Chapter 230: The 230th Impression Reversal

How could this be?

When did Ye Xian leave? Wasn’t he always staying in the match house? When would he have had time to promote Dangshan Pineapple?

Qiao Yahan and Meng Jin panicked and opened the second one.

The second trending search was a compilation of all the wonderful scenes of Ye Xian in this episode: his humorous conversation with the old man on the mountain road, his comical struggle to gather water chestnuts in the river, and him singing and dancing to rap on the boat, blowing flattery that had netizens bursting with laughter.

This trending topic had reached seventy million views, and since the show had just ended, its popularity was still soaring, vaguely set to break a hundred million. Countless blog posts and comments under the topic were all laughing and praising Ye Xian, with not a single negative one.

Zhou Lu jumped around like a giddy bird, “Brother Ye, Brother Ye, your Weibo followers finally broke ten million!” What did ten million signify? It signified that a star had officially entered the third-tier in the entertainment industry, a celebrity full of scandals had made a turnaround within just a few months, to climb into the top three tiers–how many could achieve that?

“Really?”

Ye Xian felt somewhat happy. Since just completing one episode, the results had been so noticeable, and by the time this season ended, wouldn’t his resources come rolling in?

Ah!!! Impossible! This can’t be! It must be Ye Xian who bought these trending searches!

Qiao Yahan’s hands trembled holding the phone, sweat broke out on Meng Jin, as things completely slipped out of their control and headed in an increasingly unfavorable direction…

If it were only Ye Xian performing exceptionally and winning the audience’s favor, it would be one thing, but now even the two major sponsors of the show posted on Weibo, capturing the screen where Ye Xian inserted advertisements, expressing appreciation and fondness. This indicated that Ye Xian would not only not be ejected from the match house, but his screen time and status in the program would significantly increase.

Why?! Why, when he inserts an advertisement, do viewers complain about him being stiff and wasting screen time, but when Ye Xian does it, everyone praises him as handsome and funny?

“That’s so fake!” Qiao Yahan, her forehead veins throbbing with rage, exclaimed, “It’s impossible. You must have bought these trending searches, right?!

“If you say so,” Ye Xian crossed his arms and looked at her slightly twisted face due to extreme rage, a bit of an eyesore, “Tsk tsk~ To shine even when targeted, to borrow netizens’ words, I must really be a chosen one, perhaps… this is just Xian’s destiny.”

Pah!

Such shamelessness!

“Destiny?”

Qiao Yahan’s lips curled up high, her eyes as if wanting to carve out a piece of flesh from him, “I’ll show you what destiny is!”

She briskly walked out of the match house with her phone in hand, the sound of her high heels clicking as if they intended to crush someone.

She was going to call her dad and get this annoying fly thrown out of the match house!

“Ye Xian, you’re really amazing!”

After checking the trending searches, Chen Jiaxuan looked at Ye Xian with eyes full of admiration, “I’ve been on the show many times but never made it to a solo trending search. You made three right off the bat, and the viewers all really like you!”

“Just a coincidence.”

Ye Xian hadn’t expected that his bad luck in that episode would still land him in the trending searches; it really was a case of turning clumsiness into cleverness.

After seeing the trending searches, Wang Xu finally understood why Ye Xian had won in the cooking competition–it wasn’t the cooking that won, it was his character. To give away roses, hand to retain a lingering fragrance, in this match, he was convinced in defeat.

Zhang Qing put down her phone, and the look she gave Ye Xian had changed.

He was different from what she had imagined… quite a bit different.
