The award-winning actor is named Han Qian. He is over forty years old, but his baby face makes him look like he is in his twenties. Apart from the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes that give him a bit of an age-revealing look, you can't tell at all. Liang Shi has also seen his movies, and his acting skills are indeed quite good.
The host is named Qiqi. She is in her thirties and has a very intellectual face. The two have been friends for many years. The first interview the movie star accepted was with Qiqi. Even though they are both married and in relationships, there are still fans online who ship them as a couple, but most of them are just shipping their friendship.
Even a low-budget variety show featuring just the two of them chatting used to get over 100 million views.
Liang Shi stepped forward, introduced himself to them, and then got into the car.
Yang Shuyan had worked with both Han Qian and Qi Qi before, so the atmosphere wasn't awkward. After getting into the car, the host also called on Yang Shuyan, asking her what she had been busy with lately and why she came to the show, etc.
Liang Shi is the only one who is like a transparent person. She has no works and no fans. She just came to the variety show. Liang Shi can imagine that the program team will put a note next to her: "New generation actress".
Yes, a new generation of actors without any notable works.
I never imagined that after doing this for so many years, I would have to start all over again.
Qiqi didn't want Liang Shi to feel awkward, so she started a conversation by asking her how she felt about the place and what she wanted to eat for dinner. She even complained to them about the show's tricks, and Liang Shi responded politely.
It took an hour to drive from the airport to the recording location.
It was already dark when we arrived at the recording house.
However, this place is truly beautiful. It has one kind of scenery when the sun sets, and another kind of beauty when night falls.
Liang Shi took many photos.
That young man with the big fan base is very handsome, with a feminine kind of beauty. According to the information, he is an Omega named Bai Yu.
When Liang Shi arrived, he greeted them all, but one person was still missing.
As soon as Qiqi entered the door, she asked, "Where did Ranran go?"
Bai Yu shrugged: "She seems to have an upset stomach."
"What did you eat?" Qiqi frowned. "Did you cook?"
Bai Yu: "...It wasn't me...Okay, it was me, but I made it for myself, who knew she ate it."
"It's my fault for being clumsy." A sweet female voice came out, with a hint of weakness: "I accidentally mixed up my food with Xiaobai's."
Then the figure slowly walked out, clutching his stomach, his face pale.
She wore a high ponytail, with wispy bangs making her look a little tired. She was dressed in a light gray tracksuit, giving her a rather sunny and youthful appearance.
Liang Shi's expression changed.
"How are you?" Qiqi stepped forward with concern. "I have some stomach medicine, would you like some?"
"What if giving her that makes it worse?" Bai Yu said, "Just give her more hot water, right?"
Qiqi: "..."
"Xiao Bai," Qi Qi said helplessly, "Has anyone ever told you that you deserve a beating?"
Bai Yu awkwardly touched the tip of her nose. "Is something wrong?"
Han Qian patted him on the shoulder: "Someone has to pour the hot water for you, right?"
"I'll go." Bai Yu put one hand in her pocket and was about to leave, but after taking a couple of steps, she turned back and asked somewhat shyly, "Sister Shuyan, do you want to come along?"
Yang Shuyan: "?"
"No need," Yang Shuyan politely declined. "I need to pack my things first."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yu immediately stepped forward to help her lift her suitcase, but couldn't manage it, leading to an awkward moment.
Yang Shuyan patted his shoulder: "Alright, go play somewhere else."
It was only when Bai Yu got closer that Liang realized he looked familiar, and Bai Yu did too. After pointing at her for a few seconds, he said, "We've met before, haven't we?"
Liang Shi: "...It seems so."
"A few days ago," Yang Shuyan said helplessly, "at the wedding."
"Ah! I remember now!" Bai Yu said, "I know who it is."
Liang Shi: "I know who it is now."
Because there were cameras around, Bai Yu didn't reveal too much information about Liang Shi, and the two of them just kept talking in suspense.
The riddle left everyone completely baffled, and even the usually easygoing Han Qian couldn't help but ask, "You all know each other?"
Liang Shi nodded: "This is thanks to our mutual friend who got married a few days ago."
Bai Yu said, "Don't even mention it. She disappeared as soon as she got married. I can't find her at all."
"He hasn't gone to work at all," Liang Shi said. "He's probably on his honeymoon."
“Other people’s honeymoons are only a month long,” Bai Yu rolled her eyes. “She’s been going on for almost two months.”
"It seems I went back to work today," Liang Shi said. "You can contact me tonight if you need anything, but... it's best if nothing comes up."
Bai Yu: "Why?"
Liang Shi: "They... must all be busy with work."
Bai Yu: "...?"
Liang Shi had his own selfish motives.
After their honeymoon, Sally and Lin Luoxi were naturally very busy back at the company.
That would help Xu Qingzhu with a lot of things.
Because we had mutual friends, the conversation went quite well.
Bai Yu isn't as bad-tempered as rumored; she's just a bit childish. At only twenty-one, she's quite young.
Later, Liang Shi heard Yang Shuyan say that Bai Yu was the child of a friend of Lin Luoxi's parents. He had stayed at Lin Luoxi's house for a period of time when he was a child. When they played together, he was always following her around.
Because he knew people there, Liang Shi was less reserved.
The most crucial person is Liang Xinran.
I had heard Liang Wanwan mention it before, but I didn't expect to meet her on a variety show. She seems to know her strengths quite well. Her acting skills are not good, so she goes directly to variety shows to improve her public image.
As it turns out, her social skills are even more effective in variety shows, and everyone likes her quite a bit. Even the staff members say that this young lady has no airs at all.
The biggest sponsor was a famous brand under Dongheng, so most of the product placements were done by Liang Xinran.
While eating dinner, Qiqi mentioned, "Liang Shi and Liang Xinran, you two have the same surname."
Liang Xinran smiled and said, "Yes, it's quite a coincidence."
Liang Shi felt uncomfortable, but only responded with a faint smile.
That evening, rooms were assigned, and Liang Shi shared a room with Yang Shuyan.
There were also cameras in the room. Yang Shuyan and Liang Shi had a few formal conversations, enough to make footage, and then they covered the cameras, turning it into their private space.
Yang Shuyan then went straight to the point and asked, "Do you have a grudge against Liang Xinran?"
“It’s not really a grudge,” Liang Shi said. “It’s probably more like an grudge…”
Yang Shuyan: "?"
"It's a rather complicated matter." Liang Shi asked, "What's wrong?"
Yang Shuyan was taken aback: "It's best not to show it on the show, and also, avoid her a bit."
Liang Shi countered, "Is it because you brought your own funding to the production team?"
“Hmm.” Yang Shuyan said, “She has Dongheng behind her, and the current Dongheng is quite ruthless. Although you have Xu Qingzhu, it’s best not to make a scene in public. It’s not good for either you or Xu Qingzhu.”
Liang Shi: "..."
Hearing these words, I felt a mix of emotions.
However, Liang Shi knew that Yang Shuyan was doing it for his own good, so he thanked her and asked, "Did Sister Ying ask you to take care of me?"
She didn't quite believe that Yang Shuyan was being so kind.
Yang Shuyan had already changed into her pajamas and casually lay down on the bed: "Yeah, she likes you quite a bit."
Liang Shi joked, "She seems to like you more, doesn't she?"
Yang Shuyan glanced sideways upon hearing this, and after a long while, she smiled lightly and asked, "What do you like about me?"
Liang Shi shrugged: "How would I know? I'll have to ask Sister Ying."
After Liang Shi finished speaking, he sent Xu Qingzhu a message: 【Are you asleep?】
Xu Qingzhu: [Waiting for you.]
Liang Shi: [What time did you get home today?]
Xu Qingzhu: [8 o'clock.]
Liang Shi: [What did you eat?]
Xu Qingzhu: [Roast duck.]
Liang Shi subconsciously typed two words, intending to praise someone as "great," but before sending them, he suddenly wondered what was going on. He deleted them all and then edited: "With whom?"
Xu Qingzhu: [Lu Jiayi, and... her fiancée.]
Liang Shi: [Is it really a subscription?]
Xu Qingzhu nodded: "Yes."
Liang Shi made a video call to her, but Xu Qingzhu's line was busy.
She waited two seconds, just as she was about to call again, when Xu Qingzhu called back.
In the video, Xu Qingzhu is leaning against the headboard, wearing a pink nightgown, which she bought when the two of them went shopping and "hurt each other" last time.
Because Liang Shi said that Xu Qingzhu didn't have many pink clothes, Xu Qingzhu replied that she didn't have any either.
So the two of them bought two outfits together, matching couple outfits.
"Who are you calling?" Xu Qingzhu asked. "Is Teacher Liang this busy when she's out?"
"Here you go," Liang Shi said, "but your line was busy."
Xu Qingzhu: "..."
Unable to find a reason to argue, they put it aside.
Xu Qingzhu excitedly gossiped to Liang Shi: "Lu Jiayi's fiancée is so beautiful."
