Nan XiangWan took quite some time to accept the fact that a fifty-year-old man named Yang Rongjun became a regular guest on a horror variety show. She applauded while sighing at the same time.
Impressive!
Instead of being afraid, Yang Rongjun was curious and excited. He kept asking Nan XiangWan about various things that needed attention.
Nan XiangWan pondered and said, "You must not pick locks."
Yang Rongjun jotted it down in a small notebook, saying, "Alright, no picking locks."
Nan XiangWan continued, "You must not hit NPCs."
Yang Rongjun quickly noted it down.
Nan XiangWan added, "And most importantly, never skip important plot points."
Yang Rongjun didn't understand, "What do you mean by skipping?"
Nan XiangWan explained, "If an NPC approaches, there must be a storyline attached to it, a mission to fulfill. You have to observe carefully, preferably get closer, and interact with them."
Yang Rongjun suddenly realized and hurriedly wrote, "Interaction is crucial."
Nan XiangWan recalled the scene when Bei Bei was searching for clues and said, "Also, pay attention to task items. You need to search carefully because those clues are well hidden. Sometimes you have to disassemble dolls to find them."
Yang Rongjun replied, "Alright, I won't miss any details."
One dared to ask, the other dared to teach.
In this way, they deviated further and further from the normal gameplay of an escape room.
Without saying much, Yang Rongjun filled a whole page with key points, kept it close to him, and decided to bring it into the escape room.
The old and the young had dinner together and both had a hearty appetite.
Yang Rongjun remarked, "The child isn't getting fat despite eating so much."
Nan XiangWan replied, "You're not eating any less either."
Yang Rongjun said, "I'm already fat!"
Nan XiangWan teased, "I have high energy expenditure! Are you going to eat this big chicken leg or not? If not, I'll have it."
Yang Rongjun exclaimed, "Don't snatch it! I want to eat it!"
The two assistants on the side were speechless.
Were these two like an odd couple?
After dinner, the old and the young sat on the couch and burped contentedly.
An assistant handed a cup of tea to Yang Rongjun, and he sipped it with satisfaction.
Nan XiangWan took an ice-cold cola handed to her by Xiao Dong and gulped it down in one go.
Their actions were perfectly synchronized. After finishing their drinks, they placed the cups on the table and leaned back, crossing their legs.
The two assistants were speechless.
Unbelievable!
Soon, it was time to enter the venue.
With Xiao Dong's help, Jie Chou entered the inner area and sat in the familiar middle seat of the front row.
Jie Chou remarked, "Xiao Dong, you're reliable as always."
Xiao Dong asked, "Did you bring your support sign today?"
Jie Chou replied, "Yes, I brought it. When the lights come on, the sign must be displayed."
Xiao Dong gave a thumbs up and said, "Well done!"
Although Xiao Dong was currently just an assistant, she was even more professional than many managers. Moreover, she had received genuine guidance from Cheng Xue. She paid attention to every detail.
After settling Jie Chou, Xiao Dong returned to the rest area.
First, she patted Nan XiangWan on the shoulder and then coaxed her, saying, "It's about to start. How about warming up your voice?"
Nan XiangWan replied, "Rapping doesn't require hitting high notes, so no warm-up needed."
Xiao Dong continued coaxing, "Rap has different styles. Which style will you perform today, Manager Nan?"
Nan XiangWan said, "Earthquake sound."
Xiao Dong was puzzled, "???"
What on earth is that?
Suddenly, Nan XiangWan remembered something and asked, "Do you have cigarettes?"
Xiao Dong exploded on the spot, "Nan XiangWan! Aren't you underage?!"
Nan XiangWan was bewildered, "What's wrong? I asked if you have cigarettes."
Xiao Dong replied, "I don't have any! You're not allowed to smoke!"
Nan XiangWan clarified, "No, I meant 'smoke' as in dry ice!"
Xiao Dong understood, "Oh, I see. I don't have any, but the props department should have some. Shall I go borrow some? What do you need it for?"
Nan XiangWan explained, "To cool down my throat and enhance the earthquake sound effect later."
Xiao Dong agreed, "Alright! I'll go borrow it."
Nan XiangWan watched Xiao Dong run off, looking completely puzzled. Xiao Dong was easily angered, huh?
At that moment, Yang Rongjun sneaked in quietly. Yes, he was here again.
He closed the door gently.
Nan XiangWan was confused, "???"
Yang Rongjun took out a box of cigarettes, "Even my assistant doesn't allow me to smoke. Care for one?"
Nan XiangWan was about to accept.
Snap!
Yang Rongjun suddenly withdrew his hand, saying, "Almost forgot, you're underage."
He then proceeded to smoke, wearing a satisfied expression.
Nan XiangWan remained silent.
At exactly 8 o'clock in the evening, the live broadcast of "The Singer" officially began!
Guan Liangzhe stepped onto the stage, wearing a brand-new luxurious suit, striding confidently.
Applause erupted from the audience, filled with enthusiasm.
Guan Liangzhe asked, "Do I look handsome today?"
The crowd replied, "Handsome!!"
In the barrage:
- Hey, Guan, did you forget about the high-end outfit you discarded last week?
- This guy is being flashy again, haha!
- Don't scrap it tonight!
- Are you still drinking, Zhang Gege?
- But I'm so disappointed that Wanbao isn't here.
- Not disappointed! Concert! Sisterhood! Let's go!
The atmosphere heated up quickly, and it was time for the drawing.
The first one to draw was Yang Rongjun!
Guan Liangzhe exclaimed, "Wow! Let's welcome Mr. Yang Rongjun to bring us some rap!"
The audience started anticipating. It was well-known that Yang Rongjun was an experienced artist with a very traditional singing style.
Rap? Hard to believe!
Amidst everyone's curiosity, Yang Rongjun stepped onto the stage.
He was dressed in a long robe today, exuding a touch of vintage charm.
He cleared his throat twice and then began.
The accompaniment played, and Yang Rongjun suddenly extended his hand, striking a classic rap pose.
And then he started to sing!
He flowed smoothly!
The entire venue ignited, exploding with excitement!
The cheers rose and fell in waves, continuously reverberating.
The barrage went crazy, expressing various surprises.
- Fantastic, Teacher Yang!
- You can actually rap?
- You're the oldest rapper in history!
- This performance by Yang Rongjun was outstanding and completely different from his usual style, capturing the hearts of numerous young viewers instantly.
Even Guan Liangzhe was shocked. As Yang Rongjun finished singing, he hurriedly walked onto the stage and called out, "Teacher Yang, please wait for a moment!"
Yang Rongjun turned back and waved his hand from the stage.
Guan Liangzhe said, "Teacher Yang, I'd like to interview you. Have you ever tried rap before?"
Yang Rongjun took the microphone from a nearby staff member and replied, "No, I haven't. Today, I broke through myself and sang rap for the first time."
Guan Liangzhe exclaimed, "You sang wonderfully! Could you share some key points about your clear enunciation in rap?"
Yang Rongjun: "Key point? I specifically consulted Nan XiangWan and she taught me the b-box, which seems to be a way of spraying saliva!"
The crowd fell silent for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
Barrage comments:
- "Here it comes! Spraying saliva!"
- "I knew it! Hahaha!"
- "By the way, Zhong Lingfei posted on Weibo about this, and Bian Zhiming also taught her how to spray saliva. Hahaha!"
- "A familiar scene reappears!"
- "I want to see how Nan XiangWan taught Yang Rongjun to spray saliva. I really want to see it!"
- "One dares to teach, and one dares to learn!"
- "The key is how Yang Rongjun can proudly say it, so bizarre!"
