Top Chinese celebrity: Debuted from Running Man

Chapter 34, Episode 2: Siblings climb the ranks.

……

……

Time flies, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye.

The second episode of "Running Man" is about to air.

With the popularity built up from the first episode and the buzz that followed over the course of a week, the show's popularity has increased significantly.

Many students returning home from school, or office workers returning home from work, turn on their TVs or computers, eagerly awaiting the broadcast of the second episode.

at this time,

A young girl is lying in bed, scrolling through her phone.

"Dududu-"

The call came directly via QQ.

"Xiaoxue, hurry, hurry, my husband's show is about to start!"

"Xiao Kui, stop rushing me. It's just a variety show, why are you so excited about it?"

The girl's name is 'Xiaoxue', and she is Xiaokui's college roommate and best friend.

To become best friends, you must have the same hobbies.

Both of them like following celebrities.

The only difference is that Xiaokui is a philanthropist, while Xiaoxue is a single-minded fan.

Her idol is one of the top two male celebrities who returned from overseas:
'Your Highness Megni!'

As for her best friend's new fan's husband, Xiaoxue had a vague impression of him.

"Gu Qing?"

"Isn't that Xiao Kalami who recently used my husband's internet fame?"

As for the so-called "divine beauty" in the advertisements, Xiaoxue scoffed at it.

There's only one goddess in the entire SM Entertainment group who can escape, and that's their 'Princess Megan'!
Not even that silly deer next door is worthy of touching it!

"Never mind, I'll watch some TV first, otherwise Xiao Kui will start asking me all sorts of questions again tomorrow."

Xiaoxue picked up the tablet on the bedside table and clicked on the latest episode of Running Man.

Her restless legs swayed gently like a pendulum, her fair toes sometimes curling up and sometimes stretching out, causing the sheets to ripple with fine wrinkles.

In the screen,
The opening scene featured a short drama filmed by each member.

The group's comical performance managed to pique Xiaoxue's interest in watching the show.

"Strange, why hasn't that Gu Qing shown up yet?"

Xiaoxue frowned slightly; she had come specifically to find fault.

While talking,
The bicycle bell rang crisply.

On the screen, fine rain weaves a beaded curtain, and the bluestone slabs reflect the cool, shimmering water.

The young man walked out from the misty rain, his knuckles holding the umbrella appearing even whiter against the backdrop, and the hem of his dark blue robe rippled with each step.

"he…"

Xiaoxue swallowed lightly.

Ok,

She admitted that the young man was quite handsome.

No wonder her best friend was completely infatuated with her.

Just based on this alone,

He is far from being able to defeat Prince Megri!

Besides his handsome appearance, Your Highness
Talent is the most outstanding quality!
In the movie "Somewhere Only We Know", His Highness's superb "acting skills" captivated Xiaoxue.

Does that brat even have one?!

It really does.

"Hamburger..."

"hamburger."

Gu Qing's shy and bashful expression perfectly captured the awkwardness of a young boy facing his crush.

Yang Ying also showcased the best acting skills of her life.

Her soft-spoken voice and tender eyes overflowed with love.

"His acting... was alright, about three-tenths of His Highness's level."

Xiaoxue couldn't help but smile like an aunt.

After that,

The edited second episode was presented to Xiaoxue one by one.

A fierce battle for the Water of True Love

While waiting for the boat, a light drizzle began to fall.

Gu Qing naturally raised his hand to shield Yang Ying from the raindrops. After boarding the boat, his darling confessed, "Now, you are mine."

Accompanied by the show's suggestive background music, Xiaoxue let out a loud "Ouch!" and bit down on the pillow, her cheeks flushing red. After that...

Deng Chaolin, who set off first, was soaked to the bone and desperately wanted to hitch a ride on a boat.

Nazha, holding hands, bumped into Gu Qing's arms.
One second the pink bubbles of an idol drama were blowing,
The next second, the camera focused on the dark-faced baby, and a thunderous rain effect appeared.

The tension between the two women escalated under the deliberate guidance of the production team.

"It's fun, it's so fun."

"Nazha and Gu Qing, Baby and Gu Qing, they all seem to have some CP chemistry."

Xiaoxue used to watch cheesy idol dramas about two men fighting over one woman, but now that she's changed the format, she's really hooked.

This ambiguous atmosphere reached its peak on the road to finding his wife in the flower field.

Xiaoxue was thrilled when she learned that the man and woman would have to eat the cookies mouth-to-mouth.

However, Li Chen and Xie Yilin's 'brutal' deeds completely destroyed her desire to enjoy the sweet moments.

Immediately,
The director announced that the remaining teams would continue the rematch, and Xiaoxue cheered.

"Oh, don't be shy, just kiss me already!!"

Gu Qing's hesitation when he received the cookies made Xiao Xue feel like she was facing her dull, unrequited crush, which made her so angry that she wanted to force a kiss on him.

"Ahhhh!!!"

The deafening screams seemed to pierce the entire night.

Xiaoxue covered her mouth, her snow-white insteps excitedly slapping the backsheet.

Baby captured almost all of the fantasies of girls facing their crushes in front of the camera.

With an air of queenly dominance, she held Gu Qing's cheek firmly and then took the initiative to give her a side kiss.

The production team, to their utter disgrace, deliberately blurred the camera at this crucial moment.

“Ding ding ding!!!”

Xiao Kui sent a warm greeting, "Xiao Xue, guess if you got a kiss?!"

"They definitely kissed. If they didn't, why did the production team separate them?"

Xiaoxue excitedly discussed what had just happened with her best friend on her phone.

This has become a reflection of the experiences of countless viewers of the Running Man program.

This segment, which aired for less than 5 minutes, had already climbed to the top three of Weibo's trending topics.

"What's so sweet about it? It's all acting on variety shows. Baby and Huang Xiaoming have already announced their relationship, why are they still creating a CP (couple pairing)?"

"I can't relate to it at all!"

The potential risks of announcing their relationship led to criticism from passersby.

"Who said we're shipping a romantic couple? We're siblings, siblings, okay?!"

"That's right, what we're rooting for is a pure sibling relationship."

"Those of you who see this as just a publicity stunt are the ones with real problems!"

Soon, established CP (couple) fans launched a counterattack.

Although it's blatant lying, no one can find fault with it.

A large number of die-hard fans of the couple, enjoying the thrill of immorality, have begun to openly create supertopics for the pairing:
Pure-hearted siblings!

Just looking at the name gives off an odd vibe.

That's just how strange it is!

This is the feeling you want.

After the second episode aired, the official ratings were released.

'2.35! '

Compared to the first issue, it has more than doubled!
Its terrifyingly high ratings made it the undisputed number one in its time slot.

The official Moonlight TV station immediately decided to give it their full support.

The popularity of "Running Man"

Let them see the potential to rival the two top variety shows from rival TV stations, Huang and Guo.

With various resources poured in, Running Man is constantly trending on social media.
Along with the most talked-about 'sibling couple',
With Havker's strong support behind the scenes, the hype has further increased.

What is unclear is,
If Huang Xiaoming saw that netizens were getting more and more enthusiastic about shipping his girlfriend and Gu Qing as a couple after he announced his relationship, what would he think?

……

at the same time,

Gu Qing, after recording two episodes,
I've already flown back to China and am lying in bed watching the second episode of Running Man on the hotel TV.

However, his phone received a message from an unexpected visitor.

"Nazha?"
