Gu Wei stared at the barrage of comments scrolling across the screen of his tablet, nearly dropping the tablet with how hard he trembled.

So Jiang Xun had already heard Gu Wei's proclamation split the sky back then. Did that mean… when they met up later that night…

Gu Wei watched as the him on the screen turned to the director, looking a little sheepish, and said, "Director, cut that out later, okay? I'm sorry, I just… got a little carried away. This really has nothing to do with Jiang Xun at all."

Director Zhang had even included that line in the footage that aired. Wasn't Director Zhang supposed to be a good, smart, and reasonable man?

"We blew half our budget on these guests, we're not cutting out a single line. Our guests have to earn their keep," Director Zhang said into a camera that was recording his reaction. "We'll just cut out the audio or something. Let people guess what he said."

The comments, at that—

[Let us guess??? What kind of monster are you???]

[Did Gu Wei shout something that couldn't be broadcast?]

[So let's think about it from that angle. What kind of thing can't be broadcast? Something not suitable for children?]

[Director Zhang is really getting his money's worth. Gu Wei is seriously worth every penny! Who says our didi doesn't have any on-screen charisma? He's full of charisma, okay?]

[Now the question is… what not-suitable-for-children thing did Jiang Xun do to Gu Wei?]

[Director Zhang, we're all lining up to send you cash, so tell us what isn't suitable for children.]

[When Gu Wei said it had nothing to do with Jiang Xun, I felt like didi's eyes were a little shifty. I think it has everything to do with Jiang Xun after all!]

[The way his lips moved… why do I think it looks like he said 'big pervert'?]

[Wait, you might be onto something…]

[Nobody touch me, I'm shipping, I'm shipping this, I'm shipping this so hard. These two have been shippable since the last installment!]

As Gu Wei watched the program, his face grew redder and redder. It was a good thing there was no one else in the room to see his reaction.

The viewers set aside the issue of Gu Wei's bleeped out line for the time being as the screen cut over to Bei Ke and Qian Yining. Qian Yining was being chased around by a swarm of palace maids who were trying to get her dressed in a royal princess's gown. Qian Yining fled like crazy, loudly denouncing Director Zhang the whole time.

Finally, the comments started to focus on discussing the plot of the episode instead of the famous 'celebrity hit list' scene. But then the scene changed again, now showing footage of Gu Wei and Shi Xinyan deciding to avoid one of Director Zhang's checkpoints by scaling a nearby wall.

Viewers hadn't expected these two to come up with a solution like that. They were almost out of their minds with glee.

[This scene is going to be famous too! How is this variety show doing this? Our group's two precious little brothers are so cool and handsome, and yet they've turned into complete morons on this show. I bet Director Zhang is up to something.]

[Gu Wei seems so sweet and well-behaved, but look at him get up that wall! He zipped up there in the blink of an eye! Oh, and I felt bad for the alpaca for like 0.1 seconds.]

[As soon as I finish watching this, I'm going to check out T.ATW's social media pages. I swear, from this day on, I'm a T.ATW fan. These guys are just too freaking cute!]
