Chapter 12
The second round of the game ended with some happy and some sad. Chen Qinglin lived up to Yin Mu's expectations and defeated Jiang Nanyu again, ranking first and getting three points in this round.
In the final between Jiang Nanyu and Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang finally turned the tables and came in second, earning two points, while Jiang Nanyu came in third, earning only one point.
Meng Meng tallied up the scores and announced, "Currently, Chen Qinglin leads with six points, while Jiang Nanyu and Zhang Yang each have three points."
Judging from the current situation, no matter how many points Chen Qinglin gets in the third round, he will be able to maintain his first place, so the pressure is on Jiang Nanyu and Zhang Yang again.
"The third round will still focus on the competition between Jiang Nanyu and Zhang Yang. You two should keep up the good work." Meng Meng had barely finished speaking when she was about to ask the female guest to announce the answers she had written down before the competition when she heard Zheng Wei whispering to Yin Mu. Yin Mu smiled and whispered something back, then stopped talking and asked, "Zheng Wei, Yin Mu, what are you two whispering about?"
Yin Mu suddenly felt like she had been caught truant in class, and with Zheng Wei shaking her arm, she quickly said, "Nothing."
Meng Meng, however, refused to let them off the hook and insisted on getting to the bottom of the matter: "Tell me about it."
Yin Mu had no choice but to confess honestly: "Zheng Wei said she wanted to play this too."
"Oh?" Meng Meng raised an eyebrow, a plan coming to mind. "Why don't the girls play a round too? Besides Zheng Wei, who else wants to play?"
Yin Mu immediately shook her head like a rattle: "I don't want it." She definitely couldn't stand steadily on this kind of balance ball. If she fell face down, it would be too terrible.
Zhou Jingyu also declined with an apologetic look on her face: "I don't really want to play either."
Zheng Wei spread her hands and said, "Look, I can't find an opponent, so forget it."
Meng Meng couldn't force them, so she could only say, "Okay, then—"
Zhang Yang interrupted her, calling it unfair: "They've been spectators for a long time, isn't it time for us to be the audience for once?"
Jiang Nanyu echoed, "That's right, we want to watch the game too." He didn't forget to win over Chen Qinglin, "Chen Qinglin, why don't you express your opinion as well?"
Chen Qinglin shrugged: "I don't care."
"Okay, shut up."
"Of course you don't care if you win."
Zhang Yang and Jiang Nanyu spoke at the same time, and Chen Qinglin immediately changed his tone, "Well, it's good to rest for a while."
[What does it mean to change one's face like turning the pages of a book? Tsk tsk tsk.]
[Hahahaha, is Chen Qinglin afraid of being attacked by the two of them together?]
[I see, this is the loser's envy of the winner.]
[You two, please stop being sour. I can smell it!]
[Although, I also want to watch girls play. 】
…
Meng Meng looked at Yin Mu and the other three. "What should we do? I think the netizens would also like to see you play. Why don't you send two people out to play a game? Just treat it as fulfilling everyone's little wish, okay?"
Having said that, refusing would be a bummer. Zheng Wei, being very loyal, suggested, "Since I'm the one who brought it up, let's have Yin Mu and Zhou Jingyu play rock-paper-scissors. The loser gets to play with me. Is that okay?"
Yin Mu nodded reluctantly and asked Zhou Jingyu, "Do you want to decide the outcome in one round or best of three?"
Zhou Jingyu smiled and said, "Let's keep it simple. One round will decide the outcome."
"good."
"Rock, Paper, Scissors!"
Yin Mu looked at his fist, then at the scissors Zhou Jingyu threw, and for a moment he couldn't believe his eyes: "Am I so lucky today?"
Zheng Wei didn't take it seriously and said casually, "When did you become unlucky?" Then, when she looked at Zhou Jingyu again, her eyes were filled with a hint of provocation, "Come?"
Zhou Jingyu smiled slightly and said softly, "I won't let you go."
Zheng Wei refused to give in: "No need, it's still unclear who is stronger."
【Oh oh oh, the smell of gunpowder is coming. 】
[Zhou Jingyu simply used the most gentle tone to say the harshest words.]
I love watching this kind of excitement, the fighting starts.
[50 cents bet, Zhou Jingyu wins.]
I want Zheng Wei to win, and I don't like Zhou Jingyu's scheming.
…
Zheng Wei tried to stand on the balance ball, but she was so shaky that she couldn't stand steadily. Yin Mu was terrified and reached out to help her: "Be careful."
"I know."
Seeing that she had stood firm, Yin Mu carefully let go of his hand and moved away from her.
Zheng Wei stretched out her arms to keep her balance. When she looked up, she happened to see Zhou Jingyu let go of Zhang Yang's shoulders and thanked him with a sweet smile. She couldn't help but grit her teeth.
Seeing that the war was about to break out, Yin Mu wisely stepped aside to avoid getting into trouble.
Zheng Wei and Zhou Jingyu adopted the same strategy: I won't move unless the enemy moves. At most, you touch me and I push you, testing each other, but never using force easily.
Zhou Jingyu remained calm: "You seem very nervous."
Zheng Wei stared at her palm tightly, not daring to relax. "I think you're the one who's nervous. Stop trying to hide it with words."
Zhou Jingyu just smiled: "It's just a game, why take it so seriously?"
Zheng Wei disagreed: "You can't say that. If you compete, you have to compete seriously. Otherwise, it would be too disrespectful to your opponent."
Yin Mu listened to them talking for a long time, but they were just talking and not doing anything. He rolled his eyes a little and thought that if someone didn't know, they would think they were holding some major event and making it so grand.
She unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip of water, glancing at the three boys. Zhang Yang and Jiang Nanyu were quite focused, offering tactics and encouraging them to attack boldly. Chen Qinglin, on the other hand, remained where he was, but he had probably been gone for a while. His gaze was erratic, and it was unclear where he was looking.
Zheng Wei ultimately lacked Zhou Jingyu's patience. After a long pause, she suddenly unleashed a powerful attack, attempting to end the fight quickly. Unfortunately, Zhou Jingyu's reaction was also swift. With a strategic backward move, she neutralized Zheng Wei's attack and then launched a counterattack without hesitation.
The two of them fought back and forth. I don’t know if it was because of their lighter weight, but they were more stable than the boys. After several rounds of fighting, they were evenly matched and neither of them had a clear advantage.
Zheng Wei gritted her teeth, thinking about how to defeat Zhou Jingyu: "I didn't expect you to be so powerful."
"You're not bad either." Zhou Jingyu remained calm, but her breathing had begun to become disordered. "Tell me, is it necessary for the two of us?"
Zheng Wei insisted stubbornly: "If necessary, I will win."
"What happens after you win?"
Zheng Wei was speechless for a moment. She just didn't want to lose to Zhou Jingyu all the time. She had to win at least once.
Zhou Jingyu seemed to know what she was thinking. With a smile on her face, she leaned forward and whispered in her ear, "Let me win. Next time, I'll help you date anyone you want."
She lowered her voice so low that no one else could hear her except the two of them.
The two of them were holding hands, Zhou Jingyu almost leaning on Zheng Wei's shoulder. Zheng Wei probably felt her breath tickling her neck, but she didn't dare to dodge too much, so she could only shrink her neck. From Yin Mu's perspective, this scene was just like Zheng Wei was hiding in Zhou Jingyu's arms.
Some inappropriate things appeared in Yin Mu's mind at an inappropriate time. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, but he was afraid that his smile was too obscene, so he quickly forced it down.
Obviously, she was not the only one who thought so, and the comments in the live broadcast room were even more exciting.
[Sorry! This image is too... suggestive.]
【Oh! Pretty sister, please be kind! 】
[Your face is yellow, Zhou Jingyu, what are you doing?! ]
[This must be Zhou Jingyu's tactic!]
[Huh? I'm watching a dating show, right?]
…
Zhou Jingyu slowly stood up straight and smiled at Zheng Wei with her head tilted.
Zheng Wei was completely confused. She had no idea what Zhou Jingyu was up to and she didn't dare to take it lightly. She looked at her warily.
Meng Meng asked curiously, "What did Jingyu say to Zheng Wei?"
Zhou Jingyu smiled but said nothing.
Zheng Wei was a little annoyed: "Stop playing tricks, Zhou Jingyu, it's useless."
She was no longer timid and launched attacks one after another, but Zhou Jingyu was obviously well aware of the principle of using softness to overcome hardness and was able to easily block her every move.
The less advantage Zheng Wei gained, the angrier she became, and the angrier she became, the more she lost her composure. Ultimately, she was defeated due to carelessness, and accidentally lost her balance and fell forward.
Zhou Jingyu didn't hold a grudge and simply opened her arms and hugged her: "Be careful."
The results were out. Zheng Wei pushed Zhou Jingyu away, frowning and complaining, "This is so annoying! Why am I the loser again?"
Yin Mu hurried forward to comfort her: "Okay, okay, it was you who insisted on playing, why are you still angry?"
Zheng Wei turned her head away angrily and didn't want to talk.
Meng Meng clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Oh, I think the girls' competition is much better than the boys'. I would like to ask the three male students, are you not trying your best?"
"No, but they are both very strong," Jiang Nanyu admitted. "They are like cheetahs ambushing their prey, patient and cautious."
"Oh?" Meng Meng raised an eyebrow and asked jokingly, "Then what do you three look like?"
"Um……"
Yin Mu described him as a "rhinoceros charging forward."
Everyone laughed.
"Okay, okay, let's get back to the point." Meng Meng brought the conversation back to normal, saying, "Let's continue looking at the girls' predictions. Who guessed correctly? Please show us your answer pads!"
Yin Mu turned the answer board over and looked at Zheng Wei and Zhou Jingyu's answer boards. He was surprised to find that Zheng Wei wrote Chen Qinglin this time, while Zhou Jingyu wrote Jiangnan Yu, which was completely different from the previous session.
Meng Meng was puzzled and asked, "Can you give me a reason?"
Zhou Jingyu chuckled: "I believe in Jiang Nanyu. Regardless of whether we win or lose, just consider it as moral support."
He looked as if he was treating everyone equally.
Zheng Wei curled her lips and said bluntly, "Because Chen Qinglin won the last round, we should take this into consideration when placing the bets. Let's try to get the points first."
Meng Meng nodded. "It seems everyone has their own ideas. What about Yin Mu? Only your answer is consistent with the previous link. What are your considerations?"
"Well..." Yin Mu hesitated for two seconds, "Sympathy vote?"
