Si Fuqing gave an “oh” and smiled. “So you mean you can cook?”

Shang Lu froze. “I… I can’t.”

Xiaobai looked at him with disdain.

A bodyguard who can’t cook isn’t a good bodyguard.

“I can’t cook either,” Si Fuqing rested her chin on her hand. “But Ningning said she’s going home too. These ingredients are quite rare, I’ll give them to her then. Let me thank my boss first.”

She took out her phone and sent a message to Yu Xiheng.

[Boss, thanks for preparing all these ingredients for me. Are you trying to fatten me into a little chubby pig?]

[Boss]: Maybe a round little fox.

Si Fuqing: “……”

How could she be an animal like that dog Pixiu?

No way.

She’d rather be chubby.

[A round little chubby person!]

After a few seconds of silence, a new reply came.

[Boss]: Mm, that works too.

The car soon arrived at the airport, and Si Fuqing boarded the plane.

The assistant director had booked first class, offering excellent privacy.

“Miss Si, it’s a four-hour flight,” Shang Lu eagerly handed her an eye mask and blanket. “You woke up at five today, get some rest.”

Si Fuqing stroked her chin thoughtfully. “You’re acting a bit strange today.”

Shang Lu said loudly, “Please just say it, Miss Si! I’ll correct it right away!”

“Just shut up.”

Shang Lu muttered softly, “…Oh.”

He had to serve Miss Si with all his heart and soul. Otherwise, more and more people might show up to compete with him for his position.

Nanzhou.

At noon, the Daxia TV station’s production set.

Aside from Si Fuqing, the other five regular guests had already arrived yesterday.

The conditions here were indeed poor; there was only one hotel nearby.

The production team had set up temporary tents to improve things as much as possible, but mosquitoes, snakes, and insects were still impossible to fully keep away.

After the morning shoot ended, Xu Jianian was resting inside a tent.

“I just got the news. The production team is really good at keeping secrets,” his manager said as he lifted the tent flap and walked in, looking displeased. “Do you know which guest the assistant director personally went to pick up?”

Xu Jianian looked up. “Who? Must be someone important. Even Teacher Yuan wasn’t picked up by the assistant director.”

“Important?” The manager snorted, clearly disdainful. “Very ‘important.’ They’ve been trending nonstop these past two days. Even taking a photo gets them on the trending list—they really know how to buy trends. These so-called trending idols get replaced every few months. How can they compare to real artists with actual skill?”

Xu Jianian thought for a moment. “You mean the dance mentor from <Youth>?”

They weren’t in the same circle, so he naturally didn’t bother remembering names.

But he had heard that <Youth> had a male contestant who became a top star right after debut, and had even received an invitation from Greene.

And because of the ticket-switching incident, this newly risen top star’s mentor had openly confronted the investors on camera.

Bold—but with that kind of emotional intelligence, it would be hard to survive in the entertainment industry.

“Yes, her.” The manager nodded. “Stay away from her. There were rumors back then that she harassed male trainees. Those kinds of rumors don’t come out of nowhere.”

Xu Jianian smiled faintly and didn’t respond to that. Instead, he said, “She’s quite daring. At her age, I didn’t have that kind of courage.”

Live variety shows were the ultimate test for celebrities.

Even the slightest mistake, or a single wrong word, could completely destroy whatever image they had built.

Xu Jianian had been in the entertainment industry for ten years and still wouldn’t dare claim he could avoid all mistakes.

Si Fuqing was only eighteen. She had debuted less than three years ago, and for two and a half of those years, she had been widely criticized online.

She had only just managed to turn part of her reputation around, yet she dared to take on a live variety show from Daxia TV—and a survival-type one at that.

“A newborn calf isn’t afraid of the tiger. I saw her photos—she’s quite pretty,” the manager reminded him. “Anyway, be careful. Don’t let her tag along on your popularity.”

“That actress who tried to hype a CP* with you last time? She rode your fame all the way to becoming a second-tier actress. We can’t let you get taken advantage of again.”

*Fans or media “shipping” them as a couple.

Xu Jianian nodded. “I know what I’m doing.”

“Anyway, this is live,” the manager said. “If she really dares to do anything, your fans will blast her out of the entertainment industry.”

“Let’s not talk about it anymore.” Xu Jianian glanced at his watch. “It’s almost time, I’ll head out first.”

The manager nodded.
