Chapter 11
Meng Meng clapped her hands, signaling Yin Mu and the others to show their answer pads. "Who guessed it right? Let's reveal the answer!"
[Oh my, who did Zheng Wei write about? It's so hard to guess.]
【The one in front is grabbing bamboo shoots. 】
Yin Mu and Zhou Jingyu were both very calm. Zheng Wei couldn't be the only one at fault, right?
[Zhang Yang's carelessness led to the loss of Jingzhou.]
So, never be too confident, as it can easily backfire.
…
Yin Mu and the other three turned their answer sheets over to face Meng Meng. Zheng Wei's sheet had Zhang Yang's name written on it, as expected, while Yin Mu and Zhou Jingyu both had Chen Qinglin's name written on it.
"Congratulations to Yin Mu and Zhou Jingyu for each scoring a point. Zheng Wei, unfortunately, you guessed wrong."
Zheng Wei was a little unhappy, pouted, and responded: "Oh."
Zhang Yang didn't win this time, but at least he had Zheng Wei's support. Jiang Nanyu, on the other hand, wasn't on either side, and he was almost losing his temper. "Let me ask, what's the point of guessing this? You're not here just to humiliate me, are you?"
"Don't worry, you might need it soon." Meng Meng kept it a secret and said, "Please take a five-minute break, our next game will start soon."
Yin Mu went to get some water and saw Zheng Wei handing a bottle of water to Zhang Yang. She said apologetically, "I'm sorry. I didn't expect that I would disturb you and affect your performance."
"It's okay." Zhang Yang took the water and drank two sips. "It's also my own fault. I was too impatient."
He actually had no intention of blaming Zheng Wei at all. Whether he really meant so or was restrained for fear of the camera, Yin Mu was surprised and couldn't help but change his opinion of him slightly.
After all, it was a private conversation between two people. Yin Mu didn't listen any further. He took the water and quickly walked away.
The second game started quickly: a simple push-hands game. Two people stood facing each other on a balance ball, with their arms extended and their palms facing each other. The first person to push their opponent off the ball without touching any other part of their body won.
"For this game, we're teaming up to play against each other. The first person to reach two points wins. If the remaining two are tied, we'll have a tiebreaker," Meng Meng said with a smile. "To ensure fairness, the order of play will be determined by drawing lots. The one with the smallest number goes first."
Like a magic trick, she took out a small green ball from somewhere and opened it, revealing a few small paper balls stuffed inside.
"Come on, please draw lots."
Jiang Nanyu asked curiously, "So many? Aren't there just three of us drawing lots?"
"Of course, it's for the sake of fairness." Meng Meng winked slyly. "The numbers on each ball of paper are different, and there's no pattern. There are many options. It all depends on your luck."
Jiang Nanyu shook his head and reached out to grab a ball of paper at random. Chen Qinglin and Zhang Yang also made their choices and unfolded the paper balls to look at them.
Zhang Yang held up the slip of paper and showed it to everyone. He asked Meng Meng, "27, is this considered big or small?"
"Big, right?" Jiang Nanyu said with a bitter face, "I'm 11."
The two of them looked at Chen Qinglin at the same time. Chen Qinglin raised his hand expressionlessly, and there was a big number "7" on the note.
[Hahahaha, is your luck so bad, bro?]
[He clearly had no expression, but I could see the vicissitudes of life in his eyes.]
Isn't this a sign of good luck? (dog head)
[I'm still thinking what would happen if Zhang Yang played first and killed the game immediately? That would be hilarious.]
[Zhang Yang's balance is not good, didn't he just lose the kangaroo jump?]
…
Meng Meng burst out laughing: "What a coincidence, Chen Qinglin drew the one with the smallest number among all the paper balls."
Chen Qinglin couldn't laugh, and curled his lips: "So I will compete with Jiang Nanyu first, right?"
"Yes, before that—" Meng Meng turned to look at Yin Mu and the others, "Please write your predictions on the answer sheet first."
It was time to write again. Yin Mu sighed in his heart, bit the tip of the pen and scanned the status of the three boys one by one. After a little thought, he wrote down Chen Qinglin's name again.
Meng Meng waited for them to finish writing and said, "Let's get started. Chen Qinglin and Jiang Nanyu, please get on the balance ball."
Zhang Yang looked like he was watching a scene: "You two, do you need me to help you up?"
This kind of balancing ball is indeed difficult. Jiang Nanyu stubbornly refused Zhang Yang, but when he tried it once, he just stepped on it with his second foot and it wobbled and fell down. He had no choice but to ask him for help again in shame.
Zhang Yang gladly helped Jiang Nanyu to stand steadily, and also lent his shoulder to Chen Qinglin.
Jiangnan felt that he was fine, so he broke away from Zhang Yang's support and faced Chen Qinglin with his palms. His arms and legs were shaking like ramen, which was very funny. The girls all covered their mouths and laughed.
Meng Meng also smiled, but then stopped smiling and asked in a serious tone, "Are you ready?"
Jiang Nanyu pretended to be calm: "Okay, come on."
Chen Qinglin also nodded: "Okay."
"Ready—go!"
When the confrontation began, Jiang Nanyu and Chen Qinglin did not act rashly, but cautiously reached out to test each other.
Meng Meng watched the battle unfold without blinking. "Oh! Both of you are being very cautious. Who will be the first to break this situation and seize the initiative?"
The two men were deadlocked for a moment, but Jiang Nanyu lost his temper first and took advantage of Chen Qinglin's distraction to suddenly attack him. Fortunately, Chen Qinglin reacted and quickly pulled his hand away, leaving Jiang Nanyu empty-handed.
Jiang Nanyu was horrified and fell forward uncontrollably, flapping his arms wildly a few times before he managed to stabilize his body.
"Oh, what a pity, it was so close." Meng Meng was still explaining passionately and diligently, "Can Chen Qinglin make up for that 10%? Let's continue to pay attention!"
Chen Qinglin looked at Jiang Nanyu in front of him and called out calmly, "Meng Meng."
"Hmm?" Meng Meng stepped forward and asked expectantly, "Want to say something harsh to your opponent?"
"No." Chen Qinglin said sincerely, "I want to ask, can you be quiet?"
[Help, my toes are digging into the ground.]
【Ahhhh, my embarrassing habit for others has come back again. 】
What did Meng Meng do wrong? She was just there to help with the atmosphere!
[I'm dying of laughter. Is Meng Meng being disliked for being too noisy?]
[Chen Qinglin, why are you like this?! Be more tactful!]
…
Meng Meng's smile froze on her face. She was silent for a few seconds before she said, "Oh...Okay, okay."
Jiang Nanyu probably found it funny as well, and the corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably. Chen Qinglin took advantage of his relaxed vigilance, seized the opportunity sharply, and attacked without hesitation.
Jiang Nanyu was caught off guard and quickly withdrew his hand to avoid it. However, due to the large amplitude of the movement, he inevitably lost his balance, and his right foot stepped on the ground, losing the first round.
Meng Meng comforted him: "It doesn't matter, there is still a chance!"
Jiang Nanyu shook his head, sighed in annoyance, and obediently stepped aside to watch the fight, standing next to Zhou Jingyu.
Zhou Jingyu tilted her head and smiled at him: "Don't be discouraged, try harder next time!"
"Okay, currently Chen Qinglin has one point, Jiang Nanyu and Zhang Yang both have zero points. Next, Zhang Yang will play against Chen Qinglin." Meng Meng said, signaling Zhang Yang to go on the court.
Both Zhang Yang and Chen Qinglin have obvious advantages. Zhang Yang is big and strong, but Chen Qinglin is lighter and more flexible than him. He has just accumulated experience in the match with Jiang Nanyu. It is hard to say who will win.
The confrontation between the two lasted for quite a while. Zhang Yang was obviously more difficult to deal with than Jiang Nanyu. If he used too much strength, he might be harmed by the reaction force, but if he used too little strength, he would have no lethality. It was difficult to grasp the right balance.
Chen Qinglin tried several times but failed. However, his mentality was obviously more stable than Jiang Nanyu's. He was not affected and waited silently for the opportunity.
But Zhang Yang, perhaps hoping to avenge his previous defeat and wash away the shame of his first game, showed no mercy to Chen Qinglin, launching a barrage of attacks. Ultimately, Chen Qinglin was unable to withstand the attacks and lost to Zhang Yang.
The third round pitted Jiang Nanyu against Zhang Yang. The difference between the two was even greater. Brute force was absolutely not an option for Jiang Nanyu to win. Learning from Chen Qinglin's defeat, he employed a feint to the east and attack in the west. After a difficult standoff, he actually managed to secure a point from Zhang Yang.
Jiang Nanyu didn't even seem to expect to win, and excitedly showed off to Zhang Yang: "Ha, you actually let me win!"
Zhang Yang was unconvinced and immediately poured cold water on him: "It's only one point, why are you so proud? You might lose to Chen Qinglin again soon."
Jiang Nanyu, however, was not discouraged by him and raised his chin: "No matter who wins this round, you won't have a chance to get three points, right?"
According to the rules of the game, this is indeed the case. Zhang Yang was speechless and lowered his head in dejection.
Jiang Nanyu patted his back thoughtfully: "Don't be discouraged, there is still a third game."
Zhang Yang gritted his teeth and smiled: "Thank you for the reminder."
"You're welcome."
Zhang Yang's back teeth were about to break.
[Jiangnanyu, just go ahead and let it go. It would be embarrassing if you lost to Chen Qinglin for the second time.]
This game is more fun with more people. Otherwise, it's just the three of them playing all the time, so it's boring.
How can it be boring? I just love watching them get slapped in the face over and over again.
[Hahahaha, their story tells us, never brag.]
…
The game entered the match point, and Jiang Nanyu and Chen Qinglin had to face off for the second time. The winner could get three points in this game, and the loser would have to compete with Zhang Yang again to decide the second and third places.
"Before the deciding game begins, would you two like to say something to each other?"
Chen Qinglin and Jiang Nanyu looked at each other and said in unison: "No need."
Meng Meng raised her eyebrows. "Oh—you have a good understanding. Then let's not waste any more time talking and get straight to the point."
Zhang Yang hated it so much, thinking that if he had just beaten Jiang Nanyu and had already secured the three points, he wouldn't be in this state of mind watching Chen Qinglin and Jiang Nanyu's match. Furthermore, he was clearly good at sports, but today he suffered a series of defeats, which was very unusual.
"There shouldn't be any problem with the feng shui here." The more Zhang Yang thought about it, the more suspicious he became. He frowned and couldn't help muttering to himself.
Yin Mu happened to hear it and burst out laughing.
Who said this love variety show is boring? This love variety show is so interesting, just studying people is enough.
