Chapter 253 You Won't Drink Your Way to Death
Sometimes the world is just that strange. When you're stuck in the deepest trough, desperately clinging to the hope of survival, the result is that you sink deeper and deeper.
And when you no longer need them, these wonderful things will rush towards you again.
"No need, just cancel them all for me, thank you." Su Ran's voice carried a faint nonchalance.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Jue also had to act as a manager during the filming of the program.
"It wouldn't be right to refuse the boss's invitation." Zhong Jue put down the thick stack of invitation documents in his hand, which included advertising endorsements, film and television shooting, and fashion banquets that countless celebrities would fight to attend.
“Give me a reason to go.” Su Ran raised an eyebrow. Usually, Zhong Jue wouldn’t force her if she refused, but this time he brought it up again.
In truth, Zhong Jue wasn't entirely sure why An Yecheng insisted on involving Su Ran. But during the call, he only said one thing: Su Ran would definitely be interested.
"What are the details of the activity?" Sure enough, Su Ran asked.
She doesn't need to use the system to look up everything; she prefers to challenge the unknown rather than something that's immediately obvious.
"It's said that something strange was unearthed at the newly developed harbor in Shenzhen." Zhong Jue didn't know what was unearthed either. He secretly sent people to inquire, but the secrecy measures were too strict, and he couldn't find out any information.
Shenzhen Stock Exchange?
Su Ran's powerful memory summoned a face of a deceased person in her mind.
Liu Nana.
Have you found her yet?
The little butterfly hid the divine essence in its palm and quietly approached Su Ran.
The divine essence drew closer and closer to Su Ran, and the entire pearl body shook violently in the little butterfly's palm.
"Shh, keep it down! Don't let the host find us!" The little butterfly clenched her fingers tightly, warning fiercely, "Be careful, or you'll be a godless being for life!"
The bead in my palm stopped moving and lay there obediently, just like it was dead.
The little butterfly breathed a sigh of relief and turned to sneak in, but as soon as she looked up, she was met with a face that was stunningly beautiful and flawless.
"What mischief are you up to?" the man asked, his voice full of curiosity.
The little butterfly breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, it wasn't a host. If it were, the electrocardiogram sensor would have locked it in the dark room again.
At the same time, it was heartbroken and tearful inside. It worked so hard to hide its own selfish thoughts. It often went crazy inside, regardless of the time or place, just to annoy the host and prevent them from hearing its inner thoughts.
The little butterfly smiled innocently and pulled a handful of candy from her pocket—actually, from her spatial storage: "Brother, do you want some? My sister bought these for me."
Zhong Jue is past the age of liking sweets. If it were Gu Cai, he might still be interested. But the child has already taken out the candy, and refusing it might disappoint her, which could affect her impression of him in Su Ran's eyes.
So, let's just accept it.
Zhong Jue mimicked Little Butterfly's innocent smile: "Thank you, Little Butterfly. I won't be polite then."
The little butterfly watched helplessly as Zhong Jue took most of the candy from her hand.
Its heart is broken!
Asking you for candy was just a polite gesture; can't you refuse? You're such a grown-up, yet you still like eating candy!
Just as Zhong Jue finished taking it, he saw Little Butterfly walk away angrily.
"What? Did I guess the wrong question?" Zhong Jue looked thoughtfully at the colorful candies in his palm.
After she calmed down, Little Butterfly remembered the matter of the deity and hurriedly and quietly ran backstage to the area where the guests touched up their makeup.
Su Ran was surrounded by a group of makeup artists, almost all of whom praised her to the skies.
Faced with this situation, it was clear that Su Ran was already used to it. All she had to do was sit on the sofa and let the makeup artist brush her face left and right.
Although there's nothing to embellish, the camera is very unforgiving when it comes to makeup. Some celebrities don't have enough facial contours, and when the camera lights up, the shadows on their faces disappear. Even though they have delicate and beautiful features, they end up looking like plain, white faces.
Of course, this situation would never appear on Su Ran's face.
No matter how the light is applied or from what angle the photo is taken, her face is truly flawless from every angle.
The makeup artist's role was simply to apply bright colors to her facial features, giving her face some changes in appearance.
However, in the little butterfly's eyes, this was the perfect opportunity!
"Red Pearl, you wait, I'll let you go home right now."
Taking advantage of its short stature, the little butterfly crossed countless long legs and finally arrived behind Su Ran's chair.
At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on Su Ran, and no one had time to pay attention to the little butterfly.
As an electronic being, Little Butterfly experienced anxiety for the first time. The fake heart inside the humanoid suit's chest pounded, and a few drops of cold sweat dripped down her back.
As it drew closer, it suddenly remembered something extremely urgent.
How do I put this thing back in its place?
Does it automatically return to its original position after approaching the host? Or does it require the host's consent before returning to its original position?
The little butterfly successfully froze in place.
"What are you standing here for?" A pleasant voice came from above.
It's Su Ran.
She leaned slightly forward, her beautiful eyes fixed on the little butterfly, as if trying to find some clue on its face.
"I...I...Here, candy." Little Butterfly had no choice but to use the same trick she used on Zhong Jue again.
Su Ran glanced at it briefly: "Keep it for yourself."
The little butterfly fled in panic.
Little did it know that Su Ran was standing quietly in place, watching the divine eagle flee in disarray, lost in thought.
Without Shi An and Tang Weiwei, the recording of the program went very smoothly.
Su Ran didn't know about the others, but for her, it wasn't too troublesome. Apart from Gu Cai and Zhong Jue occasionally acting crazy and causing trouble, the whole process was generally quite pleasant.
After all, he had someone to help him cook, so he didn't have to cut the vegetables himself. In the evenings, someone would even deliver late-night snacks. In his spare time, Gu Cai would take out his musical instrument and sing a song.
It must be said that Gu is a musical genius. He can compose one or two pieces for Western music such as piano and violin, as well as folk music such as erhu and suona.
This not only greatly satisfied the audience's ears and created a full auditory feast for the production team, but also gave birth to two strange and wonderful couples.
For example, Su Ran and Gu Cai, their CP name is Genius Siblings.
Su Ran and Zhong Jue, their CP name is "Sudden Love".
Gu Cai's heart was shattered beyond repair without even looking at it.
"Why am I the brother and sister, while you are Zhongqing? I'm the one who has sacrificed the most, okay?" Gu Cai patted his chest and cried out in pain.
Zhong Jue pretended to be calm as he sipped his black tea, concealing his delighted mood, and didn't forget to kick him while he was down: "Don't you know what your brother used to do? What's my weight compared to yours?"
The root cause of this situation largely stems from Zhong Jue's mature, masculine demeanor and Gu Cai's childlike, younger-brotherly behavior. This gives the audience the illusion that Gu Cai is Zhong Jue's younger brother, pursuing his older brother's girlfriend on his behalf.
There's only a one-word difference between an ally and an adversary, and everyone believed that Gu was Zhong Jue's ally.
He's doing all the work for his rival; no one is more wronged than him!
Gu Cai glared at Zhong Jue resentfully, then stood up abruptly and pointed at him with his index finger: "From now on, don't contact me. I don't want to see you for the time being."
"Break off relations?"
"Break off the relationship!"
Gu Cai slammed the door and left.
After a while, he felt that this was not enough to show his power, so he ran in again and poured all the tea from Zhong Jue's tea table into the Podocarpus macrophyllus bonsai.
He mistook the Podocarpus macrophyllus for Zhong Jue: "I'll make you drink, drink, drink! I'll drink you to death!"
