CEFYMA: Chapter 59

The show didn’t only send the receipt purchased by You Mian in the supermarket that day, but also explained clearly why the prices of the purchased items were cheaper than usual.

[Summary of savings: The show cooperated with the supermarket that appeared on camera. The price was originally discounted by 40%. You Mian also saved a lot of money by stacking the discounts that the supermarket previously offered. The final price was 50% off.]

[F*k, does that mean that not only did Mianmian consider the prices of the ingredients at that time, but he also noted down the discounted price and added it up?]

[This memory and calculation ability are exaggerated, right?]

[Don’t say anything else, Brother Mian is awesome.]

At a time when public opinion was showing a trend in clarification, the remarks that splashed dirty water disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Unlike Bai Lin’s fan group, who was caught before, the direction of public opinion this time was clearly and pointed directly at You Mian. They immediately turned around and retreated when they saw that there were no benefits.

The organization was disciplined and was clearly prepared.

But at this moment, many passersby and You Mian’s fans regarded this matter as unwarranted small turmoil. They didn’t continue to pursue it.

Once You Mian walked out of the entertainment room and saw the text message from Qu Miao, it was already after the show clarified it.

Seeing the friendly remarks under the official Weibo, You Mian lowered his eyes and thought coldly.

Then after a few seconds, he put away his phone with a calm expression.

Yan Tingxuan and the others slowly walked out behind him.

“I didn’t expect You Mian to really be the evil dragon.” Yan Tingxuan pushed up his glasses and smiled. “I just didn’t think that the clue was crucial, so I didn’t reveal it.”

Guan Tong and Shen Nanxiao heard him say this and both put on expressions of eating melons. Who would believe this?

Huo Yanzhi suddenly joined the conversation like he was afraid that You Mian would misunderstand something. He explained, “I just followed the settings of the character card. It was clearly written on it. I am extremely opposed to the dragon slaying order, so hiding the clues is in line with the rules.”

You Mian’s expression was normal. It was as if he didn’t care about the small twists and turns in the hearts of the two people at the moment. He walked very quickly in front of them.

The moment Huo Yanzhi’s enthusiastic voice stopped, even Yan Tingxuan pursed his lips.

This night’s game session was over. Bai Lin was the first to go back to his room to rest.

The others didn’t want to leave for the time being. They were leaning against the large balcony on the second floor and chatting leisurely in groups of twos or threes.

You Mian remembered that he was now in the same room as Pei Huaiji, so he suddenly stopped before going upstairs. He turned to sit on the wide sofa on the balcony.

On the sofa in the wide rest area, Yan Tingxuan stared at Huo Yanzhi and said with a smile, “Bai Lin seems to have lost the game and isn’t in a good mood. Why don’t you go to comfort him?”

Huo Yanzhi clearly showed his attitude toward Bai Lin from the first episode of the show.

Everyone in the house had seen it.

Therefore, what Yan Tingxuan said at this moment didn’t surprise many people.

Guan Tong went to look at Huo Yanzhi with a smile, only to hear that Huo Yanzhi actually refused.

“Bai Lin is now in the same room as Yun Guanqing. It isn’t appropriate for me to go looking for someone now.”

Huo Yanzhi’s excuse wasn’t bad but Yan Tingxuan’s expression obviously didn’t look very good after hearing it.

Yun Guanqing leaned on the balcony and said with a smile, “Hey, don’t blame me. You can go to him if you want to. The show’s staff didn’t say that we couldn’t visit each other.”

As Yun Guanqing said this, his eyes were firmly fixed on You Mian to the side.

“No, I won’t.” Huo Yanzhi deliberately laughed heartily. “I don’t want to have good intentions only to end up annoying the other person.”

Yun Guanqing had a cold face as he raised an eyebrow and smiled. “Really?”

Guan Tong was confused by the undercurrents of the conversation. It sounded like the topic they were talking about was Bai Lin, but why did he feel that these people’s focus wasn’t on Bai Lin?

You Mian leaned back on the sofa. The more he listened, the more bored he became.

Pei Huaiji had already gone back to his room to wash up. He estimated the time. The other person should’ve sorted things out by now.

Thinking of this, You Mian got up and prepared to go back to rest.

Guan Tong smiled. “I don’t know what we will be doing on the show tomorrow?”

Shen Nanxiao glanced sideways at Guan Tong. His warm expression was like a big brother.

“It seems that we haven’t really gone on group dates. We spend most of our time in groups of twos and threes. There are relatively few one-on-one dates.”

Guan Tong pointed at the camera and said jokingly, “Did the director hear it? Nanxiao wants a one-on-one date!”

Shen Nanxiao shook his head helplessly. He didn’t want to get involved in this complicated shura field.

The moment Guan Tong finished speaking, he found that You Mian was standing up to leave. He turned around and called out softly, “Honey! Are you going to rest?”

You Mian put one hand in his pocket and nodded calmly. “I’m a bit tired. I will go back to rest first.”

The moment Guan Tong heard that You Mian was tired, he immediately waved his hand. “Then you should go to bed early.”

You Mian smiled at him and Shen Nanxiao. “Good night.”

Guan Tong covered his heart and shouted in an exaggerated manner, “Honey, if you don’t want me to fall in love with you then don’t smile at me like this!”

You Mian narrowed his eyes and shook his head helplessly. Then he turned around and walked upstairs without hesitation.

The moment You Mian left, the warm atmosphere where they were still talking to each other instantly cooled down.

Guan Tong found that the three people on the side were all similarly silent. It was as if they couldn’t raise any interest in chatting when You Mian wasn’t here.

“Then I’ll go back and rest first.”

Huo Yanzhi and Yan Tingxuan got up one after another. Guan Tong had to stand up when he saw this. “Then let’s all go back to sleep. See you tomorrow morning!”

Shen Nanxiao smiled and patted Guan Tong on the shoulder. “See you tomorrow.”

Yan Tingxuan walked up to the third floor alone. They couldn’t help stopping in place for a long time when he passed by the door of You Mian and Pei Huaiji’s room.

If the show’s double room arrangement was meant to make them scratch their heads, Yan Tingxuan admitted that the show’s arrangement was successful.

He now wanted to know what topic You Mian was talking about with Pei Huaiji. What could the two of them talk about?

Just now, Yan Tingxuan had been happy when he saw You Mian stopping on the second floor to join the other people’s chat.

He was glad that You Mian didn’t turn around and go back to his room, giving him a bit of buffer time.

But this buffer wasn’t enough for Yan Tingxuan to swallow his jealousy toward Pei Huaiji.

Yan Tingxuan stood alone for a long time and finally walked away after ten minutes.

There was a warm yellow light in the room.

By the time You Mian entered, Pei Huaiji had already sorted out his clothes and was lying on the bed on the other side.

You Mian sighed with relief at avoiding the chat session.

Pei Huaiji had his back turned to You Mian and seemed to have fallen asleep. Therefore, You Mian quickly washed himself and took off the clothes prepared by the show, hanging them in the closet.

The chest of the knight’s outfit was dotted with feathers and gold powder.

You Mian couldn’t help frowning slightly after seeing it.

Yan Tingxuan and Huo Yanzhi might’ve deliberately concealed clues, which made him a bit confused. However, it stopped at doubts. There was no other exploration or curiosity.

You Mian lay down on the bed and thought about the public opinion that had inexplicably risen before.

These accounts were all blank and new. The only clue that could be found was that they once left a message under the entry where Bai Lin was praised by the artist, Spier.

You Mian had learned a lot from experience. He almost instantly realized that this was a water army bought by Bai Lin and the You family specifically for her.

The line was laid too deeply and too long.

It was to the point that even if You Mian found out now, he couldn’t fight back immediately.

The public opinion field was played too skillfully by Bai Lin and the You family.

You Mian knew the horror of rumors, but he wasn’t afraid at all. It was because what shattered rumors was strength.

An absolute strength so strong that no one could talk.

The timely clarification of the show didn’t allow public opinion to deepen, but You Mian knew that he had just escaped this time.

The long-laid water army must still be dormant in the shadows, waiting to grab You Mian’s throat and kill him with one blow.

You Mian closed his eyes and exhaled deeply. He wouldn’t sit still.

Was the You family the only one who wanted to bite the enemy’s throats?

Early the next morning, You Mian opened his eyes and heard Pei Huaiji holding a whispered meeting.

The man was wearing a shirt and sitting at the desk. He looked cold and ruthless when he lowered his eyes. His voice was very soft but he felt very strong.

“The plan still needs to be revised. Why are you making this type of mistake again and again?”

Pei Huaiji said coldly, “Give me another copy the day after tomorrow.”

It wasn’t known what was said on the other end of the call. After the man hung up on the meeting, he stood up and turned around to find You Mian, who had woken up.

In an instant, You Mian found that the cold thorns all over Pei Huaiji’s body seemed to have been smoothed over.

“Are you awake?” Pei Huaiji asked in a hoarse voice.

You Mian rubbed his eyes and got up to wash up. “The show’s team hasn’t informed us about today’s appointment yet, have they?”

Pei Huaiji raised his wrist and looked at his watch. “No, take your time.”

There were constant messages in the small group. It was Guan Tong who said he had prepared breakfast and asked those who hadn’t come down yet to come quickly.

You Mian replied to the text message with a smile. After washing up, he put on a bright orange coat.

Pei Huaiji noticed that the young man always liked these brightly colored clothes.

It looked very energetic and the mood of the person was brightened.

You Mian followed Pei Huaiji downstairs and asked with a smile, “Chairman Pei, can you guess what today’s date project is?”

Pei Huaiji frowned slightly. “It is hard to guess.”

You Mian was slightly surprised. “There are also things you find difficult?”

Pei Huaiji looked at him helplessly. “Of course.”

It was no wonder that You Mian was surprised. It was because Pei Huaiji’s appearance and courage made it unimaginable that he would also have difficult moments. It was as if he was always so at ease, with a measured degree of advance and retreat.

He always maintained the best sanity and calmness to complete difficult mission objectives one after another.

Pei Huaiji’s unrelenting sincerity made You Mian feel closer to him.

As the two of them walked downstairs, they heard Guan Tong holding up the show’s task card he had just received and loudly saying, “Today’s date is at the skydiving base at the top of the mountain!”

You Mian raised an eyebrow, smiled at Pei Huaiji and asked, “Is Chairman Pei afraid of heights?”

Pei Huaiji lowered his eyes and rolled up his sleeves calmly. “Unfortunately, it happens to be one of my hobbies.”
