The Rebirth of a Top Star

The later scenes in the program were basically segments that Shen Nanqiao already knew. After watching her own performance in them, Shen Nanqiao turned off the TV.

Shen Nanqiao didn't want to pay much attention to how many fans the others had.

It was only then that I remembered that I hadn't replied to Teacher Gu Ning.

"Teacher Gu, the director specifically requested that we not exchange contact information offline."

Shen Nanqiao had been waiting for a long time and didn't expect Gu Ning to reply so quickly.

"I wasn't on the show afterward, so it's not considered a violation, right?"

Just then, Shen Nanqiao received a mass text message from the director: "Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, a male guest will be randomly selected to knock on your door. In order to show the comfort of the actress at home, please try to appear on camera without makeup."

The phrase "try my best" also reflects the full effort put into it.

Shen Nanqiao glanced at her phone and tossed it aside. She figured she'd better get some sleep today, since it was all pointless and pointless.

Shen Nanqiao walked from the living room into her bedroom, which was ridiculously large, even larger than the entire area of ​​her previous small house.

The entire house has only one bedroom and a storage room that is only half the size of the previous resident's house, which is filled with the previous resident's belongings.

Shen Nanqiao observed that the house was not originally laid out this way. The landlord knocked down several rooms for comfort, creating this bright and comfortable house.

Floor-to-ceiling windows, a large balcony, a sofa with a projector, and a comfortable bathtub.

This landlord is really eccentric. When Shen Nanqiao asked to add the landlord on WeChat, Song Shiyuan refused outright. He said the landlord had a rather strange personality and didn't like adding strangers on WeChat, but he only had one requirement for Shen Nanqiao: she wasn't allowed to bring other men back to hang out with him.

Firstly, Shen Nanqiao had no men to mingle with, and secondly, Shen Nan was curious about the reason for such rules.

Song Shiyuan sent a laughing-crying emoji and quietly added, "It's said to affect the landlord's feng shui and fortune."

In short, the explanation was quite mysterious, but Shen Nanqiao still decided to take it seriously, since the landlord's offer was really reasonable.

The next morning, Shen Nanqiao, who had gone to bed early the night before with a face mask on, got up and tidied herself up. The bathroom was huge, and she no longer had to stand up straight in fear of having her back pressed against the wall.

Shen Nanqiao adapted very well, so the moment the doorbell was rung, she went to open the door wearing only long-sleeved pajamas.

Xing Anhe's face appeared on the screen in an instant.

Shen Nanqiao was still looking up when she realized that the distance she was estimating was wrong, so she quickly looked down and finally saw Xing Anhe's face.

The live stream outside the door had already started. Shen Nanqiao saw the familiar face behind the camera and smiled at the cameraman.

The viewers watching the live stream were anything but calm.

Qiaoqiao smiled at me!

[Beautiful woman without makeup]

I'm absolutely blown away! How can a woman look this good even without makeup?!

[Shen Nanqiao's gaze wasn't initially directed at Xing Anhe; did he think it was Gu Ning, hahaha?]

I also thought Gu Ning was back at Shen Nanqiao's house. Go, my favorite couple!

[They're about the same height, so why is Shen Nanqiao looking at them so strangely, like they're looking at thin air?]

Xing Anhe shifted her feet uncomfortably. She had been in such a rush to leave home today that she had even been woken up by the production crew knocking on her door this morning.

Yes, the show has been broadcasting live for quite a while now. This time, it wasn't just the production team bringing the male guest to knock on the female guest's door; they even went to the male guest's house first and knocked on his bedroom door.

Shen Nanqiao was unaware of all this; she was just a little girl who had just woken up.

"Please come in." Shen Nanqiao gestured to let Xing Anhe and the staff behind her in. In fact, not only the viewers in the live broadcast thought it would be Gu Ning.

Although Shen Nanqiao was unwilling to be associated with Gu Ning, she subconsciously felt that it was Gu Ning. She felt much more comfortable being with Gu Ning.

That's why when Shen Nanqiao opened the door, she looked at Gu Ning from the same height she usually did, only to find herself looking at the top of someone else's head and thin air.

Xing Anhe and Gu Ning are officially listed as having similar heights.

Shen Nanqiao watched as Xing Anhe walked in with her chin raised, following her movements. She glanced at her up and down to make sure it wasn't her imagination; Xing Anhe in the second episode was indeed different in height from the previous one.

Thinking about all this, Shen Nanqiao smiled. She didn't care about anyone's height; what she realized in an instant was just how stupid and ridiculous her actions had been.

But Xing Anhe saw this smile differently. He was already annoyed because he hadn't tidied himself up properly before leaving home, and the look of Shen Nanqiao's secret glances just now only fueled his anger.

He can be tactful at times, but he's also very concerned about saving face.

"What time did you get up this morning to put on your makeup? It's so exquisite."

In Xing Anhe's mind, her high EQ question not only showed that Shen Nanqiao was hardworking and got up early, but also indicated that Shen Nanqiao did not follow the program team's requirements.

A lot of things can be achieved with one stone.

As soon as she said that, Shen Nanqiao was stunned, and the viewers in the live stream were also stunned.

[Our Qiao Qiao is without makeup, okay?]

Open your dog eyes and look carefully. Don't you know what "bare face" means?

[It's also possible that it wasn't visible on camera. Perhaps Xing Anhe could tell that Shen Nanqiao was wearing makeup, otherwise she wouldn't have concealed it like that.]

Women who fake things are the most annoying.

That means Shen Nanqiao might not look that great without makeup.

Shen Nanqiao closed the door and sat down on the sofa to greet them. Regarding the matter of not wearing makeup, Shen Nanqiao glanced at Xing Anhe's face, even openly staring at it without any attempt to conceal it.

After reading it, I smiled and didn't say anything else. But when I turned around to pour water for them, I said, "Then I'll take that as a compliment."

Shen Nanqiao resolved many issues with a single sentence, while also embarrassing Xing Anhe, whose face turned pale.

"Sister Nan Qiao, may we visit your home?" the photographer behind the camera asked.

Shen Nanqiao was a little confused. "Is this just one of today's procedures?" She hadn't received any prior notice.

"The houses here must be very expensive," Shen Nanqiao asked the cameraman, but Xing Anhe persisted.

When Shen Nanqiao looked at the photographer, the camera seemed to her more like she was making eye contact with the live stream audience.

Upon hearing this, Shen Nanqiao merely glanced at Xing Anhe indifferently, without uttering a single additional word.

The cameraman behind the camera explained, "Our viewers want to visit Professor Shen's home. We don't know if there's a chance."

Shen Nanqiao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled broadly: "Of course, but I haven't tidied up the other functional areas much. The living room is probably the tidiest place." Shen Nanqiao hadn't thought of this, so the other areas remained as they were.

But since there are viewers who want to watch, Shen Nanqiao is naturally willing to introduce it.

She was still wearing her pajamas, and she appeared on the show in full view.

More and more people flocked to watch Shen Nanqiao's live stream, which was more than double the number of viewers for the first time.

Shen Nanqiao didn't rush to start. She first asked, as if seeking her opinion, "Do you have equipment that can show me the current live comments?"

Shen Nanqiao was actually quite curious about what people would say in the live stream chat.

The program edited in post-production will mostly be watched by viewers who have already seen it. Many of them will comment on the names and plot. Shen Nanqiao wanted to see what the most direct, first-hand comments without all that messy stuff looked like.

The cameraman and his assistant were in a bit of a predicament because the director hadn't given them that authority.

He looked into Shen Nanqiao's eyes and wanted to agree, but he couldn't bring himself to speak.

As Shen Nanqiao approached, the oversized pajamas she wore clung to her body's curves with her movements, highlighting her slender waistline.

The screen was filled with comments like "Let her see, let her see."

The most frequent posts about "Guo Qiao Rice Noodles" were from people who hadn't even gotten up yet in the morning.

After Shen Nanqiao took a few steps over, the cameraman finally gave in and gestured to his assistant to take the tablet they were monitoring in real time to Shen Nanqiao.

The moment Shen Nanqiao picked up the screen, the barrage of comments was full of support and praise for her. Shen Nanqiao had never felt the love from her fans so directly before.

I became famous very quickly in the past, and I didn't have much contact with my fans. Most of the time, they were the ones who cheered for me, and I was like a flower on a high mountain, only able to look at them from afar.

Your agent at the time said, "You don't need to be too approachable; all you need to do is be beautiful and capable."

Shen Nanqiao is now looking at the screen filled with messages like "Qiaoqiao is the best, Mom loves you the most".

"Keep it up, Qiaoqiao! You're really funny, hahaha!"

For the first time, these warm words brought me a real sense of connection to the fan community.

Perhaps, this is the power of love.

Shen Nanqiao couldn't control her tears, but her eyes held them back well, preventing her from making a direct embarrassment. She lowered her head, handed over the tablet, and turned to say she would go change her clothes before showing everyone around.

Xing Anhe, who had been ignored by Shen Nanqiao, spoke up again: "Are you going to cry?"

......

I've never seen a man with such low emotional intelligence.

[She performed quite well on the last show, what happened to her now?]

Who knows?

Shen Nanqiao also wanted to yell, "Who knows?" She barely managed to hold back her tears. Having such a loud-mouthed guest was really annoying.

Shen Nanqiao returned to her bedroom in silence, while the camera that had been focused on Shen Nanqiao turned back to Xing Anhe's face.

Xing Anhe's indifferent and amused expression hadn't fully faded before she was patted on the chest.

"I was just concerned about her, I didn't expect her to be so unhappy, I have to comfort her today."

Even at this point, Xing Anhe maintained excellent control over her facial expressions in front of the camera.

His buzz cut appeared on camera, and based on what he had just said, he really looked like a thug who had angered the female lead, and he was really asking for a beating.

He's no longer the righteous male lead he once was; his image in the dating reality show has plummeted.

Xing Anhe was still basking in the joy of winning back a point when Shen Nanqiao came out, all ready. She was still without makeup, only dressed in a fresh, clean outfit.

She gave everyone a quick tour, only glancing at the entrances, except for the bedroom door, which Shen Nanqiao didn't open: "It's too private, so let's not look."

Their bright and charming smiles at the camera were a testament to Shen Nanqiao's words, and everyone seemed to be responding to her.

[What are you looking at? The little princess's bedroom is not a place for just anyone to peek into.]

Alright, alright, this part can be finished now.

After Shen Nanqiao waved at the camera, the camera cut off and switched to another group.

Shen Nanqiao stretched out and told the staff that she could go out after getting ready. The other groups' live streams were just starting now, and everyone was going in order, but Shen Nanqiao was the first group.

After settling everyone on the sofa in the living room, Shen Nanqiao kindly handed the remote control she had just found to Xing Anhe, who was sitting in the middle, saying, "You can watch TV for a while if you're bored. I'll be quick."

Shen Nanqiao never gives a friendly face to people who deliberately target him. He's only maintaining basic decorum now because his partner is here today.

Xing Anhe glanced at Shen Nanqiao standing in front of her, and her heart swelled with joy. Shen Nanqiao was beautiful, even without makeup.

Xing Anhe could see how clean and beautiful Shen Nanqiao's face was without makeup. She had said those things on purpose at first because she wanted to get back at him after being frustrated. Now, looking at Shen Nanqiao's face up close, she realized that she was a different person.

Suddenly I realized that it might be okay not to make things so awkward.

Shen Nanqiao's smile widened. Seeing that Xing Anhe was staring at his face in a daze but did not take the remote control he was given, he turned around and handed it directly to the photographer sitting next to him.

Shen Nanqiao went back to her bedroom to tidy up, and Xing Anhe's eyes followed her intently without blinking.

Actually, it wouldn't be a problem to apologize properly later.

Xing Anhe pondered to himself that the unusual sensation under his feet made him feel very insecure. He curled his toes and sat obediently on the sofa, lost in thought.

There are actually two reasons why Shen Nanqiao always wears light makeup on TV shows.

Firstly, Shen Nanqiao's makeup skills are only slightly above average. If you ask her to do a delicate and stunning makeup look for herself, it would take a long time. In the same amount of time, Shen Nanqiao could alter a similar outfit.

Secondly, Shen Nanqiao is actually very suitable for those heavily made-up looks, but she would rather leave such opportunities in TV dramas and movies to amaze people.

In conclusion, going makeup-free is still the best look for me.

Twenty minutes later, Shen Nanqiao turned around and closed the door. "We can go now."

We had arranged to have lunch together at a restaurant.

Only after receiving news that the others had almost all arrived did Shen Nanqiao push open the door and enter.

The locations they chose were really bizarre; although they were all within the city limits of Yungang, they were far from where Shen Nanqiao currently lived.

It was because of the morning traffic that we arrived so slowly.

Shen Nanqiao initially thought that when she opened the door, there would be a room full of people staring at her. Therefore, Shen Nanqiao was extremely careful to be courteous, and Xing Anhe walked in front of her.

Upon opening the door, one is greeted by an empty, luxurious private room.

Apart from the machines that were set up, there was nothing else.
