Zhu Jinzhao has a poor sense of judgment, but she unfortunately transmigrated into a novel about the fierce battle between a real and a fake daughter. She became the fake daughter who was innocent,...
She gripped her paintbrush tightly, eager to paint while also curious to hear if Su Ying next door could guess the question correctly.
Two impulses collided, and for a moment, Zhu Jinzhao didn't know which one to listen to first.
So she just stood there, holding her paintbrush, staring blankly at the canvas, her mind completely wandering to the room next door.
“This…” Su Ying frowned and stared intently at Zhu Mingyue’s painting, her mind completely blank.
"Five words!" Zhu Mingyue opened her palm, repeatedly hinting to Su Ying about the correct number of words in the answer.
Su Ying looked at the painting for a while, then at Zhu Mingyue's hand. Her left and right brains struggled for a long time before she vaguely wrote down her first answer on the tablet.
After submitting the answer, Zhu Mingyue's vision went completely black.
"No, it's not this!"
"That's good, that's good..." Hearing Zhu Mingyue's response, Zhu Jinzhao's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, briefly settled back down.
She patted her chest, calmed herself down, and finally found her direction to start drawing on the canvas.
"Mu Guiying Takes Command" is a widely circulated popular literary story, which has been adapted into a classic Henan opera and a TV series of the same name.
Zhu Jinzhao couldn't draw the content of Henan Opera and TV dramas; she could only use the simplest strokes possible to express the meaning of the question, just like with the previous questions.
"Don't be anxious, just draw slowly." Shi Jingguang could tell just by thinking about how difficult the last question was, so in order not to put pressure on Zhu Jinzhao, he would occasionally say a few words to comfort him.
Xiao Li chimed in, "Take your time today, draw what you want to draw, and don't listen to other opinions."
Zhu Jinzhao was very focused on her painting, and when she heard what Xiao Li and Shi Jing were saying, she simply nodded to show that she understood.
Meanwhile, Su Ying was already on the verge of a breakdown due to the series of wrong answers.
"Why is it still wrong? Mingyue, why don't you redraw it? Make it clearer."
“Okay.” Zhu Mingyue agreed and immediately tore off the paper on the drawing board and began to redraw.
"Eh..." Su Ying sighed anxiously, one hand on her hip.
[It's starting, it's starting! Su Ying is getting impatient again!]
[No, I think Zhu Mingyue's drawing is quite good. Why did Su Ying get so angry at her just because she couldn't guess correctly? Is this still the respectable person in the entertainment industry? (Eating popcorn)]
It's often said that variety shows are a mirror reflecting the true nature of celebrities, and now it seems that's absolutely true. Our "respectable" people in the entertainment industry are not only not respectable in private, but they also love to swear and berate others.
[Hahahaha, you guys are masters of Yin and Yang, so much so! (Heart emoji)]
[Oh, poor Mingyue, it's her first time on a show and she has to encounter such a treacherous senior.]
"I... I think I've finished drawing, right?" Zhu Jinzhao put away her paintbrush, held up her canvas towards Shi Jing and Xiao Li, her face full of uncertainty.
Shi Jing asked, "How many words?"
Zhu Jinzhao opened his palms and said in a sufficiently low-key voice, "Five words tell the story of a female general."
“Female General…” Xiao Li seized on this key word and stared at Shi Jing with a solemn expression.
Shi Jing exaggeratedly mouthed, "Which female general would like to have 'Handsome' tattooed on her body?"
Xiao Li shook his head, looking confused: "I don't know..."
But then she paused, then her eyes lit up: "Huh? I think I know now."
"If you know, write it down." Shi Jing handed her the tablet.
She took it and quickly wrote down the answers on it.
—Magnolia Flower Joins the Army in Place of Her Father!
"..."
Zhu Jinzhao felt dizzy and almost fainted from anger at the answer.
[Hahaha! Wasn't it Mulan who took her father's place in the army? Where did this Mulan flower come from?]
[Meow suggests a thorough investigation; this Xiao Li is very likely a traitor.]
[Leaving aside the issue of "Mulan" and "Magnolia Flower," the word count of this answer is different from today's hint.]
Hahaha, you guys are really going to give me a hard time today.
"I give up!" Shi Jing snatched the tablet away, almost unable to resist hitting Xiao Li on the head. "You didn't even get the word count right, and you still said 'should know'?"
Xiao Li sheepishly shrank back, "Sorry, I forgot there's a word limit."
Shi Jing secretly rolled her eyes: "We still have to rely on me..."
"I know the answer!" He raised his head confidently and wrote a line on the tablet with a wave of his hand.
—The female general is so cool!
"..."
Zhu Jinchao seems to have lost all his strength.
"How was it?" Shi Jing winked at Zhu Jinzhao, his face saying, "Praise me!"
But Zhu Jinzhao just stared at him coldly, her face grim: "..."
Silence is the best answer. Shi Jing's smile faded, and she knew she had answered incorrectly.
"Oh." Although Zhu Jinzhao didn't respond to him, he still obediently replied.
"..." Zhu Jinzhao looked away with a headache, picked up the paintbrush again, and added a few more strokes to the canvas.
“Guess again!” she commanded.
"Yes!" Shi Jing and Xiao Li answered in unison.
On the other side, Zhu Mingyue quickly redrawn the question and then held the drawing board up to Su Ying again.
"Guess, this time it should be easy to guess."
"..." Su Ying pouted speechlessly and said irritably, "It's not easy to guess at all!"
Holding his tablet, Xiao Chen timidly remarked, "But we have to guess even if it's hard, since we're just one question away from winning."
"..." Su Ying turned her head slightly and stared at her with a half-smile, "Then this time, let Xiao Chen guess first."
Xiao Chen knew she was a little unhappy, but he still said seriously, "We should guess together; miracles happen when we work together."
But Su Ying shook her head: "There is no tacit understanding, and there is no miracle."
So what? Does it have your stinky face?
[Even the staff couldn't stand it anymore, Su Ying, you'd better tone it down, or you'll ruin your reputation by going on a variety show!]
[Um... Su Ying's reputation wasn't exactly stellar before, was it? Her crazy fans were a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry; many celebrities had been offended by them. A certain award-winning actress couldn't stand it and even personally made some sarcastic remarks about her.]
"I think I know what it is." Xiao Chen pondered for a long time while holding his tablet, but suddenly his eyes lit up.
Zhu Mingyue smiled gently at her and encouraged her, "If you know the answer, just write it down. What if you get it right?"
Xiao Chen: "Mm!"
At the same moment Xiao Chen started writing, the Time Mirror next door also started up for the second time.
"Chao Chao, I'm sure my answer is right this time!" Shi Jing said confidently as she wrote.
"Heh..." Zhu Jinzhao laughed expressionlessly, not holding much hope for Shi Jing.
After writing down his answer, Shi Jing first gave a cool and arrogant smile, then clicked "Submit" on the tablet.
"If this answer is wrong, I'll just go outside and eat the greenery!"
