Chapter 145: Chapter 136: Is the Group Favorite Finally Falling to Him? (Double-Length)

Zou Li thought it over all night, summarizing and analyzing countless times in her mind, and finally reached a conclusion.

Ji Xizhi doesn’t like Ji Fengyuan. She must have been deliberately framed before, leading to the spread of rumors.

Zou Li, having figured this out, planned to have a good chat with Zhong Yulu to clear up the misunderstanding.

Unfortunately, after getting her cast at the hospital, Zhong Yulu fell asleep.

Zou Li couldn’t bear to wake her, so she had to give up for now.

It wasn’t until Ji Xizhi came upstairs after her shower that Zou Li turned over to approach her, afraid she might fall asleep as soon as she lay down, so she called out.

Only then did she open WeChat on her phone.

She said to Ji Xizhi: “Um… I just saw your test paper, how about adding me on WeChat and sending me the answers in advance?”

This was Zou Li’s newly thought-out, non-awkward way to ask for WeChat, not that she wanted to ingratiate herself with Ji Xizhi; she just purely wanted to see.

Zou Li even opened her WeChat QR code.

Only to hear Ji Xizhi say: “No way, you can only have the answers after finishing the test paper.”

Zou Li: “???

Who wants to do the test paper?!

“I didn’t plan to do the test paper! It’s my… my friend, she needs it for an exam!” Zou Li’s gaze wandered.

Ji Xizhi was already lying down, her breathing steady, as she replied: “Oh, then let her get it from my Weibo three days later. These days, she should expand her thinking with various problem-solving methods!”

Zou Li: “…!”

Is Ji Xizhi’s mind only filled with test papers?!

Zou Li took a deep breath two or three times, then closed her eyes and straightforwardly said:

“I just want to add you on WeChat, okay!!!”

Ji Xizhi: “Okay.”

A voice without a trace of hesitation came to Zou Li’s ear.

Zou Li instinctively opened her eyes.

In the dim light, Ji Xizhi turned sideways, took her phone from the bedside cabinet, and scanned the code to add a friend.

With a “ding,” after adding her as a friend, Ji Xizhi put her phone back in place.

Throughout the process, Zou Li stiffly held her phone, only speaking after a while:

“Don’t you care about how I treated you before?”

Ji Xizhi came up late, and it was already past her usual bedtime. After adding her as a friend, she lay down to sleep.

Barely hearing Zou Li still talking by her ear, she replied from memory, “The one targeting me… I think the last one was a PhD returnee from Ivy League, Zhang…”

Zou Li was petrified: “?!?

Turns out she is not even worthy!

At half-past six the next morning, all the guests of the show group got up on time for their morning run.

Director Wang had checked the weather in advance, and today’s weather was exceptionally good.

Director Wang was full of energy. After finishing the warm-up exercises with Ji Xizhi, he held back his breath and didn’t dare to breathe heavily even after running a few miles.

This time it was also being broadcast live, and many viewers in the “Life Experience” program group had even developed the habit of getting up early.

Now seeing Uncle Wang make a spectacular comeback, many netizens were instantly inspired.

[Everyone, look, if Uncle Wang can still run a few kilometers for pride, can’t you?]

[Yes, definitely can! Director Wang, well done! I hereby announce that I won’t call you Uncle Wang today, only tomorrow (not)]

Director Wang ran through several fields in one go, and by the time he returned to the courtyard, he was drenched in sweat.

But perhaps due to exercising every day lately, he felt it wasn’t so hard to run through.

Ji Xizhi clearly noticed Director Wang’s progress as well. She smiled gently and sincerely praised him: “Great progress, Director Wang, keep it up!”

Director Wang was so delighted to receive such words from Ji Xizhi after all the hard work, that he almost danced with joy, just shy of performing on the spot.

[It’s the first time seeing a director from the show group so happy to be praised by a guest! I’ve only seen guests happy to be praised by the director!]

[Honestly, swapping the roles of Ji Xizhi and Director Wang, this program would still be watchable!]

[A new approach, maybe it’s not a bad idea?! Ji Xizhi could well retreat to the background!]

The Director in front of the camera wasn’t aware yet that his candid live broadcast segment successfully shifted him from the director role to that of a guest.

The last to know the truth, Director Wang tearfully hugged the PD and cried.

After the guests finished running, it was time to leave Lishui County.

The program’s live broadcast had temporarily concluded, leaving only one or two cameramen to capture behind-the-scenes footage en route, which could all be edited later; thus, the guests relaxed quite a bit.

The eight guests left together, once again passing through the sea of rapeseed fields.

The show group’s bus was waiting on the distant highway.

The car that Director Wan lent to Ji Xizhi had already been returned by the program group, and finally, all the guests were taken to the bus by the sponsor’s car.
