I'm a web novelist, and you want me to work in the entertainment industry?

I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm dead.

"You two are so good-looking, are you out of your minds?"

[These dresses suit them so well, one red and one green; if you didn't know better, you'd think the "Flying Apsaras" mural had come to life!]

"Why is everyone so quiet? Did I wear the wrong skirt again?" Xia Ziyi asked blankly, breaking the silence in the courtyard.

"...?"

This slightly silly question brought the four boys to their senses.

"Don't worry, you definitely didn't wear the wrong clothes," Tian Xiwei comforted her from the side.

"Oh, that's good." Xia Ziyi smiled with satisfaction.

The two women stepped forward and joined the queue.

"Does it look good?" Tian Xiwei leaned closer to Cheng Che, flicked her sleeve, and asked softly.

"It looks good." Cheng Che pecked at the rice like a chick.

Tian Xiwei gave a soft hum, a smile appearing in her eyes.

"What about me? What about me?" Xia Ziyi also came over and asked, her face full of anticipation.

"Sister Xia looks good too," Cheng Che praised.

"Hehehe..." Xia Ziyi proudly raised her chin.

"Hmm, Sister Xia, you would look even better if you didn't know how to speak..." Cheng Che silently added in his mind.

[Xiao Tian: Am I pretty? Cheng Che: Aba aba aba pretty (dazed)]

[I'm speechless. Sister Xia, can you please stop smiling like an idiot all the time? You were such a cool and aloof princess, but now you look like a fool when you smile.]

Kind words cultivate good relationships, while harsh words wound the heart... Sister Xia is inherently a bit dim-witted, even when she doesn't smile.

【——Today I humiliate Xia (√)】

"Well then, all our guests for this episode have arrived." Wang Zheng raised a megaphone in the courtyard. "First of all, welcome to all the teachers to the first stop of this season of '5 Hip Hop'—Dunhuang."

"As we all know, Dunhuang has an extremely rich historical heritage and is an ancient pearl on the Silk Road."

"To help everyone better integrate into this city, the production team has invested heavily in providing the six teachers with costumes that have certain Dunhuang characteristics, which are what you are wearing."

"To be honest," Deng Chao said after listening to Wang Zheng's statement.

"Xia and Tian look beautiful today, like ancient princesses."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Cheng Che and Lu Heng again: "Xiao Cheng and Xiao Lu are also very handsome, with a youthful vibe, like the male protagonists in comics."

"But..." He then looked down at the loose-fitting Hu merchant clothes he and Chen He were wearing.

"Can your production team explain why He and I's outfits look so shabby?"

Wang Zheng raised the megaphone: "The production team has limited funds, the Ranger outfit is too expensive, the Merchant outfit is cheaper."

The courtyard was quiet for a moment.

"You mean we're only fit to wear cheap clothes?" Deng Chao retorted.

"Yes!" Wang Zheng said coldly.

After saying that, he added, "Besides, you two, one old and one fat, look quite suitable in Hu merchant clothes."

Chen He, who was watching the show with amusement, almost vomited blood when he heard those words.

He clutched his chest, looking at Wang Zheng with disbelief, his expression as if to say—what did I do to offend you?

Deng Chao gritted his teeth, pointed at the production team, and mumbled "okay, okay, okay" for a long time before finally managing to squeeze out, "You guys are ruthless."

[Hahahaha, this is called bringing shame upon oneself!]

I think Wang Zheng did nothing wrong!

[Don't be sad, Chao Ge. Even though you and He He are ugly, at least Cheng Che and Xiao Lu are handsome!]

[I've already thought of a title for this season: Princess, Ranger, Old Man, and Fat Man.]

The other four children were laughing together on the side.

As the laughter subsided, Wang Zheng raised the megaphone again: "Alright, alright, let's put the clothes aside for now. Next, I'm going to announce today's task assignments."

The six of them immediately perked up their ears.

"As all the teachers know, there is a very famous place in Dunhuang called Mingsha Mountain," Wang Zheng said.

"Tonight, the production team has booked a venue at Mingsha Mountain for a bonfire party."

All six of them perked up.

"However," Wang Zheng changed the subject, a malicious smile appearing on his face.

"This bonfire party is not free—each person needs to buy a ticket, which costs 250 yuan."

"Two hundred and fifty?!" Deng Chao's eyes widened. "You're robbing me!"

"Exactly, do you know how outrageous 250's spending power is?" Cheng Che chimed in from the side. "250 is enough for me to eat my way up to Brother He's at the night market!"

"Indeed." Deng Chao nodded in deep agreement.

Chen He: "...Are you two being polite?"

Tian Xiwei, Xia Ziyi, and Lu Heng remained silent, only laughing loudly.

Wang Zheng completely ignored their protests and continued, "In short, your task today is to raise 250 yuan before dark."

"Otherwise, all the teachers will have to stay in this courtyard and look at the stars," Wang Zheng said.

"Actually, stargazing is not bad either," Chen He added.

"I think so too," Deng Chao agreed.

"That makes sense." Lu Heng nodded in agreement.

"No problem, how about we go and earn some money during the day, and then have a bonfire party in this courtyard at night?" Cheng Che offered a new plan.

The four men clapped their hands at the same time, as if they had reached some kind of consensus.

At this moment, their friendship was as solid as steel in the literal sense.

"Since the four of us get along so well, why don't we swear an oath of brotherhood right here, amidst the winds and sands of Dunhuang?" Deng Chao suggested, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

The other three answered in unison, "No objections!"

"Since that's the case..."

Deng Chao: "Second brother, third brother, fourth brother!"

Chen He: "Eldest brother, third brother, fourth brother!"

Lu Heng: "Big brother, pigeon, third brother!"

Cheng Che: "Big brother, second brother, and autistic!"

The four of them looked at each other and burst into loud laughter.

"Hahahahahahaha—"

[So, it wasn't two lunatics, but four?]

[Cheng Che and Xiao Lu, since you two have such handsome faces, can't you just stick to being idols? Stop with the abstract stuff here, okay?]

[Fun fact: Cheng Che had only known these three men for less than ten minutes, but they seemed to have known each other for ten years.]

[The emotions aren't that weak!]

Ha, you girls would never understand the friendship between men like us!!

Tian Xiwei and Xia Ziyi looked at each other in bewilderment upon seeing this scene.

They didn't understand, but they were deeply shocked.

At this moment, even Sister Xia inexplicably had the illusion that she was intellectually superior to these four men.

Wang Zheng watched this scene from a distance, thinking to himself that filming a variety show wasn't easy either.

Just now, someone was detained for elbowing a vehicle.

There are now four people with bubbly brains left.

"..."
