32: The reverse prank had a significant impact: the show was canceled, but Xu Lu's fan base exploded.

Xiao Chuan is a beautiful girl, usually sunny and cheerful in life, and well-liked by her friends.

But even such a positive and optimistic girl has her own worries deep down.

Although that incident happened half a year ago, Xiao Chuan still has nightmares when she thinks about it now.

Every time she wakes up from a dream in fright, she secretly cries for a while to relieve that lingering fear.

She still remembers a weekend half a year ago, Xiao Chuan was walking on the street, preparing to meet up with her best friend for shopping.

Who knew that just as the two of them were walking in a small alley, they were 'robbed'... Xiao Chuan no longer wanted to recall the specific details of what happened then.

She only knew that after this incident, she and her former best friend had a rift, and gradually drifted apart.

Today was also a weekend, but Xiao Chuan had no plans to go out. She planned to make a delicious meal at home to reward herself for a week of hard work.

But just as Xiao Chuan was about to start, she found her phone lit up.

A familiar yet unfamiliar number appeared on it, with the remark 'Xiao Bao'.

The phone's ringtone kept playing, but Xiao Chuan seemed to be frozen in place.

Time passed little by little, and Xiao Chuan finally came back to her senses, took a deep breath, answered the phone, and softly said:

"Hello!"

"Hello, Xiao Chuan, I'm sorry. I should have said these three words to you a long time ago, but I've never had the courage to speak..."

On the other end of the phone was also a young girl.

Listening to the trembling in her voice, it was clear she was crying while speaking.

Xiao Chuan listened quietly, but a smile gradually appeared on her face.

The voice on the other end continued, saying:

"Xiao Chuan, I originally thought we would never contact each other again, but today I saw some news, do you know? Xiao Chuan, that program that pranked us is about to be finished, woo woo woo woo woo, that's great..."

Hearing this, Xiao Chuan was stunned again.

That prank show was precisely the beginning of the rift between these two good friends.

If that day's prank by the Program Production Team hadn't happened, she and Xiao Bao would never be in this situation.

They should still be the best of friends, inseparable every weekend.

Countless times, Xiao Chuan was awakened from her sleep by this program, and she knew that Xiao Bao on the other end must have felt the same way.

"About to be finished?"

Xiao Chuan murmured to herself.

Xiao Bao on the other end was crying loudly, but there was also a sense of relief in her voice, saying:

"Xiao Chuan, it's over, it's over, there won't be this program anymore. Let's continue to be friends, okay?"

Xiao Chuan was also teary-eyed at some point, but the corners of her mouth slightly curved up, and she said one word:

"Okay!"

"Mhm mhm, wait for me at home, I'll be right over to find you!"

Xiao Bao's hurried voice of leaving came from the other end.

About half an hour later, a shy girl with swollen eyes appeared at the door.

Upon seeing Xiao Chuan, the other person directly rushed over, and the two hugged tightly.

A few minutes later, the two snuggled on the sofa, watching the live replay of today's Hilarious Prank program.

Although Xiao Chuan was utterly disgusted with this program, she trusted her good friend Xiao Bao.

If the other party insisted she watch it all, then she would.

Soon, the scene of two Passersby being pranked made Xiao Chuan feel as if she was reliving her own helplessness when she was pranked.

Xiao Bao next to her obviously knew this and held her hand tightly.

Fortunately, soon, the appearance of a young man caused an unexpected turn in the show.

"Xiao Chuan, look quickly, it's this man! Look at him, it's so satisfying!"

Xiao Bao's eyes lit up, and she patted Xiao Chuan's shoulder, reminding her.

Soon, the two saw the scene where the two Actors of the Program Production Team were, instead, pranked by that Passerby.

Just then, countless bullet comments also flooded in, all condemning the unscrupulous Program Production Team... "Did you see that, Xiao Chuan? Everyone hates this program now, it can't continue anymore. We won't be pranked by others again!"

Xiao Bao said excitedly.

Xiao Chuan also stared blankly at the bullet comments, tears streaming down her face, but this time they were tears of joy.

The long-standing knot in her heart was completely untied at this moment.

Xiao Chuan wiped the corners of her eyes and suddenly smiled, saying:

"You stinky Bao, are you hungry? What do you want to eat today?"

Xiao Bao's eyes instantly gleamed, and she nodded repeatedly:

"Mhm, I've been hungry for a long time. I didn't even eat breakfast today. I want to eat braised pork hock!"

"Then hurry up and come to the kitchen to help me out!"

Xiao Chuan patted the other person's head, turned around, and walked into the kitchen, skillfully tying her apron.

"Oh, you dare to hit my head? I'm going to get revenge!"

Xiao Bao flailed her arms and legs on the sofa for a while, but after seeing Xiao Chuan glare at her, she immediately sat up obediently:

"Yes, my queen! I'll come and help you right away!"

...Xiao Chuan and Xiao Bao were not the 'only two' victims of the 'Hilarious Prank' program.

On the contrary, as this program became popular, several victims would emerge in each episode.

They were made to look foolish by the Program Production Team's pranking methods, but ultimately they were constrained by that agreement, forcing them to bury their suffering deep within.

Until today, the program famous for pranks was subjected to an extreme reverse prank by a Passerby.

This allowed countless people to vent their anger.

Especially the buzz generated by this incident also made Hilarious Prank a target of public scorn.

Even if a very small number of people, with malicious intent, hoped that this program could continue, this was already an impossible outcome.

In fact, it wasn't too unexpected.

In less than a few hours, inside information spread.

It said that the 'Hilarious Prank' program had been ordered to cease production and broadcasting due to some procedural issues.

Furthermore, because some content in past episodes involved suspected illegal activities, relevant personnel of the Program Production Team would face legal sanctions.

"That's great! It's incredible that such a terrible program was allowed to air for so long!"

"Heaven has eyes! I was pranked a long time ago and almost had a breakdown. Now that this program is finished, I feel really great!"

"Thank you so much to that young man! If he hadn't reverse-pranked the Program Production Team, it wouldn't have generated this much buzz."

"Yes, the young man's contribution is paramount to this Program Production Team being shut down; without him, it wouldn't have been possible.

And if this Hilarious Prank Program Production Team continued to exist, who knows how many more victims would be created in the future..."

"I heard this guy is a Streamer, I've decided to follow him!"

"Same here. I heard people say this Streamer is good at stirring up trouble, which can be seen from today's reverse prank and scaring NPCs in the Haunted House."
