My Idol System: An Idol, But Also A Savior-Chapter 208: The Arduous Race

At this moment, the official time had finally arrived, and Vale and Julia quickly appeared.

Before that, of course, they had to do a brief interview about today’s special invitations.

Liona and Tiffany went without saying. They were best friends, something everyone knew.

"Because Tiffany’s schedule happened to be free, of course I invited her right away. You have to know, it’s incredibly hard to get a date with her normally," Liona said in an extremely dramatic tone.

Hearing this, Julia smiled. "That’s right, it’s really rare to see Tiffany during a break."

The fans all wailed in unison. Only Tiffany remained expressionless, merely pushing up her glasses lightly. "Don’t listen to Liona’s nonsense."

Then it was Tina’s turn. She laughed softly and said, "During filming, Alex helped me a lot. We also had pretty good chemistry, so I invited him."

Alex, standing to the side, smiled as well when he heard this. The two of them looked close yet still a bit shy, instantly making the fans scream in excitement.

[Can’t take it, really can’t take it! The two of them are indeed such a perfect match!]

[Seeing them like this, I’m really waiting for the movie to come out to find out what their relationship is in the film]

[They’re seriously so cute!]

There were also some antis drifting around making sarcastic remarks, but in the end, their strength couldn’t compare to that of the fans. Before long, all the ugly comments were completely drowned out.

Over here, Joshua looked at the screen and said with a light smile, "Luis helped me a lot during filming. He’s really a great senior..."

Luis suddenly coughed lightly. Joshua immediately added, "He’s also a great big brother and often takes me out for late-night snacks."

Luis smiled and rubbed Joshua’s head.

Joshua didn’t dodge, only gloomily worrying that his head might go bald.

[Hahaha, seriously, during the time Joshua was on Lance’s crew, there wasn’t a single day when Lance didn’t update photos of them eating late-night snacks]

[Every day it’s pictures of all kinds of meat, I’m terrified]

[They’re really adorable]

[Is it just my imagination, or why do they suddenly seem pretty compatible too]

[They’re just brothers, please]

[I actually think they look alike, maybe they’re real brothers]

At this moment, it was Lucas’s turn. He said a little awkwardly, "Everyone knows that Louis is very busy. He said he would try his best to arrive as early as possible..."

Vale waved his hand and said with a smile, "We already know about that. Mr. Louis is certainly very busy. It’s really unexpected that Lucas could invite him to join us. You two must be very close."

Hearing this, Lucas waved his hand and smiled shyly, but did not say whether it was true or not.

Lucas’s fans immediately perked up.

[Judging from the guest list, Lucas’s friend is really top-tier among top-tier, hahaha]

[Agreed]

[The two of them must be very close!!!]

[If they’re that close, then Louis wouldn’t really arrive late, right?]

[Do you even know who Louis is? He’s the heir of the Adonis family. If he isn’t busy, then who is? Could it be people like you who have nothing to do all day are busy?]

[Hahaha, someone’s fandom is getting jealous]

Right at this moment, Joshua’s cheek was suddenly pinched. He turned his head and saw Luis looking at him. "What’s wrong? Why are you spacing out all of a sudden?"

Joshua shook his head. "It’s just that I heard a name that sounded a bit familiar."

"A bit familiar, you sure know how to put it, haha."

Obviously, the names Luis and Louis did sound somewhat similar, but what really made Joshua space out was not because the two names were alike, but simply because of the name Louis itself.

The world was so vast. It was normal for people to share the same name.

Joshua knew that, yet he still could not help feeling distracted.

[Not only are the fans jealous, even the idol is jealous hahaha]

[To be fair, Joshua hasn’t even done anything]

[Just spacing out for a moment and I somehow became the villain]

[I think Joshua is already very happy with Luis. There’s no need for you guys to make malicious guesses. Go worry about your own idols instead]

At this moment, they had already set off for today’s filming location.

It was a stadium that had been fully booked by the production team.

All the obstacles had been prepared in advance for them.

Julia smiled and said softly, "This will be a solo match for the guests. If you win this round, you’ll receive special advantages for the challenge that will take place in the afternoon!"

Now, let’s take a look at their track.

First was the balloon path. They had to run forward while making sure to pop all the balloons along the way. After that came the obstacle course. The obstacles were not very high, purely meant to slow them down and would not make them look too unsightly.

Next was collecting the loot. The prizes were the show’s mascot, a white kitten with dragon horns, quite adorable. Four plush toys could be seen hanging high up, while the ground below was covered with a tarp. Joshua wasn’t sure which, but it was blue, and he was certain there was something off about it.

Especially when Vale continued, "Whoever grabs the most plush toys will be the winner! Everyone, give it your all!"

Joshua and the others quickly took their positions and began warming up.

Today, Joshua was wearing a light gray hoodie paired with loose black jeans. There were cargo-style pockets on both sides, and a keychain decoration at his waist, along with a layer of plaid fabric peeking out underneath. Naturally, he was wearing white sneakers.

At this moment, a name tag was stuck onto his hoodie, and he kept stretching nonstop.

Luis walked over to him and said with a smile, "Your flexibility is pretty good already."

Joshua immediately performed a smooth spin right on the spot, proudly lifting his chin like an aristocratic cat. "Of course."

Luis couldn’t help but smile as he lightly pinched Joshua’s nose. "Do your best. Remember to bring back a victory for us."

As he spoke, he even waved his hand exaggeratedly, like a princess waiting for her prince.

Joshua secretly stuck out his tongue. When Luis tried to pinch his cheek, Joshua immediately dodged away.

Joshua pushed Luis away with one hand and said seriously, "Don’t distract me. If I don’t win anything, it’ll definitely be your fault."

Luis immediately raised both hands behind his head in a surrendering gesture. "Don’t just dump all the blame on me like that, Shua."

Hearing this, Joshua said solemnly, "Don’t call me that."

Luis raised an eyebrow. "Why?"

"Only Luther is allowed to call me that. If anyone else does, he’ll definitely sulk," Joshua said as if troubled, though the smile at the corner of his lips was unmistakable.

[This is crazy, absolutely crazy!!!!]

[So they’re basically married already, right?!]

[Just how badly does Luther sulk that Joshua even cares about something like this, hahaha]

[This shows that Joshua really cares about and likes Luther]

[Then Luther really got a great deal, he’s always bullying Joshua normally]

[That’s their love language, hahaha]

Luis clutched his chest dramatically. "I’m going to get jealous, Joshua."

Joshua thought for a moment. "You can just call me Joshua instead, or come up with another nickname..."

Before Joshua could finish speaking, the whistle sounded. He could only focus on the track ahead.

Everyone took their starting stances in a very professional manner, whether or not their posture was actually correct was another matter.

"Ready... start!"

Vale’s voice rang out along with a sharp whistle. Everyone immediately dashed forward. Their speed wasn’t slow at all. The key was to pop all the balloons along the way.

Tina popped balloons as she ran, screaming nonstop, looking like she was about to cry.

Alex, standing on the sidelines, immediately shouted encouragement.

The fans laughed happily, feeling that they were all incredibly adorable.

Among them, Lucas unexpectedly took the lead, while Tina was the slowest.

However, the others weren’t much slower than Lucas.

Especially at the obstacle section, the distance between them quickly closed. Joshua soon overtook Lucas.

He grinned, jumped straight onto the tarp on the ground, but the very next second, his expression changed drastically.

In an instant, Joshua’s face went from surprise to panic. He opened his mouth and screamed as his whole body slid forward, crashing straight into the air cushion prepared on the opposite side.

[...]

[Hahahahaha]

[That smug expression really didn’t last long]

[Poor Joshua, hahaha]

[You guys say he’s pitiful but still laugh like this, what’s wrong with you?! Anyway, I’m laughing too hahahahahaha]

Joshua hastily turned himself around, his back leaning against the soft cushion. He immediately saw the others also struggling their way forward.

The plush toys were hanging right in the middle. He could only quickly steady himself, but the moment his back left the air cushion, his body wobbled, and he plopped straight down onto the ground.
