They couldn't help but ask:

[Why is Actor Song with CQZ? Aren't they supposed to have a special relationship?]

[What's the director up to now? Some new segment?]

[Seriously, they're just pushing CQZ hard? Using someone like Song Yuzhi, an award-winning actor, to boost CQZ's popularity—does the production crew have no shame?]

[Laughing my ass off, what do you mean "pushing"? It's not like Actpr Chi is some useless vase.]

[If I yell "Chi Qingzhou" in front of you, would you dare to call him a vase?]

[Isn't "pushing" just the truth? Do you even think CQZ's popularity fits the situation?!]

[Stop with the nonsense. The real question is, would you dare to call him a vase right in front of Actor Chi?]

[Oh please, they'd never dare. They'd be afraid their heads would get knocked off by Actor Chi.]

The trolls in the audience were left speechless, grumbling a bit before they switched to the livestream of Chi Qingning, cursing Chi Qingzhou with "little sweet plums."

Some of Song Yuzhi's fans, still clueless about the situation, thought Chi Qingning and Song Yuzhi were close friends and came to ask Chi Qingning about it.

Surrounded by people, Chi Qingning couldn't exactly turn things upside down, so he forced a smile and answered a few questions before limping toward the mountain top.

Tang Qichen, watching his back, rolled his eyes in annoyance but stopped when Liang Ji slapped him lightly.

Chi Qingning pretended like he didn't see anything, trudging ahead for a while, feeling increasingly dizzy, until he suddenly realized something was off.

He looked up, and only then did he notice thick white mist slowly creeping through the forest.

The mist thickened, and his mind became even more foggy.

By the time he realized, he couldn't see anyone else around him.

Panicking, he took a step back. When he turned around, everything in front of him had changed.

The lush trees had disappeared, replaced by a place he knew all too well—his home, where he had lived for over ten years.

He didn't even realize he had fallen into an illusion, standing dazed in the entrance hall.

The crystal chandelier reflected cold, harsh light. Chi Qingzhou stood right across from him, his face looking inexplicably younger, the corners of his lips curled in an innocent and cheerful smile that only made Chi Qingning's heart churn with irritation.

This confrontation felt strangely familiar. When had he encountered it before?

Chi Qingning racked his brain, trying to recall, and finally remembered—it was the day Chi Qingzhou had been picked up by his parents.

He couldn't help but snort in his mind.

How ridiculous. A bumpkin from a small town comes back home, and now he dares to block him?

Who gave him the guts?

Chi Qingning looked at the person in front of him and forced a reserved smile.

"What do you want?"

Chi Qingzhou's eyes curved into a smile as he pointed toward the villa door, softly asking, "My foster parents are at the door right now. Aren't you going to go meet them?"

Who?

Chi Qingning paused for a moment before realizing those were his real parents.

He glanced at Chi Qingzhou with a complex expression, paused slightly, and in the next moment, tears welled up in his eyes.

"Chi Qingzhou, you... I know why you're upset," he choked out. "Although you're the biological son, even people who raise a dog get attached after a few years. Mom abd Dad raised me for 19 years. I just wanted to spend more time with them. Is that so wrong?"

The audience, who couldn't see the illusion, exploded in confusion.

[?? What is Chi Qingning even saying?]

Most of the people watching variety shows were just regular folks. Through a screen and the internet, they obviously couldn't see the white mist in the mountains, let alone the hallucinations Chi Qingning was experiencing.

At first, when they saw Chi Qingning struggling to walk properly, they were a little confused and started discussing in the live chat if he was just exhausted.

[Is his stamina seriously that bad?]

[Didn't he always post gym photos? And now this? This??]

With Chi Qingzhou setting the bar high, a lot of viewers couldn't help but feel that Chi Qingning was just way too weak.

But his fangirls, the "Little Sweet Plums," weren't having it.

They grabbed their keyboards and furiously clapped back:

[Let's see YOU run for dozens of minutes in the morning and then go hiking. Bet you wouldn't even make it halfway up!]

[LMAO, y'all talking like you didn't watch last week's episode. Saying our boy has no stamina? Please.]

[Are you blind? He's obviously injured, duh!]

[You can't wake someone pretending to be asleep. Our boy always does his own stunts in action scenes, no stunt double. And you're questioning his stamina?]

[Ugh, classic shady directing. Making him run like crazy in the morning, clearly getting him hurt, and then forcing him to hike? Bet the whole production team is just pushing that illegitimate kid now, huh?]

[The director is seriously messed up.]

Most viewers couldn't be bothered arguing with these fangirls who were blinded by their love for Chi Qingning. But when they saw him suddenly stop walking, they couldn't help but roll their eyes.

Giving him a heads-up in the chat that he was falling behind was the last bit of kindness they were willing to show.

After all, Tang Qichen had already confirmed that the Yuhua Mountains were full of poisonous snakes. Wandering off alone? Definitely not safe.

The Little Sweet Plums were fuming, but no matter how sarcastic they got, no one paid them any attention. They had no choice but to bottle up their frustration and hope their idol would serve some major face-slapping revenge.

But instead of a satisfying comeback, they got something even wilder—Chi Qingning's one-man, imaginary drama performance.

And the moment he said, "Even though you're actually Mom and Dad's real son," the entire livestream exploded.

The chat was instantly flooded with question marks. Viewers' brains short-circuited—they had no idea what to make of that sentence. Something about it just felt... off.

It took a few minutes before someone finally pieced things together.

In complete disbelief, they typed out a message in the chat:

[Wait... so CQN is saying that the 'real son'... is Chi Qingzhou?? Chi Qingzhou is actually the real young master of the Chi family?!!]

That one message hit like a tidal wave.

As if that sentence had flipped a switch, the chat erupted with a flood of reactions.
