“Big Brother An, is your cancer really incurable?”
“It’s incurable.”
“Can’t money cure it?”
“It can’t be cured.”
“I’m sorry.” Su Xingchen lowered his head to apologize.
“It’s alright, hahaha~”
Su Xingchen deeply sympathized with Chen Huaian.
But seeing the composure and confidence on Chen Huaian’s face, he felt that he had no right to feel sorry for such a person who radiated light and warmth.
He didn’t need sympathy.
His life was more brilliant than anyone else’s at this moment.
Perhaps this was what they called ‘heaven envying talent.’
She thought secretly in her heart.
Heaven gave Chen Huaian an unmatched appearance but took away his lifespan. This should have been a tragedy, yet Chen Huaian turned it into an inspiring comedy with his optimistic attitude.
The entire conversation between Chen Huaian and Su Xingchen was live-streamed.
There were hardly any cheers for Cai Yifan in the chat; instead, they were filled almost entirely with “tearful eyes.”
Director Zhang sneered.
People are hypocritical, and the hypocrisy online is amplified without cost.
Just moments ago, they were shouting to kick Chen Huaian out of the production team, and now they’re shedding tears?
But no one knew that while Chen Huaian appeared calm on the surface, inside, it felt like countless ants were crawling over him.
He wanted to use his phone!
He wanted to know if Li Qingran had successfully entered Spirit Intuition Valley and what she was doing now.
After entering the valley, would she be bullied by other disciples because she was still a newbie disciple?
Unfortunately, until the recording finished at the top of the mountain, he couldn’t play games.
Even if he checked his phone, it would only be a quick glance when the camera wasn’t on him.
But why did the cameraman keep shooting him intentionally or unintentionally?
Chen Huaian felt like he was about to break apart.
“Hey, I suddenly feel full of energy! Can I lead the group?” Cai Yifan skipped happily to the front and asked the leading uncle if he could take charge.
“Are you going to lead?” The uncle looked at Cai Yifan’s thin arms and legs silently: “This might not be a good idea. This path isn’t the tourist route of Heavenly Gate Mountain, and it’s nighttime now. If there’s an emergency, like encountering wild animals, we need to make the best judgment quickly to avoid provoking them. Can you handle that?”
Cai Yifan thought to himself, it’s 2034 already, where could you find wild animals?
Even if there were wild animals in Heavenly Gate Mountain, would they dare to cause trouble with so many people around?
It was just that this retired mountaineer athlete wanted to make money.
If the leader was someone else, they might deduct his salary.
Hah, horses are just horses, especially retired ones, far inferior to him, a popular young star.
“Uncle, don’t worry. I practiced child martial arts at Shaolin Temple when I was little, and I still have my childlike innocence. I haven’t lost my skills yet~ I’m super strong, even if there’s a bear on the road, I can knock it down!”
Cai Yifan showed off his “superb” muscle lines.
He indeed trained at Shaolin, but he returned after less than a month.
Before he became famous, he didn’t think much of this experience, but after becoming famous, his agent and company packaged him as a lay disciple of Shaolin Temple, immediately sticking a bunch of positive labels on him.
Like having a pure heart from Shaolin.
Being physically strong from practicing martial arts since childhood.
Being resilient from martial arts training…
To make him look more convincing, the company trained him in martial arts actions for a month. They didn’t require strength, only that the moves looked good, enough to fool those brain-dead fans.
Now, Cai Yifan himself was somewhat confused.
In the quiet of the night, smoking after an event, he occasionally truly felt like some kind of kung fu master.
So every time he grouped up, he would say to the support: “Be patient, I’m very strong.”
But in reality, even if he farmed for a month, he’d still die within five minutes.
Despite this, Cai Yifan still felt good about himself and frequently grouped up.
The uncle knew Cai Yifan wasn’t easy to deal with, so he could only give Director Zhang a questioning look.
The director paid his salary, so if the director agreed, he’d let him go.
Director Zhang pondered for a long time and couldn’t figure out what Cai Yifan was trying to do.
He assumed Cai Yifan just wanted to prove himself, establish an image, and restore his reputation.
Pineapple TV and Cai Yifan’s Starlight Entertainment Company were partners, and as the program director of Pineapple TV, he naturally needed to cooperate with the higher-ups and give Cai Yifan a chance to showcase himself.
Even though, he didn’t want to do it.
‘Let him.’ Director Zhang gave the uncle a nod.
The uncle nodded, quietly moving to the back of the line.
This was the second most important position.
When wolves discover large prey, they follow behind and call their companions, waiting for the right moment to attack. But the production team clearly lacked vigilance in this area, hiring only him as a professional.
At this point, the chat in the live stream rolled again:
[Is Brother Fan going to lead? Wow, so brave, although he’s not as handsome as Brother Guangtou～]
[Is Brother Fan going to collaborate with Brother Huai’an? Let’s ship them together～]
[Brother Huai’an is the best-looking, nasty fans of Brother Fan stay away!]
[What’s staying away? I can fan both Brother Xiao Fan and Brother Huai’an without affecting each other～]
[Exactly, Brother Huai’an, we love you too～]
…
Chen Huaian didn’t realize that he had started attracting a large number of female fans.
And these female fans had already begun feuding with Cai Yifan’s fans.
The strange thing was that this feud was like scratching an itch.
Because Cai Yifan’s fans were also hesitant about retaliating.
After all, this guy looked absolutely amazing.
With a bunch of buffs glowing like Buddha’s light.
Flawless, impossible to criticize!
And they couldn’t even open their mouths either.
Just looking at that face, all the anger disappeared, leaving them wanting nothing more than to quietly enjoy the screen, even devoid of any desire to defile.
Meanwhile, after obtaining the leadership role, Cai Yifan began his performance.
“Everyone, cheer up!” He spread his arms wide, shouting with a bright smile: “At our current speed, how long will it take to reach the top? Don’t you want to see the first sunrise on Heavenly Gate Mountain?”
“One two three, let’s go!”
Cai Yifan walked very fast at the front.
The cameraman had no choice but to grit his teeth and keep up.
Other celebrities, seeing the cameraman walking ahead, had no choice but to endure their fatigue and catch up, otherwise wouldn’t they get no screen time?
Su Xingchen originally wanted to catch up too, but when he turned around and saw Chen Huaian leaning on his cane, his heart softened involuntarily: “Big Brother An, are you okay? Should I help you?”
“No need.” Chen Huaian shook his hand and smiled: “I’ve gotten used to this cane, it might be easier than normal people walking. I can keep up, don’t worry!”
What nonsense?
He, was a superman with genetic lock activation!
Need help?
After speaking, Chen Huaian started to accelerate.
Tonight, he didn’t know why, but his right leg felt like it had a small motor attached, full of endless energy, not feeling tired at all. He wasn’t afraid of being exposed either, after all, the osteosarcoma on his leg was real, not special effects.
Seeing Chen Huaian surpass her in a few steps, Su Xingchen was momentarily stunned.
Could this be the speed of a disabled person?
A flicker of doubt arose in her heart, but it was quickly smoothed over by guilt and moved.
‘It must be because Big Brother An wants us not to worry, right?’
‘How could he not be in pain walking like this?’
‘He’s already disabled, already in the late stages of cancer, yet he still cares so much about everyone’s feelings!’
‘I’m really… crying my eyes out QAQ…’
…
And up ahead, upon seeing Chen Huaian quickly catching up, a sinister glint flashed in Cai Yifan’s eyes:
“Hmph, finally couldn’t resist, huh… So you want to steal the spotlight, gain popularity, is that it?
Then I’ll expose you! Ruin your reputation!”
Everything went as he expected.
Soon, without his prompting, someone would notice Chen Huaian’s abnormality.
How could a disabled person possibly keep up with the group’s speed?
Fake!
Meanwhile—
On the side of the team, in the forest,
On an unnoticed treetop.
A pair of legs dangled down, a schoolbag hooked on the shoe tip.
Looking up, a girl in high school uniform rested her hands behind her head, dozing off.
The night wind blew, a few leaves fell.
She sniffed, and a cold gleam flashed in her eyes as they opened.
There’s demonic aura!
…
