Chapter 134: His Legends Are Everywhere in the Martial World
“What are you planning to do today?”
Faced with the photographer’s question, the seven celebrity trainees gave different answers.
Yu Wanwan said she was going to review, Lin Yuxi wanted to practice dancing, Yi Zhi Xuenai was preparing to draw, Xie Mu wanted to play on his phone, Gan Hengxu said he was going to practice singing, and Chen Siqing and Tang Luocheng planned to play games together……
The meaning of the weekend was to relax and rest, so there was never a single correct answer, nor was there any distinction between better or worse.
“That hoodie Tang Luocheng is wearing is pretty nice……” Yi Zhi Xuenai seemed to be cracking sunflower seeds as she began commenting on the outfits worn by the celebrity trainees on camera.
“Then what do you think of what I’m wearing?” Lin Yuxi asked with a smile.
“It’s just a hoodie and jeans, how am I supposed to comment on that?” Yi Zhi Xuenai cracked a seed with a crunch, “Aren’t there people dressed like this all over the streets?”
Although that was true, celebrities were still a little different from ordinary people. Lin Yuxi looked especially tall and fresh dressed like this, with a very girlish charm.
And those long legs, tsk tsk tsk.
“What about me, what about me?” Yu Wanwan cut in.
It was said that boys had all kinds of “fetishes,” like hand fetish, leg fetish, breast fetish, and so on…… She didn’t know what kind of “fetish” Pu Tong had, but if he had a leg fetish, then Lin Yuxi’s outfit was really eye-catching.
“Wanwan’s little shirt is really cute!” Yi Zhi Xuenai thought for a while, “Wife hehe.”
“Shameless!” A hoarse voice rang out, accompanied by a smack, presumably her manager couldn’t resist patting the Japanese girl on the head.
“Aiya, isn’t it normal to want to call a pretty girl ‘wife’ when you see one? If you don’t believe me, ask them, does Yuxi want to, does Pu Tong want to?”
No way, no way. If someone else called Yu Wanwan “wife,” it would just be for fun, but if he called her that himself, she might actually agree……
After all, there were so many people, so the topic quickly moved on, and this line became just a little interlude that not many people paid attention to.
In the program, the seven celebrity trainees began their respective weekend plans according to their own arrangements. The photographers also occasionally chimed in with a sentence or two from the side, which counted as some interaction.
In Chen Siqing and Tang Luocheng’s footage, they put on their headphones and turned on their computers, preparing to log in.
Perhaps it was the production team’s planned CP marketing, as the photographer knowingly asked, “Who are you playing games with?”
The two didn’t even think about it and answered in unison, “We’re playing with Pu Tong!”
At the time, they were both thinking that they had finally managed to get on Pu Tong’s coattails right away, so they mentioned Pu Tong’s name first thing, even with a hint of showing off. Who would have thought that they would later discover it was all a chain of accidents.
Although the camera couldn’t film him, mentioning his name was perfectly normal. After all, secretly filming someone was against the rules, but anyone could mention someone else’s name.
“Misunderstanding haha, everyone knows about it now, right!” Pu Tong scratched his head awkwardly, secretly feeling fortunate that he had clarified things early.
This had long since become old news, and everyone now knew that the “So What If I'm Arrogant” account belonged to Pu Tong’s friend, so they just watched it for the entertainment value and didn’t take it too seriously.
There were even jokes in the comments like “Pu Tong is such a scumbag, all he knows how to do is deceive people.”
“Spamming unrelated people in the comments isn’t proper comment etiquette, hey!”
“That’s the comment etiquette on Bilibili, but this is Penguin!” Yi Zhi Xuenai giggled, “If you don’t want to see it, you can set your name as a blocked keyword!”
Damn, so he was supposed to block his own name? What kind of operation was that?
“Forget it then.”
He had appeared in the first two episodes of the program, and his presence had been so strong that viewers had already formed a preconceived impression. Even when he wasn’t there, they would bring him up in all sorts of ways, not to mention that Chen Siqing and Tang Luocheng had just cued him.
Fortunately, his name only appeared for this tiny bit, so it was harmless.
The program continued, and it came to Xie Mu’s segment. This guy was hiding behind the screen and secretly playing on his phone, looking as if he were doing something shameful. Even the comments began wondering what exactly this guy was doing?
“No way, no way, surely there really are people who hide from the camera, right?” Yu Wanwan said sarcastically.
Fuck, who were you indirectly mocking? Pu Tong was furious but didn’t dare say anything.
Xie Mu was ridiculous too. He called him Master all the time but hadn’t learned anything from him, only learning how to hide from the camera, right? This was definitely not something he should be learning.
Perhaps even the photographer couldn’t stand it anymore and began asking him, “Who are you chatting with?”
I know the answer to this one. He was chatting with Ling Ling…… Of course, Pu Tong couldn’t possibly say that out loud. He had no other advantages, but he sure knew how to keep his mouth shut.
“I’m chatting with Pu Tong!”
Huh?
Was there such a thing? How come he didn’t know about it? Wasn’t this just making things up? This guy was actually using him as a shield to cover up his online romance?
If that was the case, Pu Tong had to admit that his mouth might not be quite as tight-lipped as he thought.
A useless disciple could be tossed aside just like that!
“You two are that close?” Yu Wanwan was quite puzzled. She always felt that there was some little secret between the two that no one knew about.
“We just chatted a few times.” Pu Tong coughed twice and glossed over it.
He had been cued again, and the comments once again started discussing him, which left him quite depressed.
You’re filming a program, so why do you keep bringing me up?
Xie Mu just sat there messing around on his phone, with nothing entertaining happening, so naturally he didn’t get much screen time. The next segment switched to Gan Hengxu.
This unlucky disciple was familiar with him, so it was normal for him to mention him. Now, surely someone who wasn’t that familiar with him wouldn’t cause any problems, right?
“I once crossed over mountains and seas, and also passed through seas of people……”
As soon as the familiar music came out of Gan Hengxu’s mouth, Pu Tong felt that something was wrong.
When asked by the photographer, Gan Hengxu commented on the song and then lavished praise on it, to the point that it could completely be called flattery.
After a barrage of praise, even Pu Tong in front of the screen could barely sit still.
“Good taste!” Yi Zhi Xuenai’s manager expressed her approval, clearly showing that she also really liked this song.
“I also think it sounds great, but I prefer ‘The Ring of Years.’” Jiang Yun murmured.
Don’t ask why. The answer was simply that her own Wanwan sang it, so there was a little personal bias involved.
“I like ‘The Ring of Years’ too!” Manager Xiao Luo chimed in.
If even they were like this, there was no need to mention the comments. They were all talking about Pu Tong’s songs. Each song had its own merits, and everyone discussing them had their own opinions.
“No, why is everyone bringing me up?” Pu Tong sighed, not knowing what to say.
But these people were only expressing their praise for him, which made it impossible for him to get angry at them.
“Huh? I think I mentioned you too!” Yi Zhi Xuenai felt a little embarrassed, “Mainly because they asked about the manga. I figured I couldn’t leave you, the person who provided the plot, out……”
“Nani?” Pu Tong pursed his lips, his scalp going numb. The Japanese girl was way too honest, wasn’t she? She just blurted everything out.
“Actually, I mentioned you too……” Lin Yuxi coughed twice, “But everything I said was true, and I sincerely praised you.”
It was like thanking someone who had helped you a lot when receiving an award. This sort of thing was simply unavoidable.
After all, Pu Tong had genuinely influenced all of them at the same time!
Before long, Lin Yuxi and Yi Zhi Xuenai’s segments finished airing. Just as they had said, both of them really did mention him, and each praised him several times.
“Hehe, it feels kind of embarrassing when your praise of someone gets broadcast, doesn’t it?” Yi Zhi Xuenai was a little shy. After all, so many people were watching, and she had praised him so much that she felt a little embarrassed.
Pu Tong didn’t know what to say.
Clearly, he hadn’t appeared at all from beginning to end, yet there was a sense that he had been present throughout, with an extremely strong presence.
The several celebrity trainees had been on the program for so long that, to one degree or another, they had all been influenced and inspired by him, and had made changes of their own. Many people could see these changes……
When they mentioned him, it wasn’t out of disrespect. On the contrary, it was a form of recognition, admiration, and even gratitude.
“Son, you’re trending again!” Ni Hui patted Pu Tong on the shoulder and shrugged helplessly.
The trending topic was: Pu Tong Has Influenced So Many People.
In a single episode, all the celebrity trainees on the show were praising him. It was easy to imagine how sensational that was.
Precisely because he had never appeared from beginning to end, it seemed all the more astonishing.
It was as if a person had already left the martial world, yet the martial world was filled with his legends.
