They all mean the same thing.
[Just because Gu Siyuan invited two seniors to fly with him, so what if he plays a little unfair? I just like him.]
[The person above really is a kindred spirit. Sisters, our Siyuan is truly a rare good man—investing in him will never disappoint!]
[Qu Wan is really shameless. If she weren’t grouped with Gu Siyuan, what would she do? She’s so brazen, always trying to get close to Gu Siyuan. I can’t stand her.]
[Even when the actor Jiang is like this, he won’t divorce her? She’s flirting with other male guests during filming and on the show. It’s disgusting.]
[Flirting? Which eye of yours saw that? I’m a fan of Gu Siyuan, and all I see is friendship—Gu Siyuan treats her like a little sister. Besides, they’ve known each other since they were kids. It’s normal for them to be close.]
The director spoke through the megaphone, “Our guests for this episode have already arrived. Once we’re on the plane, you’ll meet them. Get ready—our new journey is about to begin!”
[Who’s the new guest this episode? Has there been any inside scoop?]
[I heard Zhao Zhao might be joining the show. Could she be this episode’s guest?]
[Zhao Zhao? My favorite actress! Is she really coming? Oh my god!]
[Am I the only one thinking about the actor Jiang? I just want to stare at him all day.]
The private jet belonging to the Gu family was impressively spacious—a plane Gu Siyuan had managed to borrow from his sister after much persuasion.
She had refused at first, but just as Gu Siyuan was about to give up, he sighed and said, “Looks like Wanwan will have to be disappointed.”
And with that, his sister’s attitude took a complete turn, agreeing immediately.
Such is life!
Everyone boarded the plane one after another.
They noticed someone already seated in the back, wearing a hat, sunglasses, and a mask—only the person’s gender was discernible.
“Why is it another male guest?” someone muttered.
Jiang Zeyu was the last to board. As soon as he entered, the man in the back stood up and slowly removed his mask and sunglasses.
“How come you’re here again?” Gu Siyuan asked aloud.
Jiang Zeyu looked past everyone straight at Qu Wan in the back, and the two exchanged a brief, distant glance.
The camera captured this silent interaction.
“Wanwan, are we still good buddies or not? I was just wondering who the new guest would be, and you didn’t say a word!”
Qu Wan gave an awkward laugh. She truly hadn’t known Jiang Zeyu would be coming—just yesterday, she’d said goodbye to him, and he hadn’t let on anything at all.
[I’m a prophet! Ah, my husband is just too handsome!]
[Jiang Zeyu’s fans have it rough—once again, they’re forced to watch him dote on someone else. It’s hilarious.]
[It feels like I’ve just swallowed a fly—so uncomfortable.]
[So, a few days ago, the actor Jiang was defending his sweet wife online, and now he’s come running after the crew? Why does it feel like he’s always the one chasing after her?]
[Jiang Zeyu is being forced. I heard he signed a contract with the company to promote Qu Wan.]
[With his status, could Jiang Zeyu really get taken advantage of like that? And you can’t fake that look in his eyes—he’s practically melting when he looks at Qu Wan!]
[That just proves his acting skills are top-notch—he’s fooled even you!]
Jiang Zeyu gave everyone a perfunctory hug.
Then it was Qu Wan’s turn.
She looked at Jiang Zeyu uncertainly, seeing his arms slightly open.
Gu Siyuan chuckled, “What are you standing there for, daydreaming?”
“Oh.”
Qu Wan stepped forward dazedly, and Jiang Zeyu pulled her into a full embrace, enveloping her completely.
“Wow,” Gu Siyuan, ever the superfan, couldn’t help but comment.
Qu Wan and Jiang Zeyu took seats in the back row.
When Qu Wan lowered her head, her ears were visibly red.
The journey would take more than ten hours, leaving everyone a bit worn out—even on the plane, people quickly fell asleep.
“Why are you here again?” Qu Wan asked quietly.
“I was bored at home anyway, so I figured I’d come earn a little extra,” Jiang Zeyu replied casually.
Qu Wan glanced at the camera, then leaned a little closer to Jiang Zeyu. “The fans are going to go wild again. If you keep provoking them like this, they’ll stop supporting you.”
“I’ve always needed an audience, not fans. I said this a long time ago. I act, and if they like watching me, that’s fine. If not, they can leave,” Jiang Zeyu said seriously. He’d told his fans this before, but it never seemed to have much effect.
He was always top of the charts, the undisputed king, with skills so sharp that even detractors couldn’t find fault.
No one could have predicted that Qu Wan would show up as such an unpredictable variable.
The long journey made everyone drowsy, and the live stream was turned off during the flight.
Qu Wan soon fell asleep against Jiang Zeyu.
Twice during the night, Jiang Zeyu woke up and gently covered her with a blanket.
After midnight, the plane landed smoothly.
Qu Wan woke up before the others, quietly slipped away with her phone, and started making calls to arrange transportation.
The camera shifted to focus on her.
She was speaking fluent English on the phone, arranging for a car and, it seemed, accommodations for the night.
The two senior guests were anxious; they’d caught a ride with everyone and hadn’t booked anywhere to stay yet—planning to find a hotel upon arrival.
Qu Wan returned after her call.
“I’ve contacted a driver—he’ll be here soon. I found us a guesthouse; we can all stay there.”
She turned to the two senior guests. “Would you like to join us? I saw photos earlier, and the place seems quite spacious.”
Zhao Shen smiled, “Thank you for your trouble. We’ll settle the costs together later—we can’t just take advantage of your generosity because we’re older, right?”
“You’re too polite, sir,” Jiang Zeyu interjected.
Zhao Shen clicked his tongue, “I wasn’t talking to you—why butt in?”
Jiang Zeyu shamelessly continued, “Talking to me is the same as talking to her.”
[Oh my, Jiang Zeyu is just too smooth! Where’s that innocent boy who used to blush during hugging scenes? Now he’s so bold!]
[My husband, my husband—no one else can have him!]
[I’m so jealous of Qu Wan. I wish I could swap places with her!]
[Sister, will you open a class? Teach us how to get a husband like Jiang Zeyu!]
[Can’t we just watch the variety show in peace? All these comments are so annoying!]
[Are you not allowing comments anymore? Is it because Jiang Zeyu’s fans are panicking? This ship is meant to be! I’m fuming!]
A bus arrived soon after to pick everyone up.
After half an hour’s drive, the group arrived at a villa.
“Can we really afford this place? How much is it per night?” Zhao Shen asked anxiously.
“Don’t worry, sir, we can afford it,” Qu Wan replied with a smile.
The house was spotless and well-prepared.
