Switched Life:I Went Viral on a Family Variety Show-Chapter 84 What a Peerless Misfortune

"The third group’s new family members are: Hu Zhi, Shen Yi."

As soon as Director Sun finished announcing, Hu Zhi waved enthusiastically at Shen Yi, her face brimming with an uncontrollable smile, "Hey, handsome! Come over here."

[What should we do? Shen Yi and Hu Zhi being grouped together feels like a lamb walking into the tiger’s den.]

[Don’t you know Hu Zhi loves young fresh meat? This time, having successfully ditched Sang Chuan, the unlucky son, she must be overjoyed!]

"The fourth group’s new family members are: Sang Youming, Qin Kai."

Before Qin Kai could walk over, Sang Youming took the initiative, stepped closer, stretched out his hand with a goofy smile, "Hello, new son!"

Qin Kai was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly extended his hand for a handshake, "Hello, new dad."

[As expected, Sang Family people are all social butterflies. These reorganized families are really awkward, but if there weren’t social butterflies, it’d be hard to liven up the mood.]

[Is Qin Kai naturally slow to react? This feels like a goofy uncle encountering a clueless brother.]

[Director Qin: I’m not dead yet, but here you are, recognizing a father quicker than lightning.]

"The fifth group’s new family members are: Qin Jiaxiang, Song Shiye."

After Director Sun made the announcement, Song Shiye trotted over to Qin Jiaxiang with small, quick steps, politely and adorably greeting him, "Director Qin, please take care of me for the upcoming days."

Song Shiye’s smile was infectious. Seeing his grin, Qin Jiaxiang couldn’t help but smile as well, "Hello, Xiao Ye, looking forward to working together!"

Qin Jiaxiang was actually quite satisfied with this grouping. Qin Kai was far too stoic, and he barely managed to say a few words with his biological son in normal times.

Song Shiye was sunny and lively. The upcoming days shouldn’t be too dull.

[Not gonna lie, I feel like Song Shiye is also a hidden social butterfly.]

[Hidden? More like an obvious one! If he wasn’t a social butterfly, could he even hit it off with Sang Chuan?]

Once all five groups’ new family members had been announced, everyone noticed something odd and collectively turned to look at Sang Ning and Li Sulan, whose names hadn’t been called yet.

As Director Sun held the card, his hand suddenly paused, and he turned to glance at the nearby staff, furiously winking and signaling.

His inner monologue: Did you guys secretly mess with this? How did you end up putting Sang Ning and Li Sulan in the same group?

The staff shrugged and waved their hands, innocence in their expressions.

Their defense: The guests drew their own lot; what’s it got to do with us?

"Um... The sixth group’s new family members are..."

Director Sun hesitated for ages before finally speaking, but the names of Li Sulan and Sang Ning seemed like they could burn his tongue—no matter what, he just couldn’t get them out.

[Director Sun is probably sweating bullets. Li Sulan and the Sang Family are like mortal enemies, and now she’s actually grouped with Sang Ning?]

[Sang Ning’s "Crow Spirit" nickname isn’t an exaggeration. She managed to end up grouped with someone she absolutely dislikes—this must be some cosmic bad luck.]

[Look at how rattled Director Sun is, he’s even lost his ability to speak.]

"Director Sun, if you can’t say it, then I’ll do it for you."

Like an excited monkey watching the drama unfold, Sang Chuan sprinted to Sang Ning’s side, grabbed her hand, and raised it high, "I hereby announce the sixth group’s new family members: Li Sulan and my most revered older sister—Sang Ning."

Sang Ning withdrew her hand, gave Sang Chuan a sharp glare without saying a word.

The guests collectively fell silent, especially Sang Youming and Hu Zhi.

Sang Ning had just cut ties with the Chu Family, and now she’s paired with Li Sulan—it’s impossible not to think it’s a joke.

Even Sang Ning herself was speechless. What kind of absurd fate is this? To actually end up grouped with Li Sulan?

Seeing Sang Ning’s unhappy expression, Li Sulan crossed her arms and let out a cold snort, "You think I’m happy to be grouped with you? If you want to blame someone, blame the program team."

After all, she was still technically Sang Ning’s elder. It’s the juniors who should defer to their elders—when has an elder ever stooped down to accommodate a junior?

She hadn’t even complained about the lot they drew, so why was Sang Ning the one acting all disgruntled?

All the other guests had already gathered based on their groups, except for Sang Ning and Li Sulan, who stood as far apart as possible, as if the Milky Way separated them.

[Judging by Sang Ning’s sour face, she genuinely doesn’t want to be paired with Li Sulan.]

[Is it just me, or does Li Sulan actually seem kind of eager to be grouped with Sang Ning? I noticed she kept sneaking glances at Sang Ning earlier, trying to stand closer, but Sang Ning ignored her. Unable to let go of her wealthy lady airs, she could only keep posturing.]

[Definitely just your imagination. The Sang Family often gives Li Sulan a hard time; there’s no way she’d want to group up with Sang Ning unless she’s out of her mind.]

"Groupings are complete. Next, let’s have everyone draw their mountain climbing cards." Director Sun clapped his hands lightly, immediately prompting staff to bring over a stack of cards.

The guests were puzzled. Sang Chuan voiced everyone’s confusion outright.

"If we’re climbing the mountain, we’ve got legs. We can walk ourselves! Why bother with all these gimmicks?"

Director Sun chuckled, "Just walking up the mountain isn’t very fun, especially since you’ve just formed your new families. To help you bond quickly, the show has prepared different ways to climb the mountain—like tying two people’s feet together for a tandem ascent, or riding the cable car together. Which method you get depends completely on your luck."

As soon as Director Sun finished speaking, Chu Xi raised her hand, "Director Sun, I’ll go first!"

Chu Xi was confident. Apart from that unfortunate incident of being swapped at birth, she generally had a knack for lucky breaks.

Mr. Shen pumped his fist to cheer her on, "Go for it, Little Chu! I believe in you!"

On the very first day of filming, Chu Xi had managed to draw the card for a grand meal. Mr. Shen was certain her streak of good fortune would continue.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!" The moment Chu Xi pulled a card out of the envelope, she jumped and shouted excitedly, "Uncle Shen, it’s cable car! We don’t have to walk up the mountain!"

"Yes!" Mr. Shen clenched his fists in exhilaration as well.

[Chu Xi’s koi-like luck is truly unmatched. First try, and she draws such a sweet deal.]

[With Chu Xi hogging all the luck, the rest of the guests are clearly doomed to disaster.]

"What the hell! Director Sun, are you messing with me? Why is my group’s card asking us to climb the mountain in flip-flops? Those things will kill me!" Sang Chuan clutched the card dramatically, collapsed to the ground, and wailed skyward.

"Oh, mine’s good. I don’t even have to walk anymore." Hu Zhi read her card aloud slowly, savoring the words, "The younger generation must carry the older generation up the mountain."

Shen Yi silently looked up at the towering mountain peak. Why was his shoulder already aching preemptively?

[Poor Shen Yi! Hu Zhi might look thin, but even carrying a puppy up the mountain would wear someone out by the time they reached the top.]

[Hu Zhi better have some self-awareness. If she really makes Shen Yi carry her all the way, I’ll tear her to shreds on the spot.]

[That’s hilarious! If you’re going after anyone, shouldn’t it be the program team first? This harebrained plan wasn’t Hu Zhi’s idea to begin with.]
