Chapter 179: What is the Qin-Sui Ship?

Meanwhile, inside Jiang Sui's fan club, everyone was on high alert.

President Fan: "Sisters, our Sui might actually not be very good at gaming. Let's all keep our voices down while she's on this variety show, just in case she gets dragged. We need to prepare ourselves to be mocked at any second QAQ."

IceCrystal1: "Received! I will protect Baby Sui!"

IceCrystal2: "Wuwuwu, I haven't even dared to speak these past few days, I'm just so afraid of Sui getting cursed out."

IceCrystal3: "Who isn't? But it's totally normal for girls not to like playing video games anyway. Since our Sui is so gorgeous, wouldn't it be great if she just acts as a mascot?"

IceCrystal4: "Received, received! We definitely won't go out and cause a stir during the show, keep a low profile! Just simping for Baby Sui's looks!"

......

Accompanied by the staff, Jiang Sui headed directly to the recording studio first.

However, she was not the first to arrive; several other celebrities had already gotten there ahead of time.

If she remembered correctly, there were four teams in total, consisting of eight celebrities altogether.

Each team would have two celebrity members added to it.

The final composition would be a 5v5 mode featuring three professional esports players plus two celebrity players.

Four people had already arrived before her.

Among them was Xu Manman.

The other three were also idols and actors well-known in the industry for playing games—two guys and one girl.

Upon seeing Jiang Sui, Xu Manman immediately latched onto her like she had just found a long-lost relative.

"Little Jiang Sui!"

Jiang Sui greeted her warmly as well, "Manman."

The other three also greeted her politely.

Right after Jiang Sui arrived, Bai Xixue made her entrance.

As soon as she appeared, the three seated celebrities stood up.

Looking at Bai Xixue as if she were the moon surrounded by stars, they smiled and welcomed her.

Jiang Sui and Xu Manman exchanged a glance.

From the order of appearance, one could actually tell a person's standing in the production team's eyes.

Bai Xixue was clearly arranged to appear at this exact moment on purpose.

"Esports Girl," "A Professional Player Held Back by the Entertainment Industry," and "Gaming Goddess"—these labels were more than enough to make Bai Xixue the primary attraction of the show.

Aside from Xu Manman, the other three individuals clearly fawned over Bai Xixue immensely.

Xu Manman frowned, but knowing that the cameras were rolling, she successfully concealed her dissatisfaction with Bai Xixue.

Yet Jiang Sui, standing right beside her, could easily sense it.

Bai Xixue wore a sharply styled, esports-inspired outfit, fitting her "esports girl" persona to a tee.

She took the initiative to walk right up to Jiang Sui, flashing a too-familiar smile as she said, "We meet again. And Manman jie, too. We're all old acquaintances here."

Xu Manman smiled as well, "Right? What a coincidence that we're running into each other on this show too!"

However, Bai Xixue completely ignored Xu Manman. She turned her head and deliberately spoke to Jiang Sui: "I've never heard that you play *Honor of Heroes* before. Since you were invited onto the show, you must be really good. What's your main lane?"

Live Stream Comments Section:

[Wuwuwu, Xuxu is such an angel! She's holding no grudges at all against Jiang Sui for their previous unpleasantness on the show.]

[Will Bai Xixue's fans just shut up? Every day they accuse others of being scripted while refusing to admit they're hypocrites with their own scripts.]

Jiang Sui couldn't be bothered to put on an act with Bai Xixue. After all, they had already fought and cursed each other out before.

Pretending now would only make her look hypocritical.

Therefore, she replied indifferently, "I'm fine in every lane. Total carry."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Manman tugged at her sleeve and intentionally remarked, "How can Little Jiang Sui possibly compare to someone like Xixue? Xixue is a gaming god, after all. How dare you say something like that in front of her, aren't you afraid people will laugh at you?"

Bai Xixue sneered, "Is Manman jie trying to set her up for a fall?"

"How could I dare?" Xu Manman chuckled, "I'm just speaking the truth. Little Jiang Sui isn't as capable as you, how could you misunderstand like that?"

Jiang Sui glanced at Xu Manman.

Was she literally rushing forward to feed the enemy kills?

With such obvious green-tea vibes, wouldn't she get torn to shreds by Bai Xixue's fans?

Although Xu Manman had talked like this before, this time seemed even more deliberate.

Green tea behavior sometimes required timing; previously, she at least wouldn't have openly offended Bai Xixue so overtly, sticking instead to subtle, shady remarks.

Yet today's conversation carried a distinct smell of gunpowder.

The live stream comments were bustling at this moment as well.

[Total carry? I think you mean total feeder, hahahahahaha.]

[Jiang Sui, do you even hear yourself? Let's just be a cute mascot, please don't mess around, be a good girl.]

[Begging the show crew to kick this green tea Xu Manman out, thank you. Seeing her is so annoying, stay away from our Xuxu.]

[What brand of plastic bag is Xu Manman? How is she this good at putting on an act??]

[Excuse me, I want to watch Jiang Sui hard-carry everything. If I live to see Jiang Sui carry every single match, I'll buy a lifetime VIP membership instantly.]

[Hahahaha, I just love how my mommy Jiang Sui talks big and acts like she's the number one in the world, hahahaha.]

Gossip Watchers:

[Fight! Fight!! Grab each other by the hair!!]

......

Right at that moment, the comments stream suddenly refreshed rapidly.

[Ahhhhh Qin Ze is here ahhhhhh]

[Qin Ze! My Qin-Sui ship is finally in the same frame!]

Everyone looked toward the entrance.

A youth with milky-gold hair appeared within the camera's view.

The moment he stepped out, all the male celebrities present were instantly eclipsed.

Bai Xixue's eyes lit up when she saw Qin Ze.

Qin Ze smiled, the dimples on his cheeks forming just the right degree to make people scream.

As Qin Ze walked over, Bai Xixue wanted to greet him.

However, Qin Ze walked right past her and smiled as he headed toward Jiang Sui.

The smile on Bai Xixue's face froze, and her expression turned rather unsightly.

Outside the screen:

Watching the massive wave of shipping fans flooding the comments after Qin Ze's appearance, Lu Ye said in a deep voice, "What is the Qin-Sui ship?"
