Chapter 758: 757. The second episode is out!

What’s this now?

Tang Shu was stunned. It seemed that no matter whether it was ancient times or the modern era, there would always be scumbags who didn’t treat family as people. She had encountered quite a few at the Tang Sect Medicine Shop and hadn’t expected the same thing to happen in the highly developed modern world.

"So how was it resolved in the end?"

"This...."

Cheng Ranran’s little face puffed up, her big, round eyes swirling around rapidly, her face wearing an obvious look of guilt.

Tang Shu suddenly had a bad feeling, "What did you do?"

"She pinned someone’s husband to the ground and beat him up, then dragged the family member to the nurse’s station to forcefully pay up."

Ye Xiaohui, who knew the inside story, didn’t spare her childhood friend’s feelings and clarified everything, "Otherwise, what do you think the ’D’ on her internship report stood for?"

"..."

Tang Shu silently gave a thumbs up, "Well done."

This kind of direct, simple and brutal solution could only be done by the hot-tempered and justice-loving Cheng Ranran.

Without her roommate’s explanation, Tang Shu could guess the outcome of the incident. Whether an intern or a regular employee, someone who beats up a person is representing the hospital’s stance, and settling the matter would probably require someone influential from the hospital to step in.

It simply meant apologizing to the family member, then turning around and scolding the troublemaker Cheng Ranran. Although the other side was unreasonable, for a doctor to beat someone up... that was quite a serious issue.

"Hey~~~ I already know I was wrong, I’ve learned my lesson, and I’ll definitely not be so impulsive next time, for sure!"

"So what will you do if you encounter something like this again? How do you plan to solve it?"

"Um... pretend I didn’t see it?"

Cheng Ranran tentatively looked at the two of them and immediately received a double dose of disdainful "you think you could do that?" looks.

"So what am I supposed to do? It’s wrong to hit someone, but ignoring it isn’t right either, so what do you guys think I should do?"

Ye Xiaohui was exasperated, "Can’t you think a little? As a qualified netizen, was all the gossip and TV shows you watched for nothing?"

Cheng Ranran’s eyes lit up instantly, "Do it sneaky?"

"Of course, it’s always better to find someone off duty and beat them in a sack than beating someone in the hospital."

"Oh my~~~ Xiao Ye Zi, you’ve changed, you weren’t like this before ah ah ah ah ah, who corrupted you?!"

Cheng Ranran was shocked, okay? How could such words about sneaky attacks come from the mouth of her childhood friend, who was raised learning piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting?

The world has become fantastical!

Tang Shu also put down her textbook and, holding the now quiet Big Horse Monkey, stared at her.

She had said that there had been changes in Ye Xiaohui’s behavior recently. Initially, she thought she might have been too sensitive, but now it seemed real.

So what had been going on during this time that she had overlooked with her friend?

Feeling the curious gazes of the two, Ye Xiaohui’s heart wavered, "How have I changed? Don’t talk nonsense. I’m giving you advice, and you’re turning around and speaking ill of me?"

"There’s a situation!"

"Very unusual!"

The two below exchanged glances, capturing the guilt in the eyes of the person above, confirming something.

So...

In the following two days, Cheng Ranran and Tang Shu took on an additional task, which was to subtly observe what exactly had happened to their good friend.

Until Friday night, when the two of them saw Ye Xiaohui leaving the university gate and departing with a handsome young man.

"!!!"

"Awooo— I knew there was something up, Xiao Ye Zi, she, she, she’s in love!!!"

Who could it be? Which little punk was so bold to hit on her childhood friend and close buddy?!

Cheng Ranran clenched her fists tightly, her cheeks puffing up with anger, making her appear even more rounded.

Tang Shu: "...."

Tang Shu didn’t speak because she recognized that handsome figure.

"Ran Bao, you and Xiao Ye Zi have been childhood friends, right? You must know her family, don’t you?"

"Yeah, what about it?"

"Have you ever heard anything about Xiao Ye Zi’s family arranging a marriage for her?"

"Huh?"

Cheng Ranran blinked her big, black eyes in place and only after a while did she come to realize, "You’re not saying... that guy is Xiao Ye Zi’s so-called fiancé, are you?"

"It seems you do know there is such a thing."

Indeed, the figure that had flashed by just now was none other than Xie Yunzhen; Tang Shu had met him a few times before and could not have mistaken him.

"I know about it, but this kind of thing is just a joke, right? The two families haven’t really settled anything, it’s just something the elders mentioned casually. Plus, I heard from Aunt Ye that neither of them went to the arranged meeting when it was set up!"

Cheng Ranran was now completely confused. Could things really be this bizarre?

"Xiao Shushu, are you sure that guy is Xiao Ye Zi’s verbally agreed fiancé? How do you know?"

"I know him."

Tang Shu fidgeted with the textbook in her arms and simply recounted the tale of how the arranged date duo both avoided their meeting only to end up encountering each other in neighboring villas.

After she finished speaking, Cheng Ranran was utterly stunned.

"...."

"Hey, snap out of it."

"Awoo~~~ I’m gonna ship this couple to death!!!"

Cheng Ranran, a typical netizen, never imagined that she would encounter such a predestined event in real life, making her feel utterly overwhelmed.

Tang Shu’s mouth twitched, and she couldn’t help but remind her, "As far as I’m aware, you’re currently shipping seven or eight pairs; aren’t you tired?"

"Not tired at all! You just don’t understand the joy of us spectators—"

Alright, alright, you understand.

Tang Shu was silent for a moment, then she pulled on the back of Cheng Ranran’s collar and headed towards the dormitory.

A week flew by in the blink of an eye.

This Saturday, "Journey Together" was set to air again, and this time, everyone was looking forward to it!

"It’s starting, it’s starting, I’ve been waiting so long I’m wilting!"

"I’ve already rewatched the first episode five times, any challengers?"

"Sorry, I’ve watched both the domestic and international versions six times each, so please make way!"

"Does it feel like there are even more viewers than last time, or is it just me?"

"Of course not! Last time it was just me squatting in front of the TV, tonight it’s the whole family!"

Yes, there were more viewers for the second episode.

And with good reason. Since last Saturday, "Journey Together" had seen its online views soar, breaking eighty million in just one week and becoming incredibly popular.

That’s also why the short 30-second preview at the end of the first episode was even more anticipated. Those who had seen it couldn’t help but sit tight and wait for the next episode, with discussions about what would happen in the second episode raging online.

No matter what the netizens said, the Program Team’s official Weibo never revealed a thing, which frustrated everyone and sent their anticipation sky-high.

That night, at 8:30 PM, everyone tuned in to Central TV’s third and eighth channel, while the younger generation simply opened the video website, ready to follow the show and discuss the plot through live comments.

At Cloudscape Group’s office building, the lights were still bright in the business department handling the entertainment section.
