Top Chinese celebrity: Debuted from Running Man

Chapter 235 Divorce (Fourth Update)
……

……

Inside the car,
Teacher He practically floated into the soft, cloud-like leather seats of the extended limousine.

The car door shut out the noise of the outside world, and the rush of cold air and luxurious atmosphere made him gasp.

"Oh my God!"

His eyes widened in disbelief, like a country bumpkin visiting a grand garden, unsure of what to do with his hands.
Pointing to the dazzling array of fruit platters and the crystal-clear champagne tower on the small table in front of him, as well as the soft lighting surrounding the car,
"This is... way too luxurious!!"

Compared to his dilapidated van, where even the air conditioning was barely working and the sun shone directly in, it was like the difference between a palace and a cowshed!

"Teacher He, please try this." Xie Na enthusiastically handed over a fruit platter.

"And there's champagne too." Zhao Liying smiled and handed over a glass of golden liquid with fine bubbles.

"Oh no, I can't take it anymore!"

Lin Qingxia held a tissue, wiping away the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes. Her shoulders were still trembling slightly; she hadn't yet recovered from what had just happened.

"Gu Qing's expression just now... was so interesting, and she looked so wronged."

"Sister Qingxia, I also think he's so cute."

Zhu Ying rested her chin on her hand and expressed her admiration frankly: "If I were younger, I would definitely date him. I think every day would be very interesting."

"what--"

Zhao Liying, who was eating fruit from a plate, was so surprised by what she heard that she opened her mouth wide and dropped the watermelon she had just put in her mouth.

Can this be said?

She's a little unaccustomed to the outspokenness of Hong Kong celebrities.

“Yingying, you’re not old at all,” Yang Yuying said gently.

“But I have a husband, I can’t ‘cheat’.”

Zixia Fairy shrugged helplessly. Her words were a double entendre, referring to one of her ex-boyfriends.

Those who understand will naturally smile knowingly.

Even those who didn't understand started laughing.

"My younger brother is indeed a very cute person,"

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Teacher He took over the conversation and sincerely praised, "She is also very polite, has a good personality, and is exceptionally well-mannered. She is truly likable."

"He's so rude!" Xie Na immediately jumped out to retort, her tone exaggerated, "'He was so rude to me at the airport! He said I looked like a penguin!'"

"Nana, you're just being stubborn!"

Teacher He didn't hold back and explained to everyone, "Don't be fooled by how she teases Gu Qing now, she actually likes him a lot in private!"

She even nagged me about it, saying something like—"

He deliberately imitated Xie Na's tone, using a high-pitched voice, "'Teacher He, what if my son and I had a child that turned out as beautiful as Gu Qing?'"

"Teacher He!!"

Xie Na instantly blushed like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, her face turning bright red. She screamed and lunged forward, grabbing Teacher He by the neck and shaking him violently, yelling, "Why did you tell everyone everything?!"

"Sister Na! You've gone too far!"

Zhao Liying immediately joined in the condemnation, her face contorted with a serious expression. "Gu Qing treats you like a sister, and you actually want him to be your son?! I'm going to tell him!"

The next second after turning her head, her chubby face was kneaded into a meat pie.

The car was immediately filled with even louder laughter.

"younger brother?"

After laughing, Lin Qingxia asked with a hint of curiosity, "Is this the young man's stage name? Or is it just what you guys usually call him?"

"Now, it should become a commonly accepted term of endearment."

Teacher He straightened his collar, which Xie had ruffled, and explained, "'Because Gu Qing is really young, he only debuted last year at 19. He's like a little brother in the industry, so everyone naturally calls him 'little brother.'"

"This is pretty good,"

Lin Qingxia nodded; she truly thought highly of Gu Qing. She brought up that weighty topic again, saying, "We used to have an 'older brother,' and now we have a 'younger brother'—both are very special individuals." Meanwhile,

The dilapidated van emitted a loud, buzzing roar, like an old ox panting under its own weight.

The jarring noise only served to accentuate the broken and desolate look on Gu Qing's face as she leaned against the car window, making her appear even more forlorn and aggrieved.

"Hahaha--"

Seeing Gu Qing's miserable state of being "exiled to the frontier," Ning Jing, Zhang Hanyun, and the others couldn't help but burst into gloating laughter.

The frustration of a day spent in a beat-up car and the resentment of being targeted in a group all vanished in the midst of this laughter of shared misery and schadenfreude, leaving only the joy of teasing the handsome guy.

"My dear husband, please smile."

Naza leaned closer to Gu Qing, playfully poking his supple, smooth cheek with her finger, and chuckled, "'Don't look so gloomy, look how... uh, vintage this car is!'"

"I am not your husband, and I don't know you."

Gu Qing's eyes were lifeless as he said woodenly, "I'm going to divorce you!"

"I was wrong, I was wrong."

Naza immediately begged for mercy in a coquettish manner.

"Alright, alright, stop being so mushy, have some water." Ning Jing suppressed a laugh, took the ordinary mineral water handed to her by the staff, and distributed it to everyone. She handed a bottle to Gu Qing: "Here, little brother."

"Thank you, Sister Jing."

Gu Qing took the water, unscrewed the cap, took a sip, and her expression became more lively.

Acting was so tiring...

Zhang Hanyun, who was standing next to Nazha, handed her some water and subconsciously replied, "Na..."

She hesitated, a hint of embarrassment on her face. "Uh... Nana? There seem to be quite a few people named Nana... Zha Zha? That doesn't sound quite right either..."

Naza blurted out almost without thinking, with a hint of self-deprecation and a desire to lighten the mood:

"It's okay, just call me Zha Zha, the Zha with the water radical. A lot of people online call me that, I'm used to it."

The moment the words fell,
The air seemed to freeze!
Zhang Hanyun's hand, which was handing over water, froze in mid-air. The smile on her face instantly turned to dust, and her eyes were filled with astonishment and the fear of "did I say something wrong?"

Ning Jing's smile vanished abruptly, her brow furrowing almost imperceptibly. She then lowered her head, pretending to be intently studying the label on the mineral water bottle in her hand, letting out only a dry cough: "Cough..."

"I…"

Naza regretted it as soon as she said it.
Seeing the atmosphere instantly plummet to freezing point and her teammates' awkward reactions, she realized how inappropriate her self-deprecating remark was in this situation.

It's like they have the words "low emotional intelligence" plastered on their foreheads!

She opened her mouth, wanting to salvage the situation, but felt a tightness in her throat and a burning sensation on her face, leaving her only with panic and helplessness.

As the suffocating atmosphere spread,
"Trash?"

Gu Qing tilted her head slightly, her clear eyes carrying just the right amount of confusion, and looked at Nazha, "When did you steal my three dots?"

Naza was taken aback by the question, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Just now, when you divorced me, you gave it to me."

Gu Qing: "..." (Speechless)

Good, good, you're such a little genius.

Ning Jing and Zhang Hanyun, who were awkwardly drinking water to calm themselves down, were caught off guard by this unexpected turn of events and Nazha's bizarre logic, causing them to choke and spit out all the water.

……

After a bumpy ride, the van and the car arrived at the hotel one after the other, by which time it was nearly 7 p.m.

Dinner is scheduled for 9 p.m.

Everyone went back to their rooms to change out of their recording outfits, rested briefly, and touched up their makeup in preparation for the upcoming "tea party" segment.
