Chapter 57 - Song Li Faked Falling to Set [YQC] Up; Yan Qingchi Showcases His Skill For The First Time

Early in the morning on the next day, the variety show officially began shooting at f University.

As per usual, Sun Xun and Chen Xuanlang were the captains.

Sun Xun wore a red tracksuit and Chen Xuanlang wore a blue one.

The remaining eight people were placed on teams by rolling dice.

The two guys and one girl who had the largest numbers would be on Sun Xun’s team; the ones with smaller numbers would be on Chen Xuanlang’s team.

Yan Qingchi naturally wanted to be on Sun Xun’s team.

So, when he shook his dice, he put a little more effort into it.

He shook the dice until he got them to the number that he wanted. Then he opened the dice sieve1.   

“Two fives and one six.

Looks like you’re on my side, Yan Qingchi.” Sun Xun said.

“Mn.” Yan Qingchi moved over next to him.

Soon, the teams were all set.

Sun Xun, Yan Qingchi, Ruan Wenxuan2, Jiang Hanhui3, and Ding Zinan4 were on one team.

According to the color, they were placed on the Red Team.

Chen Xuanlang, Dai Hongzhuo5, Song Li6, Li Meng7, and Yang Xiaoxiao8 were on the Blue Team.

Of the two guests who had come to promote their film, Fei Jiamu9 was on the Red Team while Li Yuanqing10 was on the Blue Team.

After the teams were decided, the game officially began.

The game this time was to find the golden keys that would open treasure chests.

Whichever team that found a key would be able to hold up the key and choose to temporarily stop time to count the number of teammates still in the game.

Sun Xun examined the map of f University for a bit.

Based on the regions that the director had told them the keys would be placed yesterday, he chose several storied buildings and arranged for everyone to scatter to all directions to search for the key.

Yan Qingchi followed him and asked, “If, in a while, we encounter the people on the Blue Team, do we snatch their wooden tablets”

“Of course.

Otherwise, they’ll snatch ours.

And then we’ll have lost.”

“Then can I also snatch them”

“You best be able to snatch a little more.” Sun Xun looked at him.

""

Yan Qingchi asked, somewhat uncertain, “Is it also okay if I snatch them all”

Sun Xun was amused by his question and laughed, “Hahaha, if you are able to do that, then of course that’s the best.”

Yan Qingchi was helpless, “I’m serious.”

“I’m serious too11,” Sun Xun looked at him with a smile, “From the start of this show’s broadcasting to now, there has never been a person who has snatched and won over an entire team.

If you are able to do that, then you will instantly become famous.”

“Wouldn’t I seem like I’m stealing the limelight an awful lot”

“Of course not.

This is a competition to snatch wooden tablets–unless you think that we should still treat everyone equally and be on peaceful terms There will definitely be a win or a loss, with some people being weak while others are strong.” 

Yan Qingchi got the point.

He had some plans in mind.

He and Sun Xun split ways at the Shaw Building12.

Sun Xun went to the upper floors to look for keys while he looked for keys on the lower floors.

He had just been searching in his third classroom when someone came in from the back door.

Seeing the other person’s blue tracksuit, Yan Qingchi unconsciously looked at their wrist. 

Because the temperature was hotter, everyone wore short sleeves.

It was very easy to see the rope with the wooden tablet hanging from it.

The string was very thin.

It would break with a light tug.

However, Yan Qingchi felt that, at the end of the day, he was a newcomer.

It wouldn’t be appropriate if he just launched an offensive at once, so he didn’t move.

He merely smiled and commented, “What a coincidence.” And then he continued to search for the key.

Yan Qingchi’s ‘What a coincidence’ was referring to how the two of them happened to appear in this classroom at the same time.

Yet, when those words fell upon Song Li’s ears, they didn’t have the same meaning.

Song Li looked at the person before his eyes and felt that those words contained endless mockery. Indeed, it was quite the coincidence.

To think that he would meet this person who used to be in the same company as him here.

Wasn’t it quite coincidental There were so many people in this entertainment circle, so many people who could fill in for Guan Jingshen’s spot, and yet Yan Qingchi was the one who came.

Song Li found it ridiculous. Since when did Yan Qingchi become good enough to appear in the same shot as him What status did Yan Qingchi have He was a “foot-washing servant”13 who shared a manager with the other five people in the company.

He wasn’t even good enough to hold up his (SL) shoes (for him to wear)! And now, he (YQC) actually appeared in the same variety show as him.

On what grounds!

Besides, they used to be in the same company, and he could be considered as Yan Qingchi’s senior brother (in the company).14 Now that Yan Qingchi has dropped into Come Fight! out of nowhere, shouldn’t he have proactively come over when he saw him yesterday to greet him (SL) and pander to him for him (SL) to take care of him (YQC) in the show In the end, not only did he (YQC) not take the initiative to find him, he (YQC) pretended not to recognize him.

It was truly ridiculous.

He (YQC) pretended not to know him (SL) while he (YQC) was currying favor with Sun Xun.

What did this count as Did Yan Qingchi think that since Sun Xun was the captain, he (SX) was more popular than him (SL)15 

As he stared at Yan Qingchi, Song Li felt that the other man’s remark was clearly mocking him.

To him, Yan Qingchi’s “What a coincidence” was actually saying, “Look at how the tables have turned.

Even though I could only ‘wash your feet’ when I was at Xing Yue16, I’m now on equal footing with you.”   

Song Li thought it was laughable. On equal footing What kind of joke was this How could a foot-washing servant like Yan Qingchi be good enough to be on equal footing as himself!

He clenched his fist and walked step after step towards Yan Qingchi.

How could Yan Qingchi have known that his remark “What a coincidence” would trigger Song Li to think so much He simply thought that it was kind of awkward if neither of them said anything, so he made an offhand remark.

After all, even though he felt that the name “Song Li” sounded kind of familiar, he wasn’t the Original Owner.

He hadn’t spent that much time in Xing Yue, much less seen Song Li before.

His understanding of Song Li came entirely from this variety show: he was a regular who joined in this season with average popularity and average variety show sense.

But he had a decent relationship with popular male celebrity Ruan Wenxuan.

His presence was all due to the “WénLǐ”17 cp18. 

Out of the corner of his eye, Yan Qingchi caught sight of Song Li walking towards him.

He knew that the latter intended to snatch his wooden tablet, so he planned to retreat outside the classroom.

After all, there were too many tables and chairs in the classroom.

If the two of them were to scuffle here, it would be bad if they bumped into anything. 

He stopped what he was doing and backed out of the room.

Song Li, noticing this, hastily followed him.

The two of them came out to the hallway.

Song Li smiled and lunged towards him.

Yan Qingchi reflexively evaded him and caught his wrist.

Just as he was about to take off the wooden tablet on his wrist, Song Li tugged and slipped, falling backwards.

Crash! He fell to the ground. 19

He looked at Yan Qingchi and grimaced (in pain) for a while.

In a seemingly helpless yet magnanimous manner, he remarked, “Damn, how come you’re so ruthless It really does hurt a little.

You can’t act like this.

Even if [you’re] a little nobody who wants to stand out, you can’t act so recklessly.” 

Yan Qingchi’s expression instantly turned cold.

He watched as Song Li sat up on the floor and slowly rubbed his (SL) butt as he (SL) got up, wordlessly assessing this person.

He carefully recollected this person and name and finally remembered. It had been his negligence.

Not that long after he transmigrated, he had gotten married to Jiang Mochen, subsequently ending his contract with Xing Yue and going to Nan Cheng.

So he had forgotten: that day when he had transmigrated, wasn’t Song Li the person who Li Jiang and said intercepted the Original Owner’s gig The one who, because he was deeply favored by the boss, was mainly advocated for using the whole company’s might.

The one who had a manager of his own, Xing Yue’s undisputed top dog——Song Li.

 “What’s the matter Are you alright, Song Li How did you fall”

 Yan Qingchi was just about to speak when he heard a voice from behind him.

He turned his head to see Dai Hongzhuo had run over here.

Dai Hongzhuo saw that Yan Qingchi was also present so he asked, “What’s the matter with you two” 

“Nothing.

To stand out and get screentime, the newcomer’s desire to win is too strong so he didn’t control his strength appropriately20.

Forget it.” Song Li waved his hand, acting like he didn’t want to pursue the matter.   

Hearing his words, Dai Hongzhuo glanced at Yan Qingchi with clear disapproval in his eyes.

Yan Qingchi couldn’t resist laughing. It’s already a new era21; why is this kind of feeble-minded harem intrigue ruse still being used If you asked him, Song Li shouldn’t appear on Let’s Fight! Friend!22 He ought to go to Let’s Have a Catfight! Sister! That way, this instance of a feeble-minded scam23, forced framing, and terrible acting could realize its full potential.

Yan Qingchi smiled and said in a cold and detached manner, “Song-ge exaggerates.

How could a little nobody like me dare to not control my strength appropriately towards you (formal) It was Song-ge yourself (formal) who had accidentally fallen.”

“What do you mean” Song Li asked, “It’s not like I blamed you.

You dare to do it but not to admit it”

“Whether I did it or not, you and I are both aware.

Except, that a little nobody like me needs you to put in the effort to act out this kind of imperial scheme, it’s also quite hard on you, Song-ge.” 

“How could you say that, Yan Qingchi You’re saying that I framed you.”

“Whether you’re framing me or not, the two of us have cameramen following us.

In a while, if we export the footage and slow it down, we ought to see it clearly.” 

“You—” Song Li was kind of angry, yet he took Dai Hongzhuo’s presence into consideration.

Hence, he merely smiled, “Ok, ok, ok, the newcomers nowadays are truly becoming more and more overbearing.

That’s true, you are someone with a big background.

Otherwise, how could you join this show out of nowhere with nothing to offer Those with Sugar Daddies24 are different.”

Yan Qingchi smiled, “Speaking of ‘Sugar Daddies’, is Boss Li’s body in good condition recently”

Song Li’s expression instantly changed, “What nonsense are you saying!”

Yan Qingchi looked at him, “What did I say I was just asking.”

Song Li gnashed his teeth.

But he was afraid that he (YQC) would say things that he shouldn’t in front of Dai Hongzhuo, so he could only pull Dai Hongzhuo and say, “Forget it.

Let’s go.”

“Hold on.” Yan Qingchi gazed at him.

“What else d—” Before Song Li could finish speaking, he felt Yan Qingchi suddenly flit past him.

He was taken aback and, by the time that he realized what had happened, Yan Qingchi was already behind him.  

Song Li and Dai Hongzhuo turned around to look at him.

Yan Qingchi smiled.

He raised a hand and lightly opened it.

A short length of string fell naturally from his palm, following the gravitational force.

And on the string, to their astonishment, hung Song Li’s wooden tablet.   

Song Li was stunned.

He looked down at his wrist and discovered that his wooden tablet had disappeared without him being aware when.

He gazed at Yan Qingchi in disbelief.

Yan Qingchi laughed coldly, “If I wanted to snatch your wooden tablet, do I still need to get close to you and push you” He snorted, “Then you truly underestimate me too much.”

Like Song Li, Dai Hongzhuo was stunned for a moment before he understood what had happened.

He stared at the wooden tablet, incredulous, “How is that possible Before Song Li had fallen, did you already—” 

He hadn’t finished what he was voicing because Yan Qingchi charged straight at him.

Dai Hongzhuo hurriedly dodged, evading Yan Qingchi.

He let out a sigh of relief.

Before he had recovered from the shock, he unconsciously glanced at his wrist yet, to his astonishment, he discovered that the wooden tablet on his wrist was gone. 

Yan Qingchi opened his hand and there Dai Hongzhuo’s wooden tablet was, hanging down from the rope in the air.

It swayed mockingly.

Dai Hongzhuo was stunned.

Yan Qingchi smiled, his smile somewhat contemptuous.

He looked at Song Li, his tone unhurried, “So, why would I push you”

Song Li was at a loss for words.

Yan Qingchi returned Dai Hongzhuo’s wooden tablet to him.

Then he threw Song Li’s wooden tablet by his feet.

Yan Qingchi  glanced at Song Li, his gaze full of scorn.

However, because they were still filming and there were other people around, it wasn’t the right time to say anything.

So he just did not pursue the matter, intending to talk about it after they got off the show.

Yan Qingchi turned to look at the cameras that were following the three of them.

Very calmly, he asked, “This part couldn’t be used, right Then the footage would end at that bit where we just came out of the classroom, wouldn’t it”

The three cameras had never seen anything like what he had just done in their time as cameramen following people (in shows).

For a moment, they were all stupefied.

They could only nod blankly. 

“Good,” Yan Qingchi turned his head back to look at Song Li and Dai Hongzhuo, “I’ve returned your wooden tablets.

You guys can tie them again.

I’ll head off first.”

 Then he ran towards another classroom.

His camera hurriedly followed after him.

Yan Qingchi turned and entered a classroom.

Looking into the camera before him, he let out a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and followed up on what had happened when he had been in the classroom earlier as he said, “Fortunately he didn’t follow me.

That really scared me to ‘death’.”

The cameraman: …Do you not have a guilty conscience saying that! You are clearly the one who scared other people to “death”, okay!

The cameraman looked up to the sky, speechless.

However, once he thought of Yan Qingchi’s astonishing and unexpected actions earlier, he felt that if this little nobody before him really snatched other people’s wooden tablets like how he (YQC) had just demonstrated, then the time when the program broadcast would probably be the day where he (YQC) made a name for himself.

After all, this was too fricking scary.

Thank you for reading my translations!

FootnotesSomething like this: 阮文軒 (Ruǎn Wénxuān)蔣涵卉 (Jiǎng Hánhuì)丁梓楠 (Dīng Zǐnán)戴鴻卓 (Dài Hóngzhuó宋立 (Sòng Lì)李萌 (Lǐ Méng)楊笑笑 (Yáng Xiàoxiào)費嘉慕 (Fèi Jiāmù)黎元青 (Lí Yuánqīng)But neither of you are Sirius.

Sorry, sorry, bad pun.逸夫樓 (yìfūlóu).

樓 (lóu) -house with more than 1 story / storied building / floor.

There’s a college building in the Chinese University of Hong Kong called “Shaw College” (逸夫書院) so I took the translation of that.

They have a Wikipedia page in addition to their official page.In terms of how it’s most likely being used here, it’s just a way to say that YQC had a lower status.

A rough translation of an explanation for this in the modern, entertainment world context: “foot-washing servant” refers to a member in a group who was relatively less popular with not-so-good gigs and a very low status.

They’re more easily overlooked.This guy was mentioned in Chapter 1 Part 1.

I messed up on his name (I had it as “Zhu Li”).

None of the edits I’ve made to past chapters have been saving though so it’s still “Zhu Li” no matter how many times I’ve tried to change it.Man, translating this part was such a pain.YQC’s old company, SL’s current company紋理 (wénlǐ) -vein lines (in marble or fingerprint) / grain (in wood etc)Basically, people only remember him or he only really appears/comes up in conversation because of the pairing with Ruan WenxuanNot quite this but close enough: Cat Fight Meow GIFfrom Cat Fight GIFsThis is the only way I can think of right now to translate “不知輕重”.

I might get back to this later.Raw basically asked “What era is this already”Raw phrases it along the lines of “why should Song Li appear on Let’s Fight! Friend! if he could go to Let’s Catfight! Sister!” (要他說宋立還上什麼《來戰吧!朋友!》?他應該去《撕逼吧!姐妹!》)碰瓷 (pèngcí) – (coll.) to scam sb by setting up an “accident” in which one appears to have sustained damage or injury caused by the scam victim, then demanding compensation (variations include putting “expensive” porcelain in a place where it is likely to be knocked over by passers-by, and stepping into the path of a slow-moving car)not what the raw said but it’s the closest thing that I’m using for the translation here-
