Chapter 103: Punished with a Self-Reflection Essay
Pei Yan turned his head to gaze at Qin Yun, his fingertips gently rubbing his phone, "Is there anything you’d like to say?"Qin Yun was engrossed in replying to messages, and without lifting her head, she answered, "Say what? Nothing to say."
"Really nothing?" Pei Yan asked.
Qin Yun looked up at him, puzzled. Is there something wrong with him?
She had already said no, yet he kept asking.
Could he really be so clueless?
With this thought in mind, Qin Yun almost reached out to feel his forehead, sincerely advising, "Are you okay? If something’s up, don’t keep it bottled up, seek help instead..."
"..."
Pei Yan’s gaze at Qin Yun grew deeper, and her hand froze in place, muttering as she complained, "No good deed goes unpunished."
Soon after, she saw Pei Yan picking up his phone, waving it in front of her, raising his eyebrows as he looked at her, "Aren’t you planning to say anything?"
Displayed on the screen was the tweet she had sent to prank Pei Yan.
Qin Yun immediately understood; no wonder she had been found out.
No wonder Pei Yan kept asking her the same question earlier.
She withdrew her hand, sat obediently by the side, blinking innocently, "Say what? Isn’t this what you asked me to post? I didn’t post anything else, just helping you respond to fans."
Pei Yan put his phone away, nodding thoughtfully, "Makes sense."
Qin Yun immediately beamed, her eyes twinkling, she sidled up cheekily, "Right? I’ve worked so hard to carry out your orders, don’t you think I deserve a little reward?"
"What do you want?" Pei Yan asked patiently.
Qin Yun counted on her fingers, "Hmm, I’d like to eat at the restaurant one more time before going back."
Pei Yan nodded, "Sure."
"And a lot of snacks! I found the snacks here so tasty, and there are many I haven’t tried yet." Qin Yun continued counting her fingers.
Pei Yan kept nodding, "Alright."
Seeing Pei Yan being so agreeable, Qin Yun thought about the hidden snack spot. There was nowhere she could stow a lot of them at the moment, so she blinked her twinkling eyes, giving an ingratiating smile, "Next time on variety shows, stash some snacks for me, okay?"
Pei Yan smiled mysteriously, "Okay."
Seeing him agree to everything, Qin Yun became a bit apprehensive, a trace of concern flashed across her eyes, and she asked hesitantly, "Pei Yan, are you really okay? Really nothing wrong?"
"I’m fine, I can agree to all these things you mentioned, but..." Pei Yan paused mid-sentence.
Hearing him say he was fine and agreeing to her requests filled her with surprise and joy as she gazed at him.
But hearing the word "but," she immediately widened her eyes. She knew Pei Yan couldn’t have agreed so easily!
Sure enough, this is the real Pei Yan!!
Even knowing he had conditions, Qin Yun could only pout, droop her shoulders, and reluctantly ask, "But what?"
Pei Yan kept his eyes on Qin Yun, noticing the flicker of worry in her eyes, amusement glinted in his, "But you have to post a tweet saying I’m a pig, a silly pig."
"Forget it, I don’t want any of it anymore, I’m not a pig! I’ll never be a pig in my life!!" Qin Yun retorted, then as if recalling something, immediately added, "And definitely not a silly pig!"
She is the most noble and unique Taotie in the world!
How could she possibly be a pig!
And a silly pig!
What are you thinking!
At worst, she’ll just eat a little less!
If she gets too hungry, she’ll just bite Pei Yan!
"Seems a bit inappropriate, but because of the tweet you posted, my image has collapsed. How will my fans see me in the future? You have to compensate me somehow, right?" Pei Yan seemingly considered her predicament and said, "Or, you can publicly apologize on Weibo and admit you were wrong. If you don’t want to post on Weibo, you can write a review of tonight’s events, and I’ll fulfill the three wishes you mentioned."
Qin Yun seriously pondered; apologizing now might help divert attention for her former manager, but if she apologized ambiguously, others might think she had done something wrong.
She immediately shook her head, no, no, this won’t do.
But she didn’t want to write a review either!!
However, if she didn’t write it, Pei Yan definitely wouldn’t stash snacks for her, and the show would be filmed for so long, she might starve without food!
To write or not to write?
Qin Yun bit her lip in contemplation.
Then, she glanced at Pei Yan from the corner of her eye; maybe writing the review was the better option?
"Have you decided?" Pei Yan directly met her gaze, raising his eyebrows to ask.
Seeing no change in his stance, Qin Yun lowered her eyes in defeat, replying with resignation, "I’ll write it."
Then she saw Pei Yan really went to get paper and pen, placing them in front of her, handing her the pen, gesturing for her to start writing.
"..."
Qin Yun looked speechless at Pei Yan’s gesture for her to write.
There was really no need to rush.
The two of them stood there in a stalemate for a while. Qin Yun silently took the pen, and when she looked up, her eyes filled with tears as she ’tearfully’ gazed at Pei Yan, hoping he would show some mercy.
However, Pei Yan directly looked away from her.
He actually looked away!!!
Qin Yun instantly dropped her expression, and as if in frustration, angrily wrote down the words—Reflection Essay.
Soon, she tossed the completed reflection essay to Pei Yan, "Is this okay now?"
Qin Yun had already decided that one day she would make Pei Yan write a reflection essay too.
No, once isn’t enough.
At least ten times!
Only then would her anger be appeased this time.
After reading it, Pei Yan chuckled, carefully folded the reflection essay Qin Yun had written, put it in his pocket, and then looked up saying, "Do you want to eat lunch that I send you for before your interview tomorrow, or should I pick you up after your interview to have dinner? By the way, your car is still with me; it’s already registered."
Qin Yun pouted; is Pei Yan planning to carry it with him, so he can mock her anytime he wants?
"If you have lunch, can’t you have dinner too?" Qin Yun, like an annoyed cat, extended her claws, ready to scratch him if Pei Yan said no.
"You can. Just right after your interview, let’s go have dinner, then head to the airport to catch a flight to C Province," Pei Yan reminded.
"Oh." Qin Yun lifted her gaze lazily and nestled back into the sofa to continue watching the variety show.
Seeing that Qin Yun was not in a good mood, Pei Yan thought for a few seconds and skillfully picked up his phone to send a message.
At this moment, on TV, the group had already finished buying seafood and was on their way back, that’s when everyone realized a problem.
It seemed they had forgotten Wang Sirui...
[I thought they wanted to wait until after the competition to get Wang Sirui, but it turns out they all forgot? Hahaha, feeling sorry for Wang Sirui for three seconds.]
[This is the perfect time for a heart-wrenching close-up of Wang Sirui, paired with a sad song, perfect.]
[Reasonable suspicion, if Leqi hadn’t suddenly mentioned Wang Sirui, they might’ve already gone into the store, while Wang Sirui was forgotten at the work site, still diligently working, unaware that Qin Yun had already made enough money.]
[Hahaha, poor boy, feeling sorry for three seconds, just three, can’t give more.]
[Though it’s a bit pathetic, it’s incredibly funny.]
The production team specially split the screen to broadcast simultaneously.
All the netizens saw Qin Yun and her group sitting in the car, heading to Wang Sirui’s work location.
At this time, Wang Sirui, still unaware, was striking all sorts of graceful poses, seeming to enjoy himself a lot.
[Hahaha, here they come, they are coming, live broadcasting the awkward moment of discovery.]
[Dying of laughter, Wang Sirui probably never thought after cross-dressing, wearing those accessories, he’d face an awkward moment again, feeling sorry for my Sirui for three seconds.]
[Hahaha, every awkward moment Wang Sirui has belongs to this show. Doesn’t the director consider giving him a pay raise? Sacrifices seem huge.]
[Wang Sirui pretending to stay calm is kind of cute!!]
[Is Qin Yun planning to eat whatever she earns today? Ordering so many dishes, they’re only five people...]
[The others didn’t even object?? Just letting Qin Yun order like that?]
[Goodness, this is treatment like the team favorite!! Qin Yun ordered so much, and no one objected, they earned just over a thousand, working hard all morning, just to eat this meal? From my experience, their money surely won’t cover this meal.]
[Confirmed as the team favorite!! This meal must cost two to three thousand? They only earned a bit over a thousand, yet not a single one voiced objection? Only asked if they could use private funds!! The world of the rich, I don’t get it.]
[Whenever the director opens his mouth, I have a bad feeling.]
[Here he comes, here he comes, the director comes with his tricks, who is he planning to mess with this time.]
[The director is like a big bad wolf, and Qin Yun’s group is like innocent, weak little red riding hood, wagging its tail, tempting little red riding hood, 233333...]
[Indeed, there’s no such thing as a free lunch... especially with this show’s director.]
[To make sure Qin Yun is full, the guests are going all out, borrowing money surely isn’t easy...]
[Ahh, barely started warming up to Qin Yun, now I’m a bit annoyed! Just for a meal, spending all the money the guests worked hard for, and borrowing money from the show to eat, it’s frustrating.]
[If I remember correctly, most of the money was earned by Qin Yun, right? With that thousand, Qin Yun could buy lots of stuff, really?]
[So many tasty dishes, making me drool.]
[Ahh, watching this makes me hungry, want to eat. Drooling.jpg]
[This isn’t just eating a little, it’s an ultra little!!]
[Leqi... if you keep eating like this, after the show ends, if you haven’t gained ten pounds, I’ll change my name backwards.]
[I think both methods from Chen Yao and Wang Sirui work, one could wash dishes to pay off debt, another could attract customers with charm at the hotel entrance, so wouldn’t owe the show money, hahahaha...]
[That’s a good plan, very suitable for the two of them.]
Qin Yun was starting to get a bit hungry just watching the show when she heard Pei Yan’s phone ring, and then saw him head out.
