Chapter 743: Chapter 742: Come Back! Come Back!
"Brother Cheng, do you think my look suits that black shirt pretty well?"
"Xu Cheng, we’re old buddies, can I have that white t-shirt? Come, come, drink some water."
"Brother Cheng, Brother Cheng, look at me, look at my lovely face and graceful curves, don’t you think they’d fit that leather mini-skirt perfectly?"
"How was the shoulder massage? Comfortable, right? So, do you think I’d suit that school-style outfit?"
A bunch of people surrounded Cheng Zhirang, offering all sorts of attentive services and sweet words to please him. Mu Qiu stood on the outside with nowhere to step, enjoying the breeze from a little fan, feeling very content.
Stuck in the middle, Cheng Zhirang was caught between laughing and crying. He asked them, "Wearing nice clothes would add points to the final stage, wouldn’t it? And if you gain points, wouldn’t you win over the others? You had a clear plan from the start, why change your mind now?"
Shu Ran: "Having an ugly outfit for a whole season is unbearable. Plus, adding points for costumes doesn’t mean much, you can just deduct points on stage performance."
The others all nodded, going "mm-mm-mm."
It sounds like they figured out how to drift through the rest just to wear nice stage outfits.
"Alright," Cheng Zhirang said, "but we need to clarify first: Can the first place designate outfits for everyone behind them, or can the top three designate for the bottom three?"
Ah, that’s... also a big problem.
Li Yang immediately turned to ask the director, shouting, "Director! Who designates for whom in our rule?"
Director: "The first place designates for the second place. The second place designates for the third place, and so on. Follow the strict order."
Guan Yu: "It’s over, I massaged the wrong person."
She predicted their team to probably be second last, but who was third last? There were still Li Yang and Shu Ran who hadn’t tried yet.
Could it be Li Yang or Shu Ran? She glanced at Li Yang from the corner of her eye to see his reaction.
Li Yang evidently had also thought of this possibility and suddenly got spirited.
"Turns out I have a chance to designate for someone! We haven’t tried yet, maybe we can snatch a front rank!"
So he got to it immediately, volunteering to be the fifth group to play the game, and before the director could finish reading his name, he ran up the slide steps by himself.
"Here I come! I’m ready!"
Being a lone wolf, he didn’t need to strategize with anyone; he just had to make sure to grab a single-seat Pipi Dragon at the start.
"Youngsters really are full of energy, quick and decisive," Guan Yu said, imitating the look of an old man smoking a pipe.
"Sister Guan Yu, should we go disturb him?" Chuchu asked.
Guan Yu waved her hand, "No need, he’s cooperative. Because he’s quite foolish and easy to trick."
Chuchu: "..."
She looked up at the slide where Li Yang waited, grinning foolishly to glide down.
Indeed, he seemed quite easy to deceive.
Li Yang was prepared, and as soon as the staff gave him a push, he slid down cheering, not a bit scared.
He was also pretty lucky; after they changed the positions of the Pipi Dragons, the third slide he picked had a single-seater right in front.
This made him so happy that when he tumbled, he directly pounced out, landing on the single-seat Pipi Dragon, embracing it with intimate posture and pleasure.
However, the Pipi Dragon couldn’t withstand his gentle embrace and flipped over directly.
Learning from Cheng Zhirang’s experience earlier, he acted quickly this time. After leaping onto the single-seat Pipi Dragon, he straddled it and rode forward.
Tapping his toes, balancing left and right, he looked quite silly but moved swiftly. If a dog’s tail were added to the dragon’s tail, it’d probably wag beautifully.
More like riding a dog.
Mu Qiu sat at the edge of a cushion, resting her chin, her gaze uncontrollably drawn to the dragon’s tail.
What joyful twisting!
"Li Yang, haven’t your thighs sparked a fire yet? You’re rubbing the color right off that ride!"
Li Yang kept pedaling forward energetically, like a Corgi vigorously wiggling its bottom. He even showed off a bit while turning, sweeping and kicking his long leg smoothly through the danger zone.
Causing Guan Yu to let out a "Wow——."
"Youngsters love showing off. Unlike us, who would feel accomplished just conserving energy to finish this game."
Mu Qiu quickly asserted, "Don’t say that, I’m still young, I can run, jump, and eat well, not like you who can only eat liquid food."
"...... You’re the one eating liquid food! You’re the one eating liquid food!"
The two of them began chasing each other again, with Cheng Zhirang standing in front of Mu Qiu to block Guan Yu’s advances.
Shi Yuhuai, rolling his eyes at the side, said, "Boring."
Sister Shu Ran remained silent.
She was really nervous, so much so that if someone blew a whistle beside her, she might just start sprinting a hundred meters in pure tension.
She kept thinking: Li Yang, slow down a bit, slow down a bit.
Unfortunately, Li Yang quickly passed the obstacle course, easily jumped up to hug the sandbag, and rang the finish bell.
"Li Yang, time used: two minutes and forty seconds!"
Then it was Shu Ran’s turn.
Going up the slide platform, she turned back to warn Mu Qiu and Guan Yu, "No messing around, I might really crash!"
Mu Qiu, hiding behind Cheng Zhirang, gave an ’ok’ gesture: "Don’t worry, I won’t mess around. But I can’t guarantee someone else won’t." She shot a glance at Shi Yuhuai.
Shi Yuhuai refused eye contact and turned away, not wanting to deal with them.
"Hurry up and get up there; your grip’s about to snap a nail. There’s nothing to be nervous about; even if Brother Huai pesters you, you probably won’t do worse than him."
Makes sense. Looking at Li Yang’s earlier performance, going solo might even save more time.
Feeling slightly more at ease, she went towards the slide.
Choosing the third slide, the blindfolded staff below shuffled the Pipi Dragons randomly.
Shu Ran watched helplessly as the single-seat Pipi Dragon moved away, placed in front of the first slide.
"...Come back! Come back! Put it back!"
She clung to the tire cushion, wanting to switch to the first slide.
The staff timely stopped her.
She kept shouting to come back, her expression agitated and voice filled with despair, like a mother seeing her child off.
The crowd below laughed uncontrollably.
"Just accept it, Sister Shu Ran! There’s no single-seater left, a double-seater will do, right?"
"Let it go, Shu Ran! Don’t insist, just pounce on anyone!"
"Hahaha Shu Ran, how are you so unlucky!"
"Unlucky person, I think you’ll get strangled when she comes down."
"...Sister Shu Ran, you can do it! Don’t worry! Just grab a shorter one!"
"Sister Shu Ran’s voice is so shrill, but why is it so funny!"
"Hurry up, Shu Ran, it’s so sunny, your makeup will melt."
The last line was from Shi Yuhuai, and it was the most effective.
The elegance of a celeb’s makeup must not be ruined! That is absolutely unacceptable!
Shu Ran touched her face, steeling herself, and without needing a push from the staff, propelled herself down the slide.
