Two days later, seven motorhomes arrived one after another at the small fishing village designated for filming. A group of celebrities appeared before the cameras, pulling their suitcases along.
[Guan Ying is truly an ageless goddess. Honestly, you could say she’s 30 and no one would blink!]
[Oh my god, can anyone relate? Meng Lian was my childhood celebrity crush; seeing him now, he’s even more masculine and mature.]
[There were rumors about Song Beichen and Shi Youran being intimate, and I have to say, they look like a real couple. They even have matching suitcases—one blue, one red. I’m boarding this ship!]
[To the person above, red and blue are the classic couple colors. You aren't alone.]
[Shushu’s daughter is just too adorable! Come here, let Mommy give you a hug.]
[Wang Qiang is so radiant. An 185cm tall athlete who can rap? Who even knows? I’m losing it today.]
[Wait? Why am I seeing a screen full of flying underwear the moment I enter the livestream?]
[How does Xiao Sese have the nerve to stand there? Isn't she buried in lawsuits?]
[Director Niu has lost his integrity in his old age; he's starting to force-feed the audience garbage.]
[Xiao Trash is truly hated by everyone; she’s ruined the whole vibe.]
...
Director Niu looked at the surge in traffic and nodded with satisfaction.
"Ahem, everyone, welcome to the set of 'Break the Limit Challenge.' First, you need to open your suitcases and leave behind anything unrelated to the recording. We will keep them safe for you and return them once the program ends."
[Wow! Unpacking! Does that mean I’ll get to see Beichen’s underwear?]
[To the person above, if you want to see underwear, I’ll show you mine. Can you show me what I want to see?]
[What a creep! Get them out of here!]
...
The seven people before the cameras were bewildered. They hadn't been told they would have to unpack!
Urged on by the director, Meng Lian was the first to open his suitcase.
[This is the charm of a mature man; his case is neater than my face.]
[That’s just the charm of being old. Hey beautiful, I’m the same age as Meng Lian, want to consider me?]
[Get lost, you greasy old lecher!]
On camera, Meng Lian scratched his head, looking embarrassed. "Sorry, there’s nothing much in here. It’s a bit dull."
Next was the suitcase of the "Best Actress" winner, Guan Ying. It was equally tidy, save for a bag containing a breast pump and some storage bags.
"Apologies, my child is still quite young."
[Sigh, this is the struggle of a working mom.]
[I’m really moved by her motherly love. It must be exhausting for Guan Ying to balance her career and family.]
[Go Guan Ying! We’ll always support you!]
[Fly brave, Guan Ying! Every hurdle you face, you'll overcome!]
When it was Song Beichen’s turn, he hesitated for a moment before leaning toward Shi Youran and asking in a whisper, "What’s the unlock code?"
""
Though they tried to be quiet, they were both wearing microphones, so the viewers heard everything.
[Wow! I ship it! Shi Youran knows Song Beichen’s passcode!]
[Don’t tell me Shi Youran organized his things for him?]
[I declare it! The 'Chen-Shi' ship has officially set sail!]
[Since that’s the case, why not have them open their bags at the same time? Let’s see if they have other matching items.]
[I second that!]
Seeing the comments, Director Niu read the audience's suggestion out loud.
Shi Youran, looking sheepish, deftly entered the code. Sure enough, it matched Song Beichen’s.
"Everyone, don't misunderstand. These were all provided by the company; it’s perfectly normal for them to be the same."
After speaking, she shyly smoothed her hair and cast a secret glance at Song Beichen.
Just as the screen began to fill with pink bubbles, a loud "clatter" echoed through the air as Xiao Sese flipped her table—no, her suitcase.
Clothes, skirts, and strange-colored oversized bags spilled out all over the floor.
Song Beichen indignantly asked, "What... what is the meaning of this? The two of us haven't even finished unpacking yet!"
"Don't rush, I’m just looking for something."
After saying that, Xiao Sese pulled four beautifully packaged flowers from a large bag and handed them to the other guests.
"Sorry, I’m a bit introverted. I didn't even dare to work at my desk. Please bear with me from now on~"
By the time she reached Shi Youran and Song Beichen, Xiao Sese spread her empty hands—out of flowers!
The two stared at her, stunned. The air turned heavy.
"It’s fine. They’re just flowers; they’ll grow on your graves eventually."
Xiao Sese waved her hand with a flourish, speaking with grand, heroic conviction.
"What is your problem? Are you targeting us?"
Xiao Sese widened her eyes. "Targeting? Am I not being nice to you?! Did I stab you with a knife? No, right?"
"..."
Song Beichen was fuming. The romantic atmosphere he had worked so hard to build was ruined.
The stream comments:
[So bold! Doesn't she know whose show this is? Don't give someone like her any screen time!]
[Is she going to suffocate if she doesn't get a shot by hogging the spotlight?]
[Xiao Trash is so disrespectful!]
Xiao Sese noticed the screen displaying the comments beneath the camera and calmly brushed her hair.
"Who goes first doesn't matter. I came here to shatter your self-esteem into pieces."
"Forget it, Beichen. Since she’s so eager to open hers, let her go first."
[Oh my, Youran is so beautiful and has such a good personality, she even endured that.]
[It really highlights the gap between her and some other people.]
[By the way, what exactly did Xiao Trash bring? Costumes for a Northeastern folk dance troupe?]
[To the person above, don't smear Northeasterners; we don't have such ugly aesthetics.]
As the camera panned over, Director Niu noticed a conspicuous object in the suitcase. He walked over to touch it; it was hard. Realizing what it might be, he began frantically shoving it deeper into the bag.
"Director Niu, that’s my treasure! I can't sleep at night without it. Why don't you take it out and share it with everyone?"
The director was sweating bullets.
"No need, no need. We need to protect the guests' privacy."
"It’s fine, just take it!"
"I really can't accept this."
"Just take it, think of it as a gift for the children!"
As the two tugged back and forth, the onlookers suddenly had a sense of déjà vu, as if it were the Spring Festival. They almost expected a celebrity like Feng Gong to pop out while wrapping dumplings and say, "Friends, I’ve missed you so much!"
During the struggle, the cylindrical object flew out of the cloth bag as if it had a life of its own, tracing a graceful arc through the air, seemingly whispering:
"You two idiots~ Daddy’s leaving first!"
Watching the flesh-colored object fly through the air, the director’s heart—finally stopped.
Xiao Sese rushed over, picked it up, blew off the dust, popped open the pink lid adorned with a piglet, and pulled out a set of miniature wooden fish and a straw doll.
Director Niu: "...!!!"
*Thank you for sparing my life!*
Xiao Sese didn't notice the director's face shifting from pale to red; she just kept explaining.
"Tap this at night, and I guarantee your heart will become as still as water, and all your illnesses will vanish. As for this straw doll, whoever messes with me gets their birth date written on it, and I’ll poke it with eight hundred needles a day."
[Laughing to death. Between acting and taking action, this girl chose to cast spells.]
[Don't you think Director Niu's reaction earlier was a bit strange?]
[Could it be he associated it with something inappropriate?]
[Don't say it, don't say it! I took a screenshot. Under the blur, this box really looks ambiguous.]
"Director Niu, what were you afraid of just now?"
The director wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and gave an awkward smile to Xiao Sese. "Let’s... let’s not engage in feudal superstition, shall we?"
Xiao Sese watched the sweating director thoughtfully, then turned to rummage through her suitcase again.
"No, no, we’re short on time, let's not look at any more!"
Just as Director Niu rushed over to stop her, Xiao Sese turned and handed him a bottle.
"I prepared this for my artists before, but since I don't need it now, you can have it. This is a real treasure! Famous far and wide, treats kidney deficiency, and it's sugar-free."
...
Silence... deafening silence...
[Hahaha!!! Qiwei Dihuang Pill!!!]
[I don't like watching people act crazy, but for someone this unhinged, I have to see how it plays out.]
[If I recall correctly, she only manages two artists, right? Song Beichen and Shi Youran. So these Dihuang pills...]
[Don't look, Song Beichen! It’s a hate comment!]
[It’s okay, it’s okay~]
At the same time, the topics #QiweiDihuangPill# and #SongBeichenAndDirectorNiuKidneyDeficiency# and #GoodStuffForYouToEat# began trending.
The flagship store for the Qiwei Dihuang Pill, seeing this heaven-sent fortune, didn't even have time to hire a streamer; their CEO went live to promote the product personally. The livestream even created a cardboard cutout of Xiao Sese, claiming they wanted to hire her as their brand ambassador and offer her their full support.
