Chapter 175: Yan Qiuchi’s Strength is too Great



Shen Jintai was in a more complicated mood. He originally wanted to work so he could “recuperate”, but now that he’s “working” on a show, he suddenly felt a strong urge towards Yan Qiuchi. He thought how Yan Qiuchi looked more handsome, felt much better, and was more charming than usual. 



Feeling this way, he expected that something will happen tonight, and he was looking forward to it. He licked his lips and turned to look at Yan Qiuchi. His face was incredibly handsome as he drove wholeheartedly with his icy demeanor.



There was a camera that was installed by the crew in front of them, so Shen Jintai tried his best to behave natural as he said: “It’s the first time I’ve been to the countryside in Europe. The scenery here is really good.”



Evian is a famous tourist destination. Now that it’s spring, the drive there was full of vitality.



—



On a domestic forum.



“Has anyone seen the video of Touhua recording a variety show that broke out on Weibo?”



“Where is he? Didn’t he go abroad?”



“In Paris, on the Seine. A Chinese tour group ran into them while he was filming .”



“Whether it’s a photo or a video, please share it quickly so we can be happy together.”



Someone immediately posted a Reuters video. The video was quite long and was dimly lit. Through a group of staff member holding cameras, Shen Jintai, Zheng Siqi and the others were sitting around and chatting. Not bothering to mention Yang Lizhi and the others eighteenth-tier stars, everyone was focus on the big flow.



“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, Yan Qiuchi is next to Touhua. It’s really Yan Qiuchi!”



“I guess we finally got the stone hammer. Touhua really took the Prince to film a variety show. Damn, I’m a little excited. I guessed several times that they were going to announce their relationship, but there hasn’t been any news from the two of them yet. I thought they were just keeping a low profile, but the two actually went on a variety show! How much did the station paid to actually convince Touhua to make his relationship public on their show?!”



“This variety show is going to explode. I can’t wait to see it!”



“Compared with the big stars such as Touhua and Prince Ying, I want to see what kind of person this legendary top is!”



“Me too. I have always heard the legends of Prince Yan, but I really don’t know what he’s really like. I haven’t even heard his voice, but watching the video, he’s so handsome and his face is like a star!”



“I want to watch, I want to watch, I want to watch! When will this show be broadcast?!”



“It seems that the broadcast is about to start soon. This show has been scheduled for a long time. It should have started recording at the end of February but was delayed until now due to the Touhua couple so I heard the film crew has been rushing it.”



“Hahahaha, Touhua couple. Who made this name? It sounds pretty good.”



“The broadcast will start in mid-March. Unsurprisingly, the program team will start promoting it in two days. The first variety show to feature a gay couple in China, it’s unreasonable if it doesn’t explode!”



“If all the TV series, movies and variety shows reach the top, this means that Touhua is really awesome!”



“I’m tired of saying the word slay!”



The gold powders moved when they heard the sound.



“The control and evaluation team are ready. The anti-black powder group is ready! The topic group is ready! I have said it before, and I’ll say it again! At this point, whether you like Yan Qiuchi or not, it’s already an established fact. He and our brother are now both prosperous, so we need to put aside our personal emotions and join the battle for him!”



“Now it’s time that Brother Jin needs us. Although this relationship is well known, it has not been made public yet. In order to prevent black powder from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, everyone must pay attention to the trend of public opinion during the recent period to ensure that it will not affect Brother Jin’s career. I know that we are all fans of Brother Jin’s career!”



“Although as a fan, I shouldn’t spread the Reuters video, I’m still tempted to be a groundhog. Ahhhhhhh, I really didn’t think my brother would shoot a variety TV show, and its my favorite travel variety show to boot!”



“The catch is that my brother also brought Yan Qiuchi with him. Alas, I hope Yan Qiuchi will behave better and don’t drag my brother down. I mainly eat my brother, so I’ll watch even if it’s hard to.”



“I just beg them not to be too sweet, otherwise my heart will hurt while watching them. I still can’t accept the fact that the goose was taken away!”



“Me too. I hope he has fewer shots and less interaction with my brother and my brother will be cold to him and turn him into a licking dog. Thank you!”



“Sisters upstairs, are you not afraid of the real fragrance law?”



“Hahahaha, I’m already so fragrant. Yesterday, I searched the Internet for Yan Qiuchi’s information. He’s a complete male god. My brother is very discerning!”



“Can it be considered fragrant to Yan Qiuchi? Hahaha, my greatest tolerance is to not dislike for the sake of my bother!”



The Reuters video quickly circulated on the Internet. The relationship between Shen Jintai and Yan Qiuchi has been rumored for ages but they haven’t officially made it public yet. Once the Reuters video appeared, it was basically a stone hammer that confirms it.



However, Shen Jintai and the others were still on the road and knew nothing about it. Before leaving Paris, the crew had confiscated their phones.



They arrived in the Town of Evian a little past four in the afternoon. They were only the edge of town when the program group began their plan. Shen Jintai looked out the car winow and saw the program team’s car parked in front of them. Guo Weimin was leaning on the car, waving to them.



After stopping their car, they all got out and gathered together.



“I knew that the program team would not be so kind and would definitely make us do tasks.” Tang Ye said.



Guo Weimin smiled and said: “What do you think of the small town in front of you?”



Shen Jintai gave two thumbs up and shouted: “Beautiful!”



It truly was. The landscape and plant life are all magnificent. In the distance was the snow-capped alps that was right in front of them. Most of the homes were stone houses that had white walls and red tiles. The solemn and cold European style buildings gave off tranquility and warmth as they basked in the sun creating a tender scene.



“Today, I arranged for everyone three different hotels, but the room for each of them are not the same. Right now, I have the photos of three hotels in my hand. The size and price are all different. The good ones are very good. It includes a super luxurious suite that has it very own spa. You also have a view of the entire Lake of Le Mans. The bad room is very poor, and only has a single bed. Which room you get, determines whether you win or lose in the game we’re about to play.”



Everyone wasn’t surprised by this kind of routine. It’s impossible for the program team to just keep quiet and let them eat and play in peace. With the recording process complete, each pair sent their representative to take the photos.



“The way of the game is also very simple. Look at the photos of these hotel in my hand and try to find them in the town. The one who arrives first will get the room.”



Tang Ye and the others immediately objected when they heard this: “We can’t speak any foreign languages. When it comes to direction, Brother Chi has the advantage!”



“Our program group is fair,” Guo Weimin said with a grin: “Since Yan Qiuchi’s foreign language skills are excellent, he’ll be able to find the hotel just by asking someone. For the sake of fairness, it will be up to Shen Jintai to find it. Yan Qiuchi can only stay by his side and during this entire period he cannot speak.”



“That’s too unfair. I can’t even tell the difference north and south!” Shen Jintai wailed. He had a poor sense of direction so once he loses his direction, he wouldn’t even know which side the sun is on, let alone where he was.



“It takes two people to enter the hotel together to win. The other two pairs have girls and they definitely don’t run as fast as you two with their luggage.” The director said with a smile.



“Alright then.” Shen Jintai immediately took the suitcase out of the trunk.



With an order from the director, six people pushed their suitcases along and started running on the road. The road conditions are good, so the luggage was not too strenuous. However, Yang Lizhi wore high heels, so she ran very slowly that even Wang Siyi, who looked daintily, pass them. Yang Lizhi gritted her teeth, took off her high heels, and ran barefoot.



Zheng Siqi kept laughing while pulling two suitcases in the back. Yang Lizhi, who’s wearing a red dress, turned her head and said, “Hurry up, hurry up. This old lady* is freezing to death.”



*Old lady (老娘) = When used to refer to yourself, it’s a vulgar, conceited way for young women to refer to themselves.



After speaking, she immediately pointed to her follow-up camera and said: “Cut off “old lady”!”



Shen Jintai and Yan Qiuchi were at the front. As they were running, Shen Jintai looked at the photos. The production team had inserted this game to spice things up for the show. Everyone sights were set on the hotel with the best conditions, and he was determined to win: “This blue-domed building must be a church. We have to find the church first.”



Evian Town has a checkerboard layout. All the houses are made of stone, so they all had similar appearance. Shen Jintai was running when he suddenly stopped because he saw a particularly beautiful house that had a particularly stunning window. In the middle was two flowerpots with red flowers in them that looked entrancing. As soon as he stopped, Tang Ye and Wang Siyi jumped ahead from behind him.



Shen Jintai was shocked. Where did that delicate Wang Siyi go?!



He immediately chased wildly, Yan Qiuchi grabbed him, motioned to him to turn around and enter the alley next to him.



Shen Jintai glanced at Tang Ye and Wang Siyi who was far ahead when he heard: “You should go that way.”



Yan Qiuchi glanced at the follow-up camera next to him: “Can I speak?”



Zheng Siqi came from behind has he was pulling his luggage and pointed at him: “Foul!”



“He didn’t say anything! “Shen Jintai shouted immediately. As soon as he finished shouting, he saw Yang Lizhi carrying her high heels as she passed them like a breeze.



What’s wrong! Why does everyone suddenly look as if they’ve been injected with chicken blood!



But this would make the show better. Shen Jintai planned to listen to Yan Qiuchi’s suggestion so the two turned into the alley next to them. At the end of the alley were some steps. Before Shen Jintai had a chance to reach out to carry his suitcase, he saw Yan Qiuchi had already taken it with one hand and started walking up the steps as if he was flying, leaving Shen Jintai and the follow-up camera watching from the back stunned.



Shit. He knew Yan Qiuchi was strong but didn’t expect him to be this strong!



The program team suddenly found that they were worried for nothing. Last season, they played a game of “the negative person choosing a room”. The men would have to carry the women, either on their back or princess carry style. The pink glow was constant and there were many jokes. After the broadcast, the response was particularly good, so they had wanted to use it again, but seeing as there was a same-sex couple, and while Shen Jintai wasn’t fat by any means, he was still taller and well-proportion, that it would be tough to carry. It’s also estimated that Yan Qiuchi, a son from a rich family, wouldn’t have the strength either so the program team could only give up.



Originally, they planned to support Yan Qiuchi in case he couldn’t support himself. If he had gotten tired after a few steps, it wouldn’t be conducive to the mold they were trying to shape him in. Looking at him now, Yan Qiuchi may look thin, but in fact he turned out to be extremely strong and was full of strength!



The author has something to say：



Xiao Chi is big everywhere.



Very similar to crew cut guy, who can also hold a certain object up!



Kinky Thoughts: Couple of translations fix. I originally put Koike in my translations but just discovered that it’s actually referring to Xiao Chi (Little (Qiu)Chi.) Will fix the earlier translations when I have time.



Second fix is I translated the Bai Qingquan’s gong as buzz cut guy, but his hair style is more in line with a crew cut than a buzz cut. Will fix that in earlier translations when I have time.
