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

Wan Chen felt that this segment was practically designed to torture him.
He held it in, but finally couldn’t bear it any longer. Just as he was about to say “Can’t you talk properly?”, Han Qianyi seemed to read his complex emotions from his face, and silently mouthed the words: For the points.
“…” Alright, he decided to endure a little longer.
Wan Chen stretched his lips into a smile: “Let’s go.”
Not knowing where to wander, there’s not much to see in the village, and going to the city market, their money was confiscated by the show crew, so they could only just stroll around, have a look at the cornfields, watch other people shepherd sheep.
Zheng He turned his head to look at Hu Yun beside him and asked with a smile: “Do you want to go for a walk?”
Hu Yun really wanted to roll her eyes at him!
They hadn’t even had their fill of food, what would they browse, browse with their mouths?
She covered her disgusted expression, curved her eyes, and suggested: “How about we just sit in the yard and enjoy the sunshine?”
Zheng He looked up at the scorching sun above and frowned slightly: “Isn’t it too sunny?”
Hu Yun was speechless, but had to put on a sweet facade. She kept counseling herself that it was just like acting in a drama, but still couldn’t stand the person she was playing the scene with, which annoyed her greatly. She needed a lot of determination to persuade herself to continue acting.
“Then where do you suggest we go? We don’t have any money.”
Not even points, their pockets emptier than their faces.
Zheng He didn’t answer but instead turned his head to glance at Chen Xixi.
He had never taken a girl on a date before, so he wanted to see where the equally broke Chen Xixi would go on a date.
Moreover, Chen Xixi’s ideas were generally well-liked by the netizens, a bitter lesson he had learned from his previous experience in the frugal variety shows!
Chen Xixi herself was clueless about where to go on a date because she genuinely lacked dating experience.
However, if she didn’t flaunt her affection quickly, the netizens’ votes would definitely not be cast for her later!
With a sense of crisis creeping up, Chen Xixi closed her eyes and when she opened them again, it was as if she had made up her mind.
Just do it!
She looked up at Zhou Jinyuan, trying her best to convey her affection with the deepest look in her eyes, and her smile was sweet: “Shall we go for a drive?”
At the same time, in her mind, she was silently chanting points points I want lots of points!
Please, give her a close-up shot right now!
Don’t let her act in vain!
Let the netizens have a good look at the love that’s about to overflow from her eyes!
This is all her love for points!!
How could Zhou Jinyuan not see through her intentions; it was almost like ‘Points, I love you’ was inscribed on her face.
He chuckled lightly, leaned in closer, and whispered in her ear: “Alright, points will take you for a drive now.”
Chen Xixi’s eyes instantly sparkled, her face beaming with joy.
Truly worthy of being a big boss, he really knows the score!
She just loves people who catch on quick!
Their proximity closed in, and on camera, it seemed to create an illusion of ambiguity.
Prompting the netizens to scream excitedly.
[Ahhh! President Zhou actually moved in closer on his own!]
[Is this close enough to kiss? Three seconds have passed, won’t anyone help push their heads together!]
[What is President Zhou saying, is he confessing? Can you speak up, let us all hear it!]
[I’ve been saying President Zhou has a thing for Chen Xiaokou!! Look! I was right! Otherwise, why would he always pair up with Chen Xiaokou! Ahhh! I’m starting to ship them!]
[They must be acting for points, right? You all actually believe this?]
[I don’t care, I just want to ship them! I feel that President Zhou treats Chen Xixi differently than others! They’re such a great pair to ship!]
[Weren’t they supposed to be enemies? Enemies turn into lovers? Are they tired of living and want the other to give a helping hand?]
[All that news has vanished now, probably just rumors, how many online gossips are actually true.]
Ten minutes later, Chen Xixi emerged from the village chief’s home with an electric bike.
Stopping in front of Zhou Jinyuan, she straddled the bike seat, one foot on the pedal, the other bracing on the ground, and patted the seat behind her with a cocky smile, “Get on.”
Before Zhou Jinyuan got on, he suddenly asked, “Are your biking skills up to par?”
Chen Xixi lifted her chin slightly, a touch of pride in her expression, “I can’t vouch for four-wheelers, but when it comes to two-wheelers… let’s just say, I’ve ridden bikes more than you’ve ridden in cars.”
You could question whether she had ever driven a car, but two-wheelers were simply her comfort zone, her Ferrari, the essential artifact for beginning and ending each day’s battles!
Zhou Jinyuan stepped his long legs over and sat on the back seat of the electric bike, his feet on the pedals, with his lengthy legs awkwardly bent outwards in discomfort.
Chen Xixi reminded him, “Make sure you sit tight, this thing doesn’t have seat belts. I trust my riding skills, but I can’t say the same for others.”
There were quite a few of those kinds, even if you stood steady on the roadside, they could “precisely” crash into you, and for that, she couldn’t do much.
She had Zhou Jinyuan sit on the back because she felt that someone like him probably had little experience with electric bikes; hence, she took the initiative to be the driver and reminded him to hold on tightly.
“Alright.”
After Zhou Jinyuan responded, Chen Xixi felt her clothes around her waist being gently tugged.
Looking down, she saw a pair of hands with well-defined knuckles grasping her clothes with propriety.
Chen Xixi thought it was fine, but also worried about the quality of the clothes provided by the show crew. She turned back to look at Zhou Jinyuan and instructed seriously, “If something happens, just hold on to me, don’t rip my clothes right off.”
Zhou Jinyuan looked down slightly at his knees, which were so humbly bent, and said calmly, “No worries, if there really is an accident, I can also do an emergency stop.”
He could even put his feet on the ground and stand up right where he was, abandoning Chen Xixi and the bike to save himself, though of course, he wouldn’t actually do that.
The reason he thought this way was that he felt the little electric bike was pretty much like a toy car to him.
Hearing this, Chen Xixi glanced at Zhou Jinyuan’s bent legs.
They were good legs, but it was indeed a bit pitiful to sit on such a small bike. She comforted him, “The village chief and his bike aren’t home, this is what his wife uses to pick up the kids from school. So, you’ll have to endure a bit of discomfort for now.”
“Okay, let’s go.”
Zheng He, accompanied by Hu Yun, pretended to wander about and upon seeing Chen Xixi take the electric bike out for a ride, he suddenly felt a bit of Heartbeat.
It’s free, doesn’t wear you out, and also lets a female celebrity cling to his waist. The more he thought about it, the better the idea seemed.
Zheng He also went from house to house trying to borrow a bike; these small electric bikes are not difficult to borrow in the countryside.
Soon enough, Zheng He also managed to borrow a small electric bike, with Hu Yun sitting behind, clenching her teeth to maintain a smile while holding onto Zheng He’s waist.
With its many small alleys, the countryside posed a risk of accidents, so Chen Xixi drove slowly. It wasn’t long before Zheng He caught up, smugly humming a tune to himself.
Chen Xixi could faintly make out the melody of ‘She’s holding my waist, she’s holding my waist; you don’t have our love, you don’t have love’ coming from Zheng He’s humming.
