[Hahaha, that's a great flag to set, but it's a pity the young master can't nibble on that green belt.]

[Oh right, he finally got it right this time! I was worried he'd snap his head off if he got it wrong again.]

[Nonsense! Our Chaochao is so gentle and lovely, how could she possibly do something so bloody and violent?]

I am Jingjin's dog on his way to the imperial examination: [Yes, yes, our Chaochao would never do something so disgraceful. At most, she would kneel before Shi Jing and beg him not to make the same mistake again.]

I am the examinee in "Jing Jin Gan Kao" (meaning "to take the imperial examination today"): [Hmm, this fits my stereotypical image of today.]

Since this was the last question, Shi Jing's answer was personally reviewed by the assistant director.

After reading his answer, the assistant director nodded in approval: "Congratulations, Shi Jing, you successfully guessed the last question."

"yeah!"

The three people in the group cheered at the same time!

But then, the assistant director dropped another bombshell: "But! Xiao Chen from the next group also guessed the correct answer, and at the same time as Shi Jing."

"...Huh?" Zhu Jinzhao was a little confused. She turned to look at Xiao Chen next to her and asked the assistant director with a blank expression, "So? Which group won?"

"We should win, right?" Su Ying's expression was a little anxious. "I saw that when Xiao Chen submitted his answer, Shi Jing hadn't even finished writing the words yet."

"Tch..." In response to Su Ying's boasting, Shi Jing only gave a disdainful sneer.

The assistant director smiled, then suddenly raised his voice: "The program determines the rankings based on the submission time of the answers on the tablet. And the submission times of your two groups are exactly the same, you could even say they are exactly one second apart. Therefore, you are currently tied, and there is no winner yet."

"Huh?" Zhu Jinzhao's hope vanished instantly. "Then... what should we do next?"

Assistant Director: "The two teams are tied, successfully triggering the bonus question for 'Pictionary'. Now, please turn to the back of the last page of your question book to compete in the bonus question."

"..."

The six people who had worked themselves to the bone to get here were all speechless.

[Hahaha! The production team is so mean! Why is there an extra question?!]

[I knew the production team wouldn't be hiding anything good in the game.]

"The light boat has already passed ten thousand mountains, but beyond that, there is another mountain." "After the darkest hour comes the dawn, and after the darkest hour comes the next."

[Summary: Ning Shi's group got a good deal. (Sending love!)]

"Start the animation!"

There's no time to worry anymore. I'll find the bonus question today and get ready to start writing immediately.

But before she started writing, she asked Shi Jing and Xiao Li a question: "Do you two usually play video games?"

Xiao Li shook his head: "I'm not playing."

Shi Jing: "What game are you referring to?"

Zhu Jinchao silenced himself and mouthed, "King, Zhe, Nong, Yao".

"I'll hit!" Shi Jing answered confidently. "I'll hit, I am the noble Platinum."

"..." Zhu Jinzhao was silent for a moment, "Platinum it is, it shouldn't have much of an impact."

As she spoke, she picked up her pen and drew three large exclamation marks on the drawing board.

After finishing the drawing, he showed it to Shi Jing: "Three words."

"Hmph..." Shi Jing chuckled lightly, instantly understanding.

He took the tablet from Xiao Li and confidently wrote down three words.

—Lanling King!

But after finishing writing, he didn't rush to submit it. Instead, he turned around and glanced at the battle situation next door.

"Mingyue, are you finished drawing?" Su Ying urged Zhu Mingyue again, watching her unhurried movements.

Zhu Mingyue remained completely unaffected by her, calmly continuing to draw her own picture: "It'll be done soon."

Su Ying: "Hurry up, Jinzhao has already finished drawing!"

"No, no, no," Shi Jing suddenly spoke up, refuting Su Ying's words, "We not only finished drawing, but we also guessed the correct answers."

"What?!" Su Ying exclaimed in astonishment.

"Hmph..." Shi Jing chuckled smugly, then submitted the answers on the tablet in front of Su Ying.

Assistant Director: "Correct answer!!"

"Congratulations to Jinzhao, Shijing, and Xiaoli for winning first place in this Draw Something game!"

【Ahhh! Number one! We're number one again!】

[Hahahaha! I won't say whose stinky face got slapped!]

【Hey, how come our Chaochao is number one again? Getting first place two days in a row is getting tiresome.】

[Yeah, wow, those fans were jumping around so excitedly at the very beginning of the game, I thought they were definitely going to win this time.]

[Oh, it's "Everyday First Place" again? Someone was so happy popping champagne halfway through, I thought they'd be first this time. I even photoshopped their first-place certificate, what a disappointment.]

I am the dog rushing to take the imperial examination: [Hahahaha! You guys are really good at being sarcastic and sarcastic!]

"Aaaaaah! We won! We've taken first place again!"

Zhu Jinzhao was overjoyed and immediately threw away the abstract and torturous workbook in his hand with a cheer.

"Yay!!" Xiao Li raised his hands and shouted happily, following Zhu Jinzhao's rhythm, "We won again! Well done, Jinzhao!"

Zhu Jinzhao put down her easel, then jogged over and gave Xiao Li a big hug, saying, "You two were great too, you worked together exceptionally well!"

"Hehe." Xiao Li opened his arms and hugged her back, his eyes curving into crescent moons with laughter.

"Cough, cough..."

Shi Jing stood to the side, and seeing that the two of them had hugged for a while, he coughed twice, seemingly unintentionally.

Xiao Li immediately understood what he meant, so he quickly released Zhu Jinzhao and took two steps back.

Zhu Jinzhao was in high spirits, so when she saw Shi Jing opening his arms to hug her, she didn't think twice and pounced on him.

"!!!"

Suddenly caught off guard by the full embrace, Shi Jing's eyes widened in surprise.

"We won again!" Zhu Jinzhao hugged his neck, practically hanging herself on him.

His mind was filled with surprise, and he was still a little dazed, but his hands instinctively wrapped around Zhu Jinzhao's waist.

Zhu Jinzhao felt safe and at ease in his arms, unconsciously stirring his heart.

He tilted his head slightly, letting Zhu Jinzhao's hair brush against the tip of his nose. He inhaled Zhu Jinzhao's delicate fragrance and felt her softness. His heart raced, and his mind gradually cleared.

"Hmm." He smiled slightly, his voice trembling for some reason, "Thanks to Grand Strategist Chaochao, we won again."

[Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! A state banquet! This is a fucking state banquet!]

[Eat! Everyone, inside and outside the industry, come and eat! Nobody's allowed to leave until they've eaten their fill of giants!]

[Mom, I'm not coming home for dinner today. I've already eaten myself to death at "Jingjin's Exam" restaurant.]

[May you, this stunning beauty, make our young master Shi drool.]

[Ahhh! Actually, Shi Jing initially opened his arms just wanting a hug like Xiao Li's, but he didn't expect Jin Zhao to jump into his arms, so he suddenly froze! This damn detail is killing me!]
