"It's been quite tough, and I'm surprised I've gotten this far," Qiao Jingjing replied.
"After winning the singing competition, did Jingjing have any worries?" Wang Zhiyu interjected.
“Of course I do. I wouldn’t dare go out without sunglasses and a hat,” Qiao Jingjing said.
The audience burst into laughter.
"Furthermore, family members will also have this kind of trouble."
"Do family members also have them?"
Chu Ai'ai chuckled and said, "Does that mean they'll be recognized as Qiao Jingjing's parents as soon as they go out?"
Wang Zhiyu immediately joked, "Hey, you two elderly folks in front of me, I know you are Qiao Jingjing's parents. Quick, quick, give me your autographs."
The audience burst into laughter.
"No way."
Qiao Jingjing laughed too, "Actually, my parents didn't agree with me becoming an artist."
"Yes, the older generation is more conservative in their thinking."
Chu Ai'ai chimed in.
“Actually, I was scouted by a talent agent when I was in high school, but it was dropped because my family objected. My dad gave me a severe beating back then.”
"Really?" Chu Ai'ai exclaimed in surprise.
"How could this be?"
Wang Zhiyu fully played the role of a die-hard fan of Qiao Jingjing:
"You're too harsh to lay a hand on such a beautiful daughter, Uncle."
"If I had a daughter like this, I would cherish her like a precious gem, afraid she would break if I held her in my hands and melt if I kept her in my mouth."
Chu Ai'ai glanced at him, scrutinizing his face:
"Don't worry, you won't be able to give birth to such a beautiful daughter."
The audience burst into laughter and applauded.
"Now that you're so famous, your parents should be able to accept it by now, right? Have they hit you?"
Wang Zhiyu said nervously.
Qiao Jingjing nodded: "I did."
The audience erupted in uproar.
Qiao Jingjing changed the subject, "My brother took the blame for me back then."
The audience was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Oh my, I feel sorry for Qiao Yu for three seconds."
"Haha, that's hilarious! The older sister got into trouble and the younger brother got beaten up?"
"Was this little brother a free gift with a phone top-up?"
Chu Ai'ai suppressed a laugh, "I feel sorry for your younger brother. Has this been your way of getting along since you were little?"
"Is it always the older sister who gets into trouble and the younger brother who takes the blame?"
The audience members listened intently.
The selling point of this show is to delve into the love lives and career setbacks of celebrities.
Gossip about celebrities is always something the public likes and pays attention to.
Qiao Jingjing said, "No, I've always been well-behaved since I was little, while he often gets beaten by his dad."
“If my dad snorts, he will instinctively stand at attention.”
“We all know that smart kids are especially mischievous,” Wang Zhiyu said.
Qiao Jingjing thought to herself.
Bullshit, he got beaten up because he was too stupid.
But she certainly couldn't say anything bad about her brother on the show, so she said, "Yes, my brother is the smartest."
"There were rumors online that your songs couldn't possibly have been written by one person, because they are really amazing."
"I'm really curious now, what kind of talented person can write so many great songs?"
Chu Ai'ai said, "I'm a fan of your brother. Could you briefly introduce his creative process?"
Qiao Jingjing boasted, "Most of the inspiration came from him."
"He's been very talented since he was little. I'm also very grateful to him for writing the song for me; my brother is the best."
Anyway, all of these songs are ill-intentioned, they're all written for her... so it's practically like she gave me the inspiration?
Qiao Jingjing thought to herself, "I'm so clever."
"Jingjing's career is going smoothly, how about her love life?" Chu Ai'ai asked.
The audience immediately became interested.
Especially gay men, who wish their parents could have another pair of ears.
In celebrity gossip.
What can compare to being in love?
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wang Zhiyu said angrily, "My goddess has no love life, my goddess must be a single dog, no, a single aristocrat."
Qiao Jingjing explained, "Because I live with my younger brother, I haven't thought about romantic relationships yet."
She answered very cautiously.
I would never say that I have a boyfriend or anything like that, and I really don't.
But I wouldn't say that I've never been in a relationship in my life.
No one would believe her if she said it; instead, they would think she was being dramatic.
And it's also quite embarrassing.
Wang Zhiyu added a brilliant line: "Is it because you've always liked your younger brother?"
Qiao Jingjing nearly choked on her own blood: "No, it's just inconvenient."
The audience burst into laughter.
"If it were me, having such a talented and good-looking younger brother, I would inevitably be tempted to fall in love."
Qiao Jingjing became anxious, "My mom has actually been arranging blind dates for me, but she just hasn't found a suitable partner yet."
She thought to herself, "What an unexpected turn of events."
Are we going to discuss something taboo? Please end this quickly.
But for some reason, I felt inexplicably guilty.
Chu Ai'ai was surprised by her reaction and changed the subject:
"Whether you have a boyfriend or not is none of my business. I'm more concerned about whether my younger brother has a girlfriend."
Qiao Jingjing: "Where did he look... he didn't have any?"
I almost blurted out: How could he possibly find a girlfriend?
Is it because of otaku (geek/nerd) culture?
Wang Zhiyu said, "I remember you once said on a show that your younger brother is a homebody."
Qiao Jingjing's lips twitched.
I thought to myself... I did say it, but I won't admit it.
"It's probably because of practicing piano and composing songs,"
Chu Ai'ai said, "You have to look for inspiration everywhere, instead of locking yourself in your room for three days and three nights at a time."
Qiao Jingjing nodded and added:
"He usually just writes songs, novels, and plays the piano, so he's always at home. My younger brother is really amazing."
Playing the piano, of course, doesn't exist.
Writing novels is definitely true.
But Qiao Jingjing hadn't paid attention to what Qiao Yu had written.
He got upset when I called my brother a homebody last time.
It's finally back to normal.
"writing a novel?"
Host Wang Zhiyu seized on the key point, "I wonder what novel your younger brother is writing?"
"Haha, I didn't mean anything by it. I'm just a novel enthusiast, so I'm very curious."
"What kind of works will a talented young man like my brother write?"
"You know, writing a novel is not like writing a song. The vast world-building in a novel is something that a song can't compare to..."
He said a whole string of words.
It means that every profession is like a mountain to climb; you may be good at writing songs, but that doesn't mean you can write good novels.
These are completely different things.
The audience members nodded in agreement frequently.
I think the host makes a good point.
Is this younger brother some kind of all-rounder? Does he have to be this amazing?
“He just writes casually. I heard him say that he doesn’t get paid for his writing; it’s purely out of passion.”
Qiao Jingjing felt a little embarrassed.
Because her younger brother did tell her that she wouldn't receive any royalties.
