In addition to melon seeds, pecans, and goji berries, the audience didn’t expect Ning Xiaoyu to take out jujube from her pockets.

She was carrying more things?

But honestly, it’s a good habit for girls to carry jujube with them. After all, there are a few days every month when a girl can eat some to nourish their blood. Plus it also had many benefits.

Seeing Ning Xiaoyu eating silently, everyone had different thoughts. Xi Rui couldn’t help but lean over and say, “Xiaoyu, do you still have more?” She ate goji berries earlier and wanted to try jujubes this time.

Ning Xiaoyu didn’t bring much with her. Having three or four pieces a day should be enough since she didn’t want to overeat. She glanced down at the small pouch containing jujubes and said, “There’s five more.”

Xi Rui wasn’t disdainful and immediately answered, “A few is enough for me.” In the end, Xi Rui took three pieces while Shen Yueyue took two.

Not many people paid attention to Ning Yuwei’s singing as most of the viewers were staring at the three female guests enjoying jujubes. They listened to the affectionate love song while munching on.

【Hahahaha, I’m dying of laughter! First goji berries, then jujubes. What else will Xiao Yu bring out?】

【Xiao Yu: I’ll take out a big treasure to show you. Dog head.jpg】

【Xiao Yu: As long as it’s food, there’s nothing I won’t take with me. Squinty-eyed smile.jpg】

【Looking at them makes me want to eat jujube too. Xiao Yu’s enjoying it too much!】

【I didn’t expect Xiao Yu to be big on wellness. I’m following a health anchor, hahaha.】

In fact, jujube and goji berry tea was more effective than goji berry tea alone, but adding jujube wasn’t suitable for Lu Jingdu, so Ning Xiaoyu only brewed the goji berry.

By the time she finished eating, Ning Yuwei and Xu Cheng had also finished their performance.

Mu Jiajia clapped in support and the rest of the guests followed suit, however, Ning Yuwei’s expression wasn’t very good.

When other guests came forward to perform, Ning Xiaoyu just sat there and did nothing, but when it was her turn, Ning Xiaoyu started eating. Ning Xiaoyu used her as a backdrop for her antics!

Not many listened to her sing because their attention was all drawn away by Ning Xiaoyu! Is watching Ning Xiaoyu eat jujube really that interesting?!

If viewers could hear Ning Yuwei’s inner voice, they would reply in the affirmative. Yes, it’s really interesting!

Who doesn’t like watching hamsters gnawing on pine nuts? To them, the picture of Ning Xiaoyu eating jujubes was as cute as that.

After the performance was the highly anticipated bonfire party. The celebrity guests were told to hold hands and dance around the fire as they sang together to create a lively atmosphere.

The staff added logs to the fire and in an instant, the flames soared high.

Night had completely fallen and the burning flame stood out against the dark background, its bright fiery red color illuminating everyone surrounding it.

Holding the loudspeaker, the director gave a light cough. “Find where you want to stand and hold the hands of the people next to you!”

Many guests started wandering around the fire, finding a spot they liked.

Ning Xiaoyu also stood up from her seat. She didn’t want to change position since it was too troublesome. Thus, she remained standing where she was and didn’t care who was on both of her sides.

There was no need to ask questions, just go with the flow.

Before she saw who was standing next to her, the excited voice of the love system rang in her ears, 【The movie king is here!!!】

Ning Xiaoyu: Huh?

The director shouted with a loudspeaker, “Hold hands! Are you still feeling shy with one another? Take each other’s hands! How can you dance around the fire if you don’t hold hands?”

Before Ning Xiaoyu could react, her hands were already held by Shen Yueyue and…… Lu Jingdu.

Everyone faced the bonfire without looking or communicating with each other. On Lu Jingdu’s left was Ning Xiaoyu while on his right was the assistant director. And on Ning Xiaoyu’s left was Shen Yueyue while on her right was Lu Jingdu.

Ning Xiaoyu couldn’t hear much because the love system was too loud.

【Love System: Wuuwuuwuu, Girl, you and the movie king are holding hands and he was the one who took the initiative! Today’s sugar is really good! The sweetness is over the limit!】

Ning Xiaoyu had no expression on her face. “Be normal.”

【Love System: I don’t want to be normal! Wuuwuuwuu, keep the sugar coming!】

Ning Xiaoyu believed that the person who made the love system must be someone who thinks about nothing but love— someone who wouldn’t survive without any sugar. How else would a system like this one, which always issues various artificial tasks with the sole intention of getting sugar, be created?

Unfortunately, the love system was bound to a host who couldn’t understand the charm of romance.

 In addition to the assistant director, most of the staff also joined in.

The director commanded, “Okay! Jump!”

The firelight illuminated the young and beautiful faces. No matter how the guests’ private relationships were, at least at this moment, the joyful atmosphere of the bonfire party spread to every corner of the beach.

Everyone swung their legs, making a common dance move— lift the right foot, then the left foot, and then the right foot once again— they repeated this simple action over and over again.

To get the viewers to notice them more, several celebrity guests wore bright business smiles on their faces, festive to the point of being ready for the spring festival gala.

At this time, Ning Xiaoyu, who only wanted to laze around, seemed a bit dazed. She was wearing a salted fish onesie while swinging her legs slightly. It could be seen that her business attitude was perfunctory, but the hood of her outfit moved along with her, adding a touch of humor to the scene.

【Laughing to death. The salted fish has really become a spirit!】

【The salted fish is swinging its flippers!】

【The salted fish is actually moving!】

【Ning Xiaoyu: What? Can you speak politely? Hahahaha.】

The audience felt that they should praise the maker of the onesie because the salted fish head was simply too realistic! That pair of dead fish eyes with more white than black was really vivid as if the emoji had come to life.

Everyone sang and danced, and the scene was full of joy. The bonfire party was a great success.

However, the most successful one was Ning Xiaoyu, who became the most popular guest with the viewers.

When she first joined this variety show, the number of her social media followers hadn’t even exceeded 10,000. She didn’t have current work or buy bots, so her Weibo was hard to look at.

After landing on several hot searches, her followers exceeded 1 million. And after that night, it broke through the 1.5 million mark in one fell swoop.

In front of other celebrities with tens of millions of followers, 1.5 million might not be something to look at, but these were loyal fans with high stickiness. If Ning Xiaoyu bought something, most of them would buy it as well.

Ning Xiaoyu didn’t feel much about gaining a massive amount of followers overnight, but the next morning, when she came down to the living room, she noticed a subtle difference in the atmosphere. And the way Mu Jiajia looked at her seemed to carry some deep meaning.

However, Ning Xiaoyu was too lazy to bother with the other party. She used 4 friendship coins to buy herself a bowl of dumplings with thin skin and plenty of stuffing. She also took a small dish of vinegar to dip it in.

Shen Yueyue got a portion of congee with preserved egg and lean meat, and the two of them chatted casually while eating breakfast. Suddenly, Shen Yueyue’s voice turned mysterious, “Did you notice something?”

Ning Xiaoyu shook her head. “Notice what?”

Shen Yueyue lowered her voice, “Look at Mu Jiajia’s earrings.”

Ning Xiaoyu glanced up and realized where that subtle feeling from earlier had come from. The design of Mu Jiajia’s earrings was actually a salted fish.

However, what other people wear is their freedom. Ning Xiaoyu didn’t care nor could she control it.

Once everyone had filled their stomachs, the day’s activity was announced.

The director smiled and said, “Everyone looks like you had a great time at the bonfire party yesterday. Unfortunately, there will be no such thing today.” Before the guests could show regretful expressions on their faces, the director immediately added, “However, we’re going to a nearby landscape park and you can think about what activities you want to do.”

The guests of 《Hi, My Friend》 have a high degree of freedom. The whole filming process was unscripted and it was up to the guests to set the tone they wanted.

———pr


The park was only an hour’s drive away.

As soon as they got out of the car, the director pointed to a pavilion not far away. “Everyone will be doing activities there until the afternoon, don’t spread out.” The previous incident with the obsessive fan ended fine but it still frightened the director.

No matter who had an accident in their crew, it wouldn’t be a small matter. That was why he had the celebrity guests move in groups. It would make it livelier, and if something unexpected happened again, the others could help promptly.

There were many retired elders in the park, and as the pavilion wasn’t small, some of them even played chess nearby.

Ning Xiaoyu was just about to find a comfortable place to lie down when the voice of the love system suddenly sounded in her ear, 【Girl, the movie king has gone to play chess with a retired veteran cadre. The movie king is excellent at chess, watching him play is definitely a kind of enjoyment. At this moment, it’s time to show your caring and clingy side. You can—

A: Stand behind the movie king and call out to him the whole time!

B: When the current game is over, play against the movie king and tell him, “This is a love-hate relationship!”

C: Attract the movie king with another form of entertainment and invite him to join you!】

Ning Xiaoyu glanced at the three options and was about to decide what to pick when she saw Mu Jiajia from the corner of her eye. The other party found an open space and lay down comfortably. Before Ning Xiaoyu could react, the love system exclaimed, 【Girl, she seems to be imitating you! How could she?!】

Although the love system disliked its host not acting as it expected, it didn’t mean that it was fine with others imitating its host. At this time, it wasn’t only the love system that discovered what was happening, but also the sharp-eyed viewers.

【What is Mu Jiajia doing?】

【Is she imitating Ning Xiaoyu?】

【Upstairs, you’re really funny. Who says only Ning Xiaoyu can lie down and sleep? Do you never lie down? I’m dying of laughter. It’s not like Ning Xiaoyu has a patent on it or something.】

The love system was filled with righteous indignation, but the person involved, Ning Xiaoyu, didn’t react much. Mu Jiajia could imitate her if she wanted to. She couldn’t go over and demand the other party not to lie down, could she?

Ning Xiaoyu isn’t interested in playing chess or go, finding it too boring. Therefore, she didn’t choose options A and B, and reluctantly picked option C.

C ah…… The love system immediately forgot about Mu Jiajia. It looked expectant. What activity would Ning Xiaoyu choose to attract Lu Jingdu to join along?

Would it be basking in the sun together, or eating melon seeds together? Alternatively, they could also drink goji berry tea together! No matter what activity, as long as two people were together, it was sweet.

Under the love system’s expectant gaze, it saw Ning Xiaoyu borrow a fishing rod, hooked the bait, flung it with ease, and then sat on the chair, motionless as a mountain, and began to leisurely fish.

Love System: This…… This……

Why was it different from the sweet picture it imagined?
