Chapter 116

After sticking the teddy bear and satisfying his little wish, he let go of Chi Qi.

He withdrew his bear paw that was supporting the white wall, took a few steps back, and put some distance between him and him.

Chi Qi was still immersed in joy and instinctively wanted to get closer and continue the hug. He took a step forward and suddenly realized that this was not the right time.

He had no choice but to stop in annoyance.

Chi Qi never understood before why people who were deeply in love would feel a huge sense of satisfaction and pleasure because of a small gesture from their partner, or be moved to tears because of a small surprise.

Therefore, when he saw other people's written descriptions, his heart was very calm and there was no fluctuation.

But now, Chi Qi feels that he was too pretentious at that time.

Chi Qi felt as sweet as eating honey when her boyfriend suddenly appeared on the show wearing a doll costume, and her eyes were full of excitement.

He was so happy that even if Xie Mu made some excessive requests at this time, he would probably agree in a daze.

Chi Qi's eyes were curved, and the light amber pupils were clear and bright. "What should I do in order for you to give me a clue?"

No matter how sweet it was, he did not forget the task given by the program team, and he silently gave himself a thumbs up.

The ragdoll bear was silent for a few seconds and didn't say anything. He seemed to have mustered up a lot of courage before he started to move. He spread his left and right feet apart and made different gestures with his two bear paws.

Chi Qi watched in confusion as the teddy bear jumped once to the left, once to the right, once to the left, and finally spun around and stopped.

It looks a little familiar, is this... Pleasant Goat's thinking dance?

Chi Qi was not sure, he asked, "Do I have to jump this before you can tell me the clue?"

The ragdoll bear nodded. It was a very common action, but it inexplicably revealed a feeling that the bear's life was very bitter.

So that’s it. Chi Qi thought it was fun. Dancing with such a cute appearance was really too adorable. He felt like teasing her a little.

"I didn't remember the moves." He tilted his head like a stuffed bear, with a smile in his eyes, and asked innocently, "Can you dance again for me?"

The ragdoll bear nodded, and considerately slowed down the dance and danced for him again.

"Sorry." Chi Qi waited for him to finish dancing, then adjusted his expression and said apologetically, "I still don't remember it. Can you dance it again?"

One minute later.

Chi Qi clasped his hands together and begged in a soft voice, "One last time, one last dance. I promise I will remember this time."

[As I watched, I felt something was wrong. Her voice wasn't usually like this, so soft and obedient... She must be acting coquettish. ]

[It feels like flirting, my brother is not that close to others. ]

[Who is inside the teddy bear? I'm a little curious. ]

[Three minutes to find out the information of the people inside the teddy bear. ]

[It must be my boyfriend. At the beginning, my younger brother wanted to push the teddy bear away and said that he already had a boyfriend (he didn’t finish this sentence, so I’m not sure). Later, the teddy bear patted my younger brother and his expression changed immediately. He must have recognized the person in the teddy bear. ]

Xie Mu, who was wearing the doll costume, pursed his lips and sighed silently. He was about to dance again when the next second he heard a familiar voice with a smile.

[When I think of Xie Mu dancing in a doll costume, I want to laugh, but I can't. I have to hold it in. I can't laugh. If I laugh, he won't dance with me. 】

[No, I can’t hold it in anymore, hahahaha, I’m laughing secretly in my heart, hahahaha, he can’t hear it anyway. 】

Xie Mu, "..."

I heard that. I'm so sorry.

To Chi Qi's surprise, after waiting for a long time, the teddy bear didn't move. It was like a toy with the batteries removed. It just stood there, looking down at him.

Chi Qi was confused and didn't know what was going on. He made a random guess, "Can you only show me three times?"

These movements are very simple. Logically, you should be able to do them after watching them once. It is not surprising that the program team has set restrictions in this regard.

It would be a waste to find a good excuse. Xie Mu was originally still worrying about how to explain it, but he didn't expect Chi Qi to directly smooth it out for him, so he nodded in agreement.

After all, he was on a mission and time was tight. Chi Qi was still a little anxious. He didn't care about anything else and started jumping left and right and turning in circles without stopping.

He held out his hand for it, "Okay, give me the clue."

After getting the clue, Chi Qi successfully found the first product.

He looked down at the time and saw that nearly twenty minutes had passed. After a rough calculation, if he continued searching at this pace, he would only be able to find five items by the time the time was up.

We need to speed up.

The program crew didn't really kill off the guests, taking into account that most of the goods in the supermarket are relatively expensive, all goods that cost more than 20 yuan were priced at 20 yuan. But even so, the poor guests could not afford it.

Half an hour later.

Chi Qi found a total of four items and used up two clue opportunities. He met up with Meng Tianyu once in the middle, and Meng Tianyu also found four items.

The progress was still worrying. He wanted to sigh, but before he could even breathe out, he met Fu Chenglin at the corner.

Fu Chenglin greeted him warmly, "How many items did you find?"

"I won't tell you."

Fu Chenglin asked again, "What picture did you draw?"

"I won't tell you."

The production team also kept this a secret, and each group did not know who took the photo they drew.

Fu Chenglin said a lot of things, but found that Chi Qi was facing away from him and didn't even look at him, "Did you listen to me?"

Chi Qi replied simply, "No."

"Why don't you listen to me?"

Chi Qi looked at him with a look full of condemnation, "When you were in school, were you the kind of person who not only didn't study hard, but also talked and disturbed others' studies?"

"What kind of rumor is this?" Fu Chenglin clarified, "When I was in school, I was an excellent student with excellent academic performance and received scholarships every semester."

"No."

Fu Chenglin followed closely behind him and asked, "I'm so sincere, but you don't believe me."

"Shut up." Chi Qi was impatient and walked forward quickly to get rid of him. "If you don't do the task, I still have to do it. Don't delay me from finding things."

"How heartless." Fu Chenglin was willing to talk business after he had finished harassing her. "I came to discuss something with you."

"How about we exchange information?" He said, "I have asked the other three groups, but none of them got the photo my group took, so I suspect our two groups got the photo of each other."

"Show me the photo in your hand."

Fu Chenglin handed it over readily, "Here you go."

Chi Qi took a quick look and found that it was indeed a photo he took.

"I didn't lie to you." Fu Chenglin took the paper back with one hand and put his other free hand on Chi Qi's shoulder, looking like a good brother. "How about cooperation?"

Chi Qi confirmed again, "Then the one in my hand was taken by you?"

"Um."

Chi Qi frowned, "Is this the photo you mentioned that is easy to identify?"

Fu Chenglin felt no guilt for telling lies, "It's easy for me to tell."

“…”

Chi Qi tightly grasped the paper at the corner of his clothes, wanting to smear the picture in his hand on his face.

Fu Chenglin expressed his idea, "How about we help each other find nine items, and pay for the remaining cheapest item ourselves?"

"Who knows if you will cheat me."

"Look into my sincere eyes." Fu Chenglin raised four fingers and swore to the sky, "I will cheat anyone but you."

Chi Qi chuckled twice and raised the picture in his hand, "Haven't you cheated me enough?"

Although he was not a good person, his idea was a good one. After Chi Qi criticized him a few times, he agreed.

The cooperation was successfully reached, and both of them unloaded the heavy responsibility on their shoulders and felt a lot more relaxed. Fu Chenglin chatted with him, "Have you ever met a stuffed bear?"

Even if Chi Qi didn't respond, he could still talk excitedly by himself, "...In the end, he gestured to me and told me that my jump was not standard, and asked me to jump again and again. I jumped more than ten times before I successfully got the clue."

"I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel like that stuffed bear is deliberately making things difficult for me."

"To make things difficult for you?" Chi Qi looked up at him, "Do you have a grudge against the teddy bear?"

Fu Chenglin said nonchalantly: "No, I don't even know who is inside."

It couldn't be that the people in there were actually his haters, right?

After thinking about it, I denied this possibility. If they were really his black fans, it would not be as simple as repeating the dance a dozen times. They would probably beat him up.

Chi Qi curled his lips, "Why is the puppet bear making things difficult for you for no reason? I think you are just a mean person..."

Halfway through his speech, his expression changed.

Wait, this scene seems... a little familiar?

An idea suddenly popped up in his mind: Could it be that Xie Mu was helping him get revenge?

Fu Chenglin didn't notice his strange expression and threw the dirty water on the production team. "It could be that Director Niu ordered it, just to waste our precious time."

You can sit at home and something bad may happen to you.

Niu Kulu, who was guarding outside the supermarket, sneezed loudly. He rubbed his nose and felt that his cold had become more serious. He quickly picked up the thermos on the table and drank some hot water.

Fu Chenglin complained quietly, "What a black-hearted production team."

Chi Qi felt the same way, and did not correct his wrong guess, and cursed, "Black-hearted program crew."

Fu Chenglin continued: "Black-hearted teddy bear."

"???"

Chi Qi was very protective of his boyfriend and couldn't stand any slander from irrelevant people. His tone turned cold and he responded coldly, "You are the one with a black heart."

"Yes, you think so too..." Fu Chenglin turned back in surprise, "You said I'm black-hearted?"

"Yes."

Fu Chenglin pointed his finger at himself, very angry at Chi Qi's accusation of not distinguishing right from wrong, and even raised his voice a few degrees, "I am black-hearted?"

Are you sure about that? He is the victim, the innocent and unlucky one!

Chi Qi replied affirmatively, "Well, you are black-hearted."

Fu Chenglin stiffened his neck and said, "I think you are sick."

"Rebound, you are sick."

"If the rebound doesn't work, you are sick."

[I finally understand why Fu Chenglin’s agent doesn’t allow him to appear on variety shows. He talks too much and it’s getting a bit annoying. Someone please take away his battery. ]

[This is how the elementary school students in my class quarreled. ]

[I feel like my fantasy about Fu Chenglin has been shattered. In my impression, he is a cool and aloof guy. ]

[Another person who was deceived by the edited video. His aloofness was fake, and his funny and childishness was real. ]

The two of them fought and attacked each other for ten minutes.

"I see."

Suddenly, Fu Chenglin realized that when Chi Qi was scolding the program crew, he clearly joined him in scolding, but now the target was the teddy bear, and he would not allow him to say anything bad about the teddy bear.

There is definitely something wrong here, there is something fishy.

Fu Chenglin put the clues together, and the truth gradually became clear. He boldly guessed, "The puppet bear is in cahoots with you, right? He is making things difficult for me just for you."

After waiting for a few seconds and hearing no objection, he knew that he had guessed correctly.

The one hundred minutes passed quickly, and regardless of whether the guests had found all the goods, they were forced to stop.

Everyone gathered back at the supermarket entrance, and the staff was responsible for counting the number of goods.

Niu Kulu waved his hand in a pretentious manner, "All the decimal points in the prices have been erased for everyone."

After the final check, the staff announced that Chi Qi and Meng Tianyu's group still had a bag of dried fruits that they had not found, and they needed to pay another fourteen yuan.

Because all the groups had reached a cooperation, the other groups deliberately left one item unfinded, and accordingly, the price they had to pay was maintained between 10 and 20 yuan.

The gap did not widen and the ranking did not change.

No change is the best change. Chi Qi is very Buddhist and just wants to maintain his current state.

After a short rest.

Niu Kulu clapped his hands and suggested, "Everyone is tired from looking for things, let's go to the arcade and play some games to relax."

The entire shopping mall has been generously booked by the production team, and you can visit every floor at will.

Kuang Ye didn't move, and asked cautiously, "Does it cost money to play games?"

He doesn't want to get involved in anything that requires spending money.

Niu Kulu was silent for two seconds, "Don't talk about money all the time. Talking about money hurts our feelings."

Everyone: It’s all because of you that we’re talking about money!

"Playing games is tiring too." Meng Tianyu sat there without any image and looked up at him, "If you really want us to rest, don't arrange anything for us."

Lu Jinyue said: "There is no such thing as a free lunch, and there are no free games in the world, so I won't go."

"If you don't go, then I won't go either."

"If you guys don't go, I definitely won't go."

Seeing that the guests were about to go on strike, in order to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, Niu Kulu had to tell the truth, "No need to spend money, we have already exchanged game coins in advance, everyone can take them and play the game for free."

Most of the people present are public figures. Whenever they go out, they have to disguise themselves carefully. They generally stay away from shopping malls with large traffic like this one.

This rare opportunity should not be missed, so everyone took the elevator to the video game arcade.

First, everyone took a handful of game coins and put them in their pockets, and then everyone went to the game machine that interested them.

Chi Qi and Chi Sulu walked to the innermost area at the same time and stood in front of the claw machines. It was obvious that both siblings had a special liking for the cute dolls.

After inserting a coin, Chi Qi tried to control the remote control lever.

I tried several times in a row, but every time the robot's claws just picked up the doll, it would fall down. Even if I was lucky and successfully grabbed the doll and moved it a certain distance, it would fail at the last moment and the doll would fall down.

On the other hand, Chi Sulu next to him has reaped a lot in a short period of time, with a doll in his left hand and a doll in his right hand.

She put the dolls in the basket, looked at Chi Qi's miserable record of zero defeats so far, and commented sharply, "What a loser, he hasn't caught a doll in such a long time."

"That's because you're lucky." Chi Qi choked back with his wings stiff.

[Don’t think I don’t know that the claw machines in shopping malls, although they are crowded and have low barriers, look very easy to grab, but in fact the mechanical claws are weaker than my life. 】

"You don't believe me when I say you're a bad player." Chi Su folded his hands and pressed them together, eager to try. "Look, I'll show you my skills."

In front of Chi Qi, she easily controlled the mechanical claw to grab a doll again, then half-knelt down and picked up the doll from the exit, with a smile on her lips, "See? This is strength. If you are new, just practice more!"

Chi Qicai was unwilling to admit that it was his own technical problem, "You definitely won't be able to catch it if you use my claw machine."

[Claw machines all have set programs. The reason I couldn’t catch a doll was simply because I didn’t try enough times. 】

While the brother and sister were arguing, a stuffed bear appeared silently behind Chi Qi and was slowly approaching him.

[The teddy bear appears again. ]

[My blind guess is that he came here to help his brother catch the dolls.] ]

There was a gentle pat on his shoulder, and before Chi Qi could turn around to see who it was, he was hugged.

It was a very intimate posture, with the stuffed bear half bent over, pressed against the boy's back, with its arms around his shoulders and its paws covering his hands.

Chi Qi was stunned for a moment. Is this... are you going to help me catch the doll?

The claw machine started again. Xie Mu should know the technique of grabbing dolls. He used the remote control lever flexibly and the progress was very smooth. With a smooth flick of the claw, he grabbed the doll.

The surprise came so suddenly that Chi Qi couldn't believe it and blinked several times.

He didn't pick up the fallen doll immediately. Instead, he turned around excitedly and hugged the stuffed bear first, rubbing his cheek against the furry fabric outside, "You are awesome."

[Gie~gie~ you are so annoying~~~]

[It seems that my brother turns into a little cat who likes to cling to and rub against the teddy bear whenever he sees it. ]

[After the teddy bear arrived, my brother didn’t even look at the doll that he had been coveting. ]

Just a few words of praise gave the Ragdoll Bear great satisfaction. He was full of energy and showed off his skills by grabbing a few more dolls.

Chi Qi gave enough emotional value, and looked at the stuffed bear with stars in his eyes, exclaiming, "It's amazing!!!"

The Chi Sulu who were watching, "..."

Have you, the man and the bear, forgotten that I'm a living person next to you?

Just by looking at Chi Qi's worthless appearance, she had already guessed who was inside the stuffed bear without even taking off the hood.

It's so abominable. She has always been the one showing off her affection to others, and this is the first time someone has been so close to her in showing affection.

Chi Qi waved the squirrel doll in his left hand to show off, "It's cuter than yours." He then waved a few smaller dolls in his right hand, "There are more than yours."

Chi Sulu was fed a mouthful of dog food, and his eyes turned resentful, "What are you so proud of? It's not like you caught it yourself."

Chi Qi snorted a few times, "If it's in my hand, I caught it."

Suddenly, the teddy bear who had been listening silently took his hands and pressed them on his body.

It must be said that the man and the bear have a good understanding. Even though they didn't even look at each other, Chi Qi immediately understood his hint and retorted loudly, "Who said I can't catch the doll?"

Chi Sulu asked, "Which one did you catch?"

She sees it clearly and is not someone who can be fooled easily.

"This one." Chi Qi happily grabbed the teddy bear's arm and raised it high.

"Look, I caught it."

[Hehe, this teddy bear belongs to me, and no one can catch it except me. 】

Chi Sulu, "..."

I only remembered to peel the apple, but forgot to peel my younger brother.

[Hahahaha, how come this isn’t considered “catching”? ]

[Just pet the stuffed bear. ]

[These interactions are so sweet, I'm resurrected, I want to ship this couple again! ! ! ]

[Forcing a smile, it feels like Sister Lu is about to break. ]
