Fool
He looked at the person who was shrinking beside him and decreasing his presence.
Chu Yuan didn’t know that “she” had done so many things and appeared on so many variety shows. She felt a little embarrassed, but at the same time she felt that she was quite amazing.
She's quite hardworking, having produced so many works in two years.
Of course, she also noticed Zhu Yan's gaze.
"Why are you looking at me?" She thought she looked very fierce, but in fact, with her nose snorting, she looked more like a little animal throwing a tantrum.
Zhu Yan laughed out loud.
The few people in front were discussing what the next levels would be, and the two of them were walking at the back.
"You seem to be very capable." Zhu Yan said.
"You're amazing too." Chu Yuan quickly followed up, but instead of complimenting him, he changed the subject and said, "You actually know so much about me. Didn't Teacher Zhu seriously research me before?"
Her perspective on the problem was tricky and peculiar, and her unexpected approach caught Zhu Yan off guard.
"Well, I know everyone." Zhu Yan responded to all changes with the same attitude.
Chu Yuan quickly said, "Then Teacher Zhu, please tell us about Sister Tong Yin's representative song. You should know that Sister Tong Yin is a popular young actress."
Chu Yuan admitted that he said that on purpose.
On the one hand, it was because of the system task. Tong Yin wanted to create a couple with Zhu Yan, so she couldn't let Tong Yin succeed. At this moment, she was talking to Zhu Yan, and Tong Yin must be listening.
On the other hand, it is the result of Chu Yuan reading miscellaneous books for so many years. When dealing with yanderes with tsundere syndrome, sometimes you have to go against the grain.
She looked at Zhu Yan with bright eyes, and saw that Zhu Yan was also looking at her.
After a while, he chuckled.
"Teacher Chu Yuan is so concerned about me. Do you know what Teacher Tong Yin's representative work means?"
He is very smart and knows how to change the perspective of the unsolvable problem and put the initiative in his hands.
"I just want to see if Teacher Zhu really agrees with what I think. It's okay if Teacher Zhu can't express it, I understand."
The two people walking behind, their conversation was not loud, so the people discussing in front would not notice it.
But Chu Yuan still said this on purpose, and his words inadvertently increased the pressure on the other party.
But Zhu Yan was able to make his mark in the entertainment industry, so naturally he didn't take these things to heart.
"Teacher Chu Yuan knows about my early works, so why should I know about yours? But I don't know when Teacher Chu Yuan started paying so much attention to me."
Zhu Yan brought the question back to the subject again. A normal person would definitely be confused by his repetitive thinking.
On the surface, the two people call each other teachers, but in fact, there are turbulent waves inside.
Chu Yuan tilted his head innocently, "What's so strange about me following Teacher Zhu? Teacher Zhu is an award-winning actor, so of course I idolize you."
Her voice was soft, yet a little sharp. This was the first time Zhu Yan had this strange feeling.
In the past, he appeared to be a cool and aloof actor, but in fact, few people around him could talk him down, including his friends.
They all say that it’s hard to find a girlfriend with such a sharp tongue.
Zhu Yan remained silent. Now he thought that he should really call his friends to see who was the more vicious one.
How come such a cute face has a mouth?
Little did he know that Chu Yuan also thought so. How could such a handsome guy have such a talkative mouth?
A yandere boy is not cute if he talks too much, you know? He should talk less and cry more.
How cute with red eyes.
Zhu Yan was about to speak when he was interrupted by Han Xiaoyan in front of him.
Han Xiaoyan wanted to look back to see why Chu Yuan was walking so slowly, but unexpectedly he happened to hear Chu Yuan's last words.
He spoke loudly and said, "Eh? Chu Yuan, are you a fan of Brother Zhu Yan? No wonder you even mentioned his less popular film and television works."
Chu Yuan originally had the upper hand in this bloodless fight with Zhu Yan, but Han Xiaoyan caused such a big mess that the little momentum he had was gone in an instant.
She looked at Han Xiaoyan helplessly, and Han Xiaoyan thought it was a look of affirmation, so she nodded more confidently.
Zhu Yan laughed out loud on the side.
He has fair skin and bright eyes, and when he smiles he gives off a naughty yet pure feeling. The word "pure" is not appropriate to describe an adult man, but it is not inappropriate when applied to Zhu Yan.
He is like the bright color between black and white.
[Oh my god, how can my husband be so handsome? He even looks so good climbing a mountain.]
[Why is Zhu Yan so happy? Is it because Chu Yuan is his fan?]
[I was wondering what they were whispering about all the time. So this is what they were talking about. Could it be that fans and idols were exchanging thoughts?]
[Zhu Yan: How do you know about the Wonderful Night of Song and Dance?, Chu Yuan: I'm your fan.]
Chu Yuan didn't realize that because she was labeled as a fan of Zhu Yan, his fans began to defend her.
Adhering to the mentality of treating fans as one family, Chu Yuan is already considered one of theirs.
Chu Yuan didn't want to explain anything to Han Xiaoyan, because even if he did, he wouldn't understand! !
Idiot idiot idiot.
She secretly glared at the two stupid men, walked away angrily, leaving Han Xiaoyan confused.
Han Xiaoyan scratched his head, not understanding, and asked Zhu Yan beside him, "Is Chu Yuan angry?"
"No." Zhu Yan smiled and looked at Chu Yuan's back, "Maybe it hit something that was bothering him and he got angry out of shame."
"Is she your fan?" Han Xiaoyan asked casually, "I was thinking you two seemed to know each other well. So that's how it is."
If that's the case, then it's understandable why Zhu Yan can always cling to Chu Yuan, after all, he's an idol.
Since that was the case, Han Xiaoyan decided that in order to cling to Chu Yuan's thigh, he would also cling to Zhu Yan's thigh as well.
"Are we familiar with each other?" He said with a hint of meaning, "Maybe."
After passing the first level and going up, you can feel the overall majesty of the mountain.
The slope became steeper as we went up, and there were no stone steps, so the wooden stick in our hands became our only support.
Only then did they understand the meaning behind the director's decision not to allow them to bring anything. At this altitude, the more things they carry, the higher the danger.
The narrow path hidden in the wild mountains and jungles made it impossible for them to walk side by side, and at most two people could walk side by side.
Fang Zhou and Zhao Luoyi were walking in front to explore the way, while Han Xiaoyan was between Chu Yuan and Zhu Yan.
The grass and trees on the barren mountain were more than one meter tall. They gradually walked to a place where there was no road and could only rely on their legs to cut through the obstacles.
But fortunately, they soon saw red flags and staff.
There were a few stools and a bucket of water at the staff's feet.
After walking for nearly an hour without a break, they were already tired.
"Hello everyone, congratulations to everyone, the second level will be here soon." The staff said with a smile.
Han Xiaoyan sat down on the stool without thinking, and was then called up by a staff member nearby.
"Everyone has to answer one question correctly before they can sit down."
[I’m dying of laughter. My brother is dying of exhaustion.]
[I still have to answer questions hahahahahahaha. ]
[I suddenly feel sorry for the artists. It seems that making money isn't that easy.]
The question is relatively simple. Each of them is asked to say a poem about rock climbing or going out for fun.
Han Xiaoyan was exhausted and was the first to say, "On the ninth day of the ninth month, I look at the mountains and rivers, my heart longing for home, the wind and smoke are gathering. In a foreign land, we drink golden flower wine together, and thousands of miles away, we mourn the wild geese flying across the sky together."
Zhao Luoyi, "Those with strong will are the pillars of success. If you don't give up when climbing a mountain, you will definitely reach the top of the mountain."
Fang Zhou: "I want to climb the heights but I have no strength. For whom is the fence opened? We all know this is not Xunyang County, so how could Wang Hong send me wine?"
Fang Zhou once wrote this line into his rap.
Tong Yin, "I will climb to the top of the mountain and look down on all the other mountains."
Su Yilan, "I am not afraid of the clouds blocking my view, because I am at the highest level."
Qi Yu, "Hold fast to the green mountains and never let go, your roots are planted in the broken rocks."
At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, "Wearing Xie Gong's clogs, I ascended the ladder to the blue sky. I saw the sea sun on the half wall, and heard the rooster in the sky."
Zhu Yan, "By the riverside, maples have fallen and chrysanthemums are yellow. Young and old climb to a height to gaze at their hometown. Although the Tao family is full of wine on the ninth day, the three-year-old Chu guest has already stained his clothes."
After several people answered, they were given the right to sit down.
[Wow, I didn't realize these guys were so powerful.]
[It's a script, how could Chu Yuan answer that? ]
"Are you sick? Director Han's variety shows don't have scripts. Is that you, Chu Yuan? You keep staring at her."
Chu Yuan felt thankful that he had read some ancient poetry books in the past when he had nothing to do in order to save face, otherwise he would be standing here awkwardly now.
Nothing else matters, face is the most important.
After they sat down, the staff gave them each a bottle of water.
What happens next is the game to be played in this level.
"This level's game is very simple. We'll quietly distribute task cards to everyone. Everyone can chat freely for half an hour. The first six people to complete their tasks can go first. Those who guessed the tasks of others can also go. The remaining two people will stay here and wait for another half an hour."
In other words, there must be two people left behind at this level.
It also proves that the road ahead will not be so easy.
The task cards were handed to several people before they were mentally prepared.
The people sitting from left to right at this time are Fang Zhou, Zhao Luoyi, Qi Yu, Su Yilan, Tong Yin, Han Xiaoyan, Chu Yuan, and Zhu Yan.
[This seat is a bit interesting. If someone with a good personality sits next to you, it will be easy to complete.]
【Let me guess who will be the first to finish? 】
I think it's quite interesting, but I feel like this topic is a bit difficult to bring up. What if some people don't pick up on it?
[No, because everyone has a task and everyone is very motivated, it's actually a bit hard to guess who will be the first to complete it.]
Chu Yuan and Zhu Yan are sitting together again. I'm so envious.
The envied Chu Yuan held her hand card and trembled. How unlucky was she to have gotten the task of making Zhu Yan make faces. Didn't Chunchun just not want her to leave?
However, after the "struggle" with Zhu Yan just now, Chu Yuan decided to block Han Xiaoyan this time. He wanted to pick up the face he had just lost.
The expressions of the others were also varied, and the audience watching the live broadcast also wanted to know what they got.
