Jing Yi opened her eyes and turned her head to look at Jing Zeqian, asking puzzled, "Didn't you think it was pointless?"
"That doesn't mean you shouldn't ask!"
Jing Yi looked at Jing Zeqian helplessly, with an expression that said 'I'm the only one who indulges you'. "Alright, alright, so what's your wish?"
Jing Zeqian gritted his teeth and looked at Jing Yi with a fake smile. "I wish Jing Yi would be a bit more obedient and stop talking back!"
Jing Yi spread her hands innocently. "Now you're being greedy. You already have one obedient sister, yet you're demanding another one to be obedient too. That kind of wish won't come true."
"Hahahahaha"
Wen Yin couldn't help but burst out laughing, and the others couldn't control their smiles either.
For a moment, the atmosphere was filled with joy.
Jing Zeqian: ...
[I declare Jing Yi the winner of this round!]
[Their atmosphere is so nice! The livestream next door with the Li Shaocheng sisters is almost depressingly gloomy!]
[Dear, it's not convenient to mention other livestreams here, it's easy to start arguments.]
[This is the meaning of travel variety shows, isn't it? So healing!]
"Tell us your own wish!"
Jing Yi silently glanced at Jing Zeqian, who was about to lose his temper out of embarrassment...
Jing Zeqian was truly on the verge of losing his temper!
Jing Yi quickly resumed her previous posture and said seriously, "I hope the story can continue, and not just be a fleeting dream after waking up."
The eyes of Jing Zeyou and the other two showed some emotion, and they all looked at Jing Yi with tenderness.
After expressing her wish, Jing Yi didn't immediately open her eyes, but maintained her posture and silently made a wish.
[I hope Grandma is doing well in heaven, I hope Auntie and Uncle stay healthy, I hope Big Brother can get more rest, I hope Jing Zeqian can continue to be proud of his 'Startrack', I hope Junjun can fulfill her dream! It seems like a lot, so I'll make more wishes later!]
Jing Zeyou looked at Jing Yi with her eyes closed, his gaze radiating tenderness.
Jing Zeqian's slender eyes were filled with affection. Jing Yi, your wishes are really quite numerous.
Jing Zejun suddenly leaned against Jing Yi, closing her eyes to hide her slightly reddened eyelids.
This moment of warmth made even the netizens unconsciously captivated.
...
"Orange, we'll be going now. See you at the next recording!" The staff packed up their filming equipment and said goodbye to Li Shaocheng.
Seeing her sister standing behind her, they also wanted to say goodbye, but after some thought, decided against it.
After everyone had left the apartment, the assistant next to the staff member asked, "Brother, is it okay not to say goodbye to Li Shaocheng's sister?" What he really wanted to ask was, wouldn't it be impolite?
The staff member sighed, "I wanted to say goodbye too, but didn't you notice that her condition has been getting worse?"
The assistant finally realized that it was indeed the case, and recently she had become even more unpredictable in her moods.
"You just stay in the living room, but I have to follow and film upstairs. Whenever we give her sister a bit more screen time, her face darkens."
Several times he didn't know whether to move the camera or not, so he simply fixed it in the living room.
The assistant's expression became complicated, "Aren't they sisters? How come they're not even as..."
"Shh! How dare you say that!"
The staff member looked around nervously. The entertainment industry most fears comparisons of the same type, especially since Li Shaocheng was particularly sensitive about the sisters from the Jing family.
The assistant quickly shut his mouth, momentarily forgetting his professional role.
"Let's just endure it a bit longer. The next recording will be the last episode, and then we'll join the main group."
The assistant breathed a sigh of relief. The days at Li Shaocheng's house were indeed not easy.
Perhaps the audience sees Li Shaocheng's smiling face, but these staff members more often feel the oppressive atmosphere in her home.
In places the camera doesn't capture.
"Brother, I heard the treatment in the livestream next door is super good!" The assistant's voice was full of envy.
He could see his colleagues' social media posts - afternoon tea, three meals a day provided, even accommodations arranged by the production team for travel!
The staff member sighed. How could he not be envious? Every time he saw Director Xu's social media, he was incredibly jealous. He strongly suspected that Director Xu had anticipated the Jing family's generosity and chose to follow them!
"Not only is the treatment good, but the atmosphere is great, and they have high popularity!" They've been on hot searches several times, while their side is becoming increasingly bleak.
Fortunately, they'll be joining up for the next recording.
Meanwhile, after Li Shaocheng smiled and saw off the production team, she closed the door and her face immediately darkened.
Her sister stood still, breathing lightly. Recently, Li Shaocheng's state had been increasingly off, even making her apprehensive, while also strengthening her resolve.
Li Shaocheng sat silently on the sofa, lost in thought.
"Sister"
Li Shaocheng's sister's heart skipped a beat, her heart starting to race. She tried to respond calmly, "What is it?"
Li Shaocheng's gaze was fixed straight ahead, not focusing on anything in particular. Her tone was distant, "Tell me, am I really inferior to those sisters next door?"
Her sister's nails dug into her palms in her pocket.
Again, this question. She had heard it countless times lately.
The sister licked her dry lips, "Chengcheng, you don't need to compare yourself to anyone, you are just..." Li Shaocheng's cold eyes immediately turned to her, "You also think I'm not as good as them, don't you?"
The sister took a step back, frightened by her gaze.
Finding courage from somewhere, she looked up at Li Shaocheng, "No, I just think why do you always have to compare yourself to others, especially people you've never even met."
Li Shaocheng was the youngest daughter in the family, deeply loved by her parents since childhood. You could say they gave her the moon and the stars.
She had always been competitive, and with her parents' doting, she couldn't stand anyone surpassing her.
Li Shaocheng was excellent, excellent to the point of often ranking first in her grade during school;
Excellent to the point that because her sister got into a top university for a science and engineering major, she changed her major in her senior year of high school and worked herself to the bone to get into the same school;
Excellent to the point of practicing dance day and night to become the center position.
However, this kind of excellence made Li Shaocheng's sister very afraid, afraid to the point of wanting to escape this family, to escape Li Shaocheng.
When she was young, she had rebelled. She asked her mother why she always had to give in to her sister, always had to be second to her sister?
Her mother said, "Chengcheng is still young, we need to give her confidence and a sense of achievement."
But why did Li Shaocheng's confidence and sense of achievement have to come at her expense? What about her own life?
Li Shaocheng laughed coldly, "Never met? We've met and they've already surpassed me, shouldn't I care about that?!"
Those trending topics, those comments, those comparisons, they were all humiliating to her!
Her sister's eyes were filled with bitterness, "Li Shaocheng, your life shouldn't be measured against others..."
