The Rebirth of a Top Star

The live stream was interrupted at night.

The safety and privacy of all guests participating in the program will be guaranteed.

After quickly removing her makeup, Shen Nanqiao lay in bed and scrolled through her phone. She knew she would return it later that night. Otherwise, it was her job as an artist, and she couldn't just ignore everything.

Shen Nanqiao saw the message Gu Ning had just sent on her phone, "Which venue did you choose today?"

Shen Nanqiao didn't go down after making her selection, so she naturally had no idea what kind of trouble the production team was causing.

"Can't you see what we chose?"

Shen Nanqiao then realized that it was a hidden, real blind selection.

"I don't know, that's why I'm asking you." When surrounded by unfamiliar strangers, two people who are relatively familiar with each other tend to become closer.

Shen Nanqiao felt this way, so she didn't feel anything was wrong with getting close to Gu Ning.

However, since the production team wanted to play it this way, Shen Nanqiao did not tell Gu Ning the girl's choice.

"Since it's so interesting, let's reveal more surprises every day."

After saying this to Gu Ning, Shen Nanqiao did not reply to any further messages.

She logged into her alternate account to check today's activity on Weibo.

Thankfully, overall things are still relatively favorable to me. Shen Nanqiao looked at the search terms related to herself and found them quite amusing.

She needs to get up early tomorrow, which isn't a problem for Shen Nanqiao, but in order to have a good complexion, she decides to go to bed early tonight.

Just sleep when you say sleep.

Shen Nanqiao woke up early in the morning, and got out of bed before her phone rang.

Wearing slippers, Shen Nanqiao strolled into the restroom, washed her face with water, and sat down at the vanity.

"So sleepy," Shen Nanqiao couldn't help but yawn, glancing at the camera next to the dressing table.

The camera's placement is ingenious; the distance between it and the chair in front of the makeup table is just right—it won't feel offensive, yet it can clearly capture the female celebrity's makeup process.

Shen Nanqiao was unaware that the camera had already started. She only noticed the red dot on the camera after she finished yawning.

Ok?

Shen Nanqiao was puzzled.

I took another closer look, and wow, it really was bright.

Although there weren't many viewers on the other side of the camera, it was still quite a few at eight in the morning.

Yesterday, the official website announced that the live stream would start at 8:00 AM the following morning, showing celebrities without makeup.

Many people set their alarms, waiting to see what would happen next. It was truly a first in variety show history for a celebrity to appear on live stream without makeup.

Shen Nanqiao didn't know, or rather, the first thing she did when she opened her eyes this morning wasn't to check her phone.

She went straight to wash her face and brush her teeth, and didn't see the message the staff member had sent five minutes earlier.

Shen Nanqiao stared at the camera for a long time before finally realizing what was happening. She glanced at her phone to make sure it was live, then greeted the camera confidently.

"Good morning everyone! Is anyone watching my little cutie?" Shen Nanqiao appeared with a bare face, without any makeup. The slight dark circles under her eyes actually added a touch of elegance to her fair complexion.

There were only a few hundred people in front of Shen Nanqiao's camera at first, but after Shen Nanqiao greeted everyone, the number of people watching online gradually increased.

'Shen Nanqiao's live stream without makeup' immediately soared to the top of the trending topics list early in the morning.

Director Song got up early to oversee the work. When he saw that Shen Nanqiao was the first person to have a trending topic, he was overjoyed. He quickly called his assistant and instructed him: "Invest money if you have it, and send it up as soon as possible. Don't let this trending topic go to waste."

Director Song is a master at creating hype for variety shows.

Shen Nanqiao doesn't care that her bare face has been exposed to the public.

She put on simple makeup, and since the venue didn't seem to require anything too formal, Shen Nanqiao thought she might as well go up and learn a trick or two, so she didn't wear a dress like the other female guests.

Instead, she wore a comfortable tracksuit, a gray and white outfit with a fitted style, exuding the unique charm of a sunny young girl.

Shen Nanqiao appeared in front of the camera after getting dressed, showing no signs of discomfort. She acted as if she were facing her close friends, twirling around in front of the camera and smiling as she asked, "Is this outfit okay for today?"

On the screen above the bullet comments, where Shen Nanqiao couldn't see, many people were talking to her.

[It's so beautiful, super beautiful, I love it so much!]

My sister killed me; she looks beautiful in everything she wears.

Why do you look good in everything?

Most people on Shen Nanqiao's channel like Shen Nanqiao, so there's nothing strange about it for now.

Shen Nanqiao did her makeup quickly, and she had already decided on her outfit yesterday.

As expected, Shen Nanqiao was the first person to come downstairs today.

As Shen Nanqiao went downstairs, her personal cameraman followed and started working.

While everyone else was still fixing their cameras, Shen Nanqiao had already started making her move, going downstairs to make herself a fried egg and have some breakfast.

Shen Nanqiao didn't care about the cameras following her. Reality shows emphasize authenticity, so Shen Nanqiao went about her business while everyone behind the camera quickly left.

Family members, hurry up and go to Li Yicheng's channel!

Wow, that's amazing! As a girl, I'm ashamed of myself.

Family members, does anyone understand?

Holy crap, go watch this now, you'll regret it if you don't!

At that moment, simultaneously, not only the viewers of Shen Nanqiao's channel, but also the viewers of the other six people, all moved to Li Yicheng's live broadcast room within those few minutes.

Although everyone thought the boys' dressing table was just for show, it actually had just as many security cameras as the girls'.

The other three boys, whether out of embarrassment or habit, only sat down briefly at the dressing table and applied sunscreen.

Li Yicheng was different. He sat down very early, even earlier than Shen Nanqiao. It's unclear whether he knew the live stream had started, as he didn't interact with the camera.

Even after Shen Nanqiao finished her makeup, Li Yicheng was still working on her eye makeup. As a result, more and more people realized that Li Yicheng was doing something big, so viewers naturally flocked to his live stream.

Shen Nanqiao had no idea. All she knew was that she had finished eating the breakfast she had made herself downstairs, but still no one came down.

After waiting for a long time, Li Yicheng, the last one to come down, finally sat on the sofa, and everyone was present.

It was already 9:30.

Shen Nanqiao was even sleepy on the sofa.

"Okay, everyone, we have four cars parked outside. From left to right, they are for the first project, the second project, and so on. Ladies, you can go out and get in the car now and sit in the passenger seat."

Shen Nanqiao didn't wait for the others. Of the girls present, only she was dressed comfortably; the others were all wearing skirts. Wu Miaomiao and Zhao Shuyue wore skirts with large hems. Zhao Shuyue's long skirt was elegant, while Wu Miaomiao's only reached her knees, making her look like an oil painting.

Zheng Yiyi was wearing a bodycon dress with a shiny black finish, which matched her room perfectly.

Shen Nanqiao got into the first car, which was a very uniform brand, probably sponsored by the program team.

Shen Nanqiao watched as everyone got on the bus one after another, until all the boys came out as well.

Unexpected yet predictable, Shen Nanqiao watched as Gu Ning walked straight towards the car after leaving the house.

The moment the car door opened, Gu Ning's face revealed a knowing expression, as if to say, "See, it's you."

Shen Nanqiao found it funny; he was just yesterday trying to find out which girl she was interested in, and today things just happened to turn out this way.

Before the photographers got into the car, Shen Nanqiao whispered to Gu Ning, "You didn't interfere or pull any strings behind the scenes, did you?"

Shen Nanqiao knew that Gu Ning didn't have that much power, but she still wanted to ask him that question. It was quite interesting to see this honest man break down.

As Shen Nanqiao had expected, Gu Ning looked at Shen Nanqiao, who had just raised the question, with a disapproving expression, "Don't talk nonsense without evidence."

"Then how come you're making the same choice as me?" Shen Nanqiao still remembered the cooperation that Gu Ning had mentioned before she came.

For a fleeting moment, Shen Nanqiao thought that Gu Ning was trying to force a connection between the two of them.

Shen Nanqiao doesn't mind being tied together by variety shows or film crews, but what she can't tolerate is being tied together without her consent.

But then I thought about it again, and Gu Ning wasn't the kind of person who would do such a thing.

The cameraman got into the car and, under the watchful eyes of Gu Ning and Shen Nanqiao, adjusted the car camera before handing it to Shen Nanqiao in the passenger seat. "Teacher Shen, please place this camera between the two of you."

Shen Nanqiao valued her life, so she fastened her seatbelt the moment she got into the car. She leaned forward with some difficulty, trying to position the camera properly, but after several attempts, she still couldn't get it into the right spot.

Since the live stream was already underway, it wouldn't be appropriate to get out of the car and have the staff come up and fix it. Shen Nanqiao had a sudden inspiration, and instead of putting it in the middle of the seat, she decided to leave it there.

She moved closer to him, but the camera wasn't pointed at him; instead, it was positioned a little further away and pointed at Gu Ning.

He leaned close to the camera and said to the audience, "Don't think the angle is weird, this way you can see your Gu Ning brother more."

Shen Nanqiao's words were somewhat mischievous, and everyone in the car, except for Gu Ning, laughed.

Two PBs followed behind, one of whom was watching the live comments on his phone and keeping the atmosphere under control.

After Shen Nanqiao said that, the comments section was filled with laughter, and some of Gu Ning's fans thanked Shen Nanqiao.

However, some of Shen Nanqiao's fans were laughing and joking in the comments, saying, "We want to watch you too, sister!"

Seemingly influenced by the atmosphere in the car, the PD behind her read the comments on the screen to Shen Nanqiao.

After hearing this, Shen Nanqiao replied, "There's nothing we can do about it; the camera is already fixed in place."

Gu Ning did not participate in their conversation at all, but the camera pointed directly at him clearly captured his every move.

That upturned corner of her mouth never left her lips.

Shen Nanqiao didn't know the locations of the other cars, but the atmosphere in their car was still very cheerful. Although Gu Ning didn't talk much in front of the camera, Shen Nanqiao, who was very talkative, turned around and talked to the staff in the car.

Everyone chatted and laughed as they arrived at their destination.

However, the other routes are different.

In the second car, the pairing of Zheng Yiyi and Lu Qinian evoked images of a cute younger man and a mature, beautiful woman.

Lu Qinian spoke relatively little to Zheng Yiyi; Zheng Yiyi initiated the conversation throughout.

It wasn't until Zheng Yiyi brought up today's destination that she asked, "Do you like watching musicals?"

"How did you know it was a musical?" Lu Qinian asked curiously, since no staff member had directly told them where they were going today.

Zheng Yiyi was surprised, "Really? Didn't you notice it on the blackboard yesterday?"

Zheng Yiyi thought that anyone who went to see it would know that the second route was a musical.

"Then I'm just fine." Lu Qinian finally showed some happiness, and the hair on his forehead bounced with his joy.

He drove very smoothly, and the other three people in the car didn't feel any bumps at all.

Seeing that she was interested, Zheng Yi continued the conversation, "Do you know which actor is performing today?"

Zheng Yi knew that Lu Qinian didn't know, which is why she asked that question.

"Can you guess?" Zheng Yi looked at Lu Qinian, who was focused on driving, and before Lu Qinian could speak, she said directly, "It's an actor you really like."

Saying such things in this atmosphere is rather ambiguous.

The comments from the viewers in their two live streams also became ambiguous.

【No way, this is starting already?】

It has to be the older sister! She's amazing!

The young man didn't understand the allure of younger women; now I do.

There are also rational fans who don't immediately start shipping them.

[By the way, they're only about two years apart in age, right?]

Someone below asked curiously, "I'm new here, I don't know, who's older between them?"

Lu Qinian is 28 this year, and Zheng Yiyi is probably 30.

28 isn't young anymore, is it?

[Is it alright in the entertainment industry?]

The topic of the two people's ages sparked a discussion in the live chat.

The atmosphere in the third car was alright; it was Xing Anhe and Zhao Shuyue.

A while ago, Xing Anhe shaved her head into a buzz cut for a role, so she doesn't need to care about her hairstyle now.

With a buzz cut, Xing Anhe looks incredibly manly compared to Li Yicheng today, who is wearing makeup.

Zhao Shuyue looked beautiful today, although Xing Anhe didn't see Shen Nanqiao as she had expected when she opened the car door.

He still prefers Shen Nanqiao the first time he sees her yesterday.

It wasn't because Shen Nanqiao was pretty; Xing Anhe glanced at Zhao Shuyue sitting in the passenger seat next to her.

Actually, Zhao Shuyue is also very pretty, but she's not the same as Shen Nanqiao.

Xing Anhe was attracted to Shen Nanqiao not because Shen Nanqiao was more refined than Zhao Shuyue, but because of Shen Nanqiao's commercial value.

He had already learned about all the guests before he arrived.

Among these people, Shen Nanqiao may not have been in the industry the longest, nor has she acted in the most films. However, she is the one who generates the most buzz.

By the way, Xing Anhe didn't come here to find true love. There's no such thing as true love in entertainment variety shows, Xing Anhe knew that before she came.

He was just promoting his new drama that he had just finished filming.

That's why she came on camera with a freshly cut head of hair.
