"They're back?" Iori asked, panting. "I'm starting to feel dizzy."

Lu Nan nodded: "Yes, I'm back."

But the situation seemed a little different; the director and Yuko were talking about something, and they seemed a little agitated.

"Let's go take a look."

Lu Nan called out and walked over.

"What happened?" Lu Nan asked Qian Sha, who was standing next to him.

Chisa looked somewhat panicked: "Actually, after diving, Mr. Ikegoshi..."

Lu Nan looked at Chi Yueyong, who was walking onto the dock. There was a bandage on his face, and it was obvious what had happened. He must have had a minor accident while diving and was injured.

Iori exclaimed in surprise, "Were you stung by a jellyfish?"

Chisa shook her head: "No, it seems to have been hit by a school of fish. If it weren't for Daimiao helping out, the situation would probably have been more serious."

Kohei swallowed hard: "Then this injury is quite serious..."

Lu Nan looked at the little silly cat slowly walking over and proudly patted the little guy's head: "Well done! Our silly cat is a hero too!"

The silly cat said a little shyly, "Oh, it's really simple, meow!"

At this moment, the arguing on the dock seemed to grow even louder.

It sounds like because Ikegishi injured his face, and from the perspective of the camera angle, the agency wanted Ikegishi to leave the scene and give all the camera to the model Xiaolan who came back later.

However, Chi Yue seemed to disagree with the proposal and kept pleading to keep his scenes.

"Does he value this that much?" Lu Nan said with some surprise. "I thought it was just a small performance that the store manager had casually invited."

Chisa shook her head: "Mr. Chi Yue is quite famous, and besides, I heard that this is his first time sponsoring a program."

"I see." Kohei nodded. "Then we really have to try our best."

Iori leaned over and suggested, "How about we try using the makeup artistry of the Corpse Beast to save us?"

Lu Nan couldn't hold back: "Stop kidding me, okay? If she really makes a move, she'll be debuting as a clown."

Kohei said seriously, "Won't this definitely cause a live broadcast accident?"

Not far away, Ikegoshi Yuichi's gaze swept over this area and settled on Kohei's face.

A look of wild joy appeared on his face, and he quickly stepped forward and grabbed Kohei's shoulder: "Brother! You have to do me a favor!"

Kohei froze, and the next second he ran away like a frightened chicken, squawking wildly. He ended up hiding behind Lu Nan and Iori, not daring to raise his head.

Lu Nan was speechless and looked at Chi Yueyong: "Sorry, this guy is super shy and a total shut-in."

Iori nodded: "So you can just say whatever you want. If you get too close, he might dive into the water right away."

Chi Yueyong nodded: "Sorry, I was just thinking..."

He took out a box of hairspray and slowly approached Kohei: "Sorry for the delay, it'll only be a moment."

A moment later, Chi Yueyong called the director over, his face beaming with excitement: "Director, how does it look?"

As he spoke, he stood together with Kohei.

The director looked him over carefully for a few moments, then put Ikegoshi's sunglasses on Kohei's head.

"Hmm... looking at it now, it really is true." The director rubbed his chin: "If we just dye the hair black..."

“It works, right?!” Chi Yue was even more excited.

Gengping stood frozen in place, unsure of what to do, and could only stand there like a human mannequin.

……

"A stand-in? You mean him?" Lu Nan pointed at Kohei, somewhat bewildered.

Kohei pointed to himself, somewhat bewildered.

"Please!" Chi Yueyong bowed deeply. "I've been criticized for not having a distinctive persona for seven years since my debut! Finally... finally, an opportunity has come my way!!"

He exclaimed excitedly, "I want to become a huge star as a diving idol!!"

Lu Nan and Iori exchanged a bewildered glance.

"What do you think?" Lu Nan asked.

"To be honest, I personally think it's incredibly tacky," Iori replied honestly.

"Great minds think alike." Lu Nan bumped fists with him.

Chisa timidly raised her hand: "Actually, I think this selling point is pretty good..."

“But then again…” Iori said seriously, “If you think about it carefully, this character design has a strange kind of appeal, and it might actually be quite good.”

Lu Nan rolled his eyes, completely deciding he didn't want to deal with this idiot anymore.

"Speaking of Kohei, since he said that, what do you think?" Lu Nan turned around and asked Kohei, who was hiding behind the shelf trembling.

Kohei shook his head frantically, practically making my unwillingness written all over his face.

"Please help me this time! I can pay you!" Chi Yueyong bowed again.

Lu Nan's eyes lit up as he leaned closer: "Hey, what do you think of me? I think I can do it too!"

Chi Yueyong hesitated for a moment, "You're too handsome, it's really..."

Lu Nan clicked his tongue; it seemed he wouldn't be able to earn this money.

"He's opted to pay more, what do you say?" Iori asked Kohei behind her.

Upon hearing that there would be a reward, Kohei hesitated for a moment, but then he thought about being surrounded by a group of people taking pictures of him, and his face turned even paler. He shook his head repeatedly.

Iori shrugged, indicating that Kohei's side did not accept it.

Chi Yueyong's face turned pale, and he covered his head in despair: "Am I really going to miss this opportunity...?"

Lu Nan thought for a moment and suggested, "By the way, since you're also a celebrity... if you could offer an autograph from a famous voice actor or something, that should be enough to impress that guy."

Chi Yueyong was taken aback, then thought about it carefully: "So, I do have the autograph of the famous voice actress Yukari Muranaka."

Before he could finish speaking, Kohei had already walked out, spraying black hair dye into his hair while adjusting himself: "Let me make this clear beforehand, I'm not responsible if it fails."

Lu Nan pointed at Geng Ping: "It seems this guy has agreed to appear on camera."

Chi Yueyong was stunned. Was it really that easy?

Chapter 367 Right in My Strike Zone

After watching the whole thing, Yoshihara Mana turned around and asked, "What do you all think?"

Store manager Sayaka shrugged: "Whatever."

Yuko smiled somewhat helplessly: "Recording this episode is also work!"

Chi Yueyong exclaimed excitedly, "Then there's no problem!"

Since both the person in question and the store employee who will be appearing in the video have agreed, it's definitely okay now.

Lu Nan grinned and said, "That's true, but to be honest, I still advise you to think it over carefully."

Iori nodded in agreement: "I think so too."

Chi Yue, who was feeding his savior cat, Dai Miao, dried fish, was taken aback: "Why?"

Lu Nan and Iori exchanged a glance and said in unison, "That guy is an incredibly strange person."

"Is that so?" Chi Yueyong pondered for a moment.

"Are you willing to reconsider?"

"Great."

“No.” Chi Yueyong shook his head: “This is really… right in my strike zone…”

After all, his current problem with his career is that his public image isn't outstanding. That's how it is in the entertainment industry. As the old saying goes, if you're not alive, you might as well be dead.

For Yuichi Ikegoshi right now, being dead is worse than being alive, so it would be even better if Kohei, as his Stand, could be a little more unique.

Iori pointed at the pensive Ikegoshi Yuichi with a shocked expression.

Lu Nan nodded: "I understand what you mean. I also think he has something wrong with his head."

Ikegoshi Yuichi said confidently, "Don't worry! A little strangeness is actually better!"

"...Is that right?"

“What can we say after he’s gone this far?” Lu Nan sighed. “Anyway, we’ll give you one last warning.”

Lu Nan and Yi Zhi looked at each other seriously: "We did try to persuade you."

Ikegoshi Yuichi is now starting to wonder just how strange this guy really is.

……

A while later, or rather, the ship returned shortly after setting sail, and the director angrily pushed Kohei in.

"I'm begging you, please take him back."

Lu Nan was a little confused: "Isn't this refund a bit too fast? The quality is that bad?"

"I don't know, it's probably because JD.com switched to Pinduoduo for shipping and got caught." Iori shrugged.

Behind the director, Ikegoshi Yuichi followed, explaining in a flustered manner, "Please wait a minute! His behavior on the ship was a bit... well... but..."

Lu Nan looked at Kohei, who had transformed into Ikegoshi Yuichi: "Tell me, what did you do?"

Kohei said somewhat innocently, "They wanted to film a scene where I pulled my wetsuit down a little, and I thought, 'Isn't that just showing off my muscles?' I understand, so I..."

Mana Yoshihara crossed her arms and looked helpless: "So you just pulled it all the way down, right? They meant for you to pull your chest up a little bit. It's just a little treat for the fans, not some weird little video starting with a small number."

Yoshihara Aina stood in front of Kōhei and said seriously, "Since you've accepted this job, you're not allowed to take off your clothes, understand? Repeat after me."

Kohei lowered his head: "It's a bit difficult, but I will try my best."

Behind him, Ikegami Yuichi was still trying to persuade him: "He's already said that, so even just letting him participate in the food review later would be fine!"

The director looked helpless: "I think I heard him say that it would be a bit difficult not to take off his clothes..."

Yuko looked at the bandage on Ikegoshi's face, which was stained with blood from the wound reopening after he had talked too much, and said with some concern, "Mr. Ikegoshi, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible. It would be bad if the wound got infected..."
