The other party hadn’t realized just how dangerous that pounce had been a moment ago and glanced at Su Xiaochi, mistaking her for an ordinary assistant.
"A single day apart feels like an eternity, you have no idea how much my fans wish we were inseparable."
Chen Xin said this and even she shivered at her own words, unable to resist shaking her tiny body.
Tang Shu, feeling helpless, "Being inseparable is hardly necessary, and you’re just wearing a thin jacket in this cold weather?"
"Wow~~~ Xiao Shushu, you actually care about me? If this conversation was posted online, those fans shipping our couple would go crazy!"
A snicker came from inside the car, which then grew louder and louder, apparently coming from several people.
Stepping into the van, Tang Shu realized that Wang Honghong and the others had already arrived.
"You guys took the same flight as me?"
All four members of the "You Smile" crew were present and accounted for.
"Yeah, we landed half an hour ago. Chen Xin insisted on waiting for you, totally sidelining her official partner."
Wang Honghong complained, only to be immediately exposed by the mentioned Chen Xin.
"Xiao Shushu, don’t listen to him, he never tells the truth. This episode of ’Let’s Detective Together’ invited five guest stars, and one is still not here."
Tang Shu nodded and was promptly pulled by Chen Xin to sit next to her.
Su Xiaochi, not needing any invitation, with her sharp eye, quickly identified who was the assistant and voluntarily sat among the crew.
As everyone settled in, the van door was again pulled open, and a head with short black hair squeezed in.
"Is this the ’Let’s Detective Together’ crew.... Hey! Tang Shu!!!"
The newcomer spotted Tang Shu in the crowd immediately, her eyes gleaming mischievously. Seeing the puzzled looks from everyone, she pulled down the black mask on her face to reveal her true identity.
Seeing the familiar handsome face, Tang Shu hesitated slightly.
"It’s me, it’s me, what a coincidence. I hadn’t expected you to be the guest star this episode!"
Zhang Yilin’s eyes sparkled mysteriously, his heart shouting hooray.
Chen Xin next to Tang Shu immediately acted as if facing a great enemy, the next instant clinging onto the slender arm beside her.
"Xiao Shushu is mine; what’s with that look in your eyes?"
Something seemed off!
Outside the van, Zhang Yilin’s manager, who had followed just behind, also saw Tang Shu, and his expression instantly mirrored Chen Xin’s.
As if facing a great enemy!
Why is it this little ancestor again?!
The manager mechanically turned to look at his own artist and indeed saw Zhang Yilin revert to his goofy self.
Damn, his dorky image is doomed to never change.
The next day, at the "Let’s Detective Together" crew.
After the five regular stars and five guest stars had gathered, the crew began shooting the latest case.
"Hello everyone, welcome to ’Let’s Detective Together’. This is the most crowded episode our program has ever had. More people means the identities are more complex and harder to guess than ever. It also means there are more team members."
The director, holding a megaphone, stood in front of the ten stars and went through the game rules once again.
As soon as the voice fell, the regular stars let out a collective groan, while the five newcomers on camera looked completely bewildered, having no clue how difficult the game was about to get.
The stark contrast between the two groups gave the program team their first highlight.
Behind the camera, the assistant director chuckled and pointed at the five people on the right.
"For post-editing, pair this with captions like ’I have no idea what’s going on, who am I, where am I’, this is the effect we want!"
