Chapter 248
[Ahhhh this is making me so nervous, Xiao Jingxi almost touched Old Xie, dame!!]
[The starting positions are so unfair, why did they put Old Xie and Old Shen on opposite corners but made Old Xie face Xiao Jingxi head-on? The production team totally did that on purpose.]
[It’s fine, didn’t Old Shen arrive too? Old Xie is so quick, he’ll definitely dodge Xiao Jingxi, then he can just grab Old Shen’s hand!]
[Xie x Shen CP, charge for me!]
Director Niu looked around suspiciously, then turned back and began chanting the slogan again.
And the moment his eyes were blindfolded, all the contestants who had been keeping still instantly sprang into action.
A flash of ruthlessness crossed Xiao Jingxi’s eyes as he lunged at Xie Mi with full force.
Xie Mi bent down and rolled to dodge, shouting toward Shen Moqing:
“Behind you!”
Shen Moqing’s hand was already reaching forward.
But from behind, Yu Jinzhe suddenly pounced, both hands pressing onto his shoulders.
At this rate, the two of them would tumble onto the sand together, while Xiao Jingxi would finally grab the unprepared Xie Mi.
But that wasn’t how things turned out.
Just as Yu Jinzhe’s hands touched Shen Moqing’s shoulders, Shen Moqing seemed to sense it—he sank his shoulders, then dove forward into the sand.
Yu Jinzhe missed completely and flopped down like a frog.
Xiao Jingxi panicked and reached out to grab Xie Mi’s hand.
But just as his hand stretched out halfway, another slender, well-defined hand smacked it aside.
“Look closely.”
Shen Moqing raised his other hand—tightly clasped with Xie Mi’s—and looked at Xiao Jingxi with a half-smile. “We’ve already joined hands.”
Xiao Jingxi’s face darkened.
“Freeze!” Director Niu suddenly turned around at that moment.
However…
“Pffft! Ptui ptui ptui!” What greeted him was still a face full of sand.
This time, though, he saw clearly.
The sand wasn’t stirred up by guests running around. It was…
Director Niu slowly turned to the person deliberately tossing sand at him every time he turned around.
“Miss Lai!!!”
Caught red-handed, Lai Bingxuan tossed away the sand in her hands, crossed her arms, and declared boldly, “Yes, it was me. So what?”
Since she had no one she wanted to team up with, she wasn’t in any rush to run forward. Might as well use the time to get back at this director who kept coming up with such ridiculous punishments.
[Hahahahahaha ‘So what?’]
[Director Niu might actually be the biggest victim of this game.]
[Doesn’t matter, all I know is Xie x Shen CP held hands successfully—so satisfying!]
[What’s with Brother Jinzhe’s pose? Is that frog kung fu? I’m dying of laughter.]
[Wait… did Brother Jinzhe just try to pounce on Old Shen? Did I see that wrong?]
[What?! Yu Jinzhe wants to film a couple shoot with Mr. Shen?!!]
[Not like this…]
Director Niu wiped the sand off his face expressionlessly. “Miss Lai, you’re out! Please return to the starting point.”
“And congratulations to Teacher Xie and Mr. Shen for successfully forming a team. You two may go rest on the side!”
“Sweet!” Xie Mi happily high-fived Shen Moqing. “Thanks for rescuing me from the sea of suffering.”
Xiao Jingxi’s face grew even uglier.
To make it worse, Shen Moqing deliberately hissed softly, pretending to be fragile. “Teacher Xie, I think I twisted my ankle.”
“I’ll support you!”
Xie Mi’s voice shot up with excitement—definitely not because supporting Shen Moqing meant he could sneak a feel of those waist muscles. No, it was purely out of his love of helping others.
And so, the tall and the short figures leaned on each other and walked away together, leaving Xiao Jingxi behind, so angry that he flexed his pecs.
Green tea! Xie Mi, can’t you see he’s just a green tea boy!!
