Chapter 744: Chapter 743: Lending a Hand, Gentleman, Huai
The beginning was very clean and straightforward, but the process was less than ideal.
The show’s famous female soprano screamed from start to finish and even broke her voice during the crash. Eventually, she landed with a plop in the pile of Pipi Dragon’s vehicle.
And then, she didn’t hit a single one.
But at least she is someone who has been on many variety shows and is quite popular. Even when she was scared like that, the first thing she did after falling was to open her eyes, grab a random Pipi Dragon, then close her eyes again and slowly climb onto the vehicle.
Then she seriously told the staff: "I’ve caught one."
This professional spirit is truly touching. The director decided to let her off the hook.
Well, she landed on the three-seater, which isn’t good anyway.
Shu Ran began to tackle the obstacle course.
Sitting up, she barely touched the ground by stretching her toes, and then everyone just needed to appreciate the elegant caterpillar’s wriggling.
Guan Yu watched idly for half a minute and then turned to Shi Yuhuai: "Brother Huai, have you really decided to let her off? Don’t want revenge?"
Li Yang leaned over: "Sister Guan Yu, you’re instigating. You’ve all been hassling Brother Huai, why only have him take revenge on Sister Shu Ran?"
"Because we all finished before him," she said innocently, "Besides, everyone knows online that the two of them are rivals with a grudge."
Shi Yuhuai: "I have a grudge with you too."
"It’s different," Guan Yu pointed to him and Shu Ran’s direction and said, "You two have a personal grudge, but Mu Qiu and I have a grudge against everyone."
Shi Yuhuai: "At least you know yourself."
Mu Qiu: "...Don’t drag me into this, I’m a good person."
The bystander Jiang Zhufeng still didn’t get it: "So why aren’t you taking revenge, Brother Huai?"
"It’s not the time to take revenge. The shorter her time, the less likely we are to face her. Guan Yu says she has a grudge with me; if she’s second to last, our costume choice is out."
For a rare occasion, he said such a long sentence and shared his analysis, probably because the new guest is a good teammate — not talkative, disruptive, or noisy.
Jiang Zhufeng nodded and summarized: "A gentleman’s revenge can wait ten years."
Meaning that he’s definitely going to take revenge, just not in this round of games.
He nods, admitting to it.
Not taking revenge is impossible, at most letting her off now.
Having been temporarily let off, Shu Ran was still alert. She kept an eye on the situation outside, afraid that Shi Yuhuai and others might suddenly rush in to disrupt things.
But even until the obstacle course ended, she was safe.
She felt a bit odd, glanced around the sandbag, checking everyone outside.
No one was missing, indicating no one was hiding out of her sight scheming against her.
No one approached either; everyone was sitting on the ground drinking water, fanning themselves, chatting idly, looking over innocently.
She felt a bit relieved, ready to jump and hug the sandbag to end this round of the game.
But the problem arose right here.
The gravity sandbag didn’t drop, the ending bell stubbornly refused to ring.
She was too light; no matter how many times she tried, she couldn’t pull it down.
Guan Yu, the representative of slightly overweight, mocked: "Tsk tsk tsk, didn’t expect there would be a day when being too thin isn’t an advantage. If it were me, one hand and it’d be ringing."
Mu Qiu obediently sat next to Cheng Zhirang and asked: "Sister Shu Ran won’t be stuck unable to ring the ending bell, right? Sailed smoothly until now but can only waste time on the simplest final challenge."
"Very likely, we may have to watch her jump around for quite a while."
A while? Delaying the time?
Standing at the back, Shi Yuhuai raised his hand to ask the director: "Can I help? Her weight won’t change, she definitely can’t ring it."
Everyone, including Shu Ran herself: "?!"
What kind of novel revenge method is this? Is he still upset and wants to publicly "humiliate" Shu Ran?
The director glanced at the endlessly jumping Shu Ran, whose makeup was about to run, and nodded to agree.
"Ask everyone first whether they agree to you helping."
"Agree, agree! How can anyone disagree?! It’s such a harmonious and loving scene!"
"Absolutely agree, Brother Huai, just go ahead boldly!"
"Sister Shu Ran, it’s okay, he won’t slap you down."
Everyone agreed, so Shi Yuhuai walked onto the soft mat.
Shu Ran exploded, fervently rejecting: "I don’t need help! Even if I did, it couldn’t be him! Director! You’re catering to their bad taste! Don’t come over! I don’t nee... hmm???"
Shi Yuhuai strode swiftly to Shu Ran’s side, gave her a scornful look, raised his hand, nonchalantly tugged the top of the sandbag down, and then left with his mission accomplished.
"Shu Ran took four minutes and seventeen seconds!"
Shu Ran was still a bit dumbfounded.
Was this person really just here to help?
The people outside were also dumbfounded, watching Shi Yuhuai walk back expressionlessly, displaying an unconcerned, carefree demeanor, like a world-class expert indifferent to mundane affairs.
Everyone cheered for this expert.
"Brother Huai is so manly!"
"Love that attitude, so cool, I like it!"
"Brother Huai also enjoys helping others one day?!"
"I somehow want to call you a gentleman, Brother Huai. Maybe I’m crazy."
"Brother Huai, are you annoyed by Shu Ran’s dragging too slow? No need to answer, I know that’s what you mean. My youthful spirit hasn’t ended."
Shi Yuhuai returned to his spot, contentedly taking a sip of water.
Great, now Shu Ran won’t be second to last.
According to the current ranking, Guan Yu’s team is second to last.
Though not a good person either, compared to the belt-bound pants set, the pink shorts set is much more acceptable.
Don’t think he didn’t see it; the belt-bound top is a semi-transparent black shirt. The collar has two pure black silk ties.
This kind of clothing he wore during a runway show; even if covered, it wouldn’t deceive him.
And the pink shorts set is just a bit childish, but at least a little more normal.
He can accept that.
As Shu Ran left the mat, she walked to Shi Yuhuai and looked at him with subtle eyes, as if saying: Your taste is truly unique, actually preferring pink.
Shi Yuhuai chose to ignore it; after all, at his height, not bowing means he couldn’t see her eyes.
Shu Ran, in awkward posture and expression, returned to her team, everyone then stood in a line waiting for the director to announce the final results.
Thinking about soon being able to designate performance outfits for each other, some people felt so excited they couldn’t wait to strip someone of their clothes and replace them.
Like Guan Yu, she looked at Shi Yuhuai’s body like her eyes were gleaming.
The director sat cross-legged on the mat and didn’t keep them in suspense, directly announcing: "First game’s timing rankings—
Li Yang first place. Cheng Zhirang, Xu Cheng, Bai Shu second place. Shu Ran third place. Mu Qiu, Lin Lian fourth place. Guan Yu, Chuchu, Zhang Li fifth place. Shi Yuhuai, Jiang Zhufeng last place.
According to the ranking order, everyone can designate any costume for the next team. Then, we’ll start with... ah, start with the last place’s designation."
