At this moment, not only was Chai Liang internally devastated, but all the viewers in the country, whose hearts were also in turmoil from the latest update, were equally unable to calm down.
Initially, the viewers were still expectant when they saw the game rules of “When It’s Dark, Please Close Your Eyes,” especially when Si Huang took out his special ability, the notepad, and opened the box in the room, revealing its contents. The viewers were in stitches.
Even with the commercial break, the viewers weren’t in a frenzy; most were anticipating Si Huang’s comical cross-dressing.
Yes, comical!
Whether male viewers or Si Huang’s female fans, everyone felt that Si Huang’s cross-dressing would definitely be hilarious.
This was a common perception— a woman dressed as a man was okay, at most she just wouldn’t look like one. But a man dressed as a woman usually looked very strange, since male features were generally more defined than female features.
When the commercial ended and the camera returned to the program, they saw Si Huang covering the camera with a piece of clothing, leaving the screen completely dark.
While it was dark, the camera switched back to Mi Lu and the others. Viewers waited anxiously, many flooding the comments section, convinced this would be the moment Si Huang truly broke down— his first major scandal in his entertainment career, one they absolutely couldn’t miss.
Finally, the camera returned to Si Huang, and all they saw was a hand ripping open the camera lens.
Immediately following was a blindingly smiling face.
After a brief silence, cries of despair erupted almost simultaneously across the country. Countless computer screens suffered the same fate, bombarded with public criticism.
“It’s broken! It’s broken! It’s really broken! Holy crap! This is shattering my sense of aesthetics!” one male viewer cried, on the verge of tears.
“Waaaaah! Your Majesty, you’re so beautiful, how are we women supposed to live? What are we supposed to do? I used to dream of being one of Your Majesty’s girlfriends…! Today, that dream has shattered into pieces. Your Majesty, how can you be so beautiful?!”
“My eyes, my heart, my aesthetic sense, my values, my worldview— all of them have collapsed!”
On this day, screenshots of Si Huang in drag went viral online. The photos were immediately and frantically shared, easily topping the trending lists on various forums and Weibo.
Some people who hadn’t watched the Infinite Collapse episode or didn’t know the show’s content were immediately awestruck upon seeing the photos, exclaiming that this was their future goddess and begging for information about her.
Of course, some people thought the person looked familiar and, noticing the resemblance to Si Huang, asked if she was Si Huang’s sister or if she had entered the entertainment industry.
But after learning the truth, the hearts of countless innocent guys, otakus, and fangirls shattered instantly. Holy crap! “I finally found my dream girl, and you tell me this guy’s a guy?!”
“The master is truly a master, he’s practically defying the heavens!” At Jinghua University, Su Yueban held his tablet, replaying the latest episode of Infinite Collapse, specifically watching Si Huang’s final appearance. “What a pity, what a pity, such a pity!”
“What’s wrong with you now?” Yuan Liang glanced at him.
Su Yueban clicked his tongue. “Why isn’t Si Huang a woman? If he were, I’d sell everything I own to pursue him!”
“If he were really a woman, you wouldn’t have a chance to pursue him,” Yuan Liang said.
Su Yueban thought for a moment, “That’s true.” Then he continued to stare at Si Huang’s smiling face in the video, finding it incredibly pleasing to the eye and making his heart race. “You know, we’ve lived in the same dorm as Si Huang for so long, and we’ve seen his face more than once or twice, but how come he looks so good with just a change of makeup? I used to think our school’s newly selected beauty queen was pretty, but compared to Si Huang, damn it…”
“That’s enough,” Yuan Liang interrupted his infatuated self-talk. “If you’re so capable, wait until Si Huang comes back and say that to his face.”
Su Yueban shuddered at the thought of that scenario, closed his eyes tightly as if in pain, put down the tablet, and covered the front of the screen before letting out a long sigh and opening his eyes.
His exaggerated expression made Yuan Liang unable to bear watching.
“Do you think Si Huang will come back for ZZ’s press conference?” Su Yueban asked.
Yuan Liang thought for a moment and said softly, “Regardless of whether he comes back or not, just considering his recent popularity and influence, just mentioning Fenghuang Entertainment and Si Huang’s names will ensure ZZ’s publicity is strong enough.” “
That’s true.” Su Yueban suddenly sighed, “You know, we’re all in the same grade, how come he’s so amazing? Sometimes I think, it’s really great to have met Si Huang. There are very few people in this world who can truly convince me, but Si Huang is one of them!”
Yuan Liang was silent for a while, then chuckled softly, “Who says otherwise?”
If he hadn’t met Si Huang, he still wouldn’t have a goal in life, just drifting through his studies and working as a paparazzi, always on edge.
Now, however, he felt inexplicably at ease. The employee certificate kept at Fenghuang Entertainment gave him a sense of belonging and security, and the creation of ZZ software also gave him a goal to strive for in the future. This kind of life made him feel very happy.
“Where’s Hao Hao?” Su Yueban asked.
“He’s gone to test ZZ,” Yuan Liang said. “He’s more eager for the software’s release than anyone else.”
Su Yueban smiled smugly. “It won’t be long.”
Soon, his name would be on the list with ZZ’s release. Then let’s see if his relatives still dare to say he’s a rich second-generation who bought his way into Jinghua University with money and connections!
Rome, Italy.
The time difference caused the time and climate to be different on both sides. For some people, if they really want to do something, even the border between countries can’t stop them.
Second Young Master Dou asked to watch the infinite collapse reality show that Si Huang was involved in. Chai Liang obediently gave it to him, but he never expected the situation before him—
Master Qin and Second Young Master were both staring intently at the end of the show, forgetting about the fight.
He thought their fight was over…
But Master Qin suddenly kicked Second Young Master.
Dou Wenqing reacted quickly and blocked it with his hand.
With a “bang,” Chai Liang’s heart ached. He wisely took two steps back, thinking he was an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire.
The next moment, Qin Fan struck with lightning speed, grabbing Dou Wenqing’s wrist that was holding the dagger.
Dou Wenqing twisted his hand, breaking free of Qin Fan’s control at a tricky angle, and the dagger slashed towards his arm.
“Well done, Second Young Master!”
Chai Liang thought to himself.
However, Qin Fan ruthlessly grabbed the blade of the dagger with his own hand.
Dou Wenqing’s expression changed.
“Ugh!”
His hand, which hadn’t let go of the dagger, was twisted so badly that his bones groaned. Dou Wenqing twisted to Qin Fan’s other side, his left hand moving so fast that the naked eye couldn’t even catch how he struck, grazing Qin Fan’s cheek.
Qin Fan turned his head in time, but several strands of hair at his temple were still severed as if by a sharp blade, and four more fine lines of blood, thinner than hair, appeared on his cheek.
“No wonder you dared to steal my woman, you’ve gotten bolder.” Qin Fan said coldly, wiping the wounds on his cheek with his free hand.
Dou Wenqing expressionlessly withdrew the razor blade from his left hand, staring at Qin Fan with chilling eyes, “Are you serious?”
Qin Fan released the dagger from his hand, but there wasn’t a drop of blood on his hand that had been holding the knife, not even a wound.
“Si Huang is the wife I’ve chosen.”
Dou Wenqing’s eyes darkened.
Chai Liang, not far away, almost dropped his tablet in shock.
“This time, I’ll only dislocate your hand because we have the same goal.” Qin Fan said, “If you dare to mess with Si Huang again next time, I’ll really cripple you.”
During his trip to Italy, he met Dou Wenqing here, and Qin Fan knew that the other party must also be involved in that matter. For the sake of the bigger picture, crippling Dou Wenqing would be a waste of our own manpower and negatively impact the overall situation.
Dou Wenqing looked up. “I’m very interested in him.”
“Keep it to yourself.” Qin Fan’s lips twitched. “If you don’t want to die, then endure it.”
Dou Wenqing saw the seriousness in his eyes. Even though he was better at hiding it than when he was younger, he couldn’t conceal his ruthless nature.
Like a wild beast, he fiercely guarded what he owned, tearing apart anyone who dared to take it away.
“You’ve really had a hard time.” Dou Wenqing lowered his head, straightening his dislocated right hand with his left. His face paled, but his expression remained unchanged. “I’m not the only one who wants to steal your man. From today onwards, even more men will be eyeing Si Huang.”
Qin Fan’s lips twitched. He had to admit that Dou Wenqing really knew how to hit a nerve; a casual remark could stab someone in the heart.
Just thinking about seeing Si Huang in women’s clothing on the tablet and the man called Fourth Master who had appeared by chance, Qin Fan’s chest burned with anger. He regretted letting Si Huang go last night.
He just wanted to grab the kid and give her a good talking-to. Couldn’t he stop attracting so much attention?! “But you’d have to be able to dig it up first.” Qin Fan stared intently at Dou Wenqing, warning again, “Don’t force me to take action against the Dou family.”
Dou Wenqing looked up sharply. “I won’t use the Dou family’s influence in this matter.”
“Very good.” Qin Fan sneered. “You’re acting like a man now.”
This sentence reminded Dou Wenqing of some unpleasant past events, and he said ominously, “Don’t underestimate my personal power.”
Qin Fan glanced at him twice, then turned and left.
Just as he was about to step out of the training ground, he suddenly sneered, “I’m underestimating your personal charm.”
“…” Dou Wenqing.
Chai Liang: “…”
Watching Qin Ye’s figure disappear through the door, Chai Liang was chilled by the cold aura emanating from the second young master.
“Talking to me about personal charm.” Dou Wenqing’s icy voice rang out.
Chai Liang heard a “snap” as a knife plunged into a sandbag in the distance, completely piercing it and causing the sand inside to spill onto the ground in an instant.
“Is his mocking face and wooden head charming?”
Chai Liang heard the Second Young Master ask in a cold, emotionless voice.
“No!” Chai Liang answered immediately.
He thought this would be enough, but then he heard the Second Young Master Dou ask, “What about me?”
Chai Liang: “…”
Dou Wenqing glanced at him coldly.
Chai Liang said, “According to online surveys, the current trend is the domineering CEO style with an iceberg vibe like the Second Young Master. Si Huang is similar in height and build to the Second Young Master, so many people like her, right? So the Second Young Master is very charming!”
Dou Wenqing said, “Bring me the information on the Dream Ship.”
Chai Liang: “…Okay.” He turned to do his work after speaking, and then the Second Young Master Dou’s voice came from behind, “Put the tablet down.”
“…” Chai Liang didn’t know how many times he had been speechless today. The more shocked he was, the easier it was for him to calm down. He turned around and handed over the tablet as instructed by the Second Young Master Dou. He deliberately spent more than half an hour outside getting the information for the Second Young Master Dou before returning to the training ground.
As soon as he came in, he saw Second Young Master Dou holding the tablet and watching a video. But he put the tablet down when he saw him come in.
Chai Liang figured half an hour should be enough for the Second Young Master to enjoy. Seeing that the Second Young Master seemed to be in a good mood, he knew he had guessed his master’s thoughts correctly this time.
After putting down the documents and standing behind the Second Young Master, Chai Liang made a decision in his heart: he would definitely be polite to Si Shao in the future. This guy was absolutely a monster; if he wasn’t polite, he might get played to death one day without even knowing why.
