Chapter 290: 290: Happiness, I’m in charge
"Where is the toad? Watch me, Xiao Qing, take care of it..." The female host Nana jumped out, striking a "Wu Song fights the tiger" pose.
"Wait, there’s no tiger here, only a toad. Wu Song, you’ve got the wrong script!" Host Ma Fei also jumped out, causing mischief.
Another female host, Tian Xiang, said, "You guys stop messing around, can’t you see Xu Xian is about to cry?"
"Let’s get back on track, our male gods and goddesses have been standing here for quite a while, they are today’s stars, we shouldn’t neglect our esteemed guests." Tonghua, controlling the scene, steered the conversation back.
"Right, right, these two are today’s stars! Xiao Mazi greets Master Jiang and Master Mu, please give your orders!" Host Ma Fei playfully impersonated a eunuch from a Qing dynasty drama.
As a result, he was kicked aside by female host Nana, who ran over to Jiang Nuo and Mu Qiuniang, saying, "I’m your true fan. Male god, goddess, you must take a photo with me and give me an autograph. Tomorrow, I’ll post it on Weibo, saying I met the male god and goddess on such a day and month..."
"Brother Jiang, Sister-in-law Jiang, let me tell you, Nana’s walls at home are plastered with posters of you two. If you don’t believe me, look at the big screen!" Female host Tian Xiang revealed mysteriously.
"Oh my god! Tian Xiang, did you secretly take pictures of my house?!" Host Nana wailed, trying to stop it.
But the screen had already lit up, how could it not play?
Sure enough, one wall in Nana’s house was almost entirely covered with posters of Jiang Nuo and Mu Qiuniang. She also had a small notebook filled with records of events Jiang Nuo had attended since his debut, even with pictures attached.
"Look at this, Sister-in-law Jiang, this is your husband’s true loyal fan!" Host Tian Xiang said with a smile, "I heard Brother Jiang and Sister-in-law Jiang initiated a fan appreciation event on Weibo, I wonder if our Nana could get a piece of it?"
The female host Nana, who was previously embarrassed, immediately brightened up at the mention of benefits, jumping out: "Yes, yes, benefits, I want benefits too! Brother Jiang, Sister-in-law Jiang, you see, I love you so much, can I get a gift?"
Actually, this scene was planned beforehand with Jiang Nuo and Mu Qiuniang to give Mu Qiuniang an opportunity to calligraphy. Thus, Mu Qiuniang nodded as per the script: "Then shall I write something?"
"Great! Sister-in-law Jiang, your handwriting is praised even by Sister Jing, I absolutely must get it collected!" Female host Nana quickly instructed the staff to bring the prepared writing materials.
During this, Xu Dachang enviously muttered a few words, wondering why he didn’t get any gifts after acting with Brother Jiang and Sister-in-law Jiang for so long. Shouldn’t everyone get a share?
"You’re outta luck! You’re just a toad spirit, one day you’ll revert to your original form!" Jiang Nuo teased.
Xu Dachang was about to cry: "Can’t you just forget about this tease?"
Everyone chuckled kindly.
Mu Qiuniang soon finished writing a pair of couplets.
Upper Line: Fortune stars shine upon as fortunes greet the door;
Lower Line: Auspicious clouds rise as blessings fill the house.
"Wow! Sister-in-law Jiang truly lives up to her name, your writing is beautiful!" Host Nana exclaimed, reaching for the couplets.
As she reached out, host Tian Xiang had already taken them and put them away.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Host Nana was a bit puzzled.
"This is my hard-earned fee!" Host Tian Xiang said solemnly.
"Wasn’t it supposed to be mine?" Host Nava was stunned.
"So, it’s my hard-earned fee, you forgot, I asked Sister-in-law Jiang to write it."
Host Nana was left speechless.
Everyone burst into laughter at the scene. Host Tonghua mischievously ignored it and directly asked Mu Qiuniang to write a couplet for their team as well: "Sister-in-law Jiang, I know your writing is a treasure, with high collectible value, could you write us a couplet, so we can show off too?"
"Sure!" Mu Qiuniang generously nodded and began writing again.
Beside her, Jiang Nuo laughed while grinding ink: "Tonghua, you’re not being fair, my wife just stepped into your show and now she has to write this and that, are you using my wife as free labor?"
"Hehehe... it’s a rare opportunity, gotta get some benefits for our team!" Host Tonghua laughed.
"Seems like I’m the only one who cares about my own wife," Jiang Nuo remarked to Mu Qiuniang as she wrote, "We’ll stop after this couplet, or else you’ll write too much and your hand will hurt, my heart aches for you."
The audience roared with laughter. The male god is so warm-hearted!
Especially since Mu Qiuniang seriously nodded: "Okay!"
This couple, really!
Soon, Mu Qiuniang finished writing.
Upper Line: Ancient praises for the world, and the world sings of ancient times;
Lower Line: Heaven sings of earth, and earth praises heaven;
Horizontal Inscription: Good shows continue, continuous good shows.
Tonghua, who received the handwriting, was particularly pleased as it completed a task given by the team leader.
Apart from writing, several hosts asked Jiang Nuo if there were any fun experiences during the filming of "Fahai Doesn’t Understand Love."
Jiang Nuo said, "Not really fun, but I faced quite a lot of hardships!"
Wei Manman complained, "I’m the one who suffered more, I even ended up in the hospital, while Brother Jiang, you had it easy with your wife visiting the set, bringing you delicious meals every day."
"Didn’t you get to eat them too?" Jiang Nuo calmly glanced at her.
"I did get to eat, but your portions were the most."
Jiang Nuo disdainfully said, "That’s my wife, not yours. If you’re capable, marry one yourself."
"I’ll marry!" Xu Dachang immediately raised his hands, showing willingness.
"If I’m marrying, I’d marry the real Xu Xian. Step aside!" Wei Manman said, rejecting outright.
"Didn’t you just say no one cooks for you? Marry him, and someone will cook for you in the future." Jiang Nuo joined in on the teasing.
Host Tonghua exclaimed like discovering a new world continent, "I found a secret!"
Host Ma Fei, Nana, and Tian Xiang also chimed in, "We found it too!"
Then, the four hosts chorused an "Ohh" with great tacit understanding.
Wei Manman and Xu Dachang felt a bit awkward, exchanging glances like they were afraid of being discovered and quickly looked away. However, this moment was clearly captured by the camera, exposing a certain secret.
Since it wasn’t publicly known, the hosts didn’t make things difficult and turned the topic back to Jiang Nuo and Mu Qiuniang.
"It’s said that your crew has great benefits, Sister-in-law Jiang brings food to the set every day!"
"Yes, absolutely, Sister-in-law Jiang’s cooking is amazing, Tonghua, you have no idea, during that time it was tough, everyone else lost weight filming, but I gained five pounds, a whole five pounds." Xu Dachang complained with a bitter face.
"You don’t have to eat it." Jiang Nuo said.
Everyone echoed the sentiment.
"How could I, Sister-in-law Jiang’s food is so good, if I don’t eat, others will finish it all."
Everyone laughed, "Well, you have it tough!"
Xu Dachang shamelessly responded, "That’s right!"
