1626: Tsk, She Seems Hostile

Tsk, She Seems Hostile

The variety show would start in five minutes.1

A staff member was already collecting the guests' cell phones.

As they had to record the scene, the microphone needed to pick up their voices during the recording process. It would be awkward if one of the guests' cell phones suddenly rang during this process.

In order to avoid such awkwardness, the staff usually asked the guests to hand over their cell phones in advance so that they could keep them together. They would immediately return them when the show was done recording.

The other two guests handed their cell phones to the staff readily.

Wei Xueying had already taken out her phone when it was her turn. Suddenly, she saw that Qiao Nian had yet to hand it over.

She pulled her hand back again from her halfway gesture and asked coldly, "Why hasn't she handed hers over yet?"

The staff member was confused by her question. He looked in the direction she was pointing at and realized that Qiao Nian had yet to hand it over.

He was helpless. He couldn't afford to offend Wei Xueying. He could only walk over and talk to the girl in embarrassment. "Um, Miss Qiao. We have to collect all the cell phones. Do you think it's alright for you…?"

Qiao Nian heard what Wei Xueying said. She looked up unhurriedly and said politely, "Wait a minute. Let me send a message."

"Okay."

The staff member did not hurry her.

Qiao Nian clicked on Ye Wangchuan's profile picture and quickly typed a message.

[QN: I'm recording a show and they're confiscating my phone. I'll call you back later.]

She typed the message in less than 10 seconds, then closed WeChat and turned off her cell phone. She handed it to the staff member waiting beside her. "Okay, I'm done. You can have it."

The staff immediately thanked her. "Thank you for your cooperation."

He kept her cell phone and then went to look for Wei Xueying.

This time, Wei Xueying had nothing to say and happily handed over her cell phone.

Qiao Nian stood lazily at the side with her arms crossed. Seeing Wei Xueying's cooperative actions, she clicked her tongue and retracted her gaze.

Although she was blind to people she wasn't familiar with, Qiao Nian was certain that today was the first time she had seen Wei Xueying.

She couldn't understand why the other party was targeting her, but she could tell that Wei Xueying was hostile to her.

She seemed to dislike her.

As for why the other party didn't like her… Qiao Nian wasn't sure yet, nor did she want to find out.

After all, she would only be recording this episode before leaving.

Be it Wei Xueying or the others, they were just strangers to her.

She had no interest in getting to know them.

"Lights, props, get ready."

"Lights in place."

"Camera One in position."

"Camera Three in position."

There was some silence.

The remaining people also responded. The atmosphere became serious.

Tan Ninghao worriedly looked at the girl standing in the corner among the guests. He saw that the girl's shoulders were relaxed. Other than looking a little casual, she did not seem nervous.

He relaxed a little more.

Tan Ninghao picked up the walkie-talkie and commanded, "Everyone, get into position. Guests, get ready. We'll start immediately."

Wei Xueying's assistant handed her a new water bottle and took away the one she hadn't finished, then jogged to the side.

The makeup artists of the others quickly left the scene.
