I joined a travel reality show with my best friend, and she was suddenly proposed to by a famous movie star.
In the romantic atmosphere, I screamed: "Stop! Stop! Haven't taken photos yet! Don't kneel first! Don't say yes yet!"
Without hesitation, I squatted down, stuck my butt out, and frantically snapped pictures from all angles.
The esports god beside me fell into contemplation looking at the photos on my camera, which only showed the back of the movie star's black head and my best friend's beautiful face.
I wiped away tears of excitement: "Boohoo, what are you waiting for, give my best friend some fill light!"
The esports god spoke cautiously: "..."
"Um... do you want to consider taking a picture of the guy's face?"
Netizen's hot comment:
[What's the difference between this and a war correspondent!! Begging for such a supportive bestie!!]
[Who said this best friend is no good! This best friend is amazing! I totally accept!!!]

When my best friend Chloe Miller brought the variety show invitation, I was diligently Photoshopping her beautiful photos on the computer, emitting my ten-thousand-and-first sigh:
"Beauty attack! How can there be such a flawless modeling face!!"
"It's really a waste on that brat Liam Brooks!!!"
Yes, Liam Brooks is the pig that dug up my best friend's cabbage!
Chloe couldn't help pursing her lips and smiling:
"So can you join the travel variety show with me? I recommended you to the director team."
"Travel variety show?"
I blinked, a bit reluctant.
Although Chloe is a popular female star in the entertainment industry, as her best friend, I am indeed a solid C-lister who gets chased and scolded.
The reason is simple.
When Chloe and Liam met at the peak, the movie king and queen announced their relationship, almost blowing up Twitter trending topics.
I, the best friend who knew the inside story, was pushed into the public eye.
Interviews followed one after another, asking me:
"In your opinion, who is more outstanding, Chloe or Liam?"
At that time, I answered honestly:
"Chloe has won the Best Actress Award three years in a row. I see all her hard work and feel distressed for her, so in my opinion, Chloe is more outstanding."
But this passage was edited and marketed in various ways, and finally the style gradually twisted into—
I think Liam is not worthy of Chloe.
Liam's fans thought I was smearing their idol.
CP fans thought I was sowing discord.
Chloe's fans thought I was deliberately rubbing off popularity and stepping on others.
So, I was besieged by three families and became a C-lister.
Fortunately, Chloe often dropped coins and introduced gigs, so I didn't starve to death.
But this variety show is live...
Sensing my hesitation, Chloe came over and rubbed against me:
"Sierra, please, traveling so far away, people are scared~"
Me: "..."
This sister didn't say that when she climbed five mountains in five days alone. She said she was a woman like an eagle...
Unable to withstand such a lively beauty acting coquettish, I rubbed my eyebrows:
"Alright then..."
