The variety show director’s vision of “You Draw, I Guess”: She acts it out, she guesses randomly, we all have a bright future.
Jiang Nanxi’s version of “You Draw, I Guess”: Drop the melon, drop the melon, drop more melons.
A poker-faced scandal-exposing machine, the entertainment industry’s melon messenger. Yet, when she revealed these things, her expression was serious and innocent, seemingly genuinely striving for the hundred yuan prize.
Ruan Qiuci, a seasoned gossip connoisseur, knew all about the melons Jiang Nanxi mentioned, instantly guessing who she was referring to.
Five questions, less than two minutes, all solved.
Si Ying was dumbfounded, wanting more: “Director, can’t we have a couple more questions?”
He Xi sat beside, trembling, silently praying for the game to end.
The production team didn’t expect Jiang Nanxi to turn the game into this, so for effect, they added a few more questions.
After the game, the “You Draw, I Guess” segment went viral online. Paparazzi and marketing accounts rushed to investigate and verify Jiang Nanxi’s claims.
The feud between Queens and the rival boy group was also thoroughly exposed.
@IOnlyEatMelons: Insider information says that when Queens hadn’t debuted yet, the members were invited to the rival group’s variety show, and were tricked, having their leg circumference measured, forced to do backbends, and bullied by staff. Nan Nan probably held a grudge.
Netizen 1: I remember that episode, don’t mention it, it made me sick.
Netizen 2: They always mocked the Queens fans for being unable to fight, thinking the male group had higher popularity and more endorsements.
Netizen 3: Look at how long they’ve debuted, Queens just debuted, okay?
Netizen 4: Our Nanmei really holds a grudge… a seemingly innocent but actually ruthless person?!
Netizen 5: How could she not hold a grudge? Nanmei’s self-arranged music for a performance was directly used by the rival group, claiming it was their own. They denied it even with proof, saying the arrangement ideas were the same, deserving to be hammered.
Not only Weibo, but Douban, Xiaohongshu, even WeChat groups were buzzing with discussion, with someone quickly compiling a summary.
《A PDF to Help You Understand Nanmei’s Melon Drop》
Timeline: Queens and the rival group have a feud (see screenshot for details). Someone from the rival group tried to hit on a Queens member. Then, Queens members discovered that this member had three girlfriends at the same time.
He had a first love girlfriend, a station master girlfriend, and was trying to get a Queens member as girlfriend number three, but the member saw through him and he ended up with a girl from the same show who didn’t debut.
The three girlfriends didn’t know each other, but after Nanmei’s revelation and netizens’ investigation, they all know each other now. They’re now exposing him online, discovering his lines to each girlfriend were identical, pure copy-paste. Therefore, this boy group’s face is now nicknamed “Copycat.”
In addition, there are also rumors of selling himself, group bathroom hookups… the poster is still compiling, please wait. ps: Nanmei, you are my god! I’ve never eaten so many melons in one go!
One can imagine how many people will be working/studying with dark circles under their eyes tomorrow.
This precious melon-filled PDF went viral online.
Jiang Nanxi’s name was everywhere.
#Thank you Jiang Nanxi, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t know how many years I would have been blinded by a scumbag idol#
#Next time I stan a male idol, I’ll let Nanmei play a round of “You Draw, I Guess” first#
#Protecting our Jiang Nanxi! The last righteous person in the entertainment industry#
The internet was abuzz with discussion.
In the show, except for He Xi, whose face was awkward, the other guests remained calm.
He Xi was incredibly grateful that his name wasn’t in the questions.
Otherwise, he would have faced Jiang Nanxi’s melon-dropping attack.
Leng Yuanzhi, after hearing all the gossip, said: “Today’s young people really play hard.”
Si Ying, still wanting more: “Nan Nan, next time you play “You Draw, I Guess,” remember to bring me along.”
Tang Wanning was dumbfounded, bumping Xia Zhiyan’s arm: “Really okay?”
Xia Zhiyan just smiled: “What’s not okay?”
“When did telling the truth become a problem?”
Tang Wanning thought, was that the truth? That was a melon that would cause an earthquake in the entertainment industry!
“Aren’t you afraid she’ll upset others?”
Xia Zhiyan smiled without speaking.
As long as she wants, the entertainment industry is hers.
What’s there to worry about?
Moreover, in front of so many people, if someone was unhappy with Nan Nan and wanted to retaliate, she’s not a decoration, and neither are the audience’s eyes and brains.
However, something did concern Xia Zhiyan.
After the game, Xia Zhiyan took a moment to leave the camera and get her phone from her manager, glancing at it to understand what happened.
She hadn’t mentioned a word of Jiang Nanxi’s grievances to her. Why didn’t she tell her?
“Zhiyan, how should we handle this?” Manager Song asked.
“Investigate the situation further, and then, anything related to Nan Nan, report it to me first.”
“Okay.”
Manager Song found Xia Zhiyan amusing. Whenever it came to Jiang Nanxi, Xia Zhiyan changed. Usually, Xia Zhiyan didn’t care much about what she said about Jiang Nanxi. She only cared about whether she was enjoying her acting.
But when it came to Jiang Nanxi, Xia Zhiyan changed.
Good thing. Manager Song thought. If Xia Zhiyan was willing to participate in the intrigues of the entertainment industry, things would be very exciting. She meant, from now on, she might have two of the most powerful celebrities in the entire entertainment industry.
Thinking of this, Manager Song was elated as she left.
After Manager Song left, Xia Zhiyan went to her room. Her hand was just about to touch the doorknob when the door opened from the inside.
Jiang Nanxi stood inside, smiling at her: “Sister, you’re back.”
Xia Zhiyan was momentarily stunned by the smile. She thought of the messages she had just seen on her phone. She didn’t know before, but she understood today that Nan Nan was called a “smile killer” by her fans.
As the name suggests, no one could escape after seeing her smile. Bright, brilliant, those beautiful eyes seemed to only contain one person.
Xia Zhiyan took a step back, her heart calmed: “Yes.”
“Going out?” Xia Zhiyan asked.
Jiang Nanxi: “I heard a sound and wondered if Sister was returning to the room, so I came to take a look.”
“It really was Sister.”
Saying this, she smiled again. Xia Zhiyan had seen this smile many times. From childhood to adulthood, she was always greeted by this smile when she returned home. No matter what happened, Jiang Nanxi always looked at her like this.
She should have been used to it, but now it felt different. Was it because of what the fans said?
“Sister?” Seeing Xia Zhiyan didn’t move, Jiang Nanxi asked, “What’s wrong?”
“If it’s about what just happened—”
“No.” Xia Zhiyan denied it immediately. “It’s not related to that.” Xia Zhiyan entered the room, took off her coat, hung it on the rack, and said to Jiang Nanxi, “Nan Nan can do whatever she wants, it’s not related to that.”
“Then what are you thinking about?”
Xia Zhiyan turned, looking at Jiang Nanxi. The things she had just learned flashed through her mind.
“Nan Nan.” Xia Zhiyan sighed, reaching out to hug the girl.
The hug was sudden, Jiang Nanxi stumbled. She leaned forward, Xia Zhiyan leaning against the wall. The clothes rack wobbled, but thankfully didn’t fall.
Jiang Nanxi: “Sister, the cameras are still…”
She wanted to remind Xia Zhiyan, afraid she’d feel embarrassed and run away again.
Xia Zhiyan didn’t care. She hugged Jiang Nanxi. The girl leaned against her shoulder, awkwardly.
“Why didn’t you tell me about the grievances?” Xia Zhiyan’s tone was slightly accusatory.
“It’s nothing.” Jiang Nanxi explained, “It’s like this in the entertainment industry. Sister, don’t worry, I wasn’t bullied.”
“It’s different.” Xia Zhiyan stroked Jiang Nanxi’s head, her hair soft and smooth. It felt like petting a puppy.
Xia Zhiyan rested her chin on Jiang Nanxi’s head, looking at the plushies Jiang Nanxi had brought, saying seriously: “You’re my little girl, there’s no reason for you to suffer.”
She had worked hard in the entertainment industry for so many years, focusing only on acting, ignoring other things because she didn’t care.
But thinking of her carefully raised little girl suffering because of others, Xia Zhiyan couldn’t bear it.
“Tell Sister if anything happens, okay?” Xia Zhiyan asked.
Getting no response, Xia Zhiyan pinched Jiang Nanxi’s earlobe, forcefully asking again: “Hmm?”
Jiang Nanxi couldn’t take it.
Her face was burning red. She wanted to push her sister against the wall and kiss her. She understood now that the online novels weren’t lying. Liking someone meant wanting to kiss them frantically, especially at a moment like this.
But she couldn’t.
She clutched Xia Zhiyan’s clothes, obediently nodding.
“I know, Sister.”
“Then Sister should tell me if she’s upset too.”
Xia Zhiyan chuckled: “What could upset me?”
“No matter what,” Jiang Nanxi insisted, “You have to tell me.”
She didn’t have a ruthless approach, only the impulsive passion of a young person. If anyone dared to speak ill of Xia Zhiyan in front of her, Jiang Nanxi thought, clenching her clothes.
“Right, Sister, does your waist still hurt?”
The sudden change of topic caught Xia Zhiyan off guard.
Jiang Nanxi said: “Let me rub it for you?”
