Chapter 54
The next morning, everyone overslept.
The director's team was as lonely as snow, and the live broadcast room was equally lonely.
[What's going on? Can we sleep in on the last day? Hurry up and start working!]
[Is the show ending, and they're planning to let loose?]
[I thought my internet was lagging.]
[Are they showing us their sleeping positions on the last day?]
[So what happened? Even Sister Shuang hasn't woken up?!]
[I came with high spirits to eat dog food early in the morning, and this is it??]
[Watched for nothing, a seasoned smoker.]
At ten o'clock, the director felt this wouldn't do and went upstairs to knock on each door. The three rooms slowly opened, revealing everyone with exhausted faces.
Everyone looked at Tang Yuande in unison. Tang Yuande sighed heavily, "It's all my old wife's fault."
Fang Qiushuang hit him.
Everyone had tossed and turned for most of the night. The production team had promptly provided anti-diarrheal medication, which finally controlled the situation. After everyone washed up and returned to their rooms, they sat in the living room waiting for instructions.
Director: "Today's only activity is cleaning. Let's clean up the house for the owners before we leave."
Everyone picked up cleaning tools and cleaned the large house they had lived in for over a month, dividing the tasks. Before long, Xia Linxia patted her waist, straightened up, and turned in a circle, looking at the house and sighing, "Why am I a little reluctant to leave?"
"Me too," Song Wanyi said while wiping the railing on the second floor, her voice tinged with reluctance. "I really like all of you."
Fang Qiushuang came out of the kitchen with a basin of water and said with a smile, "There are no feasts that last forever. We'll just keep in touch."
"Okay, Sister Shuang, I'll still look for you next time we play Dou Dizhu," Xia Linxia smiled.
"And me too! Call me next time for Chicken Dinner, and let Teacher Ji lead the team again!" Song Wanyi chimed in.
Ji Fengxue smiled, then turned her head and met Xue Hui's gaze as he was wiping the window.
They were silent for a moment. Xue Hui, very fashionably, joined their conversation, "Remember to call me next time we go to an auction."
Ji Fengxue: "..."
Are you addicted to auctions now?
The five people were scattered in different parts of the house, chatting enthusiastically. Only Tang Yuande was chased outside by Fang Qiushuang to clean up the mess from the previous night under the sun.
[Blessings to the three couples, I believe in love again! This summer is sweet!]
[Thank you, production team. I love Tang and Qiu's mutual support, Xue and Song's journey from campus to marriage, and Xia and Ji's love that transcends gender. This summer is sweet!]
[Ji Xia, thank you.]
[Xia Ji!]
[Ji Xia!!!]
[I don't want the show to end, sob sob sob! I want to see the daily lives of these three couples again! Can the next season have the same cast?]
[The variety show is over, but everyone, don't cry! Xia Ji still has a movie coming up! That will be another dose of strong dog food!]
[Everyone, please pay attention to Xiaxia and Teacher Ji's new drama, 'Wu Yi'.]
At the end, the six people stood at the gate of the courtyard and took a group photo. After saying goodbye for half an hour, they got into the cars to go home.
"Love, This Little Thing" officially concluded.
A week later, the variety show's popularity remained high. The online edited version and various famous scene clips ranked first in viewership for their time slot on video websites. The hot searches and topics continued to rise, and all six individuals gained a different number of followers.
Especially for the Xia Ji couple, their follower count increased at a visible rate.
Firstly, the interactions between the two attracted many casual fans. Many people who were initially hostile towards Xia Linxia turned into neutral viewers, then fans, and some even directly turned from haters to fans. As for Ji Fengxue, it goes without saying. This was her first variety show debut, and her daily life made the audience feel that she wasn't out of touch with reality, giving her a more approachable image.
Secondly, their CP fans emerged like mushrooms after rain. The entertainment industry's first publicly announced same-sex couple personally fed the CP fans with sweetness. Shipping this real CP was undoubtedly happier than any imagined one.
Of course, there was also the combined effect. Since they were a couple, participated in the variety show together, and were starring in a movie together, their respective fan bases should work together to boost their data, as their interests were intertwined.
There were also some fans of Qiu Xingzhou. Because of his "father-son" relationship with Xia Linxia, the suspicion of them dating was dispelled, and Qiu's fans were naturally happy to follow Xia Linxia.
Jiang Yuan, in her office, looked at the latest artist data. Xia Linxia ranked first. Although Ji Fengxue was not in the top ten, it didn't matter, as she wasn't pursuing a traffic-driven path.
This result was very satisfactory to her.
Both of them gained followers, the new movie received anticipation, and countless endorsement and advertising invitations were sent out.
It seemed that the decision made at the time was the right one.
Just then, her phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and didn't answer. A moment later, the phone rang again. She tapped her desk and finally answered, asking without much emotion, "What, busy with your career and blind dates, and you still remember to call an old classmate?"
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end.
Then a series of "hee hee hee hee hee" sounds followed.
Jiang Yuan had a bad feeling.
"Hehe, Sister Yuan, it's me," Xia Linxia whispered, covering the phone. "I need your help urgently, come to my place quickly."
"Why are you using your brother's phone?"
"His blind date is here! I snatched his phone, hurry up and come."
Jiang Yuan paused, "I'm not going."
"If you don't come, I'll tell my brother that you let me and Ji Fengxue have a fake relationship."
"..."
Jiang Yuan sat in the car, questioning her life choices. She really couldn't understand why she had taken in such a troublemaker into the company back then.
She was scrolling through her phone with some annoyance when she suddenly remembered an interview she had stumbled upon online. She felt that Ji Fengxue had a good way of dealing with Xia Linxia and curled her lips.
Ji Fengxue was watching a script at home when she suddenly received a call from Jiang Yuan. Without a word, the other party instructed, "I'm downstairs. Come down, we're going to Xia Linxia's house."
Ji Fengxue: "?"
She went downstairs, confused. The car window rolled down, and Jiang Yuan said, "Get in."
Ji Fengxue sat in the car, questioning her life choices. She really couldn't understand why Jiang Yuan would suddenly invite her to the Xia family's house, and her secretary seemed to know the way so well, not even needing navigation?
This was her second time here. The car drove smoothly into the courtyard.
Then she saw Xia Linxia rushing out of the house with a brilliant smile on her face, tapping on the car window, "Sister Yuan, you're finally here! I've been waiting for you for so long, I missed you so much!"
The car window slowly rolled down, revealing Ji Fengxue's cold and frosty face.
Xia Linxia was startled. She looked inside and saw Jiang Yuan on the other side. She gave an awkward laugh, "Hehe, Lao Ji is here too. I missed you."
Fake, not even an "oh."
Ji Fengxue held a grudge in her heart.
"Mom! Sister Yuan and Lao Ji are here!" Xia Linxia shouted.
Ji Fengxue glanced at her again. Good, her name was at the end.
Grudge +1.
Mother Xia also ran out, saying joyfully, "Oh my, why didn't you say you were coming? I'll ask the kitchen to add more dishes."
"Auntie, long time no see," Jiang Yuan got out of the car and familiarly linked arms with Mother Xia as she walked inside. "I was just passing by and decided to visit."
Xia Linxia was glared at by her boss. Shamelessly, she linked arms with Mother Xia on the other side and made a face at Jiang Yuan, grinning triumphantly.
The lone Ji Fengxue: Grudge +2.
When they reached the doorway, Xia Linxia suddenly turned back, paused, and extended her other hand, "Lao Ji, what are you standing there for? Come in quickly."
Ji Fengxue quickened her pace and took her hand.
Grudge -1.
Xia Linxia looked down at their joined hands. She had originally intended to link arms...
In the living room, Xia Yangxuan and a beautifully dressed woman sat opposite each other. Hearing the commotion, they both looked over. They saw four women standing in a line and walking in with great presence.
The scene was very much like a high school girls' daily life.
Xia Yangxuan stood up to greet the guests. He first nodded at Ji Fengxue, then looked at Jiang Yuan and said in a low voice, "Why are you here?"
Before Jiang Yuan could answer, the blind date preemptively asked, "Who is this?"
With the air of a hostess.
Jiang Yuan, for some reason, felt a competitive spirit. Just as she was about to reply that she was a classmate of over ten years, she heard Xia Linxia quickly answer, "My sister-in-law!"
Jiang Yuan: "..."
Xia Yangxuan: "..."
Ji Fengxue: Grudge -1.
The spectator:
Upon hearing this, the beautiful lady stepped forward and carefully examined Ji Fengxue's face, frowning, "Which sister-in-law are you? What is your relationship with Xia Yangxuan?"
The spectator Ji Fengxue: "?"
Everyone else: "???"
It turned out that the blind date felt a sense of crisis upon seeing Ji Fengxue. Seeing that Xia Yangxuan greeted this woman first, she didn't pay attention to the commotion behind her and kept staring at Ji Fengxue.
"You're not bad-looking. When did you two get together?"
Ji Fengxue was stunned and speechless, "Thank you for the compliment?"
Everyone was stunned and speechless.
Xia Linxia blinked her eyes, walked to Ji Fengxue's side, took her hand, clasped their fingers tightly, and held them up to show her, "Don't talk nonsense, she's my girlfriend."
Ji Fengxue's lips curved slightly, "Yes, I am her girlfriend."
The woman then shifted her gaze to Jiang Yuan. Before she could ask, Jiang Yuan said expressionlessly, "Don't look at me, I just came from afar specifically to eat their dog food."
