A Glitch in the Entertainment Industry - Chapter 58

Chapter 58: Reunited with Xia Wei

The production team invited three guests for this particular episode. Apart from An Wen and Xia Wei, there was another popular young man named Tang Ting.

Coincidentally, she reunited with Xia Wei when she landed at the airport. He noticed her too and quickly ran towards her in excitement. “What a coincidence, Lil Sis An.”

The two were wearing caps and masks. Fortunately, Xia Wei’s itinerary was not revealed to the public. Otherwise, they would have been stuck at the airport, being surrounded by fans.

“Get into your car and we’ll communicate over the phone,” said An Wen before she hurried into her car.

Xia Wei immediately called her once he got into the car. “Lil Sis An, you were so cold towards me. We’ve not seen each other for a long time, after all.”

“Big Brother, don’t you understand your own status? The airport was so crowded! If I were caught speaking to you in public, we would definitely get surrounded by fans within seconds.”

“I think you’re only saying that because you want to head to the hotel earlier for a good rest,” Xia Wei said angrily.

“Why are you so intelligent?” she replied.

“You really break my heart. I couldn’t sleep last night because I was too excited to meet you! But Lil Sis An, you heartless little girl…”

Xia Wei was still speaking when An Wen hung up. She could not handle any more of his cheesiness.

They were well-rested at night in the hotel and left for the shooting location at 6 a.m. the next morning.

In the car, Xia Wei was reminded by his agent, “Please promise me you’ll keep a distance from An Wen for the rest of the day.”

Xia Wei thought that sounded ridiculous. “You think An Wen will try to take advantage of my fame?”

His agent smiled coldly and explained, “You tend to become unbelievably dumb once you’re with her. I don’t want you to let your fans down.”

He actually could not refute that so he simply grunted, “I’ll… I’ll think about this later.”

As expected, once they arrived at the shooting location, Xia Wei was grinning from ear to ear when he noticed An Wen was dressed in a blue outfit just like him. He ran towards her and announced, “That’s awesome Lil Sis An, we’re on the same team!”

Everyone at the scene was taken aback at what they witnessed. Was that Xia Wei? The handsome man who was known for his cold attitude?

An Wen realized the awkwardness too and she quickly whispered to him, “Do you still want to retain your God-like image, Big Brother?”

Xia Wei instantly stood upright and put on a serious look on his face. He looked like a tender, thoughtful big brother when he smiled, but once the smile disappeared from his face, his cold, handsome appearance was able to keep everyone at a distance of a thousand miles. The contrast was impressive.

“Lil Sis An, you and me, we’re the same kind of person. One day, you’ll finally reveal your sly foxtail,” he muttered under his breath.

“I’m not your kind of person,” replied An Wen.

Tang Ting also arrived at the location. Being a newbie to the entertainment scene, he greeted Xia Wei in a polite manner.

“Greetings, Senior Xia Wei.”

“Hello.” The two of them shook hands warmly.

The regular guests always arrived at the shooting location earlier. The regular guests appeared really surprised at their guests of the day. However, the guests of the day were still given a warm welcome. Soon, Xia Wei noticed that everyone else was wearing a similar blue outfit.

They commenced with the shooting since all the guests had arrived. The director distributed to each guest their respective missions.

In order to promote the drama “Calming the Cosmos,” they had changed the theme of the day to the Heiyun Xuanyuan tribes. The celebrities’ identity and mission were revealed to them on their individual mission cards.

An Wen’s mission card stated that she belonged to the Heiyun tribe. She was tasked with locating two other members from the Heiyun tribe, then disqualifying the members of the Xuanyuan tribe by tearing off the name tag on their back, all the while trying her best to survive to the end. The secret way to identify with members of the Heiyun tribe was to shake their hands three times.

Today’s itinerary for the episode was for the guests to fight against each other without rules. The person who survived until the end would bring glory and victory to their tribe. The shooting was set at the Library of University B.

This was the first time in which new guests were required to fight each other without any warm-up games or prelude.

He Jie, the team leader, suggested that everyone shake hands with one another before the contest commenced. Taking this opportunity, An Wen shook hands with all the guests. When it came to He Jie, An Wen raised her head to meet his gaze when he shook her hand three times. Then, he winked at her.
