Chapter 38: Teacher Chi's Trending Constitution

"If we are to split into groups, there are seven of us in total, so how should we divide? Wouldn't that be unfair?"

After the ghosts and monsters indicated they had no problem with it, Teacher Lü raised a question.

Teacher Huang also nodded: "Also, is the grouping for a competition? What are the rewards and punishments?"

The Chief Director glanced at the ghosts and monsters and said: "The grouping is up to your own choices; this time you can form teams yourselves... As for the rewards and punishments, they will be determined by today's sales."

"The group with the higher sales can enjoy a one-day limited tour of 'Meet You: Ice and Snow Festival' tomorrow and go out to play for the day."

"The losing group will have to help the villagers plant potatoes in the greenhouse."

"A reminder to everyone: the sales revenue obtained by the groups can be distributed freely, just like last time. In other words, the money belongs to you."

Everyone: "..."

They knew it!

"Go out to play for a day..."

Jin Xia’s peach-blossom eyes twinkled as she heard this. Without hesitation, she stood behind him and said in a sweet, coquettish voice: "I want to be in the same group as Teacher Chi!"

Everyone: "..."

Yang Zi, Lin Jingyi, and even Teacher Huang were grinding their teeth so hard they were about to shatter!

No, what exactly does the Young Lady see in that loser Chi Ye?!

Of course, jealousy is jealousy, but the farce of the Scream Night had long since spread through the industry, and everyone knew that Chi Ye had now "latched onto a powerful backer."

"Then... I'll be in the same group as Chi Ye too."

Yang Zi saw his chance quickly; he feigned hesitation, his true intentions revealed.

Everyone squinted at him.

Chi Ye shook his head: "No."

Yang Zi: "?!"

Is the targeting this obvious?!

Chi Ye: "The country has explicit regulations prohibiting the employment of child labor."

Yang Zi: "..."

"Chi Ye is right. Why are you squeezing in with the young people? Come over to our side."

Teacher Huang grabbed Yang Zi—Lü Xiaoming would definitely be with Lin Jingyi, and adding him, that made three: two old folks plus one delicate young girl. Someone had to do the work!

Yang Zi, you just come and do the work!

Yang Zi sneered, but he didn't refuse.

Fine, fine, fine. Do not bully the poor in their old age—the dead are the most important—even if I go to the underworld, I’ll drag you all down with me!

Chi Ye noticed Yang Zi’s strange behavior from the side, swept a glance at the four people opposite, and confirmed: "We’ve already won."

"Hm?"

The Old Buddha was surprised and lowered her voice: "Why?"

Chi Ye: "They handed the task over to Teacher Yang Zi. To put it bluntly, they didn't take the task seriously either."

Jin Xia thought about it carefully and was overjoyed: "That’s actually true!"

"Hm?!"

Several old fogies looked over with strange expressions, then looked at the final person, Shi Daifu, without speaking.

Shi Daifu was a "King-tier beast of burden"!

Whichever group she went to would never lack manual labor!

"...!!"

The Boxing Champion noticed everyone's gaze, her body stiffened, and without a word, she silently walked behind Chi Ye.

Everyone: "..."

"Alright, grouping complete."

Seeing that the grouping was finished, the Chief Director announced the final rule: "Since you will be 'setting up stalls' in the market this time, in order to maintain public order, everyone needs to wear custom mascot costumes. Now, please go to the door of your respective rooms and find the staff to collect your mascot uniforms."

After saying this, he ran out to smoke.

The guests exchanged glances, then went upstairs one after another to collect their clothes and change into them.

When they came out again, each of them had "become a different person."

Jin Xia was wearing a pink rabbit mascot costume. Her tall figure was hidden inside the mascot, and her pair of beautiful peach-blossom eyes remained bright and moving through the "rabbit's mouth."

"Teacher Chi, Teacher Chi!"

She trotted to Chi Ye’s side, her peach-blossom eyes confused: "Eh, Teacher Chi, what is this you're..."

"Hey, Chi Ye, what are you wearing? What kind of weird thing is that?"

On the other side, Yang Zi walked out wearing a shark headgear, surprised and mocking.

It could be seen that what Chi Ye had on his head was an animal with a very abstract expression.

Chi Ye glanced at him: "Alpaca!"

Yang Zi: "?"

He was furious: "Hey, why are you cursing at people?! Isn't that going too far?!"

"I didn't curse at anyone, I am an alpaca."

Chi Ye was puzzled: "An alpaca, isn't that what it's called?"

Yang Zi: "...I suggest you stop talking; it sounds so awkward."

Click.

Teacher Huang opened the door, walked out wearing a cute little yellow bee headgear, and laughed happily: "I am a little bee, buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz!"

Yang Zi squinted at him and felt like retching inside.

How could someone with half a foot in the grave have the face to wear a buzz-buzz-buzz-buzz-buzz costume?!

Gross, so cringe!

"What are you guys..."

Chi Ye glanced at the shark and the bee in surprise and blurted out: "Shark-Bee?!"

Yang Zi: "..."

He looked at Teacher Huang with suspicion and uncertainty, then shook his head: "The one being talked about this time must be you, you are the Shark-Bee!"

Teacher Huang: "?"

"You're the Shark-Bee!"

"You, Chi Ye was clearly talking about you! You are the Shark-Bee!"

Teacher Huang: "I am not a Shark-Bee, I am an alpaca!"

Yang Zi: "???"

"..." Shi Daifu, who had already come out wearing a cute little raccoon mascot costume, spoke weakly: "Um... this is an internet meme. The English for bee is 'Bee', and when combined with shark, it's 'Shark-Bee'..."

Everyone: "..."

Finally, Teacher Lü and Lin Jingyi appeared, one as a Boiling Sheep, the other as a Pretty Sheep.

They complained: "The production team is too abstract; this makes us look neither human nor ghost."

The production team sneered: Among everyone present, who dares to say they are human?

"Alright, everyone please go downstairs to draw for your mode of transport. We are about to head to the task location!"

Li Dao, who had already taken over, coughed lightly to remind everyone.

"We have to draw for transport too?"

Everyone was surprised. After going downstairs together, they saw cars, tricycles, and shared bikes outside the courtyard.

"Yes, you will head to the task location on your own."

Li Dao nodded and then signaled for the two team leaders to come forward and draw lots.

Teacher Lü and Chi Ye exchanged a glance and were the first to reach in and draw.

"Hm... let me see... a tricycle?"

Seeing their group's mode of transport, Teacher Lü was stunned.

"A tricycle is fine, as long as it's not a shared bike."

Teacher Huang and Lin Jingyi were relieved and looked at Chi Ye in unison.

They thought to themselves, draw a shared bike, draw a shared bike!

Chi Ye glanced at them, reached in and grabbed randomly, confidently took out the slip, opened it, and started laughing.

"A car?!"

Everyone was surprised.

Chi Ye shook his head: "A shared bike!"

Everyone: "..."

"If I didn't know better, I'd think you drew a plane."

Yang Zi said sarcastically.

"No, the thing I wanted to draw most was you."

Yang Zi: "?!"

"Oh, a shared bike? Is that the bicycle?"

The Old Buddha was exceptionally pleasantly surprised, her two cute rabbit ears perking up: "Is it that little yellow bike on the side of the street?!"

"Yes, it's the little yellow bike." Chi Ye was surprised: "You aren't Teacher Yang Zi, why are you so happy about drawing a little yellow bike?"

"I've never ridden a bike!"

Chi Ye was even more confused: "Never ridden one? Then you probably don't know how to ride, right?"

Jin Xia: "Yeah, I don't!"

Chi Ye: "..."

If you don't know how, what are you so happy about?

"If I don't know how, I can learn!"

Old Buddha was impatient: "Teacher Chi, Teacher Chi, you teach me how to ride a bike!"

Chi Ye: "..."

He turned his head to look at Li Dao: "What should we do about this? Old Buddha doesn't know how to ride a bike; we can't exactly let her ride Teacher Shi, can we?"

Production Team: "..."

Shi Daifu: "?"

Her apricot eyes looked toward Chi Ye, pondering where to land a punch that wouldn't be fatal but would still make Teacher Chi suffer.

Hmm, for the first time, she felt a "desire to kill."

"Teacher Chi!" Old Buddha was also very displeased: "Why is it riding Teacher Shi? Can't I ride... um..."

Realizing the shocked gazes of the people around her, she came to her senses and muttered weakly: "Forget it, I'd better not ride."

Everyone: "..."

Keep talking!

We want to hear the paid content!

"We can switch to a '28-inch roadster'; you can carry Teacher Jin Xia."

Li Dao steadied his nerves. While offering the suggestion, he also reminded Chi Ye's group: "Teacher Lü and the others have already set off. The raw ingredients for the candied hawthorns are first come, first served. Please hurry."

Chi Ye was startled. He looked back and sure enough, saw Shark sitting in the passenger seat of an electric tricycle, Wasp in the driver's seat, and Boiling Sheep and Pretty Sheep laughing in the cargo bed.

Shark looked back and shouted triumphantly at Chi Ye: "Yo ho ho!"

He twisted the throttle and took off!

Chi Ye: "?"

Don't be so elderly, you old people!

He stopped dawdling, told Shi Daifu to go first, then asked the production team for a 28-inch roadster and prepared to set off.

"Teacher Chi, can I sit on the front bar?"

Old Buddha's eyes sparkled as she examined the bar of the 28-inch roadster, eager to try.

Chi Ye: "?"

"Why?"

Jin Xia had her reasons: "I've seen this in so many movies, I want to experience it!"

"Got it."

Chi Ye suddenly understood.

She thinks the seat is too comfortable and feels uncomfortable if she doesn't suffer a little!

Of course, he had to satisfy Old Buddha. He let Old Buddha lift her bottom to sit in front of him, then stepped on the pedal with one foot and swung the other leg over from the back seat—a standard 1980s cycling technique!

"Wow, Teacher Chi, it's moving, it's moving!"

Old Buddha exclaimed: "Teacher Chi, you're so amazing!"

Chi Ye: "...Don't move around, your head is too big, it's blocking my view!"

Jin Xia changed her expression: "Teacher Chi, you're no good."

Chi Ye: "?"

The two wobbled. Chi Ye had long since taken off his headgear and put it in the basket, otherwise, his vision would have been obstructed.

Fortunately, the market arranged by the production team wasn't far, just two kilometers from the small house.

Even so, after Old Buddha sat for a while and the novelty wore off, she started muttering: "Teacher Chi, I'm in pain."

Chi Ye was confused: "Pain? Where does it hurt?"

Jin Xia shut her mouth and didn't speak, only saying sullenly: "It hurts."

Chi Ye realized what was happening and stopped the bike: "Come on, you sit in the back, it'll be more comfortable that way."

"But the view from the front is so good..."

Chi Ye was silent: "How about you sit on top of my head? That way the view will be even better."

Old Buddha looked up and gauged Chi Ye's height, then shook her head: "No, you're too tall, I'm afraid of falling off."

Chi Ye: "..."

In the end, Old Buddha still got off the bike, grumbling, and sat in the back.

The comments exploded.

"Ahhh!! Kswl!"

"Chi-Xia is real!"

"Although Chi Ye has a sharp tongue, he's actually really attentive."

"To the one above, add this: he's only attentive to Xiaxia!"

"So this CP is officially being hyped up?"

"Beauties! Go to the other livestream! Something! Big! Happened!"

"It's already a black screen, I'm dying of laughter."

The comments were gradually being flooded.

In the livestream feed from the PD teacher in the car behind Chi Ye's group, Chi Ye and Jin Xia had also stopped again.

The two parked the bike and looked ahead.

At this moment, they were not far from the market. Riding the bike all the way here had drawn side-glances from a crowd of passersby.

"Is that Teacher Shi in front?"

Jin Xia's beautiful peach-blossom eyes looked through the rabbit mouth at the figure standing blankly ahead.

It was a small brown raccoon with two round ears standing up, hands hanging at its sides, occasionally raising them and then putting them down. It was currently looking ahead blankly, at a loss.

"What's wrong?"

Chi Ye was puzzled. He walked over with Jin Xia and asked: "Teacher Shi, why aren't you moving?"

The raccoon was startled. When she turned her head and saw Chi Ye, her apricot eyes lit up with surprise, having found a savior: "Teacher Chi!"

"Did something happen?"

Seeing her state was off, Chi Ye became serious.

Shi Daifu was a bit anxious and didn't know how to say it for a moment. After a long while, she managed to blurt out: "Teacher Chi, Teacher Huang and the others have been caught!"

"?!"

Chi Ye was stunned: "What the heck? Caught?!"

You can get caught while filming a variety show?!

Shi Daifu's delicate face flushed red, and she stammered: "No, it's not... it's... they were detained by the officers."

"Because of the strange costumes and the fact that people can't ride in the tricycle cargo bed, they were spotted by the officers..."

Chi Ye looked back and discovered that the PD teacher's livestream camera had indeed already been turned off.

He asked curiously: "How many years did they get?!"

Shi Daifu: "..."

"How does one end up as a 'legal-trouble celebrity' while filming a variety show..."

Chi Ye stopped joking and asked: "Where are they? Are they okay? Does the production team know?"

"The rest of the production team is at the task location; only the PD teacher is following on the road... I'm not sure..."

He nodded. Seeing the PD teacher looking at him anxiously as well, he paused and said very calmly: "Don't worry, you contact the director first..."

Just as he was speaking, he saw an officer walking toward them.

He paused and said: "I'm going over to pay a prison visit..."

PD: "..."

He also realized what was happening and hurriedly contacted Li Dao.

And in reality, there was no need for Chi Ye's side to say anything; Li Dao had already learned of the situation here a step earlier.

He was completely bewildered and a bit worried, so he called the general director.

"Hello? Director, Teacher Huang, Teacher Lü, Yangzi, and Lin Jingyi have all been caught... Do you think this content can still be aired?"

General Director: "..."

"Speak properly! I already know!"

"Oh, oh... it's just... what do we do now?"

"It's fine, this is on us... we didn't think of it before. This should just be a fine and a warning, it's not a big deal. Who is over there? Go over and bail them out."

Li Dao: "Teacher Chi has already gone over to bail them out."

General Director: "...Chi Ye is still a reliable person."

"Then... can it be aired?"

"The livestream is already off, it's fine. You go over too, make sure to cooperate with their work, pay the fines that need to be paid... Sigh, damn, 'caught, caught,' you scared me, I thought someone's past issues had come to light!"

Li Dao: "..."

The chief director urged: "Alright, you go too."

"Okay, I'm heading over now."

Li Dao nodded hurriedly and also rushed toward the scene of the incident.

……

On the other side.

Chi Ye arrived at the curb with the officer and saw four "oddly dressed" "dolls" at this moment, each with their heads bowed, listening to the officer's lecture.

"You cannot sit in the cargo bed of a tricycle, don't you know that? This kind of behavior is very dangerous."

"Take off your headgear; you shouldn't disregard your own life safety while working!"

"Yes, yes, you are right."

"We know we were wrong..."

The group had already realized their mistake, and each of them had a good attitude.

Chi Ye walked over. The officer looked at him, paused, and felt he looked a bit familiar: "Eh, you are..."

But he couldn't quite recall.

When he saw the Empress following behind Chi Ye, he was surprised: "Jinxia?!"

"Mm... hello, officer!"

Jinxia trotted behind Chi Ye, peeking around, and even whispered: "Do you need to deposit some monitoring coins?"

Chi Ye: "......Don't top up for Yang Zi."

"Oh, you are filming a show, right? That... 'Meeting the Real You'? I even watched your live stream the day before yesterday; it's very interesting."

The officer finally reacted. Looking at the four people again, he found it amusing, yet also a bit serious: "Everyone, the more you are public figures, the more you must shoulder the responsibilities of public figures."

"I'm sorry, it's the fault of our production team for not checking clearly. We've caused you trouble."

Li Dao finally rushed over and hurriedly explained the ins and outs.

The officer gave Li Dao a lecture on the Road Safety Law again, then looked at the group: "A first-time warning. You must remember in the future to abide by the Road Safety Law. The doll costumes are fine, but sitting in the cargo bed is very dangerous."

Everyone nodded repeatedly as they listened.

"Alright, it's not a big deal, just pay attention to safety. State your ID numbers, you four..."

The officer turned around with his law enforcement PDA. Seeing that among the four "caught" individuals, the last elderly person was still stubborn, he reminded: "This teacher, please take off your headgear."

Yang Zi: "......"

"It's fine, I'm his guardian." Chi Ye indicated it was okay and urged Yang Zi: "Teacher Yang Zi, take off the headgear. Look at you, at your age, why do you keep causing trouble?"

The "Shark" did not speak, only stubbornly clutching his headgear, his face flushed red, as stubborn as an eighty-year-old empty-nester.

Hearing Chi Ye's words, he gritted his teeth even harder.

F*** you, Chi Ye, you really are something; you have to badmouth me even at a time like this?

"Teacher Yang Zi..."

Li Dao went over to remind him.

Yang Zi was "forced into a corner" and had no choice but to take off the shark headgear.

The officer hadn't paid much attention, but when he looked up inadvertently and saw Yang Zi's face, which was as red as a monkey's butt, he was startled: "Why are you so red?!"

Yang Zi: "?!"

His mood suddenly became inexplicably refreshed.

"Are you still going to 'Yo-ho' or not?"

Chi Ye hadn't expected Yang Zi to be so shameless. He shook his head, waited for the ticket matter to be handled here, and then set off again.

However, this time, no one dared to use "transportation"; everyone proceeded on foot.

Fortunately, they were already very close to the mission location, and before long, the group arrived at the market for this mission.

……

At the same time.

Although the live stream was interrupted and no "sensitive content" was broadcast.

But after all, the live streaming style of "Meeting You" was bound to leak a thing or two.

Therefore, when the group arrived at the mission location, trending search terms like #Meeting You Four Collectively 'Collapse'#, #Chi Ye Single-handedly Rescues Four Someone#, and #Road Safety Law# surged onto the trending list.

The other trending terms were fine, but #Chi Ye Single-handedly Rescues Four Someone# was truly too abstract.

Especially since the heat from #Chi Ye Forcefully Crashes Scream Night to Rescue Teammates# hadn't completely faded.

This guy was on the trending list again, and with such a "dramatic" entry.

"Hhh, this guy really has a show!"

"Why is this Chi Ye 'rescuing people' every single day!"

"What a modern-day Hua Tuo!"

"Just came from the 'Meeting You' live stream, laughing to death, the monsters and ghosts all have their own unique skills!"

"Mango TV really needs to manage this. The guests are taking the fall for this; didn't the production team do their homework beforehand?"

"Rescuing four someone, laughing to death."

"Don't understand, let me ask, what does 'four someone' mean?"

"'Criminal suspects': Huang Mou, Yang Mou, Lü Mou, Lin Mou!"

"Strongly request that Chi Ye turn on the stream next time he rescues someone!"
