Chapter 83 Removal from the List: "Why are you laughing so happily?"

Chapter 83 Removal from the List: "Why are you laughing so happily?"

Ren Lang quickly rinsed the foam off his hair in Chen Xiaofeng and Cheng Zhao's bathroom.

He dared not delay.

I'm afraid the water heater will break down again.

As soon as Ren Lang returned to the bedroom, he saw Yuan Kai looking as if he wanted to stay a hundred miles away from him, as if he were avoiding a plague god.

An awkward silence filled the bedroom.

[Hahahaha, I can actually understand Yuan Kai's dodge!]

[People on foreign websites are already making fun of Ren Lang's series of unfortunate events.]

[Some people say that Ren Lang is unlucky because there are problems with our territory (picking nose.jpg). If they're really spouting these nonsense, then it's Ren Lang, who's been ostracized, who has problems.]

[Don't start a fight. Ren Lang had a really unlucky day. First, he got pooped on, then he got chopped cilantro and houttuynia cordata in his hot pot, and then he had to take a shower at night when the water and electricity were cut off.]

[The last two could be excuses from the show's pranks, but the bird poop was just too funny, hahaha.]

Yuan Kai realized his reaction was too much. He froze for half a second before a smile spread across his thin face. "I saw your hair was still wet, so I was just about to get you a hairdryer."

As he said this, Yuan Kai went into the bathroom and took down the hair dryer that was hanging there.

Although he has been focusing on serious dramas all these years, he actually wants to have the same level of popularity as Liao Jiayue.

High traffic means high pay.

Yuan Kai highly values ​​Ren Lang's status in the fashion industry, and being approached by Ren Lang this time is a surprise he never dared to dream of.

If Ren Lang intervenes, he is likely to attend international luxury brand fashion shows in the second half of the year.

If their relationship progresses further, Ren Lang might even be able to help him get an endorsement deal.

Yuan Kai handed the hair dryer to Ren Lang, and said with the same concerned tone as before, "Hurry up and dry your hair."

Ren Lang took the hair dryer, and when he lowered his head, an unconcealable anger flashed across his face, and the atmosphere around him seemed to drop to freezing point.

Thinking of Gu Fanghao, whom he had been forced to bind with, Ren Lang's fingers, gripping the hair dryer, turned pale.

Shit!

"Boom—"

A bolt of lightning flashed past the window.

By the light of the lightning, Yuan Kai noticed that Ren Lang's face was so dark it could drip water.

He sat back on his bed, thus subtly distancing himself from Ren Lang.

Although I really want to get closer to them, I'm also afraid that bad luck is contagious.

In the latter half of the night, a torrential downpour began in Fuzhou.

The ginkgo trees outside the courtyard swayed in the wind and rain, casting dark shadows.

Ye Hantao vaguely heard the rain hitting the window, pattering loudly.

I don't know how much time passed before the sound of rain subsided and then stopped.

At 7:30 in the morning, Ye Hantao turned over in bed to the sound of her phone alarm.

When I opened my eyes, the pain in my temples had subsided.

After hearing last night that Ren Lang had changed his target to Gu Fanghao, she wanted to quickly warn Gu Fanghao to be wary of Ren Lang.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I started to finish my prepared speech, it felt like I had been hit hard on the head with a club.

She nearly fainted in the bedroom.

Gu Fanghao was terrified.

Ye Hantao could only lie and say that she had low blood sugar again.

The room was dimly lit, while the bed next door was neatly made.

Ye Hantao slipped on her slippers, got out of bed, and drew back the curtains. The rain outside had stopped, and the leaden clouds were gloomy.

She glanced around the bathroom and saw no one there. It took her a moment to remember that yesterday, when they were drawing lots to make breakfast, Gu Fanghao had been chosen.

Besides Gu Fanghao, there's Chen Xiaofeng, Wu Xia... Ren Lang!

Ye Hantao quickly brushed her teeth, washed her face, changed into her outdoor clothes, and rushed downstairs.

Just as I reached the stairwell, I unexpectedly bumped into Cheng Zhao, who was coming upstairs.

He wore a gray sports headband, tucking his stray hairs behind him, which accentuated his thick, dark eyebrows.

This person must have just come back from a run; there were damp patches on the chest area of ​​their vest.

Cheng Zhao stopped in his tracks, and as Ye Hantao approached, he unexpectedly took a step back to create distance.

Ye Hantao: "?"

"Awake?" Cheng Zhao asked with a smile. "Did the thunder and rain last night wake you up?"

Ye Hantao didn't reply to him, but went straight to the point and asked, "Why are you backing away?"

Upon hearing this, a rare hint of embarrassment appeared between Cheng Zhao's brows. "I haven't gone back to my room to take a shower yet, and I'm afraid I'll smell bad."

Ye Hantao paused for a moment, her almond-shaped eyes curving slightly, and chuckled softly.

Cheng Zhao felt that spending time together was very useful, and right now, he could see that Tao Tao was genuinely amused by him.

"Why are you laughing so happily?"

"I often see you being sarcastic towards others." Ye Hantao's clear eyes still held a lingering smile. "Today, you're not even sparing yourself."

Without hesitation, Cheng Zhao replied, "I also have people who don't know how to speak—"

The last few words hovered in front of his lips, but he swallowed them and instead asked, "I just heard from Gu Fanghao that you had low blood sugar again last night?"

Ye Hantao nodded slightly.

Cheng Zhao hesitated and asked, "Did you start experiencing frequent low blood sugar after recording this variety show?"

He remembered that Tao Tao had mentioned having low blood sugar before, but later in their conversation, she mentioned that it happened during her university military training.

During the time he was recording the variety show, he knew of at least four times that he experienced hypoglycemia.

Ye Hantao: "Oh, right."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Hantao sensed that Cheng Zhao's mood had become somewhat low, and assumed that he was still worried about fainting at the hospital.

She stepped forward, stood on tiptoe, and patted Cheng Zhao on the shoulder. "Although I had low blood sugar a few times, my physique has become stronger."

The disease has progressed by 30%, and full recovery is just around the corner!

Cheng Zhao suddenly asked, "Have you really become stronger? How did you notice that?"

Despite asking the question, he scrutinized Ye Hantao's face, which was much more rosy than when they first met, and began to believe the description of her as strong, but he still clung to Ye Hantao's more affirmative answer.

Ye Hantao readily agreed, "I can hold a plank for one minute, the perfect standard!"

Cheng Zhao chuckled, "That's impressive." His tone was casual, but he was very serious when praising her.

After chatting with Cheng Zhao for a few minutes, Ye Hantao, who was thinking of Gu Fanghao, said, "Go back to your room and take a shower. I'll go downstairs and watch them make breakfast."

Cheng Zhao stepped aside. "The yard is slippery, be careful."

"Okay." Ye Hantao ran and skipped down the stairs.

Cheng Zhao watched her run away.

A moment later, he raised his hand and placed it on the shoulder that had been patted.

The guesthouse has a stove set up in the courtyard.

As soon as Ye Hantao pushed open the door, the damp air rushed over her.

The scallions in the vegetable garden were glistening from the rain, and the hibiscus flowers in the distance stretched out in large patches.

Ye Hantao quietly watched the few people busy in front of the stove.

Chen Xiaofeng and Wu Xia squatted on the ground washing vegetables, while Ren Lang chopped vegetables, and Fang Hao took charge of the pot in front of the stove.

As Ye Hantao got closer, she heard Chen Xiaofeng complaining, "I was woken up by Cheng Zhao at four o'clock this morning!"

Wu Xia listened but didn't respond.

Chen Xiaofeng didn't mind; he just wanted to confide in someone. "I don't know what kind of nightmare Cheng Zhao had, but he just sat on the edge of the bed without saying a word after waking up."

Ye Hantao stopped beside him.

“When he saw that I had been frightened awake, instead of reflecting on his actions,” Chen Xiaofeng said, shoving the lettuce into the water and washing it vigorously, “he even asked me if I had been getting sick more often since we met.”

Wu Xia then turned his head to look at him.

Chen Xiaofeng sneered, "Is that because I'm prone to illness? It's clearly because his words have given me heart-wrenching pain."

Ye Hantao then understood why Cheng Zhao had asked that question in the corridor.

What exactly did Cheng Zhao dream about last night?

On the other side, Ren Lang was chatting with Gu Fanghao, "You've been helping your family cook since you were little? That must have been very hard work."

The broadcast started promptly at 8:00 AM.

As soon as the viewers entered the live broadcast room, they saw Gu Fanghao and Ren Lang chatting.

Wow, who said Gu Fang was insecure? He's already built up a super-strong network of connections!

[Ye Hantao didn't get to make breakfast last night, right? Why is she here too?]

[Won't Ye Hantao feel threatened now that she's living with Gu Fanghao?]

[I declined Ren Lang's filming invitation yesterday, intending to set some conditions, but my classmate snatched it away?]

[What a huge mistake!]

Ren Lang also caught a glimpse of Ye Hantao's figure, his expression somber.

His system can detect the future fortune of those around him, making it very suitable for him to act as a redeemer and help them in the early stages. Kim Si-wol is one of his most successful experiments.

Because he had been bound to Jin Shiyue before, he was able to detect Jin Shiyue's negative emotions towards him before he arrived.

At that time, the gratitude value was -45%, while the threshold for rebinding was -50%.

He approached Yuan Kai to appear on the variety show "Classmates Are Here" in order to re-establish a connection with Jin Shiyue.

None of those people who were going through a low period could catch up with the future fortune of Jin Shiyue becoming stronger again.

But he met Ye Hantao on his first day on the show.

An ordinary college student from a family with modest means.

The system detected that the future fortune was golden.

Without hesitation, he bound the system to Ye Hantao.

Unexpectedly, before he could even collect interest from Ye Hantao, he had 5 points of luck deducted from his account.

Throughout the day, all sorts of bad luck came crashing down on him.

Ren Lang is terrified that he will have bad luck for the next month, so he plans to switch to binding Jin Shiyue.

Who would have thought that just two days after their reunion, Jin Shiyue's gratitude towards him would plummet to -70%!

Then look at the future fortunes of the other people around you.

The drab Yuan Kai, the dimly lit Wu Xia, and Cheng Zhao, Chen Xiaofeng, He Qiang, and Su Yi'ang, who far surpassed him in their careers.

Even if these four people are bound together, it's difficult to obtain a large amount of gratitude from them.

Ren Lang stood in the dark bathroom, his head covered in foam. After hesitating for a long time, he finally decided to change to a different style.

Once a target is bound, replacing it will come at a cost.

Half of his remaining 20 points of design talent were taken away by the system.

Now, even with these 10 points of design talent, he can't draw a simple design properly.

Ren Lang looked at Gu Fanghao again.

They had been talking for about ten minutes. Gu Fang was much more stable than Ye Hantao, at least she didn't have any negative emotions towards him for no reason.

Ren Lang placed the chopped scallions on the cutting board and looked at Gu Fanghao with an appreciative gaze, as if he had discovered a gem. "I thought you were very talented when I saw your acting before."

Gu Fanghao's face visibly showed joy.

"Really?!"

She lacks confidence in her acting career; the only reason she's persevered is because she's earned some money and her dream hasn't been shattered.

She heard a lot of praise while chatting with Tao Tao, even though Tao Tao was the same age as her.

She felt happy when praised by Tao Tao, and excited when praised by Ren Lang, feeling recognized by someone in the industry.

Ren Lang nodded. "Of course."

[Current gratitude level: 10%]

Ren Lang felt relieved. Once his gratitude value increased by another 10%, he would be able to link to Gu Fanghao's talent.

He couldn't find out about Gu Fanghao's talent at the moment, but even if it was bad, he could still acquire enough design talent before the next big show.

The system spoke again a second later: [Due to the associated target generating ≥10 gratitude towards the host, the host's luck for the next month: -3]

Ren Lang: "???"

Ye Hantao's -0.1% gratitude value deducted 5 points from his luck, so how could Gu Fanghao, with 10% gratitude value, not be able to defeat him?!

Ye Hantao froze in shock, her almond-shaped eyes wide open. She quickly picked up a carrot and pretended to look at it.

Oh my god.

Why can she still hear Ren Lang's system voice?!

Once Ye Hantao had calmed down and composed herself, she walked to Gu Fanghao's vicinity.

Gu Fanghao greeted her with a smile, "Tao Tao, you're awake so early? I made egg pancakes with diced ham in them."

[I have to admire him. He managed to steal the prize right in front of Ye Hantao and still greet her so naturally.]

You guys are such conspiracy theorists.

[Conspiracy theory? Ren Lang is just bored and greeting a newcomer like Gu Fanghao?]

I also feel that Gu Fanghao actively pursued him.

"Thank you for your hard work." Ye Hantao had already come all this way, so she couldn't just stand by and do nothing. "Is there anything I can help with?"

Gu Fanghao quickly shook his head, "Just fry some eggs and vegetables and it'll be all done, don't get your hands dirty."

Upon hearing this, Ye Hantao turned her gaze back to Ren Lang.

Ren Lang suddenly felt a pang of regret.

Ye Hantao is clearly afraid that he will give the resources to Gu Fanghao.

If he persists for two more days, he might be able to get some gratitude points from Ye Hantao.

Just as he was considering this possibility, he heard Ye Hantao ask, "Which drama did you like Fang Hao's performance in?"

[They're probably feeling a sense of crisis!]

[Yesterday people were saying they watched her ads, today they're saying they watched someone else perform!]

[...You guys are really good at making things up; maybe it's just pure curiosity.]

Why didn't Ye Hantao show up yesterday?

Ren Lang choked.

He did have a spare phone on him, and the production team returned all the phones that the guests had handed in last night, but he did not look up Gu Fanghao's information online.

Before he partnered with Jin Shiyue, he prepared over ten pages of related materials. Now that he is the creative director of Aurelia, any resource he provides would make Gu Fanghao extremely grateful, so there's no need for prior investigation.

Fortunately, his memory was still good. Ren Lang looked at Shang Gu Fanghao's expectant yet apprehensive gaze and said confidently, "Your performance in 'The Great Song Dynasty Coroner' was outstanding."

Gu Fanghao was extremely excited.

There are ten guests on the show, and with Tao Tao and Flash, this is the third person to have seen her performance.

Seeing Shang Gu Fanghao's expectant gaze, Ren Lang repeated everything Su Yi'ang had said when they first met: "I still remember your character in the movie was named Cuihe."

Gu Fanghao: "..."

[Current gratitude level: 7%]

Ren Lang: "???"

Are Cuihe and Cuiliu easily confused? Did Su Yi'ang get them wrong, and did Ren Lang get them wrong too?

What? Gu Fanghao's name in the game is Cui Liu? How did you guys know?!

[When I saw a celebrity I didn't recognize, I looked them up online.]

I actually admire them for knowing that Gu Fanghao had a role in "The Great Song Dynasty Coroner".

[How could Ren Lang remember a mere maidservant of a supporting female character?]

[Uh, I suspect he borrowed Su Yi'ang's words, which is why he said Cuihe.]

[Didn't Ren Lang once say that he rarely watches Chinese films and television dramas? "The Great Song Dynasty Coroner" is definitely not his usual style.]

[If Gu Fanghao had played a supporting female character, I could believe I would remember him, but he's just a maidservant to a supporting female character, and he only appears a few times...]

You guys don't want to say Ren Lang has impure motives, do you? Even if his motives were impure, it would still be Gu Fanghao!

The online comments were still arguing, and Ye Hantao spoke up again without giving them any face, "Fang Hao plays a character named Cui Liu in it."

Ren Lang's expression changed drastically.

Green Willow? When Su Yi'ang mentioned Green Lotus, Gu Fanghao didn't refute it either!

The morning sun had already broken through the clouds, and the dark clouds gradually dissipated.

Ye Hantao turned to Gu Fanghao and said, "He can't even remember your specific character name."

So you must never believe what he says!

[Disease progression: 27%]

Ye Hantao was stunned. Why was there a character feedback?

Immediately, she looked at Ren Lang, whose expression suggested that he hadn't heard her system message.

[...sowing discord.]

[I asked her why she was being curious and comparing herself to others. I wanted to tell Gu Fanghao that Ren Lang could remember the commercials she filmed, but not her roles.]

Isn't this normal? Gu Fanghao's character isn't the female lead or a supporting character.

Gu Fanghao didn't react in any other way; she was already used to people not remembering her anyway.

Only a minority can remember things like Tao Tao.

Ren Lang only panicked for two or three seconds before calmly saying, "I also remember it was Cui Liu, but yesterday I heard Flash say it was Cui He. Xiao Gu didn't refute it, so I thought I remembered it wrong."

"I...I..." Gu Fanghao stammered, "We just met, and I was too embarrassed to correct him."

Ren Lang adopted the attitude of an elder and gently comforted her, "This is not your fault. After all, you are a newcomer, and it is normal to be nervous and shy."

[Current gratitude level: 8%]

Ye Hantao listened to the fluctuating gratitude level and carefully observed Gu Fanghao's state.

However, she couldn't see anything wrong even after they finished breakfast.

Doesn't simply increasing gratitude have a negative impact on the bound target?

Ye Hantao was still worried.

Last night's system voice sounded like it had been bound to Sister Shiyue before. If there was no impact, why would Sister Shiyue's gratitude value drop to -70%?

So, when Teacher He Qiang and Sister Shi Yue were arguing about who would sit with her on the bus, Ye Hantao resolutely grabbed Gu Fanghao's hand.

"Senior sister, Sister Shiyue, I want to sit with Fang Hao."

"..."

Cheng Zhao, who was walking this way, stopped and looked up at Gu Fanghao.

How could your relationship develop so quickly after just one night together?

Gu Fanghao was led by the hand by Ye Hantao to sit down on the bus, feeling completely flattered.

She told Tao Tao last night that she was a little scared of Teacher He Qiang when doing tie-dye, so Tao Tao sat with her today.

Ye Hantao whispered, "Fang Hao, if you feel unwell on the way, be sure to tell me immediately."

Gu Fanghao's reply was firm and resolute, "Okay, thank you, Tao Tao." Tao Tao really cares about her, qaq.

"It's okay, I'm your class monitor." Ye Hantao felt a little guilty.

If it weren't for her, Ren Lang wouldn't have chosen Fang Hao.

Not long after the bus started moving, Gu Fanghao rubbed his arms.

Why does it feel like the air conditioner is blowing cold air from all directions?

Ye Hantao used her phone to check the task process.

Our first destination today is the Wu Kuai Shi Market, which is also the jade raw material market in Fuzhou.

The program team gave each group an initial fund of 50,000 yuan to purchase raw stones by identifying them.

Just as she was about to introduce the task to the others, Ye Hantao suddenly received a text message from an unknown number.

[Maze will soon be removed from HT. If you beg me, I might consider letting him off the hook.]
