Chapter Twenty-Fifth X-Man (5)

  I'm back!

  Tried a bit harder, but it seems I'm really not good at writing humorous stuff. Guess I'll just stick to my own style from now on!

  "Ah!"

  Amidst the thunderous laughter, Yoon Eun-hye furrowed her brow and charged towards Ahn Joon-young, as if to let him experience firsthand the power of a girl warrior who would ruin his bright future. Liu Jae-seok, who was laughing heartily, hastily intervened, "Eun-hye, calm down! Tae-oh, hurry up and hold her back, or someone will get killed!"

  "Ah - I'm coming!"

  Jiang Hudu, who had already fallen to the ground laughing, let out a loud roar with an imposing momentum, but his body was like a meat worm, crawling over and hugging one of Yoon Eun-hye's legs tightly.

  Then, the young warrior dragged his massive body across the floor...

  After a moment of chaos, the furious girl warrior was finally blocked by two MCs and failed to implement violence. The guests and audience who were laughing so hard that they couldn't catch their breath finally had a chance to breathe.

  "Ah——!" Liu Zai Shi, who had returned to his position, let out a characteristic sigh of admiration. "You truly live up to your reputation as our young heroine, even the greatest warriors in the land are no match for your strength."

  As he spoke, Yun Eun-hye covered her face and crouched down on the left, while Kang Tae-oh scratched his head and burst out laughing on the right.

  An Junhe, who had been acting scared and hiding far away earlier, also returned to the team's lineup. He saw Liu Zhi in Shi quietly giving him a thumbs up, apparently praising him for his quick thinking and not wasting the opportunity. Standing next to him, Jiang Huadong also patted him on the back and whispered, "Well done, keep it up!"

  But An Jun-he knew that the main credit actually went to the two of them and Yoon Eun-hye, if not for their exaggerated physical performances and conflicts afterwards, those temporarily fabricated lines would not have been funny at all.

  "Thanks for your help, Senior Hu Dong!"

  "Never mind... just pay attention to the program!"

  Two people used "ventriloquism" - a small trick that most artists would use, with lips not moving, only using throat sounds and tongue vibrations to make sounds - whispered two sentences, on the other hand, Liu Zishi had already introduced the second person of Kong's team.

  "Let's welcome, last week with a big uncle hairstyle appearance, causing a stir on the internet - Lee Byung-jin!"

  As Liu Zai Shi's rhythmic introduction came to an end, Li Bingzhen, the second member of Kong's team, stepped forward.

  Compared to other guests who are either singers or actors, this gagman from the comedy club doesn't seem to care about his image at all. With a short and stout figure, an explosive hairstyle, and a dull expression, he just needs to take one step forward, and the whole studio erupts in laughter.

  As the applause and laughter gradually subsided, Liu looked him up and down on the rock, suddenly turned his head to a camera that had come into focus and asked: "Is there someone in the program team who particularly hates Li Bingzhen?"

  Li Bingzhen's expression stiffened and he immediately became tense, looking around nervously, "Who? Who?"

  Jiang Hudu then curiously asked: "Why say that?"

  Lee Bong-jin, who was still looking around with a puzzled expression, trying to figure out who hated him, had his afro hair pulled by Yoo Jae-suk, who raised an eyebrow mischievously. His clumsy-looking thick-framed glasses made him look especially comical: "He just copied Uncle's hairstyle last week to boost his popularity, and this week the show brought in the real Uncle... how deep must be the hatred to sabotage him like that!"

  As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes turned to Ahn Jun-hee without exception.

  A part of "Sorry, I Love You" triggered a tragic trend, while making Ahn Jun-hee popular, it also made his nickname "Ahjussi" widely known. It's not just his fans who call him that, but due to his recent popularity and frequent media exposure, even many artists will associate the term "Ahjussi" with Ahn Jun-hee at first mention.

  Moreover, they also knew that Li Bingzhen's explosive hairstyle tied up with a headband last week was actually an imitation of Ahn Jun-hee's hairstyle in the drama "Reply", and at one time everyone was excitedly gathering around to watch.

  An Junhe understood that this was another opportunity for Liu Zai Shi to speak on his behalf. Just as he was thinking about how to respond, he saw Jiang Hu Dong making eye contact with him and discreetly gesturing with his hand. An Junhe thought for a moment and understood what he meant. Before Liu Zai Shi could continue asking questions, he shouted: "He's actually impersonating me! Brother Hu Dong, help me teach him a lesson!"

  "Here I am!" Jiang Hudu puffed out his chest and stood up with a very flattering expression, ran to Li Bingzhen's face in a majestic manner, waved his hand to push him back, and shouted: "Say, how much popularity did you gain by impersonating our family's Junhe?"

  Under the intimidating gaze of the stout and sturdy man, Li Bingzhen looked particularly small as he trembled with fear, stammering: "N-not much..."

  "How little?" Jiang Hudu's eyes widened, "Just now in the back you were boasting, saying that now going out to eat barbecue, barbecue shops will give you two more slices, is this still called not much?"

  Li Bingzhen was tongue-tied, seemingly frightened out of his wits. He then hung his head in shame and muttered: "Is it a lot? No big deal, next time we'll go eat barbecue together!"

  "Hahaha!" Gang Hu-dong burst into loud laughter, heavily patting his shoulder, "You're really something, I like it." After that, he walked back to Ahn Jun-hyuk with a pleased expression, "Jun-hyuk-ssi, Brother Hu-dong helped you save face. That Lee Bung-jin guy agreed to treat us to barbecue."

  An Junhe nodded repeatedly, imitating his previous manner towards Li Bingzhen, and patted him on the shoulder: "Very good, I like it!"

  The most cooperative and explosive laughter on site again.

  The main MC Liu Zishi, who was "left out", didn't want to be left behind and chimed in with a few jokes, and the topic jumped back to the introduction segment. Liu Zishi still held the rolled-up script in his hand, but he didn't start immediately. He looked at the teams on both sides of him and smiled: "Team Kong isn't doing well today, the topics of the first two guests are all related to Ahn Jun-hee from Team Jiang...and the next guest to be introduced, Choi Yu-jin, is also familiar with him...since that's the case, let's just skip our introduction segment and go straight to Ahn Jun-hee."

  As he spoke, he really turned towards Jiang's team, with an attitude of not being willing to bother with Kong's team anymore.

  Kong's team was naturally dissatisfied, especially the two female team members Cui Ruzhen and Jin Meiyan, who immediately exclaimed: "How can this be?!"

  "If it's like that, if Ruzhen Jie and he have a relationship, then you can just skip over Ruzhen Jie!"

  Others immediately chimed in: "Right! Right!"

  Just went to find Cui Ruzhen who was theorizing with Liu Zaishi, didn't expect to be suddenly sold out by teammates and immediately screamed back to kill, afterwards it was naturally chaotic again.

  After this, except when it was really An Junhe's turn, Liu Zishi didn't mention a person without pulling him out to show his face.

  According to Yoon Eun-hye's previous statement, the initial introduction segment (including dance performances) was edited down to around 10 minutes for broadcast regardless of how long it took to film. Therefore, after Liu Zaiyu utilized Yoon Eun-hye, Lee Beom-soo and Choi Yeo-jin to secure sufficient airtime for Ahn Jun-young, he stopped fooling around and completed the introduction segment in order.

  An Junhe also understands this, with so many guests on the scene, if 10 minutes of time is mostly occupied by him, others will feel uncomfortable even if they don't say anything, in that case, it would not be helping but harming him.

  The opening introduction and the subsequent dance show took more than half an hour to complete, followed by a break for the game segment preparation. During this time, both teams will also change into uniforms with their respective colors, of course, the uniforms are simple sportswear.

  "Just performed well." As they came down from the stage and entered the backstage to change clothes in their respective dressing rooms, Liu Zai Shi, who deliberately walked with An Jun He, gave him a thumbs up, "First show, it's okay to relax, remember to keep this level."

  "Yes, Shi Ge!" An Junhe slightly bowed his head.
