Chapter 184: Repulsion
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Tian Mei was completely baffled by Xia Xin’s words. What does this have to do with spanking kids? Why would she want to hit me?’
“Let’s move on, Jing Mo. It’s your turn for a dare,” Xia Xin pivoted, ignoring Tian Mei altogether.
At this moment, the live chat went wild.
[Oh my! Xia Xin is so cool!]
[She’s amazing, seriously my idol.]
[She’s straightforward and doesn’t mince words. So unlike Tian Mei.]
[I love girls with Xia Xin’s kind of personality. She’s so likable.]
The audience loved Xia Xin’s genuine and direct demeanor.
Jing MO nodded, “Alright, what should I do?” “Just sing us a song, Big Brother.” Xia Xin suggested.
“Sure,” Jing MO replied with a smile.
Lu Shi, who was standing to the side, was visibly unhappy. He was supposed to be the star of this game, and his plan had been to sidetrack Jing Mo. Yet Xia Xin had thrown a curveball into his plans.
Jing MO sang a heartfelt song. When he finished, everyone went silent. Xia Xin felt a unique emotion in his singing. She looked up at him and found his eyes were locked onto hers as if their souls had been entangled for lifetimes. “That was beautiful,” Xia Xin stood up and clapped, her face beaming.
“Thank you,” Jing MO responded.
Lu Shi couldn’t stand the chemistry between the two and interrupted, “Has everyone else heard this song? I’m a big fan of Jing MO, and I don’t remember ever hearing this one. Is it a new song?”
“It’s not,” they both answered in unison, sharing another brief, knowing glance.
“It’s a song I wrote before my debut, while I was overseas. I’m touched that you keep tabs on me,” Jing MO said.
“Of course, I’m your biggest fan!” Xia Xin declared.
The chat went wild again.
[Did anyone hear someone call out ‘Big Brother’ just now?]
[I heard it!]
[Who was it?]
[It sounded like Xia Xin.]
[Ah, I was so focused on Jing Mo’s response that I subconsciously ignored that ‘Big Brother’.]
[What’s going on? Have they known each other for a long time? Or does ‘Big
Brother’ have a special meaning?]
[Ah, I’m so curious! Please satisfy our curiosity.]
The director saw the audience’s requests in the live chat and used the walkie-talkie, “Let Lu Shi ask Xia Xin why she called Jing MO ‘Big Brother’.” Soon, the staff wrote a few words on a whiteboard and asked Lu Shi to pose the question.
Lu Shi frowned, his expression unclear and enigmatic. He had also overlooked the three words ‘Big Brother’ just moments ago. He, spurred by the production team, asked, “Why do you call him Big Brother?”
Xia Xin shot a glare at the nosy crew, then looked at Jing Mo. “I’ve been calling him that since we were young. We lost touch but when we met again, it just felt natural. Is there something wrong with that?”
[Ah, so sweet, these two are so sweet!]
[Why do I get the vibe of childhood sweethearts from this?]
[I approve of you two being together.]
[Start dating already!]
[But isn’t Xia Xin with MO Shu?]
[Ah, what’s going on with these three?]
[No, even if she’s with MO Shu, she can break up. Xia Xin and Jing MO are a better match!]
“Aren’t you in a romantic relationship with MO Shu?” Lu Shi asked again.
Lu Shi had already checked, MO Shu was her rumored boyfriend, and they hadn’t denied or confirmed their relationship.
Jing MO, subtly positioning himself between Xia Xin and Lu Shi, said, “That’s private information. No need to discuss it on the show. Besides, why should the names ‘Big Brother’ and ‘boyfriend’ be linked?”
Xia Xin felt warmed by Jing Mo’s protective stance. “I agree. What does my relationship status have to do with you?”
Just then, Tian Mei, who had been itching to join the conversation, saw her chance and piped up, “Xia Xin, why are you always like this? Why do you have to target people to be happy?
Xia Xin shot her a mocking smile, “Weren’t you just off to the side, crying? Are you done?”
Xia Xin wondered why the producers even invited Tian Mei onto the show. In Xia Xin’s opinion, Tian Mei was incredibly annoying..
