YM778.TV Chapter 135
XunMi was naturally the last to enter. She was main draw of tonight’s program.
Bai QianWei immediately saw the returning from abroad Ni XunMi, who was also wearing a white dress. Her eyes flashed with envy but quickly hid it.
She put on a cordial smile and approached XunMi in the hopes of greeting her.
However, she was stopped by Qin SiYu.
Qin SiYu really disliked this woman. She could tell that Bai QianWei was just here to leave a good impression. Humph, she wasn’t going to let her goddess get polluted by this woman.
Bai QianWei glared at Qin SiYu. It was this damned woman again. She only got here based on her family’s money. But just wait.
When she gets into that man’s bed, she’ll be able to step all over her.
She hid her emotions and secretly looked at Ni XunMi standing on the side. She was jealous of this person. She always had the feeling that she was going to steal away something precious to her.
From the first time she saw her, Bai QianWei couldn’t help but loathe her.
[Madam Host, the female lead is blackening ~(≧▽≦)/~] BaoBao joyfully called out, obviously feeling a sense of schadenfreude.
XunMi raised her eyebrows for a second, speechless. How was she blackening during their first encounter? She hadn’t even had the chance to anything yet, how unreasonable is that?
At that time, the hosts on stage began speaking, breaking the uncomfortable atmosphere behind stage.
“Welcome everybody to this week’s Powder with Color. Guess who our guests for today are!” The host, Xia Qi Dai, wore a white dress with a mermaid hem. Under the studio lights, the dressed shined.
“SiYu, SiYu, SiYu!”
“Prince, Prince, Prince!”
“QianWei, QianWei, QianWei!”
‘Prince’ was Lu JingSheng’s nickname. Lu JingSheng had a prince-like aura and the most famous role he played was a campus prince.
Based on the fanchats, XunMi could tell that the news about her participation had been successfully kept secret.
Xia QiDai smiled. “It seems like everyone has been reading up on the news! However, there’s one more special guest today. She is the pride of all women, and my personal famous idol. Can anyone guess who it is?”
“Gu LuoSha!”
“Lu ZhiWen!”
One was the name of a famous singer, the other was an international model. Seeing Xia QiDai shake her head once again, the audience continued to make guesses. Suddenly, a shout sounded through the filming site. “Queen Ni!”
A silence fell. Then, the audience began chanting.
“Xunxunmimi to wait for Ni, we seek to wait for you!”
“Xunxunmimi to wait for Ni, we seek to wait for you!”
Off stage, the directors smiled ear to ear while watching the audience rise with excitement. They just might be able to create a new ratings record with today’s broadcast. As expected, it was a good decision to first keep Queen Ni’s appearance a secret.
“Hahaha. It seems that everyone is a fan of Queen Ni.” Xia QiDai spoke up, quickly and expertly controlling the mood of the show. “Alright, let’s bring out today’s guests.”
Bai QianWei was the first to come on stage. She shifted to the side after a simple self-introduction. Next was Qin SiYu and Lu JingSheng. When it was XunMi’s turn, the atmosphere reached new heights. The audience all rose to their feet with anticipation.
They had just seen her pictures on Weibo yesterday and heard the news of her return. Today, they had the chance to see her in person. They were brimming with excitement.
“Wow, everyone is so enthusiastic. Thank you. I’m Ni XunMi. I thought everyone might have forgotten about me already. I’m truly thankful.” XunMi bowed to the audience with a smile.
“Mi, Mi, Mi!”
Afterwards, she also moved to her spot. She wouldn’t try to hog the stage. This was Xia QiDai’s territory, she was here as a guest.
XunMi’s actions were very effective towards Xia QiDai. Although she had said XunMi was her idol, she had always believed that she and XunMi were on the same level professionally. But now, she truly did admire this person’s attitude.
“Our Queen Ni is truly a beauty. Wow, I’m about to cry from being in the presence of all this beauty. Don’t you agree?” Xia QiDai returned to the center of the stage.
“Agreed!”
Xia QiDai nodded with satisfaction. “But today is not just about appreciating Queen Ni and our other guests’ beauty. We are here today to see if our four guests have the IQ to match their good looks. Are you ready? Our games are about to begin.”
Xia QiDai mischievously looked back at the four. Before they could react, she turned back around to pick up the card laying on the table in front of them.
“Don’t use normal logic or thought processing to make your guesses. First question: How many animals are present in the saying lang tun hu yan?” {T/N: 狼吞虎咽 means to wolf down your food}
Xiao QiDai took answers starting from Bai QianWei. Bai QianWei thought for a second before hesitantly answering. “Two types?”
Qin SiYu quickly responded. “Two types, wolf (lang) and tiger (hu).”
Lu JingSheng felt like it wouldn’t be just two types. “Three types.” He didn’t know what the other animal could be but he made a random guess.
All the cameras and the audience members then turned to XunMi.
“Four types: wolf (lang), dolphin (tun), tiger (hu), swallow (yan). The character tun is a homophone for the character for dolphin. The character yan is a homophone for the character used for swallow.”
“Bingo. Correct!” Xiao QiDai exclaimed exaggeratedly. “Next question.”
They played a few more rounds of different games, with XunMi staying in the lead. They finally arrived at the last segment of the show: acting skills.
There were four cards, each four different roles.
XunMi, with her not-good-yet-not-bad luck chose “ORPHAN”.
One simple word yet it contained layers of meaning. The first thing everyone thought when they saw the word ‘orphan’ was that the role must require sorrow and emit pity.
Before, XunMi might have acted her chosen role out in the way everyone expected but now?
The card Bai QianWei picked was: “SOMEONE THAT WAS JUST BETRAYED BY THEIR LOVER”.
Qin SiYu’s role was simple. She played a fan that just ran into her idol.
Lu JingSheng’s role was a bit....unique. He played: “A SMILING IDIOT.”
They gave everyone ten minutes to prepare themselves. Whoever was ready first could start first.
Bai QianWei was the first to step forward, successfully earning her a glare from Qin SiYu.
