A Contractual Marriage with the Best Leading Actor - Chapter 32

A Special Guest (3)

Every Best Leading Actor’s woman had experienced suffering beyond comparison; none have managed to avoid it.

Bai Qi raised his head, he looked at Little Lin and smiled. “Okay, I’ll have ice cream then.”

He shared his bubblegum with Little Lin as he said that.

The last time Little Lin ate something like this was during his childhood years. He unwrapped it and popped it into his mouth.

Ah, the sweetness.

In the afternoon, other guests who were participating in ‘The Perfectly Wedded Pair’ had reached the filming site one after another.

Xi Chengyun was preoccupied with other events on his schedule at that time. So, he asked A-Da and Little Lin to accompany Bai Qi to the site first.

Before boarding the plane, Bai Qi sent a text to his mom so that she won’t be worried.

At that point, Su Meixian had just found out how popular this ‘mega celebrity’ Lee-jie was talking about actually was… It turned out that the news about the rumored marriage between her son and this celebrity was all over the internet.

She didn’t know much about the entertainment industry. However, she knew for a fact that certainly there would be paparazzi constantly going after such news.

Su Meixian rubbed her forehead and put her phone down. To avoid causing trouble for her son, she fought the urge to do anything else.

She could always save her questions for later.

…

It was half past one in the morning when Bai Qi got off the plane.

The production team was still faithfully waiting at the airport. 

　“Are… are you Mr. Bai?” The staff walked forward and greeted him incredulously.

“That’s me. Nice to meet you,” Bai Qi answered.

He was currently huddled in clothing from head to toe, fully armed in a mask, scarf, and hat; all these to survive the below sub-zero temperature.

Although the staff couldn’t see his face clearly, they instantly recognized the assistant, A-Da.

Thus, the staff was certain that Bai Qi was the person they were waiting for.

Although the contract has been signed, Best Actor Xi was a bigshot, so they couldn’t be absolutely sure that he’d come… but luckily, it seemed like today’s task was a success!

“Please, this way. Our car is right outside,” a staff member said as he worked together with Little Lin, bustling along, clipping a mic and GoPro on Bai Qi.

They immediately started filming when Bai Qi got into the car.

“Please don’t be nervous. We can always edit some parts out later on.” The staff was being extraordinarily polite to him. “First, try looking into the camera…do you feel okay?”

Bai Qi signaled an ‘OK’ with his fingers.

Wow, this is interesting, first time for everything I guess.

The staff and A-Da gave him a detailed rundown about the things he had to take note of when they were filming.

“Also, we’ll appreciate your kind cooperation with the team’s schedule. Other than that, feel free to act as you please.”

Bai Qi nodded.

After the staff picked them up, the official Weibo of ‘The Perfectly Wedded Pair’ finally dared to post promotional posters of the show.

There were four couples in total.

Three couples were shown at different corners on the poster and a large blank space was left in the middle. Two words were written there: A Special Guest.

        【I’m speechless. The variety shows on your platform are getting more and more boring. What type of stunt are y’all trying to pull with this ‘Special Guest’ of yours? How ‘special’ are they? What, are y’all inviting Xi Chengyun or something? 】

At the shooting location, the cameras were temporarily switched off.

A guest chuckled and said, “Did they really manage to get Xi Chengyun to come?” It was obvious that the guests didn’t quite believe that to be true.

Other than those who need to market their identity as a couple, couples who’d like to promote certain ‘ships’, and those who’d like to become popular again… Well, other than those people, who would be willing to participate in such variety shows? 

When it came to Xi Chengyun, it wasn’t just this show, other shows too weren’t anywhere close to being able to invite him — they weren’t worthy enough.

Everyone else remained silent.

They’d all met in the afternoon, and have already filmed a decent amount of footage.

The reason why they were awake and sitting there, was, well, to see for themselves if Xi Chengyun was actually coming.

The team of directors didn’t dare to head to bed first, from time to time glancing in the direction of the entrance of the hall.

After who knows how long, someone finally shouted, “They’re here! The car is here!”

Bai Qi had taken a nap in the car.

He wasn’t used to being out this late, so he ended up nodding off to sleep.
