Chapter 417: 416. Whatever you say goes (third watch)

"I asked you guys whether you wanted a buzz cut or to keep your original hairstyle—"

At this moment, they replayed everyone’s reactions in the makeup room, when the stylist asked if they wanted buzz cuts, and everyone shook their heads to refuse.

Only Zhang Yilin’s eyes shone brightly: "Can I get one?!"

The playback ended.

[...]

[WTF, hahahaha~~ Looks like everyone got tricked!]

[What? You can do that?!]

[Pfft! Can the stylist be this capricious?! Coming up with new tricks—]

[Stylist: It’s you guys who didn’t want the buzz cuts—so wronged, wail~~~~]

[Hahahaha! Oh man, I’m dying of laughter, so maintaining the original hairstyle means this, now I finally understand why it ended up like this!]

[Stylist: You won’t let me change the length? No problem, I can change the layout!]

[It must be the Program Team’s fault, making the stylist take the blame, haha, this plot twist caught us off guard.]

[Being this sassy, hhhhhhhh—]

[What’s this Zhang Yilin got? In our hometown dialect, we call it ’a fool’s luck’—]

[A fool’s luck +1]

The netizens burst into laughter, the viewers in front of the TV burst into laughter, and even the Station Master backstage was made to burst into laughter!

"Well done, you guys, this creativity caught us by surprise!"

What’s the highlight?

It’s the timely plot reversal.

"Thank you for the compliments, thank you so much!"

The people to his left and right glanced at each other, then looked at the computer to one side, and the staff immediately reported the ratings.

"Station Master, Director, we’re at 3.5 now, up by 0.5 from just now!"

This was a timely highlight!

"Not bad, not bad, this start has exploded, 3.5 has reached the average level of other episodes already."

The Station Master was very pleased, and the two directors on his sides showed another meaningful smile.

At this moment, Zhang Yilin, who was unusually free from work, sat on his home sofa to catch up on the show.

When it played to this segment, he cheekily called his agent.

"How about it, how about it, I didn’t ruin my character setting this time, did I?!"

Look at what everyone else turned into, while he looked stunningly cool!

He had become the most dashing kid in the whole detective family!

On the other end of the phone, the agent was currently staring at all sorts of online comments, with a weird expression on his face.

"Are you sure you didn’t ruin your character setting?"

"Of course not! I even pulled off a buzz cut, the only guest not messed up by the stylist, my character setting is solid!"

"..."

"What’s up, you haven’t said a word? Is it that hard to compliment me?"

Finally unable to hold back, the agent sent a screenshot to his WeChat.

"Better see for yourself."

A picture is worth a thousand words.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yilin opened WeChat with a puzzled face and found that his agent had sent several screenshots in succession.

The first few were of the on-screen comments during the variety show, while the rest were comments under his own Weibo posts.

They all had one thing in common, that was, they were all screen filled with one phrase.

[A fool’s luck]

He: "???"

Do you guys have any manners?

The show continued.

After the male guests changed their outfits, it was time for the three female guests to come out.

When the rustic ladies appeared on screen, their heads full of braided pigtails, the other male guests and netizens burst into laughter again.

[I knew it, I knew it!]

[I guessed right, there’s an Easter egg here too, ahahahaha!]

[How can we let the male guests have all the beauty? Time to get the female guests rolling too!]

[It’s flashy, but....I like it!]

[The stylist is telling you, this is braided pigtails! Here you go, the braided pigtails you asked for——]

[The Program Team really outdid themselves this time, such full of creativity!]

[Ahahahah——Tang Shu is out, huh? Why does she seem different from the other two?]

[Definitely different, Chen Xin and Xiao Yu are adorably clueless, looking very hilarious, but Tang Shu had to go all cool, changing the vibe completely.]

[I’m telling you, Tang Shu is like a lady of nobility mixed in with the country girls; in a special era, she would have been caught as a spy—]

[As expected of you, Shen Siyi!]

[As expected of you, Shen Siyi+1]

...

"This one is clearly not a serious country girl, pffthahahaha——"

As one of the guests blurted out this quip, the netizens also began to crack up.

[The unserious country girl, these few words are going to kill me with laughter.]

[Hahahaha, indeed, ’unserious’ is just right, the stylist is mighty!]

After their banter, the netizens finally remembered something.

[On the male guest’s side, Zhang Yilin stands out by himself, and on the female’s side, Tang Shu has gone viral, hahahaha——]

[Don’t you feel like you’ve seen this scene before?]

[Hey! Now that you mention it, it does seem familiar...]

[Holy shit, isn’t this just like "Happy Together"? I knew putting those two together was a recipe for disaster!]

[Zhang Yilin and Tang Shu! Why does it always turn out unexpectedly when these two get together?]

[Gotta admit, our Xiao Linzi always turns into a simpleton whenever he’s with Tang Shu, hhhhhh~~~]

[Even though Xiao Linzi is the most dashing lad today, somehow he seems adorably foolish, emmmm~~~]

[Confirmed, Tang Shu is the only way to make Xiao Linzi lose character.]

Inside Palm Pavilion, Tang Shu had no idea she was once again shouldering the blame for Zhang Yilin.

Su Xiaochi glanced at the television, then at the perpetrator munching on sunflower seeds on the sofa, and marveled.

"Do you know what you’re called?"

"What?"

"This is called having no acting skills!"

Everyone else acts so convincingly, but you? You’ve successfully thrown the outfit off course!

Tang Shu: "..."

To say an actor has no acting skills? That feels like a personal dig.

Tang Shu’s aura is not something that can be subdued in an instant, it’s indeed different from the others.

*

"Fine, I admit it, I’m the undercover."

In the show, when Tang Shu said this line with all seriousness, whether it was the other guests in the video or all the viewers outside the video, everyone thought she was joking.

[Serious Shu, feels like a cold joke, hahahaha!]

[Dude, let’s not joke anymore, really, you’re not cut out for it!]

[I swear, this is the least undercover-looking poor girl I’ve ever seen, hhhhhhhhh~~~]

[She’s so cute, so endearing, is she for real???]

[Got it, you’re the undercover, you’re the undercover; whatever you say goes.]

[Clearly lacking any sense of variety-show vibes, yet somehow manages to hit everyone’s cute spot every time, emmmmm~~~~]

[This newbie’s pretty interesting, what a contrast cutie!]

The show went on, and the first game began after the teams were formed.

Unknowingly, Zhang Yilin ended up teaming up with Tang Shu again, provoking the netizens’ "I knew it would be like this" kind of comments.

Later on, combined with Chen Xin’s jealous antics, they garnered another wave of sighs from the viewers.

[Xiao Linzi is so adorable, feeling jealous over a girl, how impressive!]
