Ji Nian had been waiting backstage for nearly half an hour. The other guests invited to the live show had also gradually appeared in front of the audience.
And from the moment Cheng Liran came out on Fruit TV's show this episode, the topic immediately topped the hot search on Weibo, with click rates soaring up.
At this moment, the backstage monitoring data directly refreshed the previous records, reaching the highest point. The director was overjoyed and contacted the team to brush the hotness on Weibo.
"I heard that Cheng Liran came over this time to promote his new movie." He Yi said while sitting on one side.
Ji Nian was eating snacks absent-mindedly. She was a little afraid that the original owner's consciousness was still in her body. When they got on stage together later, she was afraid that there would be some reaction from her body that she couldn't control.
"Little Nian, what's wrong?" Shen Shuyao asked with concern, "Is it because..."
Ji Nian snapped back to her senses and shook her head. "It's nothing, I'm just a little sleepy."
"Come on, stop pretending." He Yi said unpleasantly, "Sister, this is a live show. Don't cause any accident later. He is your ex-boyfriend after all. He sued you for 6 million yuan compensation. You should let go."
Ji Nian sighed softly. It wasn't her, it was the original owner's consciousness. Strange enough, what reason could make her so deeply infatuated?
But she had flipped through the phone and found no evidence of a love relationship at all. The only chat record she saw also had just two sentences.
"We were contract lovers. I hope you let go in time."
"We agreed at the beginning that we could end it."
Ji Nian shook her head. She really couldn't figure it out. She recalled the plot in the book and there was no information about the supporting female character at all. Most of the time, it was just briefly mentioned.
"Shall I...slip away first?" Ji Nian looked at He Yi and asked.
"What?" He Yi was confused and said, "What tricks are you going to play?"
Shen Shuyao was shocked and said, "Little Nian, where are you going?"
"You may not believe me if I say it out." Ji Nian said awkwardly. "Every time I see Cheng Liran, there will always be something strange happening."
He Yi glanced at her coldly and said, "If you slip away, other programs won't invite you anymore either. This is a breach of contract. No matter how strange, you have to finish recording the show with me."
In fact, Ji Nian just asked. At this point, running away was unrealistic. She could just go with the flow. If something really happened, then so be it. She didn't care and could stand to be criticized for another period of time.
Hearing that there was a staff member urging them, He Yi hurriedly said, "Hurry up, it's your turn to go on stage now. Pull yourself together!"
Shen Shuyao pulled the woman along and said with concern, "Little Nian, hang in there. Half of the show is over and it will end soon."
In fact, Ji Nian was fine. She was just afraid that the original owner's consciousness would suddenly come out.
"Let's go over since they called." Ji Nian nodded.
The two followed the staff member backstage and walked onto the stage from the side. They could only hear the cheering roar of the crowd. Ji Nian looked at the audience in puzzlement.
"The long-awaited game session is about to begin, everyone." Liang Jie smiled at the camera.
"Yes. The guests invited today seemed to get everyone very excited. So let's look forward to seeing who can win this game." Host Li He laughed.
"So before the game session, the official topic has opened on our Weibo. There are only three minutes and we will pick the one with the highest likes. Please take out your phones, enter the topic. We will pick the one with the most likes." Host Xiao Tao said.
On the stage, the topics on the big screen kept refreshing, and the seconds kept counting down. Ji Nian was dazzled by the stage lights and her eyes hurt a little.
And Shen Shuyao was watching the big screen nervously. She was afraid that later, those fans would catch the woman next to her and ask some hurtful questions about the past relationship.
Cheng Liran was also silently staring at the big screen. When he first heard that Ji Nian was here too, although he was not very happy about it, since it was for movie promotion during an important transition period in his career, he came anyway.
"10..."
"9..."
"8..."
At this point, the hosts had started counting down. Everyone held their breath and stared at the changing data on the big screen.
"3..."
"2..."
"1..."
Everyone was stunned when they saw the three topics that appeared on the screen. There were gasps from the audience below too.
At this moment, the netizens watching the livestream also started booing as barrages kept posting.
"Oh my god...these questions..."
"Judging from these three most liked topics, they all seem to be about her?"
"As we all know, Happy Day usually only picks three topics. But unexpectedly, all three this time are about the same person??"
"This broke my heart, fam."
"Waiting for the answers. I'm very curious."
"This Happy Day episode completely exploded."
"Sorry, I actually liked all three of these topics just now."
Meanwhile, the hosts on stage were also quite calm. To tell the truth, Happy Day had stayed popular for so long, mainly because of its open boundaries, just like now.
Inviting A-list celeb Cheng Liran and his ex-girlfriend as guests, once the topic was opened, most people could guess what the questions would be about regarding this past relationship.
Shen Shuyao frowned. What she was worried about had happened. She was actually worried that the woman beside her would feel sad. At this moment, she vaguely regretted agreeing to appear on this show.
"Alright, the three most liked topics are out." Liang Jie looked at Ji Nian apologetically, then turned to the audience with a professional smile. "Didn't expect everyone to be so curious!"
Li He smiled and chimed in, "So for this question, can Liran answer?"
Xiao Tao knew the atmosphere was a little embarrassing. He joked, "Haha why don't we make an exception and vote again?"
"Noooooo!!" shouted the bold audience below.
"So what does Liran think?" Liang Jie asked with a smile. Her eyes betrayed her attempt to probe the man's stance.
Cheng Liran knew there would be voted topics, but he still underestimated the audience's curiosity. Now that things had progressed to this point, he could only nod. After all, he had done nothing wrong.
"Okay." He answered lightly.
Ji Nian silently looked at the content on the big screen as the pain in her heart started to spread. She knew the original owner's consciousness had emerged.
"Great. So the first question was raised by a netizen named 'Hidden Surge'." Liang Jie looked at the man and paused slightly before continuing, "He asked, what did you like about Ji Nian at first that made you date her?"
As soon as she uttered this, there were hoots from the audience below, all eager to know the answer.
And as the person involved, Cheng Liran was suddenly stunned as he recalled the first time he saw her.
It was one night under the warm corridor lights. The woman's originally beautiful face was heavily made up, making her look even more enchanting. She wore cheap street stall clothes, looking almost like a hostess who had come out to accompany drinking.
But oddly, her eyes when she looked at him went from vacant, to disbelief, then delight, before finally settling into a dazed look, at a loss as for how to react. She greeted him awkwardly.
