Chapter 598: Mysterious Special Guest - The Entire Audience Goes Wild!
Hu Pei wanted exactly this kind of show effect.Satisfied to see the guests' bewildered expressions, Hu Pei cleared his throat and said, "As it happens, our special guest has recently been filming a cultural tourism promotional short for the 20XX National Youth Games in Rong City. His superb skiing skills are more than enough to serve as everyone's ski instructor for this event. Now, let him show us the correct way to enjoy this fun activity -"
"Wow, there's actually a performance segment?"
The guests were absolutely stunned.
As the "clueless funny guy" playing the straight man, Liang Cheng naturally chimed in, "Wait, it feels like a big shot is coming. Who is it exactly?"
Zhou Nanye also wore an expression of "competitive drive": "I only have one question - is he better looking than me?"
Hu Pei was brutally straightforward: "Better looking than Teacher Zhou. And Teacher Zhou, you've publicly admitted it yourself."
Zhou Nanye was shocked: "What? Is there someone in the entertainment industry whose looks I've actually acknowledged?"
Because his expression was so over-the-top, it instantly made everyone burst into laughter.
"Dear viewers, you all know me. I, Zhou Nanye, have always had a hard mouth. I would never admit anyone is better looking than me." Zhou Nanye said this very seriously into the camera.
"Hahaha -"
Xin Yiran was covering her mouth with her hand, laughing on the side.
Wu Chuyi joined in the laughter too.
He was a bit slow with words, tended to say things with low emotional intelligence, and easily lost people's favor, so his team had told him to talk less and do more, to avoid saying more and making more mistakes.
So the group started looking forward to it.
And the mysterious special guest did not disappoint their expectations.
On a distant steep slope, a red figure quickly swept down from above.
"Wow, he's coming, he's coming -"
Everyone lifted their heads to look.
Then they saw the figure, as he passed through the midsection of the slope, suddenly use the prepared jump platform beside him. He crouched, grabbed his board, and launched himself upward, tracing an elegant arc through the air with an exceptionally flexible and effortless posture. Finally, he landed steadily and slowed down, rushing toward the pool of water beside them at a relatively gentle speed.
Still, everyone instinctively backed away and spread out, keeping a safe distance from the pool to avoid being splashed by the water. But they were stunned to discover that when he passed over the pool, he seemed as light as a feather, barely creating any splash. It was like he was skiing on solid ground - smooth and fluid - leaving only a series of ripples trailing behind him, proving the pool was real.
The next moment, the man who had successfully glided across the pool simply twisted his foot, turning both his snowboard and his body around, stopping steadily right in front of everyone, almost completely dry.
"Holy shit -"
One of the guest stars blurted out words that would definitely need to be censored.
The others also displayed their own astonishment and admiration.
"Who is this?"
"Is he an artist? Or a professional athlete? His skills are good enough to compete!"
"Has anyone heard of a professional skier switching over?"
"Do you know him?"
"I have no idea."
"But he's definitely not from the industry. Who would actually work this hard..."
While they were chattering away with discussion, the special guest, still wearing his helmet, crouched down to remove his snowboard. Standing there with one hand holding his board upright and the other on his hip, he quietly watched them.
His ski suit accentuated his narrow waist and long legs, making him look incredibly handsome, exuding the aura of a true boss. Even just standing there casually, he completely awed the crowd. The guests, who had been about to throw out a few more guesses, somehow fell silent without another word.
Someone with this kind of intimidating presence... there probably weren't many in the industry...
A thought flashed through Liang Cheng's mind. Comparing the person in front of him, he found himself thinking this figure looked more and more familiar. But remembering that their previous invitation for Xiao He to be a permanent cast member had been rejected, Liang Cheng wasn't entirely sure.
Hu Pei, on the other hand, introduced him with a beaming smile: "This one, I believe everyone here is familiar with."
"Director Hu, don't keep us in suspense. Hurry up."
One impatient guest star urged out of curiosity.
So the person beside Hu Pei took off his helmet with one hand, revealing a handsome and dashing face.
He smiled at everyone, his tone gentle: "Hello everyone, I am actor Xiao He. I'm very happy to be completing the activities together with all of you."
When that familiar yet unfamiliar face appeared, gasps of shock came from all around.
Xiao He was now considered a major figure with huge status in the industry. Almost as soon as he showed up, he could attract countless paparazzi to shift their targets.
There was no helping it. Ever since Xiao He's team dealt with a few paparazzi, those in the industry could barely catch any of Xiao He's daily offline moments. Even if they tracked him using his ID number, Xiao He's side would always promptly rearrange his schedule and itinerary. For paparazzi trying to chase Xiao He, it was truly like a spy warfare scene.
Later, even the well-known paparazzo Huang Mang's main account was blown up. So after a while, the paparazzi simply defaulted to avoiding Xiao He. Usually, they only earned some extra cash on the side when they happened to film other artists and Xiao He showed up.
Instead, it was Xiao He's own fans who ran into him more often.
The paparazzi, unable to make money, sometimes wondered if Xiao He was cheating. How could he be so sharp, able to sniff them out and dodge their cameras?
But now - they finally caught an opportunity!
The paparazzi, who were still stubbornly holding up their cameras to record in the snow, were already grinning like flowers blooming.
What Xin Yiran? What Wu Chuyi? What trendy young stars... None of that mattered, okay?
Even the fans who had come to see other idols couldn't help secretly shifting their cameras.
"Oh no." A young girl muttered quietly, "I was sneaking a shot of my new bias and I ran into the real deal."
Who could understand? She was a Little Box fan who had come to film other handsome guys, and ended up running into Brother Xiao himself.
This was both awkward and amazing.
And it wasn't just the fans who were shocked; several guests were pleasantly surprised too.
"No way, Brother Xiao, when did you get here?!"
Liang Cheng was both shocked and delighted. He rushed over and pulled Xiao He straight into his team.
Xiao He knew he was playing it up for the show effect and didn't refuse. He smoothly stepped into the guests' lineup while explaining to both the show and himself: "Actually, the director already mentioned it. I happened to be filming here today, and I coincidentally ran into the program team, so I came over to have some fun."
"Wow, Brother Xiao, so that thing you did just now - that swooping flip, then flying over - that was really you, right?"
Xin Yiran was so excited she was practically lost for words. Xiao He, on the other hand, smiled amiably: "Yes, didn't I take my helmet off right in front of you?"
"Ah, sorry, I didn't mean it like that. I'm just a little excited..."
Xin Yiran instantly turned into a fangirl, quietly blushing as she covered her mouth and giggled. "I'm your fan! Suddenly meeting my idol, I'm just a little excited."
She had that typical sweet-girl look. Even when making small gestures, she seemed incredibly cute and not annoying at all. At least Xiao He could feel her sincerity, so he shook hands with her very gentlemanly: "I'm happy to meet you too."
"Wuwuwu -"
Xin Yiran immediately went into full teapot mode. Her excited shriek almost startled Xiao He.
After Xin Yiran came Zhou Nanye. He walked over, clutching his chest, and made a face at the camera like a sad frog. "I was wondering who it was! Turns out it's Xiao He! Well, there's nothing to be done about it then."
Then he seized the opportunity to educate the camera about his previous story with Xiao He.
"Seriously, it was all thanks to Brother Xiao's super handsome killer portrayal back then. When it came time to pick the killer, everyone unanimously voted me out."
Zhou Nanye naturally carried the vibe of a comedian and talk show host. His animated expressions made it impossible not to laugh. "I'm telling you, the first time I played the killer, I succeeded on my first try. Do you have any idea how accomplished I felt back then?"
"What does this prove? It proves the official authority recognizes that Brother Xiao and I are on the same level in terms of looks. Isn't that right, Brother Xiao?"
Zhou Nanye then wrapped his arm around Xiao He's shoulder like old buddies.
Xiao He held back his laughter: "That's right, that's right. Officially recognized."
"Great. Viewers, friends, take a screenshot for me, okay? I'm posting this on Weibo later."
Zhou Nanye immediately puffed up with pride.
Everyone around laughed good-naturedly. The atmosphere was incredibly harmonious.
But right at that moment, someone just had to say the wrong thing -
