Chapter 43: Absolutely Not, Absolutely Not – I’m Dead from the Sweetness
Initially, Song Mingzhi was pleasantly surprised to see Dong Ling, but she just assumed Dong Ling knew she was filming here today and came to visit.
Only when she received the “mask” clue card did she realize what true surprise meant.
The production team wouldn’t have taken the liberty of having Dong Ling be an NPC in the game, it must have been Dong Ling’s own request, she might have even offered something in return.
This wasn’t just a simple visit to the set. When Dong Ling held her hand, the joy in her heart reached its peak.
The live stream chat was flooded with question marks, even viewers from other live streams poured in.
[What kind of godly operation is this? I suddenly feel like the screen has turned pink.]
[I was planning to come in and rant, but I suddenly stopped, this atmosphere…]
[Wow, you can even play like this? I thought the game was going to end early today.]
[Wait… isn’t this a civilian girlfriend openly showing off her affection?]
[As a solo stan, just a reminder, ship whoever you want, but don’t take it too seriously and don’t spread rumors about my Jiejie’s sexual orientation.]
[I’m dead from the sweetness, I’m dead! It was just holding hands, but I feel like I’m going to faint from the sweetness.]
[Wuwuwu My Song Zhong, is it really going to be BE like this? (BE – Bad Ending)]
[What nonsense are those saying my CP is BE talking about? It won’t be BE until there’s an official announcement, thank you.]
[Where are my detective girls! Can you tell us or not?! Is this our CEO Dong?!]
[Taking screenshots, taking screenshots, stop arguing, stop arguing.]
Rainbow Bridge wasn’t long, it only took a few steps for an adult to cross from the middle.
Song Mingzhi’s hand was warm, Dong Ling thought it was probably because hers was too cold.
During her frozen state just now, her palms were covered in cold sweat.
Wait… cold sweat.
After they stopped, Dong Ling immediately withdrew her hand.
This was too impolite. Dong Ling tried hard to suppress her instinctive apology and conveyed her apologies with her eyes.
Song Mingzhi was slightly startled by the sudden emptiness in her hand, but seeing Dong Ling’s apologetic look, she nodded slightly in understanding.
The girl was probably a little shy in front of the camera.
“Have you had lunch? Want to eat together?”
Song Mingzhi saw that it was almost lunchtime, but she didn’t know when Dong Ling arrived or if she was hungry.
[My heartless Song Jie, she wasn’t like this when we were urging her to eat earlier, wuwuwu.]
[Is the program team allowed to do this? Isn’t this cheating?]
[I’m dying of laughter, some people don’t know the meaning of cheating, do they? My Jiejie played the game fair and square, how is it cheating because a staff member is her friend?]
[Ooh, the eating broadcast is coming! I’m looking forward to seeing Jiejie take off her mask!]
[Watching this live stream, I almost thought I was watching a dating show…]
[Wait, who is this Song Mingzhi? I don’t know her, what are her works? Came in to watch the fun and it’s all about shipping CPs, is she a celebrity who relies on CP bonuses?]
[“A Mysterious Person’s Funeral” is currently showing in theaters, anyone with a brain would search it up, don’t think you are the world, okay?]
[As a CP fan who has been watching the live stream all morning, I’m dead from the sweetness, this contrast is too cute, cold and indifferent to everything except for this girl, changing directions, smiling, chasing after her, and holding hands, I’m drowning in sugar, guys.]
Dong Ling thought for a moment and nodded.
Song Mingzhi couldn’t leave work today, and neither could she, after all, this was a live stream, not a recording, it couldn’t be edited.
It wasn’t a big deal to eat while wearing a mask, she could just have the camera focus on Song Mingzhi.
The production team breathed a sigh of relief, knowing Song Mingzhi had everything under control, and immediately had staff members lead them to the lunch area for filming.
Looking at the two people walking side by side in front of the camera, the director felt a twinge of envy.
He originally thought this was just the investor having some fun, but now, it seemed a bit like using company funds for a date. But it was someone else’s boss and someone else’s artist, so it didn’t matter to them, as long as the show had topics and popularity.
And this also gave the director some inspiration, it wouldn’t be bad to do this in the future, maybe he could even launch a new project, a dating variety show.
The midday sun was scorching, Dong Ling shielded her eyes with her hand, feeling the sweat on her face under the mask, uncomfortable.
Due to filming requirements, the place where the guests had their meals wasn’t the restaurant where tourists ate, but a private area.
When Song Mingzhi arrived, Tong Qing happened to come out.
“Teacher Song, why are you so late? The second task is too difficult, did you find it?”
Tong Qing fanned herself while talking, her eyes quickly glancing at the masked woman in a miko costume standing aside.
Song Mingzhi nodded and replied: “I found it.”
Tong Qing was about to offer some comfort, saying it was normal not to find it because it was very difficult, but hearing Song Mingzhi say she found it, her eyes widened in surprise.
“You found it so quickly? Then you’ll definitely finish the task very quickly.”
The corners of Song Mingzhi’s lips curved slightly upwards, and she said: “Perhaps.”
Tong Qing cheered herself up energetically: “Then we have to work hard too!”
[I wonder how Tong Qing will feel after watching the replay, 233333]
[Girl, wake up, your Teacher Song’s third NPC is standing right in front of her, she’s just one step away from winning.]
[Hahahaha, is this playing possum? What a power move.]
[My Jiejie’s sly look is quite charming, hahaha.]
[Although the camera isn’t facing the miko sister, I think she must be holding back her laughter, hahaha.]
Dong Ling wasn’t holding back her laughter, but she did think Song Mingzhi was a bit mischievous.
She seemed like a dignified, elegant, kind-hearted person, but Dong Ling knew she could be playful sometimes, she had teased her when they first met.
But Song Mingzhi’s teasing never made one angry, like snowflakes suddenly falling from a branch, startling you, but not annoying.
The food in front of Song Mingzhi was bought by her assistant according to her usual preferences. Zuo Zhen, mindful of the program, specifically told Xiao Tan not to buy anything too expensive, just moderately priced food.
Three dishes, a soup, and a box of rice, it looked delicious.
Because they didn’t know Dong Ling would be there, Dong Ling ate the food provided by the program team, a standard business lunchbox, not fancy, but not bad either.
Song Mingzhi glanced at it and then swapped their lunchboxes, intending to eat Dong Ling’s.
“Hey… no need, I don’t have much of an appetite, anything is fine.”
Dong Ling was startled and stopped Song Mingzhi.
Based on Dong Ling’s usual spending habits, she had indeed never eaten this kind of business lunchbox before, but it wasn’t inedible, Song Mingzhi’s action made her a little flustered.
Song Mingzhi held the microphone again and said: “Even if I have to suffer, I can’t let my boss suffer.”
Dong Ling then realized that although she and Song Mingzhi interacted as friends, she was still nominally Song Mingzhi’s boss, there was an employer-employee relationship between them. They were both smart, it wouldn’t be right to eat the better food and let the boss eat the lower-grade one in front of the cameras.
“It’s okay, the cameras are rolling.”
They weren’t in the shot at this moment. The audience, looking at the empty table and the suddenly silent live stream, were letting their imaginations run wild.
[Is that my CEO Dong!!! I really think that’s CEO Dong’s voice!]
[Song Zhong sisters, quickly investigate! We have the voice, we have the lips, quickly compare!]
[Turning sadness into joy, guys, I almost thought there was a new CP sweeter than the one I’m shipping, but it turned out to be the real deal, what a sweet plot twist, hahahahaha!]
[Based on the miko sister’s words, Song Jie was definitely planning to do something, but she was stopped, does it have something to do with the food?]
[Aaaaa, I’m dying of anxiety, cameraman, can you be a little more perceptive? Don’t you know who to focus on?]
[The style of this live stream is truly unique…]
[This sister has created a new way to play this variety show, turning a competitive game into a sugar-fest, is there any justice?!]
After a while, the sound returned to the live stream.
Song Mingzhi appeared in the shot, taking the food out of the bags one by one.
Even without the comments, anyone with eyes could see that these dishes didn’t come from the same restaurant.
The first box contained Eight Treasure Duck, the second box was scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Not to say anything bad about scrambled eggs with tomatoes, but it was clearly out of place.
[I’m tired of saying the word “doting.”]
[This old servant is tired of saying “so sweet.”]
[Song Jie is amazing, she didn’t even say anything, I counted, from their first encounter until now, she’s only said two or three sentences to the miko sister, and they were all very ordinary, not even remotely ambiguous when taken out of context, but she somehow makes it seem so doting, how does she do it?]
[Am I the only one focused on Song Jie’s fingers? So beautiful, wuwuwu.]
[Um, isn’t this inappropriate? I’m shy, how can you expose your sexual organs in front of me?]
[Sister upstairs, put on some clothes, the FBI will be here in three seconds.]
Dong Ling didn’t know what the comments had become, she took off her mask off-camera and started eating slowly.
She really didn’t have much of an appetite in the heat, and after eating about half, she stopped and watched Song Mingzhi eat quietly.
As for how to continue the game in the afternoon, Dong Ling wasn’t sure, she would just follow Song Mingzhi.
She took out her phone to watch Song Mingzhi’s live stream and was shocked by the comments.
[Report! 99% sure the miko sister is CEO Dong!]
[Back from the super topic, feeling lightheaded and flushed, I declare them a match made in heaven.]
[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh！ I can only express myself as a screaming marmot now!]
[Song Zhong sisters are awesome!!!]
[Honestly, as a career fan, I hate it when my idol is shipped with someone, but… this is too good, too good!]
Dong Ling immediately went to the super topic forum and saw the pinned post with the most likes and reposts.
A talented CP fan had taken a screenshot of her voice from just now and compared it with her previous video, the match was very high.
Dong Ling felt numb, sisters, are you guys forensic experts?
Dong Ling wanted to escape, but she couldn’t. Thinking of being watched all afternoon, Dong Ling became restless.
She thought for a moment and started spending money to clear the screen.
[Focus on Jiejie herself, can we not ship random CPs?]
The screen was silent for a second, then the comments exploded.
[??? Who are you calling random?]
[Do you have a problem with our CEO Dong?]
[You can defend your idol, but why are you dragging others down? Go die, CEO Dong is Song Jie’s boss, who are you?]
Dong Ling felt a pang of guilt, sorry, Wen Han.
Look at this hat, it’s so green and wide.
