Xie Qingyu was originally the leader of the top idol boy group NOVA-X, but on his way to the final stop of a global tour with his members, he was involved in a multi-car pile-up on an elevated high...
Chapter 100 Crazy Showdown
The moment he asked the question, the corners of Gu Qi's lips curled up in a confident smile.
He tilted his head slightly, his hair shone with a light golden halo under the outdoor light, and his fox eyes were filled with a determined smile - as if Xie Qingyu's choice had been anticipated by him.
"I..." Xie Qingyu's gaze wandered between the two of them. Leo stamped his feet anxiously, while Gu Qi was calmly adjusting the cuffs of his training suit, even his fingertips showed composure.
"It's paid." Without waiting for Xie Qingyu's final decision, Gu Qi continued to speak slowly.
Others might not understand, but Xie Qingyu knew it clearly in his mind - this was using the "unequal treaty" from last night as a bargaining chip, and choosing him would offset it.
What else is there to say?
"Let's go." Xie Qingyu sighed softly and cast an apologetic look at Leo. The puppy's ears drooped instantly.
The most important thing now is to pay off that condition first. He doesn't like the feeling of owing others something.
But... after all, it was Leo who asked first, so I can only make it up to him later by playing other games with him.
Gu Qi was not the kind of person who would take advantage of others for granted. After achieving his goal, he followed Xie Qingyu leisurely.
Although his brother didn't choose him, Leo was only disappointed for a moment before catching up. If he couldn't play together, he would just cheer him on from the side!
He will definitely be the loudest cheering later!
Because there were mentors in this round of competition, many contestants soon gathered around to watch the fun, which was also a way to get some screen time.
"Contestant Qingyu, MC and I have been partners for many years and have a tacit understanding. Be careful~ Don't cry if you lose~"
Lu Chuan put his arm around MCray's shoulder, raised his eyebrows proudly, and took the lead in making threats before the game, seizing the initiative by taking the initiative.
MCray was also very tactful and patted his chest vigorously, and when he patted it too hard, he would touch it quietly to calm himself down.
Then he raised his finger, pointed at Lu Chuan and gave him a thumbs up. His raised eyebrows seemed to say that everything was self-evident.
Xie Qingyu smiled, blinked, and calmly countered, "Then Teacher Lu, you have to work harder. The Yangtze River's waves behind push the waves ahead. After all, the young are formidable. Who can predict the final outcome? Don't you agree?"
This kind of speed-type game can easily arouse the latent desire to win, and it just so happens that his desire to win is not weak!
"Wooooooooooo!!! Teacher Lu and MC, come on, I support you!!!"
"Sure, thank you, sir. It hurts to cut the meat with this soft stew knife, hahaha!"
The contestants surrounding them kept cheering and adding fuel to the fire, and they also formed two cheerleading teams to cheer for the two groups.
"Lu Chuan, you're not doing well. Try harder! Teach the youngsters what it means to be experienced!"
How could Su Jin, her 'old rival', be missing at a time like this? The relationship between her and Lu Chuan didn't improve after the second public performance.
On the contrary, because of Xie Qingyu's 'fuse', the situation has been getting more and more intense. Now it has reached the point where they are fed up with each other and they have to fight whenever they meet.
At this moment, sparks flew between the two people's eyes. Lu Chuan pushed his back teeth. This vicious woman really had her share of everything!
"I think Teacher Lu can do it! I support Teacher Lu!" Big sister Li Zhiqiu also came to join in the fun. She was dressed very casually today, without the sharp makeup she had on stage, and looked particularly friendly.
With four mentors gathered together, how could Wei Qianze be absent?
He stepped forward and naturally took the small flag and timer from the staff, took the referee's responsibilities, and now he was solemnly reporting to the camera:
"Dear audience members, let's see whether the youth group is 'energetic and unstoppable', or the middle-aged group is 'vigorous and strong'!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the contestants burst into laughter, and some even collapsed on the ground.
"Hahahahahahahaha Teacher Wei, is that how you use idioms?! Jiumin, my stomach hurts from laughing so hard!!!"
Xie Qingyu pursed his lips and held his forehead helplessly, "Let's get started, Teacher Wei!"
This is also a guy who never minds getting into trouble. From the contestants to the mentors, to the program crew, everyone in "Road to the Stars" is crazy. He often feels that he is too "normal" and seems out of place.
"OK-K! On your marks, get set--" Wei Qianze held up the small flag in a serious and solemn manner.
Xie Qingyu took a deep breath and took the initiative to put his arm around Gu Qi's shoulders.
The two of them were truly tied to the same rope. The booing from the surrounding contestants made his ears burn. He had just spoken so harshly and loudly, and with so many people watching, he was too shy to lose.
Gu Yan felt the warmth coming from his shoulder, and he took his arm around Xie Qingyu's waist, whispering in her ear: "Don't worry, I won't let you lose."
The warm breath brushed past his ears, causing Xie Qingyu to shrink his neck uncomfortably.
"start!"
As Wei Qianze's small flag fell, the two pairs of partners rushed out of the starting line like arrows. Looking at their aggressive looks, it was obvious that they were aiming for the first place.
The crowd held their breath, expecting to witness a peak showdown. However—
It only takes a moment for the peak to turn into madness.
"Bang!"
"Ouch!"
The imagined battle between masters instantly turned into a fight between rookies.
As soon as they came out of the line, both groups fell out tacitly. Xie Qingyu was cushioned by Gu Qi's hand, but it didn't hurt much.
but……
"Is this what you meant by 'I won't let me lose'?" Xie Qingyu lowered his voice, a playful look in his eyes and eyebrows. "Next time before you brag, remember to check the wind direction, so as not to get your tongue stuck."
Gu Zheng touched his nose, rarely showing a bit of embarrassment. He had not expected that the level of tacit understanding between the two would be negative.
Turning to look at the other group, the situation was even more ridiculous. Lu Chuan and MCray were twisted on the ground, arguing fiercely over "who took the wrong step first."
"I said left foot first!"
"Bullshit! We clearly agreed on the right foot!"
"Your cerebellum is not fully developed!!"
"Your brain is missing a string!!!"
"Why are you still rhyming at this time? I'm impressed!"
"You dissed me first, so I'm going to diss you too!"
Very good, very good. You are indeed close friends of many years. The relationship will be better if you quarrel more!
While Lu Chuan and MCray were still arguing with each other by pulling each other's collars, Xie Qingyu and Gu Yan had already exchanged glances tacitly.
The two of them staggered to their feet and tiptoed towards the finish line.
The contestants who supported the mentor group were getting anxious.
"Hey, Mr. Lu, stop arguing. If you keep arguing, Brother Xie and the others will reach the finish line!"
"Hurry up! MC teacher, get up!"
"Mr. Lu, please, my child, please look back!"
"Go back and argue with Teacher Lu!"
Lu Chuan pulled away the hand of MCray, the bastard, who was trying to poke his nostrils, and turned his head warily to look at the person who had just fallen on the other side.
Sure enough, although he walked slowly, he had already slipped away a short distance.
"You two little bastards have no moral principles!"
Xie Qingyu did not stop walking, shaking his little head, asking what this thing was, was it as fragrant as the 'first' one?
Gu Qie elegantly raised his index finger and shook it, as if to say, "All's fair in war."
"Lu Chuan," Su Jin brought a small children's stool from somewhere and watched the show with her chin in her hand, "You can't just be tough on the outside but weak on the inside. How about you just admit defeat?"
She smiled like a cat that had stolen a fish, and deliberately waved a small flag that she had picked up at some point in her hand.
Lu Chuan was so angry that his hair stood on end. He grabbed MCray and started to chase after them: "If you don't beat them today, I'll take your surname!"
MCray scratched the back of his head innocently: "Is there such a good thing?" His small but extraordinarily round eyes were filled with genuine confusion.
Lu Chuan then realized that he had said the opposite of what he meant out of anger, and his face suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
He glared at his brainless partner with gnashing teeth, wishing he could perform a 'hand-tear MCray' show on the spot.
"Brother! Come on! You're almost there!! That's great!!!" Leo jumped and shouted at the finish line, his clear boyish voice miraculously drowning out the noise of the entire venue.
He waved the two small flags he had snatched from the staff with all his might, even his hair was straining.
When Xie Qingyu heard Leo's loud praise and encouragement, she looked in that direction with a bright smile and nodded to show that she received it.
The competition entered a white-hot stage, with the two groups chasing each other and the situation was once very stalemate.
In the end, Xie Qingyu and Gu Qiong crossed the finish line first with a slight advantage - although strictly speaking, the excitement of this game was mainly reflected in "who fell more creatively".
“We won!!!”
The contestants supporting Xie Qingyu were instantly excited, the cheers were deafening, and the emotional value was at its maximum.
If you don’t know, you might think this is the final of some important competition, rather than a fun game that was suggested on the spur of the moment.
Xie Qingyu wiped the non-existent sweat and smiled a little embarrassedly.
To be honest, their victory in this game did not involve any technical skills, but was entirely due to the support of their opponents.
But when he saw Leo rushing over to him with tears in his eyes, looking so moved that he wanted a hug, he thought that it wouldn't be bad to be silly like this once in a while.
Suddenly, Xie Qingyu paused, as if remembering something, and stood on tiptoe to look around anxiously.
When he saw that there were already four contestants queuing up for the mango cake event, he immediately pushed through the crowd and rushed over - if he was any later, his cake would be gone!
"Brother! Your prize—" Leo chased after him, holding the grilled wings he had just won.
In the corner, MCray nudged Lu Chuan with his elbow: "Hey! You're not going to change your last name?"
"So...from what you said, you lost on purpose?" Lu Chuan narrowed his eyes and responded with a dangerous smile.
He had just finished the competition, but at this moment he was shivering all over. It was already annoying enough to be scolded by that woman Su Jin, and looking at the face next to him made him even more annoyed.
"I didn't say that~ Don't accuse a good person." MCray blinked innocently, indicating that he would not take the blame. In a two-player team game, can the loss be blamed on one person?
That's definitely not possible!
Thinking of this, MCray suddenly had an idea, "Besides, wasn't it you who provoked this? I was just a guest. I fell so many times, and you still have to compensate me for the mental damages~"
At this moment his mind was still exceptionally clear.
"Huh?" Lu Chuan laughed angrily.
"No matter what! You have to write me a song to compensate me, and it has to be of good quality! Otherwise... otherwise I won't be able to get up from my seat today!"
MCray simply cheated and sat on the ground, attracting curious glances from many players.
Lu Chuan's face turned green. He obviously couldn't bear to lose this person, so he pulled him up and said, "Write it for you!"
"That matter of changing your surname..."
"Get out!" Lu Chuan squeezed out a word from between his teeth. This man's face was so thick that it was almost sky-high.
