Top Chinese celebrity: Debuted from Running Man

Chapter 229 Little Knife Went Mad (3k)
……

……

The door to the tin shack was pushed open again.

This time, it was Zhao Liying who walked in.

She changed her hairstyle to long, flowing hair, which added a touch of gentle and ladylike charm, but her round eyes still held that familiar liveliness.

"Look, little brother, your little one is here! Aren't you excited?"

Teacher He's eyes lit up, and he gently nudged Gu Qing beside him with his elbow, his tone full of mischievous laughter, clearly still remembering the nickname they used to share in "The Journey of Flower".

"Yes...it's a pleasant surprise."

Gu Qing looked at the figure on the screen, "It's been so long since I've seen Sister Liying."

Inside the tin-roofed house.

"Oh my, isn't this our Hua Qiangu?"

Xie was the first to stand up, waving vigorously with a bright smile, "Come in quickly, come in quickly."

"Hello, Teacher Ning Jing."

When Zhao Liying's gaze fell upon Ning Jing, who was sitting firmly in the center position, the "unconventional" attitude she displayed when venting to Gu Qing on WeChat instantly vanished.

His voice unconsciously softened, and his posture became reserved, as obedient as a primary school student being called on by the teacher.

"Hello."

Ning Jing wore a standard, aloof smile and gestured to both sides with her eyes, "Choose a seat." Her words were concise and to the point.

“This is the popular team,” Xie Na immediately explained enthusiastically, pointing to her own side, “I’m sitting here on the annoying team, which side do you choose?”

Zhao Liying's gaze swept quickly between Ning Jing and Xie Na, almost instinctively.

She lifted her foot and walked towards Xie's direction, where she felt safer.

"Little Bone, do you want to sit with me?"

Xie seemed particularly happy and reached out to help her pull the infuriating metal chair outwards.

however,
The moment Zhao Liying sat down, before she had even settled in, was the next second.

"Haha, Sister Na,"

She tilted her head, and with an innocent, seemingly casual tone, pointed with a smile at Xie Na's extravagant pink skirt, "'Your skirt is really—big!'"

"what?"

Xie Na's smile froze instantly. Her mouth opened slightly, and her expression went blank for a moment, as if she had been hit precisely by this sudden "flying knife" and was stunned.

She subconsciously looked down at her "battle armor," which she was so proud of.

Before she could fully recover from this "blow," Zhao Liying blinked her clear, innocent eyes again.

As if discovering a new continent, he leaned closer, pointed at Xie Na's mouth, and spoke with unwavering sincerity:
"Sister Na, also, it seems like you've got some lipstick on your teeth." — The second cut was quick and precise.

"what?!"

Xie Na was genuinely embarrassed. She quickly wiped her teeth with her fingers, her face showing a mix of amusement and exasperation. "Why didn't you say so sooner? I've been laughing for ages!"

"You won't mind, will you, Sister Na?"

Seeing her flustered state, Zhao Liying couldn't help but laugh sheepishly.

"You saw it a long time ago but didn't tell me?"

Xie Na was both annoyed and amused, and glared at her feigned anger.

"I just saw it."

Zhao Liying defended herself with an innocent expression.

The two just stared at each other, one awkward and helpless, the other innocent and bewildered, and finally they couldn't help but burst into silly laughter.

the other side,
Ning Jing and Zhang Hanyun were exchanging dry pleasantries like "The weather is nice" and "These flowers smell nice" in an attempt to pass the time.

Unexpectedly,

Zhao Xiaodao's radar quickly detected the new target.

"Sister Ning Jing,"

Zhao Liying turned to Ning Jing, her face still bearing that innocent smile, her tone tinged with curiosity, "You're not wearing a formal dress today?"

"?"

Ning Jing's fake smile vanished instantly, and she visibly stiffened for a moment.

She first subconsciously looked down, scrutinizing her carefully chosen white pencil skirt and shawl with a hint of disbelief—wasn't this an evening gown?!
After confirming that it is correct,
She abruptly raised her head, her face already frosty, her eyes sharp as knives, and she practically spat out the words through clenched teeth: "'This is a dress!'"

The subtext is obvious: You ignorant bumpkin!
The atmosphere instantly plummeted to freezing point.

Zhang Hanyun was so frightened that she dared not breathe, her eyes darting nervously between Ning Jing and Zhao Liying.

Just as Ning Jing's anger was about to erupt—

"Oh dear!" Xie Na's penetrating voice pierced the air like a timely rain. Her face was plastered with an exaggerated smile as she loudly proclaimed in a familiar yet slightly teasing tone:

"You dressed more formally when you were boating in Renton!"

This remark instantly tickled Ning Jing's funny bone.

A potentially bloody incident was averted by the Sun Goddess.

Inside the RV,
Both men who cared about Sister Zhao were sighing over their shortcomings.

"We've only had a few good days, and now this 'knife' is out of control again. We're sure to get a lot of flak after the show airs."

Gu Qing rubbed her forehead, as if she could already foresee the scene of Zhao Liying being "educated" by netizens. "Teacher He, could you give Sister Liying some extra tutoring when you have time, and give her an emergency emotional intelligence lesson?"

"Little brother, I want to too."

Teacher He looked both helpless and amused, and shrugged.
"But this thing really depends on talent. Like you, you're naturally good at emotional intelligence without needing to be taught." Then...

Two female artists arrived together. Besides Yang Yuying, who became a national sensation with her sweet voice in her early years,

Gu Qing unexpectedly saw a familiar figure—Nazha.

Teacher He suddenly pointed at the screen,

"Have you noticed? Jingjing hasn't stood up at all until now."

"Sister Jing debuted early and has a long career. She has representative works in both movies and TV series. As a senior, she really doesn't need to stand up."

Gu Qing expressed his understanding.

Capable people have pride; that's called confidence.
It's a joke when someone who lacks ability tries to act tough.

He paused, "'However, I am very curious, who can make Sister Jing stand up willingly?'"

“Me too,” Teacher He echoed with a smile.

When choosing seats, both Gulnazar and Yang Yuying naturally opted for the chairs of the "popular team".

Next,
Gu Qing and Teacher He's wishes were soon fulfilled.

The seventh female guest was like a gentle ray of light. When she pushed open the door and entered, her familiar and warm face made the two people in the monitoring vehicle hold their breath—

She is none other than Zhu Ying, the childhood goddess of countless mainland viewers, who played the role of "Zixia Fairy"!
Upon seeing her fellow artists, Ning Jing stood up for the first time and reached out to greet them.

He is truly a seasoned veteran of the workplace, upholding a clear hierarchy to the very end.

When choosing a chair,

Seeing that the popular team was almost full, Zhu Ying decided to join the annoying team.

"Sister Yinyin!"

Just then, Nazha suddenly stood up, quickly walked over, and tried to take Zhu Ying's hand, saying, "Please sit here! I'll give you my seat!"

"Give it to you?"

Gu Qing shook her head helplessly.

He now understands why Zhao Liying and Gulnazar have been so heavily criticized and hated by netizens since their debut.

Her emotional intelligence is really low.

Finally, the grand finale guest appeared!
As the door opened, a figure dressed in a classic bright red gown, with impeccable manners and a calm, gentle aura, slowly walked in—

"'ah--!!!'"

A scream that was loud enough to blow the roof off erupted from inside the house, a mixture of extreme shock and ecstasy!
All the female celebrities, whether they were sitting or standing before, whether they were "popular" or "annoying," all stood up "whoosh" at that moment, as if they had been sprung up by a spring!

The most surprising one is Ning Jing.

This "senior" who had always remained calm and composed, exuding a powerful aura, now showed a girlish excitement and shyness on her face.

She was almost the first to leave her seat, running quickly forward to greet her. Her hands were clasped awkwardly in front of her, her face showing undisguised admiration and nervousness, and her voice trembled as she said, "Sister Qingxia, it really is you!"

She asked for a hug.

Seeing the "goddess" I could only look up to on the screen during my childhood standing right in front of me.

The female celebrities present, including the usually carefree Xie Na, all had tears welling up in their eyes instantly, and some couldn't help but secretly wipe away their tears.

"Oh my God……"

Xie Na was so excited that she was incoherent. She looked at Lin Qingxia with tears in her eyes, then at Zhu Ying beside her. Her voice was choked with emotion but filled with immense happiness. "I am now standing with Fairy Zixia and the Invincible East!"

"Sister Qingxia, please choose a seat."

In response to Ning Jing's question about choosing a location,
Although Lin Qingxia is over sixty years old, she still looks radiant, and traces of her former beauty can still be seen in her features.
Her gaze swept to both sides, decisive and efficient.

"I'll sit here."

She gracefully walked towards the "annoying team".

The old lady sat down in the row of people who were angry.
Ning Jing, who was originally sitting in the center of the "Popular Team", and the other three suddenly felt that the soft chair under their buttocks had turned into needles and felt uncomfortable.

At last,
Empress Cai Shaofen (ranked ninth) joined Brigitte Lin's "annoying team" without hesitation.

Ouyang Nana, brought by Brigitte Lin, was automatically categorized as part of the "Popularity Team".

The ten female idols have finally assembled!
Teacher He took a deep breath, his eyes sparkling with excitement, "It's our turn."

The two got out of the car and walked quickly toward the metal door.

Gu Qing reached out to push the door open, but Teacher He stopped her.

"Wait a moment."

With a mysterious excitement on his face, Teacher He said, "'Little brother, you're a very special surprise guest for our show! Let me go in first, set the stage, and then you come in after I say 'Please come in,' the effect will be absolutely amazing!'"

"Teacher He, stop fooling around,"

Gu Qing shook her head, both amused and exasperated. "With Sister Qingxia's masterpiece already set, who else could my 'surprise' possibly surprise?"

He is still self-aware.

No matter how popular someone becomes, they can't compare to the legendary figures who have a strong sense of nostalgia.

"rest assured."

Teacher He patted him on the shoulder forcefully and said with a smile, "You're a big star now, trust me, the effect will definitely be great!"

finished,

He straightened his suit, his face instantly switching to the bright smile of a professional host, took a deep breath, and pushed open the door.
