Chapter 10
The next morning, Yin Mu was awakened by the alarm clock. He struggled to open his eyes, only to feel sore and swollen. Every cell in his body was resisting getting up.
She turned over and lay on the bed, trying to wake up before getting up, but her eyelids drooped uncontrollably, and she closed her eyes and fell asleep again in a daze.
After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the door, followed by Zheng Wei's clear voice: "Yin Mu, are you up?"
Yin Mu shuddered and opened her eyes suddenly. She looked at the time and found that only ten minutes had passed. She calmed herself down and said, "Hey, I'll be up soon."
"Then hurry up, you're the only one missing."
"good--"
Yin Mu agreed and sat up. He heard the footsteps outside the door going away. He raised his hand and slapped his face twice, trying to cheer himself up. Then he felt his entire right arm was sore and he let out a low "hiss".
Very good, what is coming has finally come.
She was dejected, with her head hung down for a while before going to the bathroom to wash up.
After cleaning up, Yin Mu changed his clothes and went downstairs, where he saw several others already having breakfast. They had all changed into sports-style clothes as required by the program team, and were discussing what games they would play today.
Zheng Wei saw Yin Mu and patted the back of the chair next to her: "Yin Mu, sit here."
Yin Mu thanked him and sat down. Seeing that there was even a portion of breakfast for him, he casually asked, "Who is so hardworking that he prepared breakfast?"
Zhou Jingyu smiled and said, "Zhang Yang and Qing Lin prepared this for everyone. I also helped a little. Don't mind it being simple."
"How could that be possible?" Yin Mu said hurriedly, "There's a ready-made meal when I wake up in the morning. I can't thank you enough."
Chen Qinglin poured her a glass of milk and asked, "Does your arm hurt?"
"It hurts when I lift it up, but it'll be fine if I don't move it." Yin Mu sighed, "The production team better not go too far, otherwise my arm will be useless."
"Then be careful today and don't push yourself too hard."
Jiang Nanyu interjected, "In my opinion, the production team won't make things difficult for the girls. We should just worry about ourselves."
Zhang Yang seemed to have found his home turf, brimming with confidence. "I'm not afraid of anything they arrange. Don't worry, I'll go easy on you."
In terms of pure physical strength, Zhang Yang was undoubtedly the strongest. Jiang Nanyu, the thinnest of the three, looked uneasy, but he didn't want to lose without a fight, nor did he want to lose face in front of the girls. He put on a tough face and retorted to Zhang Yang, "Don't be so confident. If I get humiliated, I'm afraid you'll be embarrassed."
Zhang Yang asserted, "That's impossible."
Yin Mu shook his head silently, not wanting to comment on his arrogance.
After everyone had breakfast, the three people who didn't cook took the initiative to clear the table, and then chatted idly for a while. Meng Meng arrived late and announced that the venue had been set up and everyone was invited to gather in the garden.
There was a bunch of messy props and equipment placed on the open space, and I didn't know what they were used for.
Yin Mu looked around curiously, pointed at a few large colorful cloth bags, and asked Zheng Wei, "What do you think these things are used for?"
Zheng Wei said without thinking, "Maybe they'll put us in there and let the boys run a race carrying the bags."
"...You have a very vivid imagination."
Yin Mu: I'll just watch you talk nonsense quietly.
[Zheng Wei's brain circuit is truly unmatched.]
[That's very well said. Don't say it next time.]
[It seems like the kindergarten is holding a sports day. Is this okay?]
[Hahahaha, the shabby production crew is really trying hard to save money.]
…
Meng Meng clapped his hands, signaling for everyone to quiet down. He said, "The outcome of today's game will determine your date tomorrow, so if you want to date someone you like, you must take it seriously and be determined."
Yin Muyu was still worried about his arm and asked, "Do both boys and girls have to participate?"
Meng Meng smiled: "We will play games in groups."
Yin Mu curled his lips, and his heart finally settled down.
Well, in that case, let's just be bad and go through the motions.
Meng Meng continued to read out the rules of the game: "Our morning game is divided into three parts. Only male guests can participate. They will be ranked according to their accumulated scores. Male guests with higher rankings can give priority to choosing female guests to form temporary partners."
"Huh?" Zheng Wei asked in confusion, "Then what should we do?"
Meng Meng deliberately kept it a secret: "That's another arrangement."
Zheng Wei pursed her lips speechlessly.
Jiang Nanyu glanced at Zhou Jingyu, who had a serene smile, and asked, "What if two people want to choose the same person?"
When Zheng Wei heard what he said, her face became visibly gloomy, probably because she thought of the possibility that Zhang Yang would insist on choosing Zhou Jingyu.
Meng Meng shook her head and said, "You can't choose the same person. The next person can only be chosen from the remaining female guests."
"Then there's no choice left in the end?"
"That's right." Meng Meng confirmed Jiang Nanyu's words and added, "However, we still have time to adjust our afternoon games, so everyone should be careful when choosing partners this morning."
Yin Mu was confused and asked, "So, what we're saying is that the partners decided in the morning are only for the afternoon game? Only the winner of the afternoon game has the right to choose the CP first?"
Meng Meng affirmed again: "Yes."
"You guys really don't mind the trouble."
Meng Meng clenched his fist and said in a resounding voice, "To help everyone get to know each other better and find the person who's best for them, this is what we should do."
Yin Mu couldn't help but complain in his heart, who is praising you guys?
[It's hilarious! Meng Meng's eyes are so determined, like he wants to join the party.]
[Come on, I think you just want to save money! ]
[That’s right, going out and having fun costs so much.]
[Hahahaha, Yin Mu's expression is just like me.]
[Program crew, are you seriously ill?! ]
…
The first game was called "Kangaroo Jump", and the big cloth bags that Yin Mu saw were immediately put to use.
"The rules of the game are very simple. Three male guests, please stand in a cloth bag, lift the bag to your waist, and imitate a kangaroo jumping to the finish line and back. The one with the fastest time wins. The points will be recorded according to your ranking." Meng Meng finished speaking and looked at the three boys. "Do you have any questions about the rules of the game?"
It wasn't a highly competitive game. Jiang Nanyu's brows, which had been furrowed for a long time, relaxed. "I understand."
Zhang Yang and Chen Qinglin also said there was no problem.
"In that case, please go to the starting point and get ready."
While the boys were getting ready, Meng Meng handed each of the girls an answer board and said to them, "Before each game starts, you can write down on the board which boy you think will win. Those who guess correctly will get one point."
Zhou Jingyu held the answer sheet and asked, "What's the use of our score?"
"Of course. If the boys are tied in the end, you can vote for one of them."
Yin Mu noticed something was wrong and frowned: "But I gave him extra points, and he may not choose me, right? Doesn't that mean my kindness has gone to waste?"
Meng Meng smiled slightly: "But you can also take this opportunity to see clearly what kind of person he is."
“…Alright.”
[Fuck, this makes so much sense.]
【Meng Meng 666.】
[Meng Meng is such a clever little guy.]
【Good boy, I am speechless. 】
【This is the details that reveal a person’s character! 】
…
Seeing that the boys were ready, Meng Meng said, "You can start writing now. No revisions are allowed after you finish writing."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zheng Wei started writing without hesitation. Yin Mu knew who she was writing about without having to think too much.
Zhou Jingyu didn't write immediately and asked Yin Mu: "Yin Mu, who are you writing about?"
Zheng Wei immediately spoke up to stop them: "This can't be discussed, it's really unfair."
Yin Mu smiled and teased her, "But don't you feel that you have been exposed?"
Zheng Wei said stubbornly: "Just make a random guess. Maybe you're wrong."
Yin Mu smiled and shook his head. After thinking for a moment, he felt that the outcome of this game was not without suspense. After all, the kangaroo jump required a good balance, and a big guy like Zhang Yang might not be able to take advantage.
She lowered her head and wrote her answers on the answer sheet.
"Ready—" Meng Meng raised the small flag in his hand seriously, then dropped it, "Go!"
Zhang Yang put all his strength into it, but unexpectedly he used too much force in the first step and nearly fell forward. He struggled to maintain his balance and did not dare to rush any further, so he cautiously shortened his stride.
Yin Mu's gaze fell on Chen Qinglin, who was temporarily in the lead. He couldn't help laughing and quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth to prevent the laughter from escaping.
Chen Qinglin's curly hair is fluffy and soft. As he jumps, the hair on his forehead also jumps like a little mushroom, which looks quite cute.
The three boys jumped forward with all their might, refusing to give in to each other. Yin Mu had the illusion that he was back in kindergarten.
Due to space limitations, the track set up by the program team was not long. When arriving at the turning point, Chen Qinglin was still leading with a slight advantage, followed closely by Jiang Nanyu.
Zhou Jingyu gave them enough emotional value, clapping and encouraging them as they passed by: "Come on, you're almost at the finish line!"
Zheng Wei also shouted, "Zhang Yang, where's that pre-match threat you made? Look, you're last!"
Perhaps Zhang Yang was stimulated, and he made up his mind and jumped forward with all his strength. As a result, he successfully lost his balance and staggered to the ground.
Zheng Wei screamed, then subconsciously covered her mouth to keep silent, as if blaming herself for causing Zhang Yang to fall.
Zhang Yang got up from the ground with a red face, and just as he picked up the cloth bag that had fallen at his feet, Chen Qinglin and Jiang Nanyu had already returned to the starting point one after the other. He lost the first game magnificently.
Meng Meng began to announce the results: "Game over! In this round, congratulations to Chen Qinglin for winning first place, he can get three points. Jiang Nanyu got two points. Zhang Yang, sorry, you only got one point."
Zhang Yang's expression was slightly awkward, but he still acted nonchalant and said, "It was just a mistake."
Meng Meng gave him a thumbs-up and said, "Well done! Now, let's see the girls' answers."
The boys weren't here just now and had no idea this was happening. They looked confused and asked, "What's the answer?"
