"It's just skincare products, throat medicine, and some equipment for body training. Didn't you guys bring these?"

The guests: "..."

They stared at the suitcase full of bottles and jars, speechless.

Who comes on this exhausting travel variety show and brings so many cosmetics!?

Isn't this just too heavy!

Chi Qingzhou stood to the side, holding his suitcase, not saying anything, just shaking his head.

Chi Qingning saw his motion and suddenly had a brilliant idea. He blurted out, "Actually, Brother Xue didn't bring that much."

The guests quickly turned to look at Chi Qingning, stunned with a look of "Are you okay?"

Only Xue Jinshi's expression softened, and he gave Chi Qingning a weak smile.

Chi Qingning instinctively glanced at Chi Qingzhou.

Hmm, Chi Qingzhou's face clearly showed disapproval.

Without hesitation, Chi Qingning turned back to Xue Jinshi and sighed.

"Actually, Brother Xue didn't bring that much. If you had strength, carrying it wouldn't be tiring. So, Brother Xue, now you understand why my second brother told me to exercise more, right? It's for my own good."

Xue Jinshi: "..................??"

The live stream audience was laughing hysterically.

[Such a clever retort! What a clever move!]

[Announcing the winner of the day—Chi Qingning!]

The little sweet plums: [......Brother, are you okay? Blink if you've been kidnapped!]

The Jin Wu: [Are you guys crazy?! How is it wrong for an artist to carry skincare products? Our Brother Xue is just showing professionalism, alright!]

The livestream viewers rolled their eyes in unison.

The way he said it made it seem like only Xue Jinshi knew what an entertainer needed to do.

In terms of status within the industry, wasn't Zhong Lingshu and Tang Qichen's position higher than Xue Jinshi's?

In terms of positioning, wasn't Xu Xinxin also an idol?

So why didn't they bring that many cosmetics?

The viewers weren't about to go easy on Xue Jinshi's fans.

[Are we talking about professional qualities here? What we're really talking about is timing!]

[Exactly, knowing this is a travel variety show, and the director loves to stir things up, shouldn't XJS have checked if bringing all this stuff was appropriate?]

[Wow, I just checked the screenshots. Xue Jinshi's gear is even more refined than the guests on that dating variety show.]

[Did XJS not do his homework?]

[Really don't get it. The dating show guests bring a lot of stuff, mainly for their dates, but this guy's here for a travel show and is dressed like he's preparing for a concert or something.]

[Jin Wu fandom, enough already. Guess why the other guests didn't bring so many skincare products? Do they not need skincare either?]

[Honestly, I feel like XJS doesn't really fit with "Scenery Along the Way." He should just go on a singing and dancing show.]

[True. XJS has a strong foundation in singing and dancing, and his performances on "Best Idol" and "I Am A Superstar" were pretty good.]

The Jin Wu fans were numerous and powerful, a force to be reckoned with among the idols.

But as the old saying went, a single fist couldn't fight four palms. Individual fans couldn't overpower the masses.

They couldn't argue with the overwhelming number of livestream viewers, and as they saw some viewers praise their idol's stage performances, they slowly started to be swayed.

They began to think the company had made the wrong choice of resources for their idol. Within minutes, insults appeared on the official social media pages of the company and the manager's personal pages.

Although Xue Jinshi had never marketed himself as a "Little Fairy" type, he was still an idol.

To his fans, basic skincare and appropriate makeup were part of his professional qualities, and being criticized for bringing skincare products was hard for them to accept.

Since Xue Jinshi didn't do anything wrong and neither did the production team, the one who made a mistake must have been the manager who helped pick the resources.

The manager had been worried that Xue Jinshi might say something wrong, which was why he'd been keeping an eye on the livestream.

When he saw Xue Jinshi's actions and the fans' reactions, he was so frustrated he nearly lost his temper.

He knew Xue Jinshi's fans weren't particularly bright because of the company's poor fan management, but did that mean Xue Jinshi was also clueless?

Or was it just that when it came to matters involving Chi Qingning, Xue Jinshi couldn't think straight?

The manager slammed his hand down on the desk, frustrated.

His artist was putting himself out there, but did you see Chi Qingning even acknowledge him?

Just like the manager had suspected, since the livestream began, Xue Jinshi had been trying hard to show his closeness to Chi Qingning, but Chi Qingning's response had been very flat.

That line earlier, "Now you know Second Brother is doing this for my good, right?" hurt him deeply.

Xue Jinshi clenched his fists, silently watching Chi Qingning with dark eyes.

When Chi Qingning said it wasn't his fault earlier, he genuinely thought Chi Qingning was going to stand up for him, as if he were back on the day when someone had dr*gged his cup, his heart filled with emotion.

Perhaps Chi Qingning and he would have differences on some things, but he believed that when it came down to it, Chi Qingning would stand by him.

Without Chi Qingning, he wouldn't even be able to sing anymore.

He was grateful for Chi Qingning and trusted him.

The Chi Qingning who had stood firm in front of him, unwavering, had long become his support in times of fatigue and despair.

However, when Chi Qingning asked him that question, he really did feel confused and hurt.

He was standing up for Chi Qingning, so why did Chi Qingning reject his help again?

Xue Jinshi's face was still a little pale as he stared intensely into Chi Qingning's eyes, demanding an answer.

Chi Qingning's gaze met his briefly, then he calmly looked away.

Except for the Chi family, almost no one knew that the day after Chi Qingzhou visited the Chi family in the hospital, Chi Shuhong had another accident and lost almost half of his spiritual power.

He didn't know what he had seen, but he was terrified, shouting continuously and muttering words like "punishment" and "need offerings" that no one understood.
