Ji Qingzhou sat down on the seat, picked up the paper, and quickly folded it with both hands when the host gave the order.
The presenter, with the stage book beside him, asked him, “Who lived as a man and died as a ghost. Who was this poem about?”
“Xiang Yu.”
“Drinking crazy songs and living emptily, who is the domineering and arrogant? Who wrote this poem?”
“Du Fu.”
“The dividing line between the eastern and western hemispheres is?”
“20 degrees west longitude 160 degrees east longitude.”
…..…
When the time is up, the crew called a halt. Ji Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back in his chair, waiting for the program team to take stock of the stars he had folded.
Meng Yuan Bai was shocked, he looked at Lian Jingxing and felt tired, “What is this little brother of yours doing in our variety show? He should have gone next door to the <<Answer Key>>. Forty-five questions! Skipped three times! Wrong three times! That margin of victory, and I think he would have answered more if the host hadn’t been delayed in reading the questions.”
That was true. The biggest characteristic of Ji Qingzhou was that it was quick to answer questions. He was almost instinctively answering questions, and reported the answers directly without thinking, in the end, the host worried that the number of questions wasn’t enough, and even advised him not to worry and think for a while.
However, it was impossible to think too much. From the time when he was a child, he went to school to receive competition training, and he kept in mind the key point of answering questions quickly. When he was at school, he was the teacher’s favorite student, and he was indispensable for every competition in school, city, province and country. Over time, he became accustomed to answering questions quickly, whether orally or by writing.
Soon, the score of Ji Qingzhou came out. Meng Yuanbai looked at the score and thought it would be the highest score of the game in the future.
He looked at Lian Jingxing and asked, “Are you really under no pressure? I see that your little brother is coming to the forefront. “
Lian Jingxing turned to look at him. “Why did you say anything? When you didn’t answer the question, you suspected that he couldn’t match Luo Yuxin. After answering the question, you felt that he was menacing.” He shook his head. “He is my younger brother, not your younger brother, otherwise it must be very miserable.”
Meng Yuanbai was unwilling to refute his two sentences. He only felt that this newcomer had a bit of momentum.
Ji Qingzhou was satisfied with his score, and smiled and asked if the program group could give him these stars.
Luo Yuxin looked at the smile on his face, only wishing to tear off his false smile. He didn’t understand how it developed into this, clearly he had everything under his control at the beginning, so why did he finally become a graft for Ji Qingzhou?
“Luo Yuxin’s face is not very good.” Meng Yuanbai said with emotion, “Your little younger brother doesn’t know how to calm down. He answered the question so fiercely, didn’t he hit Luo Yuxin’s face?”
“Luo Yuxin’s game of his choice, his answers, why didn’t he think of others? Does the entertainment industry need to converge? What the entertainment industry doesn’t need most is convergence. It converges every day. What do they want to take? How popular are they? “
“You are defending him.” Meng Yuanbai replied.
Concerning Ji Qingzhou, Lian Jingxing said nothing. For such a sudden extra younger brother, Lian Jingxing himself had no feelings. Zhou Chengfeng was a good broker, and Western Entertainment certainly wouldn’t let him take him alone. He could understand, so it didn’t matter.

Ji Qingzhou’s newcomer period was a completely different personality from his own, he was such a personality that all agents liked, unlike when he was young, he didn’t have a day to make people happy.
Zhou Chengfeng had kindness for him, so when Zhou Chengfeng suggested that he wanted him to help Ji Qingzhou, he didn’t refuse. It was just that he didn’t expect that Ji Qingzhou would be related to Chu Cheng and would be friends with Yu Anyi.
People had selfish intentions, even Lian Jingxing did, and his selfish intention was Yu Anyi. He hadn’t told anyone of his feelings for Yu Anyi, but that didn’t stop him from being willing to show kindness to the people around Yu Anyi. If Ji Qingzhou was just his junior brother, he would help him, but he wouldn’t take the initiative to mention him or talk to Cai Li. But he was Yu Anyi’s friend, someone in the center of her social network headed by Chu Cheng, so even for his own sake, Lian Jingxing was kinder to him.
When he looked towards Yu Anyi’s direction without moving, he saw that Yu Anyi was saying something to Ji Qingzhou, and her face had a very bright smile. He watched quietly for a while, then silently withdrew his gaze and continued to watch the sparring session.
Ji Qingzhou’s session was over, and Yu Anyi’s session hadn’t started yet. The two of them asked permission from the director, turned off the mic, asked the program team for the boxes, and sorted through the stars that Ji Qingzhou had folded.
“What are you packing these for?” Yu Anyi was puzzled.
Ji Qingzhou looked up and asked her, “Do you guys give gifts at Christmas?”
Yu Anyi shook her head, “I don’t. I used to give presents when I was a kid, but not when I grew up, it’s such a hassle to send them every year. I’m fine, because I’m a girl, and my brother says girls must have gifts for their birthdays, so I still get gifts every year. As for Ah Cheng and my brother, they’re so lazy now that they don’t even give each other gifts on their birthdays anymore, it’s just that we all get together and have fun.”
Ji Qingzhou nodded.
Yu Anyi asked him, “You want to give a gift to Ah Cheng, huh?”
“Yeah.”
“Send you these little stars to fold?” Yu Anyi looked at him, “Have you been reading too many girly comics? So girly ah.”
Ji Qingzhou looked at the stars in the box, “I wanted to send these stars, but I didn’t send them because I’ve been reading too many teenage comics, but because that was my first time on a TV show, and when I was filming, Chu Cheng accompanied me for a while and experienced many things on the set. So this time he was absent and I wanted to help him make up for it.”
“What’s more,” he looked at Yu Anyi, “these stars are all proof of my victory, okay? When I see them I can think of my glorious day. I’m very happy and lucky today, I met someone I don’t like, but I won, so I hope Chu Cheng can be like that in the future, even if I meet someone I don’t like, I can easily win over him.”
Yu Anyi felt that he was quite emotional, “You’re also an arts student, you can think so much, Ah Cheng definitely won’t imagine that there are so many meanings hidden inside this star.”
“I can tell him if he can’t think of it.” Ji Qingzhou said, “I always have to let him know the meaning of this gift I gave him.”
“Then I’ll go back and remind him to give you a Christmas present too.”
“There’s no need for this.” Ji lightly looked at his stars, “I didn’t spend any money on this gift, and it’s not worth anything, so I don’t need his return gift.”
“It’s good that he took it.” Ji Qingzhou whispered.
Yu Anyi sniffed and looked down at the stars in the box, the star paper provided by the program was beautiful and there were many colors, mixed together like a small magnificent blessing, that was Ji Qingzhou’s blessing to Chu Cheng. Although it was small, it was worth a lot of money.
She reached out and flicked the stars in the box and smiled at Ji Qingzhou.
Yu Anyi revealed to Chu Cheng that night that Ji Qingzhou was going to give him a Christmas present and reminded him, “You remember to give him one too.”
“He’s going to give me a Christmas present? No, you’ve seen me when I’ve received Christmas presents before.”
“Can this be the same? You won’t receive it if your baby gave it to you. If you accept it, aren’t you embarrassed not to return the gift?”
“You didn’t stop him.”
“What was I stopping him for?” Yu Anyi felt that it was very strange, “You’re still rejecting a gift, isn’t it normal for lovers to give gifts? Why are you still here with your pretensions when people are giving you their full blessings.”
The problem is that we’re not a couple at all! Chu Cheng had a headache, he hadn’t agreed to spend Christmas with Ji Qingzhou yet, yet Ji Qingzhou even had a present ready, how could he refuse!
“What’s he sending me?” Chu Cheng asked.
Yu Anyi shook her head, “I can’t tell you that, there will be no surprise if I tell you.”
“Are you on my side or his side?” Chu Cheng felt that she had rebelled quite quickly, “Aren’t you my good sister?”
“I’m still his good senior sister.”
“Yu Anyi, how did you rebel so easily?”
“Where did I defect, I’m still loyal to the people and the party, but you, remember to buy a gift, this is the first festival you’ve ever celebrated, be a bit more romantic.”
Chu Cheng held his forehead, he really didn’t want to celebrate the festival at all.
Chu Cheng hung up the phone and helplessly shouted in the group without Yu Anyi: Meeting.
Yao Xiuyuan was the first to report: What meeting?
Chu Cheng: Today’s topic, it’s Christmas, what should I get for Ji Qingzhou?
Qin Xue: ???
Shao Yong: ???
Yu Anming: ???
Yao Xuyuan: I thought we don’t give gifts?
Chu Cheng was helpless: We don’t give gifts, but Ji Qingzhou prepared a gift for me! So I’m not allowed to return the favor?
Yu Anming: That’s true.
Yao Xiuyuan was curious: What gift did Xiao Ji prepare for you?
“I don’t know,” Chu Cheng said, “only the eldest lady knows, but the eldest lady has rebelled, and she not only doesn’t tell me, but she also reminds me vigorously to remember to return the gift.”
Yu Anming replied: Anyi is doing it for your good.
Shao Yong was a little puzzled: Aren’t you playing too hard? And you’re spending the holidays together and giving gifts?
“You think I want to, that’s not what I can do when he’s all ready with a present?”
Shao Yong replied to him, “You can be lovingly indifferent.”
Chu Cheng refused, “That’s too scummy.”
“But the way you guys are now, it’s too real.”
Chu Cheng didn’t bother to bullshit with him, “Don’t go off topic, let’s start with you, what are you sending?”
Shao Yong thought about it, and returned to him: why not give a car, men, who doesn’t love cars?
The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the car and see if it’s the right one.
“Or send a card ah,” Qin Xue suggested, “Xiao Ji following you might lack money, you can directly give him a card to buy what he likes, how good.”
“Sending a card is too vulgar,” Yao Xiuyuan countered, “What if Xiao Ji is more sensitive in his heart and thinks that Ah Cheng is insulting him by sending a card, then how can we still have this festival?”
“You think too much,” Chu Cheng said. “He is not such a person, not so sentimental, but the card is not a gift, but something else.”
“You can also send him a resource,” Yu Anming thought from the identity of Ji Qingzhou. “Don’t actors need resources most?”
TN:
Hiya, sorry for not updating for this long, my apartment complex got repossessed and i had to stay in a hotel for two weeks, i got an apartment and just got settled in, so updates everyday for two weeks for everyday i had to stay in the d*mn hotel 
LOL, it’s ok Hanni!
Wait…they kicked you out just like that? O.o
Yup, apparently the owner wasn’t the owner, the real owner showed up and… Yeah, sh*t went down.
damnnn thats a shock
Holy shit that’s quite something. Hope you’re doing okay!
Wow. 😥 That must have been stressful. I wish you some relaxation ☀️
Yay not yay. Sorry to hear bout the apt, hope ur new place is ten times better!! (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ
Thank you for the chapter ..I love our Mc… He can compete against Luo Yuxin with his own capability..He didn’t depend on ML..😌
Hope you found better home… I must’ve been reading too much supernatural novel that I thought your apartment was haunted again when you say repossessed.
Sorry to hear about your situation!
I gotta say, I’m loving Yu Anyi more and more with each chapter. I hope she’s able to find happiness!
+1
Ugh JQZ giving Chu Cheng such a meaningful gift while Chu Cheng tried to dodge it. Wanting to draw the line of being sugar daddy and baby lol Wonder how JQZ would react if he knew Chu Cheng’s thought.
It’ll come kick Chu Cheng back in the ass. evil smile
JQZ is so badass in the show tho! And once again, sensible Lian Jingxing. Someone who finally, have enough brain cells to act nice toward their crush’s friend instead of going imma fight with you bitch how dare you get close to ma love. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for the chapter! (Sorry to hear about your apartment though, I really hate moving and for you to have to move so suddenly like that)
I’m sure he knows. This world is based on a book so he’s kind of aware that CC attention is almost entirely superficial. Get won’t be shocked, but yeah it does suck that he’s trying to be a genuinely nice person and CC is trying to play hard to get as if giving someone a present will kill him
Oh yeah somehow I just forgot about it. Cuz I think maybe JQZ stop thinking of CC as a character and as a person? (Just like how I just forgot cough) He became more dependent on him. So when he realized CC’s thought I agree he won’t be that hurt but he would back off. Or sth. Wait to see what will happen XD
I totally agree with you! 😆
+1 for Chu Cheng getting kicked in the ass later on XD
Well for me I understand wanting draw a clear line. Sometimes what a person want is just a no string attached ya know. But what i cant stand is that CC really not being honest with himself and not realise that he actually love MC aaaahhhhhh 😩
Wow, Real Life got you. Almost sounds like a novel, hopefully you are not the cannon folder.
thank you for the chapter, moving into new homes are so burdensome, I hope yours wasn’t ^^
ah paper stars are so cute and easy to do! I remember I had a cup full of them…
Wow!! thanks translator sama!
CC is still so stubborn.
Why does this shit happen to our lovely translator, Hanni?
Lol, thanks for the chapter! 😘
whaaa you’re so generous!!! Exciting two weeks to come it seems. That sucks though, glad you got outta there!
Thanks for the update
Sorry to hear you’re having a rough time! Thank you for the new chapter!
Sorry to hear about your apartment. It’s good you have found another one. I hope It’s even better than the old one!
Hahaha. Chu Cheng’s meeting to get ideas for a gift to Ji Qingzhou is so funny. He has spend some time with him and he still doesn’t know What his baby likes?
Thanks for the chapter!
Thank you for your hard work
Enjoy your stay in the hotel then~ Hopefully the situation got better for you!
Chu Cheng, you better not hurt our baby’s little heart by playing alright?! QAQ Our baby’s feelings are so pure that I’m afraid he will somehow got hurt by Chu Cheng ahhhhh
Thanks for the chapter! 💜
Thanks for the translation despite the crazy events!
Thanks for the chapter! 😍
These rich bros 🙄
Thanks for the chapter!!!
I’m sorry you had to be in that situation ! Hoping everything is alright and your move was smooth. Thanks for the chapter.
Pfffff~~ Chu Cheng os the most nervous with Christmas! When will he eat vinegar?
Thank you for the chapter!
“That’s too scummy.” Well, the only choice is to get married and live a good life together then.
Thank you!
Thank you very much for the chapter ♥️♥️♥️
I feel that origami (their meaning to be more specific) is going to be an important point in the story. Like it is likely that whoever tells the meaning is she, instead of the MC, I think she will only count in a tense moment of separation of the two! (a helping hand gives a little push)
This group of straight men ceo of company ABC aesthetic… Be more creative!!😆
Anyway, although I say that… I personally would love to receive money lol. Idk if lover or not, money is money!!
I’m so sorry about the appartment situation and the stress it caused. I hope your doing better now.
