Quick Transmigration: Let Me Tell You, I'm a Social Anxiety Person

Chapter 58 After her online romance was exposed, she and her arch-nemesis had a happy ending (5)

The farce of the kitten fishing ended with staff confiscating the entire backpack.

“You guys should also do something we can film.” The PD felt a headache coming on amidst the group’s reluctant gazes. “Play some normal games that can help us get to know each other, or if all else fails, just sit down and chat.”

At the PD's pleading, the soft-hearted god was moved. Shen Zhu slightly raised his chin at the crowd, and the six of them sat down on the carpet around the round table.

The over-aged children all turned their attention to Shen Zhu, waiting for him to issue further orders.

Shen Zhu thought for a moment: "Let me introduce myself first."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him looked at each other in bewilderment.

Before they arrived on the show, their agents had already prepared the information of the show's guests and had the artists familiarize themselves with it in advance, all to avoid awkwardness.

By saying this, Shen Zhu was essentially announcing that he hadn't looked at the information at all and didn't take anyone else seriously.

The surroundings fell silent, but the man remained completely oblivious: "Who wants to start?"

"Me!" Someone immediately raised their hand; it was the blond male guest who had just praised Shen Zhu the loudest.

Wen Ying remembered him; he was trending on social media just a few days ago because he called someone next to him by the wrong name as his former teammate at a business event, which led to him being voted out by CP fans as the ex-boyfriend bot.

Below the trending Weibo post, fans of the couple cried their hearts out: "Even after the divorce, you were still wearing the same couple bracelet as him, but he had already embraced another woman and returned to the love nest you once lived in."

Now, he and his former teammates have participated in this variety show together, and the CP fans and solo fans immediately started tearing each other apart, arguing that their appearance together was a rekindling of old feelings or a commercial fling.

"My name is Shi Yuan. I used to be the main dancer of the group WI. Now I'm working hard to be a good actor." Shi Yuan smiled and suddenly reached out and hooked the male guest next to him who was dozing off. "This is Yuan Chen, my teammate, an excellent rapper."

All eyes turned to him, and Shi Yuan explained his actions: "He was too sleepy, so I introduced him first."

"..." Yuan Chen seemed to be still dazed and hadn't woken up yet. After a few seconds, his face suddenly turned ashen, and he pushed Shi Yuan's arm away and left.

Just leave like that?

Wen Ying blinked and noticed that Shi Yuan's lips were stiff and his expression was not good. These two didn't seem like teammates, but rather like enemies.

Shen Zhu ignored this and turned to the next person: "You."

The next female guest to speak was Yang Li, who debuted two years earlier than Wen Ying, but she doesn't have any representative works. In recent years, she has started appearing on various variety shows, and has been dubbed by netizens as a "sensitive-skinned variety show star who became famous because of her figure."

"As for me, those who need to know already know, and those who don't know don't want to know, and I have no interest in letting them know."

Yang Li sat languidly to one side, dressed lightly despite the cold winter weather, and was even holding a round fan, which she waved at Guo Jingye.

"..." Guo Jingye calmly wrapped her down jacket tighter and finished her self-introduction.

In the blink of an eye, it was Wen Ying's turn. Holding a cup that had been refilled with water, she smiled and said, "My name is Wen Ying, and I am an actress. It's a pleasure to meet you all. I hope we can get along well in the future."

"Your main job is acting?" Yang Li held her fan to her cheek, looking surprised. "Teacher Wen has a side job?"

Her words drew curious glances from the others.

Wen Ying smiled and said, "It's not really a side job, just a little hobby. I can read tarot cards."

Yang Li was still surprised: "Tarot cards? The kind used for fortune telling? Then let me try to tell your fortune?" She then stretched out her wrist.

Wen Ying remained calm and pulled her sleeve down slightly: "Tarot doesn't require observation, listening, questioning, or palpation. Be careful not to catch a cold."

After saying that, he took a small sip of hot water from his cup: "I'll ask my assistant in a few days if they can send the cards over, but if Teacher Yang is interested, please contact me privately."

There's no need to say anything more. The camera is rolling, and we can't spread superstition in front of the audience.

Wen Ying sipped her water, and the room fell silent again. The person who was supposed to introduce herself was frozen in place, her amber eyes staring straight at her.

Wen Ying was puzzled and tilted her head. Shen Zhu's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he inadvertently turned his head away.

"I am Shen Zhu." He uttered those four emotionless words and then fell silent.

Quiet again.

After sitting there awkwardly for a while, Yuan Chen finally returned.

Instead of sitting in his original seat, he squeezed between Guo Jingye and Wen Ying.

"Where did you go?" Shi Yuan asked.

Yuan Chen didn't even look up as he reached for the tissue box next to him, but it was already empty.

Wen Ying noticed that his hands were wet and his face was also covered in water droplets, so she took out a tissue from her own and politely handed it to him.

"Thank you." Yuan Chen quickly wiped his face, and then replied to Shi Yuan, "I went to the restroom."

"..." Shi Yuan's lips twitched, as if he was trying his best to endure it, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Shen Zhu, however, suddenly spoke up: "Wen Ying."

For the first time ever, he called her by her name: "Is your 'heart-to-heart' relationship something you buy in bulk?"

Wen Ying was taken aback: "This is Qingfeng."

Shen Zhu paused for a moment, staring at the green packaging in Wen Ying's hand, as if lost in thought.

The atmosphere became tense for a moment. Even Yang Li, who had plenty of experience in variety shows, didn't try to smooth things over. She just waved her fan, glancing at Wen Ying one moment and then at Shen Zhu the next.

In the end, Shi Yuan couldn't take it anymore: "Let's play a game to strengthen our relationship."

The game is called "You Have What I Don't" and it often appears at large gatherings.

Shi Yuan explained the rules to everyone: the people present would take turns talking about something that only they had done, in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. If anyone in the room had the same experience, they could raise their hand, and the person who spoke would be considered to have failed and would have to drink a penalty shot. Otherwise, they would have to put down a finger. After using up five chances, they would also have to drink a penalty shot.

“The original rule was that each person had five chances to say no, and since there are six of us here, that counts as six chances,” Shi Yuan said. “We can’t drink alcohol on the show, so we’ll use water instead of alcohol.”

After speaking, Shi Yuan distributed disposable paper cups to everyone.

Although Wen Ying brought her own cup, she felt it would be fairer to use the same paper cup as everyone else, so she put her water cup aside.

The game began, and Shi Yuan spoke first as usual: "I've been to the ICU."

Everyone was taken aback. Yang Li asked curiously, "How did you get in? How many days did you stay? Did it hurt?"

"I stayed there for two weeks, but I didn't announce it at the time because I was afraid my fans would worry," Shi Yuan said with a smile. "It doesn't hurt anymore now."

The fact that it doesn't hurt now means it did hurt before.

As Shi Yuan spoke, his gaze drifted towards Yuan Chen, but the latter showed no reaction and simply lowered a finger.

"My turn." Yang Li waved her fan. "I still have my first kiss."

Upon hearing this, the others immediately shouted "I don't believe it!", but Yang Li insisted that although she had a somewhat ethereal image, she had never kissed anyone on the lips. The remaining people could only reluctantly lower one finger.

"That's truly astonishing," Yang Li said softly, glancing around at everyone.

“Actors have all filmed some kissing scenes, but what about Teacher Shen?” She stared at Shen Zhu with a mischievous look. “Teacher Shen has always claimed to have zero scandals since his debut, but it turns out it was all a lie.”

Shen Zhu didn't even lift his eyelids, ignoring everyone's gossip, and went straight to the next segment.

"I had my first kiss when I was seventeen," he said slowly, drawing out the last syllable.

No one present expected him to reveal this, and they were stunned for a moment, not knowing how to respond. After a long while, they put their fingers down one by one.

Wen Ying's fingertips twitched slightly, but she didn't have time to curl them up.

"I was just kidding," Shen Zhu said again.

As if he had just succeeded in a prank, his tone rose in a lighthearted voice: "I'm drinking water."
