The Perfect Relationship

Chapter 76 Shining Debut

The staff members were smiling when Guo Yiheng's figure appeared on the screen. He had really come as Shao Junling had predicted.

By this time, Mi Xiu who had dressed up as a boatman, was restored to his original appearance by Shao Junling. When Guo Yiheng arrived, he was suspicious of the other's identity because he had just seen Shao Junling.

Guo Yiheng stared at the boatman, "Are you the mysterious guest?"

Mi Xiu continued to pretend, "No."

Guo Yiheng said "oh" and left.

The others: "..."

Mi Xiu, who had been ravaged by Shao Junling, was healed by Guo Yiheng...that's right, this is what a normal child should be like!

Shao Junling and Yin Chang came out of Tingyu Pavilion and were led by the staff to the meeting point. Passing by the black tent boat, he pulled Yin Chang's arm and whispered in his ear, "the mysterious guest is in the boat."

As soon as he finished speaking, they saw Guo Yiheng crawling out of the black tent boat.

Guo Yiheng also saw Shao Junling and Yin Chang. He stared at them, hesitated, and then went back in. He said to the boatman, "Wait, you are the mysterious guest!"

Mi Xiu: "..."

"I just saw Shao Junling and his brother. He found his brother without a clue card after leaving here, which means he must have gotten his brother's location from you!" Guo Yiheng analyzed.

Mi Xiu recalled how Shao Junling had exposed his identity earlier. His chin still ached. Facing Guo Yiheng, he was afraid that he would do the same thing.

"Um, it's me." Mi Xiu didn't persist anymore and admitted it directly.

Guo Yiheng was very happy when he heard him admit it.

Mi Xiu looked up and asked him the same question: "Do you know who I am?"

Guo Yiheng exclaimed, pointed at him, "You, you are..."

Mi Xiu smiled and winked at him.

"You are a big star! I know you! I..." Guo Yiheng struggled for a long time and cried, "But I can't remember for the moment!"

Mi Xiu smiled. Although Guo Yiheng couldn't remember, his reaction and attitude were still better than Shao Junling's. At least this one knew that he was a big star. And it was normal that he couldn't recognize him since he was still in makeup.

"Shall we confirm the password?" Mi Xiu gently reminded him, "Di Zhen High Ridge, a picturesque land for a thousand generations."

"The door faces the sea..." Guo Yiheng only said those five words, blushed, then stared at him stubbornly.

Mi Xiu: "You can continue."

Guo Yiheng looked confused, "I...I...I forgot."

Mi Xiu almost slid down to the bottom of the boat.

"Then, I can't do anything about it." Mi Xiu helplessly said

Guo Yiheng walked out in a daze, racking his brains and trying to remember the passphrase and who this person was...anything. Why was his memory so bad? 

But even by the end of the game, Guo Yiheng didn't remember. He found Lang Chizhi only by following the clue cards. 

The same went for Xue Ziwen. After being tricked by Mi Xiu with just one sentence, he didn't suspect anything. But on the way, he would subconsciously ask everyone he saw, "Are you the mysterious guest?" Of course, the answer was always negative, so he didn't know he’d messed up until the end. 

In addition to Shao Junling, another person in the team found their sibling through the shortcut of the mysterious guest. You Luming. No one knew what went on in You Luming's mind. She suddenly turned back to the black tent boat. As soon as she saw the boatman, she repeatedly shouted her password, "Smelly fish, smelly fish, I am a bad shrimp," Mi Xiu was amused and helpless, so he told her where Huang Han was.

The final result of the hide-and-seek game was Yin Chang and Shao Junling first, Qin sisters second, Huang Han and You Luming third, twin brothers fourth, and Wang Chen and Xue Ziwen...last.

Wang Chen and You Luming had finished last, last time. Wang Chen admitted that he was not capable of taking care of You Luming. But this time, there was no You Luming dragging him down, but Wang Chen was still last...he was about to cry. 

Although he was aggrieved, he didn't dare criticize Xue Ziwen again because he was criticized by netizens after the first episode. The program team’s punishment was pouring a bucket of river water over the loser in front of everyone. 

The staff walked towards Wang Chen with the bucket of water and the host counted down, "Three, two, one!"

Wang Chen clamped his eyes shut as a bucket of cold and refreshing water was poured over his head.

"Ha..." Wang Chen's hairstyle was ruined, with wet strands sticking to his cheeks.

Everyone sympathized with him, but Wang Chen tried to play it off as nothing. "It's okay, it's just a bucket of water. It's hot out anyway, so it's like a cool-down."

He tried to use self-deprecating humor to relieve his embarrassment and maintain his dignity as an adult. And when he saw Xuezwiwen looking guilty, he felt somewhat relieved. At least the kid had a conscience and didn't let him suffer in vain.

Wang Chen secretly clenched his fists to remind himself to maintain the image of a broad-minded adult in front of the audience. Endure for now, and everything will become calm and peaceful again!

Just then, the host announced, "The game is over! Now let's welcome our special guest for this episode - Mi Xiu!"

Hearing that name, Wang Chen was stunned and thought he was hallucinating. Who did the host say? Mi Xiu? Yes, it was Mi Xiu.

While they were resolving the game, Mi Xiu had taken off his makeup and changed his clothes. He transformed from an old sailor into the gender-neutral, attractive man that appealed to all ages. He had a perfect face with thin, peach blossom eyes, and a slightly light eye color. His skin was as soft as porcelain, as if he just stepped out of a book.

"Hi, everyone~" Mi Xiu walked up to them and greeted everyone with his magnetic and gentle voice. His smile made them feel comfortable and refreshed - it felt like the goddess filter that had been on the Qin sisters was on Mi Xiu.

Almost everyone on the scene was dumbfounded. Although there were second-generation stars with impressive backgrounds as well as new rising stars like Wang Chen who were popular, there was no guests on the show who could compare to Mi Xiu's popularity.

Mi Xiu was the top-tier newcomer, the entertainment industry's popular king, the Weibo new idol chart champion for 30 weeks, and the Fly Fly music singer chart popularity champion for 29 weeks. Each of these titles were solid accomplishments since his debut.

After recognizing him, Guo Yiheng regretfully muttered to himself, "Yes, it's Mi Xiu. I've seen his ads and listened to his songs. Ah, I should have remembered earlier..."

"Uncle! Uncle!" Xue Ziwen pulled on his wet hand and whispered, "That person seems to be your idol!"

"...Shut up!" Speaking of this, Wang Chen became angry. He wanted to strangle Xue Ziwen for making him look like this in front of Mi Xiu. All his thoughts about staying calm and broad-minded went out the window. He now only wanted to kill Xue Ziwen. It was all because of this idiot that he appeared in front of Mi Xiu in such a miserable state.

Ah, he was so embarrassed that he wanted to drop dead on the spot.

Yin Chang and Shao Junling stood on the side next to each other. After seeing the real person, Yin Chang asked Shao Junling in a low voice uncertainly, "Is he the strange person you talked about earlier?"

Shao Junling nodded, "Yeah, it's him!"

Yin Chang frowned and couldn't help but recall the recent online controversies. Earlier, Yao Manhuai comforted him on the phone, saying "It's okay." Did she know that Mi Xiu would be a special guest in advance?

It made sense because celebrities like Mi Xiu had their schedules booked in advance for at least a year. They wouldn't randomly run over. Yin Chang didn't know what the other party thought of the online controversy, but he felt a complicated mix of emotions. He admitted that he had crazy fans who went too far and caused a commotion online.

After that happened, Yin Chang considered personally guiding the fan's comments, but Yao Manhuai banned him from doing so and said that as a rising star with popularity second only to Mi Xiu, he didn't need to worry about those small things.

Everyone welcomed Mi Xiu's arrival, and the host asked him which family would like to host him for the night since he didn't have anywhere to stay. Wang Chen probably wanted to host Mi Xiu the most - he was his idol, and he wouldn't have a better chance to get close to him than now. If he weren't dripping wet like a soggy chicken, he would want to hug Mi Xiu!

Although the Qin sisters were girls, it would not be convenient for them to host an adult male overnight. Huang Han considered his younger sister, You Luming's inconvenience, but for the sake of showing their love for Mi Xiu, everyone raised their hands and shouted, "Come to our house! Come to our house!"

Only Yin Chang and Shao Junling...in this case, if they didn't express their opinions, it would seem very strange.

Yin Chang also raised his hand symbolically to stay consistent with everyone's style.

"It seems like everyone is very enthusiastic!" The host looked at Mi Xiu and let him choose. "So Mi Xiu, do you want to pick one yourself?"

Mi Xiu thanked him and glanced around. He suddenly directed his gaze at Shao Junling's wild and untamed eyes and smiled, "You pull my beard earlier?"

Everyone was confused. Wait, did Shao Junling pull Mi Xiu's beard earlier?

Don't be fooled by Mi Xiu's gentle demeanor. If someone took him for a gentle idol, they would be completely wrong. Being able to rise up from a regular person to a prominent position, and even being able to command the entertainment industry, Mi Xiu was not a good man who could be easily bullied. Everyone who had worked with him knew that he was a tough person inside. And when it came to something he liked, he had a perverted desire to conquer it.

What Shao Junling did earlier had caught Mi Xiu's attention. He found this little guy quite interesting.

"Yes." Mi Xiu told the host, "I want to stay with Shao Junling and co."

Yin Chang:...

Shao Junling:...

Mi Xiu: "Little guy, I'll remember you." ^_^

Shao Junling: ...
