Chapter 78 Newcomer "Does this person have a system jammer on them?"...

This episode of "Classmates Are Here" was filmed in an ancient town with beautiful green hills and clear waters.

The main live stream will start at 8 PM.

The camera guides viewers through the beautiful scenery of the ancient town.

I want to see the guests!

[Curious about Yuan Kai's classmates! Curious about the new group of celebrity guests and classmates!]

I heard it's Qu Zhe!

[If it weren't for Wu Xia, he would have come in the first round.]

【We, Xiaxia, haven't offended anyone!】

Stop pretending to be innocent! Wu Xia just snatched Zhe Zhe's role!

[Huh? Qu Zhe is the second male lead in a hit drama, right? Wu Xia managed to get the role?]

Wu Xia's fans were also very upset to see this.

Two days ago, a TV series was officially announced. When they saw that the second male lead tagged Wu Xia, they were happily celebrating that Wu Xia's appearance on the variety show hadn't been in vain. However, the comment section was then flooded with Qu Zhe's fans.

These fans keep saying that Wu Xia snatched the role from Qu Zhe.

If Wu Xia had this ability, would she still be blacklisted by her agency and not given any acting opportunities?!

Ye Hantao scrolled through the live stream and saw the comments, so she went online to search for something.

Before the drama was officially announced and trended on social media, Wu Xia hadn't mentioned it either. She only found out today that Wu Xia had landed a role as the second male lead in a modern idol drama.

According to the plot summary, the second male lead is a singer who is struggling in pursuit of his dreams.

Ye Hantao recalled Wu Xia's voice and tone when singing "The Song of Getting Rich," and felt that the role was quite suitable for Wu Xia.

The system's storyline didn't mention Wu Xia's career; it only stated that Su Yi'ang retired less than two months after finishing the World Cup...

Retirement?!

Ye Hantao sat up straight.

Although the current reality has proven the plot to be unbelievable, some developments still align, such as the ancient town chosen for this episode's recording, which is consistent with the storyline.

Ang ang...

Will he retire in a few more months?

Knock knock knock.

A knock on the door interrupted Ye Hantao's reverie.

Ye Hantao went over and opened the door.

"Xiao He?"

"Hehe, I've brought you a drink."

Xiaohe was holding two bottles of mineral water and a plate of fruit slices.

As soon as she entered the house, she whispered gossipingly, "I saw Yuan Kai's classmates next door!"

Ye Hantao stayed at the mountain guesthouse provided by the production team early in the morning.

This was suggested by Director Wan to generate discussion, allowing Ye Hantao to leave only after all the other guests had gathered.

Gu Fanghao appeared one position before Ye Hantao, and the person before that was the classmate Yuan Kai had invited.

Looking at Xiao He's expression, Ye Hantao said confidently, "You know her."

Xiao He nodded like a chick pecking at rice, “Ren Lang, Aurelia’s only Chinese creative director.”

Ren Lang is not the only Chinese executive in a high-end luxury group, but only he is able to attend Aurelia's fashion show every year, earning him the title of a fashion world king.

Ye Hantao's eyelashes trembled slightly.

She was very familiar with the brand Aurelia.

I used my college roommate's Aurelia foundation back then; a small bottle cost 360 yuan.

She later checked online and found out that this brand of cosmetics was already one of its more affordable products.

Clothes and bags, for example, are worth six or seven figures.

But compared to Aurelia, Ye Hantao was also very familiar with Ren Lang's name.

Midway through the story, Liao Jiayue is framed by her colleagues and gets caught up in the scandal of wearing counterfeit haute couture.

They couldn't borrow any gowns from international big names for the red carpet at a very important film festival.

Everyone was waiting to see Liao Jiayue make a fool of herself.

Under the watchful eyes of viewers across the internet, Liao Jiayue shone brightly on the red carpet in a stunningly designed gown.

She not only made a name for herself in the fashion world, but also brought designers into the public eye.

The designer's name is Ren Lang.

Ye Hantao only remembered that the book said he left a luxury goods group to create his own brand, so the luxury goods group in the story is Aurelia?

Later, Ren Lang's brand entered the international market and became a renowned luxury brand.

Liao Jiayue has become the brand's first and only global brand ambassador.

Ren Lang has said on camera more than once that Liao Jiayue is his muse.

In the live broadcast room, the guests gathered one by one.

Wu Xia, Su Yi'ang, Jin Shiyue, He Qiang, Chen Xiaofeng, Cheng Zhao, and Yuan Kai appeared one after another in the courtyard of the guesthouse.

Their suitcases were placed on the table, and this time Director Wan decided not to allow the staff to help move them.

The staff were very disappointed, as they had missed a chance to earn red envelopes!

Su Yi'ang spotted the folded box on Cheng Zhao's desk and exclaimed, "Cheng Zhao, you bought POL desserts?!"

He's liked POL desserts ever since Tao Tao brought them to the base.

"I only got one piece that time! Later, I couldn't get any when I went to buy more."

Someone gave me a ride.

"Give it to you?! You think I'd give away something I queued up to grab?!"

"Give me the whole box to eat."

Su Yi'ang shut his mouth.

He shut up, but Cheng Zhao didn't. "We shared the whole piece. It had matcha mousse inside, POL's signature cake. Have you ever tried their matcha mousse? You can try it next time."

Cheng Zhao, unusually talkative, said, "If you can't get it yourself, see if anyone can give it to you."

Su Yi'ang: "..."

He's shut up!

Chen Xiaofeng covered his cheek, "Stop showing off your cake! You've been showing it off the whole way!"

Cheng Zhao glanced at him sideways, "I know no one's giving you a ride, don't be envious."

[I bet it was a gift from Ye Hantao, hahaha.]

[Cheng Zhao just put the cake box on the table and waited for everyone to ask, right?!]

Of course!

[Could they announce their relationship before the show even finishes airing?]

Why is Liao Jiayue absent?! Doesn't Ye Hantao have any other celebrity classmates?! I want to see Ye Hantao!!!

[Waaaaah, I want to see more +1]

[@The production team of "Classmates Are Here"—Ye Hantao has almost 8 million followers and has filmed commercials, so she's practically a celebrity, right? Inviting her is definitely a good idea!]

[This is your class monitor!!!!]

Night was just beginning to fall.

The first few people who had gathered chatted briefly, and Yuan Kai was the first to applaud and invite his classmates to come forward.

He appeared relaxed and excited, determined to erase the negative impact Ji Changtu had brought him.

Ye Hantao saw a tall, thin man walk out, wearing a tight sleeveless shirt and wide-leg suit pants that almost dragged on the ground, making the small courtyard look like a runway.

Ye Hantao was still recalling the plot when Xiaohe suddenly explained, "He was also Jin Shiyue's mentor."

Sister Shiyue?

"He has a relationship with Sister Shiyue?!"

"That's quite something! You probably don't usually like reading fashion gossip."

Xiaohe: "It is said that he personally discovered Jin Shiyue from China and used a lot of connections and resources to make Jin Shiyue an international supermodel."

“Kim Si-wol did make a name for himself in the fashion world a few years ago with his Aurelia show,” Xiao He said. “However, Ren Lang was not Aurelia’s creative director at that time, and Kim Si-wol’s fans believe that this claim is questionable.”

Ye Hantao looked at Jin Shiyue in the courtyard.

The usually arrogant Shi Yue suddenly froze when she saw Ren Lang.

She could see the astonishment in Shi Yue's eyes even through the screen.

The live stream chat exploded with comments.

[Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Ren Lang!!!]

[Yuan Kai has such connections!!!]

Who is this person?

[Aurelia's creative director! To put it simply, Aurelia was only able to maintain its status as a top luxury brand thanks to Ren Lang's rescue a couple of years ago!]

Ren Lang also officially became Aurelia's creative director around that time, and has remained so ever since!

The last time I saw Ren Lang was at the Aurelia fashion show! I only watched it because I'm a fan of his!

[Waaaaah, I wish my idol were here!]

If you really cultivate a good relationship with Ren Lang, your fashion resources will be secure. Just look at all the top international celebrities he's photographed with.

Speaking of top international celebrities, I've heard from rumors that he was Kintoki's mentor when he entered the industry.

[I've heard this gossip too! Later, for some unknown reason, the two broke up. When foreign media interviewed Kim Shi-wol about her relationship with Ren Lang, Kim Shi-wol immediately turned sour.]

[Look at the bottom left; Jin Shiyue's face has darkened.]

Chen Xiaofeng was sitting next to Jin Shiyue and could clearly feel the cold air coming from Jin Shiyue's direction, so cold that he wanted to hide near Cheng Zhao.

Unfortunately, the chair between him and Cheng Zhao was empty; it was reserved for Ye Hantao.

"What's going on? You two know each other?"

"Are you blind?!"

The audience, hearing the microphone's precise sound pickup: 【!!】

There was definitely something fishy going on!

Chen Xiaofeng felt very wronged.

What did he say? He just asked if we knew each other; it wasn't like he was joking about old flames meeting.

Ren Langchao nodded slightly to everyone present and gave a brief greeting before turning to Jin Shiyue, his husky voice revealing obvious gentleness, "Ruby, we meet again."

“My English name is Aurora.” Jin Shiyue showed him no mercy and said sarcastically, “If you’re not good at it, just memorize it a few more times.”

Ren Lang simply smiled indulgently at the mockery, "Alright, Aurora."

Yuan Kai's gaze lingered between the two men, his expression impassive, but he already understood why Ren Lang had approached him.

He truly hadn't expected that Ren Lang and Jin Shiyue would have any connection.

At this moment, Director Wan spoke again, "Next, please welcome our new student! Gu Fang!"

Gu Fanghao had been secretly cheering backstage for a long time, and when she heard Director Wan call her name, she took a deep breath.

The next moment, all the viewers in the live stream saw a petite girl running out of the guesthouse.

Round face, straight bangs, and big eyes underneath.

She's quite good-looking, but her face is unfamiliar.

[Gu Fanghao? Who is this person?]

[Just a regular classmate.]

【No way!!! I looked it up online, she's an actor!!!】

【ah? ? ? ? ? 】

[Did anyone watch "The Great Song Dynasty Coroner," which aired last month? She had a role in it!]

[Impossible! I rewatched it twice, and she's not there! Are you guys face-blind?]

She was the maid of the older sister of the female lead's younger brother's classmate.

[...What's the difference between this and an ordinary person?]

Why did the production team invite her?! Which company's little princess is she?!

[She's such a princess, how can she play so many maids?]

Ye Hantao had already reached the entrance of the guesthouse and was peeking out when she bumped into Cheng Zhao, who was looking in her direction.

Cheng Zhao gestured to the empty seat next to him.

Ye Hantao was afraid that others would notice him, so she quickly gave him an OK sign, telling him to turn back and not look this way.

Cheng Zhao did not turn around.

Gu Fanghao was also in that direction, so how could the audience know where he was looking?

However, Cheng Zhao's barely suppressed smile made it impossible for viewers to ignore.

Who are you laughing at?!

A man who is fickle!

Please, don't interpret everything as romantic love!

After introducing himself to everyone, Gu Fanghao bowed deeply and shouted with all his might, "Please give me your guidance, seniors!!!"

"I knew you looked familiar!" Su Yi'ang exclaimed, her eyes sparkling. "Didn't you act in 'The Great Song Dynasty Coroner'?"

Gu Fanghao was pleasantly surprised, "Yes!"

Su Yi'ang was even happier, "Isn't her name Cuihe!"

That's a green willow.

Ye Hantao answered silently in her heart.

Even before she and Gu Fanghao hit it off, she had already watched the TV shows Gu Fanghao had made online.

In "The Great Song Dynasty Coroner", Gu Fanghao is the maid of the older sister of the female lead's younger brother's classmate. She helped the young lady pick a kite from the willow tree, which led to the first meeting between the female supporting character and the male lead.

Gu Fanghao's voice came from afar, "Yes!"

Ye Hantao: "?"

Am I mistaken?! No, it really is Green Willow!

Su Yi'ang took on the role of ambassador to liven up the atmosphere, saying, "From now on, you can call me Ang'ang or Flash, what should we call you?"

He asked Gu Fanghao questions while reminiscing about Tao Tao.

If Tao Tao were here, she could definitely liven up the atmosphere with him!

Su Yi'ang couldn't help but think of Liao Jiayue's trending topic.

His first thought upon seeing the trending topic was that you can know a person's face but not their heart; Liao Jiayue actually let someone in her team frame Tao Tao's great-aunt.

Another thought was that he would never see Tao Tao on the show again!

Surrounded by cameras and watched by a group of seniors, Gu Fanghao was very nervous. "Everyone calls me Xiao Gu and Fanghao."

"Hello, Xiao Gu." Su Yi'ang gestured for her to sit down quickly. "Is your classmate next?"

Remembering Director Wan's instructions, Gu Fanghao controlled her expression and said, "Yes! You know this classmate of mine too."

Su Yi'ang's eyes widened. "I know him? Your classmate also plays e-sports?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Fanghao hesitated and said, "It has something to do with e-sports."

Su Yi'ang was deeply confused.

Gu Fanghao introduced himself as 19 years old, which is too young to be a coach in the e-sports industry...

There is one exception, though: Maze can be one.

Chen Xiaofeng crossed his legs, his hair tied in a bun at the back of his head jiggling. "I can vouch for you two, you do know each other."

Su Yi'ang: "Why can you testify?!"

Chen Xiaofeng grinned slyly, "You don't understand connections."

Just then, Director Wan, holding a megaphone, shouted at the top of his lungs, "Let's give a warm round of applause to the next student!!"

Su Yi'ang was still guessing who it would be and didn't respond immediately, but someone had already clapped loudly.

He looked in the direction of the sound and stared in disbelief.

Cheng Zhao is clapping?!

He then followed Cheng Zhao's gaze to the right—

"Tao Tao?!?"

Ye Hantao stopped not far away. A gust of evening breeze blew by, ruffling her skirt and hair.

She smoothed her hair, smiled shyly at everyone, and said, "Hello everyone, I'm back as your class monitor."

Others: "?!"

The audience: "?!?!"

【Ye Hantao?!】

【How could it be Ye Hantao?!】

[Didn't Liao Jiayue miss it all?!]

[Yes, so Ye Hantao is Gu Fanghao's classmate.]

【…I understand.】

[Damn! I underestimated how much the production team valued Ye Hantao!]

In an instant, the popularity of the live stream soared once again.

Many netizens who wanted to see Ye Hantao rushed in.

【Ahhhhhh, my fun is back!】

[TaoTao and the production team kept this from the fans for too long! They didn't tell them anything at all!!!]

[There's been a rumor, didn't someone say they saw Ye Hantao and Cheng Zhao holding hands and seemingly eloping at the train station? (dog head with rose in hand.jpg)]

Regardless, most viewers were pleasantly surprised to see Ye Hantao again.

Su Yi'ang and the others were also pleasantly surprised.

Chen Xiaofeng patted the empty seat between him and Cheng Zhao, "Tao Tao, come quick, we've saved a seat for you."

"What kind of seats are those?" Jin Shiyue finally snapped out of her silence. "If Tao Tao is going to sit, she should sit here."

Although she and He Qiang were classmates, they never got along, and there just happened to be an empty seat between them.

Cheng Zhao moved his lips slightly, "We made an appointment in advance."

Jin Shiyue: "???"

Ye Hantao acknowledged this, saying, "Cheng Zhao, Director Chen, and I came on the same train."

Chen Xiaofeng's face was expressionless.

No, he wasn't among the people who made the appointment in advance.

Ye Hantao had just received the guesthouse room brochure from the production team before coming out, and she walked towards Cheng Zhao with the brochure in her hand.

The passerby was Yuan Kai and Ren Lang, who were sitting near the direction of the guesthouse.

Suddenly, a crackling sound exploded in Ye Hantao's ear.

The sound was like the garbled text from the previous system.

[Sizzle]

[Suggestion for host... *sizzle*... bind to target... luck... *sizzle*...]

Ye Hantao rubbed her ears.

Cheng Zhao tilted his head and examined him for a few seconds. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Ye Hantao checked the progress of the illness again; it was still stuck at 29.6%, with no change.

What was that electronic sound just now?

Is the system displaying garbled characters again?

Bind target?

When did she ever have a target?

The bright white moon rises.

By the time we finished looking around the room, it was completely dark.

They gathered at 8 p.m. today, and after all that fuss, another hour or so had passed.

"We have six boys and four girls now," Ye Hantao said. "Shall we split into groups?"

Gu Fanghao immediately declared, "Tao Tao, I want to live with you!"

Jin Shiyue and He Qiang were not happy that their words had been taken away.

However, seeing how nervous Gu Fanghao was, practically clinging to Ye Hantao, they couldn't bring themselves to object.

Since everyone knew each other, the groups were quickly formed.

In all the episodes so far, it's rare to have an episode where everyone actually lives with their classmates.

The rest of the work was simply moving the luggage.

Cheng Zhao picked up his suitcase with one hand and went to find Ye Hantao, but unexpectedly, someone else got there first.

Ren Lang reached out to Ye Hantao's suitcase, his deep, husky voice saying, "It wouldn't be right to let the ladies carry it, so I'll help."

[Sizzle...]

Why is this garbled audio again?

Distracted, Ye Hantao hesitated for two seconds before refusing, "No need, thank you."

To her surprise, her suitcase was still stolen.

Ye Hantao followed the suitcase and looked up at the stairs.

Gu Fanghao, who was half a head shorter than her, carried a suitcase in each hand and took three steps at a time as she climbed the stairs.

She carried two suitcases, each weighing several dozen kilograms, with ease!

Gu Fanghao didn't even turn her head. "Tao Tao, don't move! Let me do it!!!"

The echo was still lingering, but the person had already vanished without a trace.

Ye Hantao quickly bypassed Ren Lang and ran upstairs, [sizzling sounds...]

"?"

Ye Hantao stopped.

He took two steps back on the steps, moving one step closer to Ren Lang.

She listened intently for a while as Cheng Zhao looked back at her.

[Sizzle... Host... Sizzle... Failure...]

Ye Hantao stepped up two steps, stopping halfway to tie her shoelaces. Cheng Zhao was waiting for her at the corner.

Ren Lang passed by.

[Sizzle... sizzle...]

Ye Hantao: "?"

Does this person have a system jammer on them?
