Are you trying to force me to become a star?

Chapter 101 Lin Gou and the Dog

"Is your hand alright?"

Xu Jinyan changed the subject and asked.

Meng Ziyi looked at her fingers. "They're a little red."

Xu Jinyan: "...Oh."

Meng Ziyi: You just need to say "oh"?

Xu Jinyan: I can't exactly blow on it for you, can I?

Meng Ziyi: That's true.

Xu Jinyan thought for a moment and then comforted her, "This is a good omen! It means you're going to become famous!"

[Positive emotions from Meng Ziyi: +99]

Meng Ziyi said embarrassedly, "No, I just graduated and I still have very little acting experience."

"And even if I become famous, I can't be as famous as you."

Xu Jinyan was taken aback for a moment, finally understanding her straightforwardness. "Your way of praising people is quite unique!"

Meng Ziyi nodded earnestly: "Sister Liying said that it's not easy to ask you to write a song these days."

"We're about the same age, but you're so amazing. You're a natural musical prodigy..."

"Hahahaha..." Xu Jinyan burst into laughter upon hearing this.

The laughter attracted everyone's attention, and they couldn't understand why Xu Jinyan was laughing so happily.

Zhao Liying walked over: "Jinyan, did you bully Ziyi?"

Xu Jinyan smiled and waved her hand, then pointed to Meng Ziyi: "Sister Liying, she has a very unique sense of humor, which is suitable for variety shows."

Meng Ziyi was a little nervous in front of the boss, but she still mustered up her courage and said, "Actually...actually, I really like singing."

"Uh..." Xu Jinyan stopped laughing.

Zhao Liying frowned inwardly. What was she planning to do?

She was about to smooth things over when she heard Xu Jinyan say in a serious tone:

"Then sing a song, let me hear what you think."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Liying felt conflicted and cautiously said, "He really is..."

Meng Ziyi cleared her throat; she felt she had quite a talent:

"The flowing water is more important than the artificiality of traversing mountains."

"Your flammable paper table will smell so good after all these years~"

"..."

Zhao Liying frowned: "What song is this?"

Meng Ziyi: "Xu...Teacher Xu's 'A Journey Along the Mountain Road'!"

The two looked at Xu Jinyan, awaiting his evaluation.

"You sang very well," Xu Jinyan said, seeing the light on Meng Ziyi's face. "But you're not allowed to sing like that again!"

Zhao Liying covered her mouth: "Hahahaha..."

She said something felt off, and thought it was just her imagination.

Meng Ziyi was genuinely puzzled: "Why? Was my singing bad?"

Xu Jinyan had originally thought that maybe you would be singing in a parallel world, since even Xiao Tian became a singer.

But I never expected that you would still be the same as you!

Seeing the confusion on Meng Ziyi's face, he explained, "I am the original singer of this song."

"so what?"

"I can be a plaintiff too!"

Zhao Liying covered her mouth again, after all, they were one of her own.

Mencius thought: ...feeling wronged.

Xu Jinyan looked at her reddened eyes and suddenly paused, realizing that she wasn't "Sister Meng" yet.

Am I being too cruel with my words?

"How about this, once you've received vocal training and your singing skills are up to standard, I can write a song for you."

Meng Ziyi looked up in surprise: "Really?"

Xu Jinyan glanced at Zhao Liying beside her, "Of course."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Liying felt conflicted and cautiously said that he really was...

……

……

Chatting after dinner.

There's not much to say about today's meal. Everyone here has been through this before and knows how to order, so there wasn't much room for Teacher Huang to make his own decisions.

The guests sat in a row of chairs.

Teacher He: "Jinyan, you really worked hard today. You chopped most of the firewood, didn't you?"

Xu Jinyan glanced at the two guys and laughed: "I'm younger than them, so let them do less work."

Wang Yanlin emphasized, "I chopped the second most firewood. Lin Gengxin is already 30 years old, so let him do less."

Lin Gengxin looked unconvinced: "If we go out together, people will definitely say you're older than me."

Meng Ziyi nodded in agreement: "Indeed."

Wang Yanlin: "..."

"Hahahaha..." Lin Gengxin clapped and cheered.

He boasted, "When I went for a checkup at the hospital this year, my body was as healthy as a child's."

Meng Ziyi asked curiously, "You haven't fully developed yet?"

Lin Gengxin: "..."

"Hahahaha..." This time it was Wang Yanlin's turn to applaud.

Xu Jinyan said to Zhao Liying, "I told you, Meng Ziyi is suited for variety shows."

Zhao Liying nodded with a smile: "Her thought process is just as good as yours."

Lin Gengxin probably also felt that this wickedness resembled someone else, and suddenly pointed the finger directly at Xu Jinyan:

"Ziyi, have you been spending too much time with Xu Jinyan and gone astray? He's no good person."

Xu Jinyan: Are you perhaps suffering from some serious illness?

Seeing that Meng Ziyi still looked puzzled, Lin Gengxin continued:

"Don't be fooled by his innocent-looking face. He doesn't even cross his legs and looks like a good kid. Actually, he's got a lot of bad ideas inside him."

Meng Ziyi looked at the boys opposite her and realized that only Xu Jinyan was sitting properly.

Just then, Xu Jinyan saw Xiao Ba come in and immediately burst into laughter!

As he teased Xiao Ba, he chuckled, "Crossing your legs isn't a good habit; it's bad for your health. I advise you to quit..."

He said the name "Xiao Ba" sounded somewhat familiar.

As soon as Hachi entered the house, it noticed someone trying to pet it, so it obediently went over and let him stroke it.

Anyway, everyone in this room is a good person, and everyone dotes on it. They always make sure to give it a bite of whatever good food they have.

But this new human knows it so well! How does he know which place is the most comfortable?

For a dog, the most sensitive areas are the base of its tailbone and the soft flesh on both sides of its lower back.

And this new human specifically chose this place to make his move.

No, no, this feels so good.

It can't hold back anymore!

Perfect timing, there's a fulcrum in front of us.

So, it instinctively raised its forelimbs, leaned forward, and began to rub against itself back and forth with the momentum!

Lin Gengxin: "What's wrong with crossing my legs...?"

Suddenly, he froze, staring dumbfounded at Xiao Ba, who was lying comfortably on his lap.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into the loudest laughter in history, without exception.

"Hahaha, so prosperous and dazzling..."

Even the crew members outside couldn't help but come over to take a look, their faces beaming with smiles.

Damn, this episode is going to be a hit!

As someone who has been closely following Xu Jinyan's actions, Zhao Liying witnessed firsthand how he teased the dog.

We also saw how Xu Jinyan moved the dog forward before that scene happened, so that Xiao Ba could just reach Lin Gengxin's leg.

She laughed and patted Xu Jinyan on the shoulder, saying, "How naughty of you!"

Xu Jinyan looked at her: "What are you doing? This is a landmark in the history of variety shows!"

Zhao Liying covered her mouth and continued to laugh.

"Ah~ Ah~"

Lin Gengxin let out a miserable scream!

After repeatedly pulling Xiaoba down and having it climb back up on its own, Xiaoba finally gave up and went out to play by itself.

Everyone was completely exhausted from laughing, but when they looked at Lin Gengxin, who looked utterly hopeless, they couldn't help but grin again.

Xu Jinyan: "Look, crossing your legs isn't good for your health!"

[Negative emotions from Lin Gengxin: +99];

Xu Jinyan: "But why does Xiao Ba specifically seek you out?"

[Negative emotions from Lin Gengxin: +199];

Xu Jinyan: "Lin Gou and Gou..."
