Couple photo?
Bo Jiu arched her brow, placing the utensils down before lifting her lips into a faint smile. ”How can we take a photo without our phones? Besides, isn't the program going to be broadcasted after the filming is done? Aren't you afraid it'll kill the surprise?”
”It's to create attention,” the storyboard director explained while passing her the phone. ”You can use it for the photo and once it's done, we'll have to collect it back. All three teams will send photos out at the same time. This can also be considered as fan service since the program has announced the esports theme beforehand, and the fans have been guessing the guests for the past two days. The photos can be used to curb their curiosity for a while.”
Bo Jiu glanced over at the Almighty. ”They would never have guessed Brother Mo.”
”They didn't guess you as well.” The storyboard director chuckled. ”They didn't believe it would be an episode based on esports and had assumed we had only gotten one or two guests.”
Bo Jiu understood instantly. They wanted to send out explosive news since the date the filming ended and the date the program would be aired wasn't very far apart.
But a couple photo…
”Brother Mo.”
Qin Mo turned, catching sight of her waving her phone with her lips tilted upwards. ”Do you want a couple shot with the wall-jumping student? Without your face.”
Bo Jiu laid out the conditions first. Even though the Almighty seemed rather cold at the moment, it wasn't likely for him to reject her.
Qin Mo swept her a glance. ”Come over.”
Bo Jiu's eyes lit up.
She still enjoyed taking photos with him very much because putting a dent into her opponent's sense of abstinence was also considered an accomplishment.
”Add a pair of ears?” Bo Jiu asked as she moved the screen.
Qin Mo watched as the youngster moved around, his gaze deepening when it landed on his slender pale neck. With a hand on his head, he used another to lift the phone up high, snapping a shot.
They got the shot, there was a pair of black fluffy ears and a long cat tail but both… were added on the youngster.
In contrast, Qin Mo still had an enigmatic smile plastered across his face. It was the sort of expression used when trying to discipline a mischievous cat.
”It's a good photo.”
Before waiting for Bo Jiu's opinion, the photographer had already spoken.
The storyboard director hadn't processed the situation.
She would never have expected Almighty Qin to cooperate.
And to have taken a photo so full of love!
She had the feeling that such a photo would be a hit once uploaded onto the web.
As a main character, Bo Jiu tugged on her collar.
When she turned, the Almighty had already entered the official Weibo account.
Bo Jiu wanted to comment, but Qin Mo arched a brow. ”Don't worry, you look good in the photo.”
With that, she sat back onto her seat to continue with her meal. It was fine as long as she looked good.
The cameraman: … This really was a guest that cared about his appearance.
Although no one expected the Almighty to have a good caption, he added one great line. ”Completed selling the coconut, having lunch with someone.”
The restaurant was clearly in the photo with croissants and a white table cloth which were typically found in a French restaurant. Of course, you couldn't forget the transparent wine glass.
When two striking faces appeared in the same photo, the crowd would definitely be struck.
The photo seemed to have been taken off-guard since there you could clearly see shock in the youngster's eyes.
However, that only served to amplify his suaveness.
Weibo exploded almost instantly.
”Ahahah! We were clearly fed candies!”
”It's been a long while since Almighty Qin uploaded.”
”Little Spade is necessary when uploading on Weibo.”
”Little Spade's expression is simply adorable!”
”Almighty Qin's expression is a classic and with that stance, this photo was clearly taken by Almighty Qin.”
”He had even added ears and a tail for Little Spade, Almighty Qin must really want him as a pet!”
”Stop talking, let Almighty Qin silently claim his ownership!”
Bo Jiu watched the comments which came in almost instantly and wanted to reply, 'I'm the one that wants him as a pet'.
But the film crew would never allow her to use her phone, after all, they still had to film other scenes.
That aside, the net was in a frenzy while one netizen had caught something amiss.
”This restaurant looks like it's somewhere in Lin City.”
”Lin City?”
”Yes, our Lin City, are Almighty Qin and Little Spade in the south?”
”Wait a minute, something's up!”
They meant the Weibo sent out by Lin Chentao with the same content.
”You guys managed to finish the mission so quickly? The handsome me is still selling coconuts by the roadside, I have given up on this non-superficial world!”
This photo was a couple shot as well. One of them was wearing sunglasses which rested on a high nose bridge while the other was hugging onto a coconut.
”F*ck! It's Almighty Rao!”
”Am I seeing things or is that really Almighty Rao?!”
”What's with this situation, Almighty Rao is back?! I'm about to faint from joy!”
”Wait a minute, don't you think there's something odd?”
”What's odd?”
”Why are Almighty Qin and Almighty Rao selling coconuts? And why are they doing it in Lin City?”
The moment the question was asked. Zhao Sanpang was sending his post. ”I'm just asking, what's going to happen if I drink all these coconuts?”
The esports fans went crazy!
”This isn't right, this definitely isn't right!”
”Did my Fatty decide to let go of his rivalry with Qin Mo because of a cart full of coconuts?”
”That's not possible, my Fatty is always calling your Qin Mo his rival.”
”What's with this situation? Have the esports Almighty's all decided on a career switch to sell coconuts?”
”F*ck, I know what's happening!”
”What's happening? Hurry and tell us.”
”The one upstairs, type faster!”
”Didn't channel Orange just send out news previously? This weeks theme would be esports! My Fatty must be one of the guests! The others must be guests as well and they must be filming at the moment!”
The conjecture quickly turned into one of the hottest comments ━ because which fan wasn't curious about how their idols were in private?
But was this possible? Just pushing the fact aside how so many esports players could appear in one program, the sole problem was laying with Almighty Qin.
According to his personality, Almighty Qin would never appear on a variety program, right?
Rumour had it that if Qin Mo had wanted to enter showbiz, his popularity would definitely be higher than the current hottest stars.
But ever since the day he had started esports, he had been super private unlike the other esports players.
Before his background had been exposed, others had assumed that his arrogance was because of his looks and that he would regret one day.
However, then Qin Group announced the establishment of the club and the boss came on stage; the sole heir of the Qin family.
Why didn't he accept any endorsements? Because there wasn't a need ━ it had nothing to do with arrogance.
It was purely because he was way too rich.
In fact, he was so rich that some media companies weren't even able to find out the identity of his mother.
Of course, some might have found out, but no one dared to publicize it.
Hence, if Qin Mo didn't approve of a photo, it wouldn't be leaked out.
Would such an Almighty Qin participate in a variety program?
Qin fans swarmed to Orange's official Weibo, their words were polite.
”Hello, dearest account manager, I would like to ask, did my Almighty Qin, the Almighty Qin that is private beyond words, really participate in the 'Big Star Is Here' variety program? Is this real?”
Such questions flooded Orange Weibo account.
It wasn't just Qin Mo's fans, fans from other esports players were also there.
Orange's Weibo had been noticed before in the past, but never with such intensity. In just one hour, they grew by over ten thousand fans and their popularity was still increasing rapidly.
The Weibo manager acknowledged all of the fans' questions. ”You beauties are right, the guests for this week are six of your most anticipated idols, with each team forming a group. They are currently executing the second mission and earlier this morning, there has been Lin City fans who had encountered Spade and Almighty Qin on the public bus.”
”En-encountered? Public bus?! F*ck, I'm starting to regret cosplaying my Big Spade by skating to school!”
”The students that took the public bus this morning have all agreed both Almighty Qin and Big Spade are ravishing, very, very ravishing! My heart is still beating right now!”
”My Almighty Qin can actually sit on the public bus! I'm in a state of shock, does he even know how to pay?”
”It'll be fine with Big Spade around.”
”Who said my Big Spade isn't dominant? He can even take care of Almighty Qin!”
”An obedient and handsome submissive, no explanations required!”
”The one above is telling the truth, ahh, what should I do? I want to see it live, when is the program going to air?! Please send me the time, please send out a preview!”
”Based on my understanding of Orange, they should finish filming by today, it should be out by tomorrow and done the next day, does that mean we can see Almighty Qin sleep? I can feel my nose bleeding already!”
”Cough, I can only imagine that scene filled with pink hearts and don't forget, channel Orange would usually arrange for two guests to sleep together…”
Sleep together successfully sent 'Big Star Is Here, Passionate Esports Players' into the top results of search.
The film crew was caught off guard since they had never expected such a great response.
Alas, this surprise came unexpectedly.
”Sending a thousand thumbs up to the program crew. It's amazing how you made Almighty Qin send a post out personally.”
When the storyboard director was done reading the comments, she glanced at the youngster, who had gathered at the seaside.
It wasn't the program crew's ability.
It was Big Spade's!
”What's next, are we perhaps going to swim in the sea?” Zhao Sanpang asked seriously. ”My figure is too good, I'm afraid the fans would fall in love with me so just get rid of this activity since rejecting others is making me bothered.”
Lin Chentao wanted to kick him aside, but regardless of how hard he tried, Zhao Sanpang still hadn't moved.
Bo Jiu rushed over, and with a forceful kick, Zhao Sanpang fell over.
”Fun?” Zhao Sanpang turned. ”You guys are just jealous of my looks!”
Bo Jiu was momentarily speechless before she lifted her lids. ”Brother Mo, for the first time, I've found someone more shameless than I am.”
”Get used to it.” Qin Mo pulled her to his side so that she wouldn't be influenced by his mischievous ways.
Rao Rong stood at the side, stilling when he read the card.
”What is it?”
Rao Rong turned the card around for them to read.
”Shuffle the grouping?!”
”What's this situation? Xiangnan is the only group I'll be in!”
”I'm good as long as I'm not in the same group as Fatty.”
”Little Assassin Lin, are you itching for a fight?”
”Come on!”
Regardless of the commotion, they still had to separate into new teams.
Zhao Sanpang felt greatly burdened as he stood behind Qin Mo, feeling a coldness radiating from the person in front.
It was really chilling.
The main director had the same thoughts while Boss Qin glared at him with a frosty stare.
Meanwhile, Bo Jiu was still studying the card. ”What's the mission after we separate into new teams? It's not written on the card.”
The storyboard director replied, ”Since you are all masters of gaming, you are tasked to save three hostages and the person who used the least amount of time can choose their partner in the next round. In front of you is the biggest escape ground in our city and there are three themes inside, each team is allocated a different one. Now, would the three guests wear your blindfolds, our staff will lead you in.”
”F*ck, what's this? Escape room?” Zhao Sanpang was shocked.
Lin Chentao put on a brave front. ”Little Spade, if you see anything scary ahead, don't forget to grab onto me!”
Bo Jiu stuffed a hand into her pocket, her lips lifted. ”Don't worry, I'm not afraid.”
Lin Chentao exclaimed, ”I'm afraid!”
Bo Jiu: …
At this moment, Qin Mo had already worn his blindfold. While his hair was pressed inside, only his white nose bridge and kissable lips were being exposed. He stood there upright, and when the wind blew, there would be leaves falling onto around feet.
It was a sight which send many teen girls screaming.
At Bo Jiu's side, it was an entirely different scene. She looked very much like a devil.
Even with blindfolds on, this sight could still send girls heart fluttering.
The cameraman couldn't help following behind them.
Lin Chentao entered the escape room behind Bo Jiu, turning towards the cameraman. ”This is finally not a gay program.”
Cameraman: … They have never been a gay program!
Bo Jiu walked in front, and could vaguely hear Fatty's voice. ”Qin Mo, you are younger than me, you can ask Brother if you meet anything you don't know, Brother's intelligence is really unimaginable…”
It was indeed unimaginable.
He had been screaming since he had entered!
That shrill scream had travelled all the way to Little Spade. ”Little Spade, what exactly did Fatty see to warrant such a scream?”
Bo Jiu had already removed her blindfold and was watching the dim room ahead, a dangling white dress with long hair attached to the ceiling. She stuffed a hand into her pocket, a smile on her face. ”It'll be better if you keep the blindfold on.”
”Why? I don't feel safe like this!” Lin Chentao wanted to move, but Bo Jiu raised her arm to stop him. ”Have you seen 'A Wicked Ghost'? That's the theme.”
”A-a…” Lin Chentao was so frightened, he seemed possessed by Baby Feng.
Bo Jiu pulled him to a corner. ”Sit here and don't make any noise.”
