104: Chapter 104 is about to offend someone.

[Pfft hahahaha, I really didn't want to laugh, but I just can't help it!]

[Is this really not a staged effect for the show?]

[Looking at He Xiaomei's expression, it really doesn't seem like it was pre-arranged.]

[Amazing! Truly amazing!]

The barrage comments kept scrolling by, traffic was getting higher and higher, and new viewers were constantly entering the stream.

Director Zhang was grinning from ear to ear, momentarily ignoring the expressions of the guests on the show.

In the end, there was no doubt about it; Lin Xiao was the first to pick the largest room and happily went inside to put his things away.

Yan Sen and He He were the second to choose; logically, they should have gone straight for the middle room.

But seeing that Young Master Jie and He Xiaomei both looked displeased, they deferred to them for the sake of the show's atmosphere.

Fortunately, Young Master Jie and He Xiaomei weren't fools; they certainly knew better than to take others' politeness seriously at a time like this.

Although displeased, they still took the initiative to move into the smallest room.

After all, it was meant to host celebrities, and the size of the rooms was just to add to the show's effect.

Whether it was the large room or the small room, there were two bedrooms inside, and the conditions and facilities were quite good.

While it looked rough on the surface, the interior was fully equipped with bathrooms and showers.

Lin Xiao put his luggage into the two bedrooms of the suite separately and lay comfortably on the big bed.

The afternoon was reserved for rest, and the official activities hadn't started yet.

Everyone else chose to build their presence under the live streaming camera, having the Cameraman follow them around.

Only Lin Xiao chose to stay in his room and sleep soundly.

Even his lunch box was brought back for him by Lin Ran.

In the barrage, some people felt that Lin Xiao was being his authentic self, while others said he was just posturing, deliberately acting maverick to attract attention.

Lin Xiao himself didn't care about any of that; he slept until it was dark.

In the end, it was only when the staff came to call him for dinner that he slowly woke up.

He had originally expected to eat another boxed meal, but to his surprise, a table full of dishes was spread out in the middle of the small courtyard.

Several cameras were already set up nearby; it seemed this was also part of the show's activities.

Lin Xiao's stomach gave a timely rumble as hunger struck.

Without caring that the others hadn't arrived yet, he plonked himself down in the spot closest to the meat dishes and waved at Lin Ran, who was not far away.

[He really has no manners! The others haven't even arrived yet!]

[Exactly! Everyone present is older than him, right? How can he be so rude!]

[Damn, he's not even going to bother with the pretense of politeness?]

[He really is a young master, spoiled rotten since childhood!]

[That's not quite right, I remember this young master of the Lin family was lost away from home since he was a child and was only found recently.]

[Oh, then that just means he lacked upbringing from a young age!]

...

Lin Xiao was unaware of the discussions about him. Anyway, in his view, he didn't know the other guests, so why did he need to be polite?

Besides, who knew when the next meal would be after this one?

If it happened to be one of those shows where they had to cook for themselves, he had to take the opportunity to eat his fill.

Lin Ran's mouth twitched, and she suddenly felt like she had made a wrong decision.

Letting this silly boy come—she hoped he wouldn't end up bringing a mountain of hate upon her!

She tried hard to maintain the faint smile on her face and ignored Lin Xiao.

Instead, she waited until everyone else came out and, after some polite deferring, sat down next to Lin Xiao.

"You brat, don't just focus on eating! Say something at least!"

Lin Ran warned him through gritted teeth while maintaining a stiff smile.

Lin Xiao nodded in understanding.

But he didn't even spare Young Master Jie a glance; he skipped right over them and took the initiative to chat with Yan Sen.

There weren't many topics to chat about, just asking if they had fun this afternoon.

Young Master Jie's expression didn't look good, and He Xiaomei looked like she was about to blow up.

Fortunately, Yan Sen had high emotional intelligence and livened up the atmosphere with his conversation.

Perhaps at Director Zhang's instruction, as Yan Sen chatted, he brought up the topic of Lin Xiao knowing Fortune Telling.

"Lin Xiao, I heard that you have some research into metaphysics and Fortune Telling?"

Yan Sen's tone was humble and polite, without a hint of sarcasm.

"Just scratching the surface."

Lin Xiao's attitude was also very humble.

But He Xiaomei, who was to the side, let out a "pfft" laugh.

"Fortune Telling? Hahaha, did I hear that right? There are still people who believe in this nowadays!"

He Xiaomei laughed very exaggeratedly, as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world.

Even Young Master Jie, who didn't usually speak much, feigned coldness and quipped: "Believe he can do Fortune Telling, or believe that I am Qin Shi Huang?"

[So cold, but I love it!]

[Oh my god, why is our Young Master Jie so witty!]

[Is this young master of the Lin family really picked up from the countryside? Fortune Telling? Does he really think everyone is easy to fool?]

...

Yan Sen glanced at Director Zhang not far away, and seeing Director Zhang nod, he continued: "Metaphysics is actually hard to say; you can't say it's completely unbelievable."

Seeing that He Xiaomei was about to mock him again, He He quickly took over the conversation, "Actually, if you want to verify whether Fortune Telling is accurate or not, you just need to try it... Lin Xiao, would you mind doing a reading for me?"

"Hmm, I suppose so."

Lin Xiao was actually a bit conflicted.

The dirt on He He, and even the dirt on Yan Sen, had already appeared in his mind the moment he saw them that morning.

It was just that he knew that in a place like the entertainment industry, the slightest disturbance could potentially kick up a huge storm.

He didn't want to get into trouble for no reason.

But the topic had already reached this point; if he didn't say something, he would be mocked by those two guys, Young Master Jie and He Xiaomei.

It might even affect Lin Ran.

After pondering for a moment, he decided to just throw caution to the wind.

"Sister He He, you should get a divorce sooner rather than later."
