Chapter 49

Xiang Tong’s careful calculations didn’t make a splash at all. Su Yuanyuan couldn’t help but squint and smile at the thought of Xiang Tong’s stifled heart. Fang Lizhe started the car and gave her a funny look, “So happy?”

“Of course. She’s really annoying, so you have to stay away from her in the future!”

Fang Lizhe was a little silent when he heard this, which led Su Yuanyuan to glance at him several times and asked, “What are you doing? Do you really have a crush on her? What’s good about her? Why do you have such bad eyes?”

“No, I don’t have any ideas about her.” Fang Lizhe thought about how to say it for a while. When he saw that Su Yuanyuan was impatient, he simply said, “Susu, I have been adapting to our new identity these days, but in truth, it isn’t much different from the past. Maybe we have been getting along for a long time, and we are used to each other. Still, I want you to know that I have no memory of our past lives. Since I first met you, you have been a little fox. I can regard you as my closest relative, but I can’t regard you as… as a spouse. Um, do you understand?”

Su Yuanyuan thought he was going to say something important. After a long time, he actually said this. She subconsciously closed her eyes with her little paw and casually said, “Oh, it was this ah… I don’t like human and animal love either. How can I not understand? Don’t entertain foolish ideas. Everything is the same as before. I wouldn’t have told you that I am a fox demon if I wasn’t afraid that you would worry that I would be too tired and cut my work.”

Fang Lizhe breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his lips, “Don’t worry. Work would be added. You have to be popular.”

He actually thought a lot these days, and especially thought that, what if Su Yuanyuan and another little fox were together? Would he be happy to see it every day? The answer was no. He didn’t think he liked any other foxes. Yes, no matter how deep his feelings are, they were a human and fox. Yet, he felt that he really had a strong possessive desire toward Su Yuanyuan, and he only wanted to live with Su Yuanyuan with no other people, no other foxes, just the two of them all the way.

When he was at a low point, Su Yuanyuan appeared by his side and helped him a lot, giving him the warmth of family and the success of his career. This relationship was deep enough, so deep that no one and nothing could shake it. He had decided that he would live with Su Yuanyuan, whether she can transform or not, provided that Su Yuanyuan didn’t care about the title of husband and wife, and doesn’t mind this way of getting along.

Fortunately, it looks like Su Yuanyuan doesn’t mind at all.

The human and the fox were totally thinking of different things, but cleverly reached a consensus, which swept away the inexplicable tension that filled them these days and returned to their usual joy.

The Elite Among Dogs’ was a variety show that was put forward after ‘Cute Dog Susu’ became popular. The investment in the first season wasn’t high, and the TV station’s expectation for it was low. There were even other shows predicted to be a hit that took over its original airtime, squeezing it into the 10 p.m. Monday slot.

Variety shows were usually on Friday or Saturday nights, when everyone had time and mood to watch when they were relaxing during days off. On the first day of work on Monday, or at 10 o’clock in the evening, who would watch variety shows? Because of this incident, the creative staff of ‘The Elite Among Dogs’ took a deep breath, took this program more seriously, and kept improving the link designs. They also invited a dog trainer, hoping to quickly guide several dogs to finish recording when something went wrong.

When Su Yuanyuan arrived at the recording location, she felt the positive energy from everyone, and seemed to be working very hard, so she had to work hard for the best result. She sighed in a low voice, “I thought I was here to act in a variety show. It turned out to be so serious.”

Fang Lizhe thought of the focus point as soon as she turned her head, and thoughtfully said, “It seems that this program is under great pressure, and not many people are optimistic. In this case, when it explodes, it will help you rise.”

“Eh? Then we have to make it popular!” Su Yuanyuan’s eyes lit up, smiled and said, “The main characters are a few dogs. It’s too easy to make them obey. It will definitely be popular!”

Fang Lizhe smiled, rubbed her little head and told her, “Be careful, everything will be magnified in front of the camera, so don’t get discovered.”

“Rest assured!” Su Yuanyuan jumped out of his arms and ran to greet the dogs.

The staff was worried when they saw her. They were afraid that she would be bullied by the big dogs. However, in fact, she was the one who would scare the few dogs. The Doberman and the Border Collie kept their backs straight and were constantly vigilant, whereas the Husky and Toy Poodle simply threw themselves on the ground and assumed submissive postures.

Su Yuanyuan immediately whispered a few times and told them, [Be smart, record the program as I say later. Don’t show fear toward me, otherwise … humph!]

Although Su Yuanyuan didn’t say the threat out loud, all the dogs understood it. The Husky jumped up quickly and barked like a fool twice. The Toy Poodle walked around Su Yuanyuan with her dog legs, her little tail wagging so much it almost flew off. The Doberman and Border Collie sat obediently, which was in line with their character — steady and sensible.

The change that occurred in a short period of time didn’t give any clues, as the Husky’s celebrity owner even smiled and said, “They both seem to like Susu ah. I often play ‘Cute Dog Susu’ at home. Today, Xiaoha finally saw the real Susu.”

The Toy Poodle’s star owner also laughed, “Yeah, look at my Dolly. She’s like a little eunuch next to the Empress, hahaha. I didn’t know dogs also know how to idolize someone. It seems as if she just met her idol today.”

Fang Lizhe saw that Su Yuanyuan handled it so well, so he let it go. He went over and greeted the director, looked at the scheduling for the day, and indicated that there was no problem. So, the director ordered the shooting to start.

In the beginning, each owner brought their pet out to make a simple self-introduction and a simple performance. A good show, from the beginning of the appearance, should start with highlights, lest the dry transitions would make the show stale and boring. Who would want to see what happens later? After careful measurement, the directing staff decided the order of appearance. Fang Lizhe and Su Yuanyuan, the most popular ones, were naturally left in the final stage.

After Fang Lizhe told Su Yuanyuan the main points that should be paid attention to in a variety show, Su Yuanyuan immediately understood. If a program is to be interesting, it must stay light hearted, with constant laughter and timely and occasional heartfelt moments. Thus, before acting, she gave instructions to several newly accepted minions, giving them each a different persona, and threatened them with death if they ever forget to maintain it.

When the fox demon’s momentum came out, the few dogs submitted automatically. Why did she even need to say so much? All of her words were firmly in their minds. Moreover, Su Yuanyuan’s setting was also in line with their character. The Border Collie was a serious old leader, intelligent and rational, unsmiling, and absolutely loyal; The Doberman was a brainless strongman, impulsive and irritable, fierce and cruel, but he listens to his master; The Husky, was comically stupid, timid, and fearful. He was always rebellious and didn’t listen to his master’s words, but at the critical moment he would break out to win, but the probability was relatively small; The Toy Poodle bootlicker loves to boast, was delicate and good at hiding, loves to cling to the strong, would pander and beg for mercy to confuse opponents, and seize opportunities to catch up, which was good.

Su Yuanyuan was naturally an all-powerful type, which could be cute and royal, intelligent and witty, never fooled and also protective.

So, when the first, veteran and the Border Collie, came on stage, one person and one dog held their heads high. When they came out, there was an air of justice, which made people feel awe-inspiring, as if they saw a soldier with a gun, protecting the country. When the second young and cute female star brought her Toy Poodle to the stage, the Toy Poodle jumped all the way out in a pink fluffy skirt, barking and smiling, and seemed to have endless energy. When the host introduced her, she also showed her dancing skills in circles. Although she fell down, it made everyone laugh.

When the third bright female star brought her Husky to the stage, the Husky turned silly when he saw so many people. He grabbed his master’s skirt and dragged her back. After his failure, he rolled on the ground and refused to go. Finally, the female star threw a Frisbee, and it jumped up excitedly, its eyes lit up. She turned around and threw up the Frisbee with a disdainful expression. He proudly walked to the designated place, completely forgetting that he didn’t want to come out at first.

The fourth, a boxer and his Doberman came out with the yell of his master, the Doberman’s bark was extremely fierce and arrogant. The Doberman also barked at the several other dogs, scaring the Husky and the Toy Poodle to lie prone on the ground, surrendering. Then, the Doberman looked up proudly in front of the camera.

Finally, Fang Lizhe and Su Yuanyuan appeared. They wore the clothes from ‘Cute Dog Susu’, and when they appeared, it was as if they did a ‘Cute Dog Susu’ cross-over! Su Yuanyuan first ran and jumped softly, then jumped on Fang Lizhe’s shoulder in one leap, licking her little paws. When Fang Lizhe uttered the challenge declaration, she glanced at the several other dogs with her wistful glance, full of disdainful attitude.

The Husky and Toy Poodle saw it, and immediately jumped up and waved their tails wildly, the perfect image of the brain-dead fans. The Border Collie sat calmly, as if he had become a statue, completely uninterested in them. According to Su Yuanyuan’s orders, the Doberman barked twice with fear. After Su Yuanyuan lowered her body and made a low growl. He stared at her, full of fighting spirit, as if he was going to swallow her.

Fang Lizhe held Su Yuanyuan from his shoulder to his arms. Su Yuanyuan glanced at the Doberman, and sat upright without fear. She held her head high, quite like a majestic Empress, and didn’t pay attention to him at all.

Fang Lizhe stood in the middle and talked to each of them for a few minutes. After finding that the bright actress and the foreign boxer were good at picking up cues, he made a few more jokes with them, which made the other members laugh as well.

The directing staff was almost dumbfounded by such a wonderful and smooth opening, and were ecstatic when they returned to their senses. It was a good start and gave everyone an uplifting feeling! The Director quickly issued the task and started everyone’s first game, which was also a warm-up game. It was jumping in circles, running through obstacles, rushing on slopes, crawling down on the ground, and so on; to see who can get the opposite ball as quickly as possible, and bring it back to their master.

This game was obviously most beneficial to the Border Collie. These things were practiced every day in the army, without difficulty. For the lazy Husky, petite Toy Poodle and Su Yuanyuan, this course could only make them seem silly and funny. However, to everyone’s surprise, as the whistle sounded, Su Yuanyuan suddenly rushed out like an arrow off the taut string!
