The Actresses of Those Years

Travel variety show We Are Friends, rumored guest list:

Guan Yan and Ye Tang, Zhou Xuan and Su Yi, Chi Ran and Bo Jin, Mu Jinning and Jiang Muhan

Rumor had it that Guan Yan and Ye Tang had been living together for five years under the guise of being "neighbors." Their old "neighbor" joke kept getting dragged up and discussed again and again, but gradually faded from the public eye.

Five years later, the two appear together on a travel show, and every little clue points to them living together.

On the day of the livestream, Guan Yan appeared in Ye Tang's livestream and peeled a boiled egg for her. She instinctively went to eat the yolk Ye Tang didn't like, but noticed the camera and quickly stopped herself. She changed direction and shoved the yolk toward Ye Tang's mouth instead.

The comments went wild:

[Guan-jie was just about to eat the yolk for Ye Tang, wasn't she?]

[Hahaha, Guan-jie did that out of habit. She almost couldn't stop herself.]

[What kind of best friends live next door, bring each other breakfast, feed each other eggs, and take care of each other's yolks?!]

[They're still wearing the matching rings from back then!]

The Yan-Ye CP flirted in the livestream, and Zhou Xuan, another guest on the show, shipped them so hard that netizens hailed her as their ultimate spokesperson.

Su Yi scolded Zhou Xuan with an exasperated look. "Don't forget you're livestreaming too. People are talking about you as well."

"So what? I'll ship them! I'm going to be the head of their fan club!" She looked up at her own livestream camera. "Just wait. I'll feed you all plenty of content. I won't keep it to myself."

Su Yi let out a helpless sigh. This girl had been causing trouble for everyone for ten years, and she hadn't changed a bit.

The comments offered some friendly advice:

[Xuan-jie, maybe figure out how to get those kissing photos of you and Su Yi from back then deleted first?]

[Exactly, Xuan-jie. How can it make sense for the CP fan to be sweeter than the person you're a fan of?]

Once the show began, the director announced the rules: guests who failed a task would have to switch "best friends" for 24 hours.

Ye Tang panicked. "Twenty-four hours? Including sleeping? That wouldn't be appropriate, would it?!"

Guan Yan helplessly covered Ye Tang's mouth. "You, quiet."

Zhou Xuan couldn't help laughing, while the others looked both helpless and exasperated. Ye Tang must have been thinking about all sorts of nonsense. They'd be together during sleeping hours, but no one said they'd have to sleep together. The way Ye Tang was acting had given her away, and surely the whole country could see it by now.

The comments:

[She's panicking, she's panicking!]

[Inappropriate? How is it inappropriate?]

[Please elaborate on how it wouldn't be appropriate.]

[Why wouldn't it be appropriate?]

After one task went badly, Su Yi was swapped out, and Zhou Xuan launched into a cold-faced meltdown.

Director: "You might spark a different kind of chemistry with your new friend."

Zhou Xuan, expressionless: "Of course we won't. What if we did? That'd be a disaster."

Everyone: "..." She wasn't wrong, but was that really something she could say out loud?

The comments:

[Hahahaha, Xuan-jie is so mad. She keeps snapping at the director.]

[She's broken down. Xuan-jie has broken down.]

[Who was it that swore she didn't care about switching best friends?]

[Xuan-jie is so bold, saying that out loud.]

[I don't get it. What kind of disaster would it be?]

The characters in this story are the protagonists of several of my older entertainment-industry stories.
