93: Chapter 93 Without you, who will still make us laugh?

"What do you know? I'm going to be on a variety show!"

"What variety show?"

"Ever heard of 'Voice of Nature'?" Chi Zhao ignored his aching mouth and started posturing.

He looked just like a proud toad.

"Hmph, a friend of mine has already contacted the director for me. The people competing on that show are all top-tier talents and A-listers!"

"I know, that star was trending on the search rankings a couple of days ago," Xia Ningle gossiped.

"Exactly. Because that Li Feng guy behaved inappropriately, the show is short on people now."

"It just so happens I have a friend who knows the Production Team."

Chi Zhao took a sip of his drink, his expression saying, 'You get it, right?'

"Don't tell me your friend can get you on the show?"

"Of course! Who else could it be but me?"

If his mouth hadn't been scalded, he would have probably dropped a rap to liven things up.

Chen Yu and Su Lingyin looked at each other and smiled.

The others, not knowing the situation, were full of confusion.

Shen Yanzhou was baffled and asked, "What are you guys talking about? What 'Voice of Nature'? Why would they invite Chi Zhao? Have they lost their minds?"

Shen Yanzhou's thinking was clear; he immediately caught the key point.

Just how desperate would the Production Team have to be to invite Chi Zhao?

"Could it be that 'Voice of Nature' is actually 'Voice of a Toad'?"

[Pfft! You are the company you keep—being near Chen Yu makes you way too witty!]

[Nothing wrong with that! He definitely is a toad lusting after swan meat. Chi Zhao must not know yet that they've already picked Chen Yu.]

[Chi Zhao: Now that I know the truth, my tears fall down~]

Chi Zhao was very unhappy. Suppressing his anger, his voice became a bit hoarse: "What do you mean, toad? I, Chi Zhao, am a rapper!"

"With that crappy voice of yours? Everyone in the world knows except you," Shen Yanzhou sighed.

"It's a virtue to have some self-awareness."

Rong Shuwan quietly watched them clash. She couldn't get a word in, nor did she want to.

Communication between people should be natural; you shouldn't think someone has a problem just because two parties don't get along.

She had done her homework, and at the very least, she felt Shen Yanzhou had a point.

Suddenly, Xia Ningle shouted, "'Voice of Nature' says they've already finalized their choice!"

Chi Zhao gave a disdainful smile.

"Tell them who this person is!"

"Chen Yu!"

"That's right, it's me, Chi—"

"What?!" Chi Zhao shrieked like a screaming chicken.

"Impossible! How could it be Chen Yu?!"

When he saw the smile on Chen Yu's face, he suddenly realized!

"You knew all along, didn't you!"

Chen Yu nodded. "So you're not completely brainless after all."

"Then why didn't you say so earlier?!"

Hearing Chi Zhao's questioning, Chen Yu simply smiled slightly. "If I told you early, how could I watch you show off?"

[Haha, Chen Yu's heart is definitely black, but I love it!]

[Doesn't Chi Zhao love to act up? Chen Yu just silently built a stage for him.]

[Turns out Chen Yu is a good guy! I misjudged him!]

Chi Zhao looked like a drowned rat!

"You guys are bullies!!!"

Chen Yu had already reached an agreement with the 'Voice of Nature' Production Team. The director would personally sign the contract with him tomorrow.

It just so happened that the director's home was in the Magic City.

The filming location for the show was also in the Magic City.

Chen Yu looked at Chi Zhao with a bit of pity. "How about you come with me to meet the director tomorrow? Even if you can't get in, at least you can see what he looks like. It'll make it easier for you to brag to your friends later."

Chi Zhao gave a dry laugh. "Oh, thank you so much!"

There was no way he was going!

Wouldn't that be like getting slapped in the face in person?

You think I'm stupid?!

"Actually, even if you went on the show, you wouldn't be able to sing."

"Why?"

"Because you're retiring from the music industry in half a month. Well, strictly speaking, you're retiring from the rapper circle."

Upon Chen Yu's explanation, Chi Zhao remembered that bet.

He almost spat out a mouthful of blood! This was a total psychological blow!!!

"I want to duel you!!"

"Don't any of you try to stop me!"

Chen Yu pointed at everyone. "No one is stopping you."

"Why would I duel you? Just to waste my time?" Chen Yu shrugged.

[That sentence really hurts. Isn't Chi Zhao just a waste of food and air? There's no need to go that far.]

"Wouldn't it be better if I used that time to eat more?"

"You're just afraid of me!"

"That's right, I'm so scared of you. I was bitten by a dog when I was a kid, so I get scared whenever I see you~"

[Pfft, I really love Chen Yu's mouth! He's so witty!]

[For a moment, I can't tell if he's insulting Chi Zhao or insulting the dog!]

[I'm a dog, and I don't agree with Chen Yu calling me Chi Zhao!]

"Are you calling me a dog?!"

Chen Yu shook his head. "I'm saying the dog is you. Sorry, I just insulted the dog!"

Chi Zhao was so angry he started flailing his arms and legs.

"Someone, help! Save me! There's an unleashed dog here! What's the number for 110 again?!"

[Is Chen Yu trying to kill me with laughter so he can inherit my high-interest loans? The kind that costs three cents a day.]

[Truth be told, seeing Chi Zhao like this really reminds me of when I was bitten by a dog as a kid.]

[Chi Zhao is about to pounce, run!]

"Don't be afraid, Chen Yu. Barking dogs don't bite!" Shen Yanzhou said steadily.

Let everyone see what a mature and stable man looks like!

[Wow, Shen Yanzhou is so manly!]

[Wow! Shen Yanzhou is so knowledgeable!]

Chen Yu agreed wholeheartedly. "Then I'm not afraid anymore."

"Everyone, don't be scared. Chi Zhao doesn't bite. Just keep eating and drinking."

Chi Zhao: Heh!

Xia Ningle was so amused by them that she burst out laughing, a "cluck-cluck-cluck" sound like a hen crowing.

"I'm challenging you!"

"Just sit down and stop being so difficult. It wasn't easy for everyone to get together like this. Why do you insist on performing? Save it for when you go home for the New Year and perform for your relatives."

[Chen Yu is so malicious. Is he trying to make Chi Zhao drive all his relatives away with this move?]

"Haha, stop making me laugh! I still want to eat my meat!" Xia Ningle covered her mouth, unable to stop laughing.

The others were also laughing more or less.

Only one person was being laughed at.

#TheCottageCollectiveExclusion#

#MaleGuestLaughedAtByEveryone#

"I can't take it anymore!!!" Chi Zhao felt like he was about to explode.

"Even if you can't take it, you have to. After all, you've signed the contract. If you leave The Cottage... who else will make us laugh! Hahaha!"

"I'll start the laughing toast. I'm finishing my drink, you guys do as you please!"

"I'll join you!"

[I'll join too!]

After Chen Yu finished speaking, he stood up and continued his work as the grill master.

Su Lingyin walked over and said with concern, "Don't be angry anymore."

"I'm not angry, really. How can a person lower themselves to a dog's level, right?"

Su Lingyin thought about it carefully. "You have a point."

[Pfft! These two really are a match made in heaven, a perfect pair!]

[If Chi Zhao knew his goddess evaluated him like that, would he go and bang his head against a wall?]

[I don't know about the rest, but I'm laughing my head off. Thanks, Chi Zhao! 666!]

[I'm Chi Zhao, laugh at me while you still can! Skr~]
