Chapter 191: Chapter 191: Is This Jealousy? Chapter 191: Chapter 191: Is This Jealousy? He cleared his throat lightly, “Since she’s a guest, we can’t let her be alone. As one of the hosts of the Dining House, I naturally have to take good care of this guest.”

His implication was obvious–he wanted to team up with the mystery guest.

Upon seeing this, Xia Wenyan immediately raised his hand to signal, “I want to team up with Miao’er!”

He already disliked Xia Wenjin, so his targets for forming a team were only Du Miao’er and the mystery guest. Now that Pei Huai had chosen the mystery guest, his only option left was Du Miao’er.

If he didn’t choose now, considering the director’s nature, there was a good chance he would be paired with Xia Wenjin.

He might as well die!

Sure enough, as soon as he spoke out, the director’s eyebrows furrowed.

The purpose of teaming up was to intensify conflicts. He had just been considering how to make Xia Wenjin and Xia Wenyan team up when Pei Huai beat him to the punch.

The timing was perfect, but Xia Wenyan had spoken up first.

Just as he was about to add a new rule, he heard Pei Huai speak again, “Sorry, our Yanyan is just worried about Miao’er being shy, as she is the youngest sister in the Dining House. Plus, the two guests came together and must be familiar with each other by now, which makes teaming up more convenient.”

The “bullet screen” comments exploded because of Pei Huai’s words.

[Huating Seeking Yanyan: Oh my god!! Mama! The CP (Couple Pairing) I ship is real! No matter how our Yanyan phrased it, Mr. Pei always has his back, hahaha, it’s true love, no doubts…]
[Tan Duo Fish Fish: Tsk tsk, Mr. Pei. Just spoil him!]
[Leave White 10 Percent: You in front, shipping everything will only hurt you.]
[Tan Duo Fish Fish: Shipping everything keeps my nutrition balanced!]
…

Watching the live stream room heat up again, the director had to temporarily abandon the idea of announcing a new rule.

He cleared his throat lightly, “The new guest will arrive at the Dining House at noon, so everyone can go ahead and receive your tasks.”

The director had just finished speaking when he heard the assistant director run over, “Director, the mystery guest has already arrived.”

The director was also surprised, but thinking about the potential for a massive brawl in their live stream room after the appearance of the mystery guest, the thought excited him.

After watching all the guest teams draw their Task Cards, the director continued, “We’ve just been informed that our mystery guest has arrived. Everyone can guess her identity–she’s familiar with two of the guests present.”

The whole live stream room also started to guess.

[Familiar with two guests present, that’s such a broad range, where do we even start guessing?]
[Could it be Mr. Pei’s friend? No, my CP must not have a Bad End!]
[Aside from Mr. Pei, everyone on this show is low-profile. Maybe someone else who’s familiar is low-profile too?]
[Our Xia Wenjin is not low-profile! She’s a hot young star!]
[To the one before, you might want to get checked for delusions. Du Miao’er has starred as the leading actress in three dramas and her fans don’t dare call her a hot young star, yet an internet celebrity with a scandal-ridden reputation dares to claim she’s hot?]
…

Seeing the intense discussion in the live stream room, the director added another clue, “This person also blew up recently but is still a non-celebrity…”

Once he said this, the people in the live stream room immediately understood.

[It’s the National Sister! Wuli Yanyan’s Lu Zhaozhao!]
[Can’t be, right? If it’s really the sister, wouldn’t Yanyan know?]
[Looking at the expression of that moron, it’s impossible, impossible…]
[Above, looking at that moron’s expression, it’s not impossible.]
[…]
Just as the discussion in the live stream room was especially heated, the popularity of the broadcast had already broken through 3 million.

This made the director excited.

Their live-streaming show had been small-budget from the start, and when Pei Huai joined last time, he felt like he had hit the jackpot.

Later, Lu Zhaozhao took the initiative to appear as a mystery guest and even added investment, making the director dizzy with happiness.

Now, watching the hot topic climb, he felt like the sponsors were waving at him!

Since they didn’t know who the newcomer was, all the guests present casually guessed a name.

Seeing the effect he wanted was fully achieved, the director immediately opened the door and let Lu Zhaozhao in.

For a moment, the expressions of the guests present varied, with Xia Wenyan immediately running over and hugging her, “Zhaozhao, how come you’re here?”

Following that, as if he had thought of something, he immediately said to Pei Huai, “Pei Huai, I want to switch teams with you, I want to be on the same team as my sister!”

Lu Zhaozhao was hugged by Xia Wenyan so tightly she couldn’t move, and she looked at her excessively excited fourth brother with a bit of a cry and a laugh.

She had appeared as a mystery guest precisely because she was worried Xia Wenyan would be too impulsive.

She had thought that he might restrain himself a little in front of the cameras, but now it seemed she had thought too much.

Pei Huai gently pressed his temples and walked over to “pluck” Xia Wenyan away from Lu Zhaozhao’s side.

His voice was gentle, “Yanyan, if you scare the mystery guest away, who’ll be on my team?”

Then, he held Xia Wenyan in his arms and smiled at Lu Zhaozhao, nodding, “Hello, Zhao Mei, welcome to the Dining House. I’m Pei Huai.”

Lu Zhaozhao also nodded, but her gaze at Pei Huai clearly held a trace of surprise.

Pei Huai…

The popular movie star.

In her previous life, she had heard this name, not because she cared about the entertainment industry that much.

Aside from the scandal of her brother, the popular idol Xia Wenyan, suddenly dying from drug overdose, another shocking news that rocked the Shangjing Circle was the serial murder case involving movie star Pei Huai.

She remembered that just over a month after Xia Wenyan’s death, this news broke, and many said the entertainment industry was finished.

So, the impression was very deep for her.

Lu Zhaozhao’s brows furrowed, and when she looked at Pei Huai again, her eyes were somewhat complicated.

She really couldn’t tell that this gentle and elegant man before her was a murderer.

At that time, her attention was elsewhere, and she didn’t pay much attention to the details of the case.

Lu Zhaozhao pursed her lips silently and sighed. When did such a dangerous person appear by her fourth brother’s side?

[Wow, is Mr. Pei getting jealous?]
[Ah!!! Sibling CP for the win!]
[Did no one on scene notice Xia Wenjin’s expression? Her face is as black as the bottom of a pot!]
[Director, you’re so good, are you trying to stir things up?! Ahahaha, I love it!]
[Let’s get it started, let’s get it started~~~]
Seeing the audience in the live stream room grow another wave in number, the director’s eyes practically shone.

“Alright, now that everyone has arrived, let’s follow the usual routine and start with a simple self-introduction.”

No sooner had the director finished speaking than the live broadcast camera focused on the several people present.

Normally, they would start with new guests according to the order of arrival, so the live broadcast camera first turned to Xia Wenjin.

“Hello, everyone, I’m Xia Wenjin, the recently popular beauty of Yuqing University, and currently…”
