Chapter 8: Real women never go bald~

Ye Yan thought about that little tricycle and her pitifully low balance in her account. Full of enthusiasm, she realized that if this were the 1970s or 1980s, she would have been awarded the title of “Expert Weeder” and recognized as a “model worker”. 

In other words, she’s definitely the big shot in the rural community!

So, she wasn’t even aware of the occasional glances Chen Jinseng and Qiao Anran were casting in her direction.

The crew watched as Ye Yan didn’t cause any trouble all day. They sighed and told them to stop working. It was getting dark, and if they continued, the guests might not be able to get up tomorrow. 

Then the crew distributed the 458 yuan they had earned that afternoon among everyone, and went ahead to eat. 

“Everyone’s worked hard today, so there’s no need to cook tonight. The production team will take care of dinner. Is there anything anyone would like to eat?”

Upon hearing this, He Xiaoxiao exclaimed in a pretentious manner, “Director, I want to eat shrimp, seafood, and crabs!” 

Upon hearing this, Fu Sheng raised his eyebrows. Seeing He Xiaoxiao’s reckless behavior, he chose to remain silent. 

Upon hearing He Xiaoxiao’s words, Qiao Anran quickly glanced at Ye Yan. She nudged Ye Yan with her elbow and whispered, “What do you want to eat?” 

“I’ll just eat something casually,” Ye Yan said, shrugging her shoulders indifferently. 

Chen Jinseng pursed his lips. He didn’t like the way Ye Yan treated herself with such self-sacrifice. 

“Director, I want to eat hot pot.” Although he didn’t know what Ye Yan liked to eat, hot pot was probably something she would enjoy. So, Chen Jinseng spoke up. 

“So now we have two options: seafood or hot pot? Let’s vote.” In the end, 4-3, so we decided to have a seafood feast.

………

At this point, even the black hat fans couldn’t stand it anymore.

[Why is He Xiaoxiao so selfish?! I’m really amazed. You ate seafood without even asking if others could eat it too? Ugh, Ye Yan is getting absolutely wrecked! Can’t you just say something if you can’t eat it?!]

 [Stupid Ye Yan, don’t you even know you’re allergic to seafood? How can you tolerate it?! You almost died last time you ate seafood! And you still eat it!!]

[Sigh~ I can tell. Ye Yan is so down on her luck that she doesn’t even dare to say what she wants to eat. She’ll say anything just to get by. Could it be that she’ll go to bed hungry at night?]

[Speechless…… Doesn’t the production team know how serious Ye Yan’s seafood allergy is? This is completely dangerous!!]

………

Ye Yan watched the cuttlefish and squid swimming around in the water. The sight made her lose her appetite, so she made an excuse and left. 

Ye Yan didn’t realize that in the eyes of her haters, her actions seemed like giving up in despair and leaving on an empty stomach. 

But this doesn’t affect anyone else’s appetite for eating, after all, they’ve all been tired all day.

Ye Yan avoided the camera, sitting alone in the courtyard, looking up at the stars. 

Suddenly, she felt someone tap her shoulder. Turning her head, she saw Chen Jinseng with a smile on his lips, looking at her affectionately. 

“Here’s something for you to eat!”

Chen Jinseng spread his palm open, and several large White Rabbit milk candies lay quietly there. 

The hands, with clearly defined joints, appeared especially fair under the moonlight. 

“Only kids eat candy. I don’t want any.” Ye Yan turned her head away, muttering softly in a way that was both cute and charming.

“Then who else was eating lollipops that afternoon?” Chen Jinseng glanced at Ye Yan out of the corner of his eye, his tone slightly raised.

Ye Yan felt embarrassed by the teasing and quickly took the big white rabbit milk candy from Chen Jinseng’s hands. 

Inevitably, the skin of their two hands touched each other lightly. 

“Thanks!”

“Sis is really polite with me. Why didn’t sis just say that she can’t eat seafood?” Chen Jinseng said these words with a hint of annoyance and helplessness in his voice. 

He would rather she act as she used to, than see her suffer like this. 

“I’m… fine. If I don’t eat, I’ll just consider it as part of my weight-loss efforts.” Ye Yan waved her hand nonchalantly. 

Hearing Ye Yan’s indifferent attitude, Chen Jinseng felt even more frustrated.

“Did Sister change her personality because she was scolded?” Chen Jinseng wanted to know if Ye Yan really cared about those haters. He was… very worried about her. 

Before he got to know her, he was aware of this controversial celebrity. But now it’s different—he’s… somewhat interested in her. 

“Ah, it’s nothing serious.”

Hearing this, Chen Jinseng clenched his hands tightly, his expression filled with restraint. She said nothing, which made him feel distant from her, as if he couldn’t reach her at all. He didn’t like that feeling. 

Just as Chen Jinseng was about to say something, he heard someone calling for them. With no choice, he had to go back.

………

It turns out the director had a sudden idea: to have a “bag-unboxing” ceremony, where everyone could introduce their own luggage and belongings. This way, fans can get a better glimpse into their idols’ daily lives. 

They were also informed in advance to take out any personal belongings of theirs in advance.

………

[I’m here! I’ve been squatting here all day. I really want to see what’s in that 21-inch box of Ye Yan’s!]

[There probably isn’t much in the suitcase that Ye Yan can carry on her shoulder by hand, right?]

[Hahaha, the person upstairs thinks the same as me!

[Curiosity +1]

[Cut! Why are you looking at Ye Yan? Isn’t my Anran more attractive?]

………

To fully satisfy netizens’ curiosity, the production team launched 7 live streaming channels. In other words, each guest had their own channel, allowing viewers to choose which one they wanted to watch. 

When the camera entered the room, Qiao Anran had just finished taking a bath. The bathroom was filled with misty steam and the scent of shower gel. 

Qiao Anran stepped out, wearing an elegant bathrobe, and was wiping her hair with a towel. 

Without any makeup, her skin was smooth and delicate, giving her a distinctly youthful appearance.

Sure enough, good looks are the entry requirement in the entertainment industry. There’s no shortage of handsome men and women here. 

“Let Teacher Qiao share with everyone.” The production team started the process. 

“Welcome everyone to my live stream! I’m about to open a box for you all~”

Then, Qiao Anran recommended some useful face masks and other products to her fans in the live stream. Her fans were very supportive, with messages like: “I want to take Little Anran away with me! I love you, my goddess!” 

On Fu Sheng’s end, he shared with everyone the things needed to write songs. He also gave his fans some special treats. The live performance was really lively as well. 

As for Chen Jinseng, he certainly doesn’t lack fans either. After all, he’s a popular idol, so his fans are incredibly enthusiastic.

An Yue, Zhou Kebing, and He Xiaoxiao also have fairly decent fan bases.

 But… when it came to Ye Yan’s turn, the style of drawing became rather odd. 

Ye Yan is battling with her haters in her live stream! 

When Ye Yan opened her suitcase, what caught her eye was a large jar of goji berries and chrysanthemum tea. There was also a super cute large-capacity thermos cup with a little yellow duck on it, along with those thick study materials for the civil service exam.

“Start taking care of your health early on. When you go out, people might think you’re only 18. Ladies, drink more tea and less soda. Avoid excessive drinking and staying up late—it’s bad for your health. That’s how you stay healthy!” 

Black fans:

[Laughing my head off! Ye Yan is trying to take care of herself now? Who was the one who got completely drunk at the bar last night and was still having fun until the early morning? How can that be considered “taking care of oneself”?!]

[That’s too fake! Boycott it! Refuse to accept such a script!]

[Damn! Is this what “double standards” look like on a large scale? You carry around a teapot for healthy drinking, but then act in completely irresponsible ways. Drinking, partying—what haven’t you done?!]

[Wait! What am I seeing? Look, in Ye Yan’s box, there’s another box of milk, three large bags of black sesame paste, and even books for the civil service exam!??]

[Black sesame paste? Has Ye Yan gone bald?]

………

Because it was a live stream interaction,Ye Yan could see the bullet comments, and this particular comment — “Ye Yan has gone bald” — was exceptionally eye-catching among the crowd of comments.

Ye Yan frowned upon seeing this. She stood up quickly, waving her little fists. “This fairy will never go bald! Real women never go bald!” 

This move immediately drew the haters’ attention to Ye Yan. Wearing a yellow pajama set, she looked like a kindergarten child. 

Black fans:

[I showed Ye Yan’s pajamas to my brother who’s in middle school. He said it was like a “Little Yellow Man” pajama – he wouldn’t even wear something so childish!]

[Damn! I just laughed. I came straight from Qiao Anran’s live stream. Other actresses wear delicate silk pajamas, looking elegant and sophisticated, like princesses. But she’s covered in Yellow Kid characters everywhere. So, is she actually Yellow Kid from the comedy show “Happy Comedy People”?]

[I’m laughing my ass off! Did this little brat prepare her own pajamas? Hahahaha! It’s so ugly that it makes me want to cry! Ugh, isn’t this much more practical than silk pajamas?]

[Civil service exam? Ye Yan wants to take the civil service exam?! She must know she can’t continue living in her current circle of friends anymore!]

[Taking the civil service exam?! Can Ye Yan even pass it? I mean, Ye Yan entered the entertainment industry at such a young age. Doesn’t she lack the necessary educational background?]
