Chapter 55

"Xiaoli, we meet again. I saw a recent poll where you were voted as the female celebrity most people would like to socialize with," Li Hui Cai said.

"So, I think it should be fine for me to be the MC, right?" Li Xiaoli said.

"Of course."

"Then, shouldn't Brother Hui Cai be the 'male artist who has socialized the most times' in first place?" Li Xiaoli joked.

"Hehe, I'm past the age for socializing now. I'm at the age of being an introducer," Li Hui Cai quickly responded.

"When I first received the notification, I thought I was invited as a socializing guest, but later I found out I was invited to be the MC," Li Xiaoli said with a smile.

"You're too old for that. You're too old, so it's not possible," Li Hui Cai said...

There were seven guests at the scene: comedian Haha, news anchor Wu Shangzhen, former HOT member Hee Jun, Shinhwa member Andy, Cool's lead singer Alex, actor Li Zhen, and singer Bae Seulgi.

"Today's program is not about celebrities socializing, but about celebrities introducing their friends to socialize. They will use all their skills to help their friends find girlfriends. The competition rate is 7:1. I secretly took a peek before the recording, and she's really a beauty!" Li Hui Cai introduced the program's concept, which could be considered a matchmaking show, but different from the once-popular "Love Letter." It might be an innovation by MBC.

Just as Li Hui Cai finished speaking, a guest, Haha, suddenly said, "I have a bit of a complaint. No matter whether it's introducing a celebrity's friend or not, it all ends up with Li Hui Cai. We'll be hurt."

Everyone at the scene burst into laughter.

"Everyone has seen that beauty. What do you think of her? I'm very curious," Li Xiaoli asked the guests.

"I saw her, and she's a very excellent woman. I hope my friend can become a couple with her," Wu Shangzhen said.

"Not you yourself?" Li Hui Cai suddenly asked. The scene erupted in laughter.

"Of course, I hope my friend can become a couple. I have no selfish intentions at all," Hee Jun said with a smile. "I want to continue being the lover of many people," Hee Jun said with a serious but humorous tone.

"Having just returned from service, it seems you're still in the social adaptation stage," Li Hui Cai said, bending over and teasing Hee Jun.

"Ah, it seems times have changed. Didn't we all used to say that?" Hee Jun defended.

"Next, let's ask our youngest, Bae Seulgi. Is it a male friend?" Li Hui Cai asked.

"Yes, it's a male friend. I've known him since I was 20. He's very cute, and I think he's the best among my friends," Bae Seulgi introduced.

"Isn't that a bit too much? Bringing your ex-boyfriend is allowed?" Haha said, criticizing fiercely.

"No, no, it's not that," Bae Seulgi quickly denied.

"That's outrageous. Don't you feel burdened by that?" Haha started his mischief.

"Someone said it's hard for men and women to be just friends," Li Xiaoli said from the side.

"So, that's why it's an ex," Haha immediately added.

"Why are you always like this?" Bae Seulgi was a bit embarrassed.

"Haha, you always want to mess up the show, don't you?" Li Hui Cai also criticized.

"Li Zhen, why are you here too?" Li Hui Cai turned to ask Li Zhen, who was sitting next to Bae Seulgi.

"Xiaoli and this friend said they would bring him to meet a beautiful woman. But then Xiaoli became the MC. If I told this friend the truth, he might kill Xiaoli, so I came instead." After listening to Li Zhen, Li Hui Cai felt more and more black lines on his forehead.

"Xiaoli's friend is also your good friend?" Li Hui Cai asked again.

"Yes, he's very close to the members of Fin.K.L," Li Zhen said.

"Alright, now the seven celebrities and their seven friends, pay attention. Our female protagonist is about to enter. She's really a beauty. Let's welcome her with applause!" Li Hui Cai said, moving on after the introduction.

A beautiful woman in a black dress walked out from behind the stage, with an oval face, smooth skin, and delicate features. She was about the same height as Li Xiaoli in high heels. "Alright, although we know a bit about her, let's have the female protagonist introduce herself," Li Xiaoli said.

"Hello, I'm Yoon Sunhee, born in 1985, 24 years old," Yoon Sunhee said.

"Which university are you attending now?"

"Seoul National University, Department of Diplomacy."

"Although you're not here to socialize with the guests, if you had to choose your ideal type from these people, who would you choose?" Li Xiaoli asked.

At this point, Haha started joking again, and the scene was filled with laughter. But Li Hui Cai couldn't laugh, because he recognized Yoon Sunhee as Professor Yoon's daughter, the one he had met for a family matchmaking. What a coincidence, he felt an urge to run away...

"If Li Zhen and Bae Seulgi weren't women," someone added.

"Then I would choose my former idol, Hee Jun," Yoon Sunhee said. Hee Jun then performed a dance from his past.

"Alright, for the first round, let's talk about first impressions," Li Xiaoli said.

"First impressions are very important, so the introducers must do a good job."

"Since we won't reveal the faces of the friends, the celebrity introducers can only reveal which artist their friend looks like."

"Next, let's hear from the celebrities about who their friends look like," Li Hui Cai said.

The celebrities introduced their friends in various ways, even saying some men looked like women... It was Li Zhen's turn. "My friend is Li Zhong. Honestly, I don't think he looks like anyone. If I have to say, he looks like Hong Kong actor Andy Lau," Li Zhen said, showing a photo of Andy Lau from "New Shanghai Bund," where he looked handsome and mature.

"Ah, really? So handsome?" Li Xiaoli exclaimed, while Li Zhong smiled bitterly. Are these two trying to kill me? Even looking like Andy Lau? The other guests also started teasing. Yoon Sunhee had a hint of anticipation.

After the wave of excitement subsided, it was time for the celebrities to perform talents on behalf of their friends. There was laughter again, with dancing, drinking, and even taekwondo performances. But Li Zhen was stuck because she didn't know what Li Zhong was good at.

"Hey, what are you good at?" Li Zhen asked quietly. "Anything will do, as long as I don't have to show my face." Li Zhong thought that as long as he didn't show his face, no one would recognize him, and he could deny ever being on the show.

"Then I'll do it myself," Li Zhen said with a sly smile.

"Xiaoli, what is your friend good at?" Li Hui Cai asked.

"Ah... Do I really have to say? Do I really have to do it?" Li Zhen said shyly.

Li Zhong felt a chill down his spine, sensing that he was about to be set up.

"My friend Li Zhong is best at flirting with girls," Li Zhen said shyly, but her actions weren't very shy.

"Ah, this..." Li Xiaoli looked at Li Zhen helplessly. This was a bit too much, she shouldn't ruin Li Zhong's image.

Li Xiaoli was called to the stage to demonstrate. Li Zhen walked up to Li Xiaoli like a small thug, suddenly brightening her eyes. "Hey, beautiful, waiting for someone? How about having a drink with me?" Li Xiaoli couldn't hold back her laughter and squatted down. Li Zhong felt utterly embarrassed. This had actually happened before. Li Zhong and Fin.K.L were already very close, and once Li Zhong did this to Seulgi. Seulgi later told the other members, and Li Zhong was severely scolded. He never thought this would happen again today.

"Ah, did Li Zhong really do that?" Li Hui Cai asked curiously. If Li Zhong really did that, Li Xiaoli probably wouldn't have brought him to the show.

"Really, but not to me, to Seulgi. We were at a gathering, and we asked Li Zhong to pick up Seulgi," Li Xiaoli said, finally stopping her laughter but still smiling. Li Zhong was criticized again.

It was time for Yoon Sunhee's first choice. As Yoon Sunhee hesitated, Li Hui Cai suddenly said, "If you can't decide, choose Li Zhen's. Let's see what the Korean Andy Lau looks like. Besides, he dared to do that to Seulgi."

"Ah..." Yoon Sunhee blushed. But in the end, she didn't choose Li Zhong, instead eliminating the friends of Haha and Wu Shangzhen.
