I raise furry animals and fly them to my motherland.

Chapter 198 I'll deal with you one by one!
Ming Xueying sprang up from the woman's lap with a "whoosh," her movements so agile that she didn't seem like someone who was "unconscious" at all.

"I'm all better! Completely healed!"

Ming Xueying clutched her burning back and backed away, saying, "Thank you so much, this...this miracle doctor!"

The woman, still eager to showcase the profound ancient medical skills of her village to the television cameras, held up the silver needles, wanting to demonstrate them further.

"Beautiful lady, don't be shy. Shall I give you a 'three-needle acupuncture to refresh you' to solidify your results?"

"No, no, no!"

Ming Xueying hid behind Jia Yao, the burning pain in her back making her grimace.

She secretly touched her back and felt that her skin was covered in raised ridges, probably from the "sha" (a type of skin rashes).

Now it was obvious to everyone that Ming Xueying had been faking fainting.

More and more people in the live stream chat are questioning Ming Xueying.

[Is Ming Xueying faking fainting? She previously said she was different from those weak, delicate girls, but now she's faking it—doesn't she feel ashamed?!]

[Oh my god, did she deliberately faint in Jia Yao's arms? Didn't we say we were best buddies?]

[Haha, I know girls like that too. They all say they're good buddies, but they don't get along with girls and get along better with guys. Actually, they're quite cunning.]

[Hilarious! She even glanced at Jia Yao's position as she fell down—a perfect attempt to stage an accident!]

[Live-streamed variety shows, no editing allowed, did it backfire?]

The fans at the scene were furious.

"Ming Xueying, stay away from Jia Yao!" The fan site admin, holding a telephoto lens, immediately spoke up, "Don't you have any shame about faking fainting to create a CP (couple pairing)?"

Jia Yao's expression stiffened slightly when he heard the fans' screams.

Ming Xueying had completely removed her makeup. Facing the camera, she instinctively tried to hide behind Jia Yao, but just as she reached out her hand—

Jia Yao sidestepped, avoiding the attack.

She missed her target, stumbled a couple of steps, and almost fell into the prop box next to her.

There was silence.

The comments section erupted in laughter.

[Hahaha, Jia Yao's dodging speed is amazing! He must have practiced the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique)!]

[Brother: Don't touch me.jpg]

[The fan site admin just shouted "Stay away from the brother!" and Jia Yao immediately put it into practice. Hilarious!]

Ming Xueying blushed with embarrassment. When she looked up, she was met with a close-up shot from the production team—her dull face, her poorly drawn eyebrows, and the dark circles under her eyes from staying up all night were all clearly captured.

Holy crap, this bare face... Wasn't she marketed as a "goddess of natural beauty" before?

[The filter is shattered, I suggest renaming it "The Bare-Faced Ghost" / Funny]

She hurriedly lowered her head and shrank into the corner.

However, what's even more embarrassing is—

Every time she tried to sneak closer to Jia Yao, Jia Yao would "just happen" to turn around, or "suddenly" need to go to the other side to get something, perfectly avoiding her approach.

Barrage of comments——

[Jia Yao: Keeping distance starts with me]

[The extent to which the older brother is avoiding suspicion is as if he's running from a plague.]

[Ming Xueying: Weak, pitiful, but good at pretending]

Meanwhile, the actress teams competing with Ming Xueying and the gossipy internet marketing accounts have already started working overtime to make videos, causing the female celebrity with excellent public image to suffer a setback!

This is a super hot topic!
The focus of the bonfire party was entirely on Xu Ying and Ming Xueying, while Yao Yingzhe, the senior actor, was barely noticeable for most of the time. Popular actor Jiang Mo was even less noticeable, sitting there like a mascot.

Villagers performed various acrobatics and played musical instruments. As the recording drew to a close, Yao Yingzhe, sitting among the guests, clapped his hands with a smile and said in a gentle but firm tone, "Xiao Ye, I heard you studied folk dance before? And even won a gold medal?"

"Since I'm wearing this exotic outfit today, why don't I show it off to everyone?"

Ye Jie's face was slightly pale, and she forced a smile: "Teacher Yao, I twisted my ankle when I was getting off the camel, so I probably can't jump..."

Yao Yingzhe frowned for a moment, then relaxed, his tone carrying the "concern" of an elder: "Oh dear, young people shouldn't be so delicate."

"Back when we were filming, we'd still go through wire work even with broken bones. Besides, the audience is really looking forward to it, you can't let them down, can you?"

His words were perfectly worded, making him appear "dedicated" while subtly implying that Ye Jie was not professional enough.

The atmosphere at the scene instantly became subtle.

Netizens also found it unbelievable. The desert night is so cold, wouldn't someone catch a cold wearing an afternoon dance costume?

Now that Ming Xueying has attracted the attention of netizens, Ye Jie doesn't seem so annoying anymore.

And now Yao Yingzhe has gone even further.

[Ming Xueying's performance was already "spectacular," and now 0 people want to see Ye Jie dance.]

[Uncle Yao today was really...emm, I already felt uncomfortable with his long-winded lectures, and now he's using his seniority to force people to dance.]

[Yao Yingzhe's words remind me of some bosses at drinking parties who have a strong paternalistic attitude: If you don't drink, you're disrespecting me.]

[Stop acting like a spoiled brat. You twisted your ankle and still want to dance. Who do you think you are, making people do whatever you want?]

Ye Jie was caught in a dilemma, and was just about to grit her teeth and endure it when Xu Ying suddenly spoke up with a smile—

"Teacher Yao is right, we really can't be careless with our performances."

She turned to look at Ye Jie, blinked, and said, "But the foot injury is definitely affecting my performance. How about... we try a different approach?"

Yao Yingzhe looked at the minor internet celebrity with disdain, a hint of arrogance creeping into his eyes: "Oh? What method?"

Xu Ying smiled innocently: "Since Ye Jie is not able to dance, why don't we ask Teacher Yao to demonstrate? You are a senior with rich experience, and any of your demonstrations will be enough for us to learn."

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Yao Yingzhe's expression froze.

The netizens who were just angry felt a sense of satisfaction in an instant.

[Xu Ying! My internet mouth double!]

[Hahaha, Yao Yingzhe's face turned green! Station Chief Xu, who doesn't work in the entertainment industry and has a secure government job, certainly has the confidence!]

Let him jump! Let him jump!

As Xu Ying spoke, he led the applause, and the villagers of Xicun, suppressing their laughter, joined in the cheering. They were now on the side of Station Chief Xu, and they would support whatever Xu Ying said!
Yao Yingzhe chuckled twice, waved his hand, and said, "I'm getting old, my arms and legs are too weak to jump around anymore..."

Xu Ying blinked, then suddenly gave a mysterious smile: "Teacher Yao is right, as you get older, you really need to act within your capabilities. But..."

She clapped her hands lightly and called to the five little fennec foxes in the distance, "Little ones, come and set an example for Teacher Yao!"

As soon as the words were spoken, five cheerful and lively fennec fox cubs poked their heads out, their pointed ears twitched, and then they came running over with their short legs.

They also had mini red ribbons tied around their necks, which Xu Ying had prepared in advance and put in her handbag before going on the show, making them look like five cheerful little Yangko dancers.

Xu Ying took out her phone and started playing a cheerful Yangko tune.

The five fox cubs immediately perked up their ears and started swaying to the rhythm.

Its round little bottom swayed back and forth, its front paws mimicked human gestures of bowing, and its tail swung like five blooming dandelions.

The scene was instantly melted by cuteness!
