Chapter 179: Chapter 179 Like a Seaweed Seaweed Seaweed Seaweed

The tough game level was behind us, and next up was the situational imitation show.

Since the movie had yet to be released, all the imitated shows were picked from the trailer, including He Jinxia’s iconic scene where he furiously flipped the bird towards the sky!

This scene was selected by Xiiaoxiiao, and she would be imitating Chen Xiaohui in this segment.

After the intermission ended, the recording of the show commenced, and the Xiiaoxiiao that appeared before everyone had changed her look completely.

She was wearing a wig, donned in bulky work attire, stuffed excessively with cotton on her upper body, and similarly filled with cotton on the lower half, wore oversized high heels that dragged on the ground as she walked, unsteady and comical.

When this outfit was unveiled, it immediately caused the entire audience to burst into laughter.

Zhang Zhihuan specifically walked up to Xiiaoxiiao, picked cotton that had accidentally spilled from the edge of her collar with his hand, and curiously asked while staring at the cotton, "What is this?"

Xiiaoxiiao snatched the cotton back fiercely and stuffed it back into her clothes with great vigor, then shook her long hair and flipped it, saying provocatively, "This is my body enlarger cotton ball!"

"Body enlarger cotton ball?" Teacher Zhang curiously poked Xiiaoxiiao’s garment, which indented immediately upon his touch.

"Never mind whether it enlarges the body or not, this prop has definitely made you all soft," Zhang Zhihuan said seriously.

The spark in Xiiaoxiiao’s eyes shone, and striking a pose, she again flicked her long hair and confidently stated, "I am a soft chubby!"

The demonic BGM suddenly started playing, and everyone spontaneously began dancing to the music—

"Like seaweed seaweed seaweed seaweed, swaying with the wind~seaweed seaweed seaweed seaweed, dancing in the waves, seaweed seaweed..."

He Jinxia couldn’t help but join in the melody, extending and retracting his neck, almost turning the seaweed dance into a neck-twisting dance, all because the lead dancer Xiiaoxiiao could only do the neck twist back and forth.

"Endless seas, oh so vast~ Drifting with the waves, again sinking and floating~ Life is but a dream, oh so dear~ Where are you, my love..."

As the music ended, everyone instantly struck a final pose, and Xiiaoxiiao jumped on Wu Daxi.

Wu Daxi, caught off guard, held onto her in a princess carry, but the panic on his face at that moment was evident to all.

Zhang Zhihuan laughed and said, "Xiiaoxiiao, you really scared Daxi! He thought you were going to crush him with your chubbiness!"

Xiiaoxiiao got down from Wu Daxi, flicked her hair again, and squinting her eyes, said, "Nonsense, I am a lightweight chubby, I won’t crush anyone."

The competition began with a bang, even more laugh-filled than the previous round.

He Jinxia’s acting shined on the spot, having no problem whether playing Chen Xiaohui or cross-dressing as the venomous boss Sun Zhiying.

Song Zilin also had her moments in this segment, and after strict comparison, she was on par with Li Li, who had very few scenes in this segment, even fewer than in the previous one.

Time flew by, and suddenly it was time for the last segment of "Today’s Hot News"—the talent show.

Xiiaoxiiao and Zhang Zhihuan fully utilized their comedic talent, one cross-dressing as a man to perform talents, the other as a woman to dance.

It must be said, Zhang Zhihuan’s baby face was really an advantage. Dressed in a skirt, with lipstick and a wig, a strong "womanly scent" was immediately noticeable.

As for Deng Xiiaoxiiao?

A true man’s man, no need to elaborate.

Wu Daxi had put on a spectacularly hot street dance performance with He Jinxia. Their outfits created a pink, festive atmosphere, but their interaction didn’t quite match up.

Song Zilin danced with Li Li. Song Zilin had no intention of stealing the spotlight from Li Li. Li Li could fight for the center position if she wanted; Song Zilin was clear-headed about whether their dance would even be broadcast.

As everyone finished showcasing their talents, the program "Today’s Hot News" gradually came to an end. After Zhang Zhihuan and Deng Xiiaoxiiao finished speaking, the three-hour variety show came to a perfect close.

The audience left, and by the time the stars had changed and touched up their makeup, it was already 7 p.m.

Someone knocked on the door of the resting room. Zhang Zhihuan opened the door and came in, inviting Dong Qiin and the others for dinner.

Deng Xiiaoxiiao rushed over later, showing particular enthusiasm towards He Jinxia and insisting on treating her to dinner, opting for the local delicacy of hotpot.

Dong Qiin, as a movie director with a special status, hadn’t participated in recording the program. Her presence was driven by concern for the production team, fearing that they might make mistakes during recording. She had been in the audience, supervising.

Since Zhang Zhihuan’s invitation was extended to the whole film crew, and as the director was the highest-ranking individual, everyone turned to Dong Qiin for a decision.

If Dong Qiin said they should go, they would go.

If Dong Qiin said not to go, even if they wanted to, they’d have to hold back and not go.

Dong Qiin pondered for a moment, smiled faintly, and said, "Dining together sounds great. We have long been looking forward to Huadu’s cuisine. Thank you, Teacher Zhang."

Zhang Zhihuan shook his head, "Director Dong, you’re too polite. It’s no trouble at all. Today made everyone wait for so long, and it wasted everyone’s time."

The two exchanged a few more courteous words, then went off to a restaurant for a meal.

That’s how it is in the entertainment circle, favors coming and going. People in the circle always strive to maintain good relationships with everyone, and even if not that, they at least try not to offend, especially those successful stars who hold higher positions.

At the restaurant, everyone enjoyed eating and drinking, serving up hotpot, beer, barbecue, and seafood in abundance.

He Jinxia doesn’t drink alcohol, so she ordered a juice, which piqued Deng Xiiaoxiiao’s curiosity, who asked, "Are you not drinking beer to maintain your figure?"

Before she could speak, Li Li who sat on the other side, quickly responded with a smile, "Yes, Sister Xiao Xiao, Jinxia is very strict about managing her figure. She doesn’t touch a drop of alcohol when she’s out!"

He Jinxia glanced at Li Li and smiled faintly, "Yes, Sister Xiao Xiao, I don’t drink alcohol, not even at home."

Saying she doesn’t drink was not true, for in ancient times, she used to down fine aged Daughter brew or Huang Shao almost daily. Initially, she’d vomit from drinking, but later, no matter how much she drank, her body suffered no ill effects.

But now in modern times, the rules are different than in ancient times, and since she had chosen not to pursue a smooth and sly path, she preferred to do as she pleased, and not drink if she didn’t want to.

Plus, not drinking in the entertainment circle is a good thing.

Alcohol can numb the brain, cloud one’s sense, and touching it often leads to trouble.

Deng Xiiaoxiiao, seemingly enlightened, sighed deeply and said, "I finally understand why I can’t lose those ten extra pounds on my body; every time I go out to eat, I have to drink, and it’s always beer!"
