The Perfect Relationship

Chapter 81: Funny Song

"Neither?" Yin Chang raised his eyebrow and smiled. "Then who do you like?"

Shao Junling glared at him fiercely without saying a word, but his face slowly turned red.

Yin Chang was startled and wondered if this kid actually did have a crush, but was too embarrassed to speak up.

"Pfft..." He couldn't help laughing at Shao Junling's awkwardness. 

Shao Junling widened his eyes, in disbelief that Yin Chang would openly ridicule him. He became angry and swung his fist towards Yin Chang. Yin Chang quickly raised his hand to defend himself, and received two punches, but they didn't hurt. The kid ran away in a fit of anger.

It took Yin Chang a while to catch his breath.

Since Shao Junling still didn't seem to be good at interacting with people, and had a character that was sometimes cold and sometimes violent, Yin Chang found it hard to imagine what he would be like in a relationship in the future.

He picked up his phone and saw that the guests in the group were discussing the scene just now.

Huang Han: "I can't believe Shao Junling is so popular with girls! Haha..."

Wang Chen: "I think only little girls like this type, right?"

Later, Qin Jingshan directly posted a screenshot of a netizen's discussion on Weibo to refute Wang Chen.

The first comment in the screenshot mentioned Shao Junling's stinginess in the first episode, and said that he might not be popular with girls when he grew up. However, the vast majority of the comments below refuted the original poster.

—"No, do you have a misunderstanding about our girls' standards for choosing partners? Even a twenty-eight-year-old aunt like me is enchanted by boys like Shao Junling, you know?"

—"Exactly, especially the part where he gives the branch as a gift, he has the vision to know what a girl wants."

—"A branch now, a necklace or jewelry later! When he's older~ [infatuated]"

—"Also, when Xiao Lu and Qin Xifeng were picking flower, he wasn't interested, but still silently waited off to the side. Don't you think this kind of behavior is very boyfriend-like?"

—"Society is full of the brother Jun type, ruthless but not verbose, smart and physically strong, responsible and capable - this is the new era's overlord standard!" 

—"As a fan of Shao Junling's older brother, I couldn't help but comment here. Do you guys not see that Shao Junling's cute eyes only have his brother in them? When the host said they should separate for a task, he grabbed Yin Chang's hem, and that scene truly makes me melt! "

—"Incest CP, get out! Get out!!"

—"This little kid has not yet opened his eyes! Of course, he will rely on his brother! "

—"Exactly! When he grows up, he might be more flirtatious than anyone else! "

—"Superficially cold and stoic, but privately won't let you go... ah, I'm going to nosebleed!"

—"Wow, you guys are blatantly fantasizing about an eleven-year-old kid, have you no shame!?"

—"We're imagining an adult version!"

—"Shao Junling, sister will wait for you to grow up! Lining up to be your girlfriend, ah!"

Everyone: "........"

Huang Han: "The netizens are so imaginative. [sweat]"

Wang Chen saw Qin Jingshan share this kind of picture and realized, "Jing Shan, didn't you used to dislike Shao Junling? [picking nose]"

Qin Jingshan: "That's all in the past, how could I be bothered by a little kid~~~ [shy]"

Huang Han: "However, after reading everyone's analysis, I think I need to take action soon."

Huang Han: "@Yin Chang! I'll entrust Xiao Lu to your little brother so you don't have to worry! Calling dibs!" 

Yin Chang: "......"

Qin Jingshan: "No! He's my little sister's!"

Seeing them act like this, Yin Chang thought of the netizen's comment "hasn't yet opened his eyes" and couldn't help but feel proud, but then also couldn't help but imagine what Shao Junling would be like when he grew up and liked a girl. Or if a girl liked him and started chasing him… Would he be constantly running around outside and not be so attached to himself anymore? He couldn't help but fall into a complex feeling of being an old father forgotten by his child.

At this moment, Guo Yiheng jumped out, "Not Qin Xifeng! My brother disagrees!"

Huang Han: "Your brother?"

Guo Yiheng: "He just saw the scene in the program and was so furious that he wanted to throw the remote."

Everyone suddenly remembered that Lang Chizhi had teamed up with Qin Xifeng in the rainforest village, and the two of them had had a pretty sweet interaction.

"Oh? It looks like things are developing in an interesting way!" Huang Han laughed.

"Yah!" Lang Chizhi exclaimed. "Brother Heng, what are you talking about? I didn't say that!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

But soon, the discussion about Shao Junling's popularity with girls was covered by the hot debate caused by Xue Ziwen prioritizing the tree root.

The production team specially went to Xue Ziwen's house to film the million-dollar cedar wood carving. After putting together two close-up shots, the audience was amazed, "Wow, the shape is really similar!"

But even if it was similar, a rotten tree stump wasn't a treasure. So when Xue Ziwen asked why Wang Chen was rolling on the ground in a tantrum, the "education experts" on the internet launched a lengthy analysis of the two from various angles and positions.

"Xue Ziwen treating a rotten tree stump like a treasure can only mean that his values are different from those of other children. Growing up in a rich family like the Xue's, he must have had no worries about food or clothing since childhood, so in his eyes, art is more valuable than anything else, which is why he made such a fuss. In this regard, Shao Junling contrasts starkly with him. You see, Shao Junling only picks up food, doesn't care about some exquisite crafts."

"What's the use of a good background? Xue Ziwen's tantrum and calling his uncle garbage really showed his lack of education!"

"Well, I can understand why Xue Ziwen was so angry because Wang Chen didn't respect him as an equal from the beginning. You see, when he just picked up the tree stump and returns, he was looking forward to Wang Chen's recognition. But Wang Chen's attitude was very bad from the beginning. If he could first acknowledge Xue Ziwen's efforts and then guide him appropriately, it wouldn't have turned out like this."

"Well, Wang Chen is only eighteen or nineteen years old. Encountering such a treacherous nephew, most people would also collapse..."

Wang Chen, who had just escaped from the previous crisis with Yin Chang, was caught in another problem, but this time, Xue Ziwen suffered as well.

The internet was like a magnifying glass. A small flaw or merit could be magnified to an incredible extent under the gaze of thousands of netizens.

The heated discussion continued until the next day. At noon the following day, a video inexplicably appeared on Weibo. The poster remixed the dialogue between Xue Ziwen and Wang Chen and made it into a funny song.

Xue Ziwen: "Uncle, this, like, our family, wood, alike, alike, alike!"

Wang Chen: "How does it compare, how does it compare, how does it compare! What you picked up is just trash!"

Xue Ziwen: "You are, you are, you are garbage!"

Wang Chen: "What you picked up is just trash!"

Xue Ziwen: "You are, you are, you are garbage!"

He even inserted two sentences of Shao Junling's lyrics.

Shao Junling: "Just let him win, just let him win, just let him win."

Shao Junling: "Adults sometimes, stupid, stupid."

At the end of the music, Xue Ziwen, the little grown-up, roared, "I want the whole country to see my generosity!"

The final scene was a sentence from the poster: "Is the wood that Xue Ziwen picked up dry or wet garbage?"

Within an hour, this magical and mesmerizing song was forwarded by tens of thousands of people and directly landed on the hot list.

That night, Wang Chen called his manager in a panic, "Did you ask someone to make that video on the internet!?"

Manager: "Well, how is it? Don't you think it's funny?"

Wang Chen was biting his teeth, full of curses and asked, "Funny? Do you want to make me angry!?"

Manager: "Huh? Why? You're a comedian, and comedians have the spirit to entertain the public, don't you see that all the netizens under that video Weibo are laughing? You should be happy."

Wang Chen: "What? I'm a comedian?"

Manager: "That's your persona."

Wang Chen: "Isn't my persona a popular idol? How come I became a comedian?"

Manager: "Being a popular idol and a comedian are not in conflict. Your emotional quotient is low. If you don't take the 'comedian' route, you'll easily get criticized."

Wang Chen: "Me? Low emotional quotient!? Easy to provoke criticism!?"

Manager: "Well, you've only aired three episodes of your variety show. Look at how much controversy you've already caused. Don't you admit that you're easy to criticize?"

Wang Chen: "I..."

Manager: "Don't worry, based on my understanding of you, this is the best path for you. Besides, that video is just a temporary distraction for the audience. Didn't you say you went to the street to help Xue Ziwen sell that tree stump?"

Wang Chen: "Yes! I was so good to him, but people are still criticizing me online!"

Manager: "Uh-huh. Just be patient. When the next episode airs, your reputation will turn around."

Wang Chen: "Really?"

Manager: "Really, do netizens have such great hatred? Look at Yin Chang's situation ten days ago, it was even worse. Now, isn't it fine?"

Wang Chen: "Isnt that because Mi Xiu posted their photos? Oh, I haven't asked you yet why Mi Xiu did this! Doesn't he never participate in hype with others?"

His manager comforted him, "As far as I know, that's just a deal. It's Yin Chang's manager who paid for Mi Xiu to post it, just to whitewash Yin Chang."

Wang Chen's mentality was instantly became balanced. He knew it! How could idols like Mi Xiu be attracted by people without ability like Yin Chang? He must have been forced.

... Wait a minute!

Wang Chen had a sudden realization and asked the Manager, "Does Mi Xiu accept monetary transactions?"

Manager: "Are you trying to bribe him?"

Wang Chen was excited, "Can I?"

Manager: "Wang Chen...I originally thought you were just silly and rich, but I didn't expect you to be so sinister!"

After saying that, the Manager hung up angrily.

Wang Chen: "..."

In the office, Li Xian's assistant was surprised by his rare angry look, "Brother Li, what's wrong with you? Did you argue with Wang Chen again?"

Manager Li unbuttoned the first button of his shirt, took a deep breath, and calmly said, "It's nothing, just scaring him. Hey, this young master is becoming more and more difficult to fool. I'm going to ask Xuan Jie for a raise."

Assistant: "..." 

Yin Chang asked, "What kind of person do you like?" 

Shao Junling looked at him and thought, "I like someone like you." (* /ω＼ *)

ps. Shao Junling's affection is only a pure childish admiration. 

 Author’s Note: And finally, Wang Chen's agent has a name in this chapter. 

Please remember him, Li Xian.
