I've Gone Viral Because of a Money-Saving Variety Show-Chapter 272 - 266: Working Three Jobs a Day Just to Flex After Returning to China?
Chapter 272: Chapter 266: Working Three Jobs a Day Just to Flex After Returning to China?
Chen Xixi reflexively raised her other hand, clenched into a fist, and immediately aimed for the other person’s abdomen, but luckily Zhou Jinyuan reacted quickly, reaching out to stop her attacking wrist.
The gaze of the two people intertwined in the flickering light cast by the screen, filling the quiet air with an awkward atmosphere.
"..."
Chen Xixi let out an awkward laugh.
The movie was at a critical moment and she was in a state of high tension. Suddenly someone touched her, making it hard for her not to do something to protect herself.
Zhou Jinyuan looked at her with a half smile, "If it were anyone else, they would be on their way to the hospital by now."
Chen Xixi lowered her eyelashes and looked at her hand wrapped in the man’s large palm. The warmth from his palm slowly transferred to her skin, causing her cheeks to heat up slightly. She cleared her throat unnaturally, "Sorry, I was too engrossed in the movie and mistook you for a ghost."
Zhou Jinyuan slowly let go of her hand, "I thought you were scared."
Could she say that she wasn’t really scared by the movie, but his touch just now truly frightened her?
Anyone in a state of high alert being suddenly approached or touched by a stranger would reflexively awaken an uncontrollable self-defense instinct.
Chen Xixi withdrew her hand and said seriously, "I have a defense system. Next time you come close to me, give me a heads up to avoid accidental injury."
Zhou Jinyuan chuckled, "It seems I need to quickly buy some extra insurance for emergencies."
Just as Chen Xixi was about to speak again, Zhou Jinyuan suddenly asked with curiosity, "When Hu Yun was pulling you, why didn’t I see you react so strongly?"
"She was startling me constantly and I wasn’t really focused on the movie, and..."
And subconsciously, she felt that Hu Yun’s danger quotient wasn’t as strong as the danger quotient exuded by Zhou Jinyuan.
Of course, she couldn’t say that out loud. It would ruin the rapport they had as partners.
Zhou Jinyuan saw her hesitant to continue and raised an eyebrow, "And what?"
He vaguely felt that whatever Chen Xixi was withholding, it was definitely not something pleasant for him, so the smile on his face gradually faded.
Although he had lightly mentioned they were starting anew, in his world, she had never truly disappeared.
Thinking that she had always been resistant towards him, he could not help but feel somewhat unhappy.
Chen Xixi’s eyes curved into a sweet smile, "And I’ve never watched a movie alone with someone of the opposite sex before, so I’m a bit unaccustomed to it."
Then Chen Xixi saw Zhou Jinyuan smile at her response, clearly pleased.
[Could this be the legendary combative couple? Almost got into a fight in the middle of a date hahaha!]
[President Zhou: Next time when going on a date with Chen Xixi, remember to wear armor.]
[President Zhou actually took the initiative to hold Chen Xixi’s hand! Ahhh! President Zhou definitely has a crush on Chen Xixi!]
[It’s all scripted, which reality show doesn’t play up the CP (couple pairings)? Calm down, chill out.]
[Does President Zhou need to play up the CP?]
[Not sure about playing up the CP, but what does President Zhou see in Chen Xixi? Not gentle and quite stingy, besides being pretty and smart, what are her merits? President Zhou once couldn’t even get a decent meal when with her, what does he see in her? Is it just to experience hardship with her?]
[Maybe President Zhou has never experienced hardship in his life and fell in love with living through hard times with Chen Xixi?]
[The person above, did you laugh when you typed out this line?]
Right after, Chen Xixi and Zhou Jinyuan, this CP with no CP feeling, hit the trending searches.
It totally shocked the netizens!
[What the heck? Chen Xixi? Isn’t that the stingy woman from the variety show before? How could President Zhou possibly take a fancy to her? Can you gossip accounts stop chasing clout and give us something real instead of all this nonsense!]
[Yeah, if those two could get together, I’d livestream myself eating shit!]
[Gossip has it that Chen Xixi’s family used to be somewhat wealthy, but then they got wrecked by the Zhou Family, it was pretty tragic. So there’s no way those two could get together, they’ve got a family feud between them!]
[Holy shit?! For real? So does Chen Xixi know this or not? Otherwise, I feel like that punch from Chen Xixi just now should have been aimed straight at President Zhou’s life gate!]
[Is there a possibility that Chen Xixi’s punch just now was on purpose?]
[Very likely, so with that said, there’s no way they could end up together!]
Unaware of the online discussion about their families’ old grudges and grievances, the main characters in question were still watching the movie.
Even more bizarre, some gossip accounts took this tidbit of gossip and spun an 800-word mini essay out of it, mainly detailing the historical feud between the Chen and Zhou families!
And it was a feud spanning three generations! Full of melodrama!
Netizens expressed: It’s probably even more thrilling than a novel!
[And that Mr. Jin from the frugal variety show before, my friend said he was high school classmates with Mr. Jin, heard that Mr. Jin’s family is super rich, a consummate wastrel, it’s just unclear exactly which family he’s from.]
[Impossible! The one above must be a marketing account hyping things up, right? My friend went to Germany on a trip a few days ago. Yesterday afternoon, at a restaurant, he even saw Jin Cheng washing dishes in kitchen staff clothing! My friend even got an autograph and a photo with him!] freēnovelkiss.com
[Look at my IP, last night I went to a burger place, saw Jin Cheng serving tables there! — IP Germany.]
[Working in a foreign country, washing dishes in the afternoon and serving tables at night to make money, then coming back home to pose as a rich second generation? Jin Cheng is pretty impressive!]
[No, no, no! The day before yesterday, I saw Jin Cheng washing cars at a car wash. — IP Germany.]
[This guy, for the sake of his rich second-generation facade, is working three jobs at once just to come back and show off in the country! Awesome!]
[If I had half of Jin Cheng’s drive, I guess I’d be a rich second-gen by now!]
After netizens’ discussion, the triangle relationship had reached a conclusion.
Zhou Jinyuan and Chen Xixi, an enmity as deep as the sea.
Jin Cheng, working frantically abroad to make money, all for coming back home to boast and create his rich second-generation persona.
In the variety show.
Chen Xixi and Zhou Jinyuan continued to peacefully watch the movie, while Hu Yun beside them didn’t dare to disturb Chen Xixi and Zhou Jinyuan anymore.
Too scary, Chen Xixi actually wanted to date her, this woman is just too terrifying, she wanted to stay away from her!
When she got back, she was going to tell her stepfather to get her a different apartment!
She couldn’t live in the same apartment as Chen Xixi anymore, it was too dangerous!
Zheng He, observing Hu Yun’s petrified demeanor, quickly seized the opportunity, grabbed Hu Yun’s hand, and showed off his masculine charm!
Actually, Zheng He was a bit scared too; he was afraid of the dark and didn’t really dare to watch horror movies, but in front of a beautiful woman, he naturally couldn’t show any cowardice, otherwise, it would hurt his manly dignity!
Zheng He suppressed the excitement at the corner of his mouth and tried to speak calmly: "If you’re scared, you can hold on to me."
