Chapter 207
[？？？？？？？？]
[Sister Liu, what did you just say？？？？]
[This show is so abstract now. It was supposed to be a dating show, but it’s turned into a crazy circus. Even the gentlest woman has gone bad.]
[Hahahahaha Sister Liu saying that kind of thing with such a serious face is too cute. Who taught her that?]
[Good! Everyone’s gone mad!]
Liu Woxing’s one-liner successfully left the others on-site dumbfounded.
If earlier, when Liu Woxing told Qiu Chengye not to police her clothing, that could still be considered a reasonable response, then this one was a straight-up head-on roast.
The shift was… monumental.
Qiu Chengye was once again tongue-tied. He pointed at Liu Woxing, stammering “you, you, you” for ages.
Liu Woxing added, calmly: “If you can’t speak properly, you can donate your mouth.”
Qiu Chengye: “？？？？”
She must be insane!
The small interlude passed, and the game of musical chairs officially began.
The eight of them formed a circle. With the beat of the music, they started circling the chairs.
Everyone harbored their own schemes.
Qiu Chengye was convinced Liu Woxing was the undercover “secret couple” and glued his eyes to the back of her head.
Liu Woxing, meanwhile, was still savoring the satisfaction of roasting Qiu Chengye, once again grateful that she had read a few “roast scumbag” quotes before joining the show.
Xiao Jingxi’s gaze swept across everyone like an eagle-eyed scanner.
Xie Mi was busy thinking about how to cleverly complete the secret task with Shen Yuqing.
With how the game was going, it seemed impossible to maintain a close gaze for 30 seconds.
Unless…
Suddenly—the music stopped!
The previously calm circling broke into instant chaos. Eyes flashed green, bodies mutated, and they lunged like wolves and tigers at the chairs.
No kidding.
The first one out… only gets a single damned yuan!!!
“Ah——!”
With a scream, the first round had its loser.
The first eliminated: Lai Bingxuan, who was sent flying into the water by Qiu Chengye’s butt.
She landed with a splash, staring in disbelief at the seven occupied chairs.
“Lai Bingxuan, out!”
[A male guest just butt-bumped a female guest out of her seat? What the hell kind of dating show is this?!]
[？？？ I can’t believe the first one eliminated was Sister Lai, what？？]
Many viewers couldn’t believe Lai Bingxuan’s elimination.
After all, her fighting ability in dating shows was nothing to scoff at.
This game really could push people to their limits.
[Everyone acts so calm normally, but once the game starts, it’s like they’ve been possessed.]
[Everyone’s competitive streak has awakened.]
[Well duh, who wants to survive a month on just 4 yuan?]
Lai Bingxuan definitely lost because she underestimated them. She hadn’t expected such madness.
The others realized it too.
The atmosphere grew tenser and more cutthroat.
“Round two, start!”
Seven people, six chairs.
At first, they strolled casually. But once the music cut, they turned rabid again—hips shooting toward the chairs before their legs even moved.
This time, it was Xiao Jingxi and Qiu Chengye clashing.
Both aimed for the same chair, shoving and pushing, neither willing to yield.
Thoughtfully, Xie Mi picked up that chair and yeeted it into the air with a dramatic cry:
“Go, Wangcai!”
Xiao Jingxi and Qiu Chengye froze, then immediately bolted after it like wild horses.
The round ended with Qiu Chengye body-slamming Xiao Jingxi into the water, then planting his butt on the chair, even stomping on Xiao’s head to secure victory.
“Xiao Jingxi, out!”
[Is this game… supposed to be this brutal?]
[Damn, even Xiao’s hairpiece got crushed flat.]
Round three: Xie Mi was targeted.
After two consecutive victories, Qiu Chengye was on fire with confidence. He set his sights on his nemesis Xie Mi, scheming to trip her.
At the same time, Yu Jinzhe’s twisted mind stirred, his claws reaching for her too.
The moment the music stopped—Qiu Chengye deliberately tripped Xie Mi in the water, while Yu Jinzhe shoved away the chair near her.
But right then—
Xie Mi lifted her leg, stretched out her hand.
“Ahhh!!!”
Riiip—
A scream of agony and the sound of fabric tearing erupted together.
Qiu Chengye’s bones nearly cracked from her stomp.
Yu Jinzhe’s shirt was ripped open, revealing a tight muscle suit underneath.
“…………”
The scene froze in stunned silence.
Until the livestream comments exploded:
[So that’s why you looked jacked—you were wearing a muscle suit!!!]
Xie Mi, lightning-fast, claimed her chair, grinning at Yu Jinzhe.
“You and Xiao Jingxi can sit at the same table at the banquet.”
One wears a wig, one a muscle suit. What a pair.
Silent Yu Jinzhe: “……”
[LMAO even Jinzhe was faking it.]
[I’m dying, hahahaha, who told him to wear that? I knew his gym results couldn’t be that good.]
[I can’t, I’m really laughing myself sick.]
[They’ve all gone mad, every last one.]
#YuJinzheMuscleSuit
#XiaoJingxiAndYuJinzheTrulyRoommates
…
In the end, it was Qiu Chengye, limping with pain, who still managed to sit. Yu Jinzhe was eliminated.
“Yu Jinzhe, out!”
The game entered its boiling point.
The fewer the chairs, the greater the conflict. Everyone started playing dirty tricks.
Like circling closer to the chairs each step, grabbing with hands the instant the music stopped, or shoving others in the chaos…
Xie Mi and Shen Yuqing shared a subtle glance.
When the chaos peaked—that would be the best time…
The music stopped!
Everyone lunged. But before any butt hit a chair—
“Sharknado——!!”
Before they could react, Xie Mi turned into a human whirlpool, stirring up waves in the shallow water that sent all the chairs flying.
Gasps of shock. The others scrambled wildly. Someone tripped first, triggering a domino fall—everyone collapsing into a heap.
“Ouch!”
“Shit—”
“Wait—”
“Ah!”
“……”
Even the culprit Xie Mi wasn’t spared. She toppled into the water—straight onto a firm body.
Shen Yuqing half-lay in the water, one hand braced on the ground, the other supporting her waist.
Xie Mi pressed one hand on his shoulder, the other on his veined arm.
The instant their eyes met, they began to count silently.
30, 29, 28…
Chaos reigned around them as everyone struggled to rise. Xie Mi and Shen Yuqing made a show of trying too.
But their eyes never left each other.
The eliminated stood at the side, only seeing the pile of bodies thrashing in the water. With the blinding sunlight, it was almost impossible to notice anything unusual.
Ripples spread in the pool. Their clothes tangled together underwater.
Shen Yuqing’s gaze darkened.
His Adam’s apple bobbed once.
