Rich Side Character Goes Viral for Gossiping on a Laid-Back Reality Show Ch. 4

Prev | Directory | Next

Just as her time awake was about to enter countdown mode, the system finally dug up some juicy gossip, its voice practically booming, [Damn! This Qi Yuanzhou may look young, but turns out he's already married—with a kid old enough to buy soy sauce!]

[Not only did he hide it from his company and fans, but even from his own family. Looks like he has no intention of letting this news slip out.]

Yu Qianxia's eyes flickered with surprise. What an exposive scandal! Qi Yuanzhou was secretly married with a kid?

The system continued gossiping excitedly, [He met his wife at a bar. Sparks flew, and boom, one night was all it took—she got pregnant! Tsk tsk, they had a shotgun wedding.]

Yu Qianxia: [Awesome...]

The system was thoroughly enjoying its gossip feast when it suddenly let out a surprised noise, [Wait, what? He joined this variety show... because of you, Host?]

Yu Qianxia: [?]

[He knew from the start that you were one of the first-episode guests. He pulled a lot of strings and connections just to get a spot on this show.]

[Let me dig a little deeper... What exactly does he want?]

A few seconds later, the system's voice trembled in shock: [Uh—what the hell?! He actually wants to... date you?!]

Yu Qianxia's eyes flashed with disbelief. At the same time, she smoothly pulled the suitcase handle upright, dodging Qi Yuanzhou's outstretched hand and rejecting him coldly, "No need. I'll handle my luggage myself."

Qi Yuanzhou's hand grasped at nothing but air. He gave a faint, somewhat disappointed smile.

To the livestream audience, however, this scene played out differently—Yu Qianxia was acting like a diva.

[My brother Qi was just trying to help, and Yu Qianxia, you're acting all high and mighty? Just 'cause you've got some family money, you think you're better than everyone?]

[Ugh, I can't stand this woman. Can the production team just stop inviting her...]

[If you don't want to see her, it's simple—after the first episode, Pineapple Video will launch a voting platform. If we don't vote for her, she'll be eliminated this round!]

[lol, but let's be real, Yu Qianxia has been in the industry for three years, and she barely has any fans, fight? She's probably getting kicked out even without us doing anything.]

[Wait, but isn't she here for Lu Jianchen? What if she pays for fake votes to stay?]

[Nah, no worries. Pineapple Video already announced that their voting system is super strict. Anyone caught rigging votes gets their account banned!]

[LMAO, that's a relief. Fine, I'll just tolerate her for this one episode!]

The first episode of 'Let's Go Travel Together' was filmed in an ancient town in A City. The guests, led by the staff, headed to a local inn.

After digging up the scandal about Qi Yuanzhou's secret marriage and kid, Yu Qianxia's clear-headed time extended by another six hours.

Since she had plenty of time, she wasn't in a rush to uncover more gossip just yet. She placed her luggage in her room, unpacked a little, and by the time she was done, the other guests had already started gathering downstairs.

From the moment the show started, Jiang Shasha had been sticking to Lu Jianchen's side, deliberately avoiding Yu Qianxia. The three of them hadn't exchanged a single word, but the tension between them was palpable.

Director Qian cleared his throat and announced their first task. "Alright, welcome to 'Let's Go Travel Together'! Now that everyone's here, I'll give you your first challenge."

As soon as he finished speaking, the staff handed each guest a map of the ancient town along with 20 yuan in cash.

Director Qian announced today's challenge theme: Preserve the Spring. Guests were required to complete a task based on this theme, with complete creative freedom—but with only 20 yuan to work with.

Once the tasks were completed, the production team would randomly select a tourist on-site to evaluate and score their work. The higher the score, the better their dinner would be tonight.

"This ancient town in A City has a long history and breathtaking scenery. You can check the map and decide where you want to go. Good luck!" Director Qian said encouraging words and let everyone start free activities.

Yan Zhirou studied the map, biting her lip in thought. "The area of the ancient town is huge... Begonia Garden, Peony Pavilion, Peach Blossom Corridor, Cherry Blossom Valley... Gosh, so many places. Shasha, where are you going?"

Jiang Shasha lifted her hand, about to loop her arm around Lu Jianchen's for a little on-camera couple moment. But before she could touch him, Lu Jianchen suddenly stepped aside, putting distance between them.

His gaze landed on Yan Zhirou, lingering for a few seconds before he looked down.

Jiang Shasha was clearly annoyed, but she couldn't say anything. Forcing a smile, she said, "I was thinking of going to Begonia Garden with Jianchen. The begonias there are beautiful."

Yan Zhirou nodded, scanning the map again. "Then I'll go to Peach Blossom Corridor. It's pretty close by."

They decided on their destinations and set off from the inn.

"Qianxia, where are you planning to go? I'll go with you." Qi Yuanzhou approached with a warm smile.

Yu Qianxia pressed her lips together before refusing once again. "No need. I'm just going to wander around nearby for now."

Without waiting for a response, Yu Qianxia turned and walked toward the ancient street.

Qi Yuanzhou hesitated for a moment, pausing mid-step. After a few seconds of deliberation, he silently followed her.

Yu Qianxia was well aware that he was trailing behind, but since he wasn't forcing conversation anymore, she ignored him.

In the end, she spent her 20 yuan renting a camera from a photography studio on the ancient street. With the camera strap hanging around her neck, she headed toward Cherry Blossom Valley to take photos.

Meanwhile, Qi Yuanzhou used his 20 yuan to buy several glass cups from a general store. No one knew what he planned to do with them, sparking curiosity among the livestream viewers.

As Yu Qianxia made her way to Cherry Blossom Valley, Qi Yuanzhou caught up with a smile. "Qianxia, let's go together. I want to see the cherry blossoms too—they're at their most beautiful this time of year."

Yu Qianxia sighed inwardly, fiddling with her camera as she responded indifferently, "Suit yourself."

It was the perfect season for cherry blossoms—vast clouds of pink covered the trees, their petals fluttering in the soft spring breeze, scattering like delicate snowflakes across the ground.
