Chapter 35: It Doesn’t Matter Even If Sister Is Last
Shi Ran returned to the villa.
As soon as she stepped in, Director Wang immediately welcomed her.
“You’re back.” Director Wang smiled awkwardly and carefully glanced at Shi Ran.
Shi Ran stopped in her tracks and looked at Director Wang with her dark brown eyes without saying anything.
Director Wang scratched his head awkwardly. “We were late today. Fortunately, you weren’t injured.”
‘Late?’
She raised her eyebrows.
Everyone knew the truth of the matter.
“That’s not what you wanted to talk to me about, is it?” Shi Ran said.
Director Wang, who had been exposed, looked embarrassed, but after some thought, he still asked, “Do you know Third Young Master?”
“No, I don’t,” Shi Ran said and went into the living room.
Everyone was sitting in a circle in the living room.
Zuo Yifei looked at the clock for the eighteenth time. “Why isn’t Shi Ran back yet? Does it take so long to make a statement?”
He lay on the lazy sofa that he had been leaning against during the day. The image of the beautiful and lazy woman in the alley flashed through his mind, as well as the defeated opponents who were like her accessories.
Bang! Bang!
Zuo Yifei touched his chest and felt it beating even faster.
“Are you waiting for her?” Gu Jia teased.
He nodded without hesitation. “I watched the recording this afternoon. She’s so cool. How the hell did she make every move so accurately! Did you guys watch it?”
“I did,” Gu Jia said.
Surely, she thought, anyone would be touched by a Shi Ran like that.
Thinking of that, she turned to look at Bai Jingtian, who was not far away.
Bai Jingtian was sitting on the sofa in a white shirt.
His head was lowered and seemed to be deep in thoughts. With his handsome face, he looked otherworldly.
Then, she looked at Zhou Yufan on the other side.
Shi Ran’s current fiancé had been silent since he returned in the afternoon.
Presumably, he was the one with the most complicated thoughts now.
As if sensing the other party’s gaze, Zhou Yufan looked up and met Gu Jia’s probing gaze.
The next second, he looked away.
Zhou Yufan looked at the empty night outside the door, and his mind was filled with images of Shi Ran fighting those people.
He had to admit that the moment was startlingly beautiful.
However, when did Shi Ran learn all this?
‘Da-da.’
The click of heels on the floor grew closer.
Zuo Yifei looked towards the door, and the others also looked over.
However, when Wenfei, who was dressed in a white dress, entered their line of sight, everyone looked visibly disappointed.
“Why is everyone here?” Shi Wenfei walked in with a smile and sat down beside Zhou Yufan.
Looking at Shi Wenfei’s side profile, Zhou Yufan remembered that Shi Wenfei had not been in the villa all afternoon.
“Where did you go in the afternoon?” Zhou Yufan asked gently.
“I was live streaming. Because I really couldn’t think of anything to broadcast, I simply went to the piano store.” Shi Wenfei smiled sweetly.
She looked around and saw that Shi Ran wasn’t there. She pretended to ask casually, “Where’s Sister? She’s not back yet?”
“Yes.” Zhou Yufan nodded, his expression unreadable.
“Sigh-” Shi Wenfei sighed. “I don’t think Sister’s live stream statistics are very good this afternoon. Is it too sad for her?”
When this was said, everyone’s expressions were a little subtle.
“Didn’t you read the bullet screen this afternoon?” Zuo asked.
They only knew that something bad had almost happened to Shi Ran after reading the comments. There was no reason for Shi Wenfei’s comments section to be so quiet, right?
Shi Wenfei was puzzled. “I was basically playing the piano for the whole afternoon and didn’t interact much with the comments, so I lost a lot of statistics later.”
Shi Wenfei was still confused about the last part.
Her statistics of her livestream was initially very good, but for some reason, it plummeted later on.
Fortunately, the competition only used the highest data for that day’s live broadcast.
“This afternoon…” Yu Zixi was about to tell Shi Wenfei about the afternoon, but when she looked up, she was speechless.
The figure of Shi Ran appeared in the living room.
Zuo Yifei immediately stood up and walked forward. “You’re back. How are you? Are you tired?”
“I’m not tired.” Shi Ran shook her head. “I’ll go up and take a shower first. I’ll come down and cook with everyone later.”
Shi Wenfei watched the exchange suspiciously.
Was it her imagination? Why was everyone paying attention to her when she came in?
After taking a shower, she lay comfortably in bed.
“The rankings of today’s live broadcast will be announced in five minutes. Everyone, please return to your rooms and check through the cell phone issued by the program team.”
Director Wang’s voice resounded throughout the villa through the sound system.
Shi Ran opened the cell phone distributed by the program team and saw an additional column of live broadcast statistics ranking.
She tossed the phone aside, covered herself with the blanket, and yawned sleepily.
Compared to Shi Ran’s nonchalant attitude, Shi Wenfei was excited and expectant.
She held the production team’s phone and kept refreshing the data messages, waiting to see them immediately.
If they took the highest value of her statistics, she would definitely rank in the top three.
As for Shi Ran…
Shi Wenfei gloated.
She had seen Shi Ran’s statistics. That bitch had only two views.
With such lousy statistics, the first to be eliminated would definitely be Shi Ran.
At the thought of that, Shi Wenfei looked forward to the results even more.
Five minutes passed. Shi Wenfei refreshed and the statistics popped up.
As the program team wanted to play with suspense, the rankings were revealed one by one.
First to be revealed was the third place. Shi Wenfei saw her name.
Her eyes lit up and she smiled with satisfaction.
After that, the fourth through seventh places were revealed.
Shi Wenfei kept her eyes glued to the rankings.
As expected, there was no mention of Shi Ran.
Now, only the first and eighth places were left. One was Yu Ziqian, and the other was Shi Ran.
She frowned.
Yu Ziqian was actually first place?!
She was indignant, but fortunately, Shi Ran being in last place made her feel much better.
The first and eighth places were not announced. The program team announced that it would be revealed after dinner, leaving everyone hanging.
Shi Wenfei came into the living room. The others were already there, helping in the kitchen and cooking.
“Turn on the live broadcast,” Director Wang immediately instructed.
“But aren’t the first and eighth places going to be announced later?” the clerk asked, puzzled.
“Does the first place still need to be kept in suspense?” Director Wang rolled his eyes.
The live stream was turned on.
[I’m in! I’m in! Where’s my Master Ran??]
[Master Ran is actually in the kitchen. Is she cooking? I’d be so happy to be able to eat Master Ran’s food!]
[So beautiful! Why didn’t I realize my Master Ran was so beautiful before!]
[Are the bullet screen comments crazy? Do you need me to tell you about the disgusting things Shi Ran has done in the past?]
[You keep calling her Master Ran. How disgusting.]
Shi Wenfei walked to Shi Ran, who was selecting vegetables. “Sister, the first and eighth places will be announced later. Are you nervous?”
Shi Ran glanced at her but said nothing.
Seeing this, Shi Wenfei thought that Shi Ran was depressed because she knew that she was last.
She stepped forward, her face full of concern. “It doesn’t matter even if Sister gets the last place. This is only the first day. After that, I’ll help Sister!”
“Last?” Shi Ran forced a smile.
Shi Wenfei seemed to realize what she’d said and sighed.
“I watched Sister’s live-stream this afternoon. There are only two people. Why don’t I bring Sister along for the next live-stream! How about helping Sister attract attention?”
Everyone turned to look at Shi Wenfei with subtle expressions.
