Chapter 13 Encountering an Attack on the Observation Room
Observatory.
The guests took their seats.
Famous host He Ling sat in the center position.
Left side: Fu Shou'er, Yang Li, Jia Qianqian.
Right side: Zhang Ruonan, Zhou Shen, Li Xueqin.
Among the six guests are Zhang Ruonan, a post-95s actress, Zhou Shen, a singer with a heavenly voice, Jia Qianqian, a famous poet, Li Xueqin, a popular internet celebrity, and Fu Shou'er and Yang Li, who are also controversial guests.
Recording begins.
He Ling first guided the guests in the observation group to introduce themselves, and then began the warm-up session, casually asking the guests about their recent situations.
"Long time no see, Shen Shen! Do you have any singles coming out soon?"
Zhou Shen, who was called out first, shrank back in surprise: "No!"
"Is there a concert being planned?"
Zhou Shen shook his head: "No."
"So you're reflecting on yourself? What insights have you gained that you'd like to share?"
No.
He Ling smiled brightly and looked at Li Xueqin: "He really is an honest boy."
Zhou Shen was completely confused.
So, they've finally behaved themselves?
Li Xueqin nudged Zhou Shen, speaking with a heavy Northeastern accent: "You have to say yes, brother."
Zhou Shen asked in confusion, "Why?"
"You don't have any singles or concerts. Isn't that telling the public that you're washed up? In the entertainment industry, if you're washed up, who's going to hire you? No matter how busy you are, just say you're busy to the public."
Zhou Shen mouthed "O," then suddenly realized.
Yang Li's eyes lit up, and she suddenly understood.
Fu Shou'er immediately got it too.
Li Xueqin: "Teacher He, ask me."
He Ling smiled and asked, "What has Xueqin been busy with lately?"
"I'm busy trying to make a comeback," Li Xueqin said with a wry smile. "I'm really washed up."
"puff!"
He Ling clapped her hands in laughter.
As a variety show host, he likes guests who have witty remarks.
Yang Li seized every spare moment: "I read every issue of Xueqin's 'Mao Xuewang' without fail. No matter how busy I am, I make sure to find a few minutes to read it every day while I'm taking a shower."
He Ling: "What has Yang Li been busy with lately?"
"I'm preparing to launch my own stand-up comedy theater, and I'm also in talks for new endorsements. I'll also have a role in a movie..."
He Ling looked at Yang Li meaningfully: "Take care of yourself! How's Fu Shou'er doing lately?"
Fu Shou'er covered her face and sighed deeply: "I've been so busy lately that I haven't even had time to take a shower every day."
Yang Li looked at Fu Shou'er: "???"
You're a cut above the rest!
To step on Yang Li and show off?
The topic quickly shifted to Zhang Ruonan, a 95-born actress.
This year, among the actresses born in 95, Tian Xiwei and Zhang Ruonan have the highest popularity.
If Tian Xiwei is the epitome of sweet girls, then Zhang Ruonan is the white moonlight in the hearts of otaku.
"Xiao Nan is really popular lately, she's gone viral."
"well enough!"
"Are you alright? Some of your representative works have already broken through the fourth wall, and I believe netizens in front of the screen know about them." He Ling raised an eyebrow.
The guests nodded.
He Ling slammed her hand on the table: "Zhou Shen, put down your impolite gestures!"
Zhou Shen quickly lowered the Ultraman gesture.
Zhang Ruonan's Ultraman-like running posture once went viral on social media, as her running style resembled that of Ultraman, leading to a frenzy of memes among netizens.
Zhang Ruonan made the same gesture to Zhou Shen: "Laugh again, and I'll destroy you."
After a burst of cheerful laughter, Jia Qianqian asked, puzzled, "Are you all so busy?"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Yang Li and Fu Shou'er nodded the most heavily and frequently, like hens pecking at rice!
He Ling asked, "Where's Qianqian? She seems to be having a lot of free time lately? I've seen you post a lot of videos of her petting cats on your WeChat Moments."
"I'm so bored at home, I'm practically growing mold."
He Ling laughed and said, "You'll soon be busy reporting some good news to our readers: the beautiful poet is about to get married!"
Congratulations!
"Mr. Jia, congratulations on your marriage in advance!"
Jia Qianqian stood up, her face beaming with a happy smile: "Thank you everyone."
"We wish Teacher Jia a fulfilling love life, and we wish everyone a happy marriage. However, many marriages encounter minor problems, which is an objective reality. What problems did the following four couples encounter in their relationships?"
Welcome to season 5 of Goodbye Lovers!
Please have the staff play the rough cut of the first episode of "Goodbye Lovers"!
On the big screen, a rough cut of the video began to play.
The six guests took out paper and pens and started taking notes while watching the show.
The first group of guests featured was the couple Li Hangliang and Mai Lin. The couple were incredibly sweet and affectionate, showering viewers with displays of affection.
Li Xueqin wondered, "Did they get on the wrong show? Shouldn't they be on 'Romantic Trip for Couples'?"
Zhang Ruonan clenched her hands and pressed them against her chest: "Their happiness is practically overflowing the screen. I'm so envious!"
He Ling: "Little Shen Shen, bring on the background music!"
Zhou Shen hummed Li Hangliang's signature song: "I only wish to win one person's heart, to stay together until our hair turns white, these clear words..."
The second group of guests was Liang Song and He Meiyan, a rapper couple who even have a serious argument.
"Even their arguments are so rhyming, are they preparing for graduate school?" Li Xueqin quipped humorously.
Zhang Ruonan: "There might be a big problem with their group."
Fu Shou'er: "That's not necessarily true. In my experience with marriage, the more a couple argues, the smaller the problem is. On the contrary, when they are too lazy to argue, or even when they use passive-aggressive tactics and don't respond, that's when a real problem arises."
He Ling nodded: "That makes sense."
Fu Shou'er: "For example, me and my husband Lao Liu..."
After scolding Lao Liu for five minutes, Fu Shou'er looked at Zhou Shen, who had a confused and bewildered expression.
"Zhou Shen, is there anything I doubt about what you said to me?"
"Um," Zhou Shen asked timidly, "Sis, isn't Lao Liu already someone else's?"
Fu Shou'er's face darkened: "We're in a cooling-off period for divorce!"
"oh."
"puff!"
Zhang Ruonan smiled.
Zhou Shen looked at Mengmeng and seemed weak, but occasionally he would say something that was quite ruthless.
The third group of guests, Yangzi/Huang Shengyi.
This group discussed for more than 20 minutes in the observation room because both of them are celebrities and they know each other very well.
Moreover, Yoko's portrayal of a scumbag CEO, her domineering attitude towards Hwang Seung-yi, and Hwang Seung-yi's submissive and tolerant Yoko immediately sparked a frenzy of criticism from the entire observation room.
Yang Li and Fu Shou'er, in particular, went all out!
They're professionals at criticizing men.
Jia Qianqian also said angrily, "I feel like they're not a couple, but rather superior and subordinate! Huang Shengyi seems to be Yangzi's employee, his assistant."
"Everyone, calm down and take a short break before we watch the fourth group of guests."
Taking advantage of this break, Zhang Ruonan finished her fifth bottle of Dongpeng Special Beef for the day.
He Ling said with concern, "Nan Nan, drink less energy drinks, they're bad for your health. If you're tired or sleepy, take a short nap whenever you can."
"I don't have any free time," Zhang Ruonan said, both amused and exasperated.
"Sigh! I feel the same way! I have a variety show this afternoon, and then at 8 pm, I have to record a Tencent program. I don't have time to rest until 1 am, then I have to take a car to another city."
Watching the two complaining to each other, Jia Qianqian, who had lived a leisurely life, couldn't understand their predicament. She could only elegantly take a sip of tea.
"Okay, let's continue with the fourth group of guests!"
On the big screen, various memorable moments of Li Shen/Tian Xiwei were played!
I forgive you.
Even if you offer love to a dog, the dog won't even talk about it.
Let's part ways amicably and each find our own happiness.
[Li Shen's lowest score is 10 points]
……
The observation room erupted before this part of the short film had even finished playing.
There was a "pfft" sound!
Someone slammed their fist on the table!
Some even stood up and demanded the playback be stopped.
Fu Shou'er suddenly stood up: "Teacher He, I'm furious! Please pause for a moment, I have something to say."
He Ling gestured for them to proceed.
"This is the first time I've ever seen such a scumbag! He's scumbag in a very open way," Fu Shou'er said, her face flushed. "'I forgive you'—what kind of devilish statement is that?! He even said he would 'never run away and take full responsibility,' but what did he do? He played on his phone all night!"
No wonder Tian Xiwei named him "Crispy Bones Taro"! Crispy means fragile and escapist, missing for 6 years; Bones means shameless, a person who isn't shameless wouldn't do such a thing.
As for Taro, no Chinese man would do such a thing; only a Japanese idiot would.
So, Crispy Bones Taro!
He Ling pressed her hand down, signaling her to stop, as this had escalated to a personal attack.
Everything should be done in moderation; too much of anything is as bad as too little. Fu Shou'er went a bit too far.
But He Ling noticed that Fu Shou'er's eyelids were twitching slightly, so she must have really been angry with Li Shen.
He Ling, being the master of controlling the conversation, interrupted her speech and decided to pass the topic to someone else.
He looked at Yang Li, whose eyes were wide and eager to speak: "Yang Li, you also have a lot to say?"
Yang Li's heart trembled with excitement, and she nodded rapidly.
Big work is coming.
He Ling: "Yang Li, what do you think of Li Shen's behavior?"
"I'll hold the knife! Knife in hand, I'll kill that dog Li!"
After everyone laughed, Yang Li continued:
"When I heard all those titles, I was completely stunned. How could he be so confident when he hadn't accomplished anything?... If I had to describe how I feel right now in one word—Ugh, trash!"
He Ling looked at Jia Qianqian: "Honey, your hands are shaking with anger! As a great poet, what do you think of Li Shen's line, 'Let's part ways amicably and each find our own happiness'?"
"A little talent, but a major moral failing!"
Applause erupted in the observation room.
Fu Shou'er: "Brilliant!"
He Ling then asked, "Is there anything else you'd like to say?"
Jia Qianqian rubbed her temples: "Teacher He, don't let me speak yet, let me calm down, he's so infuriating!"
"Pfft! Teachers, do you think Li Shen or Tian Xiwei was responsible for the breakup? If you think it was Li Shen's fault, please raise your hand."
brush!brush!brush!
Only Zhou Shen hesitated for a moment, but ultimately raised his hand.
Six guests raised seven hands.
He Ling frowned and looked at Yang Li: "Yang Li, why are you raising both hands?"
Yang Li raised both arms: "No, I only raised one hand."
Everyone: "???"
Yang Li explained, "The other thing is a knife. With the knife in hand, I'll kill Li Gou!"
"puff!"
"Ha ha!"
……
He Ling then asked, "Isn't anyone here willing to vote for Li Shen?"
Zhou Shen timidly raised his hand: "Teacher He, I want to vote for Li Shen, but actually I have some different ideas."
"Shen Shen, speak."
"There's always a reason for something unusual, and every reason has an effect. Li Shen has been actively cutting ties with Tian Xiwei throughout. His views on love are pessimistic, such as 'Even a dog wouldn't talk about love,' and his attitude is resolute. What could make a man so disheartened about love?"
It's harmful!
Every scumbag had a period of innocence! I believe that anyone who has experienced heartbreak will agree with my point of view.
Tian Xiwei was Li Shen's first love. Li Shen unilaterally broke up with her and even disappeared without a trace back then. Such an extreme situation must have a major reason, so...
"So what?"
Zhou Shen boldly hypothesized: "Tell me, didn't Tian Xiwei hurt Li Shen?!"
"You're kidding me!" Li Xueqin said with a pout.
He Ling: "So, you're voting for Li Shen?"
Zhou Shen lowered his raised hand again: "But Tian Tian is such a kind, lovely and upright girl. I don't believe she would intentionally hurt Li Shen, so I'm abstaining for now."
Li Xueqin raised her hand: "Teacher He, I've thought about it, and I'll vote for Li Shen!"
"Xueqin, you still agree with Zhou Shen's analysis?"
Li Xueqin shook her head vigorously: "No. It's because Tiantian's side is full, there's no room to stand."
The joke caused another burst of laughter in the observation room.
He Ling smiled and asked, "So what do you think of Li Shen?"
"If the end of the universe is Tieling, then the end of a scumbag is Li Shen."
The entire observation room was filled with both anger and laughter as they criticized Li Shen, creating maximum variety show effect!
Liu Qing was laughing so hard her eyes disappeared.
This episode of the observation room is the most exciting of all the previous four seasons of the show.
The fiercest man unleashes the most powerful variety show effect!
Li Shen, I love him!
They don't love it, but I do!
They don't spoil them, but I do!
Pen refill!
My KPIs are in the bag!
……
Continue with the rough cut.
The scenes of the three groups of guests interacting joyfully at the villa and camping by the sea are interspersed, creating a striking contrast.
As Li Shen wrote lines of poetry in his "Mood Diary" on the big screen, He Ling's heart suddenly warmed, and she inexplicably relaxed a little.
I deeply resonated with some of the sentiments expressed in this poem.
Pressing the pause button, He Ling looked at Zhang Ruonan: "Nannan, I see your eyes are red, what's wrong?"
Zhang Ruonan's eyes welled up with tears: "Starting tomorrow, I will be a happy person, feeding horses, chopping wood, and traveling the world... This is the life I want to pursue now, simple, peaceful, and free."
Just now, the instant I finished reading this poem, I really wanted to retire on the spot. I'm so tired; I'm being drained dry by work.
He Ling nodded: "I understand!"
Zhang Ruonan: "But after I glanced at my agent, my dream ended. There were still 5 years left on the contract."
"Pfft! I get it!"
"I only wish to face the sea, with spring flowers blooming, Teacher He!"
He Ling stood up: "Hug."
He then looked at Zhou Shen: "Let's go together!"
Zhou Shen shrank his neck and didn't get up: "I'm not busy lately, really."
He Ling gave Zhang Ruonan a gentle and polite hug. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Fu Shou'er rushing towards him with open arms.
He Ling: "..."
After sitting down again, He Ling looked at Jia Qianqian and said, "Teacher Jia, I see your eyes are red too. Did you feel the same way?"
"No, I'm just angry! He almost sent me away! He's so infuriating, so incredibly infuriating!!!"
