He were similar, not too bright, he just responded indifferently: “Hmm.”
Han Qianyi softly smiled and tentatively asked, “Did you see the news about Chen Xixi staying free at the hot spring homestay last night?”
“Hmm.”
Han Qianyi suggested, “Let’s find Zheng He together later, and then we can join him in staying at the hot spring homestay.”
She couldn’t just freeload shamelessly like Chen Xixi, so the best tactic of course was to use shameless Zheng He as the spearhead while she tagged along to benefit.
Though Han Qianyi didn’t spell out her intent in finding Zheng He, Wan Chen wasn’t dumb and quickly grasped her plan.
Wan Chen glanced at the time, it was only eight in the morning, “Alright, but I read online that Zheng He will be under the bridge till evening, we don’t need to hurry, let’s rest a bit more and find Zheng He when it’s time to check out.”
168 yuan was already spent; if they didn’t stay until checkout time, he’d feel even more aggrieved…
Even Han Qianyi found Wan Chen’s reasoning sound, 168 yuan indeed, they must stay until check-out time, otherwise it’s a waste of money!
