Chapter 110: Chapter 109: This Show Has Finally Reached Her Knowledge Blind Spot
[Even the dog next door woke up laughing and started arguing with me! How can Ji Xizhi be so full of jokes! Oh no, knowledgeable about the law, hahaha!]
[I specifically showed this video to my dad. I plan to cast it on the big screen when visiting relatives during the New Year, plastering the words “legal awareness” on those relatives who pressure me to drink!]
[I honestly thought Ji Xizhi was about to embarrass herself by insisting on giving Zou Li fish soup. A minute ago, I was a bit angry, but now I’m not! Zou *Legal Awareness Tool* Li!]
[Indeed, thanks to Zou Li for contributing once again to legal education!!!]
The fans in the livestream almost laughed themselves silly when they heard Ji Xizhi’s words to Zou Li.
In the show, the other guests sitting at the long table also heard Ji Xizhi’s comments.
Everyone was originally drinking rice wine, and although the alcohol content is very low, it’s still alcohol and has the risk of getting drunk.
Many of the guests held back their rice wine and picked up the fish soup instead.
Zhong Yulu was the first to turn and look at Ji Xizhi, pausing in speech.
Zou Li is her best friend, so who is Ji Xizhi to interfere?!
Zhong Yulu sidled up next to Zou Li, soothingly said, “Ah Li, don’t drink rice wine, be good and have some fish soup instead!”
Zou Li, her throat choking, heard Zhong Yulu’s words and simply took a sip of the fish soup.
The fresh and fragrant fish soup went down smoothly, delicious and rich without being greasy. Zou Li drank one mouthful after another until she couldn’t stop.
A bowl of soup was completely finished, leaving a delicious aftertaste, easing the choking in her throat and warming her whole body.
During the spring night, everyone ate in the yard, where a breeze brought a bit of chill.
But a bowl of fish soup instantly dispelled that little chill.
She looked at Ji Xizhi with a complex expression.
Was Ji Xizhi genuinely serving her fish soup on purpose, or was it unintentional?
Did Ji Xizhi want to win her over, or just seize the opportunity to create a persona?
There’s no need to build a persona by serving her fish soup, right? Just telling her not to drink alcohol would have sufficed!
The more Zou Li thought about it, the more her mind became a chaotic mess.
She didn’t even know if she should continue targeting Ji Xizhi!
Ji Xizhi reclined lazily in her chair, holding a bowl of fish soup, and once she saw Zou Li wasn’t drinking anymore, she didn’t bother with her again.
She was slowly contemplating an outline for her thesis; her mind was racing while her movements slowed, and her gaze froze in a blank stare.
Ji Xizhi was seated directly opposite Zou Li.
Zou Li looked up and saw Ji Xizhi’s beautiful dark eyes fixated on her.
As their eyes met, Zou Li’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Zou Li quickly averted her gaze and lowered her head.
Ji Xizhi… Ji Xizhi looking at her like that won’t work!
At most, she might just stop targeting Ji Xizhi!!!
–
The hearty dinner concluded, and it was close to nine o’clock. All eight guests sat around the long table chatting.
Director Wang was in a great mood, having enjoyed Ji Xizhi’s fish soup, thanks to Qin Yutian’s menu selection.
Director Wang waved grandly, revealing the stage performance props for a few days later.
“Considering the need for some instruments for the stage performance, our show has prepared some. Renting instruments later will require points for exchange, but tonight you can try them out. Work hard in the coming days to earn points and redeem the instruments!”
Since Ji Group’s investment, the props for “Life Experience” have become more luxurious.
Instruments were abundant, including guitars, drum kits, electronic keyboards, and more.
The fans in the livestream were amazed when they saw the list of instruments prepared by the show.
[Wow, Old Wang really went all out this time!]
[The production team really turned the tables. With Ji Group’s investment, they can do whatever they want!]
[Yay, yay, yay! Want to see Bai Xing play the guitar, Qin Yutian on drums, Yao Yao with the violin, and Lu Lu on the electronic keyboard—sounds amazing. Hurry up and earn those points!]
The guest performers already knew about this arrangement and weren’t surprised.
But the few resident guests who arrived earlier weren’t aware yet.
Zhu Xiu’an was completely shocked, “Director Wang, has the crew really turned a new leaf this time!”
Director Wang chuckled with confidence, “Of course! Starting tomorrow, everyone can begin inviting guest villagers from each village!”
This show required a total of five acts, one from each of the four regular guests plus Ji Xizhi as a special guest, one act per person.
Guest performers could help with supporting roles, but there were only three guest performers, making it obvious that they’d have to compete for participants.
Sheng Yaoyao leaned on her cheek and said, “Looks like Director Wang wants us to fight to the finish, huh?”
Director Wang just smiled without saying anything.
The fans in the bullet comments had already started reasoning in advance.
[Qin Yutian chooses Ji Xizhi, Zou Li is sure to pick Zhong Yulu, the remaining Bai Xing is uncertain, but most probably Ji Xizhi!]
[This is hilarious. So what about Uncle Yan, Yao Bao, and the dumb dog?]
[Let’s wait and see. I have a feeling the production team won’t make it so easy for everyone to choose whoever they want! Old Wang isn’t that kind-hearted!]
Everyone was eager to guess.
The guests in the courtyard also stood up and started trying out the instruments.
Since the show already provided the instruments, who wouldn’t want their moment in the spotlight on an entertainment show? Each picked out the instrument they were good at and began playing.
Bai Xing stepped up first, played a song on the guitar, and Zhong Yulu accompanied him on the electronic keyboard.
Bai Xing was surprised to see Zhong Yulu could play his song, and his eyes lit up instantly, as if he had found his muse.
Bai Xing: “Teacher Zhong, you’ve heard my song?”
Zhong Yulu smiled shyly, “Mr. Bai’s songs are so great; how could I not have heard them?”
Bai Xing was immediately impressed, and the two quickly started getting chummy.
As they chatted back and forth, the other guests picked up various instruments to strum.
Only Ji Xizhi sat quietly enjoying their performances.
Many fans noticed that Ji Xizhi hadn’t said a word almost this entire time, only clapping along.
[I admit Ji Xizhi is brilliant academically, but she really has no talent. Saw her in other variety shows before; she can’t play any instruments, and her singing and dancing aren’t great either, so this show might just hit her weak spot!]
[Oh, come on, former stages of Ji Xizhi were trash!]
[Stop with the slander. Zhi Zhi is amazing, and she’s retired, not an entertainer, got it?]
[Don’t worry, Zhi Zhi, you don’t have to be afraid of stage performances, with Qin Yutian around, our brother will surely choose Ji Xizhi!]
“Zhi Zhi, you should pick one and give it a try too!” Zhong Yulu called enthusiastically from beside Bai Xing.
Bai Xing, who only learned about Ji Xizhi after she became famous, didn’t know about her past stage performances. Zhong Yulu had just praised his old song to the sky, and in a moment of excitement, he also egged on, “Yeah, Sister Zhi, don’t just sit, come join us!”
Upon hearing that, Ji Xizhi slowly raised her eyes to the center of attention among the guests and shook her head, “You guys go ahead.”
[Ji Xizhi must be too afraid to join! Hilarious, she’ll always have singing and dancing as her undeniable weak points!]
