You said you'd just lie down and relax, how did you become a top influencer?

Chapter 85 Circus Brothers

In the courtyard, Li Yang sat next to Chen Zize, a look of regret on his face.

"Zize, I really should have listened to you!"

"Brother Xu is really toxic. I feel uncomfortable all over now. I don't want to record variety shows anymore, and I don't want to rap anymore!"

Seeing Li Yang's greatly affected expression, Chen Zize was not surprised and comforted him:

"Sigh, you'll get used to it. Just stay away from Xu An from now on."

As he said this, Chen Zize couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a smile.

Now you know you regret it?

Why didn't you do this sooner!

Chen Zize was gloating when he saw Li Yang suddenly realize something and say:

"Yeah, I'm only recording this one episode, but Zize, you have many more to go. Compared to you, I'm the lucky one!"

As he said this, a look of relief appeared on Li Yang's face.

It's worth noting that Chen Zize's journey to participate in "Peach Blossom Spring" was far from smooth.

Many people in the company are vying with him for this valuable resource!

This also includes Li Yang.

Previously, Li Yang had been secretly regretting that he had not been able to compete with Chen Zize.

He no longer has that idea at all.

The show has Xu An, this devilish character, so whoever wants to come can come!

Chen Zize, who had been gloating over Li Yang's misfortune, stopped laughing.

Yeah, what am I so happy about?

Compared to Li Yang, who only had a trial card, I am the one with a long and arduous road ahead.

"Zize, you don't need to be too upset. At least with Brother Xu around, the show's entertainment value won't be bad."

Now it was Li Yang's turn to turn around and comfort Chen Zize.

Upon hearing this, Chen Zize glared at him irritably.

"What if you're just there for the show?"

Li Yang stopped laughing.

The conversation between the two amused the viewers in the live stream.

[Smile, why aren't you smiling anymore? Don't you like smiling?]

[Haha, no wonder they're just pretending to be teammates; they started hurting each other after only two minutes of pretending!]

What do you mean by "mutually destructive"?

After a moment of silence, Chen Zize managed a forced smile.

"Haha, actually, Xu An has suffered losses before too!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yang's eyes lit up immediately.

He didn't have any ill intentions towards Xu An, but having just been thoroughly humiliated by Xu An, he naturally wanted to see Xu An suffer a little setback as well.

Immediately afterward, he heard Chen Zize say, with a hint of self-consolation:

"Look, no matter what, it's just the two of us enjoying the cool breeze in the yard, while Xu An is stuck in the sweltering heat in the kitchen, right?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yang was speechless.

You're proud of not being able to cook?

So you think they're at a disadvantage just because they were only heated for a short while?

However, it must be said that the mental victory method does have some effect.

After Chen Zize's words, Li Yang felt a little better and nodded. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Zhang Lin come out of the living room and greet them:

"The watermelon's ready! You two come in and have a taste!"

Upon hearing this, the two of them lit up and quickly went into the living room.

Sure enough, there were several slices of watermelon cut on the living room table.

The two of them each took a petal and took a big gulp.

While showing satisfaction, Li Yang also said with some regret, "It's a pity it's not iced..."

Chen Zize, standing to the side, asked curiously:

"Uncle Zhang, where did this watermelon come from?"

Zhang Lin said with a smile:

"This was given to the children by their parents after Yunxi and I took them back."

Zhang Lin's words answered Chen Zize's doubts, but caused a glint to flash in Li Yang's eyes.

He leaned closer to Chen Zize, revealing a sinister smile, and said, "Zize, Uncle Zhang and the others didn't come back until Brother Xu went to cook."

"So, Brother Xu hasn't eaten any watermelon yet!"

"What if we casually took a watermelon to the kitchen and showed it off..."

"Isn't that a bit childish?"

Hearing Li Yang's suggestion, Chen Zize was somewhat tempted, but he also felt that such a childish thing was not quite in line with his status, so he hesitated.

"Zize, don't you want Brother Xu to suffer a loss at your hands?"

It's no wonder Li Yang is Chen Zize's teammate; he perfectly understands Chen Zize's thoughts.

As soon as Li Yang finished speaking, Chen Zize stood up with a watermelon in his hand and walked straight to the kitchen in the backyard.

"Wait for me!"

Li Yang quickly grabbed a slice of watermelon and followed.

Where are they?

Zhang Lin was puzzled when he came out of the restaurant and saw the empty living room.

"I was also wondering if you'd like to chill the watermelon?"

"Xiaobai took all the food that was frozen to the kitchen!"

...

Unaware of what they had missed, the ST duo approached the kitchen with serious expressions, carrying watermelons.

Standing outside the kitchen, the two looked at each other and found that they both looked very serious.

They looked even more serious than when they performed on stage!

The two nodded, and then pushed open the door at the same time.

"Xu An, are you hot? Do you need to...?"

"Brother Xu, this watermelon is quite sweet, you..."

The two were talking with smiles on their faces when they suddenly stopped, looking at the scene in the kitchen.

Xu An, who was eating the icy watermelon that Shen Wanwan had fed him and enjoying the cool breeze that Bai Ge was gently fanning him with, turned around and looked at Chen Zize and Li Yang as they walked into the kitchen. He asked with some confusion, "What are you two doing here?"

"Let's see how your cooking is going, Brother Xu."

Li Yang spoke with great difficulty, as if something was stuck in his throat.

Chen Zize, standing to the side, remained silent, his eyes filled with doubt, as if he felt he was in a dream.

Seeing the two of them like this, Xu An blinked but didn't pay any attention. At the same time, he also noticed the watermelons in their hands and casually said something.

"This chilled watermelon is pretty delicious!"

"Ice???"

Li Yang's voice became shrill.

"Oh yeah? Why aren't yours iced?"

Xu An asked, somewhat puzzled.

The older sister standing next to her had a somewhat unfocused look in her eyes.

There were only a few pieces frozen in the refrigerator; Xiao An works so hard cooking.

It's normal to eat a few more pieces, right?

"There was ice, but neither of us likes it, so we didn't take it."

Li Yang forced a smile and said.

Xu An nodded in realization, his voice filled with admiration, "To not eat ice cream in this heat, my idol is truly self-disciplined."

Seeing the admiration in Xu An's eyes, Li Yang and Chen Zize felt particularly aggrieved for some reason.

The viewers in the live stream who witnessed the whole story were laughing hysterically.

I thought I was already a laughingstock just watching An Gou's life through the screen, but I never expected there were experts out there!

[You have iced watermelon but you won't eat it? That's incredibly self-disciplined! /funny]

Although Xu An didn't suffer any loss, he genuinely admires both of you. Why aren't you smiling?

How about we set up the stage like a circus? Do you know what your roles should be?

Even after everyone sat down at the dinner table, Li Yang and Chen Zize were still not over it, drawing strange looks from the others. Zhang Lin was particularly worried and said:

"Xiao Li, Xiao Chen, are you two getting heatstroke?"

Xu An nodded in agreement, but didn't forget to subtly criticize the production team.

"Look how awful the production team is! They didn't even provide air conditioning, and my two good buddies are sweltering!"

"I don't think this has anything to do with us."

Everyone turned around and, unsurprisingly, spotted Chen Hong with a strange expression on her face.
