CH 60.2

We’re nearing the end of this arc!

Ah, good guy. Hiding very deeply. 

Xu Qinke said, “Then Shen Xingchen is in danger. He just walked with Ning Ze.” 

Just as he said that, a voice sounded through the broadcast channel. “In this round, Tuya, Li Xu’an, and Instructor Li are eliminated.” 

“??” 

Puzzled expressions appeared on everyone’s face. Not only was Shen Xingchen the closest to the killer, he was half poisoned yesterday. But he was fine?

Just as he was thinking, a group of people came over not far away – they happened to be Shen Xingchen and someone else. They seemed to be arguing about something while walking, and it couldn’t be heard clearly until they got closer.

Shen Xingchen said rather disgustingly, “I didn’t ask you to save me.”

Li Xu’an sighed and said, “You have artifact fragments on you, it would be better if you were alive.”

He glared at Ning Ze, and sniped at him again, “You traitor.”

Ning Ze shrugged helplessly.

As they finally reconciled, Shen Xingchen saw someone familiar far from him. The young master’s eyes lit up, then ran after them in a hurry. He shouted in an angry manner, “Ning Ze and Anran are both the assassins, we heavily paid for our mistake!” 

Shen Xingsui looked at his older brother. He looked like a puffy, angry hedgehog. 

He looked very cute when he’s all huffy like this. This was just Shen Xingchen’s character – his mind was very simple. Shen Xingsui bet that his brother would have forgiven Ning Ze in a matter of hours. 

Shen Xingchen said righteously, “I have a fragment here. Hurry up and find the rest. Let’s get our revenge, and get rid of these insidious and cunning people for the town!”

Shen Xingsui and Fu Jinxiao looked at each other.

Fu Jinxiao nodded lightly, took out all the pieces and said, “Together, we have four pieces.”

Shen Xingchen was shocked. It was only the afternoon and he (plus his groups) have only found one fragment. He originally thought they would have a grueling time ahead… but he was wrong. The total was six fragments, which means they only need to find two more fragments! 

Seeing this, Xu Qinke said in a small voice, “Actually, we both have one fragment. Our combined total is five fragments now.” 

“!!?” 

No one expected that things would go this smoothly.

However, it was Fu Jinxiao who knew the most important point. He directly asked, “How did the three of them get eliminated? How did you get poisoned yesterday? Do you have any ideas?” 

Shen Xingchen was directly stopped by the question.

He recalled it carefully, and said, “I don’t know. In fact, the three of us plus the two instructors met together at the beginning, and we just went around the town to search for the fragments. We… didn’t do anything special. We were chatting as normal, then Li Xu’an interjected a few times. Suddenly, the three of them was eliminated.” 

“…”

Several people fell into silence.

They didn’t know the assassin’s way of eliminating people, and they undoubtedly put themselves in a dangerous situation.

Shen Xingsui asked, “What are you guys talking about?”

Shen Xingchen replied honestly, despite feeling very irritated now, “Just chatting about some homework. Ning Ze asked me something about me, and finally asked me if he could go somewhere else. Before I answered, Li Xu’an and Instructor Tuya said he could go, and then we were halfway here, and they were eliminated.”

Shen Xingsui’s face also became serious: “There must be a problem, there must be something…”

Fu Jinxiao’s dark eyes dimmed slightly, and when he was thinking, the aura around him was very serious. He glanced at Shen Xingchen: “Yesterday you met Anran, what did you talk about?” 

Shen Xingchen recalled,”We didn’t talk about anything special? I think… he came over to help chop firewood, and then he disappeared.”

“Specifically.” Fu Jinxiao said in a deep voice, “What did he say?”

Shen Xingchen murmured, “He asked me if I could give him the axe, and he wanted to try it too.” 

“…”

Everyone was silent for a moment.

Then everyone suddenly realized at the same time, and said in unison, “The way to poison is to ask for permission!” 

“That or coming in contact with something the assassin touched… but either way, I didn’t think it was something like this.” Shen Xingchen grumbled. 

Everyone smiled bitterly, and said with a sigh, “It’s too bad.”

But since they knew the way, there was nothing to be afraid of. They also had a map in their hands, and they followed the route directly to the last antique shop booth, and there it was. They met the stall owner and found the fragments from their hands. All six fragments were collected before sunset.

The director rejoiced, “Congratulations to the prince’s group for winning!” 

The others all came over to congratulate each other. Shen Xingchen hit Ning Ze but forgave his good friend very quickly. His temper came and went quickly. Their relationship was good, so there’s no way this kind of game would devolve into a petty grudge. 

As for the audience comments, they were happy and moved by the finale.     

[It’s too difficult to win.]

[If it weren’t for Suisui’s analysis, they would have to search for the fragments like headless chickens.] 

[No need to say anything more. Fu-ge MVP!]

[I think Suisui has a fair chance as the MVP too, he’s the one who found all the locations.]

[The assassin’s power is a lot, but it’s a 2v8 for them.]

[Yup, Suisui was also locked in the tower, I think it’s admirable he was able to find the key while being trapped there.]

The first episode of the first season of “Bright Stars” came to a perfect end with the end of this game.

The director smiled and said, “It’s not easy for everyone to work hard. I believe that after these five days of getting along, everyone has also established a deep relationship. We have prepared a surprise for you all. Now, please enter the restaurant’s second floor. We have already posted your names, you just need to enter the room according to the name.” 

“…”

Although it was a “surprise”, everyone had an ominous premonition in their hearts.

During the time spent with the program group, their trust to the crew has taken a drastic dive. Simply put, they always diligently dug a pit for them. 

Shen Xingchen was the first to accept, but before he left, he put down a wave of threats, “Director, you’d better not lie to us. Otherwise, when the show is over, be careful because I’ll climb your window.” 

The director didn’t know how to answer that.     .

Everyone went up to the second floor one after another. Shen Xingsui found that his room was the first one. He hesitated, walked in, and found that there was actually a camera and a staff member sitting there, waiting for him. Seeing him coming, the staff smiled, “Please sit down.”

Shen Xingsui sat down.

The staff member pointed to the paper on the table and said: “Please write down the name of your closest and favorite person in this program group on this paper. Write down what you want to say to them. This person will get a gift in your name.” 

Shen Xingsui was taken aback, “Only one person?” 

“Yes,” The staff explained the rules to him in detail, “Ah, better make sure that your favorite person would also write down your name in return. Because, we’ll announce it publicly! If your letter isn’t requited, then it would be an embarrassing situation. You also won’t get the gift. So, please think more carefully.” 

This cheating program group was too evil. Come on!

Shen Xingsui was confused after listening to it. It was quite difficult to write this letter. When it comes to the person closest to him, of course it is his brother Shen Xingchen, but when it comes to the person he likes the most… of course, it is his idol.

But the question is, will Fu Jinxiao choose Shen Xingsui in return?

He has been friends with Tuya and Teacher Li for many years. Logically speaking, he should choose them, not him, a junior who he has only known for less than half a year.

So Shen Xingsui shouldn’t have any wishful thinking, otherwise when his result was unrequited… then it would be tremendously embarrassing. Plus, he didn’t want to make things difficult for Fu Jinxiao. 

“…”

The staff urged, “Please write quicker. We have a time limit here.” 

He had no time to hesitate. After a deep sigh, he filled Shen Xingchen’s name. 

The staff took a look at the list and said to Shen Xingsui, “Are you sure?”

Shen Xingsui nodded.

“Okay, please go out and wait.”

“Alright.”

After coming out, other people came out slowly. Everyone looked at each other, with the same question plaguing inside their mind. 

Shen Xingchen came out from inside his room and asked, “Who did you write?” 

Shen Xingsui could only smile, “Well, let’s wait for the announcement.” 

Not long after, the director came out rolling a cart full of gift bags. With a smile on his face, he said, “Congratulations to everyone who has completed the challenge, so now let’s announce the list of people who have received letters and gifts.” 

Everyone held their breath. 

A staff member read the cue card in his hand. “First of all, Xu Qinke, congratulations on receiving a letter and a gift.”

Xu Qinke smiled and bowed to everyone, “Thank you.”

The staff member said with a smile, “The person you selected has also sent you a letter, congratulations!”

Xu Qinke turned around and hugged Feng Fan, both of them smiled.

The staff began to read the list of the remaining personnel:

“Shen Xingchen, congratulations on receiving two letters and two gifts.”

“Shen Xingsui, congratulations on receiving two letters and two gifts.”

The staff looked at the two and smiled and said, “Congratulations, the person you selected also sent you a letter in return.” 

Shen Xingsui and Shen Xingchen shared a high-five.

Then, Shen Xingsui subconsciously looked in Fu Jinxiao’s direction, feeling a little apprehensive and speculative. He didn’t know who Fu Jinxiao had given his letter to, but he was curious.

Sitting on the sofa not far away, the lazy Actor Fu peeked at him with a meaningful look. 

Shen Xingsui inexplicably felt that there was a sharp edge behind his back, which made him feel he was in danger. 

Fortunately, the staff continued to read: “Mr. Fu, congratulations on receiving the two letters and two gifts. But unfortunately, the person you selected did not choose you. “

“…”

Then, everyone fell quiet. 

Almost in an instant, everyone’s gaze focused on Fu Jinxiao. Things suddenly become more interesting. 

Tuya was the first to cover her smile, “E-even this Actor Fu… fell into an unrequited love? Pfft–” 

Instructor Li was also ruthless enough to laugh at his friend, “Although I chose you, and was unrequited, I feel so fine right now. Bahahaha!! So sad, I guess you’re in a more difficult position compared to me.” 

Sitting on the sofa, Fu Jinxiao calmly accepted the onlookers. He gave both of his “friends” a scary smile, but his tone was still gentle, “Is it so funny?”

Both of them nodded in unison, and replied, “It’s so funny!”

“…”

This is a legendary story!

That’s Fu Jinxiao – the man who is known as the national male god and has won the most popular award for five consecutive years! And there’s still a day when his letter was “unrequited”!! Amazing!! 

The audience in the live broadcast room was even more in an uproar. 

[Hahaha, sisters. Fu-ge is so sad, but I can’t stop laughing!] 

[I’m laughing to death. Who is this heroic person who didn’t select him? You’re very brave!!]

[Refusing my sweet Fu-ge? Damn, legendary.]

[I’m very curious now, who is it?]

[Hahaha, director, hurry up and announce the name, or I won’t be able to feel at ease for all day!]
