Chapter 267 - 246: Doesn’t Seem So Jealous Anymore


Chapter 267: Chapter 246: Doesn’t Seem So Jealous Anymore

Zhu Xiu’an finally understood completely that the old grandma in front of him was not a local here to watch the spectacle, but was actually Ji Xizhi!

Zhu Xiu’an was thunderstruck, inside and out.

“Zhi Zhi? Why are you dressed as…” ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel✶fire.net

Zhu Xiu’an hadn’t finished asking when he remembered the embarrassing scene of him hugging Ji Xizhi’s calf and crying.

His gaze shifted to the filming PD’s camera not far away.

Zhu Xiu’an also realized at this point that the PD he saw before hugging the grandma wasn’t his PD; it was Ji Xizhi’s follow-cam PD.

Zhu Xiu’an: “…”

He glared black-faced at Ji Xizhi’s follow-cam PD.

The PD was looking up at the sky just then, but the pitch-black lens was still accurately aimed at his face.

The video of him crying dramatically while hugging Ji Xizhi’s calf had already been live-streamed on the spot.

Moreover, the angle of the camera on the PD’s shoulder was in the center stage of the broadcast.

Zhu Xiu’an: “!” His heart sank!

He swore that right now he really wanted to jump into the sea!

Fans of Ji Xizhi and Zhu Xiu’an, who had just tuned in, witnessed this marvelous moment together, both fan groups cracked up, especially Zhu Xiu’an’s fans, who immediately began establishing familial ties with Ji Xizhi in the broadcast room.

[I agree to this relationship, I’ve approved it! This good grandson title, I’ll recognize it on behalf of Zhi Zhi!]

[Attention intellectuals here, when our silly dog holds the family recognition banquet, you’ll all sit at the main table, everyone come!~]

[Has anyone considered Zhi Zhi? Is Zhi Zhi willing to recognize a silly dog as a grandson? You guys don’t push too far (dog head!)]

[He already knelt down and called grandma, don’t be too harsh upstairs~]

Zhu Xiu’an’s dignity was scattered all over the ground, thought for half a minute, still couldn’t think of a way to redeem himself.

Zhu Xiu’an decided to let it go.

He raised his head and took another look at Ji Xizhi’s outfit.

Upon seeing Ji Xizhi’s attire, which looked almost identical to the grandpas and grandmas from Xianyu Village who came to watch the show, he suddenly found a breakthrough.

“I get it, you’re deliberately mimicking the grandpas and grandmas’ attire so that no one can recognize you!”

Ji Xizhi was wrapped up so tightly, not showing any skin on her long legs and arms; sitting on the ground at first without seeing Ji Xizhi’s face, getting fooled was just too reasonable!

If Ji Xizhi went out dressed like this, even her hardcore fans would find it hard to recognize her!

Zhu Xiu’an stared at Ji Xizhi, concerns about dignity had already been cast aside.

Now all that was left was flattering and ingratiating.

“Zhi Zhi, how about you dress me up too? I want a grandpa-grandma disguise as well!!!”

In the dressing room, the makeup artist was still adjusting Bai Zhe’s hairstyle.

Bai Zhe’s requirements were extremely meticulous, always asking the makeup artist to adjust this and deepen that eyeliner, having spent half an hour, there was no way Zhu Xiu’an would get a turn for makeup.

Zhu Xiu’an simply switched tactics, deciding to rely on Ji Xizhi instead of waiting for the makeup artist.

Actually, Ji Xizhi hadn’t planned to dress as the grandpas and grandmas who came to watch; she had already gone into the fitting room when they arrived.

However, when she landed on the island yesterday and arrived at Xianyu Village, she noticed several villagers’ attire, plus the costumes provided by the show included local Xianyu Village outfits. Ji Xizhi selected one that was particularly sun-protective and geared up.

Perhaps she only considered sun protection, not much about the outfit combination, so it was seamlessly harmonious when standing among the grandpas and grandmas who were watching.

[Actually, it’s understandable that Zhu Xiu’an would mistake her; thinking back to that angle, I didn’t recognize her either!]

[Zhi Zhi really doesn’t have celebrity baggage, who knew! The first time I followed this show, before Ji Xizhi even appeared, many people mocked her for having heavy celebrity baggage, but now, tsk tsk~]

Zhu Xiu’an pitifully pleaded.

Ji Xizhi wasn’t entirely cold-hearted, she glanced at the time and agreed to help Zhu Xiu’an.

“Three minutes to change clothes, then come over here for makeup.”

Ji Xizhi picked out a piece of clothing for Zhu Xiu’an, then pointed to the makeup station Sheng Yaoyao had just used.

Zhu Xiu’an happily carried the clothes and went to change.

Ji Xizhi then prepared the makeup items at the nearby station.

Zhu Xiu’an changed clothes as quickly as possible, didn’t even have time to admire himself in the mirror, and sat in front of the makeup station.

Ji Xizhi had everything prepared, she lightly called for Zhu Xiu’an to close his eyes, and then quickly began applying makeup.

Zhu Xiu’an was thrilled to be helped by Ji Xizhi, cheerfully closed his eyes to enjoy it.

Except, before closing his eyes, he noticed his shirt looked a bit odd?

But… not important!

Zhu Xiu’an crossed his legs, relying on his trust in Ji Xizhi, he began imagining the scene today when he becomes the show group’s final winner, revealing his identity to the fans.

Ji Xizhi was busy applying makeup for Zhu Xiu’an, and Bai Zhe on the other side also opened his eyes and saw this.

Bai Zhe had been adjusting his makeup and hairstyle in front of the mirror for twenty minutes, but was still unsatisfied. His requirements were both meticulous and the timeframe was short; even a skilled makeup artist would find it hard to achieve perfection in such a short time.

Bai Zhe felt frustrated and looked up to see Ji Xizhi diligently applying makeup for Zhu Xiu’an.

Though Zhu Xiu’an’s face was blocked by Ji Xizhi, Bai Zhe was aware of Ji Xizhi’s makeup skills from when he watched “The Secret Escape”.

Bai Zhe cursed his own makeup artist as useless in his heart, thinking he should have ditched the rubbish artist to help Zhu Xiu’an and asked Ji Xizhi for assistance himself!

Bai Zhe secretly harbored resentment on the opposite side.

Meanwhile, someone was openly jealous.

Le Qiqi was right next to Zhu Xiu’an, she had just applied a light makeup herself, turned to see Ji Xizhi in a floral shirt applying makeup for Zhu Xiu’an.

Le Qiqi: “Ahhh Zhi Zhi, you’re biased, you do makeup for him but not for me!”

Fang Zhuyue also glanced over, but said nothing, only showing some envy in her eyes.

[The lady does have a discerning eye, even dressed like this, she can still recognize Zhi Zhi!]

[Just saying, it seems like Zhu Xiu’an, everyone seems to have recognized him~]

Ji Xizhi was still quickly doing Zhu Xiu’an’s makeup, hearing Le Qiqi’s words, she took a moment to look at her and praised: “You’ve done very well already.”

Le Qiqi heard this and her jealousy was instantly soothed.

Who doesn’t like being praised! Even the young lady wants to be complimented~

Le Qiqi was happy for five seconds, then the sour feelings wanted to continue bubbling up: “But I also…”

She wanted to say that she also wished for Ji Xizhi to help with makeup; Ji Xizhi’s work during “The Secret Escape” was remarkable, fooling many NPCs, leading Director Xu to confiscate guests’ makeup products in every filming afterwards.

What if this time it’s another tactic?

But before Le Qiqi could finish speaking, she walked over to the front of Zhu Xiu’an’s makeup mirror, and the sight of Zhu Xiu’an’s face made her words stop instantly.

Le Qiqi swallowed hard, she wasn’t feeling very jealous anymore.

No! She wasn’t jealous at all!!!
